From Ju6gt.
 Pat was standing near the car track wnen lie noticed an automobile coming up tine street, and 10 be safe he steppeo back a little from the car track.
 The auto went past, and, just as It was pa ssirg the driver had an occasion to turn off the track. When he did, the auto skidded on the car track, causing the back end of it to swing around stiih- ing Pat and knocking him down.

A political wag has remarked that money talks-especialy when It s democratic. intimatingA that Baltimore was awarded the convention over its competitors of the west and east because of it's certified check for s1O0, 600. The fact is however the Maryland city was chosen chiefly because it's location presented cer- tain party advantages that were not to be found either in the north or beyond the Mississippi.
 In like manner the candidacy of a southern democrat (and by that we mean who will be broadly representative of the south's best thought and tradition would prove eminently desirable from a national point of view.

Excise Commission compIImented

William Craig of New York, who is touring the country on an inspection trip for a large wholesale whisky house, has completed 12 day stay in Birmingham After visiting every city from Toronto to New Orleans and from New York to San Francisco, he makes the following statement in reference to Birmingham: ::
 Conditions in Birmingham are better than anywhere else in the United States I have seen the operation of saloons in every city, and in each have made a close study of conditions.
 ''T find that in Jefferson county the saloons have been put in the care of type of men higher than the average. These proprietors obey the law I desire to state that the excise commission has shown fine discretion in making it's ap- pointments
 "The Alabama liquor laws, which have studied carefully, are first class. They were evidently mapped after the Toronto laws, which are said to be the best on the American continent. The main difference between the laws of Toronto and Alabama is that in the Cam adian city, in addition to a $1sOo license, the saloon proprietor is compelled to pay the government ? per cent. of all money received each day above s60. Alabama adopted the wiser plan of making the license higher.
 'I am preparing an article on whisky conditions in Alabama, and it will neces- sariy contain big compliment for the excise commission

SOUTHERNER FOR PRESIDENT

the six and forty and her trade follows the flag into distant lands.
 In a political as well as an economic sense, the south is thoroughly and broadly American. She is the very leader of progressive thought in the one great national issue of the day. The republi- car party stands condemned by the peo- .ple largely because of iis alsroken pledge to reform a tariff system that plunders the common welfare for the aggrandize- ment of special interests. The demo- cratic party has won the countrys confi- dence because of the good faith and the sober wisdom with which it has set out to remedy this evil Wff
 The tariff is to be the pivotal issue of the Forthcoming presidential campaign, the basic issue on which democracy rests it's hope of success. The south has ever been the leading exponent of tariff re- form Decades ago it proclaimed thisI doctrine, in which Americans the nationi over have come to believes; and so thel convictions and the purpose that domi- nate the country on the eve of the 19l2l campaign are peculiarly southern in theiri origin and development.
 Under such conditions, nothing could be, more opportune or logical than the dem-l oeratic candidacy of a man represented tive of southern things. Such candidatal would be acceptable to the country at, large His election would clear away the. last traces Of sectionalism and would ce-, ment anew the unity of the nation. Not. simply as a matter of justice to theI south, but chiefly in the interests of thel party as a whole. the national conven-I ton would do we'll to choose the demo-L cratic standard bearer with these ideass and these ends in view.

 Reclamation is the reverse of irri- gation and one is as valuable as the other. Both are excellent in places, and one should not be permitted to obscure or eclipse the other. The country needs great deal of reclama- tion as well as of irrigation. We have lands too wet as well as lands too dry for cultivation, and the govern ment should aid both, for both mean a fuller development of the country.
