 was brought out that should not be lost sight of by the voters. The Advertiser says MT. Mallory was pictured. because of his position as chairman of the state democratic committee, as the executive head of the party in Alabama, who when solemn pledge of the party was about to be violated, instead of resisting the violation, assisted in perpetating it in the submission of the amendmeat.'" While Mr. Mallory was earnestly advocating the iniqutous amendment measure, Mr. O'Neal was striving to preserve the integ- rity of the party and the liberties of the people. Can any man who opposed the amendment hesitate for a moment as to how he should cast his vote on May 9? Greenville Living Truth: According to news reports the fight for governor is to be fought along the lines of the late amendment campaign Mir Mallorys friends claim that he is prohibitionist and that Mir O'Neal is not. Now, as there are different kinds of prohibition ists it is up to Mir. Mallory to explain to the people of the state what kind of a prohibtionist he is.
 In the amendment campaign a strong fight was made on the Fuller and Car michael bills, which, had they been sup ported by constitutional law would have made them hardship on the peo- pie. Mr. Mallory owes it to the people of the state to state plainly how he stands on that question now.
 MT. Mallory owes it to the people of the state to outline his position on the Mlddlefield bill now before Congress pro hibiting shipping of liquor into dry terri tory. Does he favor such a bill or not? MT. Mallory owes it to the people of the state to explain how he stands on section 291a of the Fuller bill Does he favor this section or does he favor it's repeal?
 In other words does MT. Mallory favor not only statewide prohibition but an enactment of Congress aiso forbidding the shipment of liquor from other states l into Alabarla?
 Does MT. Mallory stand for an abso- lutely dry state without any wines or liquors to be made in the state or com ling within 1t from the outside? Let us hear fro1 you, MT. Mallory.

Advantages of Advertis;nr

Through the efforts of the Busi- ness Mems league Birmingham is be- coming one of the best advertised d trade centors of the south," said a member of the organization. "In fact. It's campaign of advertising is receiv- ing such wide attention from trade journals for it's originality and ef- fectiveness that many other cities in different parts of the country have called on the league for information as to the kind of campaign it is con ducting.
 The effect of the advertising of the league, which was resumed aggress- sively few weeks ago, is being clear ly shown in the steadily increasing out-of-town trade and especially in the greater number of railroad fares that are now being refunded through the rebate bureau
 Secretary Chaffee, in speaking of the advertising work of the league re- gently. stated that it was being de- cidedly helped by the liberality of the merchants and business houses of Bir- mingham i'll using the envelope back provided by the league. Cuts of this envelope back have been furnished the various printing houses of the city, who have placed a minimum charge on the imprinting of same on the backs of envelopes and it is hoped that It's use will grow so steadily that before long every piece of mail matter going out of Birmingham will bear this ad- vertisement.
 The stickers-100,0 1000 new ones which will soon be distributed by the league, will also materially aid tbe campaign of advertising now being conducted through the local and out of-toWn press and by steel signboards scattered throughout the northern half Of the state and by other means known to up-to-date advertising"

The Late Father Tabb

The Late Father Tabb
 Tt has been several months since the Rev. John Canister Tabb passed away, but articles of appreciation of his literary work are still appearing in the maga- zines,'' said a member of Birmingham s Vii ginia colony, who had long years of acquaintance with the distinguished priest-poet. "In the current number of the Review of Reviews is an excellent pie ture of Father Tabb and short but in- tere sting sketch containing extracts from two articles-one of them by Mrs Alice Meynell, who dwells particularly upon the artistic completeness of 1abb's poems
 Mrs. Meynell says in rart:
 Father Tabb has produced some ,lur- dreds of poems in few slender volumes. separate thought and a thought .'ac- cepted of song" This is fertility of q most unusual kind; it is not only quality in little space but-more remarkably quantity in a little space For Father Tabb's admirable things are not merely to be weighed; they are, most emphatcal- ly. to be counted. They are many. Nay, they are so many that I doubt whether one of the voluminous poets, even the great ones, would easily make up such sum- Multum, non multa has been said in praise of others. But that praise in no wise suits Father Tabb It is for aburdance that we must praise him-the several separate, distinct, discreet abun- dsl ce of entire brief lyrics. Would a slower or longer-witted poet have made of each of these thoughts, these fancies these images, longer poem? I cannot tell. but I think the longer -witted one would not have had these thoughts. Farther Tabb .conceives them at once in their perfection; and one cannot think of them otherwise than as bearing their own true shape in his exquisitely shaped starza.'
 "In most of the sketches that I have read Father Tabb is referred to as a musician. The Review of Reviews says: The country has lost a poet of distinction. twhile from the ranks of the Roman Cath ollie priesthood there was taken a scholar and musician of upnusual attainments.' NOW, Father 1abb like all poets. had musical taste, and he possessed in q broad | serse knowledge of the theory of | music; but he was not musician. The mistake in alluding to him as a man of musical attachments probably comes from the fact that he and Sidney Lanier were devoted comrades; and Lanier was ell known as practical musician as well as a great poet. Lanier was a first rete flute player and in Baltimore played | in enc of the theatre orchestras and in the symphony orchestra of the Peabody institute, in order to supplement his meagre income from his pen.
 Father Tabb was born and reared in q large house, built by ancestors in colonial days and 1t was seven miles from miles from a railroad. His home
 was about 40 miles from Richmond and
 while young man he was frequent wis itor to the city. But none of his old | friends there ever thought of him as q musician and while I could not make | A positive statement I feel sure that he never took a music lesson in his life further than the instruction all priests re- ceiye in Gregorian chant"

