SPIRIT OF EASTER AND ITS
 SPRINGTIME SYMBOLISM

1 NHERE are some things about religion l that even the broadest and best of \ men and women can indorse whether they are religionists or not, and
 one of these things is the spring-time
 symbolism which finds expression in the
 Easter of the Christian church and in
 similar celebration in all formulated and | formless creeds of the pagan east and
 the pagan west.
 | The red Indians of America, the brown and yellow men of the east; the Morse
 and the Druids of the north, and the
 black men of the Abyssinian south all l feel the spring time stir in the blood that moves mankind to throw the winter gar
 ment of repentance into the leaping, dancing fires of happy spring, and that is Easter
 don't know how you feel about it, but as for me, I love this feast of renewed upspringing life; I love the meaning re- igion gives it; I love the Passover idea it holds for those of the Jewish faith; l love to feel that we may welcome the bright angel of peace who comes at Easter-tide to roll away the stone from the grave where the hope and faith that redeem our lives to joy, wait for the brighter, happier, stronger, spendor of resurrected life that comes With this commemorating season.
 Equally as much do I like to remember that if we sprinkle the door posts of our lives and our hearts with the blood of the Lamb, the dark angel will pass us by with rustling far-away wings.
 And I like the idea of Easter flowers and Easter hats. I love the Easter music and the new Easter chiffons; I'm just human enough to like these material things sprinkled in with the others-for they all remind me that we have the miracle of new heaven and a new

ROBSON WOULD NOT
 HAVE EASY SAILING
 DECLARES T. l.. LONG

The democrats of Alabama are not yet "The democrats of Alabama are not yet ready to adopt the English system of pocket boroughs, said Tom l.. Long of Jasper yesterday, who was at the Morris. Maybe Captain Hobson, who formerly represented most of the coun- ties in the Sixth district and his friends, think he can come down here and be elected to Congress from the Tenth dis trict when Hale county, where he is alleged to keep his citizenship, is in an- other district. Captain Hobson has been in some pretty warm political contests in his life, but he has never seen any fight which will compare in the slightest way to that which will meet him if he tries to run for Congress from the Tenth dis trict. There will be an awful 'hOller about 'carpetbaggism and various other issues will be raised that will make the occasion extremely interesting for the captain. Really, he does not know what a political row is yet, but if he wants to find out let him run for Congress from the Tenth district.
 You know we are not going to let the republicans and the populists vote in the democratic primary in the Tenth district next time. It is evident that Captain Hobson does not know that, or he and his friends would not delude themselves into thinking he could win for Congress in our district. Hobson has strong democratic support, but he has never had enough to win without large republican and populist vote in the prl- maries We are not going to let any thing except democrats vote in our dis trict primaries in the future"

After some negotiations he was released on the promise that he would not return to his native land during the war, but would go to some neutral country. He went to The Hague, Hol- land where he was engaged in Zionist work. From there he was sent to the United States to do propaganda work . for the cause.

Among the thousands of readers Of The Age-Herald who read the first page on the dog in last Sundays paper was a Wall street banker, James Gard ner Rossman, a native of Georgia, but now living in the worlds largest city.
 We don't know whether MT. Gardner is much in love with the bulls and bears of Wall street, but we do know he is one of the dogs best friends, and spends both his time and money in trying to benefit this noble animal He is the presi- dent of the Dog Lovers Protective asso- citation, an organization incorporated last year in the state of New York, which has as it's purpose the uplft of the dog, looking after legislation in different states which gives the animal an equal chance with the rest of the world. help ing different cities solve the rabies ques- tion, and the muzzle proposition.
 Mr. Rossman writes The Age-Herald as follows:
 Have just read the dog page of your last Sundays paper. feel I must write you at once and compliment your paper and the author, MT. Moses, on the val uable informatio and attractive way it is written up. I feel sure 1t will be fav- orably received everywhere. It was very kind to say something about the Dog Lovers Protective association and it's ed- ucational work in the interest of the dog. From the showing made in the first ar tiele, if others are to be judged by 1t, the articles should be read and kept for future reference by dog lovers and fan ciers. I would like very much to see a branch of the association formed in every southern city, and if lovers of the dog will write the secretary at headquarters, 501 Fifth avenue, New York city, liter ature will be mailed out. It only costs s1 year as dues, no initiation, the money arising being used to have just laws en- enacted
 The following newspaper controversy between MT. Rossman and New York city authorities is as much interest to this city as the metropolis, as we have the same question rehashed every year in Birmingham:
 T have been asked by New York city authorities what policy could be recom- mended to the board of health as a sub stitute for the unnecessarily severe and drastic measures advocated by Dr. Gold water, who publicly announces his pur pose is to eventually make New York a dogless city.

NEW YORK BANKER THINKS
 HIGHLY OF THE DOG PAGE

"The following are some recommenda- tions which I believe are along sane and req asonable lines, and which would be sup ported by large majority of true dog lovers:
 '1 Modification of the present muzzling ordinance so that all dogs mast be either on leash or properly muzzled while on public highways and in public places.
 "2 An ordinance which will require all dogs to be licensed. The license tag to be large enough to be easily distinguishes by officers while on duty on the streets; the shape or color to be changed each year so as to be easily distinguished; owners to be urged to put their name and address on reverse side of license tag.
 g. Strict enforcement of the two above ordinances. aided by the active co-opera- tion of all dog lovers
 '5 An advisory committee of say five members to be known as dog owners and dog lovers advisory committed Cor some other suitable name), who shall ad-' wise with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and the city au- thorities in devising ways and means for economically and effectively ridding the streets of stray and unlicensed dogs and cats.
 This committee should be truly repre- sentative of dog owners and dog lovers and could be selected annually at a eau GUS of representatives from every recog- nized dog and kennel association and hu- mane association interested in improving canine conditions in New York city.
 Dog owners who pay for licenses are especially interested in proper publicity being given to the uses for which the license money is being used I am satis- fled such committee would serve a use- ful purpose and their reports of work be- ing done in stamping out the great evil of stray dogs on the streets by the A. s. P. C. A. and the city departments would go long way toward establishing public confidence and public support and dis courage indiscriminate criticism.
 ''5. Inaugurate a campaign of educa- tion which win be conducted along sane and reasonable lines, and which will cor rect by preventive measures to a large extent the conditions which are now crit icised.
 If the health department, dog owners and A. s. P. c. A. could arrive at some compromise understanding along the lines of the above five recommendations and fair trial with proper cooperation of all the interested parties given, am sat isfied rabies would be stamped out and canine conditions generally improved in New York city,
