Whittier Are We Drifting?

College graduates, with only
an A. B., or b. S., tackled to their
names, seem to be about the
cheapest things going in New
York city. A publisher doing
business there is quoted as saying
that the easiest kind of help to
obtain at $40 a week is the
recent college graduate. A lead
ing lawyer OF New York goes
even further by declaring: at
is appalling to find the number
of college graduates of long
standing who are today filling
clerical positions at $40 or $12
per week. For many years it
has been possible in New York
city TO employ at from $40 to $12
per week large numbers of law
ers of over ten years standing
who were graduates of both
college and law school,"

Bad Leaders.

Cutting loose from a safe
anchorage, with minds distorted
by monstrous ambition, dis
carding and repudiating the
declarations of their party and
forgetting it's wonderful achieve
ments under this wise national
policy, there are today republic
can leaders who would destroy
the great work of Mckinley and
Dingley, and listening to the
clamor of the men who plunged
this nation into an era of calam-
ity and depression in 1898, would
undo the work of republican
statesmen and try again policy
of free-trade, which has at every
trial hitherto driven prosperity
from the United States.
We care not who these men
may be nor what great things
they may have done, whenever
the republican party follows
their advice and elects them to
power on such a platform, 1,
writes its own epitaph; repudi'
ates its greatest living principle
destroys the foundation upor
which it has built the grandest
political organization the world
has ever known; undoes the work
of half a century of efficient pc
litical labor and starts the nation
down the declivity of depression,
stagnation and disaster, tc
plunge into the mire of free-trade
and democracy, which will speed
lily obliterate every vestige of the
prosperity we now enjoy, bring
ing the country back again tc
dark days, similar 10 thos'
through which it passed at thu
close of the Buchanan and Cleve
land administrations.

More Hail Storms Coming.

Reports are to the effect that
the west will be visited by more
than the usual number of storms
this season. The entire United
States had severe and extended
winter and we are promised un-
usual weather for the remainder
of the year. This prophecy has
been fulfilled so far, as we have
had tornado and several hail
hail storms right here in Custer
county. Tornado insurance is
not high and hail insurance is
lower than ever before and the
only safe plan for the farmer is
to insure his growing crop
against destruction by the ele-
mentS,

The 4th Fur nished Employment.

Parents in various parts of the

a couple of days after the 4th

children which had been very
much scattered by the explosions

Was one of the brilliant lights of the
American Navy. No future history of
naval warfare will be written that does
not devote space to Capt. Hobson. When
it was known at Santiago that Cervera's
fleet was in the harbor, the late Rear
Admiral Sampson conceived the idea of
effectually sealing it up and thus prevent
any possibility of escape. Volunteers
were called for and the first to respond
was Hobson. His capture, imprison-
ment aud subsequent liberation are too
we'll known to need recounting. No
finer orator is on the platform. His
language is beautiful and his effect upon
an audience is electrical

BANK CASE TAXES
 BOARDS FULL TIME
OF $42,ooo MADE IN ASSESSMENT OF BIRMINGHAM TRUST AND SAVINGS CO.-ONLY THREE CASES TO BE HEARD.

The h caring of the Birmingham Trust and Savings company tax case took up the entire day yesterday with the Board of Revenue. The result of the hearing of this case was the reduce tion of s4200 in the assessment, which was necessary in order to make the valuation in line with the valuation set upon the stock of the First National bank last week. The value or the stock Is S152 per share as set by the board, which is the value shown by the bank books. The First National stock was set at s152 and the value of the Birmingham Trust stock was re- duced to $152 to meet this figure.
 The capital stock of the bank Is s5oO,- 900. and the former assessment was S5O600O. The board reduced this to s464.0OO. This assessment according to the ruling of the state tax commis- slon must be GO per cent of the real cash value of the property, which makes the total value $7500O0. The figure set by Back Tax Commissioner Thompson was s1.125.000 MT. Tn omp- son states his belief is that the stock of the Birmingham Trust and Savings company, as well as that of the First National bank, Is worth considerably more than $210; in fact that the real value Is at least $500 per share.
 Both of these cases will be appealed to the state tax commission by MT. Thompson.
 Of the 300 and odd cases but three are left which will be pasesd upon by the board next Thursday. These three cases are the Jefferson County Savings bank, the American Trust and Savings bank and the Southern Steel company. The case of the Southern Steel company will In all probability be settled by agreement but the two bank cases will no doubt be classed as the other two banks. Should the state tax commis- sion decide to set aside the decision of the Board of Revenue and hear the cases Itself the fight will undoubtedly be a warm one.
 The adjournment of the board from Monday until Thursday was taken In order that the dockets might be checked and the errors corrected at that time

FOUNTAIN STILL DRY.
Capitol Park Residents Want to See
 Water In Action.

