racN. the battle which was seen by Mir. Gladstone to be impending when he spoke of the day of strife between the classes and the masses. The resignation of the officers from their commands is part of the plan to destroy democracy, since al- most all of the commissioned officers in the English army are the sons of the English aristocracy. These officers care no more about home rule for Ireland than they care about home rule for Timbuetoo, but every one of them knows that David Lloyd George has a land bill ready to lay before Parliament that will hand over their ancestral estates to the farmers and toiers of England. That's the spirit of democracy. hence democracy must be destroyed. Every one of these commits stoned officers is either an heir or related to member of the House of Lords, but Mir. Asquith has a bill ready to lay be- fore Parliament abolishing the House of Lords What do these young officers care about theN spinners and weavers in Belfast, or the covenant, or William of Orange when they see government with 100 majority behind it ready to introduce and able to pass laws that will mean the extinction of their cherished power and privilege! Issues far greater than home rule are at stake in this struggle, but such issues can have but one ending, and that is in the triumph of the people. Eng tiSii htlhottdtN VIII Sustht bll tilt NTuSii- ing weight under which it has been bowed down for centuries; fl will straighten itself up and walk erect looking the whole world in the face instead of "the bated breath and whispering humbleness" that were it's distinguishing characteristics in the past
 The establishment of home rule in Ire land will be a matter of more far-rea ch- ing effects than appears on the surface. Just its defeat wp1fld the dpfaat of the liberal government and the down. Tall of Its whole political programme. so does it's success mean the success of the liberal government and the success of de- mocracy. Home rule means much for Ire- land. The defeat of home rule tomorrow would not be it's death but 1t would be the death of democratic hopes in England The unionists could not carry a general electin tomorrow and hold office without the support of Redmond and his so votes The unionists would gladly give the Irish a home rule bill if by so doing they could save themselves from the catastrophe which threatens them if the present gov ernment remains in office Therefore, by desperation are the nionists made des- perate.
 What action the government will take in the cases of the officers who resigned is hard to tell, but their action will un- doubtedly make the government aware that such men are not to be relied upon when their interests clash with their al- leganee. There is great need for im- provement in the English army, so that men of merit and ability may rise from the ranks and become commissioned of hcers. This Is possible at present. but the pay is so small the recipient cannot live upon it, especially when his fellow officers are the sons of lords and dukes. Here's another issue arising out of the Irish home rule bill, and there may be more yet.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Pays Tribute to Captain White

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Please permit me through your pub lcstion to tell the voters of the state of Alabama what I know Of Capt. Frank s. White, candidate for election for the short term in the United States Senate
 I knew of him, first, as a Confederate soldier, who dared to do his duty. knew of him, second, in the days of re- construction in the state of Mississippi None were more faithful in the interest of white supremacy or took more per- scnal risks in freeing that devoted state from the yoke of the Freedman's bu- reau.
 After he came to Alabama, knowing him as I did, I urged him to take the ohsirmanship of the campaign committee (which SO gloriously returned Gen. John T. Morgan to the United States Senate We all remember how well he succeeded Captain White has never held an office He was, however, chairman of the state democratic convention that demanded a constitutional convention that gave us the present constitution.
 As man, a soldier, a citizen and loyal the pleasure of knowing his opponent a young man of parts; but he can afford to await future honors. Respectfully,
 c. W. HOOPER. Selma, Ala, March 21, 1914.

Veteran M. H. Wells sneaks

One of the most interesting addresses that has been made in sometime at the meetings of the local Confederate camps was given Saturday afternoon at the regular meeting of Camp Hardee by M. H. Wells, former chaplain of the camp, and one of its charter members. MT. Wells took for his subject, Camp Har- dee. Past and Present." and in the most interesting manner told the history of the camp from the organization down to recent years. The camp was organ ized in the early sos and was not only the first Confederate eamp to be organ ized in this great district but one of the first in the entire state. MT. Wells in his address spoke of the men who were present when the camp was first organ fixed, many of whom have passed to the great beyond. and of the influence they had had in the growth and development of the city. He spoke of the building of cottage at the old Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek, and of the many thousands of dollars that the camp had expended for charity.

 The visitors will number about 60 and with the 100 local Rotarians pilgrimage will start for the Lyric theatre. At that theatre the body will occupy space di- rectly in the center of the theatre. Pre- vicusly, however, there Twill be confer ences between MT. Lazarus and others of the entertainment committee with some of the actors and actresses at the Lyric.

