after the announcement of the war. He said that cotton dropped because those markets. were closed on account of the war.
 Captain Hobson said he stood for eternal peace on earth, and that he thought the only way to have this peace was to have Il large enough navy to make the power of the United States felt beyond the sea. He said that lie was a disciple of peace because he had seen war and knew it's horrors He stated that Mir Bankhead had said that he GIobson) favored war and wanted war, but that this was not true He added that MT. Bankhead had voted against the bill providing for the hattleships of the oregon class and that it was an error of judgment. He said that MT. Bankhead was not capable of grasp ing the international policies and taking T broad view Of them. He did not critlcise MT. Bankhead for this. but thought It was only his lack of ability to grasp such big situations. He said that if 1t had not been for the three battleships of the Ore gon class the United States might have been humiliated bv Spain, as all the world expected she would be.
 Captain Hobson further stated that the United States was cut out to be the arbi- trator of international questions and that she should increase her navy and stand ing abroad, that she could occupy this position.
 Been All Over World
 In conclusion, Captain Hobson said that he thought he was well equipped to repre- sent the district in Congress, as he had been to all parts of the world, had studied situations in every part of the globe. and especially in China and Japan. which tho word recognized as the great markets. and that he was capable of grasplng the situations which had arisen and which might arise in the future. He said that he believed he could be of great aid in Congress in the matter of securing the proper naval power. as he was an expert in this particular line.
 He said that the other candidate had said that he was not a citizen of Ala. bama. and he wished that MT. Bankhead fad specified in what state he was a citizen. He had left the navy and come straight to Alabama. his native home and that the only place in the world where he had spent one whole week in the past five years was in Alabama

What LiquozOne Is

The virtues of Liquozone are de- rived solely from gases, by process requiring large apparatus, and from 8 to IA days time. No alcohol, no narcotics are in it. Chemists of the highest class direct the making The result is to obtain from these harm less gases a powerful tonic-germicide.
 The great value of Liquozone lies in the fact that it is deadly to germs, yet harmless to you. Germs are of veg etable origin; and this gas-made prod uct. when absorbed by them, stops their activities. We publish an offer of s1 900 for a disease germ that it cannot kill But to the body Liquo- zone is exhilarating. yitalizing purify ing. It is helpful in the extreme.
 That is it's main distinction. Com mon germicides are poisons when taken internally. That Is why medi- cine proves so nearly helpless in a germ disease. Liquozone is tonic.

 Lawyers learn early that if they wish to succeed they must stand in with the railroads and the rings which they con trol. The young men who ought to be the leaders of the people arc retained by the railroads in one manner or another with many noble exceptions, and | want .o emphasize that statement of many noble exceptions, for if 1 do not they will mis- quote me.
 When l made up my mind to make the race to represent the people in Congress l went to q prominent man in one of the counties in my district. friend of my father and of myself, with the intention of asking him to be my manager. | told him l knew little of politics and wanted information. He told me that if I wanted to be elected to succeed MT Bankhead to get on the train and go to New York and see Samuel Spencer of the Southern and on the way back to stop and see Vice President Andrews of the Southern rail- way, and that if they wanted me to be elected l need not pay any attention to the counties in the district He also said that there would be no trouble about the election, and that I would not have any opposition. The railroads sent $30,OO0 to this district to defeat me last time l ran,. and understand that large express pack ages of money are arriving now. They will not give up without light, for they get from you between $7OO0.000 and s. 000.o00 annually above the legitimate prof its.
 Have Publicity Bureau.
 "The railroads have the money to hire theives to steal the votes and money with to pay the attorneys to defend the thieves. The corporation has no soul and is not accountable to any higher power, therefore has no place in politics.
 ''The railroads have a publicity bureau to cover the country with literature. The railroads passed the Hepburn bill in tho House, preferrng to fight it in the Sen ate.
 "Mr. Bankhead is held by the railroad environment hand and foot. You need a change and you must have one What l ask is a trial. l do not know whether I am the man or not. but the manner in which the railroad interests trying to keep me from getting to Washington leads me to believe that I must be the right man.
 Refers to Cotton Situation.
 Captain Hobson then referred to the cotton situation, saying that the south was the natural home of the cotton plant and that the markets of the world must be kept open to the excess of production of this country as 1t must have market. He said that China and Japan would con sume immense amounts of the south s cotton as soon as they became awakened, and that the country must be in position to preserve peace in the world in order to keep those markets and others open. The speaker said that the Spanish -Amer- can war would never have taken place if the country had had larger navy, and that the building of the three batteships of the oregon class had prevented Ger many from taking Spain's part in the fight. He further said that if the United States had had larger navy the Russian Japanese war would never have taken place, and that cotton would. therefore, never have dropped like it did the day

