The Doctrine of Monroe.

The powers grit their savage teeth and
swear it is a sham;
They hurt their wild invective at our
watchful Uncle Sam;
They call it yankee impudence." ''un-
mitigated gall"
And hot as pepper from their lips the
wordy droppings fall
The kaiser gives his war mustache full
many a nervous pull,
The earth is SCARED by pawings Of dis
gruntled Johnny Bull.
The croakings of the Frenchy frog join In
the tale of woe,
But none of them dares monkey with the
doctrine of Monroe.
The editors across the seas use vitriolic
ink
In jotting down for public print the fiery
thoughts they think;
They work themselves into a sweat Of
frenzied holiness while
They throw their puffballs at the wall in
idiotic style.
Their people read the sizzling words and
gnash their teeth in rage;
Their blazing eyes almost burn holes
right through the printed page;
Anathemas from heated lips in sparkling
torrents flow,
Yet not hand is raised against the doc
trine of Monroe.
Meanwhile your good old Uncle Sam sits
in his easy chair
And reads the mouthings Of the press
with an unruffied air
And strokes the drapery on his chin and
smiles serenely at
The fuss they're kicking up about little
thing like that.
He calmly smokes his good cigar, but in
his eyes we see
twinkle fraught with meaning to the
sons of liberty;
1t says that if barking dog should dare
to bite he'll show
The sort of backing that's behind the
doctrine of Monroe!

HOW TEDDY FURNISHES" THE WHITES

1t now turns out that the closing OF
the postoffice at Indianola, Miss, is a
worse hardship upon the negroes than
upon the white patrons of the office.
When the office was closed all mail
matter for Indianola was by direction
OF the president forwarded to Green
burg for distribution. This point Is
thirty miles distant from Indianola
When the order of the president was
put into effect the white citizens of the
town employed mail carrier to bring
their mail from Greenburg each day,
and all mail for white citizens is deliv-
cred promptly. The colored patrons
of the Indianola Office do not employ a
special carrier though, and as conse-
euence their mail remains at Green
burg undelivered. Their letters are
being advertised as uncalled for, and
in due course will find their way to the
dead letter Office at Washington. This,
notes the Newman Herald, is the way

has been introduced into the North

power to limit the speeches of lawyers
when they are addressing either the
court or the jury. This cannot be con-

lawyers are supposed to get pay for

is a great,,big, brave, brainv, patriotic,

CONTEST OF OIL LAW
JUDGE GASToN HAS MATTER
 UNDER CONSIDERATION.
Standard Company Seeks to Establish Its Validity Before Complying With Act of the Recent
 Legislature.

No decision was reached yesterday by Judge J. B. Gaston of the County Court. in the oil tag tax case, heard by him Monday.
 The case is to test the validity of the new revenue code, which provides that all companies selling oil in Alabama shall be required to put tags on each gallon of oil sold. showing the brand, the maker and the fire test.
 The Standard oil Company has not com piled with the law O. F.. Ament, Man. ager of the Standard oil Company in Montgomery, was arrested and the case came up for hearing before Judge Cas- ton Monday. It was argued by Attorney General Massey Wilson for the State and Charles P. Jones, representing the oil company.
 The defendant demurred on the ground that the law must find support in police power and that one-haIf cent per gallon charged by the State is more than suffi- cient to carry out the provisions of the law and is consequently a revenue tax. The further point was made that the law was unconstitutional in that it contains more than one subject; that the section in question was an amedment to the rev. enue bill as originally introduced and changes the purposes of the bill: that the section as signed by the Speaker of the House, the President of the Senate and the Governor differs from the amend ment as shown on the Senate Journal.
 The law assaIled, requires tag tax sys- tenn for oil similar to that which for some time has been in effect on fertili- gers. It requires the company to pay one- half cent on the gallon for tags and to send the oil for examination for purity and combustibility to the Alabama Poly technic Institute. That institution under the law receives one-duarter of the reve- nue thus derived, while the remainder goes into the State Treasury
 After the demurrers had been heard and argued at length, Judge Gaston requested both attorneys to furnish him with briefs.
 The case against MT. Ament was brought by agreement between State offi- cials and a representative of the Stand ard oil Company for the purpose of test ing the law.
 No matter what the decision of Judge Gaston may be- the case will be appealed to the Supreme Court. The Standard oil Company has agreed that if the law is held to be invalid 1t will pay all back taxes since the act became effective
 The law provides fine for its violation as well as d civil action.