After the show is over, the crowd will adjourn to the press club, where Secretary Dam eron will have a banquet ready for the hosts and guests. About 160 will be at this affair. In this connection it is an- nounced to members of the press club that on account of this special affair the press club dining room will be closed at g o'clock Wednesday night.
 The cabaret performances at the press club, which will be handled by profess sional talent, will be, in effect a grid ironing for the visitors. The banquet will last until the visitors are accompa- ned to their Pullmans, which will be at tached to the early morning Louisville and Nashville train for the return to Montgomery.
 handling the affair are bending every effort to make it one of the most in- teresting that has ever been attempted here. The fortunate fact is that Mont gomery is sending the lambs up to lend assistance to the ambition of the local Rotary club

the recorders court in trying misde- meanor cases; as a detectives time is val uable, it should not be taken up in this manner. In appearing in the police court detective becomes too well known to the general public and strangers.
 Vice Squad
 s'The vice squad should look after houses of i'll repute. gambling. blind tigers and vagrants, making arrests in all msde- meanor or police court cases, and should be very vigilant in arresting these petit criminals that I have suggested that de- tectives be lenient with. The vice squad should arrest all classes of criminals, but should not be required to work up evi- dence inl felony cases as their time will be taken up in the police court and court of common pleas cases.
 Uniform Police
 'Uniformed police should be expected to maintain order on their beats, prevent crime and make arrests in either misde- meanor or felony cases where it comes to their notice, or where their attention is called to it.
 "The foregoing suggestions are my opin- ions, which I hope will meet with your approval Yours very respectfully,

First Copies Will Leave Headquarters Through
 the Mails Today
ROBSON IS QUOTED
 VERY EXTENSIVELY
Underwood Referred to as Man Who Observes the Law. Keeps His Oath, Earns
 His Wage"

The Underwood campaign committee will begin today the circulation of a pamphlet containing the more recent de- velopments In the senatorial campaign.
 On the fly leaf is a photograph of Oscar w. Underwood standing in front of the capitol. "He observes the law, keeps his oath earns his wage," is the line running under. Inside is a photo- graph of Woodrow Wilson, called the commander in chief of the democratic armies of the United States. Beneath is a photograph of Underwood, and he is referred to as the field marshall
 The book is bright and snappy and contains argument based on new fea- conclusive reason why R. F. Hobson should be retired from the service of the state and Oscar W. Underwood retained.
 Mir. Hobson's Oath
 Hobsons absenteeism is touched upon. II is stated that he has been absent from his post of duty for year with the ex- ception of 22 days.
 The copy of the following appears.
 'I Richmond Pearson Hobson, do sol emnly swear that l will support and de- fend the constitution of the United States; and that I will we'll and faith fully discharge the duties of the office on which l am about to enter So help me God"
 There also appears the following rule of the House of Representatives. Every member shall be present within the halls of the House during it's sittings unless excused or necessarily prevented. and shall vote on each question put, unless he has a direct personal or pecuniary in- terest in the event of such question:
 The book contains clippings from news papers printed in Eutaw and Carbon EIill. in which Hobson is quoted as having said in 1904 that Colonel Bankhead, at that time his opponent, should be retired on account of his neglect of duty, that he had been absent for the greater part of the session of the Fifty-first Congress.
 Hobson Praises Underwood
 On another page arc printed portions of attacks which Hobson has made on Underwood, his opponent. And there ap- pears also statements made by Hobsun concerning Underwood when Underwood was not his opponent.
 In Tuscaloosa, .he Look says Hobson told school children to emulate Under wood, and at Enterprise, early last fall, he expressed eradication, the book says. in that he had the privilege to serve with that srear statesman, Oscar w. Underwood.
 Hobson's latest il1uetration of the ef- feet of his proposed prohibition amend ment, in which he declared that "home- made destroyer was all right is touched upon. Excerpts from news papers review the kissing record of the captain following the sinking of the Merrimac. The Hohson campaign book Is described. Where Robson says in his book that he participated in that suf- frage parade in Washington in which were gathered men and women of all colors for the purpose of protecting Alabama's representatives the Under wood book figurativeiy smiles.
 The new addition to the campaign will begin it's tour of the state today.
