A LIVE ORDINANCE
MEASURE TO REPEAL ANTI
 GAMING LAW.
It Was Introduced by Alderman Jackson and May Cause Debate at Council Meeting
 Tonight.

A special meeting of the City Council Will be held tonight and if an ordi- nance introduced Monday evening by AL derman J. Krkman Jackson is reported by the Judiciary Committee, to whom t was referred, there promises to be a lively debate on the floor of the Council chamber.
 The Jackson ordinance proposes to re- peal the ordinance prohibiting gaming within the city limits of Montgomery In other words the effect of the ordinance of Alderman Jackson is for the city to depend entirely on the Criminal Code of Alabama to protect the people of Mont gomery from the evils of gambling and gaming houses.
 Section 1123 of the city Code, which Alderman Jackson proposes to repeal, is as follows:
 Any person who plays at any game of chance or hazard for money or any other valuable thing. or who in any way aids, abets. countenances or encourages such game, must. on conviction, be fined not less than one nor more than one hundred dollars."
 The repeating ordinance did not at- tract any attention when 1t was intro- dueed at the Council meeting Monday evening because its substance was not stated It is expected that 1t will meet with opposition when 1t goes before the Alderman for passage or rejection.
 Alderman Jackson. who was a mem Der of the Select Committee, which re- gently investigated the invasion of a private residence by policemen who ar- rested several young men for playing cards therein, said yesterday that his ob- ject in seeking to repeal the ordinance was to guarantee to citizens the right to play cards in their homes without in- terference by the police. ''
 The Council at it's special meeting to- night will receive reports from the Com mittee on Schools and Public Works the Committee on Streets and Privileges and Franchises and the Select Committee raised to redistrict the city wards.

AN INFAMOUS ACCUSATION
Senator Bailey's Charge that Roose-
welt Advocates Lynch Law.

Senator Bailey, Of Texas, in a speech
made, In Brooklyn, August 25, and re-
ported in the class of journalism known
as yellow" and disreputable, declared
that the President had been an advocate
of lynch law. The Senator goes further
and becomes more definite. He refers
to the shooting and lynching of sixty
horse thieves in Montana and then makes
blunt accusation against the man who
will be again President of the United
States.
Here is man. said the speaker.
"who advocates lynch law us n penalty
for stealing, something unheard of in my
part of the country. Lynch law is ap-
piled there sometimes. but only for one
crime, an unspeakable crime"
Here is man, Senator from Texas.
who badly and recklessly makes the
statement from the platform that the
President of the United States advo-
Gates lynching for certain crimeA The
thing is infamous, but so shallow and
so false upon its face that it cannot
affect the thought or action OF any Amer
lean citizen. Senator Bailey has be-
come conspicuous in the political affairs.
not merely of the largest State in the
Union, but in the conduct of affairs by
the Senate of the United States. He
has the gift of oratory, he has 4 GER
tain forcefulness, but it is most unfor-
tunate that in the makeup of his men
tai composition he does not recognize the
fact that orators should never tell bald
lies, even in the utmost heat of a politi-
cal campaign.
The thing is so absurd, so utterly out
of the question that one cannot under
stand why this Texas Senator was so
lacking in tact, sense and judgment, as
to intimate that Mr.. Roosevelt could
compromise with lynching under any cir
cumstnnces.
The attitude of the President has al
ways been to demand the utmost observ-
nnce of all enacted laws. He has shown
il at all times, throughout his whole
career, risking at one time. his political
future, by enforcing in the State of
New York the laws. which he may not
nave himself countenanced, but any
where and everywhere he has shown him
self such a delicate and forceful regard
er of all laws enacted. that, in this one
respect he stands almost splendidly
alone.
Now comes one of the Senators of
the greatest State-in aren-in the
Union and says that Theodore Roosevelt
is an advocate of lynch law! How came
it that he has uttered such false and
foolish words?
The condition and mood and proper
tion of all things among the American
people is such that no campaign OF vii
,fication will be endured this year. So
grossly in bad taste. so utterly inexcus-
ible from any point of view, is this
assault from Senator Bailey, that it
passes almost beyond the realm of ques
tioning

PARTY POLITICS..
Striking Contrasts Revealed by Stud,
of Official Reports.

Striking contrasts Revealed by a Study
of Official Reports.
Ofncial reports show that protective
tariffs have been In operation in tho
United States during practically one-half
of the one hundred and fifteen years
since the adoption of the Constitution.
Official statistics show that during fifty
nine years of low tariff there were but
ten years in which the exports of the
country were as great as the imports.
and that during the entire ffty-nine
imports over exports was $515. 900, 900.
A study of the commerce of the protec-
tive years shows that exports exceeded
imports in twenty-seven of the fifty-two
protective years, and that the net excess
of exports over imports during that time
was $500, 600 600.
To state 1t In different form, low tariffs
In fifty-nina yenrs of operation show a
net exceys Of imports over exports of
S515, 1000. 900, while protective tariffs. In
fifty-two years of operation, show a net
excess Of exports over imports of ST.
00,0OO,0O0. The protective tariffs Of
ffty-two years have paid the commercial
debts of the fifty-nine years of low tar
ifs, amounting to $515, 900, 900, and, in
addition, placed $2,50o, 100000 to tho
credit of our export trade.
Another striking example of the
growth of our export trade under pro-
:ective tariff is found in the fact that
the excess of exports over imports in
the first three years of President Nc.
kinley's term was nearly four times as
much as the entire excess of exports over
imports from 1880 to the beginning of
the Mckinley administration. From
1T90 to March !. 1897, the excess of
exports over imports was $3S3. OBS. .497: ::
from March l. 1897. to March ], 1900.
the excess of exports over imports was
81, 1,4S3, ,537 ,049.
A compar rison of these figures shows
the relative effects of Republican pro-
lection and Democratic free trade or low
tnriffs on the revenues of the government
and the prosperity of the country.
