people and got the business houses
to close for two hours Saturday after
noon. AS it was right in the begin
ming of the holiday trade it was
something that all business men
would not do. They attended the
meeting themselves and did every
thing else they could to make the &C.
ASSIGN a pleasant and profitable one.
And the beauty of it all was that 1t
was done so heartily that not a speck
of self interest was visable anywhere
These fellows are entitled to the best

do not get big piece of success 1t
will look as if justice had slipped a
cog some where.
An Intelligent Audience.
The audience was composed of an
Intelligent, we'll dressed class of peo-
pie, and it was difficult often, to tell
whether man was farmer or bust

social feeling among the people, and
it was still more difficult to separate

day. Wustnu's hall was packed with
interested people and the speakers

The Danger of Socialism.

The one danger that most business
men view with horror is socialism, the
idol that has wrecked one republic
after another and that crouches today
like an incubus upon the neck of Aus
tralia. The strongest argument for
government ownership, the argument
of despair, is that state ownership is
the only relief from graft. The man
who is doing more for socialism, com
munism and anarchy today than any
other is the highly respectable business
man who for any reason buys lcgiSla-
ton. Graft could never exist but for
the man behind the CRATER.
The state owes consideration to the
business man. The business man in
turn owes an imperative duty TO the
state. Legislation is the business OF
the state. Citizenship IS the business
of the people. one Is the complement
of the other, and only on their com
bincd strength can arise that ideal
commonwealth in which obedience to
the law is liberty Guild Of
Massachusetts.

cd by this provision that any member should have the power to destroy the con- elusive effect of the journal kept by tho house, nor that any member might in- validate the action of the house. ln spreading his protest upon the journal the
 member exercises a personal privilege hv which he yindicates his own course and appeals to the people. The question here presented had elaborate consideration m the case of Auditor General vs. Boaro oi Supervisors, S9 Mich. 652. In that case IS members of a senate of & protssteu' with affidavits, that the law In question had been passed by the vote Of only 10 members. that Is, by less than a quorum: Rut the court held that the protest could not be looked to as qualifying the as sertions of the legislative journal. Speak ine of the protest. the court said: lt has m force as legislative action, ana cannot be resorted to to nullify legisla- tive act. It has no force as statement or fsct rontra dictinr the journal. It certain iv yas not intended that the protest should have greater weight against leg. islatiye action thanhis vote would nave.
 The protest lis on the journal, not py any act of the legislature, but by reason of the constitutional provision extending members that privilege" We may aod that so long as the protest contalneu no scandalous matter, and was respectful Tn tone the house had no right to deny the member the exercise of his privilege, no matter how ill-advised or untrue Tn fact if may have been. The supreme court or Michigan continues: ''The protest and af- f,davft can have no effect whatever, ana can no more be considered as impeaching fhe verity of the journal than would parol or other proof outside Of such jour

nal. The right to protest, and spread the same at, length upon the Journal ia given by the constitution to any member: but such protest cannot be permitted to impeach the journal entries. We have nothing before us but the journals of that body. and the assertion of a fact in a protest contradicting the record does not have the force and effect to over throw the journal of that body,''
 But, 1t Is said, 1t does not appear when the notice was published: 1t may have been years before the session of the leg islature at which the bill was passed. There must in reason be limit to the time during which published notice may be effective to accomplish the constitution al purpose. But we hardly think any serious controversy can be raised in re- spect to the notice under consideration. It contains internal evidence enough to satisfy the mind that the publication was had at time not unreasonably remote from the Introduction of the bill. The mo- tice was that the bill would be Intro duced at the next special session of tho legfslature which would convene on the 27th day of July. 1s09 We judicially know that the governors proclamation con- vening the legislature in special session on the s7th day of July, 1909, was issued a few weeks before that day. but for some weelks, as we know by reference to the current history of the times, 1t had been the general expectation that the iegisla- ture would be convened on that day. Bv the barest chance imaginable could the i, notice have been framed for any unreas- enable length of time heretofore. The

The territory Of that corpor- stion, as 1t had been, was contiguous to the city of Birmingham. The city of Ensley, and each of the municipalities named in the act and included within the limits of the enlarged city of BirInins- ham, weIl ss the last named city, were at the date of the passage and approval of the act, municipalities existing under the general law of the state.

Greater Rirminuhan1.

''The king is dead. Long live the kingp was the remark of one of Ensley's alder men who had fought the Greater Bir- mingham bill, when the news was re- ceived in Ensley this morning that the supreme court had declared the Greater Birmingham bill valid. The news spread rapidly and was the subject of much comment on the streets.
 Those who opposed the bill took the matter philosophically and with the con- sciousness of having put up a good fight are now pre1ared to accept the inevitable and will work for the harmony and uplift of the greater city, not losing sight, how ever. of Ensley's interest. They won out before the people of Ensley by an over whelming vote, they won out before the legislative bodies and until Governor Conner took hand the fight to preserve the integrity of Ensley was won. Now that the supreme court has decided the question the prevailing opinion seems to be to put the shoulder to the wheel and help to get the affairs of the greater city on working basis at the earliest date.
