generally have we in our penitentary :? Did you ever know them to adopt social- istic, or anarchistic features to their lives?
 One of MT Burnett's arguments was that these people have become mixed with the Arabic blood. They need, not become mixed. They were originally race, Semitic, and belongs to the Semitic family
 I wonder if MT. Burnett ever read Gib- bons' history of Arabia? All these as- sertions are not made in boastlng or egotistic spirit but as a defense only from what is doubtless great wrong It is somtimes argued that the Semitic lets his women work. This Is so. In this connection, however, I want to say that I have never seen a Syrian woman as prostitute in a public place and for my part I would to God that our women will remain as they are now; ignorant but virtuous and before they will condescend to sell their virtues to the highest bidder they will labor daily and earn their bread by the sweat of the browl
 In conclusion we are willing to ac- knowledge America and her people as the greatest on earth today But we are not insensible, and thank God for American liberty, and American press, that I am enabled to answer boldly any insinua- tions on my people. Indeed I have es- pecial reasons to be thankful that are not known to my American brethern. Would I have dared to say one word contrary to the views of Turkish of- ficial? Nay! I must stand up, give/ profound bow. and say Amen to every word he utters. Not so in great America!

TURRET ACCIDENT
 NARROWLY AYERTED
YOUNG LIEUTENANT RECEIVES INJURIES WHICH WILL CRIPPLE HIS HAND FOR LIFE, BUT HE SAVES THE SHIP.

New York, October 19.--That a turret tieut, similar to those on the Georgia and several other of the United States big fighting ships, was averted by the pres ence of mind and heroisn of Lieut. Will liam Piggott Cronan, has just come to light through the summoning of board of inquiry at the New York navy yard.
 According to the story, Lieutenant Cro- nan was in charge of one of the eight inch guns on the Connecticut during the recent target practice off New England. As the powder charge was thrust into the gun the lieutenant noticed that from a small hole in the bag a quantity of the powder had escaped and fallen into the threads into which the breechloek of the gun screws.
 Realizing that the breechlock would ignite the powder before the block could be firmly screwed home, causing the ep- tire charge to explode back into the tur- ret. Lieutenant Cronan shouted an order which stopped every man In the turret as he stood except the man who was clos ing the breech. He did not hear the shout and continued to swing the block home.
 Lieutenant Cronan sprang forward and thrust his hand into the breech. The breech closed on his hand, badly mangling it and caused the closing mechanism to clog. The sailor at the breech of the gun fainted when he discovered what he had done, and what he had narrowly es- capped doing. If the breech had been closed it is likely that every man in the turret would have been killed. The board of inquiry was called to- determine how the hole came in the powder bag. Lieu tenant Cronan tonight refused to discuss the incident.

STATE ID CONTROL ITS OWN AFFAIRS W. J. Bryan Speaks At Georgia
 State Fair NEW CONDITIONS ARISEN The Nebraskan Declares That Local self-Government Is Best, for It Is
 This Which Is Closest

NEW CONDITIONS ARISEN

Atlanta, October 19-William Jennings Bryan, before great crowd at the state fair today declared: "The average man wants his own state to control it's own affairs
 Since l was here a year ago." he con tinued "a new condition has been forced into the political arena. 1t is difficult to state what the paramount question of the day may be, but great new question has arisen: That is, the relative sphere of the state and of the nation. 1t is necessary that q concrete question arise before the average man becomes interested in it.
 Mr. Bryan then described recent events wherein the executive of the nation as serted treaty rights for a foreign nation over states rights in California; he al- luded to the effort in North Carolina of a railroad asserting the right to suspend law of the people; and of the recent national convention of attorneys general which adopted a memorial to Congress asking that the doctrine which Governor Glenn of North Carolina stood for be made that of the whole country by act of Congress, and asked
 What does this mean? It means that the average man wants his own state to control it's own affairs It is the asscr- ton of the sight of local self-government. That government is best which is closest to the people,
 MT. Bryan arrived in the city before ( o'clock this morning. At ii o'clock he was given an informal reception by Gov ernor Smith at the executive mansion and in the afternoon a public reception was given in his honor. He spoke again tonight at n dollar dinner given by the Young Mems Democratic league.

Mobiles Unioue Hotel,

When the handsome new Hotel Caw- thorn in Mobile was opened last year. it was conceded by the travelling public to be one of the most beautiful and mod ern hostelries in the south, but the en- terprsng proprietors were not satisfied with even it's many attractive features, and so this year they are building a roof garden story that will be unique, as there is nothing in the whole coun- try like 1t, nor anything like as attrac- tive as 1t will be. The greater part of this story which covers the whole of the large building. is devoted to a large cafe which is to be called "The Vineyard ' This splendid room is to be fitted up and furnished and decorated to rep resent a beautiful Italian vineyard. In the center will be a magnificent large porting punches of grapes containing cleo tric lights, and the fountain will spurt forth beautiful sprays of water, colored by electricity.
 The entire sides of this great room will be open in warm weather, giving a magnificent view of Mobile and the beau- tiful bay. The room Is to be artistically decorated, carrying out the Italian vine yard scheme. Besides this "Vineyard' there is to be a private dining room, called the Automobile Room for au- tomobileN parties, which will be appro- priately decorated showing landscapes with automobile parties speeding. There will be another private dining room called the colonial dining room. The contract for the decoration of these beau tiful rooms was awarded to Birminghams s decorators, the w, D.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 1 had the pleasure of listening atten- lively to the address of Hon John l.. Burnett before the Commercial club of this city on the afternoon of October IS, and regretted very much that l did not have the opportunity of making a few statements before that distinguished body, which was prevented by the lateness of the hour. Thanks to the pess that sup plies many wants that has consented to publish this article. In order to bring out the facts and essentials of this article, l am compelled to introduce myself in an eastern or biblical fashion which while out of the ordinary from a standpoint of case.
 l belong to the Semitic family of the white race, which comprised in the earliest times these people, to-wit: As syrians. Chaldees, Babylonians. Canaan ites Phoeneeians, Tyrians, Sidonians, Carthaginians and Arabians. These enumerated are now extinct and their direct descendants are the Syrians, l1e- brews, German Jews Spanish Jews, Spanish Jews Polish Jews. Russian Jews. Bedouins and Sedentary Arabs.
 So much for my origin. 1 am now an American citizen and have been since l was 2l years of age, and take especial pride in saying that no man lives who is prouder of his Americanism than I, and 1t is because that several of MT. Burnetts statements are in my humble opinion not in accordance with American principles and American ideas that have dared to write this letter.
 His objections to the criminal, filthy and diseased are my sentiments, and l believe the sentiments of every true American, but his education test and his racial diff ferences are errors of the most pro- nounced type The education test will keep out every man or woman who is otherwise good, that is to say honest. physically perfect and of good morals. Is is not un-American, unjust and un- reasonable to condemn an honest. phy sically perfect and otherwise good man. because he could not read or write? Let the great, "the good" American people answer that question?
