Increased and increasing cost of living
that deserves attention. This mutton
bears freight charges for over 10000 miles
and then 1t is made to bear at the custom

Were It not for the duty on mutton,
large quantities of New Zealand car

The duties on the necessaries of life will
be fought over in the coming congress

duties that keep the prices OF necessaries

DRY GOODS MARKET
rs MIXED AFFAIR

New York, April 24.-Complications
in the raw cotton market, together
with the announcement of difficulties
in a large New York jobbing house af-
fected the cotton goods market ad-
versely during the week. The fear
that cotton may break led converters
and other users of goods to withdraw
offers that We're in the market and it
also led to offerings of goods from
secondhand at still lower prices than
those recently current. Demand is still
light and prices still very irregular in
primary channels. On the other hand,
reports from retail centers indicate that
stocks are being run down to a low
point. Jobbers are buying moderately
of some lines for fall, but not on do
sold about $4,000 pieces of print cloths,
of which about $4,000 pieces were for
spot delivery.
Curtailment in production is extern
sive and this is expected to effect
balance in the relations of supply and

come to hand.
Duck is quiet and sales are effected
on a basis of 80 off the list on numbered

tons are in light request. The miscel-
laneous export trade is steady but the
large markets are not buying; yarns

COURTS OF INQUIRY
WILL BE TERMINATED

Washington, April 24-Several courts
martial and courts of inquiry which
have been drifting along for weeks
are expected TO be terminated this
week. Most notable among them is
the inquiry into the differences between
General Elliott and Colonel LAUGH
heimer, of the marine corps.
This proceeding had gone far be-
yond the scope originally assigned to
1t, and it now appears that 1t will
involve the succession to the command
of the marine corps that will result
from the retirement OF General Elliott
next fall. Some of the developments
during the investigation are believed
to have seriously affected the chances
of officers who had been regarded as
in favorable position for selection.

tired admirals who have been work
ing SO hard on the Lauchheimer case

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
That Bessemcr Speech

To the Editor OF She Age-Herald:
As there have beea two incorrect refer
ences to a part OF my remarks made in
introducing Mr.. Mallory at Bessemer Fri
day night / will ask you to print what
did say. l said, II have known Emmett
O'Neal nearly all my life, and he has
never done a hard days work at the bar,
and he practices at both bars" I claim
the privilege of latitude that the members
Of the bar seem to think they alone must
indulge in, in the courts 1t is true. but
Mr.. O'Neal is, in my eyes, before the
bar Of public opinion seeking a very i'm
portant office.
As to Mr.. Gardner Goodwyn's reference
to personal abuse and resentment by IT,
people, let him. as one of Mr.. O'Neal's
county managers, look to the Bacchan-
tian busterers of the ONeal following,
who, unrebuked by him, have not only
slurred the living but have spoken In
brutally coarse language of the 'illus-
trIous dead" buried in Selma!
II my remarks at Bessemer made votes
for Mr. O'Neal, why do his followers
prate about them?
In conclusion, referring to Mr.. O'Neals
irreyerent speech at Cullman, in your
Sundays issue, and to some of his spokes-
men who speak sometimes In the lam
guage OF ghouis, say: Lay on Macdun.
and damned be he who first cries. Hold,
enough. Respectfully.

The Carnegie Foundation has fund
amounting to s16,OoO,OOO and an annual
income of 100000. 1t has. however,
as a result of four years of work
but 31S benefciaries or pensioners on
its list and this number is drawing
an average pension of $1,46612 amount
ing in all to s466.S2O. The foundation
is therefore formulating money at
the rate of about sS5O,Ooo year.
The pension list is not confined to
college professors, there being but 10
of them. One hundred have been add
ed to the list by special favor, so
widows are cared for of accepted in
stitutions, and Is widows of monaco
cepted colleges.
The accepted list of colleges in con-
fined to those that are free from de-
nominational control and that are col
leges in fact as well as in name. This
list is constantly undergoing revision
and changes.
The pensions are granted as mat
ter of right to a man who has taught
well the better part of his active years
and who is 65 years old. If he belongs
10 an accepted institution ne can claim
the pension as a vested right and there
is no charity in it.
Really this great beneficence should
be extended to our public schools ana
in the richer states the movement is
already taking shape. Once fully es-
tablished it will spread from state to
state and pension will yet become
the right in modified form of every
public school teacher in his or her de-
Ginning years.

