Prime Minister Deakin OF Austria

other things defending the white Au-
stralia policy)'It was the very essence
OF Australian life, giving TO the peo-
pie the amplest forn Of self govern

tent with the full exercise OF those
powers to permit the introduction OF
elements not to be assimilsted in

Those who administer the law must
now redeem the pledge. There is no
getting away from this responsible
duty. The honor and the good faith
of the American people are at stake,
and when they come to their senses
they will doubtless do the right thing.
The Niagara Movement has skilful-
ly put the thin edge of the wedge un-

whole wedge gets under hin be will
rise to higher conceptions of justice
and duty, unless his moral percep
tions have been blunted by reason of
his unhampered sway as controlling

the immortal Declaration OF Inde-

all his notions Of liberty, indepen-
dence and patriotism. He may be
big enough to concede the right of
the Negro to share in the blessings
and benefits of that famous document,
and the Constitution which grew out
Of its manly and patriotic utterances'

For right is right since God is God,
And right the day will win.

Condition. are different in America
from those in Australia and the logic
which applies to alien races in that
country may not apply to any ele
mens of the polyglot population OF
America who are all incorporated in
to the body Of its citizenship by the
terms OF its citizenship when qualified
to assume the duties OF citizenship.
The Niagara Movement insists that
the Federal Constitution shall throw
the egis of its protection over every
citizen in the Republic entitled to
share il, and that the Greek and Ro-
man practice Of having two distinct
strata CT society, one to rule and one
to serve shall not be recognized an3
accepted as principle in our theory
of free government where the people
are said to rule, not some people but
all the people. Any theery which
runs counter to this, which comedies

govern and control in this republic is
subversive of the rights and liberties

sponsibilities Of citizenship.

Experience of Joe Jefferson.

The late Joseph Jefferson used to say
that about the most embarrassing expe-
rience of his life befell in the Mills
building, Wall street, New York. While
waiting for an elevator one day stout
little man wearing a full beard ap-
preached and greeted him by name.
Mr.. Jefferson responded pleasantly,
adding: 81 know your face perfectly,
of course, but | can't place you. see
many faces and I'm apt to get confused
in my study of physiognomy." The lit
tie, stout, compact stranger smiled as
he turned his cigar over in his mouth
and said: I'm Gen. Grant" Jeffer-
son always declared that he got out
at the next landing and walked down
three flights Of stairs to the street for
fear he would make himself addition
ally conspicuous by asking the gentle
man if he had ever been in Washington
or il he was veteran of the late war!

THE LEGEND OF MUSIC,

The Jews have an cid tradition that when
the world was done,
And God from His work was resting. He
called to Him. one by one,
The shining troops of the angels. and
showing the wonder wrought.
The Master asked of His servants what
they of the vision thought.
Then one white angel, dreaming DER the
marvel before him spread.
Bent low in humble obeisance. lifted his
voice and said:
"One thing only is lacking-praise from
the new-borne tongue,
The sound of hallelujah by the great
creation sung"
SO God created music-he voices Of land
and sea,
And the songs OF the stars revolving ir
one vast harmony.
ether sent,
The song of the destined ages thrilled
through the armament.
So the rivers among the valleys, the mus
mur Of wind-swept hill,
The seas and the bird-thrilled woodlands
utter their voices still;
Songs of stars and OF waters. echoes OF
vale and shore
The voice of primeval nature praislny Him
evermore
And the instruments men have fashioned
since time and the world were young
With gifted fingers giving the metal and
wood tongue,
With the human voice translating the
souls wild Joy and pain,
Have swelled the undying paean. have
raised the immortal strain!

