 BACK TO BARBARIsM.
Justice Brewer Says Curking Courts .
 Step Toward It..

Sustfce breWer says Curbfug COurrs
 Step Toward It.
 Worcester (Mass.) Special.
 Associate Justice David J. Brewer of the United States Supreme Court fin address at Clark College commence ment here today, declared that the re- straining power of the court of equity should be enlarged and not dirnin- ished," and that to restrict this power of the court it Is "step backwards toward barbarian
 The injunction has become q poiiti- cal question and a topic of heated de- nunciation There never was time in the history of the nation when the full restraining power of the Equity Court was of so much importance to the na- ton. As the population becomes more and more dense and activities increase. the restraining power of the Equity Court is worth vastly more than the punishing power of the Criminal Court. It is in line with the highest thought of the day. We aim to stay the epidemic and not to cure the ravages of the dis ease after 1t has gained headway. We strive to stamp out vice in the slums, not by driving out the residents, but by letting in light and air and the com forts of civilization. To restrict the restraining power of the court Is a step backward toward barbarism in- stead of a step forward to higher civ- iliZation. Courts make mistakes in the granting of inJunctions; so do they in other judicial action.
 T know that labor organizations are especially energetic in claiming that the power of the injunction Is used mainly against them. Of course, this Is not true. 1njunctionS are granted against all sorts of persons and organ izations every day In the year. Look at the acts of violence and strife which have been checked or prevented by this that the power ought to be used against capital and corporations and not against labor. The restraining power larged and not demolished and the tu- diclary improved until all the people will be assured that the power is only used when necessity requires and the restraint imposed only when justice de- mands."

There was much of the made to or. der business at the Republican con- vention in Chicago. The platform was in every essential feature just as 1t left the hands of President Roosevelt the only extensive curtailment being in the extravagant words of praise of the President himself. There was too much of that for even 6 convention of men selected for the express purpose of taking orders from the big stick. The extreme antirinjunction clause of the original ,dtaft was also turned down. The greatest farce of all was the forty.five minutes of bowling over the mention of Roosevelt's name. To the credit of the delegates 1t can be said that very few of them took any part in the foolish proceeding. That kind of business was left for the peo- pie in tne galleries and most of them no doubt were there for that particular purpose.

 Coffeevilie, Ala, June IT, 1908. Editor or The Advertiser:
 II the teachers would express their opinion freely through such a medium as The Advertised. believe our schools What ao my colleagues and other people think or the present method ot adopting toxt booksy l think it can De amended and Improved. I believe. before 2 change ts made in the text books. the teachers should be permit ted to criticize the old books and to make suggestions as to new ones to be adopted, Tor they are the ones who know the merits and demerits of the books taught. and doubtless you would be surprised by the unanimity of opin- ion in some eases.
 It seems to me that the best talker is likely to get his company's books adopted by the Commission under tho present system, provided the members have had no previous knowledge of the book. and lkely not single book will be adopted (that is new book) that all the members have either studied or taught. What have others to say? Gunnels in his effort to get better County Superintendents. I believe q great majority of the public schoo, teachers heartily endorse these efforts This is a very important office. bu. there are more dead heads who do practically nothing but sit In their of iices and pay out the States money than almost any other place of public trust today. l do not say this so much to the discredit of the men who hold these offices. for we have some excel- lent men in some of these places. but the people do not demand more of them. Such an important work should occupy one mans entire time and at- tention and he should be paid enough to give 1t these.
 Yours for better Schools.

It seems to have been quite an easy job. after all. for the Republicans to get a Vice Presidential candidate. and so far as appearances go. it was not necessary to lasso him.

 The Republican party is for protec- tton, no matter what 1t may say to the contrary in its platform. A record of twelve years shows how it stands on that issue.

 Now that our dear friend and Rep resentative has been laid to rest wish to ask the people of Shis district where they can find a better successor to the lamented Wiley than our towns man, W. F. Vandiver? For several years MT. Vandiver has been represent ing Alabama River interests and has made many able and earnest appeals before the River nd Harbor Commit tee. No man Is better informed as to river and rail transportation and rates. matters of vital concern at this time. He enjoys the confidence and close friendship of Mfr. Burton. the chairman of the Rivers and Harbors Committee and can do as much in creating inter- est in and securing appropriations for our water ways and other interests as any living man. I do not know that Mir. Vandiver would even consider for "a moment the idea of going to Con- gress. but while so many are offering themselves, I thought 1t a good idea to name one who Is thoroughly capa- ble. but who has not announced for the place.

