Defender Of Cameron Dam Is Free
Man After Ten Years

John F. Deitz, defender of Cameron
Dam, won his ten-year fight for free.
dom when Governor Blaine granted
him pardon last Friday. We believe
the governors action viii meet with
the approval of NEST people. That
Dietz's conception of right and jus
tice was so affected by his long fight
with the powerful lumber interests as
to render him for the time mentally
unbalanced is now generally accepted
Dietz is not a natural criminal, and his
ten years of imprisonment have doubt
less had SOLDERING effect upon him SO
that he can no longer be regarded as
a menace to society His pardon also
fortunately, comes long after popular
,clamor for his release has subsidized
To have released him FIVE years ago
would have been mistake.

Extreme Cold Weather Does Much
Damage to Strawberries and Grapes

The almost unprecedented cold snap
of Saturday and Sunday has probably
done much damage to strawberries,
early grapes, and possibly other fruits.
Ice formed Saturday night, and some
snow fell Sunday morning.
Accompanying the freeze Saturday
night was a magnificent display of
northern lights, in some respects equal
to the marvellous exhibition of FIVE or
six years ago. The eolors and forma-
lions were most beautiful. The phe-

SUCCESSOR TO SANDERS
Duty Will Devolve Upon State Demo
 cratic Executive Committee

The death of w. T. Sanders of Ath- ems. national democratic executive committeeman from Alabama. has. al- ready given thought to the selection of his successor in that office.
 w. D. Nesbitt chairman of the state democratic executive committee, when asked about this phase of the party's affairs, said:
 "The method of choosing the ad in- terim successor of Mir. Sanders is with in the province of the state democratic executive committee, the partys state machinery. Presumably this right car ries with it the right of direct nam ing or appointment to fill the ad in- terim term. This point will be inves- tigated.
 .Mr. Sanders was elected in the last democratic primary held to name dele gates to the national convention and his term of office would have extended until the next primary. Whatever ap- pointment the state committee would make would be for the ad interim iterm."
 James Weatherly, who served out the unexpired term of the late John w.. Tomlinson after his death. was named directly by the state democratic execu- tive committee. Mir. Weatherly said: "The custom Is for the state commit tee to fill unexpired terms of national committeeman from their state by di- rect appointment by said committee. The national committee has always left this matter, to the state machin- cry"

MISS G0ING'S RECITAL
 AT THE TUTWILER
 PLEASES AUDIENCE

Miss Evelyn Going, Birmingham so- prano, demonstrated that she has voice of remarkable range and express sion, at once sweet and powerful, when she appeared in recital last night at the Tutwiler ballroom under the patron age of Mrs. Clara Harper Steele. More than 200 persons heard Miss Going.
 Singing 'Vissi D'Arte, Vissi D'Amore,' '' from Puccini's opera, "Tosca," Miss Going gave evidence of her ability and power of voice. Her enunciation and ex- pression were very good in this number. Forced to render two encore numbers, she chose clever little songs, which she handled in very good style.
 Her opening numoer. "IIear Ye, Israeli from Mendelssohn's Elijah" was well sung. Her easy style of singing was demonstrated in this song.
 She shared honors with Miss Minnie McNeill, at the piano, in Butterflies (Seiler), dainty bit, which gave oppor- tunity for effective piano work, which Miss McNeill was not slow to seize. Other numbers on the programme were Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal" (Quil- ter), Ashes of Roses (Woodman) Little Brothers Lullaby CBroeck) "Ah, Love, But Day. (Besch), ''The Divan of Hafz" CHarling), "Adoration' (Scarmolin), Dawn (Curran). .'The Crying of Water (Campbell-Tipton) and Song of the Open'' Ga Forge).
