Can't. Hobson's Latest Blast.

Neither Congress nor the country has
taken Representative Hobson seriously
on the subject Of the Japanese peril. He
has toured the land repeatedly as lee
turer. and addressed Congress repeatedly
as member. pointing out the peril, but
has had almost a monopoly of the vision.
So that the opinion Is quite general that
the peril is all in Capt. Hobson's eye.
While it is but fair to concede sin
cerity to the distinguished ALBANIAN.
this latest outburst not unlikely has
political side. Capt. Hobson will be OPP
posed for reelection to the House. and
he is girding up for the fray. He sounds
the note of patriotism, and preparedness
for the enemy, and bids his constituents
listen. He wants their attention on that
line
His opponent for the nomination-which
i'm that district liz equivalent to election
wants their attention on another line.
He wants Judgment on speech and vote
Capt Hobson made and cast in opposi-
ton to President Roosevelt's course to-
ward the members of the negro battalion
in the Brownsville case He seems de-
sirous of playing upon the prejudice
which is SO easily aroused in southern
politics with the negro for text.
Now, as a matter Of fact. Capt Hobsoa
was never on higher ground in his poiit-
zeal life than when he stood for square
deal for those negro soldiers. He did
not ask that any guilty man escape, nor
assume that all the discharged men were
innocent All he wanted was the liking
of the guilt before making the Furnishing
permanent. There had been no adequate
investigation, and he favored one. He
simply refused to draw the color line
against men who had. as he had, worn
the uniform Of the country.
If the voters Of the sixth Alabama dis
trict have nothing against their repre-
sentative but his Brownsville vote they
should return him without fail. They
can afford to forgive him his Obsession
about Japan. He may recover from that.
But even should it continue the value
of his views about other questions will
not be lessened. His knowledge Of naval
matters is wide. and valuable to the
House in a member. We are not prepar-
ing for a war with Japan, nor likely to
enter upon such a policy at the instiga-
ton Of Capt. Hobson or anybody else.
Not even James Hamilton Lewis. the lat
est agitator on that line, will be able to
plunge US into q sea Of blood.
The navy will 20 forward the more
steadily and satisfactorily the less stress
is laid on Japan's intentions OF Germany
Intentions, and the more stress, as the
President lays it. on our duty AZ nation.
with a great responsibility on the sea to
meet. calling for an equipment worthy of
it and Of ourselves.

New Hope for Ireland.

From the New York Sun.
The Irish leaders have decided to ac-
cept at their face value Mr.. Asquith 8
promises of some form of home rule for
Ireland. 1t is fair to infer. therefore,
that they have received private assur-
ances that were satisfactory to them
regarding the nature of the measures to
be proposed and the time when they
will be carried into effect. Sympathizers
with Ireland would have greater conf
dence in the wisdom of this action II
among the present leaders was any man
who In some degree possessed the politi-
cal shrewdness and the ability to COM
mand of Mr.. Parnell.

Sugar.

Maybe if the government could collect
all the sugar duties due 1T from past
transactions 1t would have no deficiency
in the Treasury further to consider.
The more matters are Investigated the
more interesting they become. and the
greater the task of the Department of
Justice is shown to be. Congress will
wait on the Attorney General 1t will
take no step liable to embarrass him
But when he is through, and announces
the fact. there will be no reason then
why Congress should not probe all
charges and revelations on its own ac-
count.

An Anti-Noise Protest.

They do not keep a barking dog
In the adjacent fat:
No Growing rooster there may dwell,
Nor fercely mewirC cat.
No crying infant ever makes
The atmosphere go wrong,
But every night at Az pm.
They sing the latest song.
Sometimes it is Of mothers boy.
Who wanders far away;
Sometimes It's of some distant spot
Where life is grave or gay;
But mostly it's about girl,
Likewise a silvery moon.
Which seems to be most popular
Because 1t rhymes with spoon.
Bring on your infant, healthy lunged;
Bring on your barking pup.
Your rooster bold, your mewing cat,
And gayly mix them up!
I'm sure no one should undertake
To hold grudge 'gainst them.
Since we can stand the ragtime tunes
They raise at 10 pm.

CAMPAIGN TO BE VIGOROUS

Campaign headquarters of the Mont gomery county campaign committee of those fighting against the proposed amendment to the Constitution, will be opened Tuesday morning in the Ex- change National Bank building Dexter avenue and North Court street. where Alex c. Clarke will commence organis- ing his forces for the county fight.
 The announcement of the campaign committee Monday caused great deal of concern among the amenders. who were much surprised to note the per sonnei of the committee. The names that figured in the list immediately robbed the amenders of the ability to assert that all the best people of this city and county are on their siie of this absorbing question.
 Chairman Ray Rushton. of the Mont gomery county defenders campaign committee. said yesterday that the light would be on in earnest from this time, and that when November 2e rolls around, the amenders would find Mont- gomery county had given a more sub stantiaf majority against this attempt to change the Constitution of the State than it had on any previous question.
 Other members of the committee stated that the work to be done would be most thorough and that 1t was com fidently expected that before the fight was one-third over. the claims made byzti1e amenders would be scattered.
 While there appears to be not the slightest doubt in the minds of any one connected with the anti-amend- ment movement here that Montgomery will roll up an exceedingly large vote against the amendment. 1t is not the purpose of the committee to stop at this. The committee argues that Montgomery is anything but alone on this issue and that 1t Is the figift of the state at large and every possible vote must be counted against @ proposi- ton to invade the homes of citizens.
 A large majority Is not the only thing to be secured. according to those who are making the fight here. but ev- cry possible vote must be counted against the proposition in order that the weaker counties may be helped ont fntthe fight, and the committee intends to see to it that every one who can vote in this county and who Is op- posed to the amendment shall be counted In the final tally.
 Work Going On.
 iAfs the headquarters of the state campaign committee of those opposed to the amendment the work is going steadily alonR. ThQse In charge say there wili De not the slightest let up in the light. although they feel assur- have gathered that the amendment is already well beaten.
 The campaign detail Is running like
