OLD TIME ORAToRY.

Would oratory like Webster's affect an audience now as 1t did in his day? is one question. Did webster,s speech es have such an effect on his audiences because of the matter contained in them, or because of the manner of their deliveryG is a second question. for the curious. The Manchester Union calls attention to a recent incident which may throw light on both queries. There was a dinner of The New Hampshire Club in New York few evenings ago at which Luther Little, also a New Hampshire man. made a speech. It att tracted very little attention or an. pIause and at the close MT. Little said: "Gentlenlen. I have repeated to you. word for word, the great speech of Daniel Webster. our greatest son. at the New Hampshire festival held in Boston in November. 1919. and not a mothers son of New Hampshire here has recognized a word of 1t t."
 No doubt these New Hampshire peo- pie, who might be supposed to be fairly we'll informed. felt chagrined when they found they had been listening to one of the greatest speeches of the greatest son of their State; listening to it not only without applause. but with out recognition. And yet, the incident seems to be pretty good reply to our second question. The speech to which MT. Little referred was delivered near ly ninety years ago. and though 1t has doNbtless been printed in many books. perhaps all of those present who had read it had forgotten it.
 The fact that the speech as repeated by MT. Little aroused no enthusiasm is taken as proof that the websterian style of oratory would not affect an audience now as it did when the great man was at the height of his power. Probably this Is true. though we must take into consideration the fact that Mir. Little could not deliver the speech as Mir. Webster would have done, so we cannot be absolutely sure that the great New Englander would not stir an audience now as he did then. But that Is only conjecture. and we are of the opinion that oratory like that of Webster. Clay and Calhoun, which so stirred audiences three 0uartors of a century ago, would not have a like ef- feet now, even from the same men. Styles and tastes in this have changed as they have in so many other things. and if one of that great triumvirate should appear in all his power before the average audience he might not have as much efeet and influence as

.sThe Coming Judgment,

Selected for The Advertiser
 God now commandeth all men everywhere to repent; because He hath appointed a day in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained" Acts xvii 30. 31.
 ''The day of judgmentw How often Is 1t on our tongues, and yet how sell dom does it influence (to any great axtentl daily IifnI
 Conscience has no more powerful ally. Bat the thought of our respon- sibility, while it does much, does not do all 1t might and ought. Were it to be the perpetual but gentle in- atrument of restraint over thought, word and deed, the contemplation of it's terrors., We would rejoice with trembling at the thought of our Lords coming to judge the worldc and also cherish the hope that our account might be given with more of joy than
 The dread of the coming judgment is not the highest motive, nor the most powerful, to keep men from offending God. Love should be the compelling, force; but even then to all thoughtful persons 1t Is solemn and awe-in- spring truth that we are hastening to the par of dread tribunal which none can evade or escape.
 each thought on which we dwell, each word we speak, each action of our lives, all we have done or leave undone, for each and all we shall have to give q true account of himself before that all-powerful and just Judge, whose verdict will be final. Thus the past, present and future all combine, by His grace, to lead us unto holiness.
 The day of judgment Hes at the root of all Scripture. Were there no judg- ment, there were no need of holiness, no need of an Intercessor, no need of Savior. no need of a Sanctifier. Men might live like devils and die like brutOs.
 Therefore to the certainty of this event the Bible bears its testimony in every age and in almost every book Of this Euoch. the seventh from Adam. prophesied: this Abraham believed; |; this Job foresaw; this Moses taught; of this David sang; on this Solomon reasoned to this Samuel and all the prophets after him referred, with more or less minuteness of detail.
 To crown it all, the Lord Jesus Him. self, the future Judge, made known all that He thought good to be revealed opening out the subject more and more. In his gospel teaching first, and then In the writings of Paul. Peter, James Bible, John closes the Apocalypse with description of that Day which can only be surpassed by the reality.
 Then let us pray that we may keep the remembrance Of that great judg- ment steadily before us, and obtain grace to prepare for it!
 For 'if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear?"

