DOwle Dethroned.

1t is a matter OF rejoicing among
the better class of thinkers ofthis age
that the press is now giving the
public the closing chapters of
malignant brand of fanctieism and
blind obedience to false and brazen
prophet who prostituted the faith of
his groundless claim by an effort to
incorporate into the fold of his fool
ish followers the doctrine of poly
gamy.
The doctrine advanced by Dowie
has been the subject of more severe
criticism than any claim asserted by
so called prophet since the bullets
of an engared people plowed through
the vitals of Joe Smith and his BROTH
er at Nauvoo, Illinois, and permitted
their polygamous blood to ming'e in
the Mississippi.
To the average mind Dowie's pro-
position is proposterous, and stands
condemned without argument il
the fierce light of the commonesl
kind of common sense, and can not
be accepted upon any condition.
Unfortunately upon those whom he
has misled will fall heavily the bur
dens of his brazen hypoeraey.
As much as dislike to confess it
the fact remains that there is a
sprinkling of people in every state,
who are spiritually weak and lack a
strength of self relience sufficient to
stand alone and fight for solution
of the problems thrown up by
political, social, and religious CON
ditions, and they are constantly on
the alert for an opportunity to rally
to the support of any old bell-wether
providing his doctrine is unreason.
able and is bordering on the Jim
Jams of Sensationalism.
The country is full of good honest,
consienseious christian ministers,
who are devoutly religious and have
given the best years of their lives in
a prayerful ambition to preach,
teach, and live Christ. and yet they
have failed to secure help to lift the
debts hanging over their little
churches. fiat any time these ad.
vocates of the doctrine of the sal
walton that Christ taught should re.
ceive $500 and a vote of thanks for
a years work they would fall dead
from pure thankfulness. But not
SO; they have toiled on year after
year trying to capture souls for the
courts. of heaven, toiled without
money and without price.
But when the most disreputablt
old fakir that ever went unhunp
sounds the clarion notes of some pre-
poatsrous DOCTRINE, befo~!s tho high,
way of life will the oozy slime o.
polygamous hypocrisy, and drags
his dirty reputation along the patti
to Galilee, made sacred by the san
daled feet of the Son of God, then
these human parasites gather them
selves together like SO many unclear
maggots. or blue bottle flies swarm
ing around the carcass of an ass
Dowie has wisdom only that ht
knows there are other fools, greater
fools than he. He is a great socia
ulcer, and for years has been regard
ed as the prime mover in new re-
ligion, whose field suggests a para.
disc for the overdue fool-killer.

would cover a common citizen any
thicker with popularity, or do more

Platform of the Party.

Platforms are becoming passe so to speak, but Alabama democrats still cling to them and to conventions. The convention of Monday declared, how ever. in favor of primaries conducted by the state at the expense of the state, but 1t confined it's action to state, county, district and federal offices, leaving the selection of national dele gates in 1908 untouched, and really paving the way for another convention.
 Other the platform contains nothing of an unexpected nature. Railroad rate reform is made the leading issue, anG the reform is made comprehensive and sweeping. Lobbyists are assailed, and so are passes. The watering of railway securities, and all railway dis criminations are condemned. A square deal is called for. The platform ad- mits that the railroads are entitled to just returns from their investments, and under that rule the platform asks fair field and no fayors. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and that test applies to the Conner rate pro- gramme as well as to all other mum dane matters.
 
 The platform neglects to demand local taxation for school purposes, and that great and pressingly needful re- form must be fought through on it's merits. The illiteracy of Alabama can never be conquered until each school district is permitted to have as good a school as it is willing to pay for.
 Perhaps the most curious plank in the platform is the one denouncing the alternate-senator plan, while uphold ing the action of the late democratic state executive committee. It calls upon the next governor to stand by his pledges, and yet it assails the late committee. The history of this plank would constitute an interesting chap ter, but it cannot be written at pres ent.

Victors and the SnolIs.

The friends of Mir Conner simply took over the fruits of their victory. In doing this they did no more, and did the work no more ruthlessly, than any other lot of political workers in their shoes would have done.
 The time Is fast coming when the democrats of Alabama should get to- gether in order to lend moral support to the national campaign. The un- qualified endorsement of William Jen- nings Bryan was a step in the right direction, for there are no anti-Bryan men in Alabama now. None believe that national ownership of railroads should come now or can come, if at all, in less than a generation or two. and the convention did not mention the subject. Regulation will be fully ex hausted before ownership is taken up as live issue.
 The convention acted wisely when 1t needed the mandate of the people in relation to judges of the supreme court. No convention can afford to disregard public sentiment publicly expressed.
 All in all, the convention acted with reasonable prudence, moderation and good sense. The bandwagon became supreme, and the responsibility of state administration is now in the hands of the men selected and desig- mated by the people. This is natural and proper, and 1t becomes in turn the duty of those men to do nothing to alienate any democrat or to create any differences or factions within the party. Harmony and fair play should go to- gether.

