SMITH GOES TO SEE TAFT Applicant for Hundley's Place. BOOKER WASHINGTON, TOO Negro Educator Visitor to the
 White House, storm I. Raised over Plan To Send Iaberian Commissien To Afriea
 On . Naval
 Vessel.
BY ALFRED :. sroFER.

Washington, D. C., April 20-(Spo- ciaL) )--w. H. smith. of Birmingham. one of the candidates for Judge of the Northern District, saw President Taft today. and remained some time at the White House.
 The President. about ten days ago. said to some Aiabamians that before making up his mind. he would like to see Mir. Smith. look him over and have a talk with him. This caused several of the friends of Mir. Smith to have high hopes; they just tumbied to the conclusion that in addition to the work that had been done. it would probably settle the business when the President talked with their candidate.
 Mir. Smith did not get any tip. how over, that he would be the lucky man. and at thesame time he said this afternoon that he met with no dis couragement So far as he was able to discover. the President Is still ponder ing, and did not indicate in hts con versation about when he would settle the matter.
 Mir. Smith left tonight for Birmine- ham.
 Senator Bankhead was among the Presidents callers today. Hej says he did not go to the White House to dis cuss the Alabama judicial appointment. It was a matter of no public concern at this time which took him to tn. executive offices.
 Booker Visits Taft.
 Another White House visitor was Booker T. Washington. When he emerged from the Presidents offices. he stated that he had been sent for by Mr. Taft. who wished to talk with him about that commission soon to start for Liberia. and of which the Tuskegee educators secretary, Emmett Scott, is to be a member. Washington did not go into any par ticulars as to hts audience with the President. He never does. when he comes here.
 Something of a racket has been go ing on over the proposition to have the members of this commission taken to the African Republic in a naval yes sell The Baltimore Sun had red hot editorial Sunday s last protesting against 1t on the ground that the twr negro members of the commissior would be entitled to eat in the officers mess. Naval men are stirred up over the prospect.
 It is understood that the subject was discussed today at the cabinet meet ing, but if so. 1t was kept very quiet. for nothing relative thereto was given out from the White House. One of the members of the commis- sion is a white man named Garrett, and 1t Is reported he is thinking of de- | clining the fob. If so, there will be a chance for another prominent negro | to have an African trip. but no Ala ba1fa Fhekfo. of codrss. ewiIl be consid- cred as there is already one from the I state.
 Washington today denied he was backing E. H. Dryer, of Birmingham, for judge to succeed Hundley. He says this report probably was started

reelected to retain their positions on
the commission at the same salaries

THE MARATHON CRAZE.

What was once a name Synonymous
with one of the great events of world
history, the Marathon messengers feat,
has degenerated into an advertising
trademark for professional races of
any and every description. Stimulated
by the revenue to be derived from Gu
rious crowds at indoor meets, the craze
for Marathon" events has swept over
the country until every Podunk has it's
Marathon" run, race for distances
from five miles up, and every has-been
of foot racer is posing as the Mara
thon" champion of some obscure track.
The craze is ridiculous and worse; it
has led to the competition in long-dis-
lance runs of men and boys who have
had no training, or who are certain to
be injured irreparably by the strain on
hearts unfit for severe work. Medical
authorities agree that no cross country
or other run for boys under 10 should
be more than a mile in distance. Col
lege athletes in good condition can
stand longer distances uninjured, but
even then they should not be permitted
to enter until competent physicians
have examined them and pronounced
them fit.
This state has escaped most of the
foolishness of the season in MARA

MR. FITZGERALD's PRICE.

The betrayal Of the Democratic party
in congress by Mr.. Fitzgerald of New
York has brought sudden and rich re-
ward to the gentleman who has won
such conspicuous infamy by his course.
Having aided Speaker Cannon to retain
the power to appoint committees, Mr..
Fitzgerald is paid the following day
by appointment to the rules committee,
named by the speaker.
The rules committee is the one body
of the house which, subject to Mr.. Can
mons wishes, controls all legislation. Tt
alone has power to bring in rules set
ting a day for consideration of a bill,
allotting time for debate and otherwise
prescribing what the house may or
may not do. II can, by refusing to act,
prevent action on any measure. 1t is
a dummy committee. of course. be-
cause it is dominated by the speaker
and does what he tells It TO do, but its
members have extraordinary powers,
and Mr. Fitzgerald, as member of
the committee, is placed in position for
two years to reap the full measure of
the benefits he has agreed to accept in
lieu Of the ten pieces of silver his most
famous exemplar took as payment in
full
MIR. Fitzgerald is welcome to all he
gets out of his action. He stands alone
as the most conspicuous example of
what q constituencies man will do to
gain power or money by the sacrifice
of conviction. But for him and a few
like him, congress would have been
freed from the curse of Cannon's abso-
lutism, and would have been a repre-
sentative body in fact as well as in
name for the first time since the Illi-
nois congressman took the speaker s
chair.
As it is, the independent Republicans
and the decent Democrats who acted
with them have gained very little ex-
cept that they have shown that the
Cannon regime had to resort to the aid
of the Benedict Arnolds to retain their
grip on the house. They have paid too
big price. and in the long run will
have to bear defeat and the odium of
FitzgeraId's action with him.

DEMANDS OF THE "DRYs."

The prohibition element succeeded,
after a long fight, which included the
defeat of several members of congress,
in putting the agents of express COM
panies and railroads out of the liquor
business in the dry" states
The provisions of the new penal code
bill provide that all packages contain
ing liquor, when shipped from one state
to another, shall be plainly marked on
the cover, both as to the amount and
nature of the contents. Any person
who ships liquor from one state TO an
other. without SO marking it, viii be
subject 10 a fine of not more than $1,000
for each and every offense. This pen
atty, it is confidently expected will put
a stop to the practice of manufactur-
ers and dealers of shipping liquor pro-
miscuously into the prohibition states.
in charge Of express agents, to be sold
by these agents upon demand or &C
cording to some prearranged PLAN In
many, if not most instances, if sd-
dressed at all, the packages carried the
name of some fictitious person, and any
thirsty individual of the localities
where drouth prevailed could obtain a
supply of liquor by paying the c. o. D.
charges plus the amount added by the
express company. Prohibition did not
prohibit under such conditions, but the
new law ought to help matters some in
that respect.
The prohibitionists. however, are not
satisfied with the advance made and
now advocate a law giving to dry
states the right to seize liquor shipped
in from other states the minute 1t
crosses the state line. Congress has so
far refused to enact legislation of this
kind. mainly for the reason that the
best obtainabie legal advice Is to the
effect that such law would be uncon-
stitutional, it being held that inter-
state commerce is not a complete act
until the article shipped shss passed
int the hands of the consignee, and
that congress has not the power to per-
nit any state to interfere with inter-
state commerce. The prohibitionists. on
the other hand, insist that the law be
passed and the courts called upon to
decide as 20 its constitutionality. The
matter will come up again next winter,
and it may be that congress viii take
the desired action. the members being
confident that such a law would not
hold water.

the matter was dropped and the ex-
members viii have to hustle for a
living just like the rest of US, unless
President Taft cones to the rescue
with the necessary amount of federal
patronage. Come to think of it, here
was a chance to appoint commission
that was entirely overlooked by the re-
firing executive