Germ Diseases.

Most of our sickness has, in late years. been traced to germ attacks. The list of known germ diseases now numbers about one hundred.
 Some germs-as in skin troubles directly attack the tissues. Some ere ate toxins. causing such troubles as Rheumatism, Blood Poison, Kidney Disease and Nerve Weakness. Some destroy vital organs, as in Consump- tion. Some-like the germs of Ca tarrh-create inflammation; some cause indigestion. Directly or indi- fectly, nearly every serious ailment Is a germ result. Such diseases call for Liquozone-not drugs, which cant kill germs.
 Every germ attack, no matter what it's simptoms. calls for a germicide. The mildness of LiQuozone makes

when the manufacturers of the country established the high tariff, forcing peo- pie in the United States to pay more for goods than people in foreign countries have to pay for the same articles. He gave several illustrations. saying that in foreign countries sewing machines lamps, nails, hammers and many other articles could be bought much cheaper than in the United States He said that this was the tax levied by the corporate inter- ests on the people. He said another of the taxes paid by the people was on some public utility which the moneyed powers controlled.
 Urges Change of Regime.
 Captain Hobson urged the people to change the regime at Washington saying that the present one had been in power too long He urged that honest men be sent to the national capital and men who could be trusted. He added that he thought he could be trusted. as he had held positions of trust all his life, great and small, and had never failed 10 be worthy of one. He spoke of the moneyed powers as the most awful tyrants the world had ever seen, and said that if he was sent to Washington he would fight them until he whipped them.
 "The most acute form of the tyranny i5 the railroads" said the speaker, land Alabama suffers from this particular form more than any other state In the union. It is cheaper to send cotton to the ports of New York and Boston by rail than from Montgomery to Mobile, where water can be reached The railroads make a lower rate to the big man and the big company than to the small shipper, the one who needs 1t most. As an illustration Alabama should be q great truck farm ing state. but rates prevent it. We should supply Birmingham. Atlanta, Memphis and other cities with all the vegetables they consume but the rates are so ar ranged that these products can be ship ped from the central and western states to Birmingham cheaper than from points in Alabama to Birmingham.
 "The climax of tyranny is that the rail- roads have no respect for the sovereign states and discriminate against them They have no respect for Alabama For instance the railroad commissions In the other states have the power to compel low rates The same amount of fertilizer can be shipped to some point in Mis- sissippi for si and 1t costs the Alabama farmer g. We spend $4,o0O.ooO more an nually for hauling the same thing than Georgia"
 Speaker Is Interrupted.
 At this juncture Gus Pierce interrupted the speaker and said that he was a Bank head man. but he wanted to confirm what MT Hobson said about the rates Con tinuing MT. Hobson said;
 Guess why this is so. It is because the railroads have control of our politics. laws and government. The railroad com mission has no power, and If you go to Montgomery to get some measure passed which will bring you relief, you have to go LID against the trained lobbyist of the railroads. You had better win this time. Elect not only the railroad commission but the governor, state attorney, treas urer legislature and the senate, but do not stop there. If you get a law made to give you relief they will get out an injunction and have the ease thrown out

Discusses Non-Registration.

