THE general assembly failed to ad-
members seemed to think it would do;
but instead may remain in session a
good part of this week, possibly longer.
The long filibuster in the house over
trouble. Because of the filibuster on
the prohibition bill, there was delay in
the passage of the supply and appro-
priation bills. Finally the prohibition
house, the local optionists believing
that it would die in the senate. That
seems to be the general understanding.
The theory was that both houses
day, and as the prohibition bill could
not be passed within the time limit
the prohibition bill would go over.
The senators, however, did not fulfill
expectations in the matter. Instead,
they insisted on the consideration of
the prohibition bill, and when Satur-
day came, it was not in shape to ad-
journ. The house wanted to adjourn
Saturday, but could not adjourn with
out the consent of the senate. The
outlook now is that the senate will in
sist upon some kind of disposition of
state wide prohibition before it con-
sents to adjournment. Senator ]. c.
Otis, the leader of the senate state
wide forces, wants to submit the state
wide question to a vote of the people

and the law to be put into effect

AN internal revenue officer came

AN interesting feature Of the SER
vices in the First Presbyterian church
last Sunday were addresses by Mr.. r
E. Mcfarland and Rev. E. E. Gillespie
in which they gave an account Of what
they saw and learned at the conven-
ton of the Laymen's Missionary
movement of the Presbyterian church
in Birmingham last week. They rep
resented the convention as being large
ly attended, and the members as being
filled with enthusiastic zeal for the
cause. Mr.. Mcfarland laid especial
stress on the necessity for money with
which to carry on the great work. The
addresses were very much appreciated
and enjoyed by the entire congrega-
ton.

MANY of the Washington cores
pondents are sending out statement
to the effect that President-elect Taft
has given out that he does not propose
to appoint any more negroes to office
where he can get white men Of supe-
rior ability and more acceptable to the
communities to be served. This Is
nothing more than simple justice and
right. While it may be fact that the
office holder is a servant Of the peo-
ple," it is also fact that he is vested
with certain authority over individuals
and it is not right that he should be
forced on communities to which he
may be personally distasteful. There
it just as much reason why negroes
should be appointed to office in the
north as there is in the south. Indeed,
there is more reason; the northern pol
itician, processes he has no objection
But we notice that no president has
ever been very liberal in the matter of
giving negroes office in the north out
side of the city of Washington. One
sufficient reason is that the northern
people-the northern Republicans-will
not stand for anything Of the kind
We are almost prepared to believe that
the statement that has been sent out
about Mr.. Taft is true, and we believe
that If he makes good along the line
of these intimations, he will get closer
to the south than any other president
has gotten since the war.