SUNDAY. MARCH g, 1908,

Some days ago this paper had some rather harsh things to say about an Ohio sehoolmistress who had driven a tack through the tongue of one of her amall pupils. and now The chatta- nooga Times comes forward with a complete denial. Tt Is worth while to remind our Montgomery contempora- ry.r 1t says. "that this story has been completely and thoroughly discredited because 1t was a wilful perversion of fact. It is worth while to correct the statement because, aside from doing the individual a gross injustice. 1t shocks the public sensibilities 70 be told that q woman, found to be qualified as teacher in a civilized community, could be guilty of so cruel and inhuman an act. The fact is she did not drive the tack in the child's tongue at all; she did. however, threaten to do so if the ..story-telling" was repeated-but she did 1t to frighten the child. It was foolish threat. with no intention of carrying it out. but 1t was not cruel or fnhuman. For the sake of her sex let us give the denial of this story the widest publicity"

"A NEW DISEASE.

A New York doctor has discovered . new human ailment which he calls the auto disease. for want of q better name, and which is in addition to sev- eral other afIiictions attendant upon autoing. About year ago." he says, "A man whom I later found to be a member of the traiiic squad stationed in Fifth Avenue at point where the gasoline fumes from the cars often choked him, came to me complaining with chronic sore throat. Ills case bafied me. Examinations showed 1t was no ordinary disease. and I con- ducted an investigation. ! found that one week after the bluecoat had been transferred to district not haunted by motor cars. he got we'll. Other small cases came to my attention ana com municated with physicians in European cities. The international investigation proved that my tentative theory was right. Some device should be used to absorb the fumes from these machines, as they endanger probably thousands of lives daily. especially those of the trafic squad policemen"
 Here. it seems, is another debt which humanity must pay by way of penalty for progress. As The Butte Inter Mountain puts 1t:
 Civilization pays dearly for every me- the race must deteriorate physically as fast as 1t advances mechanically. Whether the Divine power intended q more simple life. in which we should tion, manufacture, etc, or whether the proverbial human carelessness has made dangerous to life devices that should not IS of small IppGrtanes ; 6s every contrivance for convenience we employ carries its toll of casualties.
 It does seem cruel to think as we advance in the discoveries and improve ments of our modern civilization we are continually adding something to the list of human woes. If the Now York doctor Is correct in his theory 1t de- wolves on the medical world to find the remedy. We think we take no risk in saying that the auto has come to stay, at any rate until something better is devised. and if its use is to carry with it menace to the throats and lungs. not only of those who use it. but also of outsiders. there must be some way to protect humanity. Medical science will have to look after this new men ace that threatens us. The numerous accidents and fatalities consequent up-f on autoing were bad enough. but now 1t seems that the machine will spread a real plague in it's environs.

TIT REpBrap--AND OTHERS.

The National Department of Agricui- ture has issued bulletin in which 1t takes the position that the common red bird deserves the complete protection of the farmers of the country. It cites many experiments and investigations to show that this beautiful songster is the impiacahie enemy and destroyer of some of the worst Insect pests that in fest the farms and gardens and that the farmers gardeners and fruit grow CTS are doing themselves real service when they protect and encourage it.
 The truth Is that what is claimed for the redblrd will apply to most other birds of the country. It is only within q eomparatIveiy recent period that in- sect pests have become so universal and unbearabie. and that increase has kept pace with bird destruction. Tn
 many sections of the country one may travel the public highways. the coun- tryroads and even the woods and rare- iy see or hear bird of any kind. They have been slain indiseriminately, ruth lessiy and effectualiy. They are killed by men under the guise of sport. They are slain by the small boy under the same mistaken plea. The hand of every human being has been against them and their friends have been few and powerless.
 The result has been just what was natural and what might have been ex- pected. The old saying. When the eats away the mice will play" has been too truly verified in this matter. Their natural enemies having been de- stroyed or driven out. the insect pests have multiplied and spread as never before. until one of the greatest agri- cultural problems of the day is to find a way to protect all kinds of growing crops from their ravages. That the redbird is among the most effective protectors is shown by the bulletin aI- luded to. investigations made by the Department show that among the in- sects destroyed by this species of bird may be mentioned the Rocky Mountain locust, the potato beetle. cotton boll weevil. coddling moth. rose beetle and caterpillar. ,, .
 This list includes the most trouble some and destructive pests that infest the country, and which have increased and multiplied until they are a real menace to all classes of agricultural interests. Of late many of the States have taken up the matter and enacted laws for the protection of all insect eating birds. Like measures for forest protection this precaution was delayed until incalculah1e harm had been done; but unlike the former, this harm can be largely remedied by proper meas ures taken now. If bird destruction eeases the feathered friends will return and their return in large numbers, as will surely follow adequate protective measures. means that the insect ene- mics must depart. This Is matter in which the sentimsntaiist and the util- itarian may we'll join forces. People with any sentiment about them love the birds for their beauty and their music. and those who look only to util- ity should love them for the good they do. Instead of denouncing game laws and trying to evade them it would be the part of wisdom for all citisens to give their aid and encouragement to all laws which' aim to put an end to bird murder.

