Those features of the saloon system
which we are told minister to fundamen-

exaggerated in the presentation that 10

ment. There are very few homes, even IN
the worst sections Of American cities, that
are not cleaner and more comfortable than
the average poor mans saloon.
But even where the saloon may furnish
certain comforts and advantages, those
things are only incidental to the saloon
business. The saloon exists for the purpose
OF selling drink. and is resorted TO prima-

the New York Telegraph, which 10 in no
way to be regarded as Temperance paper,
made an illuminating remark as follows:
~ never had any use for whisky except
to get drunk with it. It was o wise man
who said this. He had made . speciality
of drinking for some years, and eventually,
seeing the futility of his pursuit, had
ceased, and was subsequently, giving his
opinion upon the value whisky a. an aid
to civilization. He might have continued
with the coznate assertion that the only
use for saloon Is place in which TO get
drunk. Whisky is made because
men wish to get drunk, and saloons are
maintained as convenient depots for tho
distribution and dissemination Of whisky.

WELLMAN PLEASES
 THE REPUBLICANS
Regarded as Good Successor to
 Chairman Vaughan
WHAT MON TGOMERYTHINKS
The Rank and File of the Republican Party Want Strong Ticket Put Out This Week-Birminu-
 ham Man.

The selection of w. I. Wellman of Huntsville, as the chairman of the re- publican state executive committee by a conference of leading republicans of Huntsville Wednesday, the practically harmonious conditions now prevailing among the republicans and the decision to put out an entire ticket this fall for state offices, was the subject of dis cussion among leading republicans yes terday. All are pleased with the condi- tions now existing and are optimistic of the future.
 Joseph H. Montgomery, when asked yesterday his opinion of the selection of MT. Wellman, replied:
 q have heard of the agreement of the several factions to unite in the se- lection of MT. Wellman for chairman Of the republican party to succeed Will liam Vaughan, who refuses to stand for reelection. My opinion is that 1t Is a very happy agreement MT. Wellman has the reputation of beng a very high class and fair man, and the republican party throughout Alat anna is to be congrat- ulated on his selection. This places the party in splendid working order, and it is the duty of cll our people who be- lieve in the principles cf this grand old party to endorse him In his admlnstra- ton, and believe this will be done This completes the arrangement by which we will give tke democrats shower bath in the November election. The rank and file of the republican party want strong state ticket put out, and l believe MT. Wellrnan is the man to consumate such a wish. will give Mr. Wellman my earn est and entire support In all his labors.'
 Much speculation is indulged in as to whom the republicans will nominate for governor at their coming convention. The name of c. P. Lane of Huntsville, Is now being mentioned prominently In this connection. It Is the opinion of many however that a Birmingham man will be named for the race, as tn. republi- cans hope to make large showing in the industrial district.

Plans for the Two Plants Have Been Agreed On and the Work Will Commence On Arrival
 of the Steel.

Officials of the Birmingham Water Works company had nothing to say yes- terday regarding the attitude the board of trade has assumed in opposing meters in the residences as being more expensive than a fixed rate.
 A. M. Lynn. representing the company said the entire subject would be brought up at the joint meeting of the water works people and the committee from the board of aldermen which was appointed to investigate and report on the matter.
 MT. Lynn stated that work would be commenced at once on the new Altering plant which the company proposes put ting in at a cost of about S200 GOO. He said he was in conference with the en- glneers of the company yesterday and that they had about decided on all the details, and that as soon as the first shipments of steel arrived the work would commence.
 The Altering Is to be done by mechan- ical process. Forty large tanks, fifteen feet in diameter and twelve feet high, will be built in which to filter the water. Gravel and sand will be placed in the bottom of these and the water will run from them into a large clear water res ervoir which Is to be built.
 Two of these Altering plants will be erected one at North Birmingham for the water supply from Five Mile creek and one on Shades mountain for the Ca- haba supply The combined capacity of the forty tanks will be 2O0OO000 gallons. Birmingham uses about 15000, GOO gallons daily at present.
 The completion of the work depends on the arrival of the steel for the tanks. It will be rushed to completion as rapidly as rOssibip
