AN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

Anniston, November 1.-(Special.)-T building record in Anniston this month fell somewhat behind the record of last month in the number of expensive resi- dences and bushes houses constructed but according to the monthly book of Building and Plumbing Inspector Har- mon, which has just been closed, Annis- tonians have continued faith in the stability of future values of real estate in the Model City
 During the month MT. Harmon issued 43 permits which includes licenses for the erection of 13 new buildings in the city, mostly in West Anniston and South Anniston, sections of the city which are building up with a remarkable rapidity. The permits comprehend an aggregate building cost of $10. 755. but it is nearly always the case that the exact cost ex- ceeds the estimated cost on which per- mits are issued. Several other buildings were started last month, but the permits for them have not been taken out and they will help to swell the list for No- Vember

Bankers Optimistic.

Local bankers have received telegrams from Comptroller of the Currency Ridgely asking that they take out addi- tional currency, but 1t is learned that none of them have acted upon the sug- gestion and when they were seen today 1t was stated that such action their part has not been deemed advisable and that they will not likely take further notice of the proposal.
 Further than to hold the meeting of the Clearing House association to limit the withdrawal of deposits for the mutual protection of the banks and their cus- toners there has been no concerted ac- ton on the part of local financiers Every bank president in the city looks upon the present situation with optimism, and President McKleroy of the Anniston Ma tional stated today that they will con tinue to lend money at per cent, while in view of the situation they might be justified in charging 100 per cent.

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

If the New Mexican had published
the Hagerman letter. then il would
be in position to argue h case. Be
ing a lawyer, the Colonel hould know
that the jury must first be given a
chance to hear the testimony of both
sides-and, further, that counsel is
not allowed to go outside the evidence
presented in making his argument as
to what the testimony tends to prove.
Publish both letters as a matter of
information to your readers, and then
argue the matter. Run a NEWSPA-
PER. instead of merely an organ for
the grafters. The people are capable
of drawing their own conclusions.
The Daily Record n the Morning
Journal did not hesitate about giving
the Roosevelt side as well as the Ha-
| german side of the correspondence.
1t was NEWS-BIG NEWS-written
and signed by a President of the
United States and the man whom he
had removed from the g~overnorsnip
of New Mexico-the most intensely
interesting and important news pub
lished in this Territory for many
months-home news, not foreign. The
Record stands ready to publish as
many more authentic letters from the
President n Mr.. Hagerman as it
can secure whether they make the
case appear WOTSe OF DeuUcI- LIE
most important function of a news
paper is to print the news, all the
news it can get, first, last and all the
time. The editorial page and the edi-
tors political opinions are only a side
issue, an afterthought. The Record
sold hundreds of extra papers on ac-
count of its enterprise in printing
those letters in full. and no doubt the
Journal sold thousands. Printing
news, selling papers,, advertising
space and job printing is our bust
ness. The Record is a newspaper
first of all. ant believes in printing
the facts and letting the people de
eide what they prove.

PROTECTION THAT
DOESN'T PROTECT.

The high protective tariff maintain
ed by the standpatters of the Repub.
lean party is as absurd as it is op
pressive, and it is so full of ~inconsis.
tencieS hat one car but wonder how
a set of mel ever managed to do SO
bungling a job as was done in framing
these laws.
The theory of the high tariff men is
to protect the home industries; yet
there are a great many foreign made
articles on which high duties are i'm
posed. which cannot be made in this
country. If the protective tariff is a
robbery, then an oppressive tariff
which does not protect, is doubly rep
rehensible.
An instance of this robbery is daily
seen in Ell Pas where large quantities
of Mexican drawn work passes thru
the customs house. Not a single yard
of this work is made for sale il the
United States, yet a duty of 60 per
cent of its value is imposed for the
privilege of bringing it into this coun-
try. This class of work which is par
ticularly popular among American la
dies and since Americans could not
compete with Mexican o in max
ing it, even if there was no duty at all
charged. there is not the slightest pre-
ext for taxing the ladies a sum almost
equal to the cost of the goods. BY do
ing this, o ladies are prevented
from gratifying their tastes as they
would do otherwise, and not a soul on
earth is benefited thereby.
There are numerous other instances
where the ridiculous inconsistency of
the tariff laws is illustrated to as great
an extent as in this. Surely it is high
time for tariff revision.-El Paso

