About That Excursion.

bTtWIOH NtWS.
Isn't it about time--spring is almost
hcre-when the question may be safely
asked, Where's Asa Rountree going to
take the Alabama editors this year on
their annual excursion" II the chaff, /.
e.. those not entitled to the long list of
courtesies always extended the gang"
and who. in the past, have masked as
then we are in favor of trip from Mo-
bile, where the association meets, to
Tampa, Key West and possibly to Ha-
vana, on the Gulf. OF course. this sug-
gestion will meet with some opposition.
from the fact that all Alabama quill
drivers are 'land-lubbers. but we feel
warranted in saying that the trip would
prove one OF the most enjoyable in the
history OF the Press Association. What
say the hrethren? Speak out.

What Is Needed.

Greene County Democrat.
Jones-not the one who pays the
freight" but the one who caused the
Democracy to pay the freight-rises to
remark that anti-imperialism is the cry
II the party would win in 1904. Jones
ought to soak his head. He Is about as
competent to advise the national Democ-
racy as the Hon. Babe Bailey OF Texas
is to play wet nurse to the constitution.
What the national Democracy needs to
insure success in 1904 is to tell the Joneses
and Baileys and Tillmans to go way
hack and sit down.

COL. BRYAN NOT INVITED.

Conduce to Harmony.

New York, Feb. 23.-Much comment was
INDUCED in. today by politicians of all
shades because William J. Bryan was not
invited to the dinner of the Democratic
get together" Club last night. None of
the gentlemen In charge of the affair
would say anything for publication, how
over, but from the gossip among those
who attended the dinner. 1t was learned
that leaders OF the party in the East be-
lleved 1t better not to invite, Mr.. Bryan
Reorganization and harmony Is the
watchword now, and 1t was not believed
that these objects could be accomplished
successfully, II Mr.. Bryan were present.

Geneva Journal.
The Journal Is opposed to Mr.. Johnston
for Governor. Not because Of his preten-
tions, but because he is not the man to
purify politics in Alabama. He has been
tried before and was found wanting in
many things. Jflks is the man for Gov
ernor, and he will receive the nomination.

but would be swindling his customers. II
he should add q, quantity Of morphine to
the powders he would not only be a
swindler. but might also be a murderer.
The same principle holds good IN al
imitation articles sold. II ought not to
be unlawful to manufacture imitation
butter If 1t Is made Of pure material and
marked and sold for just what 1t Is. 1t
may be possible to manufacture a vinegar
which would be as good and a. whole
some as pure apple vinegar but the
manufacturer and dealer should be pun
ished for selling 1t as pure apple vinegar.
And the principle holds good through the
entire list of food products. They should
be sold fer just what they are and moth
ing else, and the laws should enforce that
requirement in every instance. Then no
harm would be done and no one be In
jured.
There is another point In the jinstruc-
tons of the Judge that As worthy OF
serious consideration. He instructed the
jury that 1t made no difference whether
the dealer did or did not know that the
Chilli sauce he sold was adulterated; he
had violated the law and whether he did
1t knowingly or ignorantly he was equally
guilty. 1t IL only a repetition of the
well known principle that ignorance Of
the law Is no. defence for those who
violate it.
At first glance the position of the Judge
might seem unjust to the dealers. but 1t
is not so. II the retail merchants buy
goods as pure, which are not so, they
have recourse on the wholesale dealers
or the manufacturers. and the latter
would soon lose both reputation and
custom II their customers were liable to
be fined for selling imitation goods. 1t
Is good la and Kentucky should not
enjoy monopoly of it.

COURTS FOSTER

JURlST GIVES HIS REASONS

quite Clear

New York, Jan. 2l--Justce Scott, in

Booth 4 Co., Of Chicago, a corporation
known throughout this country and
Canada as the fish combination, a per-
manent injunction restraining the Sell
bold-Stocker company of this city, a
corporation recently organized, from
selling fish within the territory con-
trolled by them
That territory, 1t is alleged IN the pa
pers filed with the application for the
injunction, covered nearly all the Unit"
ed States and large portion Of Can"
ada. A, Booth a Co. was organized in
1898, and consisted Of q consolidation

CURED stock In the new company en-
tered into an agreement not TO engage

covered by the consolidation for a
period OF ten years The Seibod-Stock-
er company, according TO the papers IN
the case, was organized by stockholders
and other persons interested In A.
Booth & Co., who had entered into this
agreement In granting the injunction
Justice Scott says In part
THAT the agreement sought to be
enforced Is not void as being general
