 Daniel has come in; so has Murphy, and likewise Ridder. Watterson, who used to paw the earth when Bryan's name was mentioned, is now using hurrah type to express his joy over the nomination. There stands, however, a giant figure in the background, tall, cold, proud, like some ancient stone tower. overlooking all history. Silent. too Not a word. But that awful mien; that thoughtful brow; that mas sive, firIn-set chin, as if carved in granite. Old Democracy's self is per sonified in that man. The storms have beaten upon him, but he has not moved, The thunders of passion have crashed about his head. but his eye has kept its serenity. While the party has wandered into the wilderness. dIsre. garding him and his advice, while 1t has slowly and painfully made it's way through bog and mire, over desert and mountain, until finally 1t found the road back home. he has stood there the silent, inevitable judge, the living reproof, the type of political last judgment. Even now, he says nothing. He has no illusions. He never had any. He has no revenges, either. Will the party ever come to a recognition of him again? We hope so. We have seen the party that Intentionally ig- nored Cleveland in 1900. come to praise Cleveland in 1908 Who knows but there is yet day for the great Ken tuckian, who Is the present times ''noblest Roman of them all"

SERVICES REWARDED
JOHN ID. PATTERSON. yR-, GOES 4
 STEP HIGHER UP.
Younx Man Who Was Employed by Raiiroad Commission is Made As- ssstant TrafFlc Manager of
 southern Express Company.

The numerous friends of John D. | Patterson. Jr.. who has for the past l year been connected with the Railroad | Commission of Alabama as special tarifr expert, will be glad to learn of | his promotion to the position of as-
 sistant traffic manager of the. South
 ern Express Company. headquarters in | Chattanooga. Tenn. Mir. Patterson was
 advised yesterday of his appointment. The change will probably be effective | August 10.
 The distinction conferred upon a man of so few years as MT. Patterson l is tribute to his skill and executive ability. His friends in and out of Montgomery had considered that his coming to this city in the important capacity created by the Railroad Com
 mission was in the nature of pro motion. They are now glad to know
 he has taken a still higher step in the rate-making world.
 Mir. Patterson's experience has been almost wholly in the railroad busi- ness. In later years particularly he has been engaged in freight traffic work with several south eactern lines. His career began back as early as 1894. when he started in the employ of the old Southern Railway and Steamship Association. Later he join ed the tariff forces of the Southern .
 When it became necessary. operat- ing under the new laws of Alabama. for the Railroad Commission last year to secure help for compiling the tar iffs of railroads Mir. Patterson was offered the position. He readily ac- cepted the offer and his work of a little more than a year seems to have given, high satisfaction.
 In the course of his work on, the railway tariffs. MT. Patterson had oc- casion to compile express tariffs. In this way and by his routine associa- tion with officiais of. express com panies in general his fitness became known to the Southern Express Com pany. His appointment followed yes terday.
 MT. Patterson will remain in Mont gofnery until his successor has been named. He expects to leave. how ever, by or before August 18th.

MONEY FOR HIGH SCHOOLS Towns Pledge S473,OO0 for High Schools. STATE WILL GIVE $62,oOO For Schools Located in Thirty-0ne
 Counties. Eight Counties of Alabama Have No Towns Bidding for . Hish
 sehooI--dontgomery Is
 Among Them,

When the High School Commission last week located the sites of high schools in the counties of Clay, Gull. man. Dallas and Chambers that busy body had completed about two-thfrds of It's work of selection. Of forty. eight counties in the State then enti. tied to high schools, thirty-one had re. ceived official notice to proceed with the erection and preparation of high schools for occupancy as soon as pos sible.
 By a resolution passed at a recent meeting of the Commission, the au- fhorities in those counties which have pledged the construction of a new building may start the high school work in temporary quarters as early as October l. The provision is added that all such new structures must be completed for occupancy not later than April 1, 1909. Sufficient bond to guar antee compliance with the terms of the Commission must be furnished.
 As an instance of the wide awaken ing throughout the State on the high school idea, those thirty-one counties in which the schools have been estab- lished have pledged in property and building or other expenditures a total of $473,o00. This has necessitated an expenditure on the part of the State of only s2.o00 annually to each county for the help or maintaining the tnstt- tutions, or a total disbursement in thirty-one counties of $62,000.
 In accordance with Section 1881 of the Code of 1907, County High Schools can not be established in those coun- ties of Alabama in which. there is al- ready established an agricultural school, a Normal School for white peo- pie, the Polytechnic Institute. the Uni- versity of Alabama, or the Industrial School for White Girls. or a high school free to all the children of the county, until after high school has been es- 1ablished in all the other counties. This necessarily exempts nineteen counties from high schools at present, and these counties are as follows:
 Baldwin, Blount, Calhoun, Clarke, Conecuh, Dale, Fillmore. Hale, Henry. IauderdaIe. Lee, Limestone, Marion, Marshall, Pike. Shelby, Sumter, Talla- dega and Tuscaloosa.
 There are sfxty-seven counties in the State and hence only forty-eight Of them are eligible immediately for Coun- fv High Schools. Of the seventeen counties in which high schools have not been located, eight have no appli- cations and they are as follows:
 Bullock, Butler. Greene, Jefferson, Mobile. Montgomery, Randolph and Russell.

That Editor Neil Must Come Back to
 Earthly Things.
 The editor sat on 4 broad gallery overlooking the placid Alabama river a lew nights since. The day had been strenuous throughout, closing as the ferable heat, but as the moon rose from pehlnd the tall trees far away to the southeast the oppressiveness that had marked the closing hours of day gave way to pleasing breezes that luiled the heart and mind to peacefulness.
 The hour was nearing midnight and not Q cloud obscured the glory of the effulgent orb riding at it's fullness in the heavens. From somewhere back into the city came the faint harmony ot 2 band of serenaders. The strain th 8f ths ss VI violin; the twang of the guitar. ed the ear and seemed to be a sweet accompaniment to the calmness of the night and the thoughts of the half dreamer. Out on the bosom of the river rippled a thousand nioonbeafns that danced in joyousness as the waters flowed gently along. Ever and anon the dip of oars sounded as some returning man and maid from a moon light row came into sight
 It was night divine. and the dream ST whose day had been anything but seductiveness of the environment and banished every care. Gone was the heat of the day; vanished the thoughts perplexities; out of mind the linotype,s click. out of sight the green shaded light focusing Its electric glare on typewriter and desk and far away the demands of butcher, ths baker and the candle-stick maker" Just the goodness of God, the delight of living, the happiness of being loved and lov- ing, the possession of friends true and tried, the gift of health and strength What matters all else anyway?
