Curran resigned his place as warden to accept the position of bailiff in the re- corders court and custodian of the build ing. That position he held until his death
 Mir. Curran was one of the best known men in Birmingham. He was a unique character and as such was loved and re- spected by a large circle of friends. Mir. Curran had been a sergeant at arms in the national democratic convention for years and held that position in the con- vention that nominated Grover Cleveland for President. Mr. Curran was also the first letter carrier in the city of Birming- ham
 Mir. Currans death was caused by a slight abrasion on his thumb which was infected and developed into blood poison ing. It was at first thought that the ann puation of his arm would save his life, but his blood was so filled with the poison that it was in vain. He gradually sank, and despite all efforts of the physician he died yesterday morning shortly before o'clock.
 MT Curran is survived by his widow and seven children, six daughters and one son. His daughters are Misses Rena Mae. Annie Danson, Etta, Eleanor, Clara and Florence Curran; his son, Clarke Curran. He is also survived by brother and sis ter, T. P. Curran. and Mrs. Martin Mur- ray of Louisville Ky.
 The funeral services will be held Sun day afternoon at o'clock from St. Paus Catholic church. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, of which Mir. Curran was tyler will be in charge of tho funeral. Interment will be in Oak Hill cemetery
 MT. Curran resided at 106 North Twelfth street

SEVERAL STATEMENTS
Judge Lane Thinks Policy of Recall ing Judges 'Is Repugnant to Every Sense of
 Justice"

Gov. Emmet O'Neal Is not without supporters in Birmingham in his po- sltion on the initiative and recall. Con- gressman Underwood, while in Mont gomery, gave out statement In which he indorsed what Governor O'Neal had said and Commissioner A. o. Lane oi Birmingham, warm friend of Gov ernor O'Neal and jurist of wide Knowledge, also indorsed Governor O'NeaFs position.

Judge Lanes Statement

Commissioner Lane in standing up for Governor O'Neal says that such a policy as that of recalling judges is "repugnant to every sense of justice He adds that it is a matter "of pro- found regret that the question of re calling judges is being agitated.'
 The city commissioner characterizes the proposition as "a populistic doc urine which is contrary to democratic principles" and "a fleetns fad"
 The statement of Commissioner Lane follows:
 with me it Is a matter of pro- found regret, that the question of re- calling judges for decisions rendered by them contrary to popular prejudice Is being agitated. It is repugnant for every sense of justice. It is well known among the profession, at least, that judges are called upon to decide ques- tions involving the incest points of law, about whith the laity know noth- Ing. and yet, as I understand it, a de- cision adverse to the popular prejudice would justify recall, although the judges decision might be entirely cor
 
 entirely wrong. It Is a populstic doc Urine that is contrary to democrati tic principles, and it should never find a pedestal upon which to rest.
 If judge is guilty of misconduct he should be impeached, but he should never be removed for a mere error however much the result may differ with popular opinion, which is fre- quently as changeable as the moon.
 ''I am a great admirer of Governor Woodrow Wilson, and l think his gen eral ideas of civil government are pre- eminently correct, but I regret that he has gone off on this fleeting fad. am quite sanguine that the democratic platform will not contain any such cratic and illusory plank"

did not want circus-misht agree to let 1t come. for $40O license. While they were thinking over the matter our neghbor got the show Hundreds of people from our town attended. Also had lunch and dinner there, and many came home that night with large bundles they had bought marked down for the occasion. Yes, the men had bought some bargains, too. We say bargains. but the men say good values. Our little city had a fair then. but has none now. and they can not blame circus for it. Birmingham, your beautiful city and my new homo, seems a little short on parades. any way. When l was in Chicago and New Orleans they seemed to have some kind of a parade most every day. Just think hours waiting for the parade to start, forgotten. The blood leaps the heart bounds and the eyes sparkle. and as the calliope is heard in the distance with it's grinding music, notice the elastic step of the hungry crowd and how the clown mouth tdroopng corners) gives way to a satisfied smile. To those who have forgotten how to smile, borrow some chi- dren who have not the price of a ticket and take them to a show. You surely will have pleasant afternoon. though I ad- init very strenuous one. too. Let us ever keep our hearts young enough to en- joy a parade and the circus

One restaurant man said yesterday that he knew mutton from lamb, and al- ways went to the packers to pick out his meat for the day. Suppose l want two lambs" he said 'I go to the retailer and he has one lamb and two muttons on hand. There is no way out of it ex- cept for me to take one of those muttons. It is not the price that we care so much about as 1t Is the having of a large stock of meat from which to make our se-
 ections. That is the reason we like to buy from the packers. " '-'.'z.
 Definite action has not yet been taken on the matter, but 1t is understood that the new arrangement has been planned to go into effect about the middle of.next week. The change may cause some slight advances in the prices of meats served to customers at the restaurants and hotels.

UnderwO0d's Views

The statement made by MT. Under wood on the subject is as follows
 ''So far as the initiative. the ref erendum and the recall are concerned agree with Gov. Emmet ONeal in his address before the conference of gov ernors at Spring Lake N. j. These are not and cannot be made national is- sues. They are questions which should be confined to the various states in which there are agitations over them pro and con. They have no part, now in a national campaign. I was pleased to observe that Gov. Woodrow Will son, while claiming that these theories had been successful in various states nevertheless held that they were state questions and should not be made ma tional issues at this time.
 The gentlemen who are striving to force the initiative, the referendum and the recall into national politics as a na- tional democratic doctrine, are working to the injury and detriment of the party The democratic party next year has a magnificent record on which to go before the country. That record is made on old doctrines of the party, low tariff and reduced burdens to the people.
 ''The democratic party in 1910 stood for a low tariff and an econmically admins tered government. The democrats swept the country on that issue. They have won every time they have made the fight on that issue. In the special session of Congress they have kept every pledss they made the people. They have vindi- cated the truth and sincerity of the coun- try. We enter the next campaign enjoy ing the confidence of the country
 ITO abandon the tariff and economy in government affairs as issued. to run off after fads and fancies, seems to me to be the height of folly. These so-called re forms embodied in the initiative, the ref erendum and the recall are purely state questions. They have no part in a na- tional campaign. Let them be established and let them be tried in the states that want them, but let the democratic party, in it's national campaign, stand to its old ideals and its old teachings If " does we shall assuredly achieve a great victory.
 with the confidence of the voters in It's sincerity the democratic party can go before the country on platform standing for lowered tariff and an eeco- nomically administered government, and win a certain victory. It would be sur cidal for the party to abandon the tariff issue. and run off after fads, which would forfeit the confidence of the people in the party"

So far, it looks as IL the Hon.
William Lorimer is going to retain
his seat in the United States Senate.
Our conclusion has been reached on
account of the utter incapacity Of the
prosecution to yet present tangible
evidence that Mr.. Lorimer did spend
money other than legitimately TO
secure his election to the Senate.
Of course, witnesses have been on
the stand aud sworn TO all sorts OF
things about the Senator, but alter
careful scrutiny, their stories gen
orally simmer down to the fact that
those who hre opposing Lorime1
don't like him, and are using this
opportunity to "get eyen," and cry
"fraud."
