Alabama in statuary Hall.

Each state is invited and expected
TO place two statues OF dead Ameri-
cans in Statuary Hall in the National
Capitol 1t is a National Hall of Fame,
or rather it will be when all the
states have done their duty in this re
gard. A commission appointed by the
Georgia Legislature to select the
names of two prominent Georgians for
statues in inches in Statuary Hall has
lust reported in favor of the names of
DR.. Crawford w. Long, the discoverer
of anaesthesia, and of Gen. John b.
Gordon. General Gordon is still living,
as all old soldiers know and rejoice at.
but a niche is to be reserved for a
statue in his honor when his work in
this world is done.
Is Alabama to be represented in
Etatuary Hall? There are such names
as Admiral Semmes, William L. Yam
rey, George l.. Houston, ]. Marion
Sims, Father Ryan, and perhaps a
dozen more to select from, and, follow
ing the example of Georgia, a niche
might be left vacant to be filled by a
Statue of John Tyler Morgan, who has
filled in every sense of the word a
beat in the Senate nearly thirty years.
A vote is being taken in Mississippi
Hor the purpose of ascertaining the
names of the greatest Mississippians,
and at this writing Jefferson Davis is
pasily leading the list. Such vote
might be taken in this state, the bal
lotting to be confined to Alabamians
who have passed over the divide. The
subject is one that should interest all
who love the state and its history,
both as a state and a territory.

historic meeting of the State Democratic
Executive Committee. At this gathering
of the trustees of the Democratic party
in Alabama a new order of things was in
stituted. A general state primary was
ordered in Alabama for the election of
Democratic nominees for the various Of
fees and for the members of the state
fifty years such candidates have been
selected by a convention or the party
and the advocates of the primary sys-
tenn and Of the old system, the system
of the forefathers'' when it came to a
vote were about equally divided 1t
is fact, however, that the judgment
of the majority of the committee was
opposed to primary as inexpedient and
harmful to the party, but the popular
demand was such that the committee
could not withstand it,
Truly there is new order Of things in
Alabama, a new era has cawned, ther
has been tremendous shaking up of
old customs and some or the old-timers
do not know where they are att This
change began with the constitutional
convention, which assembled in Mont
gomery last summer and built a new con-
stitution for the people to live under. ALL
or nearly all of the delegates TO this con-
vention were moved by patriotic mo-
tives. They were building house for
their children to live under irrespective
of party. Heaven and earth shall pass
away but my word shall not pass away"
said the Master. This is the most SUBJ
lime saying of all time, and in a smaller
Temporal sense 1t may be said that the

idea in the minds of the delegates TO this
convention was that the Democratic, Re-
publican and other parties shall pass
awy, but we will build a fundamental
law for our children that shall not pass
away, at least for many years to come.
So they wrought faithfully and wisely.
This convention was called largely to
provide for fair elections and to do away

state to catch a big enough Johnston
fish for the contest
I have no idea that Johnston intends
to run for Governor himself. If he can't
get one man strong enough. he will get
bunch of them from different sections
and they will enter the eFuturity'' as
the Johnston entry, so to speaR. against
Jelks. the hot favorite in the books.
So whatever happens, we are to have
an interesting political contest over
full mile course and every man In Ala
bama will have full and free opportunity
to express himself. and yell and shout
along the rail as the contestants come up
the home stretch, to his hearts content.
President Roosevelt is enthusiastic and
straightforward. He means well, but
don't think he means that he really in
tends to fight the trusts. Roosevelt wants
to be President again and he knows quite
well that he can't put a broad and eff
fective antitrust bill through Congress.
He knows that failure would injure him,
and 1 am strongly of the opinion that
the Presidents fight against trusts will
be of an exceedingly mild nature.
BY the way the next Presidential con-
test promises to be one of the most in
teresting In the hissty of tie nation.
Regardless of the internal opposition,
the chances are that Roosevelt will be
the Republican nominee and that his
Democratic opponent will be Arthur p.
German of Maryland.
German. in my opinion is the broadcast
and ablest American statesman of the
present generation. He is, likewise, the
most practical political manager. He has
the confidence of both the capitalist and
the laborer and I believe that he is the
one Democrat who can defeat Roosevelt
or any other Republican candidate. and
enter the White House
Senator Bailey of Texas is one of the
ablest men in the United States Senate.
He has made a splendid reputation for
himself in the Senate, but his unfortunate
fracas with Senator Beveridge will tenn
porarily have a depressing effect upon
his standing before the country. Perhaps
no man regrets the unfortunate affair

The present era In Alabama politics is
an era of young men. The od-timers

many who favored ciinging to the old

had been trained and grew up, are Bit

During the debates on the primary
question it was practically conceded
that the executive committee had no
power to order a primary. They assumed
that power, feeling justified on the score
of expediency, if not necessity. Some of
the very ablest men on the committee
opposed primary. But 1t is said that
the voice of the people is the voice of

disobeyed. The primary has come to

Riqht Of Privacy.

