WILLIAM SULZER-By Savoyard

to face. Beaten by Fernando Wood sub sequently, 1t sent Wood to Congress and made of him its trusted adviser. Smitten by Tilden, it supported him for governor, and was loyal enough to elect him Presi- dent of the United States. Opposed by Cleveland, it twice made him President, and there are statistics to prove beyond all peradventure that had the rest of the party been as loyal as Tammany, Cleve- land would have been reelected in 1888, and that would have established the Democratic party in power for 40 years.
 Sulzer entered Congress in 1895, when Cleveland was President and Reed, speak CT. He was not unheralded for he had been a great, and better to the purpose, an honest political force at Albany. Not great orator, like Cochran or Fellows, he is ready, an aggressive, a forcible public speaker, formidable in debate and intrepid in his cause. There is no non sense about that, for there is no man In either house of Congress, not even Ben Tillman-who would sooner vote alone than William Sulzer.
 It will be recalled that some fifteen years ago the government of Russia im- posed cruel hardships on the Jewish sub jects of that despotism, and the story of it reminded-of the Babylonish captivity or the Egyptian slavery, but this, the greatest of the races, found in Sulzer champion in their need, and his efforts in
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-02-14

their behalf were as persistent as the blood of his fathers, and, what is better, they were effectual.
 Later he was one of the fathers of the Spanish war, and I do not hold that as much to boast of, for it was as unneees- sary as it was unchivalrous to fight poor old Spain over a lot of worthless folk in Cuba but the country indorsed the war, and will foot the bills in pension appro- priations four score years hence. Sulzer was conspicuous in the debates, and may well claim as much credit as any one individual for forcing the Mckinley ad- ministration into actual hostilities, much against the inclination of the President, and much against the will of the Speaker, also.
 A Democrat in instinct, in principle, in his daily walk and talk, Sulzer is always reqular. He looks like Henry Clay, but paradox that it is, he is not half so ugly and not near so handsome as the great Kentuckian. Sulzer is also a magnetic man, and that is how it comes that he stays in Congress from Republican dis trict. His is a warm handclasp, and when his palm comes in contact with that of the humblest man or woman he or she feels that here is "a friend to sym pathize with me. That is what makes him invincible among that folk-the un-

This town is altogether too near Japan" Whether the preachers criticism had any influence in producing a reform I am not prepared to say; nor do I know whether the thing criticised by him had anything to do with certain other social phenomena which are often witnessed in that and in other southern and western towns. Some of these phenomena I have often thought upon. but have never been able to ex- plain.
 Why is 1t that the "gentlemen of elegant leisure,' that is to say, the loafer. almost always keeps his hands thrust into the pockets of what William L. Marcy used to call his neither garment?" Tn the western town already referred to l was once walking on one of the principal streets, with a bright boy, when we came to a corner at which group of men were gathered They were simply standing there, with nothing to do. My companion said: Now, I'm going to count those men, and see how many of them have their hands in their brooches pockets" He stopped deliberately counted the crowd, and reported: There are 20 of them. and IS have their hands in their pockets"
 Why is 1t that men who have nothing to do seem to gravitate toward a livery stable? In some towns the livery stable

acknowledged that he has explained some things, the causes of which l had never even thought of seeking. I never knew why l laughed until l read his discus sion of$the causes and the process of laughter.
 It is exceedingly desirable to learn the causes of things. especially if we wish to produce or to suppress those things And it may be worth while to ask the causes of certain phenomena which we frequent ly witness, and have never had explained upon any system of philosophy with which we are acquainted
 James Madison was a small weak frail man physically. At times he weighed only 90 pounds. During his last illness two of his neighbors visited him separately at Montpelier, and a few days afterWard they met at. Orange, and agreed in the opinion that MT. Madison was failing in mind, as well as in body. They said as much to Justice PhilipfP. Barbour who was passing along the street, and asked his opinion. The judge replied: T vis- ited him a day or two ago, and 1 thought that 1 had never seen so much mind in so little-matter in all the days of my life, and if his mind is failing there Is so much of it left that l have not mind enough to preceive the failures" Now, why should two numerous have imagined that they

this quarrel, and always on the side of the man who counts his weekly wage and against the man who marshals his quarterly dividend. That is a natural sentiment that possesses every one of us who is for the under dog in the fight, and Sulzer is always for that man.
 Most of his speeches in Congress have been in behalf of labor; all his efforts in his work in the departments have been directed in that end, and not since the sun of heaven first cast its rays on our republic has 1t had a servant who was more energetic, vlgilant or persist ent in that work.
 I suppose Sulzer has life lease on his seat in Congress. He ought to have. He is the dean of all northern Democrats in public life at this capital. To some he seems a little too enthusiastic. To all he is an earnest, able, conscientious man.
 Whether he shall be put forth for mayor or governor. he Is as strong a man as can be named by the Democracy for either position. And I, that write this never spoke to Bill Sulzer in my life; never got favor of him.
 of him.
 It Is only the habit I some time ago ac- quired of saying of a man what I see
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-02-14

