Something About the Platform

Col John w. Tomlinson, who was
chairman of the subcommittee on plat
form In the state democratic conven-
ton, returned from Montgomery yev-
terday. Like the delegates in gem
eral. he speaks of the convention as
having been notably representative
body.
IT have been attending state con-
ventions for several years past and 1
do not recall one that was more rep
resentative OF the intelligent citizen
ship of Alabama than the convention OF
Tuesday" said Colonel Tomlinson. 1T
was in every respect a great conven-
ton. 1t was brim full of enthusiasm
but along with the enthusiasm was
conservatism and genuine patriotism.
The friends of Colonel O'Neal went to
the convention without any cut and
dried platform. The convention was
absolutely free from anything Xix e
bosssm or one-man power. On the
contrary the platform was framed af-
ter a full and frank discussion and
friendly exchange of views in the
committee meeting. And l am glad
to believe that the platform will meet
with the hearty approval of loyal dem
ocrats."

WHENCE THE BUTTONS.

The wife of the clergyman of GER
tain suburban parish was mending
clothes the other day when a visitor
was announced The hostess went on
with her sewing, for the caller was
we'll known parishioner. After
awhile the visitor glanced toward the
sewing table and exclaimed: why,
there are some buttons exactly like
some my husband had on his last
winter suit. They are an odd kind
of button, too. Where did you get
them?" The clergymans wife smiled,
roguishly. I'm the collection basket"
she answered, quietly Il found a good
many of the same kind. I am saving
them up for possible use" The caller
changed the subject as hastily as she
could, and somehow or other she did
not stay very long.

PHOTOGRAPH THAT GOES TO SLEEP


Changeable photographs of an unprece-
denied novelty. taken after a method per-
fected by the secretary of the faculty of
sciences in the University of Marseilles,
NJ Estanave, were lately elucidated be-
fore the Academy of Sciences. at Paris,
and are now creating sensation in the
scientific papers. M. Estanave, 1t seems,
produced what is called technically a
"dia-positiven on grass Of a sleeping
woman. BY, inclining the picture ever 80
little and then shaking it a trine, the
eyes of the picture apparently open like
the orbs of a porcelain doll. In the pho
tcgraph moreover, the entire counter
ance becomes radiant with the most AMI
mated expressiveness. When the photo.
graph is inclined to its first position the
eyes slowly CLOSE once more. !.

From . Temperance viewpoint

Many sincere prohibitionsts who urged
the adoption of the Carmichael and the
Fuller bills, and who voted for the
amendment now fully realize that state
wide prohibition In its present form is a
failure. and say So" said a conservative
democrat but some of them are still in
sisting that these drastic laws should
have four more years OF trial. How any
observant. level-headed man could think
that the cause of good morals is being
promoted by the illegal liquor traffic that
Is said to be scandalizing the larger class
of communities in Alabama 1 cannot I'M
derstand. Statewide prohibition was an
administration measure, and if it is not
having a fair trial now 1t would seem the
height of absurdity to ask that these
drastic laws stand as they are In the
face of a pronounced local option senti-
ment. as recently expressed at the polls.
Under the democratic system of local
option about 80 per cent of Alabama was
dry territory. Rural communities are
strongly against liquor being sold in their
neigh borhoods and always will be. But
the same men-many of them, at least
who vote against the sale of liquor in the
county in which they live take different
view of the question when 1T comes to a
statewide proposition. In other words,
they are animated by spirit of fairness.
They think it unkind and unfair for men
in Blount or Bibb or St Clair TO vote
liquor out of Mobile or Montgomery or
Birmingham If a majority of the people in
those cities want dispensary or high Ii
cense and strictly regulated saloons.
But | have faith in the people. and
believe that many prohibtionists who are
today advocating continuance of the in
tolorable laws on the statute books will
favor a reasonable modification of these
lay WIS when the new legislature convenes.
They will IL they want to promote re-
spect for law"

RISKING LIFE FOR MONEY.

about the arena to watch the act and
learn the necessary cues. When this
stage is reached the manager parts with
his s5O-a-week trainer and takes on the
helper. The danger remains the same,
but the pay is half or one-third as much.
The thing at issue is only a human life.
And so the list goes on. 1t is I'M
dcubtedly true, particularly of the amuse-
ment and show world, that excitement
and the love of daring attract and hold
many. To the circus acrobat, the blare
of the band and the applause of the
crowd become, as it were the very breath
of life. The racing automobilist never
thinks of death in his mad rush. The
song that thrills his being is the song
of speed-"faster. faster, faster.' If he
feels any fear at all it is the fear of a
hunted animal. He is afraid of the man
behind him i'll the race, afraid that he
will be passed and beaten.
CHILDREN AND MONEY GETTING
Mary Louise Graham, in the Woman's
Home Companion.
A number of parents of my acquain-
lance cultivate the business instinct In
their children. They pay them for SER
vices rendered to the family; they urge
and help them to earn and save money In
every possible way, even by doubling the
amount of their savings. Now | should
as soon think of tipping their father for
carrying packages as Of paying one of
my children for ordinary services to the
household. Besides stimulating a love Of
rroof
feeling of reciprocity, of solidarity, which
am SO anxious to cultivate. Much ID
done for them often at great sacrifice;
1t is fitting that they should in their
turn render service. cannot see that
they are exempt from gratitude for the
much love and care that Is given them
because they were not brought into the
world of their own volition, fallacy
that is made the excuse for much selfish
ness. Therefore, the boys care for the
furnace the cellar. the sidewalk, and the
garden; the girls do great many things
about the house. I give them money, IN
much as / can afford. for want. them to
learn the value of it, but 1t Is a free
gift
| do not know when l have been SO
shocked as / was last Thanksgiving in

costumes, and evidently coming from

street and asked me for money. What

custom in New York city, accepted there
without apparent protest What could be
a better school for the mercenary spirit
of the age which people lament so much?