Samuel w. Rowland is a Boise
Valley boy, and has host of warm
friends. During the administration
OF Mayor Smith Mr.. Rowland served
as chief of police and made a splen-
did officer, and, when no resigned,
it was with the regret Of all. He is
eminently qualified for tho position
no seeks, that OF Sheriff of Canyon
County, being a nominee on the Re-
publican primary ticket.
Personally Mr.. Rowland is tenn
perance man. having been raised by
a sterling Christian woman, Rev.
Desdemona Smith, and no would
prove a strong factor in seeing that
tho laws were executed against the
law breaker, especially the infringer
of the local option and gambling
laws. He is generous, popular, with
veins filled with good, red blood, ag-
gressive for the right, honest, con-
sciencious, and would make a splen-
did sheriff. He is receiving very
strong encouragement.

We talked with a number of city Of
ficials and other citizens, and all
seem enthusiastic in their praise OF
the bitulithic pavement, preferring it
to any other form of paving.
We met the chief of the fire de-
partment, who made a run for us
from two OF the fire stations and we
noticed that the horses, although
smoothly shod, did not slip at all
while running at top speed on the BIZ
tulithic pavement The chief told us
that the horses seemed to know the
pavements, that they run with per-
feet freedom on the bitulithic, but
would Immediately slow down when
they struck the brick or asphalt. In
general, we noticed that the streets
OF Atlantic City were kept in splen-
did condition. 1t is the cleanest city
VIC have ever seen.
From Atlantic City we went t.
Wilmington, Del, and drove over
about three miles of streets. We
found brick, asphalt and bitulithiC.
We saw on Market street, the main
business street, one square of as
phalt and one square of bitulithic
Immediately adjoining, which VIC
were told that the city laid five years
ago as a comparative test. The BIZ
tulithic was as far as we could see,
in as good condition as were the BIZ
tulithic streets that were laid last
year.
In conclusion this committee has
to say that in our judgment the btu
lithic pavement is far ahead OF any
form of pavement we have ever seen,
1t is smooth, without being slippery
There is slight give to it, which
makes it very easy on horses. 1t is
clean, sanitary, quiet and best of all
it is durable. We earnestly recon-
mend its construction to councils and
citizens of York"

at this end of the county he visited

"Bitulithic Recommended For York,
Pennsylvania.
Taken from the Municipal En-
cheering of August, 1910.
A formal report giving the men,
bers the benefit of the city council of
York, Pa, bya party of council men
who had visited Atlantic City, Will
mington and Baltimore to inspect
paving.
The report follows:
The undersigned members of City
Councils visited Atlantic City, Will
mington, Del, and Baltimore, Md,
and made careful and thorough ex-
animation of the street paving in
those cities. We were given an op
portunity to inspect all the different
forms of pavement, bitulithic, brick,
asphalt and wood blocks.
At Atlantic City, Tennessee avenue
for one square is paved with wood
block and looked fine. We were,
however, told by teamsters whom We
questioned that it was very slippery
in wet weather and that horses fire.
quently fell on it. A gentleman
whom We asked told us that this
pavement cost 1929 per square yard.
We noticed some brick paving
around the railroad station and In
the alleys, some of which was good
and some showed the result of wear
and tear and was very rough and I'M
even.
Atlantic avenue, which is the main
business street, was paved with BIZ
tulithic, hundred feet wide and five
miles long, and was in perfect condI-
ton. In addition this pavement IS
now in its fourth year and was in
perfect condition. In addition to At
lantic avenue, there are twelve other
streets paved with bitulithic. We
rode or walked over these streets
and We did not find single hole or
worn place. We were informed that
the city has laid over 400 900 yards
of this form of pavement. $4,000
yards Of which were laid last fall,
and we understand that the city ex-
poets to lay more of it this season.

ABSTRACT OF ASSESSMENT NOT
YET RECEIVED BY THE
STATE AUDITOR.
All Others On Hand and Board Of
Equalization Prepared to DO
Business-CanyOn County
Stops all Proceed
ings.

Abstracts OF asses sed valuation
were received by the state auditor
Tuesday from Ada. Kootenat and
Custer counties, which leaves Canyon
county tho only ono delinquent in
the matter of reporting and the
state board of equalization is still
held up on this account, and the
work of the board must be complet-
ed not Later than August %.
Being hauled before the state
board of equalization by the sheriff
OF Ada county, and being obliged to
nav tho costs for same at the same
rate as in a civil action, is the pleas
ant prospect in store for the delin-
uuent auditor of Canyon county, I'M
less he is able to produce an abstract
OF assessed valuation at once. In
fact, he is already liable, according
to the terms of the revised code, for
not having his report in by August
s.
While the state board may perhaps
decide to be rather lenient with Mr.,
Bailey after his talo about being
worked to death, it is said that some
of his political opponents for the of
fec of secretary OF state claim that
his work has consisted OF an assidu-
Qua campaign for his candidacy for
the nomination, to the neglect of the
abstract, and that II he does not
come through with the report very
shortly the law will bo enforced in
order to show him up and put him
short OF campaign funds.-Botse