affected conduct and the transparent fel- w-feeling of the man.
 Sometimes, oftentimes, this is put on by your politician, and for that fellow I have not been slow or mealy mouthed in the expression of my contempt; but in Sulzer's case it is spontaneous; nat ural, and commands my admiration after a close observance of him for years.
 The two great elements of industrial America are capital and labor They should always be friends. but all too fre- quently they are enemies. Neither can possibly prosper without the aid and CO., operation of the other, and there is no truth in physics more inevitable than the fact in economies that the shop in which the wage is either too low or too high must close. A fair wage for labor and an adequate dividend for capital these, and these only, can make indus trial peace, but who the devil knows what iss fair in one case and "ade- auate" in the other? And that is what all this row is about We do not know that some of us have not been given our share, and we also do know that some of them have got more than their share.
 And that is the way Bill Sulzer looks at it. He is a man with an exquisite sense of justice, and he hates mean ness like the naughty Henry Clay hated it, and so Bill Sulzer has jumped into

is the most fashionable resort for con siderable bodies of men. They do not go on horseback, nor in buggies, to have their horses fed. They do not hire horses nor buggies, but walk to the stable. and at dinner time they walk from the stable. They do not trade in horses. l wish 1 could explain the attraction; but l can't. Can anybody enlighten us? "Come, your reasons, Jack, your reasons"
 I know a grave and sober deacon-a grandfather in Israel-who expressed serious dissatisfaction with a young member of the church for riding in tournament; and that same deacon could be seen at John Robinson's cir GUS. Can you explain that2s
 Other deacons who are greatly exer- cised about the girls who cannot be kept from the german" will them selves go to the minstrel show; see white men black themselves up to rep resent negroes, and hear them utter language of which the negro bootblack on the street would be ashamed and at the same show will be the daughters of "the best men in the church, in full dress" that Is to say, dressed so lightly. and tightly and whitely and slightly" as to make one marvel at the meaning of full" The explana tion of this is beyond my philosophy.

the house. The daily papers. for which you ubscribe. are filled with glowing accounts of horse races, theatrical per formances, gay actresses. and elegant saloons. We read nothing. and hear nothing at home, to counteract all these influences. Tn the home-circle and at the table, we never hear word about religion. Your talk is about money and trade, and stocks and bonds and railroads. That Is, 1t Is purely of the world and the things of the world. Now, under these circumstances. how can you reasonably expect us to be anything else than just what We ara? And the deacon's reasons were hard to find.
 For some years this scribe was pas tor of the First Baptist church Of New Bedford Mass. He was much on the streets and saw great variety of peo- pie. of many nationalities. Not few of these people were negroes. The city had population of about 10000. The people were far from homogenious in appearance, language, race, taste. cul- ture, occupation, or religion. And yet. in all my walks about New Bedford. I never saw any human being indulg ing in the luxury of loafng. Is there any connection between latitude and loafing? Who will tell? My philosophy is not broad enough, or else not deep enough to solve the problem.

No. is so worn out and discouraged that she perishes by the wayside.
 This is right where the clever wom- an steps in her shoes. The husbands spirits have been somewhat shattered by the domestic warfare, and he is somewhat humbled, does not know quite so much about bringing up a wife In the way she should go as when he married. But the main point is he has learned woman. He has learned a woman cannot keep house without money. You never hear a widower ask ing his wife what she did with money he gave her last month He has learned money must circulate
 The widower knows matrimony is no place for man who kes clubs and games of chance better than home life. That is why you do not hear of Mrs. No. sitting up at night waiting for her husband with hat pin in hand and all she will say sizzling and bubbling in her mind.
 Then, too, a widower knows when a woman gets cut of bed in the morning. on the wrong foot, kicks the cat spanks the baby, that it is clearly out of order to point her to the joys of religion and remark about the tempera- ture of peoples temper. He knows he has business right then at his of- flee and he sneaks quietly away. Ex- perience has taught him how to dodge the curves of woman's temper. and beautifully has he learned the little lesson "silence is golden" That is why everything glides along smoothly.
 That Is why widowerss marry any woman they desire, whether they are rich or poor, beautiful or homely. You know they are what the insurance com panies would call preferred risks in matrimony. Still there are always some ambitious girls who seem to be look ing for trouble and they invariably select a man who has never been mar ried but the real clever woman selects the widower, that some other woman has killed herself breaking into har- ness.
