Fight Over Patronage Question

to the 29th ol* December. It is not
likely, however, that much will he
done until after the frst of the year.
The Senate has been considering the
immigration bill. Senators Williams
and Thomas have offered amendments
to the literacy test and these will require
considerable debate. There
seems to be a t* r.dency to delay action
on this bill and it is possible that it
will bo sidetrack. (1 when the appro-i
priation bills arc reported. Although
the safety at sea treaty was ratified,
with some reservations, by the Senate
a reconsideration is being urged. Senator
Stone, Chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee, is of the opinion
that the resolution reserving the right
to impose upon American vessels
standands than the treaty prescribes
nullities its provisions.,
A fight over the patronage question
involving many latent possibilities,
seems to be developing between tlie
President and the Senate. Certain
appointees, whose names the President
submitted for confirmation without
endorsement of the Senators of
their respective States, have been rejected
on the "Senatorial courtesy"
plea. The President has evidenced
no intention of withdrawing the names
and if they fail of confirmation it
is probable he will re-appoint them as
recess appoint pes. Me assumes the
position that no part of the Democratic
organization should be used to build
up the patronage system and maintains
that the men submitcd are, according
to his judgment, best qualified
to hoi i the positions. The House
will also see a hard tight for leader-j
ship at the next session. It is gen or-i

Senator moiriton, of Louisiana,
member of the Ccmmitte on Naval
Affairs, l.a - dcclar d in favor of increasing
the navy, building up I ho
army to 200,000, and strengthening
the national defenses. Coming as it
does from one of the ranking member
of that committee it is taken as a j
strong indication of the growing sen-'
timent in Congress for more and complete
and adequate means of defense.
In spite of these expressions and the
recommendations of Secretary Garrison,
the House Committee on Military
Affairs failed to make any provisions
for increased expenditures along that
line. This action in reporting the bill
is in accordance with the avowed intention
to economize, but it is evident
that an attempt will be made on the
floor of the House to increase the appropriations.
The plan of Senator Ncwlands, of
Nevada, creating a Federal commission
to regulate and control waterway
improvements is being considered
by the President and some of the mem
bers of his Cabinet. Some investigations
have been made along this line
and an endeavor is now being made
to determine the feasibility of such a
plan. President Wilson approves the
plan in principal but has not as yet
actively advocated its adoption. Senator
Vardaman of Mississippi, is continuing
his efforts to annul the fifteenth
amendment of the Constitution,
thus disenfranchising the negro.
He is active in his elforts to secure
action and has also introduced a bill
looking to the segregation of the two
races in the street cars of Washington.
This v/eek brought reports, as
yet unconfirmed, of a little trouble in
the Philippines. Recent arrivals say
a plot was discovered among the native
troops on Corregidor Island to
free the prisoners detained there. According
to their reports two
two troops of scouts have been disarmed.
There seems to he a growing <^c

DRIVING THE HOYS TO THE CITIES.
I
Dothan, Alabama, is tone of the,
hustling and thriving cities of the
New South. It has about t>,000 inhabitants
and is growing . It supports
two daily papers and otherwise seems
to be shaking off the lethargy which
is popularly supposed to have kept
back most southern towns. But Dothan
like many other towns has its
millstone in the shape of puritanical;
reformers?sour souled creatures who
cannot bear to see others enjoying I
themselves. For a month past it has
been the custom for the boys and
young men of the town to gather every
; fternoon on what might be called
.
the village green and amuse them-1
selves with impromptu boxing matchIt

the business men st. pr.d for a fc\:
minutes to watch the young fellows:

