MONDAY, JANUARY 22, 1906.

The Birmingham News puts up some men of straw. calls no names and says At4wil1 give space to any of them who desire to enter disclaimer. Its re- marks pointed plainly to Mir. John B. Knox. as one of the alleged coterie com posing the alleged Atlanta meeting to consider the State committee plan. It confesses that 1t has been informed by one in position to know, who is | thoroughly trustworthy. that refer ence to Mir. Knox or either member of his firm in this connection is unjust. because it is without any foundation. in fact: that while Mir. Knox was in Atlanta a week or ten days prior to the assembling of the committee, he did not meet in conference with any committee of railroad otficials or rail- road attorneys for the purpose of dis cussing the proposed plan of the Democratic campaign for 1906 in Ala sbama, or for any other purpose; and that in Atlanta or elsewhere, he did not undertake to influence the action of the State Democratic Executive Committee in any respect" Now if The News knows positively the names of any men who went to Atlanta for the purpose it charges, it ought to produce them.

 Each day he was trailed by a band of hunters led by the hrother of Rig Pete and on several occasions was shot at, always. however. from great dis tance.
 One afternoon in the beautiful Indian summer when the gold red leaves lay like a mantel upon the earth. Long Tom the brother, with big express rife large enough to kill an elephant, and accompanied by a regiment of hounds climbed up the mountain on the. last search for the outlaw Mon- arch.
 After hours of fruitless trailing the forest echoes were started by the ex- uitant paying of one of the big hounds "a tiny pool of dried blood had given away the secret. and the trail led away to the eastward in a zig gag path over the fallen trees and rocks.

 Then it was that the army of sneak ing hounds fell upon him.

The Baltimore News. discussing the Moroccan conference, says: "The com
 mercial interests of the United States are too slightly affected by the ques- tions at issue in the conference at AL
 geciras to justify our participation;
 and. such as they are, they could. in Senator's Hales opinion, be much bet
 ter cared for in some other way and at some other time" If we get out of this business without being seri- ousIy involved the country will have great cause for rejoicing. We had no call to send representatives there and only the butt in" policy of the big stick" man was the cause of it. If he keeps up his intermeddling program , this country will be involved in war before his term of office expires.

A Suggested Reason for oppositio n.

CuIIman DemOcrat.
 It may be that some places had been promised to men who are afraid to go before the people on their merits. If so, the plan Is all the better for the people. Any man who is afraid of a primary writes himself down as Op- posed to majority rule, unwilling to trust his fortunes to the rank and file of the party and in favor of back-doo methods of getting into office
 The opinion Is widespread that MT. Conner. in the remote possibility of his being elected Governor. had promised the places of Senators Morgan and Pet tus to two men who are whooping things up for him. These men have Morgan to enter the primary and sub init their names to the people That they will do this is not believed by anyone.

An Evidence of Prosperity.

 There was such a demand for space in the advertising department of The Times News this week that the paper Is forced to print eight pages today, or just twice the usual size. The ad- vertising columns of this newspaper re- fleet accurately the business prosperity that prevails in Gadsden just as the news columns mirror the news hap penings of the city and of the dis trict. You will notice today that those who have continually advertised in The Times News are the heaviest custom CTS. They have all increased space. The large advertisers are those who have tried the efficiency of this particular medium. Is it necessary to say more ?

Mobile Register ..
 It would seem to be a good time to have expression from the people of this State regarding the fitness of a distinguished Mobile citizen, Hon. Richard H. Clarke, for the office of Senator. Time and again he has been mentioned and his merit has been ex- tolled. The alternative candidate plan Committee affords a good opportunity for this expression Mr. Clarke Is in the prime of his physical and mental vigor; he has in him, according to our judgment, the right material; and he would be a Senator of whom the State would be proud. We would like to see him proposed for this office. and will propose him ourselves upon the slight est encouragement on his part We feel that we would be doing the State a good service were we in any degree influential in securing such a man as he for United States Senator

 The talk about the State Committee acting in bad taste in having the people vote for Senators to be appointed by the next Governor, Is mere rubbish No man has cinch on life, the young and the old are liable to die at any time The purpose of this clause is to serve notice on the next Governor of Alabama that he must be content to play Governor; that he must run for office on his merits without promising Senatorships to anyone.

 While we are looking after other modes of bringing about our future de- velopment we should not overlook the possibilities in locating farmers. men who will take our waste lands and con- vert them into homes.

Mir. Conner spoke at Monroeville one day last week. The Monroeville Jour- nal in reporting it among other things says: ..--...
 MT. Conner said that the assertions that had been made that he contem- plated bolting the Democratic party in case the verdict of the primaries should be against him was utterly without foundations that he was and always had been loyal to his party; that while he would fight as vigorous ly as any within its ranks, for what he conceived to be right, none would bow more gracefully than he to an adverse majority.
 Now MT, Conner ought to be specific and let the public know when and where he was charged with any bolt ing proclivities. We have read the papers very closely and have seen no intimation to that effect.
