working for the city TO what he consid-
cred more nearly the amount which they
really earned and deserved. He has al
ways maintained q reputation for deal.
ing fairly with all trying to keep the
expenses of the city within reasonable
bounds bat not attempting to do so at
the expense of the class of men who are
least able to bear the burden. In the
matter of public improvements the Col
onel has taken the grounds which have
seemed to him for the best interests of
the city ut large. He was in favor of
the Woodland bonus which the taxpayers
afterwards voted for He took hold of
the proposition to secure the beet sugar
factory and is ready to take a like adj
vanced position on any proposition
which will benefit the whole city. Col.
Moyses has been hard working man all
his life and the greater part of his work
has been in this county where he came
on returning from the war of the re-
bellion where he was wounded and at
one time was captured by the enemy.
During the year just ending he has
served as president of the council. He
has served the fifth ward for one term
to its entire satisfaction and the voters
are likely to lose his services for an
other term.
The republicans of the fifth ward have
paid their present supervisor the com
pliment of a denomination over one of
the strongest candidates who could have
been presented against him. Mr.. John
A. F. Evans was elected two years ago
from the fifth word against seemingly
great odds and although young man
he has made record which is seeming
ly entirely satisfactory to his constit-
uents. He is probably one of the
youngest supervisors who ever sat on
the board but that fact seems to have
little weight with the service he is able
to perform. He has probably given
much more time to the duties of the of
fee than the great majority of supervi-
sors and should be able to do more for
the city and county during his second
term than he has done in the one which
has just ended.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1902-04-04

brought out the preference OF the
majority for him but which left no sore
spots on the other candidates and the
best of feeling has prevailed throughout
his contest for the election. There
should be no reason whatever for doubt
ing his election or that he will make a
careful and painstaking alderman.
The candidate for supervisor in the
third ward, Mr.. William A. Kent, was
a new man before the voters of the ward
a year ago but he enters the contest this
year after having served on the board
of supervisors for year, stronger than
he was when he first came before his
constituents. Mr.. Kent is a typical
American workingman in every sense
of the term. He is contractor and
builder by occupation but a man who
thinks he has as much responsibility in
the affairs of the public as any other
and he has taken hold of the response
bility with will. In his work on the
board he has tried to keep the ex-
penses Of the county down to as low a
mark as consistent with the best good of
the community and in all of his work
he has been conscientious and pains
taking. 1t is natural to predict that his
reelection will follow as naturally as did
his denomination.

SHAW TO SULZER.

 ~ 's' Workers Bill.

 % 'e' Workers Bill.
 Washington, Feb. 4-Secretary Shaw today wrote letter to Representative Sulzer of New York concerning the lat ter's bill to deposit Government funds at interest In National banks throughout the country. MT. ,Sulzer's letter asked information as to the amount of interest which the Government would have real ized had the proposed law been adopted as a part of the national banking law. Secretary Shaw's reply says
 'If the surplus money in excess of fifty millions working capital had been depos- ited in clearing house cities in prcpor- ton to the relative capital of each bank therein. with no other security than a prior lien upon the banks assets, the Government would have lost nothing and if the Government had realized 2 per cent upon the funds so deposited 1t would have received $32, 900 00): Aided in this | way. the banks would have been able to increase credit accommodations to the people in the sum of g 0000,0 ,000.
 "T think some provision for the deposit i If surplus funds belonging to the United 1 States Government with national banks 1 upon security other than Government bonds would be wise, though I doubt the limitations as to the amount of capital md surplus contained in the bill also question the wisdom of mandatory pro- visions of law Leslie M.

COLI UMBIANA WILL RETAIN
 SHELBY COUNTY C0URT HOUSE
By Decision of Supreme Court Act is Declared Un- constltutiOnal- Opinions Handed #
 Down YeSterday ..

NAfter a lapse of one week the Alabama Supreme Court resumed It's labers at 10 o'clock yesterday morning when the docket of the Eighth Judicial Division was called. Many lawyers from Norfh Alabama were present and numerous cases of minor importance were submit ted to the Court.
 More opinions than usual were handed of which was an opinion by Mir. Justice Haralson affirming the decision of the lower court in the case of John A. Camp bell and others against A. P. Longshore and others. This decision forms the last chapter in the controversy between citi- zens of Columbiana and Caiera concern ing the location of the county seat of Shelby County.
 The Supreme Court holds that the act passed by the last Legislature by which the county seat was removed from Co., because the Legislature had no author ity to levy the tax provided by tine act.
 It will be recalled that the -Constitu- tional Convention abrogated the act of the Legislature on the ground that the bill was irregularly passed by the Legis- lature. The action was prosecuted before the Supreme Court merely to determine which of the parties to tho, litigation shall pay the costs of the case
 By the decision of the Court yesterday the costs will fall upon John A. Camp bell and others representing the citizens of Calera. The decision Is clean vic tory for Columbiana as that city wins its suit and retains the court house with out the payment of costs.
 Opinions were handed down by the Court as follows:

FILIPINOS WANT PEACE
BULK OF INHABITANTS WEARY
 OF THE WAR
Insurrectionists Who are Keeping, Up the Conflict are Committing Crime Against Civilization,
 Says Governor Taft.

