A Quiet Resort.

at least two Sunday schools had pic
mics at North Birmingham park yester-
day" said a man last night.
For quiet, rugged restfulness this is
one Of the best resorts in the city. The
surroundings are ideal for picturesque
ness and quiet, and it is a very popular
resort for parties of this kind which are
usually attended by numbers of children.
There is no lake and little danger of
accident to The little ones l understand
that picnic parties choose this resort al
most every day during the summer and
very often there are several on the
ground at the same time"

they have laid their hands to is the
state dispensary system, which was Gre
ated by Tillman when he was governor of
South Carolina.
1t is believed that Tillman will pull
through all right but he likes to be on
the ground when there is a fight on, and
he has been very uneasy through the three
months of rate debate.
Senator Tillman has nothing to do at
present with the dispensary system, but
having created it, he has chosen to de-
fend it, and his fate will depend on the
fate of the system.

HENRY J. ALLEN

one day last week this paragraph ap-
peared in the hfteen-years-ago column
of the Salina Union:
H. J. Allen, the reporter for the Sa-
ma Republican. was caught in the gar
ret Of the Salina opera house TODAY frv-
ing to play spy on the Farmers state
Alliance. He was discovered and
brought down before the session corn
menced business"
The story of how Henry Allen. at that
time a young newspaper reporter en-
ployed by Joseph L. Bristow, covered"
the state meeting Of the Farmers,
Alliance in 1891. which was virtually a
secret political convention, has been told
and re-told. 1t was looked upon as a
heinous offense by many Of the radical
Populists, but was regarded as iustifi-
able by outsiders, inasmuch as the con-
vention had to do with state affairs.
When Mr.. Allen, bedaubed viii cob
webs and his necktie under one ear. was
hailed before that august assembly in
the Salina opera house and commanded
to explain his presence in the garrett
where he could hear the proceedings, it
was his first appearance before a po-
litical body. His audience was not in
sympathy with him and he lacked ex-
perience as a speaker. and his remark
that he had been called on somewhat
suddenly and had no speech prepared
was not graciously received.
It's a far cry from the newspaper re
porter who appeared before that Farm
ers' Alliance meeting to the orator who,
just fifteen years and two days later,
stopped a stampeding audience of 1000
peopla in the TOpeISa auditorium after
they had listened for over an hour
to the vice president Of the United
States. And yet it's not so far, either.
In point Of time it has been brief, yet
Henry J. Allen has wonderfully de-
veloped in that time.
First, he achieved a high rank among
the newspaper editors of the state, and
it was not until W. e. Stanley became
governor, less than eight years ago that
Mr. Allen thought OF politics or oratory.
Since then he has attained a place
among the leaders of his party in Kan
sas. and he ranks second to none as a
public speaker. Twice he has made the
race for the Republican nomination for
congress, winning fairly the first time,
but he was beaten out OF it by fraud
uIent delegations and 'rump'' conven-
tions.
Mr.. Allen is still a comparatively
young man. He Is a man OF integrity
and honor. In the last Republican state
convention he Ter the opposition to rail-
road domination on the floor of the con-
vention, although most Of his political
associates were on the other side. Kan
sas can well be proud Of Henry J. Allen.

A BOIlTTNG DIrFTCIrInY.

It appears that those Republicans
who have been planning to bolt two of
their party candidates for railroad
commissioners and vote for Harry Nc
MILAN and Judge James Humphrey on
the Democratic ticket viii find their
plans spoiled by the amended election
law. It Will be impossible to vote for
Kanavel on the Republican ticket and
Humphrey on the Democratic ticket as
hundreds of Republicans have intended
to do.
Two years ago this was possible.
Under the former law where two or
more similar offices were to be filed,
those candidates receiving the highest
number OF votes, regardless of their
position on the ballot, were elected.
But the amended law provides that
where two or more candidates are to
be elected for similar ohaces, those
whose names are opposite shall be
considered IS candidates for the same
Office, and if two candidates for the
same office are voted for, neither is
counted.
In the Republican state convention
Frank J. Ryan and Charles A. Ryker
were known as "sIate" candidates, but
the slate was broken when the third
candidate was named and George W
kanavel was nominated. Consequently
a good many Republicans have planned
to vote against Ryan and Ryker, in
order to register their protest against
the slate" but they intend to stand
by Kanavel
This element has generally endorsed
Harry Mcmillan and Judge Humphrey
on the Democratic ticket, but Charles
A Cooper, the third Democratic nomi-
nee, has been lost sight of. But it Will
be impossible to vote for both Hum
phrey and Kanavel. They are oppos-
ing candidates under the new law. Ow-
ing to the makeup of the ticket only
one of them can be elected.
For the same reason. If one wishes
to vote against Ryan it will be neces-
sary to vote for Cooper, or a candidate
on minor ticket. It is possible. how
ever to vote against Ryker and for
Mcmillan.
This new situation will doubtless
cause a great deal of dissatisfaction. A
great many Republicans will vote for
two opposing candidates, Kanave1 and
Humphrey, and it viii count for neith-