The residents in the vicinity of Capitol Park as well as those who seek the park for a place in which to secure a breath of fresh air. are still kicking on account of the dry fountain in the park, and will probably petition the Board of Aldermen at the next meeting to Know just why the water has been cut off from this fountain. The fountain is a very pretty one while in action, but in the opinion of the peo- pie in that neighborhood it looks like the last tombstone of misery in It's dry state.
 This fountain gurgled and splashed for quite a while, but suddenly and without warning the cool stream of water ceased coming out of the pipe Efforts to find the cause of the cutting off are said to have proven futile. Surprise is expressed that a thing so small and yet which makes so great a change in the park should be allowed to occur.

SESSIONS ID LEAD
 FIGHT ON SALOONS
Committee of Ten Picked for
 Jefferson County Work
OLD BODY IS DISBANDED
Campaign Manager Will Probably Be Selected and Mass Meeting Is Planned for First Week
 In September.

The prohibition committee which will have complete charge of the fight now opening against the liquor traffic was announced yesterday. R. F. Sessions, a well known insurance man, state repre- sentative of the Prudential company, ,s the chairman, an avowed prohibitionist, and man who numbers hundreds of friends in the county. He will be the leading spirit in the campaign, will pre- side at mass meetings and do all in his power for the cause.
 R. F. Lovelady is the vice chairman. MT. Lovelady, a physician and druggist of Pratt City, a member of the legisla- ture, and an enthusiastic fighter for local option needs no introduction to the voters who elected him.
 F. M Jackson, a Birmingham capitalist and coal operator. will act as secretary and treasurer. The other members of the committee are R. M. Goodall, member of the firm of Goodall, Brown & Co,, pr. R. V. Mobley, prominent physician, and former member of the police commission, J. ". Minor of Ensley, banker and cap italist, president of the Baptist Lay mons missionary movement; T. M. Da- vidson, a well known banker and capital ist of Warrior; W. M. Cosby. wholesale grocer, T. H. Friel, former mayor of North Birmingham and well known attorney, and Escar Floyd, a Birming- ham attorney.
 These are ten strong and influential men, all of whom have accepted the ap pointment, and pledge themselves to steady and earnest work. They were appointed by the commission on organ ization of the Pastors unlon which held It's last meeting yesterday afternoon, and having completed its work, dlsbanded.
 This leaves all the responsibility and the direction of the campaign to the new committee. MT Sessions is now out of town and 1t cannot be determined when the first meeting will be held. How ever, pr. Lovelady will communicate with him, and 1t will probably be within the next week.
 The committee may call mass meet ing for some night in the first week in September, and will more than likely em- ploy campaign manager to give all his time and energy to the work. Sub committees will be scattered all over the county for duty in distributing petitions and campaigning. The fight will be car ried on in a business like fashion, and nothing will be left undone.
 The outlook Is particularly bright, ac- cording to those around prohibition head quarters Letters are coming in from all parts of the county from men who offer their time and money to the cause. Prom inent men meet at headquarters for con sultaton at various hours of the day.
 The subject Is already becoming the feature of conversation. In fact, no body of men ever gets together without broach- ing It. The pros and cons are throughly thrashed out and opinions aired on every corner. in the restaurants. and at fam fly gatherings The campaign Is launched, and it looks as though no effort. no mat ter how strenuous, will keep it off.

 However, 1t is certain that the meeting tomorrow night will be one of tho warm est in months. Regulation ordinances and resolutions will be introduced. galore. but no side oan make a move without tho other blocking it.
 The administration party will do ita best to pass the s2500 or 0s2Oo0 license sched- ule. and the ordinance taking whisky out of the red light district They grant that this Is the last chance to head off the prohibition fight and think even that Is very slim.
 These aldermen who have supported ths saloon men from the beginning still stand to their positions. and give not an inch of ground. Tho prohihitionists, of whicp there are several on the board, including John L. Parker, and George Estes, are split up on the regulation question.
 A certain alderman Is considering the question of Introducing a resolution call ing for the adoption of an ordinance which shall cut the number of saloons 10 which license may be Issued after Jan uary 1 to forty. with no boundaries so far as location Is concerned, that question being left to the discretion of com mlttee of ono alderman from each ward where saloons are now located.
 The resolution also increases the license to si0O0 and limits the priviledges to do business to the conditions that no res- taurants be connected with saloons. and that no tables, chairs or benches be al- lowed in tho saloon any adjoining room. The author of the resolution has not decided positively to introduce it. but says he wants the whole passed ori none. He does not want 1t out up

coURsoN BEFORE THE COURT.
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Passed to
 August 27.

The habeas corpus proceedings in the case of Harvey Courson, white man, set down for hearing before Judge Weav- CT yesterday afternoon, was passed to August 27. The petitioner Is confined in the county jail charged with the murder of Hyde D. McAllster about nineteen years ago. The defendant has been in Mexico and was recently arrested in Texas and brought to Birmingham to an- swer the charge against him.
 When the case was called yesterday So- licitor Hehin announced that the state was not ready owing to the absence of an eye witness to the killing, the son of the dead man, who is at present in Texas. He asked that the case be passed and also stated that the case was set for trial in the criminal court on September IT, Captain Frank s. White represented the petitioner and made strong argument in favor of hearing the case now as the witness upon whom the state relied was outside the jurisdiction of the court. Judge Weaver passed the case to August 27.