Regarding the matter of registration Captain Hobson said that his name was not on the books at Greensboro, but that 1t was a mere technical matter He hoped that it was written on the book above, and said that it would be only a few days before it was written on the book in his district. He explained that he was away responding to call from the national campaign committee when the books were closed and that 1t did not in any way prevent his being a cit- izen of Alabama or his county. He said that the bill closing the/ registration books at a certain time was introduced Into the legislature by J. H. Ban-Aead. Jr.. and that it had robbed 1000 young men from voting fin the Sixth district as they became 21 years of age after the books were closed, but before the election He said that only two people had challenged him for not registering. one of, whom was Alb TFimbs negro lawyer, and the other was ]. H. Bank head.
 Captain Hobson said he was attending to his duty as he saw 1t at the time, speaking in the doubtful states in the north, and that he considered duty the greatest word in the English lan- guage. He referred to having attended the same school as Lee and Jackson. and said he agreed with the former, who said that duty was the greatest word in the lan- guage.
 The speaker then took up the issues Of the campaign. saying that he considered the supreme issue liberty, self-gov- ernment and free institutions in the face of the money powers. He said that the corporate bodies were usurping the pow CTS of the parent government-the right to tax the people. He said one form of taxation by the moneyed mowers was

Negro Question.

Another thing. They say that I wish the negro and the white people to mix and have white teachers in negro schools. I do not want any such thing. l have been in countries where the people are mixing with the aborigines and it has proven fatal It will always prove fatal and l have never even thought of any such thing as far as the negroes were concerned. I do say, however. that we should care for the weak, and educate the negro as the strong always has to take care of the weak. as the superior race must do for the inferior race.
 aIf I were ever sent to Washington I am certain I would not vote as Mir. Bank head did to give 25,000 acres of public land, r, GOO acres of which were right here in Walker county, to Booker T. Wash ington for the education of the negro. There are too many white children in Alabama to be educated"

LESSON TAUGHT BY
THE GILLETTE CASE

The story of human passion and
weakness. of mans moral depravlty
and woman's hopeless despair, as told
in the testimony and evidence OF
the Gillette murder trial at Herkimer,
y. Y makes depressing reading. The
case itself. whether murder was real
ly committed or not, is sad enough;
what adds to the horror Of IL is our
fun realization that the cause of Ches
ter Gillettss and Grace Brown, so
far as its main features are concern
cd. is merely one of thousands. We
have known and. perhaps. now know
of many similar cases. Their finale
not always the same: il is not al
ways death. often worse than that.
But the scenario of the first three
acts of these human tragedies is prac-
ticaIlv the same in every instance.
The only difference Is in the scene of
the action. the names of the personao'
dramatls and in some of the detail.
The first act brings the awakening
of passion. the second act blissiui
drifting in a dream of happiness with
out a thought Of tomorrow, the third
act the cruel awakening from loves
dream. sober realization of the truth
and rcmorse. Such was the story OF
Mabel Page such the story OF Grace
Brown and thousands of others, and
such will be the story Of countless
other girls. unless watchful parents
and a kind Providence interfere In
their behalf
And we. the spectators Of these
tragedies, sit and watch the develop
ment of the case to the inevitable.
terrible finale of the last act. but our
hands remain helplessly folded; we
recognize our impotency to stay the
hand of fate to ward off the newt
able doom.
But. is II true that nothing can be
done to diminish the number of such
tragedies? No. it is not. Cases like
that of Mabel Page and Grace Brown
and depressing as they are, teach us
a lesson of duty in the matter.
Clearly and emphatically the evil
dence in this case as in every similar
case. points to the fact that it is the
lack of proper home training, the ne
glect of parents carefully to guide
and direct the physical and moral de-
velopment of their children and to
guard them against dangerous and
corrupting influences that make so
many girls as easy prey of unscrupu-
lous scoundSels, devoid of self-re-
straint and ever ready to take advant-
age of the weakness of the other sex,
Let those who have children of
their own profit from the warning and
give to their children, while their
minds are yet plastic. their charac-
ters vet uniformed, all the loving care
in their power, let them surround
their children, while they grow to ma
turity. with pure and wholesome in
fiuences, with an atmosphere of clean
and uncorrupted home life that will
cling to them all through the years
of manhood and womanhood, forming
an impenettrable shield against evil
