To men who know about this matter there Is no surprise in the disclosures of the insurance investigation. Neith- CT is any surprise expressed that MT: Roosevelt should impulsively think of returning the money taken from the funds of insurance policy holders for campaign purposes. The suggestion is made. however, that he has not thought we'll over the ethics of the situation, when the return of money is the thing not the money nor can the return of the money deprive him of the benefit he derived from its use. The men who took the money to give for the cam paign appear to be the ones who should reimburse the funds from which 1t was taken. Even then he would remain the beneficiary of the wrong they did. It will not be expected that he should're- turn to the people the ofioe procured for him through the use of this and like moneys, though that would be the only logical thing in an exhibition of heroic virtue. He must keep the of flee. however humiliating may be the ployed (without his knowledge) to procure 1t for him, but he might apoI- OgiZe to Judge Parker for the heat of his reply to the charge of corporation campaigning, and join the Judge, and others who want to improve political the use of corporation funds to cor rupt politics. This would have a bet ter influence upon public morals than can result from asserting that Parker Is mad only because he did not get the money for his campaign. It will be better if the public can be made to feel that neither Judge Parker nor MT. private trust funds for political pur-

THE CENTRAL ALABAMA FAIR.

HIRE AENAnAL ALAnAAAA AANe
 While much has been said and writ ten of the State Fair 10 be held in Birmingham on the closing days of October. 1t should be borne in mind that the central Alabama Fair at Sell ma will open its gates soon after the slose of the Birmingham exhibition.
 The State of Alabama will at the State Fair have an expensive and in- Btructive exhibit reflecting in a meas ure the agricultural and mineral re- sources of the State. The. same ex. hibit will be shown at Selma, as will other important features or the Bir- mingham State Fair.
 Selma is in the heart of the agricul- tural section of the State No sec tion, not even the mineral district of Alabama. has in recent months shown greater vitality or developed faster than the farming interest under the impetus of ten cent cotton. It is pro- posed to make at Selma the best ex- hibit of agricultural resources ever collected in Alabama. In their en- deavors to this end the officials of the Central Alabama Fair have the best wishes of the people of the State.
 The live stock exhibit at Selma is expected to be of special interest. This industry is receiving attention in Middle Alabama that it has never known before. The Selma Fair may chow possibilities in stock raising in Alabama that were undreamed of ir past years.
 The racing should and no doubt will be of special interest. Middle Ala. bama is the natural nome of tn, horse. Some of the fastest horses or the Northern racing circuits have gon, out from the pastures of Middle Ala bama. Moreover Selma has one of th best tracks in the South.
 The Selma Fair will arter opening on November 7th. continue five days

Politics In the Sixth.

Solicitor John Mcqueen of the Walker County Circuit, was in the city yester- day to file his report with the Auditor. He has just finished three strenuous weeks of court in Walker and Winston counties. The Walker County week ended with clean record of convic tions in every case tried.
 T suppose they are having more poll itics in the Sixth District than any where else in the. State" said MT. Me Queen. T found this out in Walker and Winston counties. Nearly every body you see is talking Bankhead or Hobson. The race Is practically on in that district right now. I found that there was a general impression that gankhead had gained strength since the last race. The Bankhead people seemed to be strong in their confidence that they would increase the majority over that of two years ago.
 There was not so much talk of the campaign for Governor. I do not be- lieve that the public mind is set on the race for Governor, that is, do not be- lieve that the public has made up its mind on Conner and Cunningham so that any safe prediction could be made in the event Conner becomes a candidate. The Cunningham sentiment is undoubt- edly strong. however, in Walker Coun- ty."

When Parker was Deserted

When Parker was nominated and some further light was thrown on the situation, MT; Bryan became an earn est worker for his election and the captains of corporations all tumbled over into the Roosevelt camp, not nec- essarily because they thought any bet tel. of Roosevelt than they had before, but because they had discovered some thing about Parker which made them fear him even more than Bryan" and because. it was said. Root might be able to hold Roosevelt doHn. +> This very briefy-and 1ncompletely. 1t may be added-takes the story up to Parker's denunciation of corporation contributions and Roosevelt's reply. It is presumed that Parker knew all this when he denounced the use of corpo- ration money in the campaign, and that he knew also why the corporation cap the thought of his election Perhaps If this had not been in the heat of campaign, Mir. Parker and MT. Roose- welt might have understood each other better, and MT. Roosevelt might have joined hands with the Judge in oppos- Ing. the corporation influence. instead of denouncins what he said as false, when he should have known that at least a part of 1t was certainly true.

strong movement In favor of Judge Parker for the Democratic nom ination had meanwhile been started in the South, the Belmonts being the chief engineers. For some reason perhaps because Of the identification of was concluded that Judge Parker would be the man to nominate and elect Mir. J. ?. Morgan, 1t was said, informed his business associates in Flu rope that Roosevelt's nomination could not be prevented. but that he could be defeated at the polls. He was reported as saying that Judge Parker would be friendly to the corporation interests which Roosevelt threatened to antago- niZe, and that the nomination and elec- ton of Parker could be brought about. This information was conveyed to some of Mfr Roosevelt's earnest supporters and also to men prominent in the Bry- party, the result being that some of MT Bryan's friends who had. been in favor of Parker's nomination turned and opposed him. MT. Bryan's opposi- tion to Parker's nomination may have been on account of this. ....
 Before the meeting of the Demo- cratic convention. however, something corporations that Parker was not the safe man" they had thought him to be, and they became almost desperate in their efforts to prevent his nomlna- tion. It was intimated that from their point of view he would be even worse crats would nominate anyone except Parker or Bryan the money would be furnished for Roosevelts defeat. Mir.

 The Combined Asstisst Roosevelt at the time and during the course of subse- quent development was this.
 After the institution Of the North- ern Securities Company suits, when 1t was heralded abroad in the land that this was but the beginning of a war on illegal practices by great corporations, a combination was formed among the captains of corporations, assisted by their Republican friends in the Senate --six Republican Senators being most active in the movement--to prevent the nomination of Mir. Roosevelt. Ev erything that could be done was done to make effective an organization that would control the Republican National Convention in opposition to Roosevelt, but 1t speedily developed that efforts in that direction had proven a failure and that Roosevelt would surely be nominated.
 The combination of corporation cap- tains then determined to endeavor to procure the nomination by the Demo- cratic convention of candidate who would be. more acceptable to them than was Mir. Roosevelt, as the Republican candidate, and then to put up the money to elect the Democratic candi- date of their making. Some of the Republican Senators who had been in the first combination-among them one whom they had put in training as a candidate against Roosevelt. but who did not appear in exactly that light when the convention assembled baked at the suggestion of going to the. extreme of defeating their own party in order to set rid of Roosevelt. The captains, however, persisted. and the Democratic candidate.

Found in n Fish,

A singular instance OF tenaclty in the
digestion of fish is reported from Shef.
field, England. The fish, a ling four feet
long, had what appeared to be an alb
normally hard liver. But the cutting
up process revealed something iaI
stranger. The supposed hard live'
turned out to be a piece of stout netting
over two yards long and IA inches wide.
which had been pressed into the form OF
O football. How this mass came to be
swallowed Is a mystery. 1t was sug'
gested that the fish, caught in the tolls
of a nsherman's net, had tried to escape
by d%cvouring his prison walls.
