1T HAS NO PLACE IN
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Editor Milton Smith of the ITALIA
hassce Democrat, is distinctly a re-
ligious man and a strong church
member, also mighty fine Demo-
crat, but he doesn't let his religion
dictate his politics nor his politics

in the primary next June and vote
as a Democrat for the Democrats of
his choice, not as a churchman seek
ing tc aid or injure any religious
denominational interest. 1t is i'm
possible to see how any Democrat
not of the bogus variety, can object
to that simple, old fashioned Demo-
cratic program. Here is what Edi-
tor Smith says about it in his paper:

Many strong Southern papers are
speaking out very earnestly in be-
half of Former President Taft as the
successor of Judge Lamar on the SUI
preme court bench. About fifty Dem
ocratic lawyers from various parts OF
the country are applicants for the
place. and probably they are all well
qualified, but 1t would be good judg-
ment as well as good politics for
President Wilson to appoint Mr.. Taft
to the position He is eminently fit
and il would be a graceful return
for Mr.. Taft's own fine considera-
tion for the South when he made an
ex-Confederate soldier chief justice
of the supreme court and Judge La
mar Of Georgia an associate justice
1t would be a non-sectional, non
partisan appointment that would
make friends for the president where
his enemies are now most numerous

ME Hays, colored, was tried in city
court Monday morning and after con-
siderable questioning Judge Warner
gave the defendant five days in which
to move from his present location.
The judge ordered the police TO ar
rest jackson if he did not move and
suspended a fine of S25 and costs,
pending the defendants decision.
According TO Jackson. the Hays
woman came to his house for a room
and became intoxicated. He declared
that when the police arrived on the
scene they told the woman to prefer
a charge of assault and battery
against him. This she did while
she escaped a jail sentence last week
due to the leniency of the court and
left the city. Jackson told the judge
that he met the woman at Clarence
Elliott's saloon in Polk st

Hays woman and intimated that the
charge against him was more in the
form Of persecution by the police
He admitted that he had had TO
move frequently because of disorders
in his boarding houses.
