 ''The navy is as absteminous from eth ical reasons he began, "as Old Stingee was from miserlness.
 ''Old Stingee was entertaining a boy hood friend one evening at his shore cot tage. After a couple of hours of dry talk the old fellow said genialy:

 "'Why. yes. I don't care if I do,' said George, and he passed his hand across his mouth and frightened up wonder fully.

"AuLn LANG SINE"

George Lang, professor of economies at the Alabama Presbyterian college, and John Lang, inspector of munitions for the British government, met face to face on Noble street in Anniston Monday evening, and an interesting scene of "Auld Lang Syne'' was witnessed by pedestrians as the two men clasped hands.

ENACTMENT OF LAW TO PURGE NATION OF INTERNAL PERIL IS
 PLEA OF PRESIDENT

greeted the Presidents declaration of the manifest duty of America to re- main "studiously neutral" toward the warning nations abroad. his assertion of friendship for Mexico, his urgent recommendations for an increased mer- chant marine, the suggestion of legis- lation for furthering the interests of the people of the Philippines and Porto Rico and his recommendations for in- creasing government revenues.
 But chief attention centered about the delineation of the plans for na- tional defense, the proclamation of an- Americanism and the virility of the Presidents attack upon Americans who he said had brought the good name of the government into contempt. He de- livered his denunciation in cryptic phrases and Congress seemed to hang on every word.

APPLAUSE SPORADIC

The Congress complimented the chief executive with close attention. But it's applause was sporadic. His plea for national defense was silently received, although 1t is regarded as probable that the momentous significance of the substance and not apathy is justly held responsible. The patriotic operations of the President were approved by the democratic side. His plea for a mer- chant marine met with no general out burst. But when he mathematical un- naturalized Americans, when he de- clared that certain natura1ized citizens had poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries of American life.' the Congress, uniting on this one sub ject. vociferously expressed it's satis- faction and approval.
