Overflow Meeting Held

Two great meetings were held to take care of the thousands of people who frantically clamored for tickets to hear Colonel Roosevelt speak.
 The first of these meetings for the overflow was held in the hippodrome. There the colonel was received with cheers The audience consisted of as many women as men and they joined in the demonstration with enthusiasm. There were some essentials of good citizenship, the colonel said, upon which all good Americans could unite. They were obedi- ence to law and the suppression of cor ruption and lawless vices.
 The American government, declared Colonel Roosevelt was bound to be the most successful of government on earth.
 Let me tell you. sir,' shouted one of the coloners auditors. as though pro- testing, and then became silent in obedi- ence to the persuasion of his friends.
 'I am aware that we need certain changes in the law" continued Colonel Roosevelt Take for instance our cor porations. A corporation Is a necessary instrument of modern business. Steam. electricity and the growth of cities. of communication and the means of trans hitting news. all have combined In bring ing into effect a new type of business organizations. But corporations are necessary I would protect them abso- lutey in their rights, Remember, friends, that 1t Is a very difficult thing to get honest treatment from any one unless you give honest treatment yourself
 ''I would not ask the corporations to behave well as a favor. l would tell them that they had to behave well be- cause if they did not we would make them
 xThe corporation is entitled to Its rights, It should be protected in Its rights,r but 1t is not entitled to vote and it is not entitled to own any man in public life nor to send any man into public life"

Aldermen and Salaries

Regarding the resolution that the city council reimburse the aldermen for their services as such, an ex-officeholder and pioneer resident of Bessemer recited the following in the lobby of the Grand hotel today:
 This talk of paying the aldermen a salary calls to my mind an incident that happened some time ago in small town where I was visiting The city council had adopted an ordinance to pay the councilmen so much per night, with de- duction for absence without sufficient cause
 ''The difference between this and Car lisles plan was, that the amount de- ducted from the absentees was to be di- vided among the members present.
 "One night when the council was to meet there came up hard rain storm. As the weather was cold 1t turned into sleet the night was about as dis agreeable a proposition as one would wish to see.
 "One of the councilmen figured 1t out. however, that an opportunity presented itself where he could make little money, so, despite the cold and sleet, he trudged off to the council meeting.
 "One his arrival, much to his surprise. he found every man present. It was an other case of great minds running in the same direction. Each had surmised the other would be absent on account of the cold and sleet. Each expected to rake in a Jackpot but looking over his hand he found he had only "bobtailed flush.'
