calling the convention TO order explained
the object of the gathering to be to pre-
vent the coming to the South Of the
pau DER and criminal classes of Europe,

northwest; also to provide for uoilprm
legislation BY the southern States, which
should have the approval Of Congress,
aud thus have the force Of constitutional
law, so that a citizen going to any part
of the South in lines of epidemic should
know exactly what conditions he would
meet.
Regarding the subject Of immigra-
ton, Governor Vardaman, of Mississip-
pi, said;
"No country ever needed h0memak-
ing, homecoming white citizens more
than the southern States today. Negro
labor, which hitherto has performed the
work in our cotton and cane fields, ID
becoming absolutely worthless. Its
place must be filed. | would rather
wait, let our fields lie idle for a time,
than to fill up our land with men who
are not capable of understanding our in,
stitutions, who cannot be assimilated
and absorbed into cur citigenghip."

Alimony from Man She Remarries.

A decision rendered in Richmond in the
United States Circuit Court Of Appeals con-
Germs the remarrisge Of two prominent Viz
ginia people. Mrs. Ralph Savage recently
secured divorce from her husband, and was
allowed TO resume her maiden name and was
awarded alimony of 800 a year. The diff
ferences which caused the divorce finally
were forgotten and the pair were remsrried.
The husband then became bankrupt and his
creditors endeavored TO secure the property
held by his wife for the payment Of alimony.
The agreement Of the husband was, how
ever, for the payment Of 500 year for life.
and the remarked wife's claim was secured
by the trust dee,l. The court held that her
claim was good and the effort Of the contest
ing creditors came to nothing.

The Law and the Man

Three weeks after the death of Capt. F. Norton God
dard the policy shops of New York wide open. For
three years Capt Goddard president of the ANTHOLOGY
League had kept them closed with hand of steel
Policy is in violation of the laws of New York. But for
years fourished undsturbed by the police AL Adams
its king and it made him millions Powerful influences
in favor of it. You can't suppress policy' said the
limp authorities
Then Capt Goddard private citizen elected pres
ident Of the Anthology league He knew did the police
and the district attorney that policy playing forbid
den by law But he knew ALSO they did not that Law
powerful than any organization Of awbrealers if it
only be rightly asserted.
Capt Goddard proceeded to enforce the law that the
people of New York had made for their protection and
which the authorities had neglected. The compacen say
ing you can't suppress policy he turned into the vgor
declaration you can't suppress the law
He drove policy playing out of New York. He forced
the who had conducted these shops publicly
the that the police would not interfere to take
to hidden back He sent of them to jail drove
the rest of business smashed the policy system and
sent its king AL Adams to the pententiary. For three
years the law stronger than policy
It because there was NINA behind the law.
THE MAN is the thing
Law is but helpless, mucous expression Of pnb|ic Will
until MAN turns it into an irresistible weapon.
The mere existence of law does its purpose 1t
is like rsng away at the root of tree waiting for
a MAN to come forward to WELD it.
