A MIx-uP.


 About the worst mix-up we have read of is thus described by The Chica- go Chronicle:
 noisy Chicago stunning party ss- corted by a policeman was put under. arrest on Michigan avenue at a. m. Joy another policeman. When pql4oeflian No started in the carriage @for the lating crowd, inclnding policeman No, l: devil wagoW going at the rate of sixty miles an hour smashed into the vehicle and mixed things up very em- pbaticaHy. If a third policeman could have apprehended the automobiles there would have been a fine process sion toward the armory. It is society life in the western metropolis so gay and festive as to excite the wonder of jealous rivals-
 We frequently read of 'slummine parties" coming to grief and cannot get up much sympathy for them. Good people often visit the slums of our great cities for the purpose of aiding the unfortunates. morally and physical Iy. and no doubt they do much good by their labors. Too often these slum- ming parties. as they are called, go for ah CAlAiC1J uAACkVhb PNi PCoC- ACtA VO- feet is to satisfy low curiosity by visi- ting the vilest dens of the most de- prayed citizens of the most lawless reg lens. Sometimes these parties are com posed of people who are little better behaved than those they visit, and it Is more than likely that policeman No, 2 in this case did his duty in arresting the boisterous summers and the police man with them. The only hitch in this case, as The Chronicle intimatas, is that the reckless autoist was not taken with the balance. If he and all the summers could have been hauled be- fore some court and all of them Iiber- ally fined the lesson would have been a good one and the effect would prob ably have been salutary. The slum- mers deserved punishment for breaking the peace and :he autoist still severer punishment for reckless driving. It was nice tangle, as 1t was

SIDEWALK PENClLINGS
Favers CompuIsorx Education.


 Mrs. Martha Gielow did good thing for the cause of education among the illlterate white people of this section when she came to the women of the South for help said one of Montgom- ery.s broad minded and philan thropic within sight of the State Capitol. It is with sight of the State Capitol It is here that plans of campaign for the remedy should begin, and the women of the South have never been slow to adopt a good cause, and better still to work for a cause when once adop- ted.
 The women Of Alabama win get to- gether on this proposition of estab- fishing schools for the children of re- mote and isolated districts, and sooner or later they will accomplish their oh- ject, but the question arises in my mind what Is to be done about getting the parents to send their children to the schools after they are established?
 Tt seems to me that the greatest ob- stacle that is to be overcome in this educational problems is the utter indif- ference of parents.
 School statistics show a wide mar gin between the number of children of school age In this State and the number of pupils attending schools. This should not be, and now while the sub ject is being agitated, it seems an op- for we know that chain is only as strong as is its weakest link. Reasoning along this line one cannot but con- clude that unless something is done to force parents to do their duty to their children In the matter of education this labor of love will be without fruition and the last estate will be as bad as the first
 that should be taken up by the State Legislature and some provision be made to compel parents to send their chill dren of certain ages to school"

 They mad when they came here the old Idea of Montgomery which might have been true a quarter of a century ago, that it was conservative and slow. They were hardly prepared for the great evidence of thrift and energy expecting the aggressive progress of the city which Is so plain to every one, They were agreeably surprised at all they saw and they went away praising

Council md Finances.

"The City Council certainly believes in spending money" said a public spirited citizen yesterday. The prob lem as I see 1t is will the finances of the city stand such a drain. l know the aldermen are sincere in their ap- propriations and no doubt every ap- propriation has been duly consider ed.
 'If I am correctly informed, there is but $9.O00 now on hand In the city treasury as compared with $7o,Oo0 at the same time last year. Of course do not infer that this Council has spent $61.0O0 more than was spent last year. because $35.000 of the money ex- pended was borrowed by the city be- fore this fiscal year began. Exclusive of this. therefore, this Council has spent about $26,000 more than the former at the same time. But. in this expendi- ture. also comes the new system of fire insurance which involved an outlay of about $S.00O more money but which will eventually net the city a large saving.
 All things considered then. the Council has gone approximately S1S,OO0 ahead of last year. Will the treasury stand it?'

next day at Ripley, n, 40 head
sold for an average Of 1888. so, over
half of the offering going above
800. But it remained for the
last sale of the circuit to cap the
climax with an average of $1,000
on 80 head This was a record
breaker. One very SNOWY yearlin
brought $1,000. The four hlghc

THE MESSAGE
THURSDAY, FEB. ID, 1906.
A WORKING CONGRESSMAN.

Congressman Champ Clark has
passed a special bill thru Congress
in record breaking time to
give Mr.. Joe Price of Mexico Il
pension of $50 per month.
Audrain county has frequent oc-
casion to observe that the Con
gresham from this district is saw
ing wood. 1t was he who secured
free rural mail service for the
whole of Audraiu, so that every
farmer in the county can get daily
mail without having to go to town
for it. He has done the same for
Pike. st. Charles aud Galloway.
For several years he has been
steadily working to spread the ru-
raj delivery system all over the ten
counties of his district and this
desired condition is in sight. The
Postofiice Department is steadily
at work on it and a few months
will see the task completed. 1t will
take nearly 200 carriers to deliver
the mail; thcI will receive some
thing like 5000 annual pay, on the
average, SO we see that this will
bring about $12O, 900 of good new
money into the district each year.
These are some of the thugs a
Congressman can accomplish for
his district after he has learned
the ropes" during a few years of
hard work in Washington. And
the members of the opposing party
in the district of one of these old
war horses reap the benefits of his
work almost as largely as his own
party followers. Those who have
observed the trend of things in
Washington know that Congress
man who has spent ten or fifteen
years in the Capitol can do more
for his district than half II dOzer
kindergarten statesman, M
matter how much native abilit!
they may have. Everybody il
Washington bows before the MAJ
who seems to have come to stay.
These people can't help smypathiz
ing with those poor chumps in TIN
Athens, Ohio, district who are try
ing to make General GrosyenOr re
tire and give place to Il new man
AS the General is the toughest de
batter aud the hardest worker ol
the Republican side, the chance
are that they will not be able t
find a man in the district who can
even in ten years from now, d
one fourth as much for his peOpl
as General GrOsvenOr can do afte
his twenty years of labor there.
