NAME GETS ON TICKET

Bay Minette, April 29.-(Special.) IA fire alarm for the county jail Sunday afternoon was sounded when large volumes of smoke were seen issuing from one of the windows One of the inmates who had been placed behind the bars shortly after dinner had set fire to his mattress and was endeay- oring to make his escape. The prisoner who caused the trouble is one Sam Wilkins, whose home is Daphne It was developed that Wilkins had been in an insane asylum before and was al- lowed his freedom because of his ap- parent harmlessness. An interesting feature of the entire affair is that he had announced himself as a candidate for the office of tax asses/or of this county and had complied with all the rules necessary to get his name on the ticket and while he will. perhaps, be sent back to the asylum. his name will appear on the voting tickets on May g.

No Break With Germany

The speech of President Wilson to the
joint session of Congress of Wednes-
day last was surprise to the country
and to Congress, but it was not a sur
prising act of itself, so far as it relates
to what might be expected of him at
any time. He has always done the I'M
expected From the time when he got
the New Jersey nomination for Gov
ernor to the day when he was inaugur-
ated President of the United States, he
has been doing surprising things.
From all accounts, there has never
been single occupant of the White
House who has been as busy as Presi-
dent Wilson-not busy seeing people and
talking things out with Tom, Dick or
Harry-but busy with the = affairs of
State honestly administrated. No Presi-
dent ever went at the business of max
ing good any quicker or harder than Mr.
Wilson. He has always taken the nitia-
tive He has made his own programs
and generally has carried them out him
self. He. leaves about as few things for
the other fellow to do as he can He
wants to know that everything is done
just so.
That is why the German situation was
presented to Congress in his own fash
ion. 1t emphasized the situation far
sooner and better than the note to
Germany itself could possibly have done
The telegraph told at once what a shock
the Presidents calling the joint session
was, but it was just like him to do it.
Mr. Roosevelt says it was putting him
self in the power of the town meeting
"a very foolish suggestion from a man
of his intelligence Whatever comes OF
the Presidents act, he believes in his
attitude as the just one, the fair one
to the American people He spoke to
the peoples representatives so they could
know the truth.

Vanity the Hdndmaiden of
Bad Taste

1t is well that every man should have
good opinion of himself. This atti-
tude of the moral man can come from
two sources, pride or vanity. To the
man of pride, the man of modesty first
comes with pride; the personal good
opinion is one and the same with the
individual code of proper decorum. No
modest man is going to have the vanity
side of his opinion of himself lower the
standard of his manhood.
The modest man will not depreciate
himself any more than he will boost
himself. He thinks correctly who
knows human fralty and admits his
own weakness. The world has little
patience with the strutter the man
whose vanity stimulates his so-cal1ed

,StadtS-Zeitnng, very pro-German, says
the COMMUNICATIONS will stand by the
President and this country.
SO far as the address itself is con-
cerned, it would be difficult to imagine
SO grave an issue handled with less
bravado or more sincerity. 1t may not
be necessary to call it masterpiece, for
MIR. Wilson was not in rhetorical pose.
There are just two discordant notes
in regard to the message and the German
note. One is from Congressman Mann,
who sees politics in it all, fool
hardy thing to say in so grave and
serious a crisis. A man must be sunk
very low in patriotism, indeed, to take
the stand of Representative Mann
The other rash speech comes from
Theodore Roosevelt, and is by far the
most deplorable attitude that distin-
gulshed gentleman has ever assumed, &C
customed as he is to abuse all others
who happen to be Presidents of the
United States while he is not. 1t would
not be surprising if the country did not
let Mr.. Roosevelt have message of
his own at Chicago
We can only hope that Our wise and
Christian President will find a way to
hold our brush with Germany away
from an actual conflict with the sword.

contract. The same crushed stone
for individual orders brings $1.35.
No sand could be gotten at all last
week. It's price was stated to be So

roads and the consequent difficulty
of hauling, was stated as the chief
reason for the high cost.

VIM Battle For Humanitu F.?

The anti-Wilson partisan press is much
exercised over the continual reference
of the President to measures that this
country should stand for in behalf of
humanity"
Of course this is broad way to put
the issue. Mr. Wilson does not mean,
as the Sun contemptuously intimates,
that he is President of Humanity. What
he really means is that although the
troubles in Mexico and Europe are really
no concern of ours, of themselves, at
the same time they very vitality affect us.
American interests are worldwide, just
as German interests in America are very
large and mportant-much larger than
American interests in Germany. While
this has nothing to do with our re-
lations with Mexico or the Central
Powers, the upturned state of things in
both these directions directly concerns
us because we stand to-day for so much
more than any other world power stands
trail nation, the most important of any,

man in behalf of human 1a1l is

neutral powers. dl0Attitude is inSk yid-
ualized and we are made the Leading
nation of defense against all infractions
of international law because of this fact
We are the logical arbiter for all OF
tae neutral world, and our position makes
us act automatically for all the others
The complexities of international re-
lationships make it difficult to explain tc
the common mind just why America is
SO deeply interested in stopping Ger
manys submarine warfare. 1t is all ii
the book, however, and the weaker
powers have not asserted themselves and
exchanged notes with England and Ger
many for obvious reasons.
But while all these things are true
it does not follow that because President
Wilson might lay down an autimatum
to Germany or England that we should
have to go to war to establish the prin.
ciples for which we stand. We might
sever relations with Germany tomorrow
but it would not of necessity mean war
Perhaps such situation might ulti
mately lead that way, but it does no
by any means follow as necessity.
All of the traditions of the country
says Mr.. Wilson, have led America into
the forefront of champions of humanity
Mr. Roosevelt, whose present policy is Sc
antagonistic to Wilson, should remembe
that when he won the Nobel Peace Prid,
for his settlement of the Japanese Rus
sian war, he was acting in behalf o
humanity, There was no other possible
motive behind his action then, Just a
there is no other motive behind Mr.
Wilson's now. He is acting for hu

Our Neutral Rights

Some very foolish American genue-
men are diligently engaged circulating a
propaganda in favor of exciting SYM
pathy for the Allied powers in the Euro
pean war They want to prove that
Germany had no right to invade Bel
GUM. and a whole lot of other things
unbecoming a nation alleged to be neu-
trail at this time Such measures are not
in keeping with the neutral sentiment
of our country, and should be hooted
down.
While it may be true that American
sympathy is against Germany on the lace
of the testimony available now, what
ever may be felt in this regard were
better kept under cover. In her eX-
tremities Germany has been forced to do
much that, while it may not be ex-
cused under any preteXt (the Lusltania
instance, for example), there will come
a time when she will receive the worlds
verdict, and on which the moral side
of the entire issue must depend. AS
matters now stand, and judging by what
we may now know, Germany is losing
the worlds moral support. What she
may in future do, is quite another ques=
ton. The world has held many views
on international issues that have been
changed by posterity. We form all of
our opinions by the angle at which we
view things.
England has violated many. interna-
tional laws, also, and has been called to
account many times on it, We get as
far with her as with Germany. 1t would
appear that if we are to be really neutral,
we will simply have to stand to the one
course of protesting in humanitys behalf
