MISTAKES AND MOTIVES.

MIS- AXES AND MO IINEOs
The world is freer to criticise mis-
take than to consider motive. 1t
is working the fddle-strings of popu-
lar applause for all they are worth.
The man who. refusing to play to the
galleries, goes on doing the best he
knows how, acting from a sincere mo-
tive, suffers some disparagement. He
does not succeed often in getting the
world to examine the why's and
wherefores Of his action, because 1t
is not in line with what at the time
the world regards as proper, says the
Omaha Bee. The truth is, words are
overvalued in the mart Of public dis
cussion and deeds pay the penalty OF
the shorts. There is too much wa
tered stock in one and too little at
tention to the intrinsic value of the
other. Words are good and only SO
when backed by deeds" That is the
maxim OF the man with motive to
hinge his mistake" upon, however
unfairly some Of the old friends or
this truism may be treating It, An
ancient wise man phrased the same
principle another way: "For as ne
thinketh in his heart, so is he." He
who moves from the standpoint OF
stern conviction may make mistakes.
but he is a much safer man to follow
than the one who trains his wireless
to catch the currents of popular
thought.

an annual business in toys aggregating

ones is more of serious business en-

products give more solid satisfaction
in the world than those of most any

Broker Behind Fight Talks

Chicago, December 19.-The man behind the 24 cent storage egg sale, which will be conducted here tomorrow by mem bers of the Womens Clean Food league, is a Chicago wholesale egg dealer. He made public his connection with the cru sade tonight after many inquiries as to the source of the finances behind the movement had been made.
 He said he became associated with the women in the fight in the hope that cer- tain dishonest wholesalers and dishonest retailers" might find it impossible longer to boost produce prices when conditions did not warrant. If there be any loss as a result of the sale, he said, he alone would stand it. They will pay him 201a cents for each dozen they sell and the 31a cents profit will go into the league treasury.
 'I hope to break even on the sale, the dealer said, but 1 am not certain that l shall l already have invested about 5000 in organization work. The eggs have cost me from 1S1s to 19% cents a dozen besides the cost of handling and eXpressage. If l lose I do not care for this fight has been one of great educa- tonal benefit. The better element in the egg trade is in hearty sympathy with the movement
 Eggs will be placed on sale at nine places tomorrow. They will be sold in three six and nine dozen lots.
 All of the eggs were candled today and the seconds were disposed of at 13 cents q dozen.

RENDERED BY THE
 ALABAMA SUPREME COURT

Montgomery December 19--(Special) - The enactment of the statewide prohibit tion laws of 1907 had the effect of invali- dating the contract entered into between the Greil Brothers company, wholesale liquor dealers of Montgomery, and T. II. Mabson, hotel proprietor here, for the rem of a place of business to be used for a barroom, according to an opinion rendered today by the supreme court.
 The suit was entered by Mabson against Greil Brothers in the fall of 1909. The plaintiff claimed damages because the de- fendants refused to pay rent on a bar room which the latter had leased from Mabson prior to the enactment of the prohibition laws. On the other hand, Greil Brothers contended that their con- tract had been vitiated by the legislature in putting prohibition into effect and that, therefore, they were not liable. The Montgomery circuit court decided in favor of the plaintiff
 The supreme court in a decision writ ten by Chief Justice James R. Dowdell, reversed the case and remanded it for q new trial. Chief Justice Dowdell held
