Must Not Disturb Business

T am opposed to the extra session or Congress immediately after March A." said Robert Jemison, Jr. Birmingham oc- cupies a peculiar position In referencap to tariff legislation and we should go slow in that important matter The general condition of this country is good, and if we4refrain from going after this tariff business until it is fully comprehended by the Congress we will make big hit with the country. The tariff is most vital matter and nothing should be done l in that connection which would disturb | business"
 q should think offhand that an extra | session some time next fall might be all right if the leaders want it. said Will liam l |. Conniff, but to have one immedi- ately after the inauguration of President Wilson would be @ mistake in my judg-
 ment. That question Is one that Con
 gresman Underwood and the leaders should determine, and I rely faithfully
 upon their discretion in the matter" h T believe that the democratic leaders
 will have enough matters to engage their
 attention when President Wilson goes ir
 without flurdling direct at the tariff
 said John L. Parker. That is a question i that Is of national importance, and il
 handled improperly might disturb business
 very greatly. That is what we wish tC | avoid by all means"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-11-10
Should Redeem Party Pledge

T think the Congress should be con vened within a reasonable time after President Wilson goes into office,' said Judge Lane. "Of course, the tariff should be approached prudently, as 1 am sure Congressman Underwood will see to that However. there should not be any un- reasonable delay in redeeming the pledges of demoeracy.''
 A. l.. Fulenwider said: "I think an i'm mediate extra session of Congress would be deplorable. It must be remembered that the new democratic administration consists of so many men that there are sure to be widely different ideas about what should be done. This makes 1t im- perative for the party leaders to wait un- til they have gone over the situation and decided just what is best.
 ''Hasty Legislation Is sure to be dis turbing to business. The country has had hard enough time during the past few years, and things are just now beginning to hum. It would be deplorable to inter- fere without careful consideration"

Harry Iones Finds Opposition

Harry Jones, one of the best known travelling salesmen of the state believes that an extraordinary session would be unwise He gives that as his opinion. and quotes from numerous people in rural districts who are his customers to the same effect.
 An extraordinary session. stated MT. Jones, might disturb conditions, condi tions which are today excellent. Every body Is prosperous, everybody is selling and buying. and cotton is going up We all favor tariff for revenue only, but be- lieve that such a tariff can be devised and inaugurated by gradual stages. or at a session of Congress which is regularly scheduled
 This Is the opinion of tho merchants with whom l come in contact. No one wants the special session.

Stands With Underwood

I'm for anything oscar Underwood says said John w. Sibley last night. when asked his views concerning an extra session of Congress. Underwood knows more about the tariff than any man in America and if he says Let's have a special session of Congress- why. l say, Let's have a special session. The result of the Underwood tarin bill was from careful study, and they would have passed but for Taft. Now that the ob- stacle has been removed relief should not be denied longer. If democracy means anything, 1t means that the majority should rule.''
 The democrats have made lot of promises" said Oscar c. Turner. "and I think 1t is up to them to make good think it was the splendid work of the democrats In Congress, under the lead ership of Underwood that gave them the great victory. The best thing to do after making promises is to pay them,i and | think that as soon after the iuaugura- ton of Wilson as possible an extra ses- sion of Congress should be called and very carefully the work of fulfilling the promises should be taken up.''

to President. l have been studying them for many years and I cannot recall one which did not end in the utter ruin of the President who called 1t. The reel. rrocity extra session jf Mr. Taft rni"ed him in the west. where he was unusually strorg. Lad he not called that session a different story might have been told. President Wilson should by all means avoid that mistake and not call one imne- diately after March 1. The democratic party occupies now crucial position in CT history. The eyes of all this nation and others are upon US. We should os even snore conservative than we have eyer been in handling tho delicate tariff revision. ard I am sure that will be our attitude. The bills should be drawn by degrees ard in perfect patience, for no man, however filled with wisdom, can grasp the intrioacios of tariff measure within day or month or year.

ParA Expediency

'Viewing the matter from 8 standpoint of party expedency. I am forced to con cude that it would not be a part of wis dom to have an immediate session Of Congress. From the viewpoint of Presi- dent Wilson t would be unfortunate and from a business standpoint l am firmly convinced that it should not be done. Let this country have little rest from Hclt- tics. Let us Ievlse the tariff on a revenue basis, study prices, labor conditions and exports of all countries involved, and then take up the issue conservatively and re deem cur pledges to the people. This can be done and the general country will profit by that discretion and will think NastlV n1pre of the democrats"

thought-sin mean even more to you
than your outward deeds. A sin COM
mitted is bad enough, but by openness
it is already half cured, but foul and
wicked thoughts nursed in the mind
poison the whole character. And if you
only sit and think of kindness, courage
and beauty, you are doing much to help
along the world.
No thought is ever lost. The dye OF
it stains the mind
A love-thought without the deed is
better than a Iove-deed that is not born
of thought.
Thoughts are things. You are
thoughts. The world is thoughts. Learn
to deal with thoughts as with realities,
and SO to mold your life from within,
and not to have it shaped by the hazard
from without.

THE HoAT HnIS


Over the hills white road calls,
Luring the feet away;
Calling from dawn till twilight falls
Luring through night and day;
Hearts In the vale it's call obey,
And go on an endless quest,
But wiser the hearts who never stray
The old home hills are best!
Regions there are with summer queen,
Regal throughout the year,
crowned with bloom forever green,
And mountains blue and sheer;
There come the pilgrims from far and
near
Seeking land gods blessed,
But homeward again their gray barks
steer
The old home hills are besti
Ever the paths await the feet
Eager for scenes unknown,
Fair and faint are their windings fleet, &
Running from zone to zone;
But when they have failed and weary
grown,
Backward they turn to rest
Where hearts find peace and love, Its
own
The old home hills are best!
