OLD FRIENDS

OLD FHlENDS By David Banks Sickels.
 There are no friends like old friends, And none so good and true; We greet them when we meet them. As roses greet the dew: No other friends are dearer,
 Though born of kindred wold; And while we prize the new oneA We treasure more the old. There are no friends like old friends. Where'er we dwell or roam. Tn lands beyond the ocean.
 Or near the bounds of home; And when they smile to gladden., Or some times frown to guide. We fondly wish those old friends Were always by our side. There are no friends like. old friends, To help us with the load Which all must bear who journey Ger life's uneven road; And when unconquered sorrows
 The weary hours invest The kindly words of old friends Are always found the best Tlerea are no friends like old friendA To calm our frequent fears. When shadows fall and deepen
 Thr0u gh life's declining years: And when our faltering footsteps Approach the great Divide. We'll long to meet the old friends Who wait the other sid

THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN Time was king sat on his throne And held resistless sway; He said in autocratic tone
 His subjects year and nay They lived in terror of his might, But had no other choice Save to obey, both day and night, Their august masters voice. Of late this world has changed a lot, No tyrant spurns the mob; The proletariat. I wot,
 Is now upon the job. And kings who still retain their
 crowns
 Are wond'rous mild and meek; They do not deal in fearsome froWns. Nor speedy vengeance seek. Mere puppets they. who feebly strut Upon a mimic stage; They wieid a ieweied scepter but They fear the peoples rage. And many more are down and out, Like common Jacks and Jills, Who have to scheme and cast about For cash to pay their bills.

-irtage was good to a majority of the
 delegates who were discovering for them
 selves the merits of American brands.
 Anheuser- Busch in St Louis was in quan-
 titles like the foam on the sea, and in
 fact every kind of wet goods was to
 be had without any trouble, for in those days man could rest his foot on tho
 rail while he acclaimed on who was to
 be the nominee. But in San Francisco
 the weather bureau has up the dry sign.
 Unless you are a student of politics or
 interested in history. you may not know
 that the first national convention to nom-
 nate candidates for President and Vice
 President met in 1881. The example was
 set. curiously enough, not by either of
 the regular political parties. but by the
 faction which came into existence solely
 to oppose the secret order of Masonry. It
 will be recalled that the anti-Masonic
 party grew out of the excitement pro-
 duced by the mysterious disappearance
 of William Morgan, who was supposed 10
 have divulged it's secrets.
 It is worth while 10 notlce tndt IL "oS this movement of the anti-Masonic party which gave an opening to the public ca reers of two men who afterwards rose. one to the presidency. the other to the Senate and the Secretary of State. These were William H. Seward and Willard Fill more. In September. 1881, national con- Ever. tion of the anti-Masonic party as- sembled at Baltimore. rendered the nomi- nation to the famous Maryland lawyer. William Wirt, formerly Attorney General. who accepted it, and Amos Ellmaker Twas added to the ticket as candidate for
 Slce president.
 l But this is not to be story of the anti Masonic party. but to show that the caucus system was now evidently extinct: and no party would have dared l attempt it's revival The system of na- tional conventions, exempliied by the anti-Masons was seen to be the only l fea sible substitute. The Jacksonian party had the title of '.Democrats.' while their o,,ponents styled themselves National ! Republicans," and the latter party was
 tic first to call a national convention. V hich met in Baltimore in December, 1881.

 The retirement of William G. McAdoo from the race for the presidential nomination upsets some of the plans of the Ala bama delegates Many of these men were for him and intended to vote for him.
 It is very manifest that President Wilson is not as jovial and enthusias- tic about his son-in-law as he was some three or four years ago. The President has evidently done something to offend his son. Jaw; or else Me Adoo has learned that he will not have the Presidents support in the San Francisco convention.
 All the world knows that friction developed between MT. Wilson and Mir. McAdoo after the formers second marriage. The President did not in- vite his Secretary of the Treasury to be a member of the Paris peace com mission, and it is known that family friction occurred about the time of the retirement of the Secretary of the Treasury.
 It is true that whsn MT. McAdoo retired from the cabinet he did so thinking that ne nad~ served ms pur- pose in the administration and be- lieving that it was his duty to his family to make himself financially in- dependent. Since his retirement his income has probably been ten times what it was as a cabinet official. He 
 accumulated sufficient money for the ordinary man to be independent. But not sufficient to become a candidate for President under presentday politi- cal systems.
 McAdoo is wise and is not inclined to enter a losing contest.

Presidential Candidates.

