 Our Birmingham contemporary. The Age-Herald, winces under the criti- cisms of The Advertiser for its in consistency in preaching loyalty to the State committee's recent action and in permitting it's correspondents and re- porters to follow a different practice. 1t devotes an editorial leader to the subject. and also column of space on it's editorial page with a signed arti- cle from one of It's reporters defending his report of the Committees session here.
 The editorial leader is reproduced on this page. Its substance is that It's policy is to present the news in It's news columns independent of its edi- toriai opinions. Its abstract declarations are all right; we have no dissent to make from them. The Advertiser has always been the most fearless and independent paper in the State in printing the news, and is simply amused at it's contemporary's pretense of being bigger and broader in that respect
 But our contemporary has not prac- ticed what 1t breaches. The Age-Her- aId did not print the news of the State Committee meeting without fear and without favor" It minimized and sneered at the position and declaration of the large majority, while it magni- fled and glorified the attitude of the minority. Mir. whitson discussed his report very ably and iucidly for nearly an hour. The Age-Heralds report of his remarks was utterly inadequate and plainly without sympathy or ap- proval. On the contrary, its report of Mir. Thach's remarks was, to say the least, ampIifed, sympathetic and ap- proving.
 This report was followed up the next day with another column of al- legged news, writing down the action oi the large majority of the committed and writing up the feeble opposition to it. Is that handling the news without favor?
 To have been consistent with its ab' stract position, Tne Ase-heFaio Shouiu have reported fully and fairly the ar gument on the floor in favor of the committees action and, to have car ried out its counsel of loyalty on the part of all Democrats, 1t should have hunted up dozens of the loyal leaders of Jefferson who are in sympathy with the committees action for their views instead of printing it's tumble of sneer' from the few opponents it could find
 If The Age-Herald really approves the committees action and wants al Democrats to support 1t loyalty il ought to devote more of it's space alone that line, and be less diligent in hunt ing up the disgruntled critics. It k short so far in news of the most abun dant sort.

Supreme Court Judges.

Selma Journal.
 The action of the state committee in throwing the nomination of the Su- preme Court judges back to the con Ventfon will no doubt meet the approV- al of those who cannot agree with everything else done by the. committee; After the last primary had come and gone and the people could look calmly over the field we heard great dissatis- faction expressed over the fact that candidates for the highest judicial posi- tions in the state had been compelled to tumble campaign. The people did mos like it and the candidates certainly did not for it was very difficult to make the campaign and preserve that digni- ty of depoTtmerit and action which should mark the man who aspires to a Supreme Court judgship. We believe the lawyers and all the people Will be thought of a convention nominate these officials hnreafter.

Waa Nnf q Hero.

Queen City (Md.) Courier
 When Mccoy & Nugents powder house man, at Magnolia, saw that 3,00O pounds of dynamite were about to let go-he ran. According to those heroic tales we all love to read, the man should not have fled; he should have stuck to his post of duty. or rushed into the powder house and started to hurl dynamite right and left But he didn't! He ran. In fact he started to run December 2nd and has just appear ed on the scene again. As a sprinter he might be chased as heroic, and possibly his present appearance Is more heroic than it would have been if he had not run, but he has set a bad example.
 What are we going to do for tales of heroism if every time a few thous- and pounds of dynamite decide to go off on tangent, those whose duty it is to watch that dynamite prove false to their trust and run! Still worse he lives to run another day. and as his comfadss gate upon his living, moving frame and think Into how many microscopical Atoms that body might have been separated, what course will they decide to follow on similar occasions? It puts a premium on sprinters
 Oh. for a hero who will gaze calmly upon sizzling dynamite and smiting his breast a mighty blow, will exclaim: Let her gow

The Policy of Suppression.

Birmingham Age
 Attention is directed to an article printed elsewhere on this page, tn which specific charges made by The Montgomery Advertiser regarding the accuracy of report written by rep resentative of this newspaper and day last are answered.
 It is impossible to read. the state ments made by Mr. Jones G. Moore wonder by what process of reason ing The Advertiser could have obtain ed the consent of it's mind to print on its editorial pages charges SO frivol- ous.
 The Age-Herald will not permit it, self to bandy words with Its Mont. gomery contemporary. The Advertiser charges The Age-Herald also with in- cause The Age-Herald had the temer- ity to print in it's news columns q dis patch from it's Washington cores, pendent that did not exactly coincide with its editorially expressed opn- ions on a certain feature of the pri- mary plan.
 The editorial page of newspaper has it's functions-and they are ex- Seedingly important functions. The news columns of a modern newspaper have other and different fun Ions, and the importance of those functions can not easily be magnifled
 The late Charles A. Dana, in an address at Cornell university a few years before his death, said that the newspaper that doesn't print the news isn't a newspaper" We agree with that opinion. No matter what may be its editorial views on public questions, The Age Herald is resolved to present to it's readers the news-no matter whether the presentation of that news helps or hurts the cause advocated by The Age-Herald.
 Other newspapers in the State, in their effort to be consistent" may suppress the news-may minimize the importance of what their opponents think and say and do, and magnify the importance of what they and their supporters do. say and think, Tha. is merely a> matter of individual policy and individual taste. So far as The Age-Herald Is concerned it will con- tinue to print the news without fear and without favor

He is of more Interest than the ordinary advance author of considerable repute and the father of several plays now in pro- MT.

This IS a poem which has been recited all over the world and has been trans lated into every language. Sam Ser. nard, now famous as comedian, buliL his reputation as an actor by recitiin,ig The Face on the Floor" in vaudeville CT vaudeville actors.

