every cent the state has, or can get, in order to enforce the prohibition and rail- road laws, regardless of public opinion l I quote from a newspaper statement, and I presume before this called extra session of the legislature shall have ended his game bag will be full of rhinos, hip popottami, lions and white elephants.
 The kill will be as great as the slaughter of the real Roosevelt.
 A
 And, by the way, the story is interesting as announced apparently officially in one of his pet New York newspapers Thurs day.
 The story comes by cable from Naivasna British East Africa, and first tells of his killing a she hippopotamus which he desired greatly to add to his collection Listen to the story:
 Tn boat rowed by only two natives the Colonel set out on Lake Naivasha at a. m. What seemed to be 13 hippos surrounded the frail craft when it was some distance from shore and attacked 1t, some diving and trying to upset 1t by rising directly under 1t.
 "The natives were badly scared, but they say Colonel Roosevelt was perfectly cool and, picking out the finest COW and the biggest bull, killed them in quick sue cession.
 Terrified by the shots the Il other hippos swan away.
 "Colonel Roosevelt, who is as modestly silent about the adventure as is his cus- tom, arrived at the camp at a. m. to- day, towing home the dead hippos with a launch that was sent out in search of the rowboat."
 Then the story proceeds to tell of slaughter galore like unto that which Is contemplated for the people of Alabama who get into the path of the huntsman and his cohorts and rife carriers-the huntsman who would slay for an exhibi- tion in the government preserves of Washington, as is Colonel Roosevelt.
 Here's the story:
 Tt is very difficult to tell accurately how many beasts, birds and reptiles have fallen before the rifles of Colonel Roosevelt, his son Kermit and their party. They landed at Mombasa, British East Africa. April 20 and Colonel Roosevelt got to shooting as soon as he could.
 "On April 25 he bagged his first game, two wild beasts and a gazelle. Next day he had fair days sport and in 24 hours made IS kills mostly of small deer. On April 30 he killed three lions, each at the first shot and Kermit killed a fourth, the biggest of all Very soon the admiring natives named him 'Bwana Tumbo,' the Portly Master, and he kep. on shooting. Thus on May 12 he killed leopard and took alive her two cubs.
 Fast succeeding dispatches announced that Colonel Roosevelt had shot giraffes, rhinoceroses, buffalo and numerous other big game. A dispatch from Nail robi, May 27, told that in the month Colonel Roosevelt secured eighty-six spec

seems to be an effort to O mix and amalgamate church and

state in Alabama.

l0 mix and amalgamate church and
 state in Alabama. Seldom in the history of the world has such been successful. The student of his tory can cite much to prove that the church cannot conduct the state, nor the politiian the church successfully.
 When politicians would use churches for political preferment and dictate to mem- bers through the church organization, yaar their economic. business lnd polit- ical views shall be the chured becomes a hall of politics rather than a house of Cod.
 Why should a man be asked to resign mt,ntel ship of a church and leadAi Of fhe Bible class therein because he would ad- vocate conservatism in politics and 'eSis- lation.
 I refer to the Leon McCord case in Montgomery. The man, I am told, is model of virtue. conservatism and an ideal citizen. Yet because he has the courage to speak out against fanatics and politicians who would promote them selves at the expense of everyone else he is to be asked to resign membership in his church.
 I don't personally know MT. McCord, but if he is the man of character which I am told he Is, then there will be many good men and women who will go out with him of a church which would pollute itself with everyday politics.
 How churches can mix themselves into personal political campaigns is beyond my apprehension.
 The fife and drum campaign of the pres ent Governor of Alabama and his fol- lowers is much like unto one MT. Roose- velts African hunting expedition. It looks like the whole state, its industries. it's manufactures, it's railroads. and all it has. is being used at random to con- tinue to promote those who have been promoted.
 Any reader who has kept up with two or three years history can digest it for himself, as newspaper readers have fig ured out MT. Roosevelt's African tour where he has gone with numbers of gov ernment officials to collect specimens for the Smithsonian Institute.
 AS President he arranged the tour. Of course his and his sons personal ex- penses are borne by himself, but the gov ernment pays the expenses of the com pany of clever experts and clever good fellows; and their doings are heralded back almost daily to the newspapers and magazines.
 He is as prolific in telling what he is doing and boasting of what he will do as Is one of his stereotyped brethren In Ala bama who is going to run things In this neck of the woods if he has to spend

The Laundry Business.

"In reading about the convention of laundrymen to be held in Birmingham Monday. one recalls the steady progress which the laundry business has made In this country" said banker
 T remember when your laundryman was supposed to be Chinaman. But gradually the laundry business expanded and some time since reached high com mercial level-as high as that of any other business. The proprietor of good laun- dry, other things being equal, ranks with the big hotel man, the big merchant, the manufacturer and the real estate agent Laundering is business that requires cap- ital, brains and progressive ideas, and such being true there is every reason why the proprietor and others assisting in the management of laundry should be entitled to social and commercial recog- milton. All the laundrymen I know are gentlemen and are rated high from every point of view"

ing building to accommodate postoffice, internal revenue office and federal court, as now, will probably hold on to the building now in use for all the offices except the postoffice and erect a large and handsome edifice exclusively for postoffice. For fast-growing cities the government builds on a large scale not merely for the present and the near future, but for 30 or 40 years ahead; sometimes 50 years ahead.
 'I am glad to see from the postmas- ter's report for six months that the bus mess of the postoffice has gained con- siderably over the first six months of 1908. When the present rate of increase in the business of the Birmingham post office and Birmingham's assured great future are taken into consideration Con gressman Underwood will doubtless be able to induce the government to pro- vide us with s1,5oo,oOO or $2,o0o.ooO post office building. By the way. 1t would be wise on the part of the government to make a start before the census is taken by buying or obtaining an option on suitable site. In Atlanta and per haps other cities the government has pursued that policy and acquired ground at reasonable figures. rather than wait and pay fancy prices for realty"
