A Plea For Henm. |. rtn4S HaraIa

The editor of The Luverne Journal advertises that he wilt take young hens on subscription or will pay cash for them. Now that's what we call an ideal country-where the egg wields . greater power than the pen and where the cackle of a hen means more to the citizenship than the flow of ora- tory from the editorial room. It means that is a law abiding communi- ty or hens would not thrive there: it means that peace reigns supreme or the good hen would have to exit. Here's success to you, MT. Editor, and may your chickens increase till their num- bers shall be like the sands of the sea.

 But Mr. Taft win TO into the Presidency with truer and more sympathefic under standing of the attitude and the aspiraftona Q xtns ruling classes of the South than any one who has ever occupied the chair. not even excepting Mir. Cleveland. He knows how they feel toward him personally. and he has had abundant opportunity of ap- praising their sentiment in respect to tie Republican party. Their expectations are entirely reasonable and modest. They do not ask him to appoint Democrats: they ask only that he will appoint respectable Republicans: They would like to have the raSeree business done away with. They would like to see aARepublfcan organization in their States with some nobier occupation than that of assembling servile delegations to national conventions and aftefwara par ceilng out tho Federal patronage to a small and compact retinue.

That AEarenxo Railroad.

NdItHbU OGEIUUEHIs
 The pemopolis Times Is straight af- ter the people of that town to build @ railroad to Linden. contending that . great deal of trade Is going to Selma which should go to Demopolis. The people of Linden and South Mareng0 should also lend a substantial aid In this enterprise and the road should be extended into Clarke County, tapping the Southern at chomasville. This would open up 2 fine territory and give Mobile and other &eep water points. No country will ever be developed as long as 1t is tied to one market as this section now is to Selma. z

In his speech at the Lincoln memo rial celebration MT. Roosevelt told the audience that they had assembled "to celebrate the one hundredth anniver- sary of the birth of one of the two greatest Americans" We are sur prised at the modesty which kept him from naming the other greatest Amer lean. but as he himself was before them he probably thought it uneces- sary to call his own name.

The Pistol Law.

The Linden Reporter.
 Our Supreme Court recently affirmed a decision of Bessemer court in which a constable had been fined for carry ing a pistol under two feet long; but shown that the biil was reported by a committee other than the one to which it was first referred in our famous former ruling, turned the defendant loose, and virtually declared the act unconstitutional by reason of the fail- ure of the law-making body to proper arises, what becomes of those pistol toters who have been sentenced since the new law went into effect.
