ONLY ONE ELEM

ONLY ONE ELEMENT.
Within recent months it has become
quite the thing to read and hear a
great deal of the opposition of the
money power" to President Roose-
welt and its determination to prevent
his nomination, and if unsuccessful in
that to defeat him at the polls. Great
prominence is given to this and mucn
stress is aaid upon it in certain quar-
ters, where it is employed as a lever
to work upon tsmid minds and cause
them to become a~pprehensive of the
party's success next fall, should
Roosevelt become it's standard bearer.
The motive for this is easily under
stood and the men who are bringing
that sort of argument to bear are
equally easily placed. They are the
hangerson, the barnacles that thrive
upon the crumbs dropped from the
tables of some men and corporations
whose antagonism the president has
aroused by his plainspoken insistence
upon obedience to the law.
While it is not to be denied that
in some quarters putatively represen-
tative of the wealth of the country
President Roosevelt is strongly OPP
posed, and that to encompass his de-
feat that same element would be will
ing to go to almost any extreme,
it is not true that the concentrated
effort of the entire money power
is directed against him. The honest,
honorable men of wealth, those. who
have amassed riches and are amass.
ing them in a legitimate and lawful
manner, are not opposed to him. On
the contrary, they are among his
%stanchest friends and strongest admir-
ers. The support they have to give
ds already his. They recognize in
him an honest man and a conscien.
tious official, who is e~ndeavoring to do
his duty as he understands it and to
perform the functions of his great
Office as demanded of him by his oath
as the nations executive, whose wei
rare and interests he strives to zeal
ously guard and periodically advance.
But the men who would become the
possessors of unlimited wealth by un.
scrupul6us and dishonest methods and
in the attainment of which they are
willing to ignore the rights OF others
and defraud the people, riding rough
shod over every law, whether divine
or profane, and subverting every
principle of right and justice-they
are leagued in opposition to him and
liberal subscribers to a fund to be
employed against him. With each
passing day this fact is becoming
better known to the people and knowl-
edge of it draws them closer to him.
1t is because of the enemies he has
made that they respect and trust him
and so long as they know the present
opposition to him continues, SO long
do they know that he is still true to
his trust and that he stands as the
president of the whole people and not
as the champion of a small coterie
whose sole ambition is to become
possessed Of the power and might
that immense wealth brings. Only
let the same element continue it's
opposition and nothing short OF the

FLOWED HORNS TOO HARD.
eugers in Armory Disturbed the
 Board of Aldermen.

Last night during the session of the city council several buglers belonging to the Alabama National Guard commenced to practice in the armory which is located on the same floor of the building as the council chamber is. The soldiers were making considerable noise, and were in- terrupting the municipal officers in their proceedings.
 Some one made a motion that the bug lers be invited in to the council chamber and Alderman Harry Jones was dele gated by Mayor Drennen to extend the invitation. He returned in a few mo- ments and informed the chair that the soldiers presented their compliments and regretted they could not accept the in- vitation. Mayor Drennen then added Capt. Edward D. Smith, city attorney and commanding officer of the Brandon Light artillery to the committee, and in structed the two to again etxend the invitation. When the two officials ar rived in the armory they found the sol diers had departed, and a short while later they were heard footing their truu- pets on the street.

have been sold and there are only nine barrels remaining of the first shipment. There is, however. a second shipment en route, and this will complete the ship ment for Birmingham unless the sale ex- ceeds 20oo.
 The little statues make an excellent paper weight for a desk. or an ornament for the parlor. Many ladies are purehas- ing two of them and placing them at either end of the mantles in their homes. The statues are neat ornaments. besides attracting a great deal of attention.
 The statuettes have also been placed on sale at St. Louis, and are selling well there. Many people after seeing the big iron man are so impressed with the value and appropriateness of the exhibit that they purchase one of the smaller statues to carry home as a souvenir. It is thought that several thousand can be sold at St. Louis during the exposition. There are also a number of other souv- enirs on sale there, and many of them will be brought to Birmingham.