fur. was being had on the Main street
and absolutely in the open. Tlvuv*
were no prizes nor gambling?just I
good, clean, healthful, manly sport,
it harmed nobody and benefitted
many. But just as it was becoming-!
an institution, enter the reformer,
"lioxing? Horrible! Stop it at
once!" The sheriff was notified. The
law stepped in and the young men
wore forbidden to continue their sport
The sheriff says he acted upon com-j
plaint. Dollars to buttons the com-1
plaintant is the Town Kicker, probably
a man who ha? done more to hold
Dothan back than any other ten men
in the community. The boys will
doubtless continue to hold their boxing
matches, but will sneak away,
like some lawbreakers, to some seclud
ed barn or back room where they will
continue until driven from those places.
And they will resent the interference,
they will blame the poor sheriff,
then will become sore on the town
I and after a few more such experiences
will shake the (lust of Dothan from
their feet and will strike out for the
larger cities, where they think there
will not be so much interference with
their personal liberties. It is too bad.
There is no harm in boxing when it is
j carried on as the Dothan boys conducted
the sport. The Y. M. C. A.
all over the country encourage boxing.
It is an art that has made men
of weaklings, that has put vim and
ginger into boys who might have become
mollycoddles and it has saved
thousands from personal injury if not
death at the hands of thugs. If Dothan
has a man or number of men
who want to counteract the bad influences
of the puritnical reformer or reformers
who prohibited the boxing,
let them get together and furnish a
. i " *
juiue wncre 1110 ooys may moot, under
proper direction and supervision,
and hold their boxing matches and
their other clean, manly sports. That's
the way to keep the young fellows

MOST BlffitMF FEAT
WAS CAPTURE Of LODZ
Said to be Turning Point in the
War in Poland
GERMANS ARE IRRESTIBLE
Russians Only Saved Tl: cut selves
From Complete Route
by Breaking* Pitchfork.
The capture of Lodz, according to
a declaration made by Gen. Von. Hindenberg
German commander, to a corr<
pendent of the Associate Press,
was me miming point ol the campaign
in Poland. Russian linos in Northern
Poland rested on that city for the possession
of which there occurred the
most hitter struggle of the entire war
on this front. After the Russians, following
a most obstinate resistance on
their part were forced to evacuate the
town, a general Russian retirement in
the direction of Warsaw become ncces
snry.
The Associated Press correspondent
visited some of the battlefields in the
vicinity of Lodz and gained an idea of
the nature of tho operations which led
to the city's capture.
According to the general alignment
of the Austro-German forces, they
might have been expected to advance
from the West. However, the attacks
was made largely from the North and
northward. They drove their columns
into the Russians in the form of a
huge pitchfork, with another largo
force between the lines.
It looked for a time as if the Russ'nns
would be forced to retreat?if
retreat fere possible in the face of the
gigantic enveloping movements in the
direction of their Warsaw base.
The intention was to drive the Russians
into the arms of large AustroGerman
forces, massed to out of their
retreat, but the timely arrival of Russian
reserves from Warsaw resulted
in the breaking of the eastormost line
of the fork, relieving the situation for
the Russians.
In one of the operations around
Lodz occured the celebrated "cutting
off" of two German army corps, which
after being entirely surrounded, cut
their way out and brought with them
12,000 of their would-be captors. The
scene of that exploit, which a member
of the general stall' characterized
as ono of the most brilliant of the war
was Strykow, ten miles northeast of
I.odz.
About the same distance west of
Lodz is the little church of Ueschici.
where the Russians in one of the final
phases of the struggle of Lodz, showd
timt in spite of the ir defeats and
discouragements they knew how toi
fight and die. This churchyard lies on
a small eminence which forms a salient
into the German lines.

FIRE ( HIEF'S WARNING,
Chief Henry Bunker, of the Cincinnati,
O., fire department, one of the
greatest fire fighters in the country,
has sent out the following warning
in regard to Christmas trees.
"Christmas trees are listed among
the most dangerous things in the
world. Every year thousands of fires
ere started l?v* 1 hn pnnilloo <*? > fhn
Many of those fires result in the death
or terrible injury t? some one.
Among those who are most likely to
be burned are little children.
"Here are some 'Dont's' in regard
to a Christmas tree:
"Don't spread cotton around to represent
snow. It is almost as deadly
as gunpowder when touched by fire.
"Don't put too much flimsy decoration
on the tree if candles arc to be
lighted.
"Don't hang the gifts on a tree.
Many fires have been started by Santa's
costume catching fire from a
candle when he reached for a gift.
"Don't trim Santa costume with
cotton.
"Don't make Santa's whiskers out
out of cotton.
"Don't place candles where the
flame will come directly underneathe
decorations or a part of the trees.
"Don't let the children go near the
lighted tree.
"Don't fail to have a reliable fire
extinguisher handy.
"Don't open a door so that tree will
be struck by a sudden gust of air.
"Don't be afraid to call the fire department.
Some of the worst fires in
the world have been started because
people who discovered them thought
they could handle them and neglected
to call the firemen."
