LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The "shark" Bill

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 It seems that all the great cannons and Gatling guns of both the mental and moral forces of Alabama have been turned on the obnoxious money shark" !" or 'loan shark" or, think perhaps we may just call them shark" for short. If you will allow me to speak my senti- ments I will say that 1t appears to me that the infallible(D legislature may be holding up the shark as kind of sub tefuge or "blinder' in order to enact a law which would have quite different effect to what, on its face. it would ap- pear to have. It has enough "beauty spots'' on its face, however, for one to see that it is direct blow at the la borers liberty. Let us quote portion of that great biN of blessings. and see who it really blesses. It provides, "that all assignments of wages earned and to be earned will be null and void when such assignments are made after June i, 1911. unless such assignment Is made with the written approval of the employer
 In other words, the laborer must have the written consent of his master before he can exercise the liberty, which, in his humble condition. is the whole of his as- sets and securities. Now, was not here in slavery times; but have heard of this same condition about the negro slave; that is, that when he went visiting he had to get the written consent of his master before he could 50. I wonder who asked for this blessed bill of rights" to be- come A law. and who will be benefited, by 1t. Was it the humble laborer? Will he reap blessings from it? Can he be anxious for his only assets and securi- ties to be declared by law worthless! And can we imagine for one moment that he is really desirous of being placed in such position that he must humoiy beseech the consent of his master In or der that his assets may be of any value and aid to him in time of need? What right or claim has the mighty master to the humble servants earned wages?
 Time is his only lien, and that Is es- tablished by rule and not by statute. Then, if the master has no right or own

BANK OF ENGLAND
 REDUCES DISCOUNT

London, January 26.-After a prolonged discussion the board of directors of the Bank of England today reduced the bank discount from AZ to per cent. This ac- tion was unexpected in view of the present stringency in the money market, which recently hardened private discounts. Evi- dently the directors were guided to their decision by the fact that they have abso- lute control of the money market through tax collections, and will be able to make the per cent rate effective.
 When the bank returns are published the reserve probably will show a good increase. Discount rates at foreign cen ters are also lower than London. and there Is an absence of foreign gold de- mand. It is believed that the Indian requirements are less pressing and prob- ably this helped to bring down the mini mum rate.

Brunswick, Ga, January 26.-Senator Nelson Aldrich of Rhode Island, who ar rived at Jekyl Island several days ago in search of quiet resting place, has so much improved in health that he has de- cided to prolong his visit to Jekyl, and he probably will remain on the island for two or three weeks longer.

SIR CHAS. DILKR
 DIES IN LONDON

London, January 26.-Sir Charles Wentworth Dilke died today. The im- mediate cause of death was heart trou- ble, though he had been in an enfeebled condition since the recent election. the strain of the campaign having affected him severely. He went to the south of France to recuperate, returning to London last Saturday. Soon after reaching home he took to his bed Sir Charles had represented the Forest and Dean division of Gloucester in par iiament since 1892. He was recognized as one of the most brilliant minds in politics, particularly in the domain of foreign affairs. and but for an old di- vorce scandal that blighted his career probably would have held the highest offices in the gift of his country.

TO THE CITIZENS
Continued from page ~

But if any paper could preju-
dice the Board and the people,
by publishing absolute falsehoods
about one of it's members, then
it would be utterly impossible to
get any franchise through, no
matter how good it might be,
without first buying up the news
paper. That in my opinion, any
man who would allow himself to
be appointed on Board for the
purpose of getting through fran
chise in which he was financially
interested, using his official posi-
ton to make money at the ex-
pense Of the taxpayers, was worse
than petty larceny thief, and |
did not have to make my money
that way. | then turned to Mr..
j. B. Stanfield and said, "The
members of this Board know you,
and the people Of this town'know
you and have confidence in you.
Here is a Hundred Dollar bill,
keep it for a reasonable length
of time, and if the New Time
man proves to your satisfaction
| am financially interested with
Mr.. Blake in any way, or in any
franchise for this village, or was
that his statements are true, that
SO interested in the one he pre-
scented at Glenns Ferry, or acted
as his agent in presenting one
at Glenns Ferry, or ever present
ed one at Glenns Ferry for any
one, then you give him this hum
bred dollars. There are no strings
on this bill, but | want the prlvi-
lege of knowing any evidence he
may produce. The New Time
statements are false, or else mine
are, and this Hundred dollars
says mine are true. Ii not, 1t
will amply repay the New Time
for proving his" | then stated
that | had been informed that
parties in this town had told Mr..
Blake that they had influence
enough to get franchise through
for him if he would make it to
their interest to do so, and that
/ had informed Mr.. Blake that
this Board would like to have
him meet them and present a
franchise for their consideration,
and that he would not have to
buy any one or any paper to get
courteous treatment and 1alr
hearing.
| then outlined my idea, which
was and is, to get the best pro-
position we could ON both water
and lighting, try to get some
thing that looked good to the
Board and then call a meeting
of the citizens; and assured those
present that there would be no
franchise of any kind granted
without giving the people ample
opportunity to discuss it.

devotes a couple of columns to-
me, and among other things says