It, but you're careless in your talk, and
it's all heard and repeated and set store
by in way you'd hardly believe. Your
fathers and mothers, gentlemen and
ladies, they were different, and looked
after their servants and their houses
different. But you don't care what we
are like If things run smooth and give
you no trouble. The tradesmen, may
be, bid to the butler and cook for your
custom, and the higher the bills are
the better it is for them both, and half
1t gets kind Of easy to pick up things
in little ways. Everybody's too rich
and too reckless and that's the whole
trouble. What do these young men
that's waiting on the table hear talked
about all the time? Why, money. and
how much you can do with it. and how
mean you look without it. That's not
Just what you say, but that's how they
hear 1t. They see extravaganza all
round them, and hear 1t talked all the
time, and they go and do the same. II
you boast Of how much you've made
playing cards and betting on the races,
why they'll think it's grand thing to
do, and they'll do it once too often and
be catched like my poor boy. I amt

cuse me, you stole his conscience, sir,
before he stole your silver. You'll get
back your property, but he'll never get
back what he's lost-ond if you send
him to prison, he-hell come out
worse than he went in. He was good

A little cry across the years,
And l who heard, in deep alright,

Beyond the Walls.

Just beyond these tow'ring, massive
Walls the world In beauty lies,
Smiling, fragrant, green and passive
Meath the sunny summer skies.
Offering it's million treasures
To the happy, young and free.
All, those gladstone summer pleasures
Are for others-not for me!
Just beyond these grim and frowning
Walls lie forests, fields and lakes,
With their placid beauties crowning
Grand old Earth; while life-love
wakes
Natures wards to soulful singing,
AS Gods wondrous love they see,
All, their thrilling tones are bringing
Cheer for others-not for me.
Just beyond these walls the pansy
And the daisy sweetly bloom;
Please their loveliness the fancy
OF the June-day bride or groom.
Blithe the wee and winged musicians
Play their tunes from bush and tree.
All, those summer sounds and visions
Are for others-not for me!
Just beyond these walls my longing
Fancy roams at will all day;
And my turbulent and throngtng
Thoughts in blissful freedom play.
Just beyond these walls and grating
Bright smiling star see,
For q little girl is waiting
Not for someone else, but me!

Far from Erin I've roamed, and to

Still on farth'r, my lot it may be;
But it was, and twill be all the way
The land that is fairest to me;
The dearest it is, and it will
With the march of new times dearer

Enhaloing each tie and each thrill
That are shrined in the Long, Long

There's measure of bliss unalloyed
In the thought that, unfettered and
strong,
Wanders back to the joys that abide
In her valleys of pleasure and song;
Bright beam they in visions before me
All enlightened by memory's ray,
And sweet are the thoughts that stea'
DER me
Of an Isle that is far, far away.
'Tis an island of trouble and sorrow
And tyranny clouds her today,
But there surely will dawn tomorrow
When that tyranny must pass away
AS the torrents pass through hel
mountains,
So freedom will cleave through each
bar,
And her swords yet will flash like hel
fountains,
Midst the clash and the thund'r o1
The temples of Fame are rejecting
The genius of heroes renowned,
The lights of her martyrs directing
Illumine our pathways around;
Hope glows ev'ry moment the bright

While her sons for battle prepare;
So forward with hearts all the lighter
Till the laurels of vict'ry we wear

MORGAN COUNTY MEN TALK or ANOTHER CANDIDATE,

 spoken If Az Aspir.nt for Nominaflon.

Decatur. Nov. 14.--(speciaI.) )-The friends of ex-governor Joseph F. Johnston have had their heads to- eether here working to induce him to enter the race for Governor. Gov ernor Johnston has always been very strong in this county, carrying this county when he ran against Senator Morgan for United States Senate. The Decatur News says in a very pointed editorial this week that some good man ought to enter the contest and make the race on higher plain than is being made by Conner and Cunningham.
 Candidates are announcing for vari- ous offices. Senator s. A. Lynne will be a candidate to succeed himself from the counties of Morgan and Law renee. Porter Bentley, a yonng attor- ney of Hartsell, is also candidate foi the Senate.
 A number have announced for rep resentatives including Capt. Dan Wal den, Ferries Tidweii W. w. Callahan D. F. Gordon and J. M. Simpson.
 The question of consolidating De- catur and New Decatur is now beins discussed very freely. Sixty days ago the Business Mems League of Decatur appointed . committee to investigate. The report was very satisfactory and met with the approval of the. ma jority. The Decatur News has come out in very strong editorial favoring the movement. This week The New Decatur Advertiser is interviewing the business men on the question.
