Letters to The Editsr
ssv. .As Des..

Save the Dogs.
 Editor of The Advertiser:
 If Frederick. the Great, were living In Montgomery today the fifty dogs that have been advertised to be shot tomorrow (Monday) would be mug zled and turned loose. They would never have been allowed to have be- come ensnared in nets and driven in a hot box through a cooking sun along the city streets, to satisfy law found- ed on a superstition that dogs go mad when Sirius. the dog star. is ascend- ing. Sirius Is the brightest star in the heavens and shines 200 times as brightly as our sun would shine If set beside 1t. but 1t brought bad wealth err" not mad dogs.
 Win somebody tell us why the law keepers were so late in enforcing this very important law against our friends--the dogs?
 It would have been far better to have ordered that the dog be kept at home in his own back yard during these dangerous September days. Muz- zles intefere with the only way dogs nave of cooling Misunderstanding as 1t were: for they do not perspire as we do. and the ruzzled dog, unless he is kept cool and close to his drink ing place will be in better condition to Ego mad" than he was before this great Idea occurred to the City coui- cil.
 Lord Byron loved dogs, and erected e handsome monument to one of these pets. cowper would not count among his list of friends the man who need- lessly set his foot upon a worm. and he certainly would discountenance the la wkeepers who have advertised that they will shoot fifty imprisoned dogs that are without homes and without friends?
 Why not buy a little meat and feed these dogs for thirty days. during the panic about September mad dogs? For surely ths is no scheme to extermt- nate the common dogs of the poorer class who are not able to give the dol- lar to reclaim their unrnuzzled pets Buy meat and feed them. Give the meat dealer a chance as well as the dog -muzzle merchants.

Our esteemed Republican contempo- rary The Hartford Courant. is getting some amusement out of the political situation in Connecticut. With pleas ing sarcasm 1t declares that the prom ises of Democratic success are so bright this year that they can't get any Democrat to consent to be a candi- date for Governor. That's really too bad, and the Democrats should get up more courage and patriotism.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD
HELP THE PARTY

HELP THE PARTY The Advertiser appeals earnestly to the Democrats of Alabama to come to the aid of the party's Campaign Fund. This seems to be Democratic year. The party is harmonious and well or ganized. But money is needed. The managers of the campaign must look to the rank and file of the, party for funds Other States are responding ilberally Alabama Democrats must not be slow If every Democrat in the State would give q 1t would help nightly.
 The Advertiser believes the Demo- cracy of Alabama will do it's part. The Advertiser pledges itself to work un- ceasingly to secure the money.

 How true it is that great discoveries are often the result of accident. If you are disposed to doubt 1t, just read this item from an oregon paper and be convinced and enlightened:
 Charles Codding, of Wilmington. has a COW that established a new record the other day. She succeeded in get ting near a 2-gallon can of strawber- ries that MT. CodAing had just gath cred. after a couple of hours of Back breaking labor Of course, he was sore and angry with the. COW when he discovered that the meek-eyed. bovine had enjoyed a repast of the luscious berries that had presented visions to him of shortcake and a big. bowl of berries and cream. He stlll had a "grouch" on the next day, but smile came over his face when he tasted the milk and cream and found 1t to be of a strawberry f1avorin9 that he was never able to get at soda fountains or ice cream parlore.

when we reflect on the statistical fact that 25s pulp mills last year con- sumed within a fraction of four mil lion cords of wood we need no longer feel surprised at the rapid disappear ance of the forests of the United States. The mills from which theas figures were obtained are those operat- ed in New England, New York. Penn sylvania and the Lake States of the Middle West. There are numbers of other mills in other sections of the country which are not alluded to in these figures. and their combined con- sumption would add largely to the to- tsl stated above. How long will 1t be at this rate before there will be no more timber to consumer And yet white print paper Is scarce and high and constantly becoming more so. Ger tainly there is grave problem ahead of us.

Mr. Rockefeller speaks of the devel-

and says that the plan of selling direct

rapid growth of the business bred a
certain anita gonism which, suppose,
could not have been avoided" OF the

This was done in fair spirit and

Another thing TO be remembered
about the so called octopus is that
there has been no water introduced
into the capital perhaps we felt that
oil and water. would not have mixed
nor in all these years has any one had
to wait for money which the Standard
