Clinton Hal, Hall, where he spoke was t1ronged. mostly
 When Hiiquit was introduced the crowd went wild. The audience threw hats Into the air. waved handker- en more. and stamped their feet and clapped their hands until Hilquit beg ged for silence.
 Hilquit began by saying that the candidates in the Ninth District had never occasioned him any worry. Goldfogle. the Democratic nominee. he admitted had caused him some anx- iety. and then he aroused the crowd T have addressed some fifty or more meetings like this in the last two or three weeks" he said. "and now have heard the reports of the com rades who have made a house-to-house canvass of this district These reports show that 1t Is no longer necessary to consider even MT. Goldfogle factor in the campaign in this district"
 The crowd shouted again and when 1t subsided Hilquit declared that in the Ninth District there was now only one movement. and that was Socialis- tic. No power on earth not even the combined forces of all opposing par ties can prevent our victory on elec- ton day" he declared.
 Last night Goldfogle got off his greatest argument against me. He 1 said I had two telephones-one in my office and one in my. home7-whereas | he has only one in his. ofiice. He says in effect. Vote for the man with one. and not for the fellow with two. tele- phones.

Selma. Oct. 27. 1908. Dear Advertiser: Through the columns of your pa per kindly give me some information as to what constitutes Intangible As sets of railroad companies and other corporations. Very truly.
 TT. J. w"
 The Intangible assets" of railroad and other franchise-holding corpora tions in this State are the privileges enjoyed by such corporations over and above the rights given by the State to private individuals or corporations, They are called intangible because they are not physical, and cannot he reached by the ordinary ad valorem tax on personal and real property. It is measured in Alabama for taxation by adding the entire market value nf all the stock of the corporation to the entire indebtedness of such cor poration secured by any mortgage, lien or charge upon its property and assets. and by suhtracting therefrom the assessed value of the entire real and personal property of the corDora- ton. The difference thus ascertained is subject to the constitutional tax rate of six and one-haf mills and Ia collectable in every county In which the corporation has business

Put your ear close to earth and listen to the tramp of millionsi The old Turbingsn professor tipped his hat to ragged stu dents, thinking that the future of one might eclipse hts own. And 1t was true--for among the students was Mar tin Luther! Have you never read that crahming chapter written by Doctor Hillis: .'Ths Trail Across the Mountains" The New England pilgrims had set their faces toward the Ohio and MissiFsippi valleys. then a vast Will derness-and the El Doradoes that lay beyond. The Colonel. leading the pro- cession. reached the Allegheny heights. His eye swept the land of promise. H" surveyed 1t with a prophets vision.

AaiS AoilOHihS SldteIlSht appears m The New Haven Register of Sunday last:
 The registrars of voters in New Haven had on their list the names of be made voters in this city at this time. Out of that list only 2.024 have passed the requirements and complied entitled to5vote next month. A shrink age of one-third seems too large, and is likely to strengthen the convictions the opt1fhist eoncernfng Sbes auafityy of our cttizehship i-SsY.,
 These figures, let Il be remembered. do not refer to the voters of the city who are already qualified for there are more than fifty thousand voters in New Haven. as shown by the re- turns of the last Presidential election. The Registers figures refer to those who have become of age, or who have become eitizens since the last election. and who can now register and other wise qualify themselves to vote next Tuesday. The statement shows that less than two-thirds of them have taken advantage of the opportunity and qualified themselves to vote for President and other officials in the coming election.
 The Register says, What becomes of them? and the question is a perti- nent one, not only there but elsewhere. Our contemporary can fairly account for some of them but not all. on any ground that is creditable to them. There are men who have lived in New Haven for years" it says, performing most of the other duties of citizenship, enjoying all the privileges. Some of them, it is said, are professors in the university, though that may not be true This class of dormant citizens gets some recruits from the flotsam and jetsam of the registration list. To their ranks goes the residue of those who might have been made but were large or small, it is too large. Its fig ures must seem appalling to the con scientious citizen. At any rate, the noise of the criticism of this class on the conduct of things in which they neglect to take any hand is very an moving to the citizen who is doing his full duty"
 What is true of New Haven is true of Montgomery, of Alabama. and oi most parts of the country, especially the present year. General Apathy that enemy of good citizenship. ap. pears to have assumed command of tho suffrage to a greater extent than usual and is exercising entirely too much au' thority to he encouraging. There i! always more or less of apathy on tht part of voters, both among those who are already qualified and those who arc legally entitled to qualify themselve. to vote. but there is more of it among Democrats this year than usual au( it is not a matter to be ignored Rarely has there been a year when thu duty of Democrats was palmer thai this year. or when the neglect of tha duty was less excusable.

The Real Judge Lands.

Those writers who have panied
Judge lands as a demagogue are
mistaken. The truth is that he is
as independent as Robinson Crusoe.
He has sensitive, chip-on-the-
shoulder independence. Either TO
bully or to drive him would be
equally impossible. writes II. N.
Casson in the New Broadway Mag
azlne. Several months before the
rebate trial, the American Fedora
tion of Labor tried to browbeat him
in trades union case, and he put
II to rout by series of smashing
decisions. The big oil trust was no
more TO him than rag peddler;
rather less. for the reason that he
Is temperamentally out OF sympathy
with any great structure of the busi-
ness world. And in his decisions
he cares little for consequences. Pos
slbly II some Cherokee chief ap-
peard In his court with what seemed
to 'be a Just claim on the whole
state of Illinois, Judge Lands would
feel keen pleasure in saying: Take
Illinois. my Cherokee friend, Il is
yours"
on the first day OF the trial the
trust lawyers had a glimpse of Jus
tlce, according 10 Lands, which
amazed and alarmed them. A ne
gro was brought into court to re-
ceive his sentence, Judge Lands re-
viewed the case. He told the negro
that there were several mitigating
circumstances
'I find" he said. "that you served
in the army OF the United States
for seven years; that your record
is good; that the negro women YOU
killed was quarrelsome, and was
trying to kill you" Then. when ev-
eryone was expecting light SEN
tence TO be pronounced the Judge
crushed their hopes by infllcting the
utmost limit OF the law-ten years
I in the penitentiary. The Standard
oil men shivered II this was JUS
tice to an American soldier, they
thought, what could a captive trust
expect from such an off-with-hi'
head sort OF a Judge.