 Brewers and wine growers are com plaining of the falling off in the con- sumption of their goods in Vienna, and particularly the brewers. From figures which have just been publish ed it appears that the Viennese drank million and three-quarter gallons less of. beer than in 1908 and 10000 gall Ions less of wine. and this in spite of the fact that the population of the city increased by some 10000.
 Just about twice as much beer Is drunk as wine. there having been 27,- $500 gallons of beer consumel m tue year, against l345s.000 gallons of wine. The falling off in the quantity much greater than in the case of wine.
 The decrease is due so much to depression in trade and consequent re- duction in spending capacity of the working classes.

Pensioners. A Ah

Editor The Advertiser:
 After reading what was said in The Evening Journal as 10 pensioners, an old Reb, who Is now in his Fist year, remarked: That he was loser under the new law" He said: That as a Fourth Glass pensioner, he should have received, (under the old law, on the lst of october, 1907. $50, but under the new. law he only received. $I2.B0, $17.50 less than he should have re- cefved; he again, on the 1st of Jan uary, 1908, received $12.50; still mak- ing it $5 less; and again on the lst of April. sl2.5O, making him s7.5O ahead, and with the S5 promised on the 1st of July he will be $1250 ahead, making S42.50 In all four payments. Now on the old basis, or under the old law, he would be entitled to $3O more on the Ist of July, 1908, which would have given him. the use of seO in actual cash instead, Of $42.50. He further says if each one of the LOUD new pensioners were allowed as much as $l00 each 1t would only amount to $10O,000, or about one-fourth or the additional appropriation. He can't un- derstand the figuring as being bene- hcial to old Rebels and thinks they are being paraded about the State for political purposes and used as the monkey used the cat in order to pro- cure the chestnuts.

Would Be Fitting.

To The Friends of Col. A. A. Wiley: What could be a more fitting tribute to be paid by those of us in the Sec ond District. who loved Colonel A. A. Wiley, (and we all love him. than to tender to his beloved brother, Hon. O. c. Wiley, or Troy, Pike County, the short term of Congress from this Dis trict? When this suggestion was made at Montgomery after the funer- al ceremonies, it met with such af- fectionate and unanimous response that the writer takes the liberty Of pre- senting the matter to the friends of Colonel Wiley Tn the District in this manner.
 No one would be so we'll equipped to carry out the policies which our dear friend Colonel Wiley had in mind. 0. c. Wiley was with him in his last ill., ness, was his constant adviser and counsellor. No man IS more worthy of this honor than O. [. Wiley. He would represent the District ably and well . If his deceased brother could rave a voice, he would say nothing would please him more.
 There are abundant precedents for this suggestion. Recently in Georgia, noted Congressman died. and the short term was given by unanimous consent to the deceased Congressman 2 son.
 Let us confer with the candidates for the long term and 1t is believed that they will unanimously endorse this suggestion
 Yours respectfully.

mentioned. One of the members of
the committee remarked that during
the meeting not a single contest would
be decided in favor of the allies. The

Hooks for the South.

Chicago. June It'll H. Myers of
Arkansas, W. H. Lucas of Florida and
Samuel Davidson of Texas made a
strong fight today before the commit
tee on rules against the resolution Of
fered by Representative Burke to cut
down the South's representation. They
contended that it was a grave inius-
tice to the South. Advocates of the
resolution claimed it would be a ben
eft to the Republican organizati.n of
the South in that it would encourage
members of the party to improve the
organization. The resolution pro-
yides for a representation at the ma
tional conventions on the basis of one
delegate for very 10000 population. 1t
is claimed that some of the Northern
delegates represent 10000 voters while
some from the South represent less
than 1000. The committee took an adj
journment after Herbert Parsons had
offered a substitute 10 the resolution.
