clare that this is not an issue for man to ride into office upon, but one that should appeal to the patriotism and the pride of every Alabamian.
 "I believe that it Is by far the most important problem before us today. I am in favor of the regulation of the corpor- ations and I had a hand in making cer- tain laws to that end, whether they be good or bad, but I believe that the build ing of good roads will rebound to more good to the most people than all of the laws to regulate corporations put to- gether."
 Text of Resolutions.
 The following resolutions were adopted
 "Wher eas, The Alabama Good Roads association is anxious to have cam paign committee of education that the en- tire citizenship of Alabama can be edu- cated to the economic and social benefits of good roads. It IS necessary in order to better carry out the intent of the proposed Overton amendment to the con- stitution to provide funds to pay for postage, printing and the expense of the committee.
 "Whereas, We believe that no problem will save the people as much money or advance their social and commercial happiness as much as good roads. No taxation Is as burdensome as the pres ent system of bad roads, such as is in vogue in our state
 Therefore, be 1t resolved, That the commercial and industrial organizations and the citizenship of Alabama Is re- quested to make such contributions as will enable the Good Roads association to carry on its work of education, so that every county in the state can be furn- ished with literature and speakers to ad- vocate the cause for better highways"
 whereas, by the death of MT. B. F, Roden, president of the Alabama Good Roads association. we have lost an active member, who always manifested deer interest in the upbuildng of better high ways. He was foremost in all enterprises that benefited his beloved state. We ex- tend our heartfelt sympathy to his be- reaved family"

VAMPIRE WITHIN HIS RIGHT.
Law Cannot Deport or Tax Filipino
Bat

All Secretary Wilson's rulings and all
Secretary Wilson's men cannot drive that
Filipino vampire away from the Palais
Royal as long as the proprietors of said
department store wish him to stay there.
Secretary Wilson's bureau of animal in
dustry took shot at the bat and the
bats owner yesterday, but missed fire.
They thought they had law which would
cause the deportation of the bat, but
the bat had beaten them to it,
The law in question is not more than a
couple o. years old. The bat came to
America and took out naturalization pa
pers Sven years ago. Therefore he ante
dates the law and can laugh at it. For
law does not work backward
Some time ago the demonstrating agent
of certain preparation took space in
the Palais Royal to advertise his wares.
With him came a large bat in d bird
cage. The bat is used as an advertise
ment because the preparation he goes
with is made from the bark of a tree
inhabited by Filipino vampires. UnCov-
ering the cage and setting. out his wares,
the salesman opened up spiel

have had him seven years. In all that
time the only part OF him that has touch
ed the floor OF his cage is the top OF his
head
HE eats hanging upside down and
sleeps the same way. From tip 10 tip,
his wings measure three Ieet.
All this time the bat is swinging to and
fro After awhile lie gets tired OF being
looked at Then he folds his black wings
around him, covering his face. and goes

In that posture lie reminds one of the
late Henry Irving when he folded ms

1t was the publicity given the bat that
aroused the suspicious OF the authorities
Of the Department of Agriculture. Or
ders were recently issued by that depart
ment forbidding importation OF any AMI
NAL from the Philippine Islands, as pre-
vcntivc against the spread OF animal as
ease.
Another ruling, under the law governing
animal industry, provides for tax on
all imported animals from foreign coun-
tries that do not come under limited eX-
empt classes. Bats are not exempt.
Whereupon Sieutn from tiie pui eau u
animal industry beat it up to the Palais
ROYAL in search Of the bat. Tie mad
visions of arresting the bat and its owner
or collecting d tax.
A minutes conversation convinced the
sleuth, however. that the bat was not
only harmless and free from disease. but
also that the bat had come to America
long before the passage OF the law when
now prevents the Importation of his kind
from the Philippines.
