Greater Birminoham

Mayor Ward has invited the mayors and engineers of the municipalities that are to become parts of Greater Birmingham on October 1, 1909, to meet him at the city hall in this city at 2.3O D. m. of next Tuesday. Much preliminary work in relation to san itation, engineering, assessment laws, franchises, longtime contracts and the like is to be done and there is none too much time left in which to do 1t.
 There should be full meeting on Tuesday, and if there is important plans will be formed and the way paved for the organization of Greater Birmingham in October of next year. Every part of the forthcoming city should be represented at the meeting, and it is hoped that every representa- tive will come bearing helpful sugges- tions and a spirit that looks to organic union and a city that all will be proud of.

LIFE INSURANCE
 COMPANY BARRED

Jackson, Miss, March 3.-(Special.)- State Insurance Commissioner Henry has barred the Great Western Life In surance company of Kansas City from doing further business in Mississippi, writing a letter to that effect to M. E. Avitt, general agent, at Gulfport.
 Commissioner Henry says among other things that the Great Western has already issued and maintains In this state a large amount of insurance that has been condemned as unlaw wfu! discriminatory and in violation of the insurance laws of the state, by the supreme court of Mississippi, and lo permit 1t to continue would be the consummation of an unlawful under taking. He cites the reports of the attorney general and the superintend- ent of insurance of Missouri that the certificates issued by this company impose heavy financial responslbili- ties on the company, not warranted by the charter of the company or by the laws of the state of Missouri" and that because of the report of the superin- tendent of insurance of the state OF Missouri, and of the attorney general of that state, the methods and schemes of insurance prosecuted by the Great Western Life are in violation of law, and inherently unsound and reprehen- sible."
 For these and other reasons Commis- sioner Henry says: "I am constrained to deny the application of the com pany asking to be relicensed to do bus mess in Mississippi"

sunpressIOn of Commander Sims

When Commander Sims, naval aide +o President Roosevelt. came before the Senate committee on naval affairs, he had much to tell, but the committee began at the outset to suppress what he had to say. and it did succeed to an extent that impelled the witness to remark that he had said on the stand hardly anything of what he wanted to say"
 He did succeed, however, in saying enough to sustain MT. Reuterdahfs charges. The main armor belt on all our battleships, he said, is too low, and the turrets with their direct hoists point to explosions similar to the one that occurred in the handling room Of the Georgia Fire drops directly from the guns to the handling room adjoin- ing the magazines.
 Nor did Commander Sims eonine his evidence to construction subjects. He characterized the shooting of our eunners at Santiago "as the most dis graceful exhibition of gunnery that e--er took place on the face of the globe If the Spaniards had not been, in woeful condition they would, he said, have easily escaped.
 But why was not Commander Sims permitted to- tell all he knew? Why should any facts pertaining to the peo- ple's business be kept from the people even if some naval officers are offended bv it? Which is the bigger the people or their naval officers? The Senate naval committee has made one thing plain-it does not want the whole truth. It wants a limited range of facts only. The people, on the other hand. want all known and available facts, and the Senate committee made a mistake when they attempted to suppress Commander Sims evidence. Some way should be devised in one house or the other to draw out all that Commander Sims has up his sleeves.

Mistaken For cleraYman.

T notice that Bernardo Colosia has re- turned to his old calling, the restaurant business" said a former resident ef Selma.
 In the days of reconstruction Bernardo was employed by his uncle, the late M. Montiabarro, who conducted place noted for It's cuisine. It was the rendezvous Of many prominent public men in the days of the famous Old Fourth. composed of the counties of Hale, Perry, Wilcox, Dal- las and Lowndes. In it's dining rooms, or under the sheltering shade of it's null berry trees, much of the planning for re- deeming the black belt from negro rule was done.
 sBernardo had been over from Spain only a short while, and was in charge of the establishment one day, when in there walked dignihed, clerical looking person, with clean shaven face, attlred in long tailed coat. When he essayed to take a seat in the main dining room the very polite and reverent Bernardo ushered him into the private dining apartment. Liquid refreshments having been ordered, along with the substantials, the thoughtful man. ager ever mindful of the respect and COIL fidence shown the clergy, sent tray with ice and the decanter containing the very best
 After the patron had refreshed himself both in body and spirits he approached the gracious Bernardo to pay the bill, pulling out one of those long, black leather wallets in use in those days, which contained divisions for different bills-s1, s2 to s2o. Bernardo wondered at it's well filled condition, as his patron withdrew good size note and asked for the check.
 " Father said Bernardo in Hispaniola or American accent, it is our custom to serve the priest without charge. We will be very proud to serve your reverence any time
 Then it was that the late Judge Thom- as Roulhac discovered that the young Spanlard had taken him for a priest. He replaced the money with his well known Chesterfield courtesy of manner, with a pleasant smile thanking his host Later he returned with two or three friends, and finding Montiabarro himself in, and Bernardo close at hand. he proceeded to recount his good fortune earlier in the day"

Beoinninu of Lent.

Today is Ash Wednesday and is the beginning of Lent. In Latin it is styled Dies Cinerum-literally, day of ashes called Ash-Wednesday because in ancient times it was the custom of penitents to appear at church covered with sackcloth and ashes. According to present Catholic practice the priest blesses ashes on the altar and distributes them to the faith ful who attend service. The ashes are obtained by burning palms that had been blessed and used on the last Palm Sum day.
 In the Anglican prayer book the 'com- imitation" service Is used on Ash-Wed- nesday as a provisional substitute for the "Godly discipline" to which offenders in the olden time had been subjected on this day. Portions of this service were in- corporated into the Ash-Wednesday of- flee in the American book of common prayer in 17S9; and "a penitential office for Ash Wednesday" has been append ed to the special prayers and thanks giving in the Standard of 1892.

