RHODES WILL CLEAN UP.
Promises Police Committee He Will
Fix Up.

John S. Rhodes, the secondhand man
whose place of business at 1000 Kansas
avenue, has been complained of for the
reason that too much junk is kept piled
up outside of the building, was before
the police committee of the city council
last night, and promised the committee
that he would put things in good shape

Mr.. Rhodes explained to the commit
tee that he had already started to clean
up around his corner when the rains
commenced and interfered with his
work. Mr.. Rhodes also made some
charges against Mr.. Sherman, who he
claims is the man who started all the
trouble. Mr.. Sherman is one of Rhodes
neighbors.
The committee also had under consid-
Grafton the question of special police
men for fair week. A list of 60 appli-
cants was ''sifted" down TO 30, and at
Saturday, this will be again sifted to

A Serious Mistake.

Fort Payne Journal
Governor Johnston's candidacy is based
on avowed opposition to the new Consti-
tuition. That instrument is now the or
ganic law of the State, and whatever de-
fects 1t may possess, 1t is entiti~d to a
fair trial in the court IF public opinion.
1t will require that sort Oh a trial to
demonstrate it's shortcomings and dis
cover the necessary remedy. A fair
trial cannot be secured when the politi-
heads of the State are it's enemies. In
fact Mr.. Johnston does not propose to
give it a fair trial He announces pub
iicly that If elected he will use his infu-
ence to secure such changes as he thinks
the exigencies of the times may require
An effort to do this at this time will pro-
woke more feeling dissatisfaction and di-
vision. For these reasons, Governor
Johnston's candidacy at this time and on
the platform he announces is a serious
mistake, and his election will be a still
more serious one

AM uNwIsE UNDERTAKING.

Elsewhere in this issue appears an adj
dress to the voters of Alabama over the
signature of Hon. Frank S. Moody, of
Tuscaloosa, Chairman of the State Dis
pensary Executive Committee.
1t seems that Mr.. Moody's committee
was created several years ago. 1t does
not appear that it has been very active
during all this period. However, it came
to life suddenly last week in Birming
ham, and decided that it had a work to
do at this late day.
The burden of Mr.. Moody's address is
a call upon the people to see to it that
men are nominated for the Legislature
who are not hostile to the dispensary
idea.
Now The Advertiser is not foe of the
dispensary. On the contrary. it believes
that the dispensary is a good thing for
those communities which have thoroughly
canvassed the plan and have decided that
they want it. We believe that it is the
most effective means of minimizing the
evils Of liquor Yet devised, when operated
under proper conditions. Nevertheless,
we do not approve Mr.. Moody's under
taking at this time.
The attempt to interject the dispensary
issue into this campaign at this late day
Is not wise from any standpoint. 1t is
not for the best interest of the dispensary
movement, and it is not for the best in
terest of pure politics and high class men
at this juncture.
There cannot be any effective work
done in the interest of the dispensary in
the next two weeks. The people are not
thinking about that issue now, and ma
jority of them can't be made to take it
I'D. The result would only be confusion,
disturbance and discord in some places.
There is no need whatever of State
campaign on this issue. Democratic
legislatures have invariably recognized
the principle of home rule on the liquor
question. Prohibition laws have been
enacted for large part of the State in
the last twenty-five years by legislators
opposed personally to prohibition. In
the last few years number of dispen-
saries have been created under similar
conditions. 1t is safe to say that the
coming Legislature will follow this honor
ed Democratic method.

CUBA TO APPEAL FOR AID.
Roosevelt Will Be Asked to Convene
Senate to Ratify Relief Treaty.

From Washington to Chicago Tribune.
President Roosevelt WILL in the near flu
ture, receive an emphatic and direct APP
peal from the Cuban Government to call
an extraordinary session of the Senate for
the purpose of ratifying a commercial
treaty with the island republic so as to
permit the stricken Cubans to find a
market for their products. While no of
fetal action has been taken, President
Palma and the Cuban Government under
stand thoroughly that the United States
is extremely doubtful as to the wisdom
of saddling a debt of $35. O00.0 600 on the new
republic especially when the outlook for
redeeming the bonds are not particularly
bright When funds from this source
have been realized it is extremely doubt
full If the Cubans will be materially bene-
flied. az the need of a market for Cuban
products is even more pressing than that
for money.
The Cuban question will soon be as
pressing as it was during the closing days
of Congress- as the Cuban officials now
have under consideration the proposition
to make strong appeal to the President
for relief.
An. appeal of this character would be
embarrassing. both to President Roose-
welt and to the Senate. There is no dis
