Business is business, and II acting
Governor Cunningham wants to be actual
Governor Cunningham. he will enforce the
law to the letter, as he promises to do.
Yet promises In politics are mere myths.
The public wants to see Governor Cum
bingham materialize them. II he will do
it, and do it vigorously, he will make
himself the man who will merit the
plaudits of the whole state.
We have all seen recently what a man
who sets out to do something can ac-
compllsh. This was evidenced recently in
the Conner contest. Conner appeared on
the horizon as a comet of commercial
revolution, promising 60 readjust freight
rates and give to Alabama merchants and
shippers better rates and more oppor-
tunity to do business. He developed de-
fects in existing condition, promised re-
forms, and shot across the heavens like
shower of stars, illuminating the earth
and taking full possession thereof. He
promised something. seemed firm in his
determination to do it, and the voters
were with him right or wrong 1t just
shows what fellow determined to do
something which the people think right,
can do for himself
As matter of fact, this is day when
people are thinking for themselves. They
want to see man in public office do
something. They want to see him carry
out the full effect of the laws. If the
man in office doesn't do it, they are will
oI-
in office who will promise to do It. They
want man in every office with the
nerve to do his duty.
And by the way, old political lines In
this state seen to have been in a measure
obliterated lately The people are look
ing for results from every man In Of
fee They are watching Governor Cum
bingham and they are going to watch Mr.
Conner to see whether he carries out his
pledges when he becomes chairman of the
railroad commission.
Right In this connection, 1t may be that
Mr.. Conner will be a conspicuous figure in
the next political contest in this state
All men have ambition, and 1t goes with
out saying that Mr.. Conner is one of the
men of this state 1t may be that he shall
desire to be governor some day. or that
he would go to the United States senate.
We all know. that neither Senator Morgan
nor Senator Pettus can live always. al
though 1t is hoped that they will both
live for many years.
Mr.. Conner must be considered In the
future political history of Alabama. He is
good Methodist good politician, a
good fighter. a nervy fellow and knows
now to say what he thinks, and has a
Following which will stick to him as long
as ne sticks to the right He is full Of en-
ergy and has many good points, though
to some of us he has presented his bad
ones Undoubtedly, however, there must
be merit in the man.
But back to the fair. Let us take our
political fights into the back alleys, scrap
over them there, but on the front streets
present united front and make bold
to make Birmingham the best and big
gest town in the south.

med BRACE TALKS ABOUT CURRENT TOPICS
! OF SOME GENERAL AND LOCAL INTEREST

IT HIS trial of Judge swayne, of Flor
(CD ida, under impeachment proceed
ings before the United States Sem
ate. seems to be in the nature of farce.
The charges against Judge swayne are
that he once rode in a private car: that he
charged expenses of $40 a day, and that
he lived largely outside of his judicial
district The main feature is the expense
account. It is claimed that Judge
Swayne's expenses would not average
over IS a day and that he charged the
government $40 a day. The total amount
of excess in expenses as charged would
be something like 300 days at 81 a day, or
a total of $500 over-charges against the
government.
It may be that Judge Swayne took
room with bath, which would account
for at least one dollar a day excess over
what the average F1oridian would think
the judge was entitled to. 1t may be again
that Judge swayne preferred a bird, or a
duck, or pompano, or even perhaps a
sirloin steak in preference to ham and
eggs or a hamburg steak This is all ac-
cording to taste.
Yet the United States Senate in order
to comply with the wishes of certain
Floridans who may not understand the
virtues and comforts of a porcelain bath
tub and the suceulent qualities of an ex-
ira sirlon over the ordinary nourishment
of the round steak has decided to spend
much time and money in impeachment
proceedings.
An appropriation of $4,000 has been
made to defray the expenses of this trial
before the United States Senate, and it is
a foregone conclusion that Judge swayne
will not be impeached.
1t would strike one that senatorial ex-
penses are very much greater in pro-
portion than the expenses of Judge
swayne. AS matter of fact, Senator's
OF the United States require all man
ner of luxurles There is a contingent
fund which amounts to something like
$500, 900 a year for the purchase of del
icate little 1uxuries demanded by MEM
bers of this body. Among the items are
Apollinaris Water, snuff, scented soaps,
perfumes, and hundreds of other little
articles which each senator might re-
quire. Senators have a bath room in
connection with the Senate in which
Turkish and Russian baths are provid-
&c, and of course mere are white marble
tubs and all manner of luxuries. They
have barber shop in which there are
no fees for shaves or hair cuts or shoe
polishes; and indeed all the luxuries OF
the renned home are furnished to the
members of this august body When
they get 1t all themselves, and when no
member of that body can live in Wash
ington on $40 day II he were to pay
for all he gets, as must an United States
Judge, one cannot expect them to vote
to find Judge Swayne guilty of excessive
charges against the government when
he puts in an expense account OF $40
a day for presiding at courts outside
of his own supposed place of residence.
Speaking about the Senate, there was,
rot many years ago, a senatorial funeral
which cost in all, s21. 900. A distinguished
member of that bod died and 1t was
necessary to appoint a committee from