In No. vember they can be trusted to see which party stands for the many, which for the few, which for the classes, which for the masses, and a landslide in doubtful states like Illi- nois, Indiana Ohio and New York will not surprise any close student of the situation.

In Twenty Years

.'The delusions," says the St. Louis Globe Democrat, which beset Rip Van Wrinkle in the physical world on his return to his old haunts were mild compared with the mistaken identities in the political world which would hit the person who should awake from a 20 years sleep in these times. A man who should attempt to enter either the democratic or the republican, camp in 1908 with the countersigns of 1888 would be haled before the officer of the guard as a suspicious character" i"
 This is very true. The transforma- tion has been remarkable. But there is a widespread feeling that a change in the outward appearance of the republican party is deceptive-that it is but the outer cover for campaign purposes of inward reactionary pur- poses. The same old guard represent ing one special interest or another is on duty in the Senate-the same Aid rich, Allison, Hale, Elkins and Foraker sit there dominating all legislation. The same tariff stands unrevisel ], and it is reactionary on eysry schedule and almost in every line. NThe same old magnates and trusts stand resAly to

TAKING TESTIMONY
 IN WILFLEY CASE

Washington, March s.-The taking of testimony. preliminary to a determina- tion by the House judiciary committee of the question of whether or not im- peachment proceedings should be insti- tuted against Judge L. R. Wilf1ey of the United States court for China, pursuant to a resolution inquiry introduced by Representa- tive Waldo of New York, was concluded today by the subcommittee having the matter in charge. Todays session was consumed in a further and final cross examination of Lorin s. An drews, the American attorney, who with other lawyers brought charges against Judge Wilfiey of misbehavior in office. Judge Wilfey himself conducted the cross-examination today and clashes be- tween him and MT. Andrews were fre- quent.
 The subject matter mainly considered was the refusal of Judge Wilhey to allow Mir. Andrews and other American lawyers in Shanghai to practice before hls court, and the names of Secretaries Taft and Root and Solicitor General Scott were brought into the controversy.
 MT. Andrews claimed that he was given bv officials here to understand upon the occasion of his visit here last year that if he would return to Shanghai 1t would be arranged that Judge Wilney snoulo permit him to practice before the United States court for China on the strength of his admission to the highest federal courts of the United States. This Juoge Wilfey disputed and spirited argument between the two occurred.
 Oral arguments will be heard by the subcommittee next Friday, Representa- tive Waldo speaking for Andrews anu Judge Wilfiey for himself.

How Rumors Spread.

"It is interesting to note how rumors spread, said a newspaper worker. Some one the other day thought it would be a good joke on my friend Blackman the cartoonist, to start the report that he had the smallpox. Since that time I happen to know that Blackman has been deluged with letters inquirlng after his health and the telephones at both his home and studio have been kept busy with inquiries as to when he will be out and how he is getting along. This may be a good joke, but my sense of humor fails to respond"

convicts and County Roads

Tn advocating any cause affecting the people The Age-Herald invites full dis cussion and is always ready to present the views of those who oppose it's pol icy. This paper has insisted and still ipists that the Board of Revenue sholAd give the plan of using conVlets on the county roads trial for at least one year. But the present board takes a different view of the matter. Hugh .acGeeyer. one of the most valued members and, in point of service, one of the oldest, discussed the roads ques- tion at length, and in his usual good temper, in yesterdays issue. His pre- sentation of the Board of Revenue s side. especially in regard to the use or convicts. was able and interesting; and The Age-Herald was glad of the oppor- tunity of printing what MT. McGeever had to say.
 A clause in the contract entered into between the board and the employing corporation reserves the right of the county to withdraw mot less than 25 nor more than 50 able-bodied convicts' to be used on the roads. The board should avail itself of this right and give the experiment under considera- ton a thorough trial. The Age-Herald is not an expert in road building, but 1t sees, just as every citizen sees, that the county highways are in poor condi- ton. Jefferson county should have and must have a system of model roads.
 Many years ago The Age-Herald be- gan calling attention to our bad roads and it will keep up the agitation until results are satisfactory. A number of thoughtful and practical men who have expressed themselves on the subject of building roads with convict labor have indorsed heartily The Age-Her- aids contention. All that is demanded is a years experiment. The Board of Revenue keeps a detailed account of all it's expenditures and at the end Of a year a report could be made showing whether or not the experiment was successful from an economic view point The public is looking for re- suits. This, in fact, Is its chief con- cern. Under the convict plan results could not be less satisfactory than they have been with the employment of free labor. It is believed that the proposed change would not only give us better roads, but the use of convicts would meet our conditions in way that would be highly approved by all.
 Therefore. The Age-Herald renews it's suggestion to the voters to cast their ballots at the approaching pri- mary only for such candidates for the Board of Revenue as are committed to the convict experiment; committed to the experiment of withdrawing from 25 to 50 convicts from corporation employment, which the board can do without violating it's contract, and put 1 them to work on the roads.

 The Register is of the opinion that if any democrat in this state deserves to be sent to Denver as a delegate at large it is John w. Tomlinson of Birmingham. Through thick and thin he has been 0 faithful party man, has been devoted to Mr. Bryan and has been active in the support of the party ticket; and it may be said, further, that MT Tomlinson is 8 man who will do credit in Denver to the Alabama democracy that sends him.