D.. Ryan of Norfolk, but formerly Of Cin- cinBati. He is now passenger traffic rIanager of the Seaboard and spent yesterday in Birmingham.
 Senator Harding is not states man of initiative ability. as evidenced by the fact that while filling his seat in the Upper House of Congress ne has proposed no original legislation Cox on the other hand, is exceptionally keen. He is serving his third term as governor-not three consecutive terms as Mark Sullivan said. After serving one term he was defeated but when he came back it was for two terms. Cox was never so popular in ohio as he is today If the democrats at San Francisco are looking for the strong est man to put up against HardlhS' Governor Cox is that man.

Not So High

Rent for houses in Birmingham Is not abnormally high" says l. C. Beat ty. "On the other hand, they are lower than almost any other city of the same size in the country.
 Taxes have increased 100 per cent. Prices of lumber, labor and all ma terial that go to make house have been high, making the replacement value of the houses higher and higher. Everything that house owner has to. buy has increased from 70 to Soo per cent. while rents have not gone over 40 per cent
 People who are kicking about high rents are going on matter Of prln- ciple only and are not acquainted with the facts. Of course, in isolated cases, there is real rent profiteering, but in most cases it is the person who takes house and rents out rooms and apart ments and not on the part of the owner"

MORE EXCITING
THF CONVENTION SYSTEM---By Frank Willis Barnett

Clay was nominated on the first ballot.
 
 It was left for the legislature of New Hampshire to issue the first call at this time for democratic national conven- tion, the first of that long series of pow erful and exciting conclaves which have so often designated our presidential rul- CTS since It was at this convention that the two-third rule which more than once afterwards did it's deadly work with the aspirations of statesmen aspiring to occupy the White House.
 I thought on the eve of the democratic national convention at San Francisco this bit of history about the rise of the con- vention system in American politics might be of interest. The caucus system gave way to it, but the scandals of the presi- dential primaries have brought to the public a fear that it holds a danger in that it seems possible to buy the highest office in the gift of the citizens of the limited States.

lNED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE DEMOCRA ATTIC NCONVENTION AND PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES

And now, who can be nominated at San Francisco with any prospects of
 political success? There is Palmer. a
 very able man, but who everyone knows cannot carry his own state of
 Pennsylvania. There is Bryan. who
 can't carry anything except probably
 Nebraska, but who is greatly feared
 by democratic politicians.
 Davis of West Virginia is probably
 one of the ablest men mentioned. but
 is not known. He is the present ann
 bassador to Great Britain.
 Perhaps the strongest ticket men
 toned as a whole among the candi-
 dates would be Cox of Ohio for Presi-
 dent and Lewis Nixon of New York
 for vice. president. This would make
 ticket which would size up admirably
 certainly carry Ohio and Nixon could, wi thout a doubt, carry New York. Another ticket favorably mentioned is Nixon of New York for President and Senator Owen of Oklahoma for vice president. The strength of this ticket would be in the fact that everyone knows that Nixon could carry New York. but there is some
 doubt of the strength of Owen in the western states outside of Oklahoma. With an eastern man for President.
 Meredith of Iowa, the present Secre- tary of Argriculture, has been mem ! toned very favorably for vice presi dent. Meredith owns a number of farm newspapers throughout the west. He ! is a man of much ability and extreme popularity throughout the west and | would in all probability carry Iowa and Nebraska and some of the sur rounding states

 Then came the chain stores and the help-yourself variety, with the vari- ous names, and the whole system was revolutionized. I never dreamed to live to see the day when our Birmingham citizens of standing would load their automobiles up or fill their arms with bundles and board street cars, but now 1t is an everyday affair"

world war. He was also a designer and constructor of submarines. He is a business man. a wealthy man, man of great force and character and deter imitation and is at present serving at
 the earnest request of Governor Smith of New York as public service com- missioner of that state. He is backed
 by both the state administration of New York and Tammany Hall of New
 York city. He is a delegate to the
 San Francisco convention from the
 same district represented by Murphy
 the boss of Tammany Hall
 be solidly for him and the New York
 business interests as well as the labor
 element of that state are for him be-
 cause they declare that he has been
 eminently just and fair in his admin
 styation of the public service affairs
 of the state and of the city of New |
 York.
 But the great mass of delegates go- ing to the San Francisco convention don't know for whom they shall vote and have no idea who will be nomi- hated. It promises to be a repetition of the republican convention in
 Chicago.
 Bainbridge Colby goes out as dele- gate from washington-or the District of Columbia. As Secretary of State he is supposed to be the mouthpiece of
 President Wilson and 1t is very eyi-
 dent that he has something up his sleeve, so to speak. He is neither for Cox of Ohio nor for Nixon of New York, and he is certainly determined
 not to permit Bryan to dominate. The President. through Colby, will evidently want to control the conven- tion. He is dead set upon doing it. | but has not shown his hand as yet l as to his personal choice. It is very l evident, however, that he Is not for any United States senator. It may be that he is for John W. Davis of West Virginia, the present ambassador to Great Britain.
