A WASHINGTON VIEW
 OF BRYAN ON CLAYTON

Age-Herald Bureau, 509 14th St., N. w., Washington. February 19.-(Special)- Now Colonel Clayton is a military man, a graduate of West Point, having been appointed from Alabamaa, of which State he Is a native. He served with cred it in the Spanish war with Troop c of Brooklyn in Porto Rico. As military man he naturally believes In a sizeable army. And he also believes in holding the Philippines and putting down the in- surrection there. While that Is "undemo- cratic" in MT. Bryans eyes, there are Democrats who do not agree with that view. As to Colonel Claytons vot- ing for the bill, with the view of secur- ing an army appointment, 1t Is to be said that in voting for the bill he really in- jured his prospects for appointment, for the bill as agreed to after being in con- ference makes him ineligible for the po- sition of captain and assistant quarter master of regulars, for which he Is spe
 clally fitted, by providing that appoint ments shall only be made from men who served in that department as volunteers. He had been slated for that position be- fore the bill passed, and unless 1t is amended, may get nothing, though he Is ambitious to be major and assistant
The age-herald., 1901-02-20

Neglect is to be abolished in part at least, and proper consideration given to the past.
 Thomas M. Owen, born and reared in Jefferson county, has been at work for years in laying the foundation of pride in Alabama history. He has given time and labor without money and without price to a noble enter prise. Governor Sanford character istically came to his support. The Legislature has acted upon Governor Samfords counsel, and department of history becomes a feature of the State government.
 The bill names the trustees of the department The officers are to be in the basement of the capitol. Assum- ing that MT. Owen, .Ae recognized pro- genitor of the idea, will be chosen by the trustees director of the depart ment no one need fear but that en- during and valuable material will be gathered for the use of the students and historians of the State.

Saloons and Saloons.

"One may oppose the point of location of a liquor saloon and yet have no pur- pose of opposing the existence of sa- looms in general, as everybody knows and as a great many people have experi- enced," said to total abstainer last night.
 Saloons are of no use to me as an in dividual but to most men they are useful for convenience and in the pursuit of pleasure, and therefore I am not pre- pared to say Down with the saloons!'-- q cry that has in many instances done grave harm to the cause of temperance. But when it comes to the place of loca- tion of a saloon there is another ques- tion, as there always is when it comes to the character of such a resort.
 'The entire moral force of Birmingham demands the closing of the obnoxious sa- loon near the Jefferson Theatre in Sec ond avenue That saloon is of a character extremely objectionable, and it Is Q con stant affront to every woman and girl and every right-thinking man of good morals who attend that theatre It Is an evil that cries aloud to the City Coun- cil for it's own abatement it's own de- structicn.
 'All the Aldermen of Birmingham are the heads of families or are closely re- lated to some of the best women and sweetest children in the world. There fore I do not believe that the appeal to them to close that objectionable saloon will be vain. Even the school children of the city are deeply interested. Their dear interest is a silent and tender appeal''

Not a Mardi Gras Town.

ITO the majority of Birmingham peo- pie, those in society with big and those who adorn the great society of mankind, these hours before the dawn Of Lent are passing as quietly as if to- rlorrow was to be any other day than Ash Wednesday, said a man who will not have a headache today. as he num- bled over a tobacco pipe last night.
 Still there are great many happy hearted folk who are having large joy in many different ways, and everybody not of their festivities will wish them full gladness in their enjoyment The truth is Birmingham is not a Mard! Gras town, and is never likely to be. It Is not possible to create in its fullness and light edness the spirit of the Latin race and the warmth of their native sun shine in an intensely practical and cold business community such as we have here in Jones Valley; and for one much prefer to read about the wild Mardi Gras festivities as they are in Now Orleans and Mobile than to live through them here in Birmingham. But everybody to his own liking, as the unbeautiful woman said when she saw the man kiss the cow"

HE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Rivers and Harhnrs Bill.

