FINGERS ON PIE COUNTER


 .The Catholics have got their fingers or the public pie counter, and they have got a big piece of pie in Jefferson coun- ty, too.
 ''As to immortality among Catholics, the confessional is an example. the very pol lution of which prevents it's becoming public, for if anyone has experienced it, they are SO ashamed that they will never speak of it.
 The trouble with Alabama today is weak kneed, srineless Protestanism. The remedy is true -blooded Americanism Demand that the political parties shall break away from the domination of these people,
 Some of the best friends I have got in the world are Catholic people, and they are good folks, too. But the insti- tuition of Romansm is rotten.
 Roman Catholicism has declared, We will make America Catholic The reason why they don't do that in America is because they are not permitted to do it. They have not the supreme authority here yet, although they may get it if we don't fight against it.
 'I assume full responsibility for every thing I have said here tonight, and I have not said half of what should be said l am ready to desend my remarks at the drop of hat anywhere.'

Violent fighting continues at Douau- mont, near Verdun, the war office an- nounced today A heavy German attack gainst the French front along the line of the Haudremont wood to Douaumont fort was repulsed, the statement says The announcement follows.
 s'In Belgium to the south4of Lombaert- zyde trenches of the enemy were demol- ished by our artillery

 Now, as to Birmingham and the Cath olics Well, I'll tell you, they are on the job here. They are in control of the press of Birmingham, you take my word for it. I don't mean that there are not a lot of good men associated with these people here, but I mean that the Roman institution is controlling the press of Birmingham.
 q have one instance that I want to recite to you, and this is our very dear friend, The Age-Herald. I published a little item in The Bulletin that the Catho- lies were trying to destroy the civil Sun day and Catholic pries, seemed to en- joy it. He wrote good article, in which he stated he was greatly amused about it. l wrote a very innocent little article and sent it to The Age-Herald to be published in response to the priests ar ticle, which was printed in that paper
  am waiting yet. However. I got a let ter from The Age-Herald and it said they were always glad to print letters to the editor when written without personal malice.
 '"The Age-Herald did not print that let ter because they could not afford to have any Protestant man hit back at Father Coyle. It is a bad situation when Ro- man Catholic can attack a Protestant minister with all the venom at his con- mand because he can hide behind The Age-Herald, and I submit to you that any newspaper that permits man to hide behind it's news columns and it's edi- torial columns is not worthy of place in your home.
 They say that Father Coyle is smart that the Baptist preachers are afraid to answer him. You know what's the mat ter. The poor Baptist preachers might write a bale of letters and they would all be burned in the basement of The Age Herald. That's what's the matter

go away to school. She was sent to a distant city to be taught all man. ner of things embraced in that word finished"
 To her romantic soul came many experiences, many temptations to surrender to what she thought was love, but always she measured the depths of her emotions by Aunt Betty's loyalty of score of years.
 "Would I love him like that?' she would ask of herself, and al- ways the suitor failed in the test.
 One afternoon she went to a mati- nee at downtown theater. As she was leaving the playhouse she was confronted by a stalwart man whose agitation was greater than her own.
 Betty Randall!" he all but shout ed in his excitement.
 "Auntie!" gasped Betty.
 "Are you Betty Randall" ?" queried the stranger. "Of course not. You're just a child, and Betty would have been more than twice your age if she were alive," and he apologized for his rudeness as he turned to go.
 It flashed over Betty in an in- stant. Could it be true? She de- cided to risk it.
 "Tom!" she called softly.
 The man wheeled at the word and stood staring at the girl.
 "Are you Tom Wilson?' she ask ed. "And did you leave over twen- ty years ago to go out west, and"- she continued.
 "Yes, yes! Why-how-who are you?" he demanded.
 'Betty Randall is my aunt," said Betty, "and she has your sprig of rosemary.
 "Here's mine!w he cried, and he plunged into his pocket and brought forth worn wallet.
 That night Mir. Wilson had long talk with Betty at the school. She arranged to go home the next morn ing, and Tom was to follow the day after. He explained how he had been sick for a year from exposure while lost in the mountains, how he wrote to the old address, but got nc reply.
 He had gone back to the New Hampshire town, but no one could give him Betty's address. So, witl fortune beyond his boyhood dreams he had ramb1ed up and down tho world, hoping, hunting and misera ble.
 "Aunt Betty,'' said little Betty two days later, Suppose Tom i' alive. Suppose he didn't die, bu' couldn't find out where you were Wouldn't that be fne?" And he7 eyes danced with what the eide took to be girlish enthusiasm for romance go near to her. There was knock at the door and a maid entered with a card tray
 "There's gentleman downstair to see you, Miss Randall. H wouldn't give me his card, but sai' you'd understand by this" And sh held out the tray so that there wa disclosed thereon a sprig of rose mary.
 'Betty, it's true! He's alive It's Tom!'' And the speed witl l which she descended played havo with orthodox ideas of dignity. Sh fell rather than ran into the sittin! room, there to be clasped in tw' arms, while a mans voice came soft ly to her:

Boys and Business.

"We are a business race, we Americans,'' says a writer in the Woman's Home Companion. "Nine tenths of our boys are destined for
 business, and the other tenth, who enter professions, need knowledge of how business is transacted even more. Parents who covet a clean cut, successful business career for their boy can do him tremendous service by laying the foundation of that career while they have him still in their own hands. It was Cardinal Newman who said, Give me child
 until he is seven years old, and I care not who has him afterward.' And psychologists are proving to us more conclusively every day that the years we once considered vast ed, from an educational viewpoint, are the years in which most of our habits, including business habits, have their root"
 Four kinds of Liars. The late Sir Frederick Bramwell was famous both as witness and arbitrator in engineering disputes. It is recalled that his brother, the late Lord Justice Bramwell, on giv- ing advice to a young barrister told him to be careful of four kinds of witnesses-frst, of the liar; second, of the liar who could only be ade- quately described by the aid of a powerful adjective; third, of the ex- pert witness, and, finally, of "my brother Fred"
