Sam Jones in lecture once
said; This thing of the farmers
and little politicians going around
over the country crying out the
poor farmer is the worst down
trodden man on earth and the laws
are all again him, | tell you it's a
great big lie; it amt so. Here,
take any community you like.
Right here is man with good
home, plenty to eat and wea",
stock in the barn, money in the
bank. Right there is another
farmer with farm and house gone
to rack, old, poor and scrubby
stock, nothing to eat and wear and
in debt besides. Now, are the
laws all for one and agin the other9
Not much. Go to the town and
you will find one lawyer making
$1,000 year and another so cents
a day. Are the laws all for one
of these lawyers and agin tho
other9 Some doctors are making
$4,000 year and some are glad
to get a $50 case once a year. Are
laws all for one and agin the otherl
Not much. tell you it amt the
laws that are wrong; it's the men.
Do you get that into your nog-

An UntimeIy Royal letter and the
Message It Conveyed.
One night at 8 o'clock the bishop Of
Orleans was reused by royal cou-
srier who had in hot haste brought a
dispatch from mis- majesty louis XIV.
The bishop imagined that something
terrible had happened. Tremblingly he
opened the package and read:
Monsieur the Bishop OF Orleans My
daughters wish for some preserved Or
leans ounces. Pray send some. #
you have none beg that you will"-
In this part of the letter there was a
drawing of sedan chair. and under
meath the chair the kings letter con-
tinued thus:
Send Immediately into your episco-
pal town and get them. and monsieur
the bishop. may God have you In his
holy keeping. LOUIS"
Lower down on the page was this
postscript:
1.-The sedan chair does not mean any
thing. 1t was drawn by my daughter
on this sheet Of paper, which hap
pened to find near me-"
Greatly relieved. the bishop hurried
courier into Orleans. procured the
preserves and sent them to his royal
master.-Thomas ID. Watson In 'sThe
Story Of France"

The Excise Commission

Governor O'Neal has promised the people of Birmingham high class excise commission.
 The week before the local option election in Jefferson county the gov ernor visited this city, and while here expressed himself in writing to the effect that he would appoint three men who would be entirely satisfac- tory to the conservative business in- terests of Birmingham and the county" and satisfactory also to the board of city commissioners. He had appointed excise commissioners in Mobile and in Montgomery who gave high satisfaction, and there would have been every reason, of course, to expect him to make similar appoint ments for Jefferson county even if he had not pledged himself definitely on the subject But the letter which the governor wrote saying that his appointments would be entirely satis- factory to conservative bushes inter- ests was worth--many votes to the saloon side.
 Governor O'Neal will doubtless name the excisemen for Jefferson county this week., Because of the wealth of material from which he will make his selections his task will be all the more difficult. Of a dozen or more men who are prominently men, toned in connection with the excise commission at least eight or nine of them would be eminently satisfactory. But the governor can appoint only three.
 The Smith enactment provides for model saloons. The regulations are singularly strict, but not a bit too strict. With picked commission and an excellent law Birmingham will have an opportunity to make high record for good order.

HOkE SMITH

From Current Literature September.
 His height is six feet three His weight is eighteen stone, that is to say, about 25O pounds. His disposition is far from indolent. He is progressive democrat" and he has been diligently engaged for years in answering affirmatively many of the questions in the forty-flrst chapter of Job. "Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook?' Hoke can. "Or his tongue with cord which thou lettest down ?'' Yes. "Canst thou put an hook into his nose or bore his jaw through with a thorn?" Hoke has done so repeatedly
 Will he make many applications unto thee?' He has made them so often to Hoke in vain that he is discouraged. "Canst thou fill his skin with barbed iron, or his head with fish spears?" That is Hoke Smiths favorite pastme For the leviathan as you will see by reading the whole of the chapter, if not a mod ern trust, is so much like it, especially a big railroad trust, that We may for rhet- orical purposes consider them as one anl the same thing. Hol1e Smith is describ- ed as the La Toilette of Georgia with in timations that the description might bet ter be reversed, and La Toilette describ- ed as the Hoke Smith of Wisconsin.

Underwood.s Home Coming

"It will be pleasure for me to partic- ipate in paying honor to Oscar Under wood upon the occasion of his return home, said a member of the Chamber of Commerce. This is true, although I do not agree with MT. Underwood's tariff views.
 'I fear very much that any reduction in the iron and steel schedule will work se- rious detriment to this community. I rec ognize. however. MT. Underwood's sheer ity. More than that, I recognize that he has gained unusual national distinction for which his fellow citizens should re- joice. When a Birmingham man achieves honor, a loyal citizen of Birmingham feel proud of him, and wish to do my part to disprove that a prophet Is not without honor save in his own coun- try. I do not construe at all that an appreciation of MT. Underwood person. ally by his fellow citizens is a political action and l can see no reason why the low tariff and high tariff men, republicans and democrats, cannot unite consistent ly to do honor to a gentleman who has become the second most powerful indi- vidual In our government"

these costs must be paid whether the defendant is convicted or acquitted. Judge Cahalan sees no relief for the docket of his court until county of ficials are put on a salary basis.
 Judge Cahalan does not discuss the inhunanity of keeping humble mis- demeanants on trumped-up charges, or at least on charges that will not be followed up in jail two or three months. The sum of inhumanity ere ated by the fee system in this county is enough to make every intelligent and sensitive person shudder over system that to some extent some in- telligent, sensitive person is responsi- ble for.

Misbranded Coffee in Alabama

The food and drugs act of this state had lain dormant two whole years when Commissioner Kolb and State Chemist Ross awoke to their duty in connection with it. That law is to be enforced if not to the letter at least up to some of its broader provisions.
 Just at present the state agricul- tural department with primarily stands charged with the execution of the law is endeavoring to protect the two millions and more people of Ala bama from the swindling which stands back of adulterated coffee. Chickory and cereals are sold by swindling concerns as coffee. No re- duction in price is made for coffee mixed with chickory or cereals. The compound is sold as pure coffee at coffee prices.
 Commissioner Kolb proposes to see that every package is truthfully branded. When chickory or cereals are put in coffee the law requires a statement of the fact on every pack age sold. "A man." says Commits sioner Kolb, "who buys pure coffee should get it and not mixture con taining something that is cheaper. He is not getting what he is buying if the label does not state that chickory or cereal is mixed in the goods"
 It is not claimed that chickory or the cereals involved in the case are deleterious to health. It is simply claimed that misbranded coffee is fraudulent, and Commissioner Kolt proposes to see that the act of 1908 is fully enforced! He is wholly right and his policy should secure the SUD- port and appreciation of both press and people.
