From the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
 Should patriotic Americans need any warning from the government to keep off armed belligerent ships? They know the risk they run of involving this coun- try in war, and nothing but unadulterated selfishness would be at the bottom of their action.

Talks About Krclsler

Fritz Kreisler is the greatest Of them all," said Robert Dolejsi. "Ysaye has his fantastic genius, Kubelik his diabolic technic, Elman his wealth of temperament, Marteau and Carl Flesch their scholarly interpretations and Kocian his silk-like tone, but they all of them together are not Fritz Kreis- Ter. Alone and above them he towers a great monument of violinistic art
 During my four years stay in Vienna I had the good fortune of liv- ing across the street from Dr. Kreisler. Kreisler's father and was we'll ac- quainted with Hugo, the latter's broth er who is the first cellist in the Wiener Koncert Vereins orchestra. Strange to say Kreisler was averse to playing in his native city and the general public there really do not know him as well as we Americans do. His concerts though were always occasions of rare enjoyment and he created a furore when he played the Beethoven concerto with orchestra. At the end of the first move ment the applause continued for 15 minutes, during which time the master artist bowed again and again and hnal- ly stood mute, seemingly overwhelmed by this tremendous outburst of en- thus,asm. And it was a wonderful per- formance Kreisler was one of the few violinisss that Sevcik. the renowned pedagogue of the violin, went to hear

SIGN OF THE DOUBLE CROSS

Again.. the people of Alabama are al- most to a man with the Presidents poli- cies. Then, why should not a delegation of real Wilson men, in accord with the Wilson policies, he sent? It was entirely practical and sensible for the leaders of both factions to unite in selecting dele gation whose loyalty would not be open to suspicion. But the faction in control of the party machinery, as shown by the statement of MT. Forney Johnston. after conferring and caucusing for two months announced that it's ticket was out, and that it would make no agreement. The most amusing piece of hypocrisy yet pre- sented in Alabama politics is the bland air with which certain gentlemen, who only few months ago boasted of hand picking legislature, and who after cau- cusing and conferring for two months, assumed the high moral ground that their virtuous political conscience would not let them enter into an agreement.
 And while they were caucusing and comforting, with one hand they were arr ranging and framing their ticket with the other. But why was that vacancy left on their slate for delegate-at-large? Who is going to ride up at the eleventh hour and take his place in line? And why are the real Wilson men in Alabama, and why are the Wilson leaders in Wash ington afraid of the purposes and intent of the legislative faction in Alabama?
 It is pity that these gentlemen forced fight in Alabama. There was no ne-- cessity whatever for it. And. they are going to get lively fight, too.

The magazine style of the 1916 Re-

proval on the part of those who have
seen It.
The printing was, for the most part,
better than the press usually turns
out. but the big cylinder bucked at
times and the result was unsatisfae-
tory with his or that cut. And it so
happened that the subject of the bad

copy.
One prominent dentist. On opening
his copy in the postofice lobby, ex-
claimed to a friend-"Do you think I
am really that ugly?" "Well-nit
quite" was the response.
Another prominent dentist, DR.. A.
H. Morey, had the worst luck of any,
and it was not his fault, either. Not
having 2 photograph of himself handy,
and being too busy to visit Mr.. Baker
in time for the issue, The Hustler, un-
beknOwnst to the doctor, requisitioned
an old negative from Baker, which, it
so happened, showed q months stubby
growth of beard, having been taken of
DR.. Morey just after he had recovered
from severe illness and which he
had had taken solely to send to his
home folks back in Ohio. This was
used in theedition, greatly to the good
doctors embarrassment But the
presses were stopped and the cut taken
out as soon as the doctor set eyes

THE CANDIDACY OF M. L. sH1pMAN
! Endorsed for Reelection by Local and
District Organizations.

News & Observer, Nov. IA, 1850
The undersigned respectfully pre-
sent the name of M. L. Shipman as a
candidate to succeed himself as Com
missioner of Labor and Printing. He
IS serving his second term, and we
have heard only the highest praise of
the manner in which he has conducted
the affairs Of the Department. Where
ever duty called Mr.. .Shipman has shown
himself equal to the occasion, and his
actions have brought honor to the
State and credit to himself. That he
has doubly increased the usefulness of
the Department is generally admitted.
There appears little, If any, sentiment
to displace him, and we wish merely
to advise his friends that he will ap-
preciate their support for reelection.
Mr.. Shipman has not only made a
capable official during the six years
and half of his incumbency in the po-
sition. but he has also long been an
effective party worker, both as editor
and county and district chairman. We
