Party Platforms

"I spent some time in the west last spring and most of the democrats l met there were strongly in favor of the initiative, referendum and recall; and western democrats will try to com init the party to that doctrine,' said John Atherton of IndiaNl. But if such so-called progressive finds place in the platform next year we are defeated at the start. I am a democrat, and, of course, want to see the party win, but we cannot possibly win unless we have conservative platform and a conservative candidate. Grover Cleve- land swept the country in 1892 because he stood for conservative democracy, and because the platform was con- servative. I feel sure that the eastern de tiocrats will insist on a Jeffersonian platform in 1912, and the Jeffersonian democracy will never try any of the
 isms' which the populists and social ists advocate. No matter what blum ders Mr. Taft may have made in his speeches, it can be set down as cer- tainty that the republicans will steer clear of any radical vagaries in their platform next year.

 All told, it is reasonably certain a dozen states will hold primaries be- fore the conventions meet, and the number may be increased during the winter to twenty, It is a pretty plain indication of what is coming in 1916.

GEORGIA,s NEW GOVERNOR
From the New York Sun.

E'rOm the NeW OTk Sun,
 Little Joe Brown is the best gover- nor that Georgia could have under the circumstances. A man of considerable property himself, he respects it's rights and tries to safeguard its integrity. He has guarded vested interests in defiance of the mob and will do 1t again if need be- In word, he is the very executive buffoonery and dangerous experimental . tion needs. He will introduce into that state, so recently tormented by grimac ing mountebanks, the regime of order 1t demands for its prosperity and peace of mind, and in his quiet way try to restore the dispensation of security.

erva Is one of the largest in Rome. It is
 the principle Dominican church in the
 Eternal City and that being so the new cardinal-rector was received at the en- trance by the general of the Dominican order The street in front of the church was lined with carbineers and municipal guards. A great throng of people had gathered around the ancient building, but the best of order was maintained. The procession through the aisles was most august. The choir sang Behold. the High Priestr as the cardinal proceeded to the throne. A prothonotary apostolic then advanced and read the papal bull assign ing the church to Cardinal Farley. Imme- diately after the reading of the bull the general of the Domnicans offered hom- age to the cardinal, kneeling and kissing his ring in token of obedience. He was followed by the prior and all the monks of the monastery attached to the church. The Dominican general made felicitous speech and the cardinal responded felici- tously. The congregation that filled the church included ambassadors, members of the Roman aristocracy and other mo- tables"

A Cardinals TituIar Church

I've nave read full accounts of the stately ceremonial in the vatican on the occasion of investing the new cardinals but one of the most interesting ceremonies of all was the installation of Cardinal Farley of New York as rector of his titu- lar church of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva last Sunday afternoon, said a laymn. "The New York Sun of Mondy gave a very graphic account of the pomp and ceremony.
 "Each cardinal has a titular church in Rome, Cardinal Gibbons being that of St. Mary s-be yond-Tiber. The first Amer ican cardinal was Archbishop McClosky of New York, whose titular church was the same that Cardinal Farley took pos session Of last Sunday. and it is fact worthy of note that he as young priest was in Cardinal McCloskys suite when that distinguished prelate was installed there in io75.

Honors for the Corn Boys

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson covered the ground pretty well when he told the prize corn boys: "You boys receive these diplomas because YOU have done something. We are proud of you, your states are proud of you, and you have done something which will help to reduce the cost of living and which will help to make the south a greater and richer sec ton of the country" Every word of this is true. These representatives of 55,000 enterprising corn boys in r southern states are indeed the pride of the south. This state will honor Fiber A. Kinibrough of Alex ander City and Junius Hill of Attalla, and if brass bands should greet the two boys when they reach their re- spective homes no one will be a bit surprised. They deserve the best the state can give them. Many. honors were showered on them in Washing ton and many should be at home.
 Junius Hill, who grew PIP bushels of corn on an acre at an expense of S1s cents bushel did indeed achieve more than any other boy among the 55,000 corn boys of 1911. He really did more to show what Alabama soil and sunshine are good for than any other person, boy or man, in this state did this year.

Regarding Crime in This County


 If pistol toting could be abolished In Jefferson county we would have fewer fiomicdes," said an old citizen, "but the frightful number of murders is due, to a very large extent, to the failure of juries to convict the men who are indicted and whose guilt is proven. If our juries had acted like Virginia Juries there would be many more executions in this part of the country and ultimately fewer homi- cides. It Is a rare thing, indeed, for murderer in Virginia to escape the death penalty. Neither money nor in- fiuence eNer saves a man like Beattie, who was electrocuted in Richmond only a few weeks ago.
 My prohibition friends used to think that prohibition law would greatly min imize bloody crimes, if 1t did not end them altogether. But it is fact that while we had prohibition enactments on the books the murder record in this county ran higher than ever.
 "The pastors who took up the grand Jury report and issued a ringing ad- dress to the people did the right thing, and all law abiding citizens should back them up in their effort to arouse public sentiment touching crime.
 q heard a well known judge say the other day that 1t might be worth while to organize keep-outof jaip societies total abstinence from jail for at least one year. My friend, the judge, was indulging in dry humor, perhaps. but 1x- |. tiOr, seriously and act upon 1t. Crusaders in the cause of temperance have &C., eomplished a great deal by inducing men to sign a pledge to abstain from liquor. Why not have a crusade seek ing to induce whites and blacks Of the rowdy class to take a pledge to keep out of jail If few thousand men in this county were to take such a pledge We would have a much better moral condition here"
