Root as Candidate

"I always vote the republican ticket and my choice for standard bearer next year is Flihu Root. but not being an ac- tive politician, I will have no voice in the matter" said s. V. Gathers of AL bany N. Y.
 ''In my estimation, MT. Root is the ablest man in the republican party. He is known as one of the greatest lawyers
 in the United States
 He had kept aloof from politics until
 he was persuaded against his inclination to accept the important position of Sec retary of War. He was one of the best war secretaries this country has had ir my day. From that office he was pro- noted to be Secretary of State and 6 splendid success he was there. He made fine record as United States senator and I would certainly like to see him round out his career as President of the United States.
 But the chances are that MT. Roo will not get the nomination. Some of the l leaders will shy because he is called 2 Ieactionary. The probability however, is 1 that President Wilson will be his owr successor, but the republican party will be almost sure to win in 1920"

Growth of Masonry

There will be quite an exodus of mem bers of the Masonic fraternity from Bir- mingham in the next few days said Dr. R. r. Lovelady, "on account of the meet ing of the grand lodge, which convenes in Montgomery this week.
 q dare say the interest in the Masonic order is greater at this time than in it's history in this county. and ali the bodies have had wonderful increase in mem- bership, despite the business depression of the early part of the year. I am informed that the interest has been marked throughout the state and that Grand Master Giant Miller's report will break the record for increase in mem- hership in any one year.
 When 1t is recalled that there is no solicitation, no reduced rates, and no cam raigns for memb ership, this increase speaks well for the reputation of the order"

 It promises to be both exciting and hu morous and will be well worth attendI ing.

 He says that the usual professional politician and glad-hand man will hay1 no chance in this convention-that the seI lection will be made upon the proved merit of some one man or woman as sI talented writer of an advertisement oI producing effect.

little babe, try to count your
blessings you have to be thank
full for, and think of the little
children as jewels in Heaven.
