THE DEMOCRATS AND DEMON


al knew u man once IN Tennessee who
made IL fortune attending to his own
business" said Andrew jackson in the
whito house to an DELICIOUS fellow who
veuturcd TO suggest to him that Il ewal-
low-tailed coat would be the proper
attire for a certain state dinner to re
given hat evening. Ii may be added
in parenthesis, as it were, that jackson
presided at the dinner in iaultless attire
but his adviser did not eoon forget the
rehuke.
Thoroughly III keeping with this
Jacksonian policy OF attending to ones
own business is the vote by the senate
democrats in caucus to oppose confirm
alton OF the presidents Santo Damingo
treaty. 1t Is none OF our business
whether the creditors Of Santo Domingo

vise them to put their money there and

Dominican finances and sending agents
to tho islands to sequester the money OF
the Domlnicans the president exceeded
the powers conferred by the constitu-
ton which requires the consent Of two
thirds Of the senate to every treaty or

senate would administer a well.merited
rebukc,
But even il the senate should approve
the presidents course confirming the
treaty it would be bad policy for our
government to assume the task OF col
lection agent for people who claim to
have made bad investments in the Latin
American Republics, or in any other
country. In the long run We shall fare
infinitely better by following the wise
and enrncst advice of Washington and
Jefferson and the curt maxim OF jackson
leaving other countries to settle their
own disputes in their own way.

GOOD READING FOR CHILDREN.
Best Way to Develop Sound Taste In
Literature.

There ought TO be a collection OF
good books within the reach of every
child from the earliest years. These
books ought to be selected with the
utmost care, AID should exclude all
inferior, sensational and careless
writing. The list ought to exclude a
large number of the books written
especially for children. because many
OF these books lack reality and liter
airy quality.
A child who is brought up with well.
bred people will have good manners
far more certainly than a child who

 Apart.
 Florence, Sept 2.-(SpeciaL)-A sec ond meeting of the Republican county executive committee was held yesterday at the court house and as result the breech is widened between the two fac- tines of the Republican party In Lau- derdale county. A mass convention was called for Saturday, August 25. by the secretary of the executive com nlfttee, D. c. Wesson. without the con sent of Dr. Pitt, the chairman, and the leaders of the faction were elected delegates to the district convention to be held in Decatur Monday
 At the meeting of the committee yes terday e second lot of delegates were chosen to represent this county and two delegates will present themselves aft. Decatur. The following list Of del- erates were named Dr. James T. Pitt W. c. Van Buskirk, C. A. Ware. B. P. Merrill, c. W. Moore, D. c. Wes- son, J. L. Oesopus. September IS was selected as the date for holding the primary for the nomination, of State eandidates and the question of putt ting out a county ticket was left to the discretion Of the chairman of the executive committee.
 The nomination of a judge for the eleventh Judicial district is still In doubt and it will take the official count in Marion county to settle IT, Tne nrst returns apparently made Charles F. Almon, of Franklin county. an easy winner, but as the official count has come from each county the hopes of Paul Hodges friends have revived. Tn the three counties of LauderdaIe, Col bert and Marion the two men are al- most tied and the question of who shall be the winner hinges on Marion county which both are claiming. There are a number of boxes in Marion which have not been heard from and Mir. Hodges left today for that county to look after his interests there.

ADDRESS BY WALLACE.
Urges Protection of Alsbama's Gans
 And trf~h

And Fish.
 Huntsville, Sept. 2.-(6pecial.l John H. Wallace. Jr.. president or the Ala' bama Game and Fish Protective Asso- citation. has Issued the following ad- dress:
 To Aiabamians who wish to protect our game. fish and forests:
 It is most gratifying to note that public sentiment in Alabama strongly demands adequate general laws iook- ing to the protection and preservation of our fast vanishing supply of game and fish. Legislation of this kind IS but the logical and legitimate out' growth of education, and an awakening on the part of the people to the exi- gencies of the true condition.
 The game. the birds, and the fish are property of the people of the State, and are of vast economic value to our cit izens, and should be protected by gem eral legislation for the common use and benefit of all Alabamians. 1
 Experience has demonstrated the in- adequacy of protection by local legis- lation and only by the enactment Of general game and fish law. and com hitting the enforcement thereof to a department of game and fish, can er- ficlent protection of this valuable and rapidly decreasing asset be enforced.
 Those who derive e pleasure and re- creation in hunting or fishing should bear in part the financial burden oi protecting our game and fish rather than the people at large. and all leg islation on these subjects should strict ly safeguarded the rights of all the people in our game and fish.
 Some legislation Is demanded out oi which may be evolved a plan to pre- serve our forests from destruction, and to educate our people to the necessity and the duty which they owe tnem- selves and coming generations to re- plenish denuded forests and protect those we now have
 While after carefully canvassfng the result of the primaries, feel confident that a vast majority of the Legisla- ture Alabama will favor the passage of the bill proposed by the Alabama Game and Fish Protective Association, we should pursue the same course adopted in Tennessee and incorporate a game, fish and forestry plank in our State platform. This will commit the Democratic party to the passage of this very important measure. Therefores call on all Alabainians who are inter ested in securing this proposed legis- lation to meet me at Montgomery. Sep tember 10, the day the State Demo- cratic Convention assemblies, and to employ their best influences with the delegates to secure their cooperation in placing a game, fish and forestry plank in our State Democratic plat form.

reer. The recruit should be started in with the well grounded impression that he must promptly and without question obey all orders, rules and reg ulations, whatever else he has to neg Iect to do 1t. The reason for this should be explained to him, and a It, tie experience will demonstrate it.
 The matter should be taken up fre- quntly with the assembled company and the evident consequences of poor
 discipline used to illustrate the need of good discipline. Failure to attend drills by any considerable portion of the command may render it impossible for those who do attend to get any good from the drill; talking and mat tention while at drill not only inter-
 feres with the object of the drills, but
 becomes nuisance to every one and any failure to do his part by any mem bers throws extra work on some one else.
 These things are evident, and will be understood by the men. Attractions of these rules of discipline should be promptly punished, but in such way as not to arouse resentment.