D'Arcy. who IS beset by his friends for autograph copies of the . poem wherever he goes. said yester- day that the. story was In way true; true The inspiration for the poem he said came to him one flight many years ago in an East Side saloon in New York when ragged tramp wandered III anu was thrown into the street by "bouncer.'
 "The next day being Sunday, said Mir. Darcy, "I sat down and wrote the verses. showed them to the proprie- tor of the saloon and he cried like a child. A few days later they were published in a New York newspaper: That saloon man bought 100 copies or the paper and mailed them all oyer the country. The verses were copied and it was not long before they were being recited by. minstrel men and vaudeville actors"

SUNDAY, JANUARY IA, 1906.

The youthful Speaker of the New York House of Representatives, made so by the grace of President Roosevelt and Governor Higgins has made a poor start in the way of reform. One Judge Hooker, of the State Court, was brought up for trial before the last Legislature for corrupt practices. While he was cleared the facts war ranted the hearing. The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee was MT. Fisk and the brunt of the prosecu- tion fell upon his shoulders. In the makeup of his committees the Speaker has see the late Judiciary Chairman aside and put up a man who was not anti Hooker. MT. Fisk in speaking of his deposition. says: "The men now in control of the Republican organiza- tion, ex-Gov. Frank S. Black, Railroad Commissioner George w. Aldridfe, Ex- ecutive Chairman William Barnes, Jr, and Secretary of State John F. o'Brien. are the men who used all the influence they could command to save Justice Hooker from condemnation by the Leg isIature I am being punished for my activity in the prosecution" That's reform with a vengeance.

 We note that the heavy emigration to Texas and the southwest that pre- vailed a few years ago has fallen to small proportions.

The President is determined to use the patronage at his command for all it's worth Just now he needs the sup port of Senators and needs it badly, TO gain it he does not hesitate to strike down representatives in most ruthless fashion. To coddle Senator Beveridge he allows him to name the man to fill a position in Indianapolis, which time out of mind had been con- coded to the Congressman from that district. Mir overstreet, the man thus treated Is the Secretary of the Repub- lican Congressional Committee. An other gIaring instance of placing favors where they will do most good is that of turning down the man named for postmaster at Detroit by Representa- tive Denby and giving the place to the fayorite of Senator Alger. Anything to get a majority of Senators to do his bidding seems to be the Roosevelt poll snxr

For Dentists in the Navy.

q feel some interest" said a citizen ''in bill just introduced in Congress which has for its purpose the addition of a corps of dental surgeons to the Bureau of Medicine of the navy.
 '"The bill proposes to give dentists of the corps the corresponding rank, pay and emoluments of surgeons. All apppintees are to be between twenty one and thirty years old and they must pass a rigid examination as to their professional fitness.
 = 'The care of the teeth, so impor- tant to health, seems to have been overlooked by the government in its navy branch of service and it has re- mained for Colonel Wiley to propose a law which will overcome this de- ficiency.

The Spirit of Reform.

Alabama has not been cursed as some States have been with brbe-takers and b0Odlers, grafters and bootlicks. But as never before the reform measures revolutionizing the politics of many States are crystallizing conviction all over the country. And the people of Alabama feel it's inspiration, and are asking that all the light be turned on all the men and measures competing for the mastery.

More IdIoms Than Ever.

T can't hardly refrain from calling attention to our growing tendency to fall back on the Anglo-Saxon in con versation and writing" said lingulst yesterday. One can not overlook the fact if ones eyes are kept open from day to day.
 More persons are now saying 'peo- pie of the play than said 1t a lew months ago. 'Personae dramatis' is growing rather obsolete in spite of the eternal correctness of the expression Our greatest speakers and writers to- day are freely using to-do' instead of commotion or some other long Latin derivative. We are gradually depart ing from the bombastic Johnsonese and turning to the simple life in word usage if not morally.
 more ago to study and admire elevated literary style but we seem to take the shortest route to expression these days provided there is no sacrifice of mean ing. Idioms are characteristic of the English language and it's my opser- vation we are using more of them now than eYer."

Letter From MT. Thach.


 Editor The Advertiser:
 l have read with much interest the columns of The Age Herald" and The Advertiser" about the proceedings Of the State Democratic Executive Com mittee at its meeting held on January the 9th.
 l was surprised to see that The Ad- Vertiser was so much incensed over MT. Ransom's report of what occurred, for though he changed the verbiage of my remarks, in my judgment, he did not alter the sense. All that l think can l did not deem it wise for the State Democratic Executive Committee to railroad" any important measure through even though it were advocated by flaming words of eloquence. The in- depreciation of my remarks given in The Age Herald of the 18th instant by MT. Jones G. Moore and Mir B. F. Roden meet with my entire approval
 As a conservative member of the committee l was unwilling to rush through with what I considered inn portant matters and what Mir Whit novations." In my judgment If either renort of the proceedings was biased it was not that of The Age Herald
 Robert Fl. Thach.
 (The Advertiser makes no point on MT. Ihach as to his views on the com issue was with the liberty taken with his remarks by the staff correspon- dent. which while they may have eX- pressed what he thought went farther and suggested things which he did not say. The reports of The Advertiser was not biased-the statement by the stan correspondent all the way through was rather a series of objections to what was done than report of what was dOne.)

Commendable Action.

The decision Of the State committee to have the two members of the su- preme court nominated by conven- offices as much as possible out of poli- ties Is one of the most commendable acts of the committee. The idea of trailing the judicial ermine through the cesspools of precinct politics was always nauseaung to us.