TO ESTABLISH PURE FOOD
BUREAU IN THE WE

Denver Col.-Pure food and drug lab
oratorieS to employ upwOrd of 100
chemists and forty inspectors will be
established in Denver by the United
States department of agriculture be
fore July 1.
1t will make Denver the Rocky noun
tain headquarters for the chemistry
bureau department of agriculture at
Washington, which is under the direc-
tion of DIR. H. w. Wiley, one of the
most famous pure food experts in the
world. Pure o stations are already
established and in operation in New
York and Chicago. When the Denver
laboratories have been put into work
ing order the department OF agricul-
trHre will establish three similar sta
ions on the Pacific coast.
1t will be the special duty of those
in charge of the laboratories here,
when they are completed to guard
against the adulteration of foods,
meats and market products in this
section of the United States, n to
see that the common people get just
what they ask for when they go to
h markets and buy their groceries.
The 100 chemists will nave charge
of the laboratories and the inspection
of foodstuffs produced in the Rocky
mountain division of the United States
and the corps of forty inspectors will
operate from the Denver Office to see
that one of the big producers attempt
adulteration of foods in any form.
There will also, of course, be a chief
of the Denver office, who has not as
yet been named, and ne will be assist
ed by a large corps OF clerks.

sense an attack on the policies of re-
velt's honor to champion. On the con-
trary, the convention will be mainly
composed of men who have done yeo-
man service in forwarding those same
reform policies, and stand ready to
go as much farther in the same road
as shall be necessary. The onven
ton is a meeting of Western men,
meeting to discuss a question which
has a peculiar and vital interest for
the West. the sentiment of this sec
ton is overwhelmingly against the
public land policy to which the presi-
dent has cen fit to commit himself.
That sentiment has a right to expires
sion. The West wants a public land
policy which will eventuate in the set
Element of our vacant land. Our in
terests are deeply concerned in this,
and we believe it, as well, to be the
best policy for the nation. We pro
pos to say So, and to work for the
measures which we believe the coun-
try needs, That this should offend the
Washington bureaucrats, who think
the world is saved by red tape, is ma
tural and proper. but it is not easy to
see why Mr.. Roosevelt should AXE Of
tense.
Nor is there any better ground for
the argument which tries to show that
the presence of Senator Teller, as
chairman of the program committee,
proves that the convention is in the
hands of the presidents enemies. Sen
ator Teller is the most distinguished
public man il the West. He is the
senior senator, not only of Colorado,
hrnf Of tho nntI~n rnniNn rrnct nf tho
Missouri river. He has been honored
by three great political parties. He
has been secretary of the interior. He
has at his command a fund of ilfor-
nation on the land question which few
if any, can equal. To pas him by in
sucn a gathering would be to inf1ict
a slight on a faithful public servan
And, finally PRESIDENT ROOSE-
WELT OWES 1T TO THE WEST TO
RESPECT ITS MOTIVES AND TO
REPOSE IMPLICIT CONFIDENCE
IN IT'S GOOD FAITH. 1t is in this
section that he has his warmest and
oldest friends-the friends who have
stood by him steadily, who have done
all that in them hay to make his adj
ADMINISTRATION a success, who are al
ready to follow the same Dad as far
as need be to insure equal rights for
all the people, and to curb the raids
of predatory wealth. Even when Pre-
sident Roosevelt has been most anti
Western in his policy the West has
never taken personal offense. When
he tried to destroy the sugar industry
and wnen he tool the side of the Jap
coolies against his own country
men, the Vest opposed him, but it
did so in the OPEN, and never accused
him of anything worse than an error
of Judgment. He owes us the same
courtesy now. We Know what we
want, and we are going to get it if we
can. And we say that-say it openly,
and with no mental reservations. We
are opposed to so much of the Presi-
dents policy as we believe to be OPP
posed to the interests of the West,
and to no more. 1t is both foolish and
uncandid to accuse us of hostile senti-
mentS which we no only have not
expressed, but which our whole mis-
tory proves We do not possess.

THE PRESIDENT I'M ERROR.

From the Denver News
President Roosevelt has taken a pc
culiar and unfortunate stand on the
public land convention to be held here
this month. He knows that it will be
composed of men who, for the most
part, object to his public land policy,
and he has chosen to regard this as
an attack on the policy of the admins
tration in general. Reports are going
forth from the White House and be-
ing given prominence in the Eastern
papers that the convention is fixed"
That it is part of a scheme of the pre-
sidents enemies to undo his work;
that its hostility is proven by h Sc
lection OF Senator Teller as chairman
of the program committee, and that
all friends of the president must now
choose between the convention and
the administration.
Now, the News is pretty well &C
quainted with the status Of this public
land convention, and with the men
who viii compose DIT, and we go on
record as saying that 1T has no solita-
ry part OF b sinister meaning which
the president and his friends are as
cribing TO it.
