That there has recently been a

Filipinos in English is pointed to as
an evidence of the uneonquerable dis
like of the islanders for the Ameri-
cans. and an Illuminating demonstra-
ton of the Filipino's total lack of
gratitude. But the Bureau OF Educa-
ton insists that this condition Is
closely related to the failure of the
insular government to provide suff1-
Client funds to keep open the night
schools established I'VE years ago in
the larger towns in the Archipelago.
AS the Manila night schools still re-
naming open. are well patronized. the
Bureau OF Education seems to have
the better of the argument. The post
ponement until 1911 of the adoption
of English as the official languages
of the courts which was occasioned by
the unfamillarity of a number of
lawyers with English. siso had its ef-
feet in lessening the interest of the
older Filipinos.

 Which Must Be Filled
 This Winter.
PRESIDENT HAS BIG J03.
BY WATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington. October &.-(Special)- Over in Maryland Collector Stone of Bal tmore the republican boss of the state, Is in a pretty bad hole. Several days ago communication was printed In the Baltimore Sun citing the shameful pro- ceedings in a republican national con vention, where a little negro boy and d white girl were placed on the platform and waved flags after the selection of the republican presidential candidate. Stone promptly and vigorously denied that any such incident ever took place. and the denial was printed as an advertise ment in the Baltimore American, the re- publican organ, and distributed over the state as campaign literature under the heading of the Suns interpretations
 Of course everyone who attended the Chicago convention, which nominated Roosevelt, witnessed the incident and the Baltimore American printed an account of 1t at the time which is nov being reproduced. To add to tSone's discom- foture it is recalled that he was sergeant at-arms of the convention and It was one of his appointees, "a lusty assistant ser geant-at-arms," who actually carried the little white girl to the platform where the little negro boy was capering.

NEW SHOE STORE IS
 FORMALLY OPENED

Solomon's Shoe Store, the handsome new place on Third avenue, has been formal. ly opened and the new firms start is made under the most suspicious circum- stances
 pretty new place at 1912 Third avenue, that has been fitted up by Solomon's Shoe Store, and telegrams and beautiful floral designs testified to the esteem in which the house Is held by its friends and the people from whom they buy goods.
 And while it could be seen by all that the store lacked yet a number of finish ing touches. it was conceded by everyone that 1t is one of the prettiest shoe stores anywhere in the south. New and novel arrangements add greatly to the looks of the store, while facilitating the hand ling of both shoes and customers The electric lighted flash sign in front of the building is calculated to attract great deal of business to the store.
 The store in Birmingham is one of three owned by Solomons Shoe Store com pany, the others being in Helena and charge of l.. H. Shapiro of Dallas. and Charles R. Crul of Greenwood. both of whom are men of great experience in the shoe business.
 The assurances given the new store on the occasion of its formal opening yes terday sby many visitors would seem to presage lively business for the concern from the very first In fact, no con cern ever entered upon a career with brighter. prospects.

Barney Oldtield Has
 Returned To Birmingham

l bought it after l had become convinced that it was the fastest creation in the world today.
 T have never given it a thorough try ing out on a mile track, but 1 certainly hope to let it go the limit on the Birming- ham track. I know what the fair grounds course is here, and I believe that if the conditions are right I can hang up a new figure for the mile.
 Oldfield will go back to Montgomery to- night in order to be on hand to try his car out in the morning.
 The Business Mems league is very en- thusiastic over the prospects for 2 great race meet. Several special races are be- ing planned by the Birmingham Motor club, which is framing up the amateur races. Thursday the Birmingham Motor cycle club closed negotiations. which have been going on for some time to put on three motorcycle events
 Robert Stubbs. one of Birminghamis best-known riders, will drive his twin-cyl- finder machine In the races, and there will also be couple of other experts on the track, who are planning on entering the Atlanta races, and are stopping off on their way.
 In all there will probably be 20 entries in the Motorcycle events, and the compe- tition gives promise of being very keen as the Business Mems league has agreed to present gold prizes
 Because of the position 1t occupies in the local auto world the Birminghann Mo tor club will be given the privilege of making selection of seats for it's mem bers and also allowed first choice of parking spaces.

Fight on Cattle lick.

The department of agriculture has prepared an exhaustive statement on the best methods of exterminatng the Texas fever tick, which transmits the disease of cattle. The fever has been the cause of heavy loss and a great handicap to live stock raising in the south.
 The department of agriculture believes it possible to entirely eradicate the pest if the individual work of farmers In CO., operation with the department is secured The annual loss due to the tick, is esti- mated from S40,000,000 to s10o000, 900.
 The tick is something more than a simple parasite drawing blood from it's host, 1t being the carrier of a dangerous germ, which 1t transmits to the blood of cattle, thus causing a disease known by many names, among which are Texas fever tick fever, splenetic fever and murrain. Without the tick there can be no Texas fever, and it is by preventing the spread of the tick beyond it's natural bounds that the fever has been prevented from waging destruction among northern cattle, which are especially susceptifcl to the disease

 Speaker Carmichael

Huntsville, October 2S.-(Special.)- Judge E.. B. Almon of Tuscumbia stated last night that he believes Colbert county will give a big majority against the constitutional amendment. The average voter of that county is highly incensed at what he considers the treachery of Speaker Carmichael, who was elected by the Colbert countians to establish dispensaries there, and then turned prohibitionist and becaSle one of the govern or's right hand men. They expect to make an example or him and bring his political career to a close Judge Almon also expressed belief that the amenders have no earth ly chance of carrying Lauderdale coun- ty, which has not been considered so safely against the amendment as Col bert. being normally a prohibition county.

Barney Oldfeld, holder of more automo- bile records than any other man in the world today, and probably the greatest character the benzine buggy sport has ever known arrived in Birmingham late Thursday and today will visit the State Fair track with committee from the Business Mems league.
 Oldfeld is little changed since last seen here. and is the same big, good-natured fellow that he has always been in spite of the numerous spills he has taken and of the worldwide fame he has gained on the track
 He came in from Montgomery where he is scheduled to close the fair Saturday with a big race meet. He was due at noon Thursday, but because of some work that had to be done on his racing mon- ster and which he had to oversee he could not get away until the late after noon train.
 T am looking forward to the races here with a lot of pleasure, as I hope to hang Up few marks on the Birmingham track. This car now belongs to me, and

Many Appointments to Make.

To get a fair Idea of what the Pres ident has on his hands during the coming winter, in one department alone the department of justice, there will be- come due about 100 judicial appointments Most of these refer to the expiration of the four-year terms of United States dis trict attorneys and United States mar shals.
 In Alabama two marshals in the Bir mingham and Montgomery districts must be selected, as well as a district attorney in the Montgomery district.
 In Indiana the marshalship becomes vacant.
 In Kentucky the terms of the two mar shals and two district attorneys become vacant.
 In Mississippi the President will have the naming of two district attorneys and one marshal, the southern district
 In Tennessee there will be three mar shals at the Presidents disposal and three district attorneys.
 The department of justice is swamped with applications, and the chances that comparatively few of the men now in office will be able to secure reappoint ments.
