 MT. Goodwin, while declining 10 make statement in this regard, intimated that he thought a convention should be or dered to name the delegates to the na- tional convention rather than permit a primary to discharge that duty. He inti- mated, too. that he is opposed to the idea of holding primary for the nomina- ton of candidate for the presidency. He stated, however, that he was more than willing to pursue any course which would tend to better the chances of Un- derwood
 'I know of nothing at the present time," stated the chairman, which in dicates that there will be a necessity of calling the state committee together prior to January. In case anything does develop, however, requiring the attention of the committee. 1t can be convened at any time. It Is probable, however, that the committee will not meet before Jan uary, and at that meeting a date for a state primary will be set, and a date for a state convention"
 According to MT. Goodwin, in polit- ical sense, Alabama is very quiet at the present time. In reference to a report that he was in the city to inquire into the alleged deals in gas stock, which are to be investigated in Birmingham next Thursday, MT Goodwin said that he had absolutely nothing to do with that matter, and expressed himself as happy in that fact He returned to Montgom- cry yesterday afternoon.

Laboring Man and Liquor

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 The interview with Judge Skeggs ir this mornings paper would be sub Timely ridiculous, were it not for his exalted position and the influence his opinion would likely exert upon the outside world
 The argument about the skilled la horer needing his liquor in order to be efficient or satisfied with his environ ments was used strenuously in the pro- hibition campaign four years ago. It was repudiated by the votes of said skilled labor and the almost unani- nous testimony of our large industrial concerns in the recent campaign was to the effect that skilled labor had been more plentiful, more efficient and bet ter satisfied under prohibition regime even with the lax enforcement of the law, than ever before. This was SC incontrovertible that the speakers and managers of the local option forces never attempted to use that fallacious argument and 1t Is surprising that SC observant and well informed man as Judge Skeggs would not have become acquainted with the facts.
 I do not believe that our court rec ords will show that any significant number of our skilled workmen were arrested as patrons of blind tigers and l have not observed them flock ing to the saloons for drinks since they were opened. Judge Skeggs, uninten tionally. l am sure, casts an unwar- lanted aspersion upon the laboring ciasses, when he insinuates that 1t is necessary to run saloons in order that they may conduct themselves in an honest and respectable manner.
 And | venture the assertion that a careful analysis of the vote in the re- cent election will prove conclusively that the real ,workingman, both skilled and ordinary. voted in favor of prohi- bition. Regardless of what our views may be on the wisdom or desirability of prohibition, l think 1t is unfair te ascribe to the workingman monopoly of all the frailties that humanity is heir to. Respectfully.

stranger here and had but vague
idea Of where her relatives had resid-

Of parties who put her on the right
track. A. Steinbach kindly assisted
her in locating her relatives and by
inquiry from her, learned that they
had been getting mail at lone post Of

FAMOUS PAINTINGS PORTRAYED
BY LIVE MODEL,

To art lovers, the original sketch by
Albert Gray, who presents 1.-THE Artist

and we'll worthy of the reception it re-
ceives. While his magnificent bari

audiences in grand opera, Mr.. Gray
conceived this plot representing q
poor artist, unable to sell his paintings
and having lost his model, sits in
melancholy reflection in his destitute
studio. With song lifted to the men,
ory of his dead model, the portrayal
of famous paintings appear in beauti-
full poise and color, shown by the aid
of electrical effect, and has captivated
the people who have seen it. The re.
markable beauty of the representa-.
tions are better understood when it is
known that the highest form of the
painters art is conceded to be of the
human figure, and only those who have
made an actual study of art can appre-
ciate the enormous difficulties involv-

light and shade, the artistic showing
of the human form with all it's subtle
beauties of outline, and delicate in
Elections of color and harmony, unas-
listed by the picturesque accessories

DON'T PULL OUT THE GRAZ

When gray hairs appear it is sign
that nature needs assistance. 1t IL

Ing out is not necessarily sign Of
advancing age, for there are thous-
ands of elderly people with perfect
heads of hair without a single streak
of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems to be lifeless or dead,
some good, reliable hair-restoring
treatment should be resorted to at
once. Specialists say that one of the
best preparations to use is the old
fashioned sage tea," which our grand
parents used. The best preparation
of this kind is Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy, preparation
of domestic sage and sulphur, scien-
tifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stimulants,
the whole mixture being carefully
balanced and tested by experts.

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS.
CIVIC INTEREST.

