DISBURSEMENT the other day when Till
man essayed the role of wit, funny
man. a humorist. For a half hour the
senator from South Carolina reveled in
the realm of humor, and the product of
| his teeming brain would have done
credit to the best talent that follows
the cheap vaudeville circuit.
His fellow members in 1.-The senate
were paralyzed with establishment and
| it took several minutes after Ben had
finished his speech before they recov-
cred sufficiently to catch Their breath.
The serenity of that august assemblage
was never before so violently assault
ed and so completely routed as it was
South Carolina.
The elephantine humor of Tillman,
to anyone not clothed with the dignity
and Importance of a United States SEN
atOr. was eXcruciatingly funny, not so
much for what it contained as for the
effect it had upon those austere gen.
tlemen.
The senators whose dignity and self
Importance had been so violently as
saulted by Tillman's efforts to be fun
ny were incensed beyond description.
They could see nothing to laugh at in
the South Carolinian'S broad wit. al
though it contained much that was true
though it was not couched in the best
of English and with the usual courtesy
that characterizes senatorial discussion.
So they proceeded to get out their
knives and started in to carve the
pitchfork humorist
In the meantime Ben had seen the
error of his ways. He suddenly discov-
cred that his secret ambition to shine
as a humoriSt was due to the prompt
ings of the evil one, that his fond
dreams of some day succeeding Mark
Twain in the hearts of his countrymen
as a great American humorist was
vain. delusiOn. He had exposed the
one weak spot in his makeup, but had
sense enough to realize his mistake.
He Immediately struck his colors, ran
up the white flag of surrender, and for
the first time in his congressional ca
reer he made a contrite and humble.

Stringcr Deserved 1t.

The democratic members of the gen
eral assembly have held a caucus and
nominated their candidate for United
States senator, Carroll c. Boggs. 1t is
generally conceded that the man who
bore the brunt of the conflict is emit
tied to this honor. There is no good
reason why it should not have been
conferred upon Lawrence B. Stringer
of Lincoln He is the popular choice,
and since these members of the legis-
Iature have been yelling their heads
off to have United States senators
elected by the people, it would appear
as if Stringer ought to be selected for
this honor, even if it were an empty
one.-PeoTia Star.
Mr.. Stringer is not only a very bright
and able young man, but he possesses
those qualities that he would fill any
position to which he may aspire with
ability and honor. He ought to have
been elected governor in 1904.

TiIIman.s Great Mistake.

Every great man has his own pecu
liar weakness, which, no matter how
careful he may be to disguise it, soon
er or later is exposed to public view.
Ben Tillman of South Carolina has
for years been recognized as one OF
the most serious and earnest of public
men. His views ON public questions
have been SO pronounced and his adj
vocacy of them so emphatic that he
has gained the sobriquet of 'Pitchfork
Tillman."
During all these years no one ever
dreamed that Ben could be funny. The
country has become so accustomed to
his pyrotechnic oratory, his singing
sarcasm and his biting invective that
it was almost possible to anticipate the
character of his utterances when he
rose to speak on any given subject
The senator and the people at large
were, therefore, almost stunned with

of the subsidy bill, sending a message
to congress urging the need of taxing
everybody 10 promote the development
of shipping lines that else will not eX-
list. II is the general rule that com
meTce between countries, goods desir-
ed from one country by another, will
cause transportation facilities to be
provided; but the subsidy way is to
first create shipping lines by donating
millions TO steamship companies and
expect these facilities to produce com
merce. II may be done this way, but
the more natural way was sketched by
Secretary Root in his report following
his South American trip, when he urg-
ed that manufacturers in this country
should ascertain the needs and tastes
of possible customers down there and
endeavCr to produce what trade down
there demands. He argued it worth
while to have statesmen in that field
who speak the language of the people
there.
If conditions of an important COM
merce were developed between the two
Americas it is a safe assumption that
ships to carry tn goods would be pro-
vided. even though no subsidy were in
sight.

DEMENT, CAN'T TRY
 THE GREEK DEALERS

Justice of the Peace Ira W. Dement, of Precinct 22 has been enjoined from trying the Greek fruit dealers ar rested last summef on a charge of violating the Sunday law. Justice De- ment was temporarily enjoined on Au- gust 27, and yesterday when the at torneys for both sides agreed on tn e facts in the case before Judge A. O.. Lane the injunction was made per- manent.
 The action of the court yesterday ends the litigation instituted against all of the fruit dealers catering to the street trade in Birmingham. The in junction was rendered on the ground that Justice Dement, belongs in Pre- cinct 22, While the men arrested op- erated their business In Precincts 2I and 37, 1t being held that the justice in Precinct 22 has no Jurisdiction in violations committed in Precinct 21 or 37.
 The style of the cause was George Castello and others vs. Ira Dement,, jus- tice of Precinct 22.