Washington, Feb 4-Before the Senate Committee today, speaking of the inii- ttary policy in the Philippines. Governor and that which remains is crime against civilization. It Is also a crime against the Filipino people to keep up a state of war under the circumstances. The insur- gents have worn out the right to any treatment but that which Is severe and within the laws of war"
 Governor Taft also said that the great est majority of the people of the islands desire peace. and that the insurrection- ists were by their acts preventing the and earning a quiet living Instead of being allowed to do this they were kept under system of terrorism, which should be stopped.
 as General Otis had received reinforce ments sufficient for his purpose. the Fil- iptno army had broken up and scattered into guerrilla bands.
 On this point Aguinaldo and Luna had differed. So sharp was this difference he said that Ag,iinaldo had directed and se- cured the assassination of Luna, thus leaving the way open for the carrying out Of his own plans. He you'd not re- port the incident if 1t had not been pos itiveiy reported to him by General Funs- ton. ,: . Aguinaldo said that if he did not kill Luna. Luna would kill him. Indeed, the custom was to order mans death In his absence and have him killed upon his return. The presence of these guerrilla bands rendered 1t necessary to place gar
 risons everywhere, there being at one time as many as 500 of them. This rem ders the work before the army very ardu- ous and the activity. the skill and brav- Ito soon render the enemy tired of war fare.
 In response to a question by Senator Patterson as to the practices of the Ma cabees. Governor Taft warned the Com mittee and others again5t accepting. with out a great degree of allowance, the statements made in private letters. It was impossible to prevent retaliation by private soldiers under all circumstances As a rule, the witness said. American pinos.' This, so far as he knew. was uni formly true of the Filipino officers who were high in command. There was some cases to the contrary on the part of the subordinate Filipino officers.
 He had not, he said. in reply to a question from Senator Culberson, known anything of the reports of the killing of Filipino prisoners with the knowledge of General Mctcalfe of Kansas. Governor Taft said that notwithstanding he was in an attitude of favor to military rule. it was still his deliberate judgment that never had war been conducted in which more compassion. more restraint and more generosity had been exhibited than in connection with the American officers in the Philippines"
 Senator Culberson asked concerning the erect Of the policy of concentration. Governor Taft said that General Bell s order for concentration had been pub lished since his departure from Manila He had, however talked with General Bell cn that point and had told him that he did not consider such an order necos- sary because he was of the opinion that

a
 proper degree of pressure brought to bear on the wealthy men of Batangas would have the effect of causing the province to yield without making a sweeping order of concentration.
 After going over a part of General Bells order. Senator Culperson asked If he still entertained the same opinion pre- viously expressed as to the military policy in the Philippines. To this Gov all over these islands and that which remains is crime against civilization. It Is crime against the Filipino people to keep up state of war under the cir cumstances. They have worn out the right to any treatment but that which is severe and within the laws of war"
 This statement led Senator Patterson to ask whether the witness did not con- sider that even a small number of people do not deserve consideration at the hands of the American army. Governor Taft said that the great majority of the people of the islands desire peace and that the insurrectionists> by their acts were preventing the mass of tho people from settling down and earning quiet living. Instead of being allowed to do this. they were kept under d system of terrorism, which should be stopped.
 Democratic members of the committee read a statement from General Mac Arthur and others expressing opinions that the hostility of the Filipinos to American institutions Is due to innate differences and Is general, but Governor Taft replied that he had approached the question at issue from different stand point from these authorities and said that most of his conclusions were drawn from contact with the Filipinos themselves.
 Governor Taft was questioned concern ing the acts of the Philippine Commission for the punishment of treason but he expressed a desire to postpone discus sion of this matter to a time when more attention could be given it.
 The committee then adjourned for the day

from a lower court.
 It will be recalled that some time agr a controversy arose among the memberf of the congregation of the Christian Church of Huntsville because of tns Foreclosure of a mortgage on the church property. Several members were expelleu from the church by the elders. The ex- pelled members appealed to the courts for reinstatement. The action was in the shape of a petition for a mandamus. which was denied. They then appealed to the Supreme Court, which held that 1t was an ecclesiastical matter and was not a proper matter for consideration by the courts.
 This second case Is brought by A. W. Mosely, who contends that the Christian Church of Huntsville Is incorporated. and as such. is amenable to the laws of the State. He applied to the Circuit Court of Madison County for a man damus to the elders of the church. com polling them to reinstate him as mem Der. The application was denied. It is from this decision of the lower court that an appeal is taken to the Supreme Court.
 The case will no doubt be watched with a great deal of interest.
