TEACHERS STILL AT WORK.
Dr. J. K. Powers Fails to Take Place
 on Program

Mobile. Sept 7--(SpeciaL )--Ths seventh day of the Teachers Insti- tute of the Frist Congressional Dis trict opened at Barton Academy this morning at nine O'clock and the good attendance which has marked all the session was in evidence again today. DT. James K. Powers, one of the authors of the series of arithmetics adopted for use in the public schools was expected to arrive in the city to- his subject "Arithmetic'' but he failed to arrive in time for today's session and will probabaly speak tomorrow
 Professor S. s. Murphy superin- tendent of the Mobile schools said this morning that the letter he received from pr. Powers was to the effect that he would be here September and he took 1t to mean that he would be ready to speak today so he was placed on the program but owing to his failure to arrive he will probabaly speak tomorrow.

Numerous citations in support of his interpretation of the statute were quoted by Judge Chiffon.
 The Thompson faction. he af1rmed, were attempting to usurp the privi- leges of the Davidson faction in print ing upon their ballot the words. Re publican Party" beneath their emblem. 1t was. he contended. an Independent organization and not entitled to the use of those words on its ballots.
 "If," said he, the law forbids the use by two organizations of the same emblem. how much greater the reason for prohibiting the use of the identical words by the organization in desig- hating the name of the partyf
 A Committee's Power.
 To accept as a precedent, he declared. the action of the committee of the Republican party in Alabama in 1906, when they put out no ticket and yet considered themselves as representing the party. was most dangerous. Such action was. he said. equivalent to lodg- ing in the committee the power of perpetuating itself. for year after year they could. without interruption. adopt the same procedure and continue in- tact.
 In 1906. Judge Chiffon affirmed. they were not merely derelict in their duty.
  lutely refused to do so. Under such cir cumstances 1t was his opinion that 1t devolved upon the remainder of the party or representatives. to proceed in the matter independently.
 There cannot be two Republican parties in Alabama" the Judge de- clared in concluding, and by virtue of its action in 1906 and subsequently,. the Davidson faction should be offi- cially recognized.
 Following Judge Chiffon, J. A. W. Smith took up the argument on behalf of the Davidson faction. The orgar1i- zation of the Davidson faction was effected, he stated, after 1t was de- termined that no action would be taken by the existing Republican committee. He justified the establishment of the Davidson faction by declaring that 1t was required by the inaction of the Thompson faction.
 The law authorizing the steps taken by the Davidson faction he read at length, traversing in his arguments the entire legal Held.
 He defended the mass convention and cited precedents for fits organiza- ton.
 He entered thoroughly into the dis cussion of party emblems. the statutes bearing upon their use, and sought to show that to the Davidson faction the exclusive use of the words "Repuhli- can Party" on their ballot belonged.
 The arguments of his colleague. Judge Chiffon, were repeated and strengthened by additional citations. and Mfr. Smith closed with . complete survey of all points bearing upon the case in hand.
 It was then almost o'clock, and the hearing was adjourned by Judge Sayre Mir Raukhead Of JasnAr will open the argument for the Thompson faction at 9:30 o'clock this morning.

MADE IN sWEATsHoPs.

The daintiest wraps and bonnets
worn by the children of the rich are
said to be made in sweatshops, where
the girl operators keep themselves up
on drugs under the exhausting work.
Speaking to the Catholic Womans
League in Chicago recently, Miss
Helen Todd, a factory inspector, said:
"Only the other day visited most
dreadful sweatshop in the ghetto
where I found sixteen-year-old girl
taking morphine and other drugs to
sustain her strength while she
stitched on these dainty baby's things
for twelve hours day on a heavy
foot power sewing machine. ." New

The PhiIosophy Of Tipping.

Is restaurant tipping q necessary
and incurable evil, and does it per-
haps result in benefits to the patron
that he does not appreciate? Such
would seem to be the conclusion to
be drawn from an exceedingly enter
tanning article in the current Har-
per's Weekly, written from the stand
point Of the waiter. Suppose every
waiter" says this apologist, "got a
regular salary with no chance for ex-
tras. Do you suppose he'd be jump
ing hurdles for lot of fussy people,
all kicking about better things than
they get at home? Do you think
he'd present the glad smile to those
he'd like to choke, break his neck
making everybody comfortable, and
then listen to their hard-luck stories
or more painful jokes? No, sir; he'd
serve the stuff just as he got it from
the kitchen. He wouldn't go back
and fight for tidbits and extra-hot
food He'd be in no hurry to serve
any one and pile up work for himself.
The customer would wait because the
waiter wouldn't; and probably he'd
never come back, and that's where
the owner would lose. The stupid
waiter starves. Do you know that in
order to hold good walters the cheap
hash-slinging joints have to pay
higher wages than the swell restau-
rants? There's not the opportunity
for tips in the cheap places, and the
waiter must follow opportunity like
bird Of prey. He simply has to be
clever enough to get tips, and he has
no social standing to make him bash
full. There are two methods; one is
to get them spontaneously, the other
to force them out. Most people tip
only because they're ashamed not

and has not the slightest fear.
AS we went along a rather quiet
country road Mrs. Bacon suddenly
screamed, dropped the reins, flung
her arms convulsively around my
neck, buried her face on my shout

Society Reporter at the Fire.

The regular reporter was taking a
vacation and the editor was busy in
the office, so when it was learned that
on the previous evening there had
been a fire in remote part Of the
city the young woman who writes the
society news was sent to bring in a
report of it for the paper. She came
into the Office an hour later with the
following interesting account:
quite a number of people in this
part of the city attended fire last
night at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Blank, in Thirteenth street.
Some went in carriages and buggies,
but majority walked. The alarm
was sounded about $50. and many
who attended the fire had just re-
turned from church, consequently
they were already dressed for the oc-
casion.
''Mr. Blank was not at home, being
out of the city on business, hence the
affair will be quite a surprise to him
when he returns. Mrs. Blank wore a
light percale kimono and had her
hair done up in kid curriers'.
