Alabama Democrats
Repudiate Convention

The state executive committee OF
the Alabama democracy met last
week and by an overwhelming major
ity repudiated the proposition to hold
state convention for the nomination
of supreme court justices, the election
OF national delegates, and the adopt
ion OF state platform. ~
Alabama democrats will now do
just what Florida democrats have
found so isfactory-nominate all
candidates and elect all party officers
and representatives by direct vote OF
,--e members of the party.
Moreover, Alabama democrats. like
Florida democrats, do not see the ne
cessity OF holding convention for
the adoption of a platform telling
them THAT they want. They know
what they want already and their
delegates elected directly by them

The assurances of support which
Hon. John S. Beard is receiving from
all sections of the state in his candi-
dacy for the United States senate
are extremely gratifying to his friends
everywhere. Mr.. Beard has for years
been advocating and battling for those
great re4orm principles which have
now taken such hold on, the public
conscience and if the people appre-
ciate good service and loyalty to both
principle and party they will reward
this able and militant democrat by
electing him to Tue Office to which he
aspires.

under lease and contract like the Off
GERS and directors Of an oil tank line
system or life insurance company.
But when we have Strengthened out
the financial system, other ills and de-
fects of government will still make
possible conditions under which men
may be thrown out of work and may
starve in consequence. These Ills and
defects will have to be met and over
come as they are seen, and it will re-
quire many generations of the best
thought and wisdom before a perfect
system of government can be evolved.
The man who asked the question.
however, was probably actua.ed by a
present condition and what he wanted
was not a theory as to how, two or
! three thousand years hence, we may
be able TO secure a system of govern
nlent which will prevent a man from
starving to dea-h because he can't get
any work to do, but what man out
of work today is going to do to keep
from starving.
We confess our inability to answer
this question, but we have long held
to the opinion that as long as such
conditions are possible under the gov
eminent, the government itself should
make provision for the man who wants
work and can't get it. There is always
an abundance of public work to be
done. In times of financial depression
when men lose their places in private
employment, the municipal, county,
state, and national governments then
have opportunity to take this overflow
of labor, provide a minimum wage
scale for it, utilize it upon public high
ways, waterways, buildings. &C., and
let it go as soon as the demands of
private industry call for it.
A plan OF that kind would prevent
any able-bodied man from going hun
cry because he could not get job,
and the pay would, at the same time,
be so small that no man would remain
on pubic work after it became pos
sible for him to get work elsewhere.
1t would also possess the other adj
vantage of enabling the government
to secure its public works at min
imum labor cost.
There are many sides to the discus
sion Of such a question as this and we
TRUST that if our pastor friend discuss
es it he may be able to do so to better
effect than we have done. We assure
him that 1t is a perfectly proper sub
ject for pulpit discussion, and we ven
ture the opinion that if pastors gen.
orally would give more time to those
concrete conditions and problems
which involve the present misery or
happiness of mankind than to the dis
cussion of people and events which are
shrouded IN the mysteries and tradi
tions Of antiquity, applying to these
present-day problems the moral teach
ing of Jesus of Nazareth, they would
have larger congregations and their
work would be more largely appre-
ciated.
What people OF today are interested
in are the things of today, whether
il be how TO prevent financial panic.
how to get work, or how to keep from
starving, and if the pastors would dis
cuss these questions of their own time
as Christ discussed the questions of
his time, the pulpit would WELD
wider influence than it can hope TO do
otherwise.

a heightened gen .leman. He has twice

for governor. and during all this po-
litical turmoil he has come out with
out a blemish or stain against his

Mays In Madison.


The announcement by the Hon. D.
Fl. Mays. of Mon icello, of his candi-
dacy for congress in this, the third
district, will in all probability add life
to a campaign in Madison county
which has dragged along thus far
without the semblance, of enthusiasm.
Mr.. Mays by becoming a candidate for
this position increases the number of
aspiran's to five, they being Messrs.
j. Walter Kehoe and Chas. H. Laney,
Of Pensacola. J. F. c.. Griggs of Apala-
chicola, ]. D. Stevens of Mariana, and
Mr.. Mays. The last announced candi-
date is a native, we believe, of this
county, but has spent the greater part
of his life in our sister county, Jeffer-
son. He has many relatives still citi-
zens of Madison county and scores of
friends who will put their shoulders
to the wheel in aid of his candidacy.
Mr.. Mays is well known throughout
the district and stands high as a gen.
tleman of honor and integrity.-Madi-
