Waste of Time to Tell Police.
Mr.. Johnsons store is within two
blocks of the store of NJ. F. Boisclair,
at No 81 Luckie street, which was
burglarized Monday night for the
sixth time in year. He declares
thai the experience Of Mr.. Boisclair
with the police has convinced him
that he would only be wasting his
Gme to notify the department.
What good does ii do to lock the
door after the horse has been stolen?"
Mr.. Johnson said we don't need
anybody to come out here after the
burglarles have been committed, to
take things down in a notebook and
then leave.
What we need and should have
is some officers out here who will
prevent the burglars from stealing
everything we've got. | could go and
call the police and tell them the

why don't they put these men to
work? Why don't they put uniforms
on them and let them patrol the resi-
dence districts and protect the prop
erty of the taxpayers, instead of doing
nothing, as they are now!
Nobody even dreams that they
have had anything to do with clean

From the number of burglaries that
are being reported-and | don't be-

looks to me like they have tried to
trade one evil for another without
getting rid of either"

ing he gives out his announcement as candidate for lieutenant governor and an accompanying statement to the end that he believes he will win.
 T am a candidate for lieutenant gov ernor, said MT. Chestnut last night, after his return from Montgomery q visited the Capital City this afternoon and qualified by depositing S10O with Tyler Goodwin, chairman of the democratic ex- ecutive committee. While I have a short bank account compared with that of the average man who offers for office in Ala bama, l will make Us extensive a canvass as I possibly can.
 q can see no reason why base ball umpire, if he has made good and is honest and capable, cannot serve the people in public office. I was born in Clanton, was reared in Birmingham, and was educated at the University of Alabama. I have always taken deep interest in politics and am ambitious to serve the state as lieutenant gov ernor. l think I have a good opportu- nifty to win and I will overlook no chance to further my candidacy.
 ''Therei is no special reason why a candidate for lieutenant governor should endeavor to inject issues into a campaign. I will say, however, that if elected. I will do what I can to pre- vent the railroads from ruling Ala bama, although I will not bait the railroads. We have had much of this In the past I am entirely satisfied with the situation as regards the sale in Alabama of intoxicating liquors. The people of each county should settle this matter for themselves. Were a tie to develop in the state senate in the at lempted passage of a statewide pro- hibition law l would break that tie by casting ballot in the negative. I am unalterably opposed to the statewide prohibition--or any other sumptuary legislation which designing politicians sometimes want to stuff down the throats of the people, willing or un- willing.
 At later date. I will issue a fuller statement. ] have nothing to say in way of adverse criticism of either of my opponents.'
 The other candidates for lieutenant governor are State Senator Thomas F. Kilby of Anniston and State Senator Thomas A. Curry of Clanton.

Majority Plan Will Prevail and Candidates for COm- mittee Should Notify
 the Chairman

The democratic executive committee of the Seventh district met yesterday at noon in the Morris hotel and set the date for the congressional primary of that dis trict for April 6. The majority plan will prevail If any citizen of the district wishes to become candidate for mem bership on the committee, he may so do by notifying the chairman, o. R. Hood. on or before March b.
 The meeting was attended by both the candidates for Congress, John l.. Bur nett, incumbent, and l.. B. Raney. Arem- bers in attendance were Gardner Greene secretary, and pr. C. c. Brown of St. Clair, William Siglln of Cherokee J. A. Davis of DeI<alb, w. P. Lay of Etowah, and O. $. Roden of Cullman. Dr. w .E. Howell of Winston was seated on the proxy of J. c. Taylor. MT. Lay held the proxy of o. R. Hood of Etowah, chair man of the committee. Following ,-.e meeting, pr.

The visitors would willingly forego all the entertainments in their honor-which necessarily are limited as to number of attendants-for warm, cordial and hearty southern welcome from the cit izens of this great district.
 And men and women of Birmingham m and district these women deserve all the honor you can give them. For the first tune in the history of the fem mist movement the executive board of the organization has decided to meet outside of New York. Of the many places of meeting suggested Birming- ham was selected. The suffrage move ment is young in Alabama vet these women decided to come south and surely the south will give them tha { warm, hearty welcome they have a right to expect
 While this meeting will be held un- der the auspices of the state and local equal suffrage association neither Mrs. Jacobs, president of the state associa- tion, nor Mrs. hindley, president of the local association, or any other of ficer or member of the state or local association will be admitted to the ex- ecutive meetings of the board. They are here to transact the business of the national association and at the same time give the local suffragists the advantage of their presence in the city.
 The board will be in session two days There will be two public mass meetings. At these meetings women whose voices have been heard in al most every city in the civilized world will speak. The suffrage cause will be presented by it's foremost. ablest and most eloquent speakers. The pulp lie is cordially invited to attend.
 A glance at the names of these great leaders is sufficient to justify any demonstration in their honor and in behalf. Compare the names of these women with some of the men that the city has done honor and the men will suffer by comparison. There are no nobler names in history than those of Dr. Anna Shaw. Miss Jane Addams, Mrs. Mary Ware Dennett, Mrs. Stan ley Mccormick, Mrs. James Lee Laid law, Mrs. Medill Mccormick. Mrs. An toinette Funk, Mrs. Joseph Triton Bow CTS and others equally distinguished.
 Then let everyone lend a part in doing them honor if in nothing else than by the wearing of a button or badge or ribbon. Let every merchant, and the merchants do show more Bir- mingham spirit than any other class decorate his windows in suffrage col ors. Let every citizen remember that the advent of these great and noble women in the city of Birmingham their reception and treatment, will be neralded. not only throughout the United States, but throughout the civ ilized world.
 As has been already stated, Birming- ham will honor herself by honoring this group of most distinguished women.

 The construction of the plant and it's modern features as compared to some of the other plants has attracted wide at tention in the industrial world and there is much interest in the mill at Fair field It was stated officially yesterday that the extent of the visit of the party of officials was not known at this time. They will reach here in private car of the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern railroad and will determine the extent of their visit after looking over the plant.
 In connection with the plant at Fair field it is stated that a great deal of interest is being taken as to the con signee of the first order from that oper- ation.