FraternaI Birmingham.

T have never been In a city where fraternal orders are more popular than they are in Birmingham,' said Arthur c. Minter of Montgomery. who is organ izing the grand parade of Knights of Khorassan.
 "I have not met man who is not a member of some fraternal order. and the majority of them belong to three or four. This is remarkable in city where business is done under such pres sure and where a person would expect to find the spirit Of selfishness which close competition engenders.
 Your people have learned the wis. dom of the proverb, There's a time to work and time to play and find that when they work thsy work and when work is done they find time to enjoy the social intercourse to be found in the lodge room.
 Man is by nature gregarious anil nal; he likes to meet and mix with his fellows. After his day's arduous toll in store or office or workshop he finds that the congenial company of his brothers affords him the msatal relaxation so necessary to his health and happiness.
 T am delighted with my visit to Bir- mingham and have made many friends whom 1t will be my pleasure to remeni- Der the rest of my life"

How Maine Went.

Maine went republican, but Governor Cobb's plurality will be less than 5000, whereas the republican plurality of the previous ten years has ranged from 24,709 up to 45,777. To some extent the liquor question entered into the contest, but outside of that issue 1t is plain public sentiment ran towards the democrats. Like games in the middle states would presage a tidal wave in 1908.
 MT. Littlefield was reelected to Con- gress by plurality of about 1000. His plurality in 1904 was 5419, and he has never known plurality of less than 5000 MT. Gompers has cut it down this year to 1000, and Secretary Taft, Senators Lodge and Beveridge and Speaker Cannon, all of whom went to Littlefields assistance, could not hold up his vote.
 But all other republicans fared near ly as poorly. In the Third district Con- gressman Burleigh is reelected by 2000 plurality. Two years ago his plurality was 6S63. In the Fourth dis trict Congressman Powers does not claim a plurality exceeding 2000. Two ,vaars ago his plurality was S901! The

SYLVAN FACE
Was That of Oscar Wilde, Writes Re-
 viewer of His Life.

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati En-
 quirer.
 New York-The Times book review publishes the following on Robert Har- borough sherards biography Life of Oscar Wilde:"
 "The long threatened Life of Oscar Wilde by his friend Robert Marlborough Sherard is at hand, and notwithstanding its moderation of tone and the authors studied avoidance of panegyric we can find in its 470 pages little excuse for its existence. It tells faithfully the story of Wilde's life with as few unsavory details as possible, but we doubt if the story Is worth telling. The biographer, though a friend of Wilde, was avowedly not an admirer of his literary and artistic ex- travagances. He was never a member of the cult. He admits that Wilde was a degenerate. He says bluntly that the face of Oscar Wilde, like that of his father, was partly simian.' The portrait used as a frontispiece shows that the lower half of Wilde's face was ugly and was angelic or godlixe must always be matter of opinion or fancy. But. after all, Wildes personal appearance makes no difference. Many worthy men have had ugly and even brutal faces. Wilde was not a worthy man."

 Cotton in our section has deteriorated and the crop will not be as large as promised" said MT. Peteet Tn Miss issippi We are not seriously troubled with labor scarcity, as is the case in states containing manufacturing towns. The Birmingham district make a large draft on negro labor and that of course. ef- fleets more or less seriously the farm. con- ditions in the agricultural sections of Alabama
 Negro labor throughout the south is deteriorating rapidly. The future of the negro race is extremely gloomy and it is all the fault of the negro himself.
 With the range of cotton prices in recent years the south is accommodating money. The negro who rents twenty acres has fine chance to become pros- porous. He understands cotton and could make much more than a living but 1t is the same old story; all he wants is Just enough to live on. It is the same way in your industrial centers, where negroes are employed. High wages enable him to live on his income of two or three days week. hence in few cases no negroes work out the whole week. He makes almost as much around the Ala bama furnaces in three days as he used to make by working six days. He has no ambition, no desire to improve his con dition."

Three More Railroads.

Not projected railroads, but railroads actually in course of construction. Three more are about to be built into Birmingham. They are the Mobile and Ohio, the Illinois Central and the At lantic and Birmingham-al big trunk lines, and all throwing dirt and erect ing terminals in this city.
 What other city in the land has three big railroad systems forcing an en- trance? What other city, be it big or little, is thus sought by railroad com panies?
 When the three railroads in question are here the railroads of the southeast will all be here, every one of them that has mileage enough to lift it out of the strictly local class-every trunk line fin other words that the southeast possesses. Some may say the Atlantic Coast Line has not come in, but those who say that forget that the Atlantic Coast Line owns the Louisville and Nashville, and that where the latter is the former Is also
 Our railroad conquests hereafter must relate to the systems west of the big river. We need an extension of the Gould system very much from one of its river points. The Cotton Belt, too. is needed. We have the Rock Island and the Frisco. An extension of the Gould system to this district would very nearly complete our rail road system.