HUMOR OF JOHN CHINAMAN

1--WE of the funniest stories about
Cinnamon is not really Chinese.
- 1t was told by a British consul
at one of the treaty ports. He arrested
nine delinquent Chinese, intending to
turn them over to the tender merc!es of
the native magistrate next morning.
Meanwhile he gave them into the custody
of Chinese policeman, telling him to
lock them up, though there was no jail
at the consulate. But the policeman was
equal to the emergency. He solemnly
saluted, saying, 81 obey," and marched
his men off. Soon he returned and an
nounced that they were safely Gagged.
The consul was curious to see how
and where. lie followed his policeman
to the yard. There he saw the nine pris-
oners dancing round the consulate flag
staff, lugubriously chanting the Chinese
equivalent of "Ring-around-a-rosy
Whenever the dance showed signs of
tagging the policeman stirred them up
with a long pole. They seemed at FIRST
sight to be holding each others hands,
but looking closer, the consul saw that
they were handcuffed together

chained in ring around the flagstaff
they can certainly not get away! But
why do you make them dancer"
"Ahl' answered the Chinese police
man with infinite cunning, $50 that
they cannot climb up the pole and get
away!'
The consul broke out into loud Brit

Chinaman that the nine prisoners could

once; but the Chinaman had his idea

the condemned victim: "stick your head

In somewhat the same strain of "gal-
lows-humor'' is the tale of the Chinese
magistrate. One of his subordinates had
a shrewdish wife, who used to make his
life miserable, and, on occasion, to in
fict on him bodily chastisement. On
certain occasion when he had come home

A Week irlm Today

Emmett ONeal, candidate for COVER
nor, will receive a majority of the
votes in the democratic primary a week
from today Victory for him has been
practically assured ever since the cam
paign opened and now even many Of
those who are supporting his opponent,
Colonel Mallory, virtually concede that
o'Neal will be the winner
Mr.. ONeal stands for broad and pro-
gressive policies. He led the fight
against the prohibition amendment last
fall and he is now leading the dem
ocratic party of Alabama back to where
It belongs-on conservative ground.
Alabama, in spite of natural resources
and abundant harvests, was in an un-
happy state from 1907 until the defeat
of the proposed amendment last No
vember. A radical administration had
everything its own way. A subservient
Legislature did the governors bidding
and clamorous prohibition leaders ex
erted a mighty influence over both
the executive and the legislative
branches. Cunning Anti-SaIoon league
tactics were constantly in evidence and
when the prohibition governor, few
professional agitators and few polit
zeal parsons felt themselves at the
height of power they overleaped them
selves They forced through the legis-
lature the Ubiquitous prohibition
amendment. That was the limit.
Under the leadership of Emmett
o,Neal the odd guard" was assembled,
and the people rose in their might.
The most bitter contest in the history
of Alabama was on.
The patriot defenders of the consti-
tuition won by a majority OF $1,000
That splendid victory will be followed
up on May by a big majority fo1
o'Neal. Colonel Mallory. gentleman
of irreproachable cha 'acter. but
champion of the statewide prohibit
ton policy and a believer in constitu-
tional prohibition, will get a fairly re-
spectacle vote in the primary perhaps
but It will fall far short-it should
fall at least 10000 short-of o'Neal's
vote. The bigger O'Nears vote the
more far-reaching the effect for good.
Let every fair minded, patriotic demo-
crat do his duty next Monday and
O'Neal will have a landslide.

Aldermen for the Annexed Districts

1t will indeed be unfortunate If the
annexed districts of this city are de-
prived of the right to select their own
representatives in the City Council at
the coming city primary. To deprive
them of this American right would be
undemocratic and unsatisfactory, no
matter what led up to it or what
purposes it serves. All districts should
have in the earliest general primary
right to select their own representa-
tiyes. An alderman cannot be said to be
representative who has not a record
ed vote of his constituency lined up
behind him. He, in fact, has no con-
stituency except the appointing power,
and that bears no Endorsement of the
ward he was arbitrarily appointed to
represent.
Assuredly there must be a way out
of the legal tangle and If there is
not the men who have been appointed
should themselves make room for
primary race for aldermen in the new
wards Doubtless many of them could
come back with an Endorsement that
no one could assail or dispute.
The basic principle of representative
government and true democracy is at
stake in this matter and no small am
bition and certainly no selfish scheme
should be permitted to stand in the way
of permitting the new wards to Sc
lect their own representatives in the
City Council of the greater city. This
would lead to harmony and to the just
presentation of local matters and it
| should not be denied.

FOR NICARAGUAN

was made for the purpose of serving
him with q summons to appear as
witness before the United States COM

tain Hyland of the British steamship
Venus and Louis Kohlman, a resident

at the hotel at which Mr.. Corea had
been stopping that he had left, but the
officers were unable to discover whether
ne had made his departure from New
Orleans. Entertaining the belief that
perhaps he had not, they continued
their search.
According to the allegations back OF
