Ala bQma'a Senators.

Alabama's senators are both over
eighty years old. The term of Senator
Morgan expires in 1907, when he will
be, If living, eighty-three years old.
Senator Pettus' term expires two years
later, and he is now nearly eighty-four
years old. Alabama's legislature meets
only once every four years. After next
years legislature there will be no ses-
sion until 1910. Next years legislature
will, therefore, elect two senators. As
far as known General Morgan and

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.
MIR. BOWLES' INSURANCE EXPE-
RIENCE.

Some facts have recently been made
public which go to SHOW that the
trustees of the Mutual did we'll to get
rid of McCurdy. The late president
of the Mutual has evidently known
what he was doing for several years
and has known that what he was do
ing was not straight insurance bust
ness.
In 1902 Thomas II. Bowles, one of
his own agents, at McCurdy's request
made report upon some flaws in the
management. He evidently found
some, for between the interview
when he read his report to McCurdy,
his discharge handed him by bell
boy of the hotel in which he was
stopping. Ever since this agent has
been trying to unhorse McCurdy.
The testimony of this man shows
that all the familiar methods of bluff
were used upon him. He was first
treated with courtesy and encour-
aged to believe that ne might do
something for the company. When it
was discovered that he was on the
trail of some facts the tone Of the Of
ficers changed. He was discharged, he
was denied access to McCurdy's Of
flee, ne was turned away from the
doors of the trustees, he was at
tackled in the subservient insurance
press with limitations of blackmail
He was privately offered a Settle
ment Of his claim against the COM
pany. Through it all Mr. Bowles
kept his head and fell into none of
the traps set for him. But it can
not be said that he got very far with
his investigation. One man fighting
so much money cuts a sorry figure
The discredited agent, however. has
the satisfaction that upon the third
anniversary Of the date of his first
charge McCurdy retired from the
presidency of the Mutual, verv weary

Housekeepers' books are trifles which

Cut two pieces of canvas each the ex-

lay these down upon the linen in such

to anything that is unAmerican in its
character and strongly tinctured with
the old democratic ways and ideas,

trip of Secretary Taft at Public ex-
pense, who has acted. not as II plain
common American with a high sense
of the glory Of American citizenship,
but quite to the contrary, to such ar
extent as to nausiate those who still
believe that the republic shonld con-
tnue the simplicity and democracy OF
our forefathers.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

Washington, D. c. Sept. rs, 1905
The President has conceived the
plan of establishing single purchas
ing division for the government which
shall be charged with the duty of buy
ing all the supplies for the fedora
departments, the post offices, land
Offices. b-treasnries. custom hous es.
etc, throughout the country. The
Investigations of the Keep ommissiop
have already demonstrated that there
is a wide discrepancy in the prices
now paid for departmental supplies,
that is some instances Ink, for instance,
costs one department three times as
much as it'costs another. More over,
all the graft uncovered by the Post Or
fee Investigation had to do with the
purchase of supplies, and these facts
have convinced the President that not
only could material saving of expense
be effected by consolidating the pur-
chasing divisions of all the depart
ments, but a great and continuous
source of temptation couldbe removed
from the path of officials. many OF
whom draw comparatively small salar-
les. In pursuance of this view he will
recommend to Congress in his next
message the establishment of such a
purchasing bureau, presumably under
the supervision of the Trt asurv. He
will suggest the advisabilitv of en-
ploying few high officials to super
wise the work with some expert pur-
chasing agents. whose knowledge of
the Leading classes Of goods which the
government has to purchase will be
such that it will be impossbl to mis-
lead them, OF course. the President

he receives the authorization of Con

will be able to make SO strong a show
