SANITARY BAKERY
 ORDINANCE ADOPTED

Mobile, July 1s.-tSpecial)-A san itary bakery ordinance has been adopt ed by the city commission after a lengthy discussion of its provisions Be tween the members of the commission and dozen bakers. The jail was amended to meet all reasonable objec- tions. .
 The proposed ordinance calling for loaves of bread to be so stamped as to show their weight was strenuously objected to by the bakers through Cor don Smith. the owner of the largest bakery here and the chosen spokesman of tho bread makers. MT. Smith said there was no way of guaranteeing the weight of a loaf as its weight de- creases while being baked; also that a loaf is heavier on a damp day that it would be were the weather dry.
 After two hours of discussion the commission took the weight ordinance under advisement.

STATE COMMITTEE WILL DO ITS DUTY Goodwin Intimates That National Committeeman
 Will Not Be in Charge

Should the national democratic execu- charge of the Alabama campaign in be. half of Wilson and Marshall, the Ala. bama democratic state committee will oppose.
 Tyler Goodwin, chairman of the latter committee, in a letter to The Age-Her- ald, intimates as much. He considers the determination of the national com mittee distinct and unwarranted as vel as unnecessary departure. He declares also, that the state committee will mol dodge the responsibility under which il is placed.
 Ex-Gov William D. Jelks, national com mitteeman from Alabama, has not re- turned from Chicago, where he attended the meeting of the committee. For that reason necessary light is not thrown hand was contained in an Associated Press dispatch of some days ago and was to the effect that the national commit teemen would take charge of the cam paigns in the several states. Chairman Goodwin says
 'The campaign for the democratic nom inees will be conducted in Alabama as heretofore by the state organization. Of course, the wishes of the national com mitteeman will be largely considered and his advice generally followed The state committee will not seek to avoid the re- sponsbility resting on it and vii con- duct the state campaign unless some higher party authority deprives 1t of that privilege.
 This has been the unbroken and proper party custom for 50 years, and at this time I know of no special reason for a change.
 "All the party nominees national. state and county, will be taken care of thor oughly by the state committee. We or dinarily need about a six weeks cam paign in Alabama, but on>account of this being presidential year we will begin a little earlier than usual"

LINCOLN M|SQUOTED
SON OF MARTYRED PRESIDENT
SHOWS ROOSEVELT ALTERED
HIS LANGUAGE
WRITES EMPHATIC LETTER
Robert T. Lincoln Makes II Plain
That the Colonel Has Nothing in
Common With the Patriotic Exec
utive Of War Time.

Theodore Roosevelt is fond OF as
,erting his own resemblance to Abra
aam Lincoln and OF quoting from the
words OF the martyred president in
support OF the radical Rooseveltian
theories
But Robert T. Lincoln. in letter to
Chairman Hilles OF the Republican ma
tional committee. points out that Mr.
Roosevelt has deliberately altered"
the words of Lincoln and has found
ed arguments upon the misquotation.
The letter is a complete expose of
Mr. Roosevelt's method of seeking
votes. 1t shows that Abraham Lin
coin had nothing in common with
Roosevelt, and that the latter. in at
tempting to juggle with the name of
the martyred president, is imposing
upon the American people.
Mr. Roosevelt has never yet ex-
planned why he deliberately altered
the words OF President Lincoln to suit
his own purposes, nor has he apollo
gized for his Misrepresentation. On
the contrary he has ignored the grave
charges contained in Mr. Lincoln's let
ter. which Is as follows:
Manchester, Vermont. April 27. 1912.
My Dear Mr.. Hilles: You ask what
I think of. the repeated assertions by
Mr. Roosevelt. that his attitude on
certain radical doctrines is supported
by the recorded views OF my father.
The proper answer to your inquiry
cannot be made in a few words The
government under which my father
Iiyai US n iS h1ir n
representative democracy checked by
the Constitution, which can be
changed by the people, but only when
acting by methods which compel delib
Grafton and exclude so far as is pos
eible the effect OF passionate and
short-sighted impulse. A government
in which the checks of an established
Constitution are actually, or practical
ly, omitted--oMe in which the people
act in mass directly on all questions
and not through their chosen repre-
sentatiyes-is an unchecked democ-
racy, a form of government so full Of
danger. as shown by history, that it
has ceased to exist except in commune
ties small and concentrated as to
space. A New England town meet
in a large city. or state, would be
chaos.
"As l understand it. the essence of
Mr.. Rooseyelts proposals is that we
shall adopt the latter form of govern
ment in place of the existing form.
This. In simple words Is proposed
revolution, peaceful perhaps. but a
revolution. In support OF these revo-
lutionary doctrines. which II success
full would abolish the form and the
spirit of our existing government. and
surely, think lead to attempted die
tatorships resort is had to what is
claimed to be the words and teachings
Of President Lincoln. 1t must be as
sumed that, though he has been dead
nearly fifty years, his influence is still
felt as being that Of a wise and pa
triotic citizen. II that Is true, we are
all interested in having his opinions
and sayings truthfully stated. and my
interest is naturally peculiar.
