AN effort is to be made by progressiyes
to reduce the power OF the speaker of the

the movement is not only opportune, but

ALL this talk about Roosevelt being
"dead politically" has no credence even
with the newspapers uttering it. They
know better. Whatever Roosevelts
foults, a lack of red blood has never been
attributed to him. The Democrats are

garded as such. And wave of popular
discomfort will be just as good for them
to ride out on and Roosevelt in, as it was
contrariwise. Blizzard.

In opening his address before the Ma
tional Geographic society, at Washing
ton, Friday night, ex-President Roose-

the only remark that could be construed
as bearing on the late political unpleas-
antness, says the Oil City Blizzard. But,
while refraining from any discussion of
political matters, he improved the oppor-
tunity to make several little saber-th -thrusts
at his maligners and trsducers, as, for ex-
ample, when he said: ~ am now going
to shake hands with every blessed one of
you who does not think his character will
be hurt thereby" He has happy faculty.

Judge Scores Blind Tigers

Huntsville, October 5-(Special.)-
Judge Tancred Belts In the law and
equity court has set the grand jury
on the trail of the soft drink men in
this city who are said to be openly vio-
lating the prohibition law
at has become a matter of common
knowledge" said Judge Belts, that
the, prohibition law is being violated
in this city and county. Soft drink
men have had the nerve to purchase
government revenue licenses and dis
play them in their places of business.
1t is not necessary to have anything
besides a list of those soft drink men
who have procured these licenses and
indict them, for under the Alabama
statutes the possession of revenue
license is prima facie evidence that the
law is being violated. The burden OF
proof Is upon the defendant"
Judge Belts charged the grand Jury
to Investigate the prevalent practice of
betting on elections and to look into
election frauds. He said elections in
Madison county are worse now than
they were in carpet bag times when
ballot box surfing was practiced uni
versally in Alabama. He said 1t Is a
disgrace to the county and ought to
be stopped by the indictment of few
of the Illegal voters.
Some attention was directed toward
city affairs and Judge Belts charged
the jury that 1t had come to his ears
that there has been diversion of city
moneys.