Speaking of the Taft candidacy The Hartford Times says:

The hard-headed, unemotional, care xully-calculating leaders of the Repub- llcan Party do not believe that any candidate nominated by Mir. Roosevelt and his big gang of office holders can be elected next November. They doubt the ability of Mir. Taft in particular. Go carry his own State of Ohio, with the negro voters so solidly against him. They doubt his ability to carry New York in the face of the bitter, but as yet unexpressed resentment of tens of thousands of New York Republicans at the losses suffered during the past year largely because of the destruction of business confidence to which the Roosevelt administration has so gener- oualy contributed.

 oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Oliver Wendell Holmes. IT,. one of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, was born in Boston, March 8. 1S4l. In early life he was equipped with the best advan- taRes educated and refined social en- vironment could give. He had hardly received his degree from Harvard. in 1881, when he enlisted in the goth Massachusetts regiment. When he was wounded at Antietam a year later he was a captain in his regiment. hay ing been promoted for gallantry. When he was mustered out he was a brevet lieutenant colonel. After the war Col oneI Holmes took up the study of law. and soon after was admitted to. the bar. In Boston he won distinction as a practicing attorney and as scholar, legal writer, and scientist. Prior to his appointment to the Supreme Bench in 1902 he had served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massa- chusetts.

AnarchiutIe Ravinsa.

Washington Post.
 One professional worlingman like William D. Haywood is calculated to do the cause of organized labor more harm by single stump speech than forty Federal judges could deal it with twice forty injunctions, and it is safe to predict that the political party that enlists recruits like Mir. Haywood in the coming campaign will lose votes by 1t. SGr. Haywood raises the issue between order and chaos. He defies the law. He shrieks not for revolution. but for anarchy.
 ~ This people will not tolerate any erty is better than liberty without law. The American people are de- termined to hHve both--liberty regu- lated by law There are in the saw ings banks of the United States s4.- 900. 900. 900. and this man Haywood ad- vises the workingmen who have accum- ulated this stupendous' capital to wage war on society and turn thieves The law is for labor. Capital can flee from violence. as was shown in medieval times but labor must stand and en- dure. A war on capital Is war on la hor. for capital is the employer of la bor. The old Roman who composed the quarrel between patrician and plebtan with the allegory of the stomach and the members of the human body solved all the problem of capital and labor as 1t Is presented Tn our country today {. Each is dependent on the other. They are equal partners in the business of life. He that would stir up strife be- tween them is a public enemy.
 If organized labor should accept the teachings of Haywood, society would turn back to the state that maintained when mob met mob under the antag- oniatic banners of Colonna and Orstni Neither life nor property would be safe The law would be impotent. TherN would be violence in ovcry city and town.
 It behooves organized labor, through It's accredited leaders, to repudiatc the utterances of Haywood. To em- brace, or even to brook, his rav- ings means the destruction of the labor union. There is but one safO. ty for the union. and that Is the law. Its watchword should be jus tiee equal and exact. no more and no less, for capital and labor-ample divi- dend for the one. high wage for the other
 And in connection with this The Post would suggest. In all good tenn per and fitting humility, that the pub lie mon of our country rid themselves of their too abundant stores of dema- goRy. Their violent eloouence did much to encourage the anarchistic carmagnoles of Haywood.

Very Few White Ones Down Here. CulIman Democrat.
 It was noticeable at the Republican Convention last week that only white men were in attendance. Any man who likes to pay tarin to fatten the trusts and would like to centraliEe the pow CT of government, can be a Republican now and not he ashamed of 1t. For our part we don't care If our clothes and shoes and cutlery do come little cheaper, and we still want to have a "say in our government, but we are glad to see only white men who have something at stake. opposing our views-GuntersvilIe Democrat.
 That's the kind we have in Cullman County. The Republican Party of Gull man County Is more respectable than in any other county in Alabama, for the reason that we have no negroes. When the office holders cease to dominate the Republican Party the negro will drop out of sight and those who really be- lieVe in the principles of that party can build up a formidable opposition to the Democratic Party.
 Our Mayor Is a Republican. and we have more high h-toned gentlemen in the Republican Party here than can be found in all the South Alabama coun- ties combined.
