 The President informed the PennsyI- vania delegation today that he had of fered the place to Major William War ner of Kansas City. The latter has not replied. but 1t is understood that he will not accept. He is said to be a wealthy man and ambitious to succeed Senator Cockrell at the expiration of his term.
 Information from Missouri Republi- cans Is that a deadlock on the Sena- torship is likely between Richard Ker- ems, National Committeeman, and Thomas Niedringhaus. rich young iron monger of St. Louis. In the event of a tie-up. Congressman Richard Bar thoIdt Is regarded as having the best dark horse show.
 The Interstate Commerce Commits sionership. which Senator Cockrell has decided to accept at the hands of Pres ident Roosevelt. pays s7,500 a year with about $2.000 of expense account which is several thousand better than a Senatorship. with all it's perquisftes, pays. R. H. Watkins.

 President Roosevelt talks to any of his visitors who earnestly and intelli- gently broach the subject about rail- way rate regulations.
 He confesses freely he is most inter- ested in that sort of legislation, and he is not abating any of the radicalism of his message on the subject. The plan. as shown during his past weeks interviews. which he most discusses, is the creation of an Interstate Commerce Court. He is said to scout any impress sion that this should be a a bipartisan court. insisting that If it's creation falls to him, he will make 1t a court of rail- way experts regardless of party con- victions and accordingly he strongly condemns mixing politics in the mal- ing of such tribunal

Decides That the Course of Book. keeping Given By Draughon't Practical Business Colleges Is the Best.

The Supreme Court, relying on evidence of business men. has decided that Draughon's Practical Business Colleges. Dexter Avenue. opposite Postoflce, Mont gomery. Ala. and elsewhere, gives the BEST course of bookkeeping.
 To the decision of the Supreme Court on question of law all other courts and the people must bow. for who are more apt to know law. Who are MORE COM PETENT to pass upon the superiority of course of Bookkeeping and the merits of textbooks on that subject than prac- tical BOOKKEEPERS, MERCHANTS and BANKERS who have given, eyidence that Draughon's is the best? Hence. by analogy the Supreme Court has decided that the course of Bookkeeping taught by
