element of the nation.
Mark Hanna. on the other hand. is look

country who own something, and who
have by virtue of industry and thrift
accumulated a competency. He has be-

But to local politics Tomorrow week
the people of Birmingham are to elect
a mayor board of aldermen, chief Of
police and others. do not like to mix up
in local politics. but I do think, regard
less of the fact that Mayor Drennen is
very clever fellow personally, that it
would be a great mistake for the people
OF Birmingham TO re-elect him mayor.
To do so would be an endorsement of
machine politics. While Bremen is
clever. good fellow, he has never done
anything as mayor to warrant the peo-
pie of Birmingham in overturning pre-
cedent which should always prevail and
which is an unwritten law. to elect him
to a third term. He has really done moth
ing of great consequence except to claim
that which others have done. Birmng-
ham has gone forward In the past few
years because of united effort on the part
of all of its citizens and because of its
natural advantages. Mayor Drennen has
gone along with the tide He has been
merely. one of a multitude. lie means
to do well, and has done we'll in that he
has not pulled backward But he is not
a seintilating genius nor a captain of
industry; he could not lead an army of
industrial conquest or any other sort Of
an army. In fact there is nothing in his
leadership nor his record to warrant the
voters of Birmingham in lifting him upon
their shoulders and carrying him tri-
umphantly to the third term chair.
George Ward. who aspires to the
mayorality, is a young man of Birming
ham who has made a business success he
is honest, conscientious, energetic and
able. 1 heard him make a speech at the

Ideas of Temperance.

"Semi-teetotalism is a rather absurd
rame. but the thing itself will be COM
mended by practical temperance REFORM
trs." remarked a sober man.
THE aim of its promoters is not to for
bid the use of alcoholic stimulants alto
gether but to repress 1t within reason
able bounds. They argue that the habit
of drinking between meals Is responsible
for most of the abuses of which society
has reason to complain. and that If this
can be checked intoxication will be much
less frequent.
There is much truth in this assump-
ton. Perhaps In an deal state of eivili-
zation no one would drink anything but
water. Yet artificial habits have made
artificial beverages useful. I his being the
case, it may be better to regulate. which
Is possible, than to attempt to prohibit,
which experience has shown in most cases
tc be impossible"

4 MIGHT oE TERROR.

I looked out on frightened night.
With storm-swept skies above me-
While ocean waves of mountain height,
Shut out the land that loved me-

And asked: Dear Jesus. come again.
And still the dreadful thunder.

The gates of day were opened wide
\ newborn glory bringing.
A world of water by my side
But every wave was singing.

Unique Collecting Scheme.

"A collecting agency in Brooklyn has
the most unique scheme TO collect bad
debts that l have ever heard of" said
a business man. ~
THE agency has provided it's collectors
with wagons in which TO drive around
and visit their victims. These wagons
are painted bright colors. such as cardi-
mai green, yellow and orange. and on the
side is painted in glaring letters the name
of the agency and the words. Collectors
of Bad Debts I imagine that almost
any man would rather pay his debts than
to have such wagon as that drive up
in front of his place of business and

T is all politics these days. l mean
those people who nave nothing to do
but talk, are talking politics. The
most people of Birmingham. however, are
busy making money: and these people
are not so much interested in the political
situation as to give It more than casual
attention. The men who manage the
great Industrial enterprises of Birming-
ham are interested in the national polit-
ieal situation, in that they desire nouii-
mated by both parties in the next presi-
Dental contest, men who are conserva-
tive and who would work to the end of
continuing the present era of prosperity
which envelopes the entire country
Those who are of republican persuasion
want Hanna nominated, and those of
democratic persuasion are yet in doubt
as between Olney and German.
At the present time. Olney seems to be
in the lead because Cleveland Whitney
and Bryan seem to be united upon the
Massachusetts ex-secretary of state un-
der Cleveland. They like the mans
nerve. He ii was who was responsible
for the famous Venezuelan message of
io9os AlN 10 u man u bdth-D1hN
brains Yet he comes from an unfortu-
nate state. Unfortunate in that it is of
the far east and that it is most all of
the time republican.
The Parker boom went up like a sky
rocket and is apparently coming down
like a stick There is a weight to this
boom in New York. The Tammany peo-
pie are against Parker because they are
of the opinion that Parker means Hill.
And Tammany and Hill are friends no
more. Murphy. who was United States
senator at the same time that Hill was.
and who controls much of the northern
New York vote. is operating with Tam
many and against Hill. Murphy is ar
tagonistic to Parker. Richard Croker
who, reports to the contrary is yet the
leader of Tammany, is against Parker.
and Croker is determined that Parker
shall not be New Yorks democratic pres
idential candidate. Thus it would seem
that Parket Is out of 1t. With Parker
out would seem now that the
democratic contest for the presiden-
tial nomination is between Richard Olney
of Massachusetts and Arthur P. Cor
man of Maryland. William j. Bryan is
apparently for Olney and this would seem
to indicate that the influences of both
Cleveland and Bryan are behind Olney,
making him at the present time the lead

there is much division. Roosevelt wants
the nomination. He is playing politics
