Newman as an "Anuel."

The disabilities of Wall street have been stirred by the misadventures of William H. Newman, president of the New York Central, in the role of theatrical angel.

Oates May Be Proposed.

Oates May Be Proposed.
 It is more than probably that ex-Gov- ernor William C. Oates will also be pro- posed for the Senate by his friends should an open contest before the people be waged As a member of Congress and governor of the state, he has had ex- cellent training. As the representative of the Third district no congressman from Alabama took higher rank than did General Oates. He had a high stand ing in the official circles of the capital city and by his prestige and influence succeeded in placing many Alabamians into the government service. Even now many of the Alabama colony in Wash ington remember the good work of Gen eral Oates and often ask why this state doesn't send General Goats to Washing ton
 It has been said that 1t Is hard for a statesmen in Alabama who has been ir- regular to again get back into political favor. The past events have established this statement as almost fixed law in our political history. Yet this Is the day of political revolution and the unexpected may happen.
 Congressman Henry D. Clayton of the Third district should be mentioned when summing up senatorial possibilities. As democratic national committeeman and memDer or the 1uu1clafy committee Tn the House of Representa- tiyes. he has taken an active part in shaping political and legislative policies. He Is called the Prince of the Alabama delegation and his personality and political sagacity have prevailed nearly every part of this commonwealth.
 Oscar ". Underwood the able repre- sentative of the Ninth district. has had the training that would qualify him to wear with ability a senatorial toga. He has made record in the House that has attracted the attention of the entire state As member of the rules commit tee and other Important committees he has figured. prominently and actively in shaping legislation.
 Others Mentioned
 Representatives whose names have been frequently spoken of in connection with senatorial offices are Judge William Richardson the representative from the Eighth district. and Congressman c. w Taylor. who represents the First dis. trict and the interests of Mobile Ala. bama's harbor city.
 One thing is certain. the pebble of Ala. bama have always elected conservative men to the Senate and no recent events indicate that public opinion has under gone change.

The Issue.

It has been hinted in certain circles that the issue, the people versus the cor porations," would play an important part in the coming state election. It has also been. hinted that Dr. Cunningham was in harmony with the corporations, and that some candidate would be brought cut who would wage campaign against the Acting Governor on these lines. Can such argument be advanced and substan- tiated against the Acting Governor? His friends assert that they would welcome such attacks. They declare that 1t was Dr. Cunningham who is largely respon- sible for convict reform movement that has brought seevral times the amount of money Into the coffers of the state and counties than was received under the old system when corporations leased the convicts. They also assert that it was the Lieutenant Governor who is largely responsible for the elective railroad com mission becoming a law. They point out that if Governor Cunningham had been opposed to the elective commission he could have easily referred the bill to a committee that would have placed It In pigeon hole instead of the one that reported favorably.
 Conditions may change and political storm may sweep over the state mat may modify entirely the present prospects, but unless this happens our two senators Will be reelected and Acting Governor Cum ningham will become Governor Cunning ham.
 Situation illustrated.
 The relative position of Lieutenant and Acting Governor Cunningham to the gov ernorship is similar to the relation that a homely woman over in east Alabama bore to "Cotton Eye Joe" the popular tune that fddlers play at every dance over in that section of the state.

wives Sold In Russian Provinces.

In the Kharkoff, Poltava and Eka-
terinoslav provinces of Russia there is
a rapidly growing trade in the sales of
of wives, frequently at their own de.
sire. The usual cause is the extreme
poverty of the husband, who can no
longer keep his Wife though 1t is of
ten because the wife desires to be free
from a cruel, drunken partner. The
trade has become so common that few
markets are held without such trans.
actions, which are considered so bind
ing that no case has been known of a
husband demanding his wife back.
Their market value varies from c S to
SIS. More is never paid. The women
are required to be good housewives
and field workers. The dealers or
agents are Jews. who get 10 to 15 per
cent on the purchase price.

sale OF the British isles was made en-
tirely from the fact that Secretary

purchase, and his satisfaction at see
