1t is seldom, if ever, that you hear of negro committing suicide" said Frank Markus, "and being interested las to why this war, i once asked an old negro who worked for me.
 He said whenever you see white man sitting in deep study, right then he is thinking about killing himself but whenever negro got still he usual Ily went tp sleep, and never had time to think of committing suicide.
 Since then I have noticed this, and If you watch them, you will see that a negro goes to sleep if he gets still, and there is no one around"

The city is opposed to the raise Of 7-cent car fare by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company on the ground that the company knowing Fly allowed it's equipment to run down so that it could pay dividends in other years, and now expects the people to pay for repairs and new equipment, said Commissioner John R. Hornady.
 If the money needed had been apent during the several years when the cars, Hines and other equipment was being allowed to run down the company would have no need of additional rev. Ienue. The 6-cent fare gives them rev lenue enough for normal running < K |pcnses of the system"

GERMAN PEOPLE STILL THE SAME

(u H
 pr. Richard Grelhng (author of JAe-
 cuser') in the January Yale Review
 To understand rightly the character
 of man or of a state, one must Iirst
 understand it's origin. The EermAh
 republic did not grow out or the Ieol-
 ing that conditions under the Honen
 zollerns were intolerable; nor out or
 the lack of civil freedom. which, Tn
 srite of an apparently democratic fran
 chise. stamped the German people as
 pariah among the nations of western
 EuropeS Nor was it the result Of the
 traditional arrogance of a ruling caste
 made up of junkers and army officers,
 who had time out of mind, divided
 among themselves all the CIVIL ana
 military offices leading to preferment
 and who knew how to turn to the ad-
 vantage of their own pockets the tax
 laws and the tariff. The birth of the
 republic was not due to the encroach-
 ments of an army which regarded it.
 self as a state within state. and which
 lived according to it's own penal laws
 and it's own code of honor; nor, again. was it due to the gigantic crime of hal -demented sovereign, who, carried away by dreams of world power. and spurred by ambition and earth hum ger. brought about world catastrophe "a catastrophe which he could have averted with a wave of his hand or a single~ word It was not the slave chains which the German people had worn in times of peace, nor the moral stigma or the material suffering which the war had brought upon them, that caused the revolution and the creation
 of the republic. No. it was defeat and defeat alone that broke the power of the criminal makers-the terrible. crushing defeat which in three shors months. from July to October, 1918. transformed a ruler drunk with vic tory into deserter fleeing from his own country; and transformed his generals. carried away by success as they had been. into cowed and beaten suppu- cants for a cessation of hostilities.

No Change of Heart
 In German People

TYR. RICHARD GRELLING, au- lO thor of "J'Accuse." one of the notable war books, has contributed an article to the January Yale Review, which should be, read by everyone who thinks the German people have "seen a great light" and have under gone a spiritual change which makes them different from the nation which set out to conquer the world in 1914.
 Dr. Grelling says the German re. public was not the result of any dis satisfaction the German people felt with their imperial government, con- ducted by the Kaiser and his war lords, but was due to the defeat of their armies. It was a movement started, not within, but without the German empire. Had his armies been victorious the Kaiser would have been exalted to newer heights of 4gotistic glory and his people would have kissed his feet with an adoration greater than they had ever shown be- fore. Dr. Grelling says, further:
 What has not the German people
 patiently borne in the last 80 years
 from it's Kaiser, that fool by the
 grace of God? And what would
 il not have borne with the same
 patience, yes, with even more than
 the usual submissiveness and devo-

the money I paid for them away, for if they did me any good l don't know it. When l saw Tanlac so highly recommended, so many people telling how it had helped them, 1 wonder ed if it was because Tanlac was so much better than other medicines that it did them so much good. So I decided to try Tanlac only because others said it helped them and not that I had confidence in it. l did not doubt the people whose state ments 1 read, but I was discouraged and just didn't believe Tanlac would do me any good. I am telling this because I want everybody to know Tanlac has relieved me of the worst form of nervous indigestion even though I did not believe it would do me any good. I just began taking it because I was suffering so and it was something else to try But the first bottle helped me more than all the other medicines I had taken put to- gether. Then 1 bought five more bot ties, have already taken three, and am going to take the balance, not because I feel the need of it, but to be on the safe side 1 would not give my testimonial until had taken three bottles because l did not want to make hasty statement that might mislead other people, for l know what it means to be taking medicine hop ing to get well and then find you are disappointed. But now l know what Tanlac has done for me and gla dly make this statement sincerely hoping that others who have not been able to find anything to relieve their suffering will be influenced by it to try the medicine that has done SC much for me. All my friends, and everybody who knows me, know how I suffered with nervous indigestion and everyone I can tell shall know about Tanlac. Now after I get thru my work at the market I come home
 cook and eat hearty supper and thoroughly enjoy it. I do not have any more indigestion or gas pains and sleep just fine all night long. A wonderful difference now and before I took Tanlac, isn't it? It's rceal pleasure to tell about Tanlac."

'4c l MT Gompers, speaking in rebuttal said he would like to answer the Gov ernor if he had time. Several voices l in the audience shouted "You can't you can't" Mr. Gompers said he would prove it if he lived long enough He did not return to the governors question, however, until some minutes later when he said:
 "The governor says that he wants to take that from me, from Gompers, the divine right of ordering strikes. It reminds me very much of a man who has been told story utterly ri- diculous, but to his bland mind it seemed simply to be the truth and he ran away and believed it. It may be interesting news to the governor to know that in all my life I have never ordered a strike of two men: more or less,-never, never-and challenge him or anyone else who will give his name to assert the con- trary."
 Somebody in the audience shouted: |"Who ordered the striker"

Mrs. c. Bozell, 612 East Clay street, Richmond, Va, bookkeeper at a well known fruit and vegetable market, adds her voice to the hundreds who already endorsed the Master Medi- cine. Tanlac:
 "By the help of Tanlac," said Mrs. Bozell, T have overcome a case of nervous indigestion that had pulled me down to almost a complete phys ical wreck I am now we'll woman and life is a pleasure. I am glad to recommend Tanlac because it is worth recommending and I am telling the people of a medicine they can de- pend upon for results.
 "For f long time. and on up to the time I began taking Tanlac, there was scarcely an hour day or night but what I suffered intense pains from indigestion. I had no appetite and no matter whether 1 ate or not those awful pains came in my stomach just the same. I would bloat very bad ly and at times my entire body seem- ed full of pain. l was so nervous I shook like leaf and it was almost useless for me to lie down at night for sleep was next to impossible for me. Even the telephone ringing and other noises have always been used to hear almost drove me distracted. Many time during the day I simply had to get up from my desk and walk around because I was so ner- vous I just could not sit there any longer. 1 felt so tired and worn out in the mornings I could hardly get to my work.
