municipal campaign In November, 1906. On
the heels Of his triumph over the Oregon
land thieves he was asked to speak at the
final rally OF the fusion party that had
united the republican and democratic Or
CARNATIONS for the defeat OF Schimtz, and
carried away by the intoxication OF his
own eloquence, he told the big meeting
that he knew OF his own knowledge that
Ruef was a CRATER and that before a
year was up the people OF San Francisco
would call upon him TO come back and put
Ruef In san Quentin.
Subsequently he was sorry he spoke, for
the then sitting grand jury asked him for
his proofs, and he had nothing better to
produce than the certainty OF moral con-
viction held in common with several thou
sand OF his fellow citizens. A few days
later Schmitz was reelected by an ex-
traOrdinaTy majority. Ruef was triumph
ant, and Heney was left 10 occupy the un-
grateful role Of the person known in
sporting circles as the "four-husher." The
spirit Of Heney ranked under the injury

earth--a grand total of 100000 of them,

superv,sIon of schools.

A far-reaching educational bill was presented in the House yesterday by Representative Alto Lee of Etowah. The bill is a step towards expert su- pervisIon of the common schools of the State.
 Such a reform has been urged for some time by the men who have led in the recent educational reform which has become so widespread in Alabama. The bill would move the place of coun- ty superint. ndent of education out Of county politics and fix standard of supervision that will be uniform throughout the State.
 The bill, for one thing, provides that every county superintendent of educa- tion shall be the holder of a first grade license to teach in the Alabama schools. The bill provides, further, the entire time of the county superintendent shall be devoted to the supervision of the schools of the county.
 The machinery of the bill makes an other amendment in the present school law, It provides the county boards of education shall consist of five members instead of four. The new boards are to be elected the second Saturday in Au- gust.
 Under the new bill. the county su- perintendents are to be selected by the members of the county boards or education, and not appointed by the Governor or named in an election, Tn" House Committee on Education has tho bills.
