OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
FROM WOMANS
POINT OF VIEW

One day a woman asked me to say
something upon the subject Of dishonesty
among boys. She thought I might open
the eyes OF a few mothers TO the danger
which seems to dog boyish footsteps In
these days OF easy morals. I did not
see the right moment till week ago,
when two boys fell into a dispute over a
game Of croquet. Apparently one of
them had attempted TO win the game
by dishonesty. and the other resented his
act.
1 have learned a good deal about boys
since I Witnessed that little scene.
have heen told stories of pilfering from
the maternal pocketbook. of trickery
with their companions, and mean little
acts in grocery stores. have had ex-
perience with their determination TO
leave no fruit upon any tree or vine
which they can reach. and l frankly
admit that I would be afraid to leave
anything unguarded which might be
tempting to the eyes Of an ordinary boy.
/ have not much tolerance for the
statement that boys have robbed ORCH
ards ever since the world began There
are countries where boys know the con-
sequences Of such acts too well to at
tempt them. and / ain a bit skeptical
about American boys with such pro-
clivities growing into clean-minded men.
There are no degrees In thieving-the line
between right and wrong IS clearly de-
fined.
There are numberless opportunities for
boys 70 make money. and the average
parent desires such earnings 20 be pat
away for future use. The dishonest boy
never tells the exact amount of his earn
ings, even when he tries 10 save and
mothers have known these things without
attempting 10 correct them. What kind
Of morals can man have when he has
been started on a crooked road?
I was witness TO a little scene in which
mother tried 20 learn where her eight
year-old son had obtained q new knife
such as farmers use for pig sticking. lie
told her several stories before she dis
covered that he had been to some sort
OF an exposition divided into departments

which he was permitted to keep after
hearing a lecture from his easy-going
mother. Is that boy likely to become
an honest merchant or n desirable en-
ploye2 1t can hardly be expected.

Corn Is the ThIDe This Year

From all parts of Alabama goes up the cry to the farmers and from the farmers themselves, plant corn" All feel that 1t is the one crop that will keep our farmers from mourning debts they cannot pay No one considers corn in Alabama a crop that can be turned into money. It is not a"cash" crop; it is a debt-avoidance crop.
 But If our farmers would accept the Williamson plan they could grow corn that would also fill their pockets, for corn is as valuable at the nearest gen. eral store as cotton is, and as things stand today our farmers can get the western price plus the freight Under the Williamson plan 80 bushels can be grown per acre, and cotton is at once put out of the running. No cotton patch can compete with corn lands that produce 80 bushels of shelled corn to the acre.
 At any rate, grow corn. Let that be the cry from one end of Alabama to the other. If you are not progressive enough to adopt the Williamson method, grow it according to the old time method, poor as it is. Buy no western corn. Boycott it. Have none of it. Alabama must get out of debt and stay out. After a while the Will liamson method will be generally adopted, and it will make our farmers contented and prosperous.

0reanjgatiOn of the House

Mir. Cannon became speaker in 1903, and he has been speaker ever since, he is to serve as speaker in the Sixty first Congress. 4Ie has been subjected to a severe rebuke from all parts of the country, not excepting his own party, and his shrewdness and his qualities as a leader will induce him, no doubt, to modify his own conduct at least to the extent of conforming on the surface to public sentiment. !.
 The vote of the House on the propo- sition to make the rules of the last Congress the rules of this Congress was significant. That vote was 1S9 ayes, 193 noes. As there are only 172 democrats in the House it follows that at least 21 republicans had the courage to vote their convictions on a matter that relates to their own freedom and power to legislate.
 The democratic minority and the in- surgents are making brave fight for more power over legislation. If they continue to stand together they will secure a consideration and modification of the most arbitrary set of rules that legislative body ever adopted in this country. It is the duty of the House at the opening of the session to deter mine it's rules, and it seems plain at this writing that the popular branch of Congress has slipped out of the hands of Joseph G. Cannon and his committee on rules.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dogs and Game Laws.
Editor of The Age-Herald:

D the EGltOr or The Age-Herald
 As there seems to be no doubt that the legislature of Alabama will be called together in extra session, at no very far time in the future, and no one seems subjects will be embraced in the call, I suggest to you, and through you to the people of our state, one subject that is at this time of vital importance to the well ping and interest of all the people of our state, and that is, the immense hordes of worthless dogs that now run riot in every county in the common wealth, endangering the lives of the cit izens and destroying thousands of dol lars worth of property in domestic ami mals, poultry, eggs, etc, to say noth- ing of the destruction of game of all kinds
 The state has passed laws to protect the game and game birds in this state. requiring a person who kills game to procure a license and then they are only permitted at certain times to do that, but a surplus horde of worthless dogs are allowed to roam at their sweet will at all times. destroying the nests and voraciously devouring the young; thus practically destroying in one year more than the licensed hunters do in two; and yet they are not required to pay one cent of revenue to the state or coun- ty. Now, Mir. Editor. l am not in khe habit of writing for the public to

A Steady Rise.

Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City bank of New York, has been chosen a member of the executive committee of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, and that means he will give some of his time to the business of that line" said S. M. Hinton of Washington, D. c.
 MT. Vanderlip's rise has been re- markable. He was born on a farm in Illinois, and IS years ago he was re- porter on a Chicago paper. He had a common school education, worked in a machine shop, and afterward took a college course, paying his way out of his earnings. As a reporter he took especial interest in finance and applied himself to the study of political econo- my.
 When Lyman Gage of Chicago was appointed Secretary of the Treasury in 1897 he took young vanderlip to Wash ington as his private secretary. In a few months MT. Gage had him ap- pointed Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. I became well acquainted with him while he occupied the latter position. I had business with the treasury department and called fre- quently on MT. Vanderlip. He was al- ways busy, but always accessible and pleasant. I never saw him when he was the least frustrated. He and MT. Gage used the same flat-top table as their desk and I was struck with the fact that they had no doorkeeper. Their door was always open and anybody was free to walk in unannounced. This was a departure from the old way, for it had been almost as difficult to gain admission to a cabinet officers sanctum as 1t was to get into the Presidents office. But MT. Gage and MT. vanderlip were extremely democratic in their ways and interruptions never seemed to annoy them.
 ''In 1901 Vanderlip resigned his posi- tion in the treasury to accept the third vice presidency of the National City bank, and recently he was elected president of that institution-the largest bank in the United States"
