missioners, primarily for the reason that
an outside man has no touch with local
conditions here.
There would hardly be brought here
any man who Is absolutely unacQuainted
with some one i'm the city. He wouid
have a small circle of acquaintance. ana
by this very small circle he would be
quickly Influenced and would not be
sensible to the great sea of public senti-
ment. even IL ii washed up over him.
Mr.. Noyes said he was opposed to the
municipal suffrage form of government,
because OF the clean government here.
the absence of graft and the fact that
every dollar appropriated boughts dol
lars worth of results.
Favors Representation in Congress.
II think municipal suffrage might
change that. and yet ] am in favor of a
vote here in the District. We should
set up the forms and methods OF Ameri-
can manhood. The District OF Columbia
should be governed by Congress. the
control OF our affairs should vest itself
there. am in favor of the President
OF the United States acting as governor
Of the District-and yet I'm Congress the
District of Columbia should be repre-
sented. and the citizens of the National
Capital should have a voice in the cleo
ton OF the President of the United
States.
TO sum II up, would IKE 10 see ITO
further steps toward an arbitrary govern
ment in the District of Columbia: no fur-
Their steps toward making Washington
merely n federal bureau: no further steps
toward seeing a governor appointed by
the President no governor brought IN
from the out side: no opening of the doors
to corrupt common councils; no feather
duster' legislature: no sweep of graft ana
corruption over the city: but / hope some
day that the District Of Columbia may
participate in the rights of American citi-
zenShip.'

POLITICS IN MORGAN
BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY OVER
 THE AMENDMENT.
HartseIIe is in Doubt and MT. Knox is Billed to Speak There-MaJorty
 of Jurors Against 1t


 Decatur. Sept 5.-(Special. )-The anti-amendment people are claiming that this county will go against the prohibition amendment by at least two to one.
 They say that they have taken a poll of the county with the exception of the Hartselle beat and two or three other beats in the county. and that this poll shows that the amendment in the county will be defeated by two tc one This poll. they say, includes De- catur and New Decatur.
 Saturday. october 2nd. Hon. John B Knox. of Anniston, president of the last constitutio onal convention. will speak in Hartselle against the amendment bu' the antis will not open their campaign in this county until Saturday. octoDet 9th. when a meeting will be held Tn Decatur and some six or eight speakers from over the state will be present to speak against the aniendment. lhese sneakers have not yet been named.
 The prohibitionlsts are claiming the county by a safe majority. They ciai n that 95 per cent of the men who voted for prohibition will vote for the adop ton of the amendment. Should this he true this county would give good majority for the amendment. The pro hIbitionists have called meeting al ths county court house in Decatur on, thf night of September 27th.

TAX PROBLEM UP
POLL RECEIPTS ISSUED FROM
 STATE AUDITORs OFFICE.
Conditions Under Which Alabamians May Vote On Amendmen nt Ques-
 tiOn At The Election i'm November.

The poll tax problem once more is put up to the voter of Alabama. Next Friday the books will open, in the of- flee of the tax collector of every conn- ty. and the open season on poll taxes will be inaugurated.
 Poll tax receipt books were issued yesterday. from the office of the State Auditor, to each of the tax collectors.
 Some would-be voters, who were de- 1inquent last year. are puzzled as to the refusal to allow them to vote in the election on November 29, if they pay all delinquent poll taxes in octo- ber and before the election. There are hundreds of men in the state who will be cut off from the polls in the amend ment election because of their failure to pay their 1908 poll tax before February IS, 1909.
 The 1908 poll tax, however. rendered the person paying 1t eligible to vote in any election held during 1909. By the same token of law. he is not eligible to vote in, 1909 elections fl he did not pay the poll tax before February 15, 1909. The poll tax tc be paid after October 1. 1909. makes him eligible to vote in 1910 elections but has no connection with 1909 bal lloting.
 All persons who paid their poll tax before February IS, 1909, are eligible to vote November 29 and those who did not pay cannot vote under any circumstances.

TO THE THEATREGOING
 PUBLIC OF MONTGOMERY

The management of the Majestic Theatre wishes to announce that owing to the incompleteness of details at their new playhouse on Blob Street, they deem 1t best to open the third Vaudeville Season at their Commerce Street House for the week of Septem- Der 27.
 The absence of details would per- haps work some inconveniences on their patrons. and ever striving to please, 1t was decided not to open the new house until everything was in first class condition. which will un- questionably be on Monday, October I. However, the same high class enter tainments will be offered at the old Majestic as originally intended to open the new theatre
 The first performance will take place on Monday night, September 27 at 8:30, with regular daily matinees to follow, beginning Tuesday after noon at 3:30 o'clock. The entire lower floor will be reserved at the night per- formances. Tickets may be secured at the box office for any night of the week in advance.
 Box office open at 10 a, m. Monday.

 Monday all old pupils of the school will be instructed as to the books they will ned during the coming year. At 10 o'clock they will be dismissed to per- init them to attend the Senmes mem- ,orial services. All new pupils seeking entrance into the schools will be deatin- ed until examinations have been dis posed.
 Mir. Floyd says that he looks for no unusual increase in attendance a! either the high school or in the gram. mar sch ools. He expects about 4.50e pupils in all the grades. The high school attendance Is expected to reach $50.
 No increase of the teaching corps has been made for the coming session but MT. Floyd believes the corps as 1t stood last year to be ample to care for all children that may be at school this year. The teaching corps as 1t stands is composed of 85 white teach CTS and 35 negro teachers.
 No tuition will be charged except in the case of nonIresident children whose parents do not own more than five hundred dollars worth of property inside the city limits of Montgomery A tuition fee of s22.50 for the year will be charged of these.
 The routine work attending the open ing of the schools will be over with by Tuesday morning and the various grades are expected to be following the even tenor of their work almost as in mid-session before the middle of next week.
 MT. Floyd said last night that hut few changes had been in the matter of books or methods for the session now commencing but that he felt the educational work of Montgomery to better in hand than ever before aud the year now beginning is expected to be the most successful In the history of the schools,
