There are other stores in Birming- ham---good stores you have known long. We do not claim to bear the palm alone But we do believe that there are points of vantage in Porter's clothing. And we are absolutely honest in our conviction, and we shall always press our claim to your patronage upon them
 We'll always do so by appealing to your sense of prudence, economy, progress siveness and discrimination
 By showing you whereon we base our claims---never by decrying, berating, or ridiculing competition.
 When you understand the relative ad- vantages of this store we know how you'll estimate 1t.

Villas GREAT SPEECH.

NO DEMOCRAT can read the speech
~ of William F. Villas at the Jeffer-
sons birthday celebration by the Iro-
quois club of Chicago Wednesday night
without being nightly cheered: no Re
publican can read it without being i'm
pressed with the sOUndness of the
truths so eioquently set forth by the
able Wisconsin Democrat. We wish
Mr.. Villas speech could be put into the
hands Of every voter in the land, and
we wish every voter could be persuaded
to read it.
His talk was not a campaign argu-
ment in the ordinary sense Of the word /;
it was not what might properly be
called a keynote" speech. Dir. Villas
did not suggest any platform for adop-
ton at St Louis in July. He outlined
no plan to be followed in the struggle
between the great political parties next
fall. Rather was his speech a remark
able description of what the Democratic
party has stood for, what it stands for
today, what it will be standing for
when the republic is centuries older.
He pleaded for an old-fashioned re-
vival of Democratic religion. While the
party had been wandering in the viii
derness, fashioning patchwork shell
ters, leaning on broken reeds and slen-
der STATS, the Republicans have swept
into power and were dazzling the peo-
pie with their gold and glitter, their
world-Power false patriotism and their
billion-dollar congresses. And he said:
Give us back the sober common sense
or free government. honest sight Of its
true objects. the common good and equal
rights OF all. Intelligence and spirit TO re-
sent the mOnstrOus extravaganza. the per-
version Of law and administration and
piunder OF the people to enrich the favored
rev, the grating of COrruption's sprouts
on the old tree Of liberty. Reinspire in us
our nOblest inheritance, independent, SELF
governing. self-sufficient Individual man
hood; that proud American. conscious OF
his nature and his rights, who sees in
VOC MS only oVerlord, nor bends n any
fear Of man, who walks his day of labor
IN Eeld or factory, counting room or Of
nee. as knight 10 his duty. doubling
not ms seif-respect or right to respect OF
all. who seeks no secret plots. but stands
for open concert with all like fellowmen
Tor their just rights and no more"
That's the right sort OF talk. What
the Democratic party needs more than
anything else is to return to its old
principles. 1t has wandered long
enough in darkness. The light is being
held up to guide its feet, and there is
no longer reason for it to stray from
the path that leads straight to civic
glory With the right sort of nominees
and platform at st. Louis, with a few
speakers like William F. Villas on the
stump. the Democrats viii win the
presidential election next fall as surely
20 election day comes around.

FOLK FOR GOVERNOR.

4 HERE Is ENCOURAGEMENT for
L all believers in good government in
the race being made by Joseph W.
Folk of st. Louis for the Democratic
nomination for governor Of Missouri.
Au. Folk is the district attorney who
has become famous for his prosecutions
ot the boodlers in st. Louis and else
where about the state of Missouri. He
has permitted no influence, and plenty
OF strong influence was exerted. to
swerve him "a hairs breadth from the
line Of duty he laid out for himself
And the great people Of Missouri are
with him. That much is made plain
10y the returns from the Democratic
county conventions. One after another
has instructed it's delegates for Folk.
I'm Vernon county. where the state in
sane asylum Is located, and where the
corrupt ring that has long dominated
Missouri politics IS especially strong. a
bitter fight was made against Folk.
The convention was held the other day
and the delegates were instructed TO
vote for Folk. first. last and all the
time Only in st. Louis has the Folk
campaign failed to gain ground.
1t is now conceded by machine ad-
herents that Joseph W. Folk will be
nominated for governor, and already
there are mUtterings about what the
gang viii do TO him at the polls. But
the gang that has been unable to de-
feat Folk in the county conventions
viii never be able to defeat him at the
polls. In the hearts of the people Of
Missouri no man holds a higher place
than does this brilliant, fearless and
able district attorney. II he is nom
inated-and there is every reason for
believing that he viii be-he viii be
given the biggest majority received by
a gubernatorial candidate in Missouri
FOR years.
And the Folk platform is a simple
one He has given the people to under
stand that if elected he viii be the
governor In his first speech he said:
IF I am elected governor. the first
time a legislator takes "A bride there will

men out Of the party organization. I
shall recommend laws FORGETTING fran
chiscs ana offices obtained by bribery.
and the passage Of laws compelling wilt
nesses 10 testify regarding bribery and
protecting them from prosecution by rea-
son OF such testimony"
There is nothing equivocal about that.
With Folk as governor the Missouri
rascals viii ind mighty scanty pick
ings.

no better off than we, but they were
more accustomed TO fasting and stood
1t better. We finally got the general
manager to issue an order firing that
cook, and We were all glad to see him

PROSPERITY SUBSIDIES.

7 He SPECTACLE of from 1000 to
5000 people blocking the street in
front Of a New York department store
/ To apply for 200 or SEQ positions is de-
cidedly instructive. Has the east en-
tered upon n period Of depression. that
there should be such q clamor for
small places? Il would seem SO. for
surely if New York's workers were hap
PLY and steadily employed such a mob
as that described in the dispatches
would hardly have been possible.
Employees often change their positions
Tor little reason and for no reason, but
they do not change in such large bodies
as that reported. The truth is that
many working people in the east are
suffering the pinch of poverty. Numer-
Gus mills and factories have cut wages
materially. others are curtailing their
output which means the same thing
and some are closing altogether. The
fact that this is a presidential year ac-
counts for some OF the depression. but
not for all Of it. Has the prosperity
wave receded entirely?
Another notable feature Of the situa
ton lies in the fact that the cost Of
living does not decrease. on the con-
trary, all the necessaries Of life cost
more money every day. The purchasing
power Of a dollar is not as great by
Is or 20 per cent today as il was a year
or two ago. II wages continue TO go
down and prices 10 go up where will
the working people end? There must
be an adjustment. and that very short
ly, or great suffering cannot be avoided

a dispatch from Chefoo says the Pc
tropavlovsk was sunk as the result Of a
collision with a mine laid By a Japan

to the st. Petersburg authorities. this
is a much more reasonable explanation
of that setback than the story that the
PetrOpavlovsk colided with a Russian
mine. And the sinking of a Russian tor
pedo boat, announced yesterday. adds
color TO the belief that the Japs are
wide awake around Port Arthor.
