Not Poultney Bigelow, but the con- ditions at Panama are the issue" truly remarks The San Antonio Express. The effort to dispose of the business by abusing and trying to discredit Bige- low is not at all creditable. He made q number of definite charges in con- nection with the canal work and they have not been disproven. They are not disproven by mere assertions from the President and his complaisant Secre- tary. It matters not whether Bigelow's charges are wholly or only partially true, they have been made public and they reflect seriously on the entire canal management. The country wants some better evidence of their falsity than the opinions of Roosevelt or Taft, or any othSr interested party. The maker Of thCs'. charges is not the issue before the people and cannot be made so. Let all the truth come out and see whether Bigelow has borne false witness.

It will be remembered that after the steamer Slocum was destroyed in New York harbor the statement was made that such life-preservers as could be gotten hold of were perfectly worth less. Now it is announced that the life preservers on the Valencia, which re gently went to pieces near Vancouver Island, were so worthless that when thrown overheard they would immedi- ateiy sink. There ought to be some means of punishing such disregard for human life but it seems that there is none.

q hope" said lover of music yes- terday, the Montgomery City Band members will give us more open air entertainments. I am sure that they need not fear that the class of music which they produce will not be appre- ciated.
 T have so often heard the work of this band commended and I have per sonally noticed that remarkable pro- gress has been made by every member of the band. The people of Montgom- cry should be proud of this organfZa- tion. As hard as do all the members work for the success of the band, es- pecial mention of the conductor, Will liam Smith, is in place. He is an ener- getic worker as well as a very com potent musician, being so versatile, l understand, that he can play as many as half dozen instruments. Evident ly those composing the band have a high appreciation of the service MT. Smith is rendering them in giving such regular instruction, for only recently they presented him with handsome slide trombone. with his name engraved thereon. I believe 1t would have been hard for any leader to have gathered together any better material for the making of good band than those who diversion.

Mayor Teague and the Mules. !.

Mayor Teague's message to the City Council recommending some action to abate the nuisance of driving scores of mules pell-mell through the streets of Montgomery was the subject Of much favcrs ole discussion yesterday.
 This is a case of hope long de- ferred'" said a minister. Tt has been gratifying to me to observe the re- lentless criticism The Advertiser has waged upon this nuisance and 1t has been surprising that the Aldermen waited until the matter was driven home to them by the Mayor. It seems that there Is a chance now to have something done and I hope the Mayor will not cease his efforts in this diree- tion.
 "It is well enough to foster all iu- dustries, but common sense Is opposed to caring for industries at the risk of human life. If these droves of mules are allowed to continue in our streets we will scme day record a terrible tragedy. The mule pens ought to be on the outskirts of the city and nearer the railroad yards like they are in other cities. await the action of the Council on this important matter with eager interest. |"
