1HAT the United States government
w does business on strictly business
principles is evidenced by the an
nouneement from Washington that ost-
master Hughes of Birmingham Is to be
removed and his successor appointed. It
seems that Postmaster Hughes, who
Is in himself a good man and
generous fellow, has cashed
checks for certain of his friends and
turned these checks in as cash to the
government depository. The checks were
all good, or else they were made good,
and the government is in no sense loser.
Yet government regulations prohibit such
practices and DR.. Hughes head may fall
in the basket.
The government cannot do business as
a small concern does it, With its thou
sands of postoffices throughout the coun-
try 1t must have regulations which its
agents must live up to. If there were not
such, the postoffice department would
continually be In hot water. 1t is unfor-
tunate, perhaps, that Birmingham's post
master should have to suffer, but the
government says business Is business"
In this connection it might be well il
city and county affairs were conducted on
the strictly business principles prescribed
by United States government regulations.
Regular reports of expenditures and all
other details should be made to the pub
lc Officers who receive fees for the per-
Torrance of their duties should be re-
quired to make annual reports of the
same, and such reports should be open
to public inspection and printed for the
benefit of the public.
In this connection 1 do not mean to
criticise anyone, but the conduct of state,
county and city affairs should be pub
lie to every citizen. and every detail
should be presented to them with full OPP
portunity for every taxpayer to criti-
else.
Every business house and corporation Is
required to make a detailed annual re-
port to those interested. United States
government reports are printed annually
and any citizen may get the same upon
application. Such should be the case in
county and city affairs.
There has been much discussion recent
ly In regard to the amount of fees re-
ceived annually by License Inspector

Price of Eggs.

This is the first time in years that
the price of eggs has not increased just
before and during the Christmas holi-
days" said Andrew Tedeski, a grocer.
Usually the price goes up about ten
cents a dozen just before Christmas, but
this season there has been no change.
The retail price has been 80 cents a
dozen practically all fall.
Speaking of egg prices" said Mr..
Tedeski. 1T reminds me of Indiana.
When 1 lived in one of the farming sec
lions we could buy eggs at three dozen
for a quarter and there were plenty to
sell at that price. We could also get
chickens for ten and fifteen cents each.
They were good sized ones too. l wish
we could get things to eat for those
prices in Birmingham, but I am afraid
you need mt wait for such an opportunity.
There are more buyers than sellers here
and 1t was the reverse in Indiana"

account of game laws in some of the
states. Another reason that venison is
scarce is that buyers are not willing to
pay the price of this meat, and restaurant
keepers have difficulty in disposing of
the meat at profit-paying prices
There has been a large number OF
duck and wild geese on the Birmingham
market this year. IN fact, game is plen-
tiful everywhere, though market hunt
ers are not receiving a very good price for
what they kill. This is due to the unusual

retired to the interior. When the
French pursued them they found a

they could make no progress and In
storming which many died. The For

the campaigns OF the French against
them never got farther than the poison
line. The poison was a native one, as
deadly as arsenic or strychnine.

At the afternoon session, the order
of the day was the seCoLd reading Of
the ieprosy bills, but they were defer
red. Senator Lane not being present.
And then House bill 16S, which is the
liquor license bill was taken up ~
the whole hose, Achi claiming that he
had rot meaut b. his motion of the
morning to take up the bill in COM
mittee of the whole. The bill in it's
essential particulars is the admins
tration bill. 1t was read section by
section, and the first tussle came on
the proposition to give distillers Ii
cense for fifteen instead of ten years
as provided in the bill. The fifteen
year term passed. Dickey then moved
to amend the section by making the
license fee for distilers s. a year for
the first five years and 800 per annum
for the balance of the term of fifteen
years. This was lost and then the
license for distillers was placed at So
per year.
The license fee for wine makers was
put at IS per year, and the period Of
the license was fixed at one year.
1t was provided that wine should not

The wholesale liquor license was fix
ed at $3.50 annually.
The detail liquor license was fixed at
$500 annually.
And at this point Lane made a mo-
ton that the bill be referred to spe-
ciaI committee, to give the people in
terested in the liquor bill chance to
be heard
Paris, Achi and Bishop opposed this
and the Lane motion was lost.
The license to- sell liquor in original
containers of less than five gallons IN
bulk was placed at 800 annually,
1t was provided that no man should
be given a license to sell liquor who
has twice been convicted of drunken
