Labor Centract Decision.

The last legislature passed an act winch provided that "a person who en- ters into a written contract for the per formance of work or services and ob- tains money or other personal property and without just cause and with intent to defraud, and without refunding the money or paying for the property, is as guilty as if he had stolen it, and the contract to perform or carry out such contract or refund the money or pay for the property without just cause, shall be prima facie evidence of the intent to injure or defraud."
 This act turns breach of contract into a criminal offense, and the su. prsms court of Alabama upholds it's constisuGionelily How far this de- clsiun viii reach remains to be seen. It cannot Se confined to the negro job jumper, for it fits all classes of em- ployment, and it may even become of use in purchases on the installment plan. When breach of civil con tract can be turned into larceny the field of opportunity becomes wide and far-reaching.
 There is one limitation, however, it would not be wise to disregard and that Is the federal statute directed against peonage. The supreme court of the United States has upheld the peonage statute. and just where the two will conflict remains to be seen. but 1t is certain that soon or late the Alabama contract statute will get up against the federal peonage law, and then the former will have to back out. The drawing of the line between the two is a matter of the future ard the courts will have to be skillful if they make both stand complete.

"TlMEr FOR ALICE,

From the New York Press
 In place of that one-time popular song. "A Kiss for Each Day in the Week" Miss Alice Roosevelt might sing parody with the refrain, "A Cock for Each Hour of the Day. From the way in which time tellers have figured in ner wedding gifts, it would seem joking friends wish to hint she Is a laggard who needs constant re- minders of the flight of the minutes. She has received ten jeweled watches and about four dozen clocks. The latter gifts represent almost every variety ~of time piece, from d pretty little carved wood affair of Swiss make to a French clock of gold, surrounded by diamonds, the gift of the French ambassador and Mme. Jusserand. Miss Roosevelt will enjoy the pleasure of being able to change her watch to suit almost every toilet. There is a watch of green enamel, with emer- aids as a centerpiece, watch of blue. with sapphres and diamonds, and one dainty little affair of turquoise and pearls.

STATE POLITICS


 columhlana Sentinel: The Sentinel hopes the next legislature will abolish the infamous fee system which obtains in all the county offices in Alabama. It is vicious law, the least that can be said of it.
 Tuscumbia North Alabaman: Should Governor Johnston enter the race for "al- ternate' senator it will leave only one place for the other candidates. for it is. foregone conclusion that Johnston will win.
 Selma Times; It is now in order for Governor Johnston to launch his candi- dacy for the succession. All the other candidates have announced and we see no reason why he should delay any longer. as his visit to Selma set the tide strongly in his favor.
 Ashvile Aegis; The grand old men in the United States Senate who represent Alabama are well able to perform the duties incumbent upon them in their position; and we are gratified to observe that the desire for them to remain in the Senate is almost unanimous.
 Ensley Enterprise: In reviewing the pages of history, we find that at least one man during every century has won dis tinction among his fellow men-that is, pre-eminent distinction, as for instance, Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, Washing ton, Lee While it is far from our pur- pose and intention to say anything derog atory to our present senators, who have for many years so ably represented the state of Alabama, yet our prognostica- tions are that there is now looming upon the political horizon a man the resplen- dency of whose star will eclipse all who have preceded him. It is almost unneces- sary to mention to our readers that we refer to the Honorable John B. Knox of Anniston, who Is a declared candidate for United States Senator as successor to the first vacancy that occurs in the Senate from this state.

Britain's New Battleship.

The launching of the Dreadnoaght puts in the waters of the world the largest fighting machtns ever known. an 1S,50O ton ahip. Sns is not only of unprecedented size, but her boilers can supply steam up to 23,000 horse power, and her turbines are expected to develop twenty-one knots on trial and twenty knots under service condi- tions. Nor is this all. Her battery consists of ten-instead of four-12- inch turreted rifled guns, which can throw each minute ten $50 pound pro jectiles against an enemy. Her armor. belt, too, is superior to that of any other ship. Altogether it Is estimated that the Dreadnought could alone whip any fleet or navy that was afloat fifty years ago, so fast has warfare on the sea been changed.
 The Dreadnought is to be equipped with many things that are at present a secret except in the British navy Such things cannot long remain secret But England was Japan's possible ally in the recent war with Russia, and

Prevention of Pneumpnla.

February and March are considered pneumonia months, because these are the months that are full of sudden changes of temperature. The individ- ual task in hand is to tougher oneself against a temporary chill produced or induced by the changes of the weather
 The pneumonia germ seems ever present, looking all the time for con genial soil to work in, and this it finds whenever vitality is low In order to keep up bodily yigor it is important in February and March to guard against the ordinary 'eold, and when ever a "cod" does appear 1t should be promptly treated in order to keep off a pneumonia attack.
 The most dangerous preliminary colds" says the New York Herald, "are those attended with feverishness, lassitude, headache, achy limbs and the general sick feeling that mark the attack To brave such seizure by an attack to work ii off is the height of foolhardiness The prudent man must take to his bed at once and submit to proper medical treatment, nor should he venture out again until all threatening symptoms have disap- peared."
 This is no doubt good advice, for pneumonia, when once begun, runs it's course. It cannot be headed off. It kills in this country more persons than typhoid fever, more even than tuber- culosis. It is the disease that Is to be particularly dreaded in February and March, and the initiative "cold" should not in these two months go neglected.

