AL. Cole Of Walker announced his
candidacy for governor today. He is
formally in the race as an active candi-
date for the republican nomination,
and his announcement states the main
propositions on which he will ask for
the support Of delegates. It reads as
follows: - 81
Mr.. Cole was Woodworking member
in the legislatures of 1908 and 1905, and
will base his claims largely on 4the,Iecord
made at those sessions. In 1903 he Sc
cured the passage of a new and rational
county division law also a law reducing
the expense Of collecting election returns
in the rural counties, and made, a hard
fight for his bill taxing logs in the coun-
ties where they are cut. = -
In the 1905 session Mr.. Cole took the
lead In passing constructive legislation.
The new law governing state land sales
is to his credit 1t creates the immigra-
ton bureau, with an appropriation to adj
vertise state lands, which has brought
| manifold returns. It prevents sale, Of
state lands to SPECTATORS, by limiting
purchases to 800 acres and requiring i'm
provements within three years. Mr.. Cole
|also fathered- the bill for a. comprehen-
sive system of drainage, under which d
| state survey is being completed, and will
4 be made the basis for all future ditch
work. He made the final draft-aef4 the
highway commission bill, which allowed
roads to be built in the northern counties
with state money, instead Of restricting
all state roads to turnpike standards
| This form of bill was acceptable to TIL,
! northern districts and was passed, giving
| the state a highway commission after tel
years of effort in that line.
| The state development issue, which wa
originated by Mr.. Cole, has proved yer,
popular over the state. It has receive,
many Endorsements from the press an,
from business men. - ~.. ~-

BURLEsQUE DRAWS WELL
Louie Dacre at the Dewey Keeps Au-
dience in Good Hurnor.


dience in Good Humor.
Louie Dacre Is at the Dewey theater
with the Fay Foster company this week
and her presence alone is enough to
make the show snappy and interesting.
She Is one Of the few bur1esque stars
that can play more than one engage
mentaa season at the same theater and
be welcomed by good audiences at
every visit. She has worked many
new features into the burlesques and
clio and has eliminated most Of the
time worn stunts.
I The opening burlesque is well written
and well acted. The comedy is not
oyerdraWn nor overburdened- with slap
stick work. The comedians are clever
and present the piece in It's best light.
The newest songs are presented by the
chorus, led by Alma Vivian, female
baritone. This young woman also does
some excellent work in the olio.
Both the burlesques are deliberately
staged and costumed and the cast IS
unusually large.
In the olio, Keno, Welsh and Mont
rose have the leading attraction in Their
novelty acrobatic act. Hervert and
Willing, black face comedians, have 9
clever dialog, well mixed with singing
and dancing. Oushman and st. Claire
have novelty act that would take well
anywhere if given little more work
and attention. Louie Dacre keeps the
audience IN a roar with her clever mon
clog and parodies.

Birmingham. Ala. March 14.-Judge Alton B. Parker, who addressed the Mississippi legislature yesterday. pass ed through this city at an early hour this morning en route to North Carolina In an interview with a representative of The Ledger the ex-Presidential can didate said:
 q am convinced as far as am per- sonally concerned that MT. Roosevelt will ask for the nomination of the Re- publican party for third term. While this would probably be disputed if 1t was reported In Washington or In oth- CT portions of the East, in my own mind I am satisfied that at present that is the intention or the President. In spite or the fact that when his nomination in 1904 was an assured fact he made the statement that under no condition would he again be candi- date, I believe that Roosevelt has in- tended all along to again ask for the nomination"
 Affairs in the East arc proving of considerable interest,"" Judge Parker continued when the subject was men tioned, and I fear that the United with the Philippines until some dlspo- sition of the islands are made. The islands are inhabited by tribes that can never be reconciled until such pos itive actions are taken as when the Americans were compelled to deal with the Indians.

No one has ever declared the Indi3n devoid of intellect. -~The Moro is in my opinion, and the Indian is not, the fam atic concerning his religion or any other subject as compared to our new subjects.
