found on page 1. Considering
the length of time this bank has
been in business, it makes a very
creditable showing and is destin-
ed to be one of the sound finan-
cial institutions of the west as
the years goby.
At recent meeting of the di-
rectors of the Collyer State bank
they declared and paid the stock
holders 10 per cent dividend
and left a good balance to profit
and surplus account. This is
surely handsome showing for a
new bank and the stockholders
can congratulate themselves.

DISCRI NInATI0a
 MUST BE STOPPED

Washington, March 14-Among the sev ;. eral cases decided today by the interstate commerce commission were two of gen. eral interest and importance The first was chat of Henry Ruttle ct al against the Pore Marquette railroad. with re- spect 10 the use of private cars
 The commission held that the defend ants course in stopping it's own cars, as well as the cars in it's control of con- neeting carriers at junction points. there To be loaded with hay from the private ears. instead of sending them up the line b the loading points where all the ship pers might share in their distribution, Was an unlawful discrimination against independent dealers
 The commission decided in the case of the Chickasaw Compress company against the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fee rail road and others, and of the Paul's Valley tOldahoma) Compress and Storage com pany against the same defendant that the discrimination complained of is not un- due. The compliments, owning cotton congresses at Ardmore and Paurs Valley, have asked the commission to require de- fendants to have all cotton compressed by the compress nearest the point of origin.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
 At the approaching primary election shall ask the good people of this county to elect me to place on the Board Of Revenue, and inasmueh as the question of working the convicts on the public roads of the county has been very much agitated I deem 1t right that I should state what I think shculd be done in the premises.
 am in favor of all the repair wor'S on the roads already constructed being done by free labor Let the roads be di- vided into eight or 10-inile sections, and each section given to q reliable man, and he be held responsible for it's main Romance. The reason I suggest this IS because of the small number of men re- quired to do repair work on each see ton. which would require the same guard service as it would if more men were employed This as far it goes, s about the Ramsay plan All construc- ton of new roads should be done by the county convicts This will of course, re- move them from competition with free labor.
 This plan could be given fair trial for. say about 12 months. If not found to the best interests of the county at the end of that time then go back to the present mana cement of the convicts, or some other way that may be found better. My efforts will be to do that which is to the best interests of Jefferson county.

JEWS ARE EXPELLED.

St. Petersburg, March (Special) It is officially announced that four fifths of the Jewish residents of Vladi- vostok have been expelled from the city and that all those remaining are to leave before the first of April.

By the middle of April all the Jews will be expelled also from Kronstadt and Sevastopol. Further measures are be- ing considered against Kieff Jews, at tributed to the influence of the Odessa prefect general, Tolmatchetf, who has become the Czar's chief adviser In the Jewish question.

LETTERS TO THE DITOR.
South Carolina Dispensary Decisions

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 l note in your editorial column of this date an article criticising Judge Pritchard of the federal bench for his action in tn, South Carolina dispensary case. in which you say that the issue presented is per- haps the boldest that the assailants os state rights have ever devised, and the sooner 1t is carried to the supreme oonrt tse sooner we will know where we are at"
 would state thet this sayssti1 esarosina dispensary business has been before sGS supreme court of the United States in diff terent shapes and at different times In Vance vs Nandercook, ITO |. s. 49S, it was held that the state of South Carolina had the right to control the sale of whisky by the dispensary system. So, too, in the case Of the state of South Carolina ys the Ohted States, T. D. 759, it was held that the United States government had the right to collect special taxes as whole sale and retail liquor dealers Gas the case might bel from these dispensarles. In this case the supreme court of the I1ni sted States held that the exemption of state agencies and instrumentalities from national taxation is limited to those NAASit dlt StIlCllN or governmental character and does not extend to those which are used by the state in the car rying on of an ordinary private business. In this opinion it is conceded that the states have the right to administer their own affairs, through their legislative, ex- eeutive and judicial departments, in their own manner, through their own agencies That this is the uniform decision of the supreme court and the practice of the federal government since it's organization.
 As the court holds that state sovereign ty does not apply to those agencies or instrumentalities which are used by the state in the carrying on of an ordinary private business, I do not see where the decision of Judge Pritchard in the South Carolina case recently rendered in any way Is violative of the decision of the supreme court of the United States heretofore referred to. or in any manner assails state sovereignty. This decision was concurred in by all the judges ex- cept MT. Justice White Respectfully. J. W. PAYNE

church. That those which were so placed were rather clumsy, may be inferred from the fact that the one used in Win chester cathedral in the tenth century had 26 pairs of bellows and it required 70 men to supply the wind. It took about three pounds of pressure to move a key in those days. In the 14th century some genius happened to think of smaller key to be operated by the finger, which would allow more than the single oc- tave on the keyboard, and at the same time he devised a finger touch. In the times before that, it was popular to. speak of an organist having played with a delicate fist

Clarence Johnson and his prin- cipal duty is taking the blame for exec utive session leaks. He never gets into trouble because the senators are always happy to blame leaks on any one but themselves who are of course above the suspicion of giving out the accurate ac- counts of what transpired behind closed doors. The executive clerks office in the capitol resembles the paying tellers box of a big banking institution. It is grated in so tightly that even secret can't escape After an executive session MT. Johnson repairs there in great mystery and examines the seal of secrecy.

ROOSEVELT IS BOORISH
 TOWARD PARTY OF GIRLS

Washington, December 17.-How Presi- dent Roosevelt severely rebuked a party of girls from the National Park seminary at Forest Glen, Md. for riding past him Thanksgiving Day in Rock Creek park. and how he, caused the iiorse one 9f the girls was riding to rear and junjo by striking it with his riding whip is tT7s in a story which has just leaked out and been confirmed today by Miss E, I. Sis soh, teacher in the school, who was the chaperon for the party.
 Miss Ssson and three of the girls of the institution, whose names are withheld. went for horseback ride through Rock Creek park the other morning, As they were jogging along one of the tree-lned roads of the national reserve they saw a party ahead of them which included two ladies and two men. As they closed up the gap between the two parties Miss Sisson says she recognized one of the mn as President Roosevelt
 For some time the se.l'irary party rode slowly behind the chief executive and his party. But the spirited animals wanted to go faster, declares Miss Sisson and finally the girls galloped past the presidential party.
 When they slowed their horses down again few minutes later they heard rapid hoofbeats behind them. The rider
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-12-18

was pressing his horse hard and he soon overlook them.
 "As we were riding four abreast at the time the Presidents horse crowded us no little as he dashed past said Miss sisson. continuing the narrative "As he brushed past his horse struck the foot of one of the young ladies, knocking it from the stirrup, and a blow from the floSicent's crop fell on the horses flank. The young womans horse reared and but for her coolness and admirable horse manship she might have been thrown be- heath the feet of the horses I do not know whether the blow was intentional. !.
 You know that you should not go ahead of our party, said the President as he rode past Us and turned in the saddle to look us squarely in the face He then joined his companions.
 ''The President appeared to be in rage but, of course, l do not know about that. I only know how we felt about it.
 T prefer not to give the names of the young ladies in the party They are daughters of wealthy parents, highly con nected, and I am sure their parents would object to the notoriety attending such an affair."
 The story was told about the seminary later, and has been heard by many so- ciety people in Washington.
 When Secretary Loebs attention was called to the ride tonight he said: We have so many reports to deny that we have decided to ignore them in the fu- ture."
