links al Van Cortlandt Park has been
brought forward in a petition now oelhg
circulated among frequenters of the course
suggesting a change that may be accept
able TO those who object 10 the present
plans of the Park Department.

made 10 the course shortens II too much'
The new plan, it says in the petition, would
lengthen the course instead and make II
fully 5000 yards long and the equal TO the

II IS suggested that the original seven
teenth hole. which the Park Department
has cut in two, be restored and called the
tenth and that there Re built a brand new
hole called the eleventh. The green Of this
hole IL IS suggested. could be placed on a
line twenty-one yards from the curriers'
house and forty yards from the seven

IIatplns Of royal Copenhagen porcelain
arc very popular. and deservedly so. They
seem especially appropriate for use in sum-

flies, birds and other creatures that one
meets in the fields and woods and all are
reproduced in the soft grays. blues, browns

porcelain Mounted on silver gilt. these
prices range from 81 30 to s.. Among the

The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-02-25

President Taft has announced that Though the heavens fall he is in the race to a finish" On the democratic side Gov. Judson Harmon has also announced his candldacy--in fact he has kept steadily at the announcing business for the last two years.
 Both of these distinguished gentlemen are from ohio-both have judicial minds and temperments-thei dispositions and predisposition are very similar.
 There is very marked difference be- tween a judicial mind and a broad, sym pathetic mind. Neither of the gentlemen named has any active sympathy for man. kind under adverse condition and en- vironments.
 A judicial mind adheres to the strict let ter of the law--not to the equities of a case. A judicial mind assumes that a prisoner may be theoretically innocent; but that the fact that a grand jury has presented an indictment against a pris- oner is evidence of his guilt; and that the fore it follows that judicial mind is fitted for civil cases-property trials and not trials of persons or persons trials.
 Both Taft and Harmon are stand patters both bow the knee to Baal, and both look long and lovingly in the direction of "syndicated interests"
 LaFollette and Wilson belong to another type-both are theorists. Both have a metaphysical trend and are similar in dis- positions and their predispositions. Both are finished, scholarly statesmen of the theoretical school. They differ as widely from a practical statesman as city agri- culturist does from the practical success full farmer They have studied and writ ten long disquisitions upon all govern mental functions and both have cast aside their well grounded conclusions when the masses clamored for something new Both are of the Bryan type-all three fatalists- all three believing that they were pre- ordained to lead the masses, Moses like, from bondage to liberty. Both LaFollette and Wilson are catering to the states con- trolled by the Mormon hierarchy as Pro gressives," and while it is the cunning. crafty policy of the ruling elders to aid and abet this controversy, those Mormon controlled states will cast their votes for MT. Taft if he is the nominee of the re- publican party.
 That LaFolette and Wilson are sincere we will admit, and so is MT. Bryan; but but do we not all know that the followers of Mahomet are also sincere-just as the Mormons are sincere; but sincerity is not evidence of the truth of any proposition.
 
 Roosevelt and Clark have many char acteristics in common. Both are untamed and untameabe-they champ the bit and buck like broncho. Both are impetuous and foreeful. Their phraseology as re- ported is often wrong-very wrong-but their original Statements are right-always right. Both are aggressive, rather than progressive-both able, sincere, impetuous even to rashness-and of course have a following-those that admire such traits in

younger men, continued this executive. 'Of course this may not apply in hiring men for some jobs, but as a rule II is a safe policy to pursue. Young men holding positions of more or less responsibility in the offices of a concern are more cas- fly tempted to spend money that does not belong to them, especially when they are entrusted with it over night. Take our collectors, for instance, who start out at [ 80 a. m. and are not required to report at the office again until the following morning. I could recite several instances of young men who came In the oe77r - after and told me they were short be- cause they had been in bad eompadg e.ie night before and had spent some of the money they collected.
