Partisan Sage soaks into the
scalp, and when it reaches the
roots of the hair it not only kills
every dandruff germ, but it sup

RHODES is SCORED
BY THE ADVERTISER
BIRMINGHAM EDITOR SHOULD SPEAK
FOR SELF, NOT FOR STATE.

Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 6. -
Under the cartion, tSycophan-
cy that Misrepresents, the
Montgomery Advertiser said
Monday.
Editor Rufus N. Rhodes, of
Birmingham, in his gushing adj
dress Saturday to Hon. w. FL.
Taft at Augusta, Ca, may have
spoken for himself. but the Ad-
vertiser repudiates his utterances
as representing the Democrats
of Alabama and the Democrats
of the country. The Advertiser
has no tolerance for such toady-
ism. Mr.. Rhodes, thrown off
his mental balance in the pres
ence of the victorious leader of
the Republican party, took occa-
sion to say: Judge Taft, | am
going to take advantage of this
opportunity to say to you that if
you knew the heart and head of
the men of the South, and par
ticularly of Birmingham, you
would know that they regard the
result of the last election as a
benediction from God Almighty
himself to the people of the
South over their own protest.
The Advertiser is not content
to sit silent and let Mr.. Rhodes
words be flashed over the entire
country by the Associated Press
and read everywhere as if they
were utterances representative
Of the Southern people. They
were a reflection upon the united
and determined Democrats who
voted against the Republican
ticket few weeks ago and who
would do it again today. We do
not propose to let the Democrats
and the people of Alabama be
misrepresented because one gen.
tleman wishes to do obeisance to
the rising sun.
All the people of Alabama
will be pleased to have presi-
dent-elect guest of Birmingham
or of any city of the state. His
welcome will be of the heartiest,
and it is not necessary to de-
seend to toadyism to give it
voice. Mr.. Taft is clean and
honorable man, but neither the
people of Birmingham nor the
people of Alabama on his account
have repudiated the teachings of
Democracy and gone into the
Republican pa rty.
He is no sovereign who de-
mands sycophancy or to whom
sycophancy should be given. His
election has caused no political
revolution, and Alabama, no
matter how warm a welcome she
will give the president-elect, has
not thrown off Democracy and
gone into the Republican party.
Birmingham, so rich in gov
ernmental and political freaks.
is exhibiting another of her cur
iosities. The Democracy of Ala
bama had nothing to do with the
Augusta exhibition of toady-
ism.
