hours before boarding the train for Mont

Property Changes.
The properties of the Montgomery Trac-
ton company have been turned over to
the new owners, after an order had been
issued discharging the receiver. 1t was

dent. These new officials assumed charge
at once. succeeding Maj. e. e. Winters
and j. w. Holiday Major Winters had
served as general manager for quite a
long time. and as receiver since February
25 last. 1t is understood that b. S.
Maultsby is to remain as auditor.
1t is expected that this will mean the
Improvement in many ways OF the Trac-
ton company lines. The new company
is composed of Philadelphia capitalists
who have the money and the disposition
to enlarge the scope of the properties in
many ways. A lot of new cars have been
ordered and several new lines of track
are in contemplation. r. ID. Apperson of
owners of the stock has been made pres
ident of the company, and Charles Miller

Stove Foundry. Gadsden, is in the city
today and spent some time at the capitol

intendent of education. He has just re-
turned from a trip through Texas In
the opinion of Mr.. Agricola Gadsden is
destined to be one of the greatest towns
of the state. 1t is forging ahead and
building new industries every day. Its
advantages of water transportation are
such that it can gather material from
every direction and get out by rail and

NICE

How nice it is to live in a
strong Republican community under
a Democratic administration. You
always feel like things are secure and
public matters are being looked
after about right. 1t makes the
good Republican worker who sup
ported a Democratic mayor last
spring feel good to see practically all
the good city appointments go to
good Democratic brethren.
The appointment of Pink Burris
to the important position of as
SCISSOR finishes out the work in
good shape. Pink is good Demo
crat of the working kind and had
10 be looked after,
We do not blame the Democratic
mayor for taking care of his Demo
cratic friends, neither have we
much sympathy for the Republicans
who opposed a party nomination.
We are of the opinion that the Re-
publicans of the city are thoroughly
cured and that hereafter we will
have party nominations and thai

cratic mayor for several years.

THE PARENTS DUTY

In his admirable address to the
teachers yesterday, Superintendent
Greenwood makes a point which
might well be taken to heart by
most parents. 1t is this:
Internationally, there is the
highest kind of presumptive evil
dence that twenty children are in
jured at home, spoiled by over
indulgence, tickle management, to
one that is injured in school. The
most pernicious consequences flow
from cvcr-indu!gence of childen at
home, under the mistaken idea that
a child may shirk or evade duties
and responsibilities and then get
along we'll later in the business
world. Whenever the family
government is weak or unsteady the
child, whether boy or girl, never
amounts to anything. The child
must be taught obedience, truthful
ness, industry, honesty, self-control,
and how to work and stick to task
till it is finished. Children should
be started right at the beginning
and kept right all the time, if the
manly virtues are to be developed. !"
This is so obiously true that it
reads like a platitude, but at the
same time it cannot be impressed
too often upon the minds ofparents.
One of the chief functions Of the
public school system in its modern
development is character-buildlng,
and yet too often the teachers pa
ticnt efforts in tha d rection areneut-
rallied and set at naughty the
terence or ignorance of tneparents al
ihoma. The child comes home and
complains of the severe tasks set fol
it at school, or of some disciplinary
! method which is not practiced al
home. and the over-indulgent parent
sympathizes with the young com'
plainant and often RENTS the TASK
or everrules the teacher. The con
sequence is that the lesson sough
to be inculcated is wasted and TIT
child's character is struck blow
from which it never RECEIVERS.
Lacking the parental authority
and the innate respect that children
feel for their parents, the teacher!
ability to command the obedienc;
of child is necessarily less thai
the parents, and without the co
operation of the latter it amounts to
little or nothing outside of the les
sons to be learned in books. Blu
the lessons the child should learr
looking to the formation of its char
acter are not set down in books
Truthfulness, honesty, patience
obedience, perseverance, self con
trol-these are more important thai
all the book learning in the world
and these things are part of thu
curriculum of the modern public
; school. Kansas City Journal.

THE CITY PRINTING

1t has never been our policy to
but in On the little scraps INDUCED
in by our dailies. We have enough
troubles of our own. And especi-
ally on This city printing have we
been quiet and allowed the dailles,
since they saw fit several years back
to do the work at less than legit-
mate profit, to scrap it out.
Now, however, since these papers,
of their own accord, have been do
ing the work at very low rate and
are willing and anxious to continue;
and the council asked for bids on
the work for the current year and
then saw fit to give it to one of the
papers, without reference to the
bids and gave it to the highest bid
der of the three, it is time for the
tax payers of the city to understand
the matter and know just what kind
of llmham game is beng worked.
Not as a newspaper man but as a
taxpayer of the city we protest
against any such procedure. We
do not think for a minute that the
paper to which the contract was
awarded is to get any too much fol-
the work, but since each of the
other dailies seemed willing and
anxious to have the work for less
money, and felt that the prestige Of

being city printer would rccompense
them. by what reasoning docs the
council reach the conclusion that
the highest bidder should have the
job.
We fail to see why, after calling
for bids, the contract should be as
signed to the paper making the
highest BID. VIII some member Of
the council please explain? We
will be glad TO publish the explana-
ton.
The tax payers are called upon to
put up some $500 extra, the next
two years, on printing alone, all
apparently to pay political debt.

1T WILL PAY

We have noticed disposition
among great many men, in fact
the principal seems to be pretty
general, TO be little easy in their
morals when the public or corpor-
ate interests are at stake.
A man may be ever so honest in
his deals with his neighbors and in
general business but when it comes
to serving the public or dealing with
corporations his ideas of right and
honesty seem to suffer modiica-
ton.
1t does not seem wrong to work
the city for-a little free gas or beat
the railroads out of a ride. The
employee of a corporation will
destroy and waste the property Of
his employer ruthlessly without
thinking of the wrong he is doing,
when he would scorn to do dis
honest thing to private individual.
Somehow we seem to have i'm
bibed the idea that the municipality
and corporation are against the in
dividual and what would be absolute
dishonesty toward private party is
strictly just toward a corporation.
1t seems our public morals are be
coming somewhat corrupted, No
wonder there is being so much fraud
and graft detected in the manage
ment of public affairs when, as a
people, we are cultivating the idea
that corporations and municipal
bodies have no property rights we
are bound to respect.
We seem to be losing sight of
this little matter of right and wrong.
An act is right or wrong towards a
corporation or syndicate the same
as towards an individual. 1t is
Just as dlshonorable to beat cor
poration as an individual.
The great principal of right and
honesty and regard for property in
tarests should be deeply instilled in
every heart, and all acts measured
by the rights of others. When our
young boys are thoroughly imbued
with the idea of the rights of others
and strict honesty in all things,
public graft and dishonesty in Office
and public affairs will soon cease.
The home life and in the early
days is the time when the most last
ting impressions are made. If par
ents and teachers would be more
| awake to this idea of character
building and spend more force in
impressing upon the minds of the
Young the great principles of right
in all things and at all times, we
would grow up generation of boys
and girls that would be credit te
the age and greatly advance the
worlds morality.
A little grammer and little
| arithmetic ana some music ant
drawing, ect., are very nice anc
quite essential, but of how Infinitely
more important is The character Of
the youth. These accomplishment
without character are only means
for evil True nobility of char
acter in the young person, opens
the door to success. The demand
in public life and places of trust il
great for men and women who car
be trusted at all times and under
all circumstances to do right. l.

wish for him or her the creates

the principle of honesty is deeply
ins:illed, and add as many accom-
plishments and as much culture a.
