NEWS OF ENSLEY

After hearing the protests of delega- ton of Ensley citizens in reference to the points of transfer. the city commits sioners passed an ordinance requiring the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power company to transfer all passengers on the lines running into Ensley at Ave nue E and Nineteenth street. A few hours later J. H. P. DeWindt, general manager of the street car company, ap- peared before the commissioners and stated that through misunderstanding he had failed to meet the Ensley dele gation and requested the commissioners to withhold formal action until next Tuesday which was granted. Those ap- bearing before the commission were M. H. Mcdowell, Dr. E. W. Averyt, James A. Dupuy, l. A. Millar, Henry Keller and Louis Smith This committee will again take up the matter with the board on next Tuesday.
 Under the present transfer system the patrons of the street car lines of the Ensley district are compelled to transfer at Tuxedo Junction, which is in the heart of a negro settlement at Thirty-fourth street and Avenue c, which is without police protection. The company claims that the abuse of the transfer system in Ensley compelled it to make the change.

THEIR CRED!T G0NE'
Democrats Are Victims Q
"SpelIbInder' Promises.


Now that the president has taken
the stump. and inaugurated his cam
paign for . second term after the
stump fashion putting things breezily
and extravagantly-it IL well to note
some of the evils Of that position.
They are numerous. and do much
harm.
After national platforms have boen
adopted. parties send spellbinders
through the country to interpret them
and pledge their employers. The quail
flcations for such agents and repre-
sentatives are not information, care
full statement and conscientious re-
gard for the public welfare. but glib
ness. hearty responsiveness and q de-
sire to secure votes. Often spell
binders amount of information Is In
inverse ratio to the number Of his adj
jectives. Sometimes rich vocabulary
covers a multitude Of intellectual de-
ficiencies.
AS a result, all sorts Of misleading
statements are put out, consciously or
unconsciously. Parties are pledged be-
yond the power OF redemption; and
the successful party soon finds itself
in trouble. and charged with breaking
faith.
The Democracy's present difficulties
grow out OF reckless and irresponsible
stumping. It's spellbinders who talked
tariff in 1912 either did not know their
subject, or did not care what they
said. Men who charged the high cost
of living to the policy Of protection
were either ignorant or insincere.
Likewise az to economy. The charge
that three hundred millions a year
were being wasted, and could be saved
In the governments expense account,
never had leg to stand on: and the
men who made II either had not In
vestigated the matter. or were willing
to use the charge "as good enough
Morgan until after the election"
For illustration as to the effect of
such proceeding on a party employ
ing 1t, let US take the case Of busi-
ness mana manufacturer. say. on q
large scale-who should send drum
mers" out In every direction. misrep-
resenting not only conditions Of trade,
but his ability to all orders. How long
would he thrive? Who would give
him second order after being de-
ceived about the first? When It was
discovered that he could not Ill his
orders at all, or that his goods did not
come up to sample, what would his
credit be worth? That is the position
Of the Democratic party.