The lelegraphed report of the new bill submitted by the Committee on Commerce IS not full enough to justify an opinion as to it's treatment of Ala abama, or it's general merits or de- merits. The Senators have added here and subtracted there, and it will not be possible to judge of their work as a whole or in detail until more is known concerning it.
 It is plain that an effort is to be made to putlthe bill through Congress, although there are Republicans who have no love- for some portions of .t IA closer examination of the bill may show that thea Senate's cuts and addi- tions have relation to votes on the sub- sidy bill-and perhaps, too, to party no desire to discuss measure that is not fully before it. So far as appears ane Warrior has, not suffered at the hands of. the Committee on Commerce, although no report of the work to be done under continuing contracts has been made knowna by wire as yet. The presumption, however, is that Ala bama's Senators have looked after Alabama'S interests and that no harm is wrapped. uptin the new Senate bill for it is more new bill than an amended House bill The Senate seems determined to impose it's will in appropriation bills as well as in other measures. Instead of drifting to the popular House, in this country legislation seems to be coming more and more into the shands, of the upper House.

COMING EXTRA SESSION
 DOES NOT STOP THE RUSH
BY ALBERT HALsTEAD.

Senate conferees, on the other hand, arc adopts at conference work, and firmer than most mortals. Frequent victories have given them confidence in their abili- ty to bring the House to their way of thinking, no matter how reluctantly.
 In such a situation, with the extra ses- sion looming up. the House conferees may we'll say to each other that 1t will matter comparatively little if the bill should fail, for 1t can be passed during the extra session and the delay incident to it's defeat will not be great. The House conferees may think. too, and it is understood that they do that the delay may result in focusing public attention upon the Senate bill and increasing it's unpopularhy. It is a fact, that many protests against the Senate bill have been received by members of the House who are prominent in revenue legislation. The idea is that public opposition to the Senate bill will make the Senate less de- tcrmined in its demand for the passage of that measure Such being the case there Is less likelihood of an agreement on the war reduction bill than there WOu1Q De II lneft WSIS U " hO S2S& session.
 There Is one feature, however, that must not be overlooked in considerating the possibilities. The House Democrats are insistant upon some legislation to reduce the war taxes As theirs is not the responsibility they are not particu- lar how the reduction shall be accom- plished. This means that practically the solid Democratic vote can be depended upon to be cast, when the crisis is reach td, in favor of agreeing to the Senate bill. With the Republicans from large cities who are naturally interested in having the burden said to be borne by the brewers lessened and with the men who represent districts especially interested in the manufacture of tobacco enough Republicans may be found to, acting with the Democrats, cause the House to yield to the Senate Against this Is the ar- gument being made rather extensively throughout the country that in reducing the war taxes the revenue from those on beer should not be reduced in the aggre- gate about thirty millions while only ten millions is taken off other articles that ale taxed for war revenue.

FLORIDA ABOUT TO LOSE AN ARM

From the Atlanta News.
 That is an interesting situation growing out of the proposition to annex the State of Alabama the northwestern part of the State of Florida. Just now it is the leading topic of discussion in Talla- hassee, in Pensacola and among the members of the Alabama legislature In session at Montgomery.
 Alabamians are, naturally, greatly in favor of the acquisition of this valuable addition to the coast line of their state. Again the people of the strip of Florida to be annexed are heartily in favor of the move. They are ambitious-those Pensacola citizens especially. Pensacola is great port, but as a Florida port, with all of the capitalists and outsiders and most of the politicians in the state working constantly for the development of the East coast, they feel that their claims for government aid in the im- provement of their magnificent harbor have been ignored.
 Florida has but two representatives in Pensacoans think they will stand better chance for securing recognition as part of Alabama than they are now re- ceiving as their due as a segment of Florida, What the Florida legislature will do about the matter at its approach ing session remains to be seen, but 1t looks to man upa tree as if the peo- pie of the section in question should be allowed to pass upon the question them selves and that, if they are willing and Alabama is willing, the rest of the Flor ida peninsula which has treated this end of the state with such scant affection ought not to stand in the way of the r,aarriaOe

Age-Herald Bureau, 5O9 Fourteenth St., N. w, Washington. February 19-(Spe- cial. )-The fact that an extra session of Congress is practically certain does not on the face of affairs seem to have les- seasoned the determination of the lead CTS in each of the houses of Congress to complete the work of the session be- fore adjournment. There Is the usual rush to complete appropriation bills and to get other general legislation, as well as bills of distinctly private or local character, through Even if the extra session had been called there would be practically the same energetic action, because with the death of the present Congress every measure now before it that has not been approved by both houses and signed by the President must be begun anew in the next Congress. It must be reintroduced, referred to It's appropriate committee and passed by each house.