AS a rule men and women are
more anxious to get their pictures into
q newspaper than to keep them out.
AS rule the so-called right of privacy
is not asserted, but case has arisen in
New York that brings up in tangible
form the control of a person over his
counterfeit. This right-of-privaey
case was brought by Abigail M. Rob
inson, a beautiful girl of Rochester,
N. Y, to restrain two flour mills from
using her picture on two brands of
flour. She asked for damages to the
extent of $4,000, and she carried the
case to the highest court in her state,
where she encountered defeat.
This attempt to establish the right
.Df privacy was carefully considered in
al its bearings by the highest court in
New York. In the course of its de-
cision the court said:
.swhile most persons would much pre-
FER to have a good likeness of them
selves appear in responsible periodical
or leading newspaper rather than upon
an advertising card or sheet, the doc
trine which the courts are asked to
create for this case would apply as well
to the one publication as to the other,
for the principal which court of equi-
~ is asked to assert in support of
recovery in this action is that the right
of privacy exists and is enforceable in
equity, and that the publication of that
which purports to be a portrait of an
other person. even if obtained upon the
street by an impertinent individual with
a camera has the right to prevent his
features from becoming known to those
outside of his circle of friends and ac-
Quaintances."
The court decided that, barring IL
belous cartoons and caricatures, the
so-called right of privacy does not le-
gally exist in New York State-that
the publication of ones portrait can
not be restrained by law-that the
court can only deal with libelous
matter in such cases. The question
was not raised in this case as to how
far poor work on the artists or print
ers part with a name attached could
be carried safely, but it did decide
that any one has right to use any
other ones portrait if the work of
using be reasonably well done. In
other words 1t decided that the al
legged right of privacy is a Pigment of
the brain with no law behind it.

Speeding in a palace car across an old
battlefield, wherein mighty armies of
men did two score years ago fight in the
most terrible conflict of all the ages, two
travellers the other day looked out upon
the new wilderness that has sprung from
the blood of the brave, and each busy
with his own thoughts and weary of
many things was silent. The elder had
fought there and made history for the
younger to read as glorious achievement
Petwixt the two no word was spoken UNI
til there flashed in low valley an ADAM
doned old mill by which flowed a brawl-
ing brook shaded by the blood-nurtured
Vrginian trees.

soldier said. THE mill is decaying and
falling away piece by piece, but the brook
still is Drumming, as was true before it

of the old mill in war, the soldier who
fought there became silent again and his
companion was deep In the lesson taught
The brave old soldiers lesson to his

Of fair elections.
Thus 1t was TO surprise to those who
had felt the pulse of the new movement
in Alabama politics to find that the rep
resentatives from many black belt coun-
ties were the most earnest in their de-
mand for a primary. Under the old con-
Vention system the black belt counties
had representation IN the convention
based on their population which was
largely composed Of negroes. 1t would
be supposed. therefore, that it was to
their interest," to maintain this system

THE r1URr1UR OF THE WORLD.

In these days of brassy skies and blis-
tering heat when time seems to stand
still and hold you writhing before a fur
mace door, the fool and the swineherd
make your burden of broiling much the
harder to bear, my beloved.
The fool and the swineherd you cannot
always escape. You may fly to your own
little paradise, that holy of holies God
has given you by name of home, and
there with those who make your life no
BILE you abide for some speedy hours; but
down below your calm height the fool and
the swineherd, brigands of the moral life,
wait your coming and fall upon you as
they fell in mary dusty yesterday.
They are the dogs of the Furies, deter
mined to drag you down; and the worst
of 1t is they often succeed. Against them
the armor of virtue and the mantle of
calm content arc as weak as shelter of
thin paper in storm of hail
In their own folly and uncleanliness of
the swill-trough, the fool and the swine
herd assume to Know all things, to be all
wise and virtuous, far-seeing, skllful,
discerning-great In their own foul con-
dition of conceit-and therefore they ac-
count honest and self-respecting folk to
be ignorant or worse For the worthy
things you do they claim credit to them
selves, and stand ever ready to steal
fl ON you the rewards of your patient en-
deavor.
You may be % leader of the people and
do great things before the world, or a
humble toiler for a daily wage and the
fool or the swineherd will claim credit
for your achievements in public life or
rob you of your fair pay in private &C.
cupation. Both the fool and the swine
herd in the general society of life are
thieves ready to fitch from you purse and
good name. honor and peace alike. Snap
ping and snarling and whining, plumber
ing and laundering and slandering, the
fool ad the swineherd make the heat hot
ter in July days and the cold colder in
nights of December
But the things of peace and comfort
and happiness that we miss, we can't
have, you know. While the mill may
never grind with the water that is past,
there have been days when the sunshine
