1nar so RvrRYwHrRE.

The Leavenworth Post has q level
head. "The country" it says. seems
to be legislation wild. Every politi.
clan, from the President down. realizes
that grave harm has been done the
mercantile interests Of the United
states by fool legislation and yet the
politicians are now franticalIy attempt
ing to cure the malady by giving tina
public q dose Of the same medicine.
When a business man becomes i'll he
doesn't want q lot of old women run
ming about with tea and poultices, and
the business interests of the United
states don't want treatment in their
present trouble from q lot Of old go
men" with new banking laws, railroad
laws, etc"
II is all true, and the disease is al
most universal. We in Alabama have
had what some would probably call ian
elegant sufnciency" of this kind of me-
characterization. They have tried to
cure by legislation all the real or sup
posed ills Of humanity. physical. mental
and moral. But we don't feel lone
some. not a bit of it. The craze for re-
pressive, suppressive, impressive
corrective legislation has swept
the land, and nothing could be dom b.
bow to 1t and await with confidence the
rat,rn Of sanity.
That time is bound to come some day.
The pendulum always swings back
when 1t reaches the extreme point of its
motion, and we hope the limit has been
reached in this respect. There is dan
ger, however. that 1t may swing too far
the other way. The people and the
lawmakers may be so impressed with
the evils Of over-legisiation that they
will enter an era Of under-legislation
Not that that might be an unmixed evil.
Fewer laws properly enforced might
be better than statute books loaded
down with useless laws--laws that no.
body wants enforced and many OF
which cannot be made effective. Per-

who were expected to take part in it

It ought to be very generally under

present tarin and the need for reform

ter. The men who want semi-national
conferences are rpakins the mistake of

Bryan Is making the mistake of min

there are differences. The silver issue

PUBLICITY BUREAU
BY LIQUOR INTERESTS

Evidences that the liquor dealers
and their allies are preparing to make
an aggressive campaign against the
Anti-saloon league is found in the fact
that q publicity bureau is being or
ganized under the management of w.
r. Wadsworth, a newspaper man
well known in this city and in ALI
ance. 1t Is said that an appeal will
be made to the taxpayers of the coun-
ty and that the arguments which will
be used against voting the county
dry will be strictly commercial and
economical and will appeal most
strongly to the man of affairs and
those whose capital is interested in
a business enterprise.
1t could not be learned whether the
liquor men expected a local option
vote in this county this fall or not
but there is no question but that they
intend getting ready for any campaign
that might be made.

and other filth is scattered over the

complaints were again made Monday

the residents in that locality some re-
lief if possible. He says that the hay
wagons in great numbers are driven
to this place and that at times the
streets are blockaded with them. The
city scales are located at this place
and the outfit and teams of the street
department are also kept here. The
mayor says that he will insist that

ing the streets of the city.

RlIANPIJS
At Chicago Being Kicked
up For Fell Purpose
Thinks Teddy
AFRAID FOR POLICIES

Washington, June Sin the opin-
ion of the white house, the rumpus
which the allies are raising at Chi
cago over the contested seats is mere
ly a play for position in order to get
enough reactionaTy representatives
on the committee on resolutions to
modify the endorsement of the Roose-
welt policies in the platform. The
administration leaders here believe
that there is only now one important
matter to be adjusted at Chicago and
this is the platform in which the big
feature will be the enthusiastic en-
dorsement of the presidents policies.
The disposition here would be to
laugh at the howls Of protest and
threats to make trouble in the con-
vention which the allies emit every
time the committee seats Taft dele
gate, but for the belief that back of
1t all is shrewd purpose. 1t is
thought the allies are making a row
in order to be bought off in the inter-
est of peace and harmony.
what they want" said high ad-
ministration official today, "is to COM
promise the contests by getting their
men on the committee on resolutions.
The thing now to look out for is to
see that only tried and true men go
on that committee
Apparently the administration still
feels that an attack is to be made
upon the proposed endorsement Of the
Roosevelt policies, and this would be
guarded against on every hand. The
movement to force a declaration
against infringement on the power of
Che courts which has been started by
New York attorneys is looked upon at
the white house as another effort to
embarrass the unequivocal endorse
ment of the Roosevelt policies. There
will be something about the courts
IN the platform but it was stated pos
itively today that the draft submitted
by Messrs. Butler, Andrews, Bliss,
Choate and others will not be incor-
pOrated into the Chicago document.
The platform will uphold the courts
and deplore attempts to shake pub
lie confidence in them, but the word
ing will be so different from that of
the resolution drawn up by the New
Workers that they will get no chance
70 claim the authority of it. The
whole thing is looked upon as a move
to handicap the president in his ef-
forts to get an anti-injunction law.