STREET GAR MEN
 GET AN INCREASE
AMOUNT OF INCREASE TO CON- DUcToRs AND MoToRMEN DE- TENDS ON LENGTH OF SERVICE. WAS MADE VOLUNTARILY.

Announcement was made yesterday of an increase in the wages of the motor men and conductors of the Birmingham Railway Light and Power Company. and the increase went into effect immediately.
 The increase is on a sliding scale, which depends on the length of service of the employe. Before the increase, mo- tormen and conductors were getting from 15 to 20 cents an hour, according to their length of service. According to the new scale they will receive from Is to 25 cents an hour, according to service.
 This increase will benefit about 300 em- ployes of the company. and was made voluntarily by the company. Already the motormen and conductors in Bir- mingham receive higher wages than any in the south with the exception of New Orleans and this increase places them nearly on an equal basis with that city
 At the same time it was announced that George T. Atkinson has been pro- noted to the place of assistant superin- tendent of transportation. For some time past he has been in the office of Superintendent Harris. and before that he was dispatcher on the Gate City and North Birmingham lines. He is a popu- lar and conscientious employe of the company and has been rapidly promoted
 Superintendent Harris, of the railway department, states that now the regular through trains to East Lake every night are running, and making the trip in about 20 minutes. There are two trains leaving Second avenue and Nineteenth street at o'clock, two at SIP and two at SPA o'clock.

 The city has installed a polio telephone system over the city which is an addi- tional help to the fire department, in the way of giving fire alarms.
 The board of mayor and aldermen pass ed as an ordinance the building laws of- fered by the South Eastern Tariff asso- citation and these are the building laws of Birmingham today
 Southeastern Tariff Association has been carried out. Further that not only has the agreement of February, f901 been carried out but the city has done more than was asked, to-wit:
 First. A station in the west end, known as No. 6. "Greener.'
 Second. Placing an engine in active service at Station No 5. North High lands.
 Third The purchase and placing In re- serve the new No. l Metropolitan steam CT, 'Thad Mullin.''
 We believe that with these facts before them, the fair minded citizens and tax payers of Birmingham will dealize that the present board of mayor and aldermen has done and Is doing every thing pos sible to protect the property against fire and fire losses.

ASSAULT WITH WEAPON
Waite Man Fined $50 By Judge Feaein
 's6Jeqo snolJsS uo

A. J. Overton, a white man, was yes- terday fined $50 by Judge Feagin on a charge of assault with weapon on Haxel Farris, a woman in a hause at Twenty-third street and Second avenue. The evidence was that he attempted to cut her throat with a knife
 Overton will appeal the case to the Higher courts. Judge Feagin placed a heavy fine on him because of the place where the fight took place. as well as the condition of the fight.
 J. Fl. Harrington, white man, was bound over to the criminal court by Judge Feagin on charge of larceny of a watch chain valued at about s20 from the per son. The chain is said to have been stolen In a saloon on First avenue between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets. The young man said he bought 1t from lit- tie negro boy.

I. A. Baker. Sr., aged "A years. died yesterday morning at the residence of his son, l. A Baker, Jr., on Eleventh avenue and Twelfth street. north. He had been III for some time.

The funeral services will take place this morning at 10:3O o'clock from the Wes- ley chapel, and the interment will be in Elm Leaf cemetery. The Rev. Mir.

VULCAN STATUETTES ARE
 SELLING QUITE RAPIDLY

The sale of the statuettes of Vulcan is progressing more rapidly than was expect ed. The little bronze statues are very neat. and few people refuse to purchase one. or to give an order for one to be delivered later.
 John F. Motherwell has charge of the sale of the statuettes, and has about seven agents working the city. Each of the agents has a territory and he makes a house to house canvass each day
 Already about 400 of the statues have been sold, and the agents have been at work only four days. This is considered very encouraging and will realize quite a neat sum of money for the company which was formed by members of the club to take charge of the sale. It is thought that there will be no trouble in selling leo0 statuettes in Birmingham and the surrounding suburbs. In one day an agent sold s7 statuettes in Ensley, and it is thought that twice that many more can be sold there.
 Already about ten barrels of the statues
