JUSTICE.
“You can Build Your Capitols to
Reach the Skies, but Unless They
are .Built on Justice the Pulse of
a Woman can Beat Them Down.”
Sometimes a man is the victim of
injustice, and. sometimes a principle
of right is the victim and when the
man is the champion of justice and
that man is maltreated then are the
rights of citizenship trampled in the
dust and justice is defiled. 7he
great American people Lave ever
been ready to remedy wrongs
which if persisted in would sap the
rights of the citizen. Whoever that
citizen might be, cither day labored
or capitalist, he is entitled to the
same show.ng as is given any man
who stands against him. whether it
be in the courts of the country, on
the hustings or before the party com
mittees. The most flagrant viola
tion of this right of the citizen was
during the last congressional rave in
this district when T. J. Hall of Mont
gomery was a candidate against Col.
A. A. Wiley who then encumbered
the Congressional chair from this dis
trict. Then was perpetrated on the
said T. J. Hall a species of injus
tice contrary to the ideas of even any
misconstruction of right and fairness.
It will be remembered that when the
time came to qualify, Hall was de
tained at his home bv a sick child
and next -day when he offered the
necessary money it was refused on
the plea that he was one day late
and consequently barred.
Now mark the gress injustice of
the act: Hall w r as not allowed to
put up his money ‘and qualify for the
race on the plea by the chairman
of the Congressional Committee that
he was one day late yet it is claimed
and with apparently splendid grounds
for the claim that Col. Wiley never
put up his money into the hands of the
committee but paid it out by his own
personal checks in time to meet the
different payments when they fell
due. Why not haver allowed Mr. Hall
to pay in his assessment when he
was one day late and for an excuse
that should appeal to any man?
Was this justice? Was this in
accord with the spirit in which the
primary law was framed? Was it in
accord with those principles of jus
tice and fair dealing so dear to the
heart of every American citizen?
Was it in accord with the democratic
party law which promises to every
man in the party an equal footing
w r ith any man? Was it in accord
with those grand and eternal princi
ples of justice which teach us that
injustice to one of the people is in
justice to all of them?
Hon. T. J. Hall in the race against
Col. A. A. Wiley made a most phe
nomenal run, the people writing his
name on the ballot to such an extent
that it is believed that had his name
been printed on the ticket he would
have defeated Wiley. Here in Butler
we had no election as Col. Wiley
failed to remit enough money to pay
election expenses. Such proceedings
are entirely opposed to democratic
usage and any sense of justice and
puts Hall in the light of an Alabama
citizen who has been grossly discrim
inated against. In cases such as this
there is only one recourse for the
people and that is for Hull at the
next Congressional election to again
oome before the people with every
minute requirement of the commit
tee fulfilled and try a fair, square
race with Col. Wiley, with no handi
caps. That Hall will be a candidate
is an assured fact and that he is the
logical candidate under existing con
ditions admits of no doubt. Mr. Hall
has made a splendid record in the
past and in a fair, square congres
sional race with Col. Wiley with the
memory of the people still fresh on
recent events there is no doubt what
soever that Mr. Wiley will receive
full justice in 'the stinging rebuke of
a merited defeat.—Greenville Living
Truth.
THE AIM OF LIFE.
W e live in deeds, not years: in
thoughts, not breaths;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart
throbs. He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest,
acts the best.
And he whose heart beats quickest,
lives the longest.
Lives in one hour more than in years
do some
Whose fat blood sleeps as it slips
along their veins.
Life is but a means unto an end; that
end,
Beginning, mean, and end of all
things—God.
The dead have all the glory of the
world.
—Philip James Bailey (Festus.)
