A TEST OF DISCRETION.
Are you competent chauffeur
yes SIR
"If you saw a small disreputable look
ing car purring along in front of you and
there was barely room for you to pass,
would you try to speed by that car con-
temptuously, or would you wait until the
street got wider?"
II would spare my own feelings and
look out for the safety of my passengers
by turning off into another street, sir"
THAT will do. You are engaged"
HUMAN NATURE.
A man who dreamed of riches vast
And toiled great wealth to gain,
Day after day, year after year,
In WEAKNESS and pain,
At last acquired a golden pile
A million was the store;
Then started in with all his might
To get a million more.

-HE people of the state have cried
out to the legislature that the time
l. has come for the "burying of the
hatchet.e The legislature. it may be
stated with authority, is not only willing
but anxious that the petty warfare
against Governor Henderson be brought
to an end. But the legislature, as a mat
ter of fact, unless during the SUMMER it
acquires Individuality. will move in July as
it moved in January, that is by the direc-
ton of body of non-members who be-
lieve that they have received a call to
save and redeem. Any effort towards
peace which is not leveled against the
'omnipotent lobby is energy misdireeted.
Certain leaders of the legislature have
displayed willingness to fall in line with
Governor Henderson and form a union
for the upbuilding of the commonwealth,
Speaker Carmichael, for instance, wrote
last week a statement for The Age-Her-
aid in which he declared that he was ami
triotically. In the house, Mr.. Merritt and
Mr.. Davis and other strong men have
acted independently-have, as a matter of
fact openly broken with the lobby Lieu

who are willing to forget differences en-
gendered by prohibition. AS to whether
or rot, however these leaders can induce
the rank and file to withdraw allegiance
from the lobby, remains of course to be
SEEN
The history of the session Of the legis-
ature from January to March is prac-
tically a history OF the action of the
lobby When the members reached Mont
gomery several days in advance of the
date for organizing. it was apparent that
statutory prohibition was doomed. The
strongest men of the senate were prohi-
bitlonlsts, but pronlpltlonlstS VINO, TOT the
sake of prohibition, were determined to
submit that question to the people. But
the lobby, fearing the result of a submits
sion to the people. prepared for warfare
against the prohibitionists of the senate
who stood primarily for submission, and
the lobby-let 1t be said to its credit
achieved the victory. And later it hap
pened that men voted for statutory prohi-

Meeting OF Medical Association

''The meeting of the Alabama State
Medical association, which begins Tuesday
promises to be one of the most interest
ing ever held" said DR.. w. P. McAdory,
who is actively interested in the enter
tainment features
1T is probable that the meetings will
be full of ginger with spirited arguments
on the very pressing question of a wider
policy of direction and control of the
states health affairs. 1t has come to be
recognized by the more advanced and
progressive members of the association.
that there must be a loosening up of the
restrictive policy heretofore prevailing.
But in such action there need be no hard
feelings hypercritcism; on the other
hand the great body of the profession in
the state, I believe, recognize the de-
mand for a broader policy of control of
the associations affairs; more opportunity
for ambitious members to seek honors
and preferment.

purpose to keep down all extreme parti-
sanship, as far as our ability as hosts

a banquet and barbecue. You know a

one, and doctors are after all quite hui

Boss Murphy of Tammanv Hall also
came in for criticism. The statement
follows:
In New York state We see at its
worst the development of the system
of bipartisan boss rule.
In New York state the two political
machines are completely dominated.
the one by Mr.. Barnes. the other by
! Air Murphy.
The state government is rotten
throughout in almost all its depart
mcnts. and this is directly due to the
dominance in politics of Mr.. Murphy
and his sub bosses, acting through
SUCH entirely sUbservient agents as
Mr. Dix and Mr.. GIynn. and aided and
abetted when necessary by Mr.. Barnes
and the subj bosses of NIr. Barnes
Mr. Murphy and Mr.. Barnes are OK
sctly of the same political type The
interests of Mr. Murphy and Nr.
Barnes are fundamentally identical.
and when the issue between popular
rights and corrupt and machine ruled
government is clearly drawn. the two
bosses VIII always be found lighting
on the same side. openly or Coyertly
giving one another such support as
can with safety be rendered.
These bosses do not hold public Of
flee themselves. They act through the
holders OF public Office whom they
control
Yet they really form the all-power-
full. invisible government which is re-
sponsible for the maladministration
and corruption in the public Offices OF
the state.
BY means of elected officers. whose
negatively good personal character Of
fers little surface ground for attack,
and whose fundamental weakness or
insi1cerity and doubie-dealing render
them dt Instruments through whom
the masters Of the machine can work.
these machine masters secure the ap-
pointment TO office of the evil men
whose activities so deeply faint and
discredit one whole government sys-
tenn.
II is idle for man 10 pretend that
he is against machine politics unless
he VIII. with STRAIGHTFORWARD good
faith. openly and 10y game, attack Mr..
Barnes and Mr.. Murphy and pledge
himself TO do all he can to eliminate
them from the control of political al
fairs. and. in destroying them. TO de-
stroy the system which renders pos
sible such pernicioUs activities as
theirs.
