Deserving of Thanks for His Recent
 Opinion.
 The following letter from MT. E. H, Dryer, a well known and able lawyer, of Birmingham, expresses views that are entertained by many thoughtful men all over the country. The letter was sent direct to Judge Jones and copy forwarded by Mir. Dryer to The Advertiser:
 Birmingham, Ala. Aug. 10, 1907. Hon. Thomas G. Jones, United States
 District Judge, Montgomery. Ala;
 My dear slrLAs citizen ot Ala regard and respect for the courts, l wish to express to you my sincere thanks for placing upon the records Of the court and publishing to the world your opinion justs rendered upon re- quest of parties to modify the order of injunction in one of the railroad cases pending in the United States Circuit Court for the Middle District of Ala bama
 By 1t ! am forcIbly reminded of the public declaration of Mir. Chief Justice Mansfield in the case of John Wilkes, when. among other things; ne said; t,, people. but many things acquired by the favor of either are, in my account objects not worth ambition. Wish popularity. but it is that popularity which follows not that which is run after. It Is that popularity which sooner or later, never fails to do Jus- tice to the pursuit of noble ends by mo- bIe means l will not do that which my conscience tells me is wrong, upon this occasion. to gain the huzzas ot thousands, or the daily praise or all the papers which come from the press l will not avoid doing what think Is right, though it should draw on me the whole artillery of libels. all that false hood and malice can invent or the credulity of deluded populace can swallow. 1 can say. with great mag istrate, upon an occasion and under circumstances not unhxe, Ego hoo amino semper fui. ut invidiam virtue partam, gloriam. baud infamiam, pu- tarem
 "'The threats go further than abuse personal violence is denounced. l do not believe it. it is not the genius or the worst men of this country, in tile worst of times. But l have set my mind at rest The last end that can happen to any man never comes loo soon, If he fall in support ol the law and liberty of his country tIor HpeF'y is SYNONYMOUS to law and governmental , Such a shock too. might be productlVe of public good; 1t might awake the better part of the Kingdom out or Iha' Iethargy which seems to nave De numbed them. and bring the mad part back to their senses as men lhtoNlcate e9 2 are sometimes stunned into soDIIety,

Albert J. Hopkins.

Senator Albert J. Hopkins. of nj nois, whose term will expire in 1SO9' and who is now fighting for re-elec- tion, was born in Dekalb County, H. Illinois, August IS. 1864.

It Is 8 well known fact that the me

It Is well known fact that the most active men in Republican poli- tices in Alabama are office holders. From the Chairman clear down the list, they nearly all hold Federal positions. ranging from Collector of Internal Revenue to Gus t0dians of Public Buildings. All this is in plain violation of orders and reg ulations prepared while President Roosevelt was Chairman of the Civil Service Commission. It is. therefore, in view of the Alabama situation amusing to read the following Wash ington special to The New York Times
 Because William R. Knight. United States Shipping Commissioner at Phil adelphia. had been found guilty by the Civil Service Commission of open, flag rant and defiant disobedience of Pres ident RooseVelt's order in regard to political activity. he has been asked to resign by Herbert Knox Smith, Acting Secretary of Commerce and Labor.
 If Mir. Knight would plead the fact that the whole Republican machinery in Alabama is run by oficeholders, he might at least draw attention to the fact that the rule as to non -partici- patton in political activities is not to apply where the powers that be have reasons for suspendlng 1t.

 Judge Jones takes occasion to define the rights of citizens to demand the services of the courts. What he says is a statement of Fundamentals. He a statement and who shall say he is a statemen. and who shall say he is wrong to so think when men of ele- vated position and of reputed learning and experience are bringing said fun damentals into dispute?

A DISTURBING PREDICTION.

Numerous predictions have been made and various methods suggested by which affairs are to- be wound up on earth. We are to be knocked out by a comet; we are to freeze to death by reason of the suns heat giving out; we are to starve to death because the earth will not produce food enough: we are eventually to fall into some one of the numerous suns of the universe and be burned up. All these and other calamities have been pre- dicted by the wise men and people have paid little attention to them. They content the6iselves by saying that none of these things will occur during their time and acting on the take no thought of the morrow idea they snap their fingers at predictions

THURSDAY, AUGUST IS, 1907.

We have evidently been laboring un- der a sort of hallucination about Bir- mingham. We have had it dinned into our ears by the city's newspapers that it is just about the Iivest and up-to- datest town that ever came down the pike, until we thought there could be nothing like it--this side of Pittsburg at least. To see how rudely our ideas of the Magic City have been dispered one has only to read this from The Age-Herald: t-r
 Some of the sidewalks of the city which are paved with brick or cement, are so overgrown with weeds as not to allow two pedestrians to pass each other with care" said an observant woman whose skirts were stained by the juice of the plants, and I wonder whose business it Is to cut these weeds
 "If the sidewalks are public prop erty, though paved at the cost of the abutting owner. it seems to me that the city should cut the weeds, or if the sidewalks belong to the property which they front. then the owner or occupant should do the work Certain 1t is that somebody should keen the sidewalks open, or else We should quit boasting of metropolitan importance and not talk so much about cutting weeds on private lots
 How Is that for a live town? To see the citizens marching along the streets. one behind each other and one before each other. like Indians on the war path. afraid to step a little to either side lest they tread on a snake or disturb the Hazards and toads must be an edifying sight for a fact. Is there no chance to induce Birmingham to sit up and take notice?
