1.-THE amendments to the Sherman anti
trust law, which the Stanley commit
tee will report. have the stamp of pop
ulism, and l hope the democratic House
will not adopt them said an old dem
ocratic voter
Monopoly and tariff beneficiaries should
be eurbed. but the best way is to have
all the big interests and every concern
that might be suspected of operating in
restraint of trade regulated as the inter-
state commerce railroads are regulated.
The Stanley committees antitrust meas
ures would, IL enacted into law. hurt
business more than anything that has
yet been done by the politicians.
~ do not suppose the democrats ex-
pect these proposed amendments to be-
come law. but If democratic congressman
are only playing politics, they are play
ing very poor politics. In several pres
idential campaigns the democrats have
chased rainbows; but they should learn
by experience and not try rainbow. chas-
ing this year.
'Populistic legislation or proposed leg
islation, may please some of the ex-
IRENE progressives of the west, but what
good does 1t do for the democrats to
play to the west? Mr. Wilson must carry
New York and several other doubtful
states of the east as well as the solid
south. The Stanley committee will GER
tainly not help the democratic cause.
1t will on the other hand make Taft's or
Roosevelt's election possible.
'Humanly speaking, neither Taft nor
Roosevelt has the ghost of show OF
winning in November. But II the dem
ocrats are so unwise as to pass the
Stanley committee amendments no tell
ing what will happen"

afternoon beginning at 5, or few minutes
thereafter. 49,
1T had been announced that the Sat
urday afternoon concert would continue
as late as 1880 o'clock, but as 1t is dark

the band to play after nighfail unless

'In two weeks from now Il will be dark
at o'clock. Five o'clock is quite late
enough to begin in the summer, and as
the programme consumes two hours II
will be best to have these Rhodes Cir
Gle concerts scheduled as last week
from to Z.
Even II lights were provided, 1880
o'clock would be rather late, as many
people living on the highlands have din

BUSINESS MEN ARE HONEST
From Leslie's Weekly.

The business men of this country as
general thing are honest. If there
are exceptions they apply to every one
else. The jails. the poorhouse, the in
sane asylums are not flled with bust
ness men. 1t is not the offspring of
business men that fill our orphan
asylums. The American business man
is as square, honest and just as the
business man Of any part Of the world

him."

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Presidential Appointments for Biz
Infngham

mtngham
In naming successor to Mr.. j. o
Thompson. who has just vacated the office
of collector of internal revenue for Ala
bama and Mississippi with headquarters
in Birmingham. President Taft will not,
1t may be taken for granted. make a
permanent appointment without consult
ing Senator Joseph F. Johnston" said
an old politician
THE senator naturally expects TO be
consulted about presidential appointments
that have to be acted on by the Senate.
1t will be recalled that the President
made the mistake of appointing post
master without saying anything to SEN
ator Johnston about it. The. senator stood
on his rights by what he considered the
rules of official courtesy. The President
had to back-track and appoint man
who had the senator's approval in advance
of senatorial action.
DIR. U. G. Mason, the we'll known col
ored physician, is one of the best colored
men l ever knew, but IL President Taft
should appoint him collector. Senator
Johnston would certainly be heard from.
No colored man appointed by the Pres
ident to an office in the south would
be confirmed by the Senate.

Trolley Pole. on FIFTH Avenue

81 was glad that The Age-Herald called
attention to the unsightly appearance of
the trolley poles being erected on Fifth
avenue for the Tidewater line, and that
the company was urged to replace these
poles with something ornamental" said
a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
LAS The Age-Herald said, those visitors
arriving at the Terminal station, and
who see Birmingham for the first time,
would get a much better impression of
the city If, in coming down Fifth ave-
nue., iron trolley posts of ornamental de-
sign were used instead of these huge,
clumsy-looking poles.
THE Tidewater management should
certainly use ornamental poles as far
west as Seventeenth street. From Sew
enteenth street to the Terminal station
is only nine blocks. In these nine blocks
the difference between the poles that
have just been erected and ornamental
iron posts, would be comparatively In
signifcantr-not more than $1,000 probably
and certainly the iron posts would las,
as long as the wooden poles

REMARKABLE CASE
Dog Goes Mad After Being Bitten
Two Years

The following appeared in last
Sundays papers as a special from
Milan.
Several days ago w. E. Jacobs
and two sons, Oscar and Willie, of
this city, we're bitten by dog
thought to be mad, the dog was
kept confined and died. Drs.
Caldwell sent the head of the dog
to DR.. Leroy, of Memphis, for
analysis. Upon examination it was
found that the dog was afflicted
with hydrophobia and the Pasteur
treatment was administered to the
three patients.
Some days ago the mother Of
this dog went mad and bit this dog.
The mother was bitten about two
years ago on the farm Of j. ID.
Denny and at the same time three
hogs were bitten by mad dog.
The hogs died in few days and
the mother only developed hydro
phobia about ten days ago.

Drinking Cups

A lady from the country asks the
publication of the following:
Invitations have been sent out
by the various business houses in
Huntingdon to their patrons and
friends outside of town to make
their stores headquarters while Wis
iting the county fair. The w. G.
I. U. are again arranging a rest
room" as during previous fairs.
1t is to be noted that each has an
nounced that there will be plenty
of free ice water to drink. Owing
to the fact that it will be impos-
s.b!e for the merchants and the
W. G. 7. U. to provide individual
drinking cups or to provide for
the proper cleansing of their cups
it will be necessary for each one
to bring a drinking cup in order
to protect himself from the con-
tamination of the public cup.

ate. Glorious for Sandersl But
tough on Tennessee and jackson, 2
continued the former governor.
He recited the pledges Of the
democratic party and bound him
self to their earnest support, if
elected.
His position on the whisky ques-
ton boiled down is to bring the
saloons back to the large cities and
then law can be enforced, bat an
der present conditions law-enforce-

He reviewed Hooper's admins

CAMPAIGN OPENS
The Welkins Will Soon Ring
With Orat0ry

The political campaign in Ten
nessee is now in full swing. Last
week was a week of developments,
committee meeting and convention,
and this week of campaign open
ings.
Last Monday, at l o'clock, Ben
ton McMillin, the nominee Of the
regular democrats for governor,
fired his opening gun at Cookville.
This was the signal for the artil-
lery to be turned loose and speech
making is now the order of the
day.
Gov. Hooper, nominee of the
republicans and independent demo-
Gratis, followed with his opening
speech Wednesday night at Knox
vile. There will be no joint de-
bate between McMillin and Hooper.
w. F. Poston, candidate of the
progressive party for governor,
opened his campaign some time
ago, He, however, added some
interest to the political situation
By issuing a challenge to his OPP
ponents for a joint debate, but his
desires along this line will hardly
be gratitied.
Quite a list of speakers are taxi
ing the stump in the interest of
the various state tickets.
