TAFT TO CONFER BEFORE
HE APPOINTS IN FUTURE
Senator Johnson, Of Alabama,
Hurt Because President
Failed to Consult Him

WASHINGTON. June 2.-President Taft
will consult with Senator Johnson on
the matter of selecting a postmaster for
Birmingham, Ala, the senator's home
city. 1t is expected he will pursue the
course hereafter of consulting Democratic
senator's in the matter of naming post
masters for their home cities. In this
matter he expects to show his regard
for southern members of congress.
In the case of the Birmingham office an
appointment was made on February %,
the nominee being N. L. Steele, to sue
coed John r. Carter. For many months
the nomination was held up at the re-
quest of Senator Johnson, and the pres
dent only learned yesterday that the Ala
bama senator felt hurt because he had
not been consulted. The president imme-
diately withdrew the nomination of Steele
and will confer with Senator Johnson. 1t
is likely that Steele will be given place
with the consent of the senator.

Julien Iriss. the representative on the

The Official decree was issued from
aboard the Nicaraguan war vessel Venus.

Hope il found in the fact that the de-

MIDDLEBROOKS OPPOSES
CONCEALED WEAPONS
Candidate for Governor Says
Legislature Should Prevent
Guns from Being SeCreted

CONVICTION, Ga, June 2-In an inter-
view with Hon. L. L. Middlebrooks, can
didate for governor, he had the follow
ing to say in regard to the carrying of
concealed weapons. He says that this is
one of the greatest sources of crime in
the state and that there is hardly term
of superior court in any county in the
state that does not have a case or more
of homicide caused directly by the car
rying OF pistols. He says that at the
last term of the superior court in Rock
dale county, a greater part of the time
was devoted to the investigation of cases
coming from negro frolics and carrying
Of pistols He says as follows:
"All this talk about prohibiting the
sale or carrying of pistols is entirely use
less, because pistols are property and
one has the right to dispose of his prop
erty, and the constitution says, the right
Of the people TO keep and bear arms shall
not be infringed," but the general assem-
bly, shall have the power 10 prescribe
the manner in which arms may be borne.
So that the only thing that can be done
Is to pass a law that will make decent
people ashamed to be found with pistol
on their person. If officers have to bear
arms they can do so, by complying with
the law, and no one would blame them.
II is the uncertainty Of connection that
make people take pistols. 1t is often
The case that boy puts pistol in his
pocket with no intention of hurting any
one. but, perhaps he falls in bad company
ana loads up on blind tiger whisky, and
when his blood is on fire and his reason
gone, he pulls the internal machine and
kills his best friend. Then there are two
families bowed in sorrow, one boy in
eternity and the other in the tolls. We
ought to stop these things is far as it is
possible to provide against such trou-
bles By having such law as suggested
in my announcement for governor, we
might to some extent reduce the num-
her of pistols carried. If one life was
saved a year by such a law 1t would be
ample pay for the passage"
