SATURDAY, JUNE /. 1907.

The Admission Hot Blast, after a few
days trial as an afternoon paper goes
back to the morning schedule. To use
Its own language:
There was never in Admission more
strenuous opposition to a movement
than the change of The Hot Blast
from Il morning to an afternoon edt-
ton.
On the first announcement of the
change, Sunday morning. it began to
reach us. On Tuesday morning when
no paper was received, 1t was decidedly
more pronounced. Wednesday morn
ing 1t was intense. and this mornin g
the opposition to the movement was
simply Irresistible. The people in all
walks of life, from the colored servant
to the capitalist with his hundreds of
thousands, have simply demanded that
we return to the morning field 1t has
not been from a few isolated people,
but more than thousand have made
a direct a--eal to us for the change.
OF course, The Hot Blast is. and al
ways has been, in Admission to please,
will resume publication each morning
on next Sunday.
This temporary change has certainly
demonstrated one thing. Other places
may be afternoon paper towns, but as
for Admission, it's people certainly pre-
fer n morning edition The short
change has been beneficial, in that it
demonstrated this fact to Us.
We have been taught the lesson, and
hereafter The Hot Blast will appear
regularly as a morning edition.

HE TALKS SENSE.

Whatever else may be said of Gov
ernor Johnson of Minnesota he certain
ly has a clear head on the tariff ques-
ton. In recent interview In Missis-
sippi he said:
1t seems to me that the slogan of the
Democratic party in the next campaign
and in every succeeding campaign I'M
til the question is settled should be a
5sy5GS Sf shs .aris A 49s is th0 on
this noint that l disagree, from the
President of the United States. / be-
lieve that the tariff more than any
other cause has direct bearing on
trusts and places a burden, direct and
indirect, unon the ~9cnle of the coun-
try, benefting no general class and
good only to a privileged few.
And then. after referring to the many
Republican false promises and pledges
on the subject he added:
No, we cannot look to the Republi-
can party to do anything to relieve the
situation in that direction. The only
relief will come through the success of
the Democratic paft' and the only
thing that will insure the. success of
the Democratic party will be a return
to tariff reform as the PRINCIPAL issue
OF the campaign.
We like the incisive directness OF
that sort of talk, and the country
should know more of the man and be
able to size him up correctly. What
his own people think of him is plainly
evident by the fact that he has twice
as an old-fashioned Democrat, carried
his State, the last time by an In
creased majority, although Roosevelt
had a plurality of 100000 in, 1904, and
the State has somewhat confirmed
habit of giving the Republican tickets
all the majorities that any one could
possibly desire. That is the sort OF
Democratic warehouse he is, and that is
the way his home people believe in and
honor him. He should let out and let
the entire country know more of him
We do not mean that he should go out
on a self-lauding canvass of the States

day. made in the East. preferably
would give the American people op-
portunity TO know what there is in
him how broad and strong he is, and
what may be expected of him. His
tariff talk sounds good, and leaves the
impression that he could talk with
equal enlightenment on the other ques-
tions that must be considered in the
near future Let him expand a little

NV life is a habit One duh routine

NV life is a habit. One duh routine
Of working. eating. sleeping, working,
eating, sleeping"
Truthfully there Is nothing so dull as
only working, eating. sleeping. And
so far the morose man was right.
But this man was laboring under Q
delusion that working, eating. sleeping
was the zenith of all earthly ambitions
and the kind Of pleasures II brings.
When work Is made a pleasure then
II ceases to be work and Is recreation.
When one is not thankful for the boun-
tiful supply of food on his table. then
he is not as well of as the poor peasant
who sincerely thanks God for the crust
Of black bread between him and star
vatfon And sweet are the dreams Of
him who is thankful for a shelter and
bed b Sos to rest hiR5eif after hard days
There are many good things in life
that the millionaire does not perceive
as he goes hurting along the highway
In his ponderous auto. And these Same
things are the ones that make the poor
man happy.
Because there is a real pleasure in
winning ones daily bread a pleasure IN
having responsibilities and duties. The
good things of life are within reach
of all.
We cheat ourselves of the good
things of life by not recognizing them.
For the only good things that are the
fruit of heaven, won by sacrifice and
the price of being good to others AMI
thankful to God"

it is known that those who are
interested in sidetracking Bryan have
agents at work in various parts of the
country sounding sentiment on the
feasibility of nominating a brand new

gagged a writer or considerable promi-

Presidential qualifications of Senator
Charles A Culberson of Texas. Within
a few weeks a series of articles will
appear in certain Eastern Democratic

say that If this charge against the
steel trust Is true its officers should be
hanged, though. unhappily. there is no
legal method by which this can be
done"
These are grave charges, and the
remedies proposed by our contempo-
raries are decidedly drastic in their
suggestiveness, and yet 1t must be adj
mitted that II the charges are true
there should be punishment which in
some measure will fit the offense. And
1t does seem that there should be some
method of arriving at the truth The
allegations are too serious, and are
made by authorities too high and re-
liable to be lightly set aside or passed
by without notice. The Steel Trust, to
say nothing of others, has enough sins
at its door relating only to dollars and
cents, but the charge is made that for
no better reason than the accumulation

both life and property. and the truth
should be known andN the offenders
punished. If there are no laws to fit
the case they should be enacted and

Governor Conner. during the cerc-
mony of laying the foundation stone OF
the new hall of the University of Ala
bama, called upon the men of Tusca-
loosa to strike hands with him In
breaking the chains of Jurisprudence.
The Governor did not tell his auditors
what he means by the chains of juris-
prudence"
Jurisprudence is the science of right
in accordance with positive law. One
authority illustrates the difference be-
tween morality and Jurisprudence as to
tween the word right when used as an
adjective and when used as a substan-
tive. When left to individual inter-
probation right may take on the APP
pearance of wrono. and 1t would be a
bad day for Alabama If the interpreta-
ton definitely given Jurisprudence
were abandoned The Governor stands
for certain measures affecting corpor-
atoms on which he obtained the sup
port of a majority of the people of the
State, but the Governor in his idea of
right would go further than the ma
jority of the people intended If juris-
prudence did not exert a controlling
influence. 1t is one of the safeguards
of our system of government Rail-
roads and other foreign corporations
investing their money in Alabama and
largely contributing to the upbuilding
of the State, have the right to expect
that the system of government under
which they operate Will continue to
follow the principles set forth in the
of the government would be an official
act of injustice toward such corpora
lions, which would work to the lasting
injury of the State.
