A CLEAR CASE.

was welcomed by a gracious hostess,
who informed him that the MONDAY

moment Lewis BROMLEY came up the
steps, wearing long face, which
shortened visibly at sight OF his father.
They were Immediately ushered into
an attractive dining room, where, as
the meal progressed, Doctor BROMLEY
grew more and more puzzled. After

An Obsolete Type
of Democracy.

In q recent issue the good old
Montgomery Advertiser undertakes
to reply to certain criticisms recent.
ly made upon its undemocratic policy
in these columns.
The Advertiser takes 1t upon itself
to say that we have either misun
derstood or misstated its position. AS
a matter of fact. we have done
neither. and our Montgomery contem.
porary will find 1t much easier to
make these statements than to sub,
stantiate them.
Sometime ago the Montgomery AID.
vertiser had the colossal nerve to
deny "the moral right OF any class
to organize themselves together for
purely political purposes"
That Is a fair statement Of the
case, and upon that ground We cheer
fully challenge our undemocratic con
temporary to all the controversy il
wants.
We take the ground that this Is a
government Of majorities, and that
the vast majority Of our people are
farmers and wage-earners.
II these people-if this majority is

govern, themselves, or the minority.

so ably represented by the Montgom

so ably represented by the Montgom-
cry Advertiser?
The answer lies upon the surface.
II majority government is to do moth
ing worth doing for that majority,
we may as we'll have a government
by the minority, and be done with it.
We take the ground that the pur-
pose Of popular government is to pro-
duce popular results, and that any
government that gives rise to results
that are not popular, cannot justly
be termed Democratic. .....
Such thinly-coated Democratic
papers as the Montgomery Advertiser
would have Democratic theories stop
short of naturalization at the polls.
That is where we differ; for We count
that Democracy as naught that dare
not look in the face the logical result
of its theories.
The trouble with papers of the AID
vertiser stamp Is that their Democ,
racy is purely theoretical. and thai
they are invariably thrown into con
WILSON'S by any proposition to organ
lie the majority against the rotten
minority that to-day deals out legis
lation and morals for a people who
have yet to learn their power.

An Opinion That Will
Bear Examination.

one OF the most notable addresses
made at the recent session OF the
American Bankers Association in St
Louis was that delivered by Mrs. "
p Church, the cashier of a banking
institution in Joplin, Mo.
Aside from the rather unique posi-
ton occupied by this thoroughly up
to-date woman of affairs, her address
is worthy of attention here because
of specious fallacy that cannot toe
often be exploded.
In the course of her remarks this
business woman is quoted to the fol
lowing effect:
I'VE cannot all be bright, we can
not all be wise and sagaciouS; but We
all can, il we will, be faithful; and to
be faithful in the performance of the
duties imposed upon bank official is
one of the qualifications absolutely es
sehtial. and surely no one will deny II
that of all the publications. of a wo
man that of faithfulness Is her high
est and best"
Nothing can be more fallacious-
nothing more dangerous-than the
supposition that the same law of ma
ture that applies to intellectual quail
ties does not apply to moral.
1t is true, as this lady says, thai
I'VE cannot all be bright" but why
should she, in the next breath, &c
on and declare that we can all, "ii
We will, be Faithful"
We all recognize the fact that mer
differ Intellectually, and nobody
blames them for it. Why, then, should
man be held accountable for any
moral inferiority?
We fear this worlds stock of hum
bug is practically inexhaustible.

THE WIND.

Sweep on, Oh, wind! thy course still keep,
Through street and narrow lane:
And pour the fountains Of the deep
Upon the earth again.
Relentless as the hand of Fate,
Remorseless as the grave,
Thy breath shall teach us, all too late,
That man is but slave.
And all the ages yet shall rear,
And all that Time hath known,
Shall melt away and disappear
When thou art on thy throne.
For Natures god no pity owns,
His power is supreme.
And man and all his tinsel thrones
Are but passing dream.
The Rialto is not so gay, after all,
this week. The hand of Fate has
been laid heavily upon the town Of
late, and ruin, wreck and vain regrets
are ours, too.

PENSACOLA PHILOSOPHY.
BY Sam 3. Russ.

An epicure is a glutton whom only
the govt can cure.
To save your roll in politics, roll
your barrel to the rear.
No crank can ever work the politi-
cal machine.
Men who stay out late nights, must
expect their wives to expostulate.
The fewer your friends the fewer
your disappointments
1t is sometimes easier to underrate
man than to understand him.
The trouble with the ladder of fame
is that some of the rounds are too
far apart.
Candor is often nothing more than
the disguise assumed by meanness
when in good society.
The people who most need philos
ophy in this world are generally those
who never have any.
Every lane may have turning, but
it sometimes turns the wrong way all
the same.
The art of holding ones tongue de
serves to be numbered among the fine
arts
