And It would be an interference in purely secular affairs that would be certain to arouse an ugly spirit of resentment. Political fight ing for the next year or two will be very bitter at best-possfbly the bitterest expe- rienced in the state since before the civil war; and certainly it would be the desire of the great mass of voters that the preacher keep to the established lines of his sacred occupation"

''We saw not a little of the preacher as lobbyist at Montgomery last winter, and fear we shall see a great deal of him as politician during the next twelve or fifteen months" said an Alabamlan of distinction. 'It will be unfortunate for himself and for the community at large If he should deter mine to take an active part in politics, no matter what the lnducement or provocation might be; for the American public is so ac- customed to seeing the preacher hold him.

NATIONAL MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
Special Dispatch to The Can.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Nov. 16-Ths Sos
sions OF the National Municipal League
continued to-day. The discussion is still
on the new programme prepared by the
special committee
Hon. Bird b. Coler Controller OF Greater
New York. discussed 'sThe City's Power
to Incur Indebtedness Under the Pro-
posed Municipal Programme"
MT. Coler. after referring to the early
financial difficulties OF Greater New YORK
referred TO the restriction OF Indebtedness
OF cities, and said:
"A city issues bonds only for perma-
nent improvement. the benefits OF which
inure 10 posterity. But there are two
classes OF these improvements. easily dis
tinguishable from one another. and be-
tween which sharp distinction should
De Drawn. In one Of these classes are i'm
Provements which, while adding TO the
beauty and healthfulness OF a Citv brfnc.
In no direct financial returns This is IN
Iar the more numerous class and includes
such ORDINARY works as the erection OF
public buildings, the acquisition OF parks
and the repaving OF streets.
Inc expense incurred Is unquestiOna-
bly, financial burden upon the taxpayer.
In regard 10 such expenditures there can
be no doubt as 10 the wisdom OF estab-
fishing an arbitrary constitutional limit:
since otherwise the burdens that might
be thrown upon succeeding generations
by excessive issues o. bonds would be-
come intolerable
Inere ls another class OF improve
ments, however, far less commonly met
with, which either results In casting no
burden whatever on the taxpayers or else
brings In actual profit 20 the municipal
ity. A dim recognition OF this truth
seems already 10 have found expression
in State constitutions, which specifically
except from the operation OF this Mmi-
tation bonds Issued 20 provide for the sup
ply OF water and require only that spe-
cial sinking fund be established FOR their
ultimate redemption"
Mr.. Coler held that the bond issues IN
such cases were not real burden since
water rents pay the Interest and reduce
the principal. Under no conditions did
he favor buying franchises 20 further mu-
niclpal ownership, advocating the idea OF
waiting until they ran out and then tax
he did not believe they would stand the
test Of the Supreme Court OF the United
States.
Following Mr. Coler's address there was
general discussion OF the subject. In

Raisin Inspector Sims
Dying in Fresno.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, Nov. 1e-W. Sims, an inspec-
tor in the. employ OF the California RaisIn
Growers Association and a We'll Known
resident Of this city. was taken. 70 the
County Hospital to-day suffering from
what his physicians declare is a fracture
Of the skull. He IS sinking rapidly, and
little hope is entertained for his recovery.
Sims was in Los Angeles In company.
with Thomas Eagan of this city last Sat-
urday evening. While walking along q
street they met a man who appeared TO
be insane. He asked Sims a number Of
foolish questions. which the latter failed
TO answer. The crazy man then became
eXasperated, and picking UP a cobble-
stone hurled IL at Sims. "IH not leave
you to tell any tales either" said he
turning 10 Eagan. The latter, however
took to his heels and escaped the lunatic.
AS soon as possible help was summoned
and Sims was taken to q drug store near
by. In about an hour he regained con-
sciousuess and the wound over his ear
was dressed. Blood flowed from his ears,
mouth and nose On the next train he
was brought TO Fresno by Eagan and felt
much better after reaching home.
on the day following his arrival he
called on DIR. Davidson. who examined the
wound and pronounced IL serious. He at
tended 10 IL and told Sims TO call on him
again the next day. The raisin inspector,
however went about his business and
disregsrded the advice OF the physician
about calling next day. Yesterday morn
ing his eyelids and checks began to swell
and he complained OF dizziness. Several
doctors expressed the opinion that the
base OF his skull had been fractured and
that the chances for his recovery were
very remote. 49,.
