until next November. when the new term begins.
 Already one special session has been held, commencing July 1, and running al- most the entire month.
 The failure of so many of the acts Of the last legislature to stand the test of the law has, been the cause of com ment among the people of the state. Within the last three weeks of the su- preme court sessions two rulings have been made that rendered imperative laws because of improper attention of the so- lons Reference Is made to the Jeffer- son County Court bill and one of the provisions of the constitution on im- peachments.
 On top of these and others before them now comes the Lusk bill, which gives promise of making world of trouble. It has seemed to business men that there Is little excuse for such oversights and that a bad name is given the state in the seeming necessity TOT so many bills having to be taken to the courts. In other words, 1t looks to the average citizen like the members of the legislature ought to have known better than to have passed bills that would not stand the test of the courts, as both bodies were made up largely of lawyers.

There Was a Resemblance.

Rufus W. Peckham of the Supreme court, relates story which concerns a politician who in his community posed as a second Abraham Lincoln. This gen. tleman allowed himself to be inveigled into a public debate with an orator from a distant state.
 A large audience was present and tho sympathies and cheers were early preju- diced in favor of the local "Honest. Abe . The celebrity was introduced by the chairman with these words: T take pleasure In presenting the country's most worthy emulator of our martyred Lin- coln.' Thereupon, in an un-Lincolnlike manner, the emulator devoted half hour in abusing and insulting his opponent 10 the delight of his hearers.
 As the stranger stepped to the front or the stage he was hissed and Jeered. He mentioned the name of Abraham Lincoln and immediately there was a respectful silence. Looking at his adversarys large and clumsy feet and shaking his head the visitor observed:
 ''Yes. he's worthy to be called Honest Abe for 'tis said of Lincoln that when he had once planted his foot ten thousand men could not move it."

n 4 oNTGoAIERY. August 6-(speeial) MI United States Senator John T. Morgan, who Is summering at Bailey Springs, near Florence, Alaq thinks that the republicans have forced the democrats to contend for honesty and decency in the conduct of the govern ment, legislation for the common gooo' and obedience to law, as result Of the usurpation and maladministration Of the present White House administration. In a letter to the Montgomery correspondent of this paper, the venerable senator thus expresses himself on the situation:
 'I am free to say that do not believe that two more worthy representatives of the democratic party could have been selected by the St. Louis convention. There Is no possible personal objection to Judge Parker or to MT. Davis, and there are no truer, more consistent or more en- frightened democrats in the Union.
 'The platform has presented in proper, clear and unmistakable terms, the true latitude of the democratic party upon all questions that at present concern the welfare of the people and the duty of the government. The best way to secure the election of the ticket Is for every democrat to work as earnestly, as sim cerely and as courageously as the nomi- nees will work for that great result
 No question that is presented In the platform can be considered as paramount over any other question. except In pro- portion to it's influence upon the safety and prosperity of the country.

of the conference committed As noted that committee decided that the senate should recede from two of it's amend ments. The committee was then silent on all the other changes, which was im- portant because the bill passed by the senate was little like the house measure in its salient features.
 Those who attack the measure also say 1t was not properly certified to by the officers of both houses. It Is also said that the passage of the conference report was not regular because a majority of the senate side of the committee did not cast any votes. The provision that In case Jefferson county landed safe with its consolidated court bill that county was not to be considered is also point ed out as a weakness.
 This made 1t a local measure, it is said, as it elinainated Jefferson county, while 1t was passed as a general law. The fact that Jefferson county has failed in securing its law does not eliminate this weakness some think though 1t very likely does. All In all, the bill bill has been discredited and abused until few be- lieve it has any chance to make good either before the courts or the legisla- ture if a special session should be call- ed.
 This much may be said with assurance of certainty No extra session of the legislature will be called by the present executive until 1t is made very plain to him that such action Is absolutely nec- essary to save the judiciary from disas- ter. He cannot do Nenything at all until the courts act. So far as the executive Is concerned the bill is law and will be so until declared otherwise by the su- preme court It is not at all certain that there can be action by the courts

Uncle Joe Cannon had the privilege of listening to dissertation on the subject of public speaking. The preaching of a certain minister was held up by one of the party as an example of the highest type of pulpit oratory. One of the reas- ons given for this mans success in the pulpit was that he never indulged in a heavy meal before preaching.
 Speaker Cannon had heard the minister referred to. and that he dissented from the favorable opinion was manifest when he said:
 Better results would be obtained If his salary were cut down by the trustees; he still eats too heartily before entering the pulpit"

For there comes a time in the tide
of many individuals when. tired
