MANAGERS DENOUNCED

When he had gone from various parts
of the hall came loudly voiced denuncia-
lions of the railroad managers for their
delay. Speakers insisted that the rail-
road heads had adopted subterfuges for
many months in order to hold off a set
tlement of disputes. Their tactics in in
ducing the brotherhoods to postpone final
action on the proposed strike last June
were similar, it was insisted, to those
they are following now in dealing with
President Wilson. Some favored leaving
the question of calling a strike in the
hands of the four brotherhood heads and
departing for home
The brotherhood officials pleaded that
the President should not be embarrassed
at this time and urged that the delay
probably would not be extended. Finally
the meeting adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow without acting upon any OF
the various proposals.
Besides being convinced that the rail-
road heads are sparring for time, the
brotherhood men are becoming restless
largely on account of the monotony OF
their wait here. They go to their meet
ing each morning for perhaps half an
hour and then return to their hotels to
spend the rest of the day. They never
can tell when they will be called to-
gether, hence most of their time is spen,

protective tariff.
This question of industrial prepared
ness" said Senator Penrose, has re-
ceived definite recognition in the pend
ing bill in the provision relative to
dyestuffs. This concession made by
those who abhor imposts and duties and
tend to the thought that nearly all the
expenses of the government so far as
possible should be raised by taxes OF
incomes and other direct taxes, seems
to me to constitute a surrender which
gives up their whole case. If dyestuffs
require protective duty. and If they
are essential to our industrial indepen-

ment can be applied all along the line.

Senator Penrose declared, it should be
applied to all who sell contraband
goods to nations at war;

HENDERSON FAVORS
MONTGOMERY FOR
TRAINING SCHOOL
Board of Trustees Is NOti-
fled That Location There
Meets With Governors
Approval

Montgomery, August Ex-Governor Hen
derson has written to the board of trus-
tees of the Alabama Girls Training school
stating that if they wish to purchase the
Montgomery county site offered for the
location of the training school, it will
have his approval He has not been ia
vorably impressed with the several sites
offered in Jefferson county chiefly be-
cause they are too expensive, and lie
indicates that the purchase of any one
of these sites would not have his APP
prevail. 1t now looks like the school will
be located in Montgomery county.
The site is to be selected and the new
buildings erected under an act passed
by the recent legislature appropriating
$4,000, subject to release by the chief ex-
ecutive. The present quarters in Jeffer-
son county were found inadequate.
According to the governor Mrs. O.. L.
Amigh superintendent of the institution,
inspected the Montgomery county site
few days ago and she was very favor
ably impressed with it and thinks it is the
most desirable location that has been Of
fered. The site is at Cantelou's about IS
miles from Montgomery on the Selma
road and contains 120 acres. 1t is part
of the Cantelou property in that section
and the governor said that, according to
the proposition that has been made, 1t
will be practically given to the state. His
letters to the members of the board were
mailed about a week ago and he is ex-
pecting replies daily.

Ever Hopeful Candidate
est. Louis Globe-DemocraD

Don't adopt David's has.y general
ization about human invcracity when
the candidate tells you of his chances.
TIE candidate is not conscious pre-
varicator, at least on that subject. He
thinks he is sure to win. The patho-
logical psychologist will do well to
study the candidate. The candidate
may have gone reluctantly into the
race, under pressure or friend; He
may have been very timorous as 70 his
vote-getting ability. He may have
overestimated the power of the forces
against him. But after he entered
the race, he is troubled with no more
misgivings. He is certain of sweep
ing victory. Every man he meets is
his friend, or at least an enemy of his
rival. He gets assurances of town.
ship after township and county after
county. He soon begins pitying his
poor simpleton of an opponent for not
knowing enough to withdraw and
save himself personal humiliation.
This sincerity does not always eX-
tend to the campaign manager. He
has taken no dream-producing drug.
He often knows the real situation, in
all it's forbidding features. But he
does not try to convince his candidate.
Not only would it be futile but his
own loyalty would come under sus-
picion. Strong are the ties of friend
ship that can withstand a blunt an
nouncement to candidate that he
las no strength. The supporter who
announces his own allegiance with
gloomy predictions is set down as an
enemy in disguise. Jim Lane of Kan
sas once went thirty miles to thrash
a pretended friend who had declared
that "old Jim was beat" Lane eX-
planned: II want him out fighting me
openly. This licking will explain his
opposition The only real way to be
for candidate is to predict victory
for him.
That the candidate is really delud-
ed and is not talking for effect is
made manifest when the returns come
in. His hope does not desert him
until his defeat is certain, beyond all
preadventure. He is seldom able to.
explain it. There are two reasons for
his optimism. He is so biased that
he sees what he wants to see, and hui
man nature shrinks from the dis
agreeable. 1t is not intentional de-
ception but fundamental good nature

years ago such thing as placing "A
bull at public service was unknown.
In fact. no one seemed to think that
the service of a bull. good or bad, was
worth anything over dollar or as an
accommodation. But now it is differ
ent. There are bulls whose owners
charge as high as $500 for service
fee.
And why should this not be the case?
A farmer readily pays $50 or more for
stallion service, which results in an
animal worth PROBABLY hundred dol
lars when it is year old. A well sired
yearling calf is worth from 500 TO
$1,000. But still we have placed