Amusements Pay.

Almost any attraction with merit can eeasily secure a large enough attendance in Birmingham to more than pay said a man who is interested in several amuse- ments in the city When the skating rink. for instance. was first mentioned d number of people said that it would not be patronzed, but the patronage Is better than was expected.
 Some people say that the third theatre which is being erected, will hardly pay expenses, but if the attractions furnished are as good as the attractions at the other theatres, the people will attend. I remember when few ever thought that fthe BiJou would pay, but it is paying handsomely.
 Birmingham is certainly an amusement loving city and whenever l hear of some new line of amusement that is coming to the city, know that it will be profita- ble if 1t has merit"

CASH FOR THE SHUDDER
 MOTIVE IS DEMANDED

ate and tense and intense the weep-weep tremolo is touched for all 1t is worth, Tears and lace handkerchiefs gush forth. Fat men sob in the darkness. Music and night and somethin' doin'; slight sensati ton as of goosefesh on the back: lumps in the throat. Good old convention. Much better than realism. No good assassin would hire musicians to play when the critical moment comes When one meets ones old love under the greenwood tree and a butterish moon one often forgets to bring music along This old musical convention Is lovely and beloved.
 Neurasthenic Chicago finds that this plaintive ''butting in" of the food of love is wearing on the nerves. The Musicians union of that town insists that this musical shuddering and shivering shall be paid for at higher wages If the man. agers say mo- then the villain must stalk to ';ragtime."

Gadsden's Lvnchinu.

Unlike the Elkmont lynching, in which the officials as well as the mob were practically pardoned by public sentiment, the good people of Gadsden are aroused against the mob that took an innocent man from the Etowah county jail and 1ynched him.
 The murder of Bunk Richardson last Sunday in Gadsden is not condoned by anybody in Gadsden whose opinion is of any value at all. Especially have the newspapers spoken out freely and repeatedly in the plainest terms. The Journal says there is but one thing for the community to do and that is to find these men and, no matter who they be, punish them in a way that will forever stamp out in Etowah county the spirit of lawlessness which lends itself to the commission of such acts as the taking of human life on a mere pretext A lynching under any circumstances is a cowardly, unjusti- fable procedure and, in a case like this, where merely a shadow of suspi- cion rested on the victim, it is brutali- ty and degradation itself" The Times News waa equally emphatic, and it especially demands action. "These are times," 1t says, when self righteous pig-headedness seems to turn even just contention into wrong one and if the truth is ever to be known and this city and county are to be redeemed in the eyes of the world something else besides resoluting and playing to the gallaries must be done. We again ask suspension of judg- ment until the governor and the local authorities can act intelligently. In the meantime a few of the resoluters should make sure of themselves that they are not found on the side of the lynchers when the real test comes."
 On every hand in Gadsden are heard denunciations of the lynching. No one attempts to justify, or even to excuse, the lynchers, and the Times-News says they will be caught. "They were seen, l" it says, 'by more than the sheriff. When they are caught the real test of public sentiment will come"
 The Age-Herald has faith that Gads- den will do it's full duty in this mat ter; and if it does 1t will not only re- cover it's own good name, but it will do all the rest of the state lasting and deeply important service.

TALE OF TROUSERS.
Governor Magoon Got His and Saw the
 Show.

Washington Special to the New York
 World.
 Governor Magoon of Panama and sena- tor Aldrich of Rhode Island occupy ad- joining apartments at the Arlington>ho- tel. They employ the same valet
 Last night Governor Magoon took some ladies to the theatre. AS one of the ladies stepped from the carriage she dropped her fan Governor Magoon stopped to pick it up. There was horrible tearing sound. The governor knew what had happened. He excused himself to the la dies, saying 1t was imperative that he should return to his hotel for few moments. He gave the ladies the tickets and promised to return In a short time.
 Then he hurried to the hotel He went to his room and found Senator Aldrich sitting there, mutely gazing at a pair of trousers that Tapped around him.
 By George. Magoon,e said the Senator, 'I am glad to see you. Do you know. that stupid valet has mixed up our dress trousers? You have on mine and I can not wear yours They are too large for me. 1 trust you have come back to change, for am late for my dinner engagement as it stands.''
 Indeed have come back to change said Magoon. Gimme those trousers. They are mine. As for these I have on. you are quite welcome to them
 Senator Aldrich shucked off Magoon's trousers, but when he came to put on his own which Magoon had been wearing, there was a succession of loud cries He stayed in the hotel that night. but Ma goon hustled back to the theatre in his own trousers and said he had fine time.
