ocratic leader will do the party service if he recommends Mr. Taylor to that position.
 The important thing to do is to SC, cure the selection of an Alabama mem Der to fill Mr. sBankhead's place, and this cannot be done unless the Ala bama members unite in favor of one aspirant. We cannot afford to divide our strength over this proposition. Ala bama is the chief river state of the country and it deserves a representa- tive on the rivers and harbors commit tee, and she will get one if all will pull together in favor of one man. George w. Taylor is the choice of the coast and river district, and of the districts on the upper stretches of the Warrior. Let us hope the rest of the state will also favor his appointment to a place on the rivers and harbors committee.

LID IN BIRMINGHAM.

From the Gadsden Journal.
 The Mayor and Police Commission Of Birmingham are both claiming the power of controlling the police in their work of executing the peace laws The Mayor seems to have the upper hand at present, and is not only issuing orders but sees to 1t that they are obeyed. Just what the commission is going to do about it has not been given out nor does 1t appear to outsiders just why it should want to assume the responsibility of seeing that the law is enforced. We believe the Magic City has a good executive with plenty of nerve and back bone and it is to be hoped that all efforts at interference with his programme to make the sa- looms obey the lws of the state will be thwarted. For the good of the city the Mayor should have the undivided sup port of all citizens who believe in having the laws enforced

PETTUS, YOUTH,

From the Washington Times.
 Thinking of my boyhood days" said Senator Pettus, reminds me of the time began calling my wife sweetheart. It also reminds me of the days that be- gan the only vices that l ever cultivated One vice is carrying red bandana hand kerchief. The other is playing poker. l cultivated the bandana handkerchief vice because in my boyhood days a white handkerchief or a linen handkerchief was novelty and luxury. l was poor boy I could buy three red ones for the price Of a little white one. Being scrupulously averse to contracting obligations, l cuti- vated the vice of carrying red hand kerchief. It has stuck to me. I don't regret 1t. The poker vice is my pastime.
 'It has been a long time since my boy hood days-7O years. I don't recall any thing extraordinarily interesting that hap pened in the days when I was between 10 and b years. I went to school as all other boys did in the winter. l played in the summer as other boys did. I went courting girls as other boys did, but there was one thing I did that other boys
 
 vated a love for flowers.
 Early I took a liking for military life I was captain, major and colonel of my home regiment. I suppose other boys do that same thing now. It is a sport that is wholesome; still, it is a profession that we all should make something of. It is training for both mind and body that boys of today do not appreciate as they did sixty-five and seventy years ago. But then, time changes. and l presume that the environments of young men change with it. The most interesting incident or my younger days was the ride in lS49 on horseback with a company of forty other Alabamians from Gainesville, Ala to California. That ride toughened the fiber in my physique, and is feat that not many boys of today could accomplish.

"SO KIND YOU ARE"

By Witter Bynner, in McClure's Maga-
 zine 1May)
 You have an eye more warmly brown Than autumn days away from town, But will not let me speak my mind So kind you are and so unkind You have voice with all the moods Of twilights and of solitudes, But light to leave me as the wind So. kind you are and so unknd. You have wherever I may be, trick of prosecuting me, Tho out of sight. not out of mind, So kind you are and so unkind. The way would seem not half so soon To reach your heart as reach the moon, Yet it's a way I'll surely find.- So kind you are and so unksnd.

Georqe w. TayIor's Promotion.

From the sea to the head of the Warrior at least there is demand that George w. Taylor be made in the Six tieth Congress a member of the rivers and harbors committee. He is not the ranking democratic member of the ap- propriations committee, and MT. Taylor can well afford to leave the appropria- tions committee. if need be, to take a place that will enable him to open, first, the Warrior, and then the Ala bama and the Coosa, while he aids the opening of the Tennessee river. The coast has been heard from, for the Mobile Register says:
 The retirement of Hon. John IF Bank head will leave vacancy in the House will be filled by the appointment of some democrat. Alabama. by reason of the great water courses of this state and the in portant harbor of Mobile should be represented on that committee. and not by an interior district man. but by the repre- sentative of the coast and river district namely. by MT. George w. Taylor now representing the First Alabama district in Congress. MT. Taylor stands well up in the appropriations committee. one of the two most important committees of the House. He Is the leading democrat save one on that committee. He has made a good reputation for active committee ser vice, and is known as one Of the best workers in the House.

KZ11 lfE Tn little town is delight

 - derer. 'sThe conventions of so ciety while more rigidly observed in some respects, do not harass a mans soul so consistently and he breathes more freely than he can in the crowded marts of cities. People there are delightfully."- m sophisticated, free from false pride and serenely indifferent to appearances. This fact was impressed upon me in an Ala bama town Sunday afternoon. A gray haired gentleman, evidently citizen of long standing, had removed one shoe and sock. He sat on one end of the 'deepo' colored brother who was engaged in scraping off with a pocket knife a cuta- neous growth which the owner deemed superf1uous. The amateur chiropodist and his patient were both intent on the busi- ness in hand, so that neither observed the smiles of several travelling men, In a city eallous policeman would have interrupted this brotherly office by driv- ing the good Samaritan off and reprov- ing the white man, but in this little town the constable was prepared to offer his sympathy if not the use of his Barlow"