The following editorial from the
Mohall News shows the proper spirit
and by following the example of Mo.
hall many cities can profit:
There are people who live in our
cities and villages for years without
one thought of making them beauti-
full. This can be said of Mohall, the
past two years. When the council, a
year or so ago, decided to put in
drains, two of our citizens assumed
the responsibility until such time
when the council could make assess
ments; when the council ordered &C.
ment sidewalks built, everyone cheer
fully paid his bills. with few excep-
tons, and the city may we'll feel
proud. At every forward step which
the mayor and the council have taken
the people have ultimately given their
silent approval with their time and
money. There are also at work such
forces as publicity-the powerful of
all agencies in the upbuilding of COM
munities: the civic pride without
which little of far reaching effect for
the common good can be accom-
plished.
In the identifying of our city there
is certainly glory enough for all, and
no one need stand behind his neigh
Dor in his city's social advancement.
IN the coming weeks there are many
things to do. This spring the yards
that have no trees should be sup
piled with these perennial sources of
blessing which in the summer give us
shade and in the winter shelter-and
always a home for the birds that add
so much to our surroundings. Flow
ers can be planted and neighbor can
vie with neighbor in the making of
beautiful lawns, which will be admired
by every passer by. No street, no
alley should be left in an unkempt
condition. "A few minutes of time
will clean up many an unsightly cor.
ner, and if every citizen puts his
shoulder to the wheel, much can be
accomplished without great expense
either to the city or to the individus
himself.

The better UNDERGONE noticed in
these advices during the past two
weeks is making slow but certain pro-
gress. Notwithstanding the dizziness
in business there is distinctly more
cheerful tone in financial circles.
The main influence contributing to
this change is the abundance of cheap
money. In all parts of the world there
is a plethora of idle funds at low
rates. and this is especially true in
the United States, according to Hen
~ Clews' weekly report. To a lin
tied extent this is the result of the
continued large gold production; but
it is mainly due to the inactivity of
business and speculation, which caus-
es funds to accumulate, and to a de-
cline in commodities, enabling a Civ
en- sum to 60 further.
The greatest accumulation of idl
money is at New York because inter
ior banks force their surplus upon
their New York correspondents in the
hope that the latter may be able to
find employment even at low rates.
At the moment there is a good deal
of nearby money in New York,
which is not likely to be required for
the next three or four months. Eur
ope owes US large sums on account OF
security purchases and in payment for
our exports, and under present con-
ditions it pays better to allow these
sums to remain abroad as loans. Later
on in the year when the interior be
gins to withdraw its funds from the
center then, If not sooner, We may
expect gold imports upon a liberal
scale. This week currency ship.

APPROPRlAIES
A Freight TRAIN

LaMoure Chronicle: The dull mo
notony of early spring was quite in
terestingly broken Wednesday after
noon through the mental and physica
alterations of one, styling himself
Emile Anderson. He walked jauntily
into the N. P. Express Office and with
the nonchalance and ease that would
have done credit to Rockefeller, casu
ally asked for a telegraph blank, say
ing he wished to wire his brother al
Geneva, Wis.,, for a couple of hundred
dollars-more or less. why not make
it $780," blandly suggested the ur'
bane Mr.. Powers. The princely gen
tleman of fortune smilingly acquiesced
but was unable to dig the requisite
60 cents. With an air of one con
fering a favor he asked some bystand'
ing knights Of the grip to supply the
deficiency. but they were all little
too coy. Anyhow, he went out, got the
money, it is said, by paWning his
purse, and the message was sent.
Meanwhile the west bound freight had
drawn up and the trainmen had gone
into the depot. When they stepped out
again the train was speedily following
the trail of the setting sun. 1t seems
that the Anderson fellow had climbed
to the top of the caboose and given
the engineer the "highball," with the
result that the train was soon hitting
the rails for the: west. The engineer
took a tumble about two miles out
and backed in, mad as a wet hen, nor
were his ruffled. feelings in any way
soothed by the unfeeling and even
scornful remarks of the waiting crew.
They promptly chased the imposter
'breaky" towards the water tank.
The scene then changes to D. S. Del
SENS farm, whittier the man next
wandered. Here he demanded 100
lunches and other little favors,
and threatened for while to become
unruly." DR.. Deisem 'phoned into
town for help, and dray load of hast
lily impressed deputies headed by Sher-
if Crist, promptly relieved him of his
unwelcome guest and transferred him
to the solitary seclusion of the coun-
ty Jail. And so to this little tale We
write fms.
