AMERICAN INDUSTRIES
By SAW oYARD

Washington, October 11.-(Special.)-I
 was the blind senator from Oklahoma,
 MT. Gore, who uttered this epigram which is scarce obnoxious to the criticism Ed
 gar Allen Poe had for the epigram in general. Said the senator:
 "The tariff enables one man to get with
 out earning what another man earns without getting
 I don't believe the idea was ever more felicitousy expressed, and surely it de- lighted that maker of happy epigrams, MT. Bryan.
 | Senator Gore draws a serious indict-
 ment against the tariff, and here is tes- timony to warrant conviction:
 | Both Colonel Goethals and Colonel I Hodges stated to the appropriation com nttee that the law which requires the
 commission to give preference to Amer ican bidders, unless their figures are too high. has kept many foreign firms from entering the, contest They mentioned the case of the purchase of a ladder dredge from foreign firm for $399,o00, an incident which, they said, brought ferth many protests from American man. ufacturers and their friends. The only DlQ llOm df1 AlltIlCdH III III lOI iiiiS
 al edge was $S74.000, more than twice the
 price asked by the foreign manufacturer. You see the American people, through their agent, the American Congress, agreed to tax themselves $500000,000 or approximately that sum, to construct ship canal across the isthmus of Panama. Of course supplies to the cost of hun dreds of millions would be required for
 the mighty enterprise and the Roosevelt
 administration very bravely declared that those supplies would be bought in the
 cheapest markets in the world.
 But that did not suit the men in Amer iea who had such supplies to sell, and they appealed to subservient American Congress which required the authorities in charge of the work to give the pref erence to American bidders unless their figures were outrageous. Thus the Amer ican people not only taxed themselves to | build the canal, but they added at least | $l00,000,0 900 to the cost for the 'protec- tion' of the American manufacturers. ''Behold. my son., said the Swedish | chancellor. with how little wisdom the l world is governed" It was the duty | imposed on the people to foot the bills | of this gigantic undertaking. but it was | the right of certain interests" to reap a | profit from it. The government consti- | thted itself an enormous buyer, and then | put shackles on itself that practically

WALKER KILLED BY WILLIS BONE Prominent Cullman Men

Cullman. october f1.-(SpeciaD.- CT page in the history of Cullman county has been darkened by the killing of Joe Walker by Willis Bone. in cold drink stand operated by Walker in West Gull man last night
 \ According to. the story as told by those who lived in the near vicinity of the cold drink stand, that during the afternoon yesterday Bone and walker became in volved in difficulty. in which it seems from the. statements given out, that Walker was acting as peacemaker be- tween Bone and some other parties who were said to have been engaged in fuss with Bone. It is said that Bone left the place in the afternoon but returned about o'clock last night
 In the meantime, however, he is said to have gone to his home and gotten his shotgun. The altercation was renewed. and Bone shot Walker with the shotgun, the load taking effect in the right should ering and Walker, being in a stopping

 will be of ncalculable benefit to our coun- try in case of war, it will be of compar- atiNe inconsequential advantage to us In
 a commercial way unless we make a rad ical change in our economic policy. Such
 works are made for ships. We have no

 fhere was launched the other day at an
 American shipyard at Fore River, Mass,
 one of the largest ships in the world of dreadnaught class, with the enormous
 displacement of 2sO00 tons. The vessel
 is for the Argentine navy, and the Amer ican contractor got the job because he underbid all the shipyards of England and continental Europe. There was great rejoicing among the faithful, like | Jim Sherman, Jake Gallinger and other l frineds of the tariff. But when they | were begging for ship subsidy they as- 1 serted-and proved by statistics-that 1t
 was a financial and industrial impossibl fly for America to compete with England in the construction of ships, though It was notorious that our shipyards had
 constructed numerous vessels for foreign
 ravies-Russian, Japanese, Chilian and others.
 Now, it is a fact that more labor is
 required to build a ship like that monster
 which WAS launched in Massachusetts last week than is required by anything
 else constructed by the skill and labor of man. unless it be a railroad or a tunnel under a great river, or a canal joining two oceans. Perhaps it required the labor
 of 25,000 wage earners to produce the ma
 terials and fashion them into that mighty craft that is to head the navy of the leading LatinAmerican republic. But
 the Fore River shipyard undertook the task for less money than the yards Of Glasgow, Scotland or Belfast, Ireland,
 were willing to perform it.
 | But our laws gave the American ship | yard an advantage In that all raw ma | terals that entered into the construction
 of that ship were free of tariff duty, and | if American material was used the Amer | ican producer of that material gave that | shipyard a rebate equal to the tariff duty. | That was testified to by one of the Steel 1 trust magnates before the congressional
 committee that is Investigating the Steel

Widows Case Tests Law

A nice point of law, whether an officer who was shot down in pitched battle with a drink crazed man met his death by an accident or as the result of premed- itated murder will be involved in the suit which Mrs. Mary Bee Cunningham has fled against the Continental Casualty company to recover $1650 on policy held in the company by her husband, J. L.. Cunningham, the Anniston patrolman who was killed by Will McGuffin. The company is said to have offered com- I romise on the ground that the officer 8 death was not an accident
 It is announced here that Will Car son, who was convicted in the city court Wednesday of selling blind tiger liquor, Icing fined sG00 will appeal. In this event, his labor sentence and appeal bond will likely be set at once by Judge Thomas w. Coleman.
 MT. and Mrs. C. J. Houser of this city have announced the engagement and ap- preaching marriage of their daughter, Lucy Cogar, to Henry Huddleston Booth of Montgomery, the wedding to take place the latter part of November. The an- nouncement was the occasion of a de- lightful luncheon given by Miss Houser to a few of her Intimate friends Wednes- day morning.

Burnett Will Be Candidate

Gadsden, October 11.-(Special.)- Congressman John l.. Burnett has def initely decided to be a candidate to succeed himself It is pretty certain that there will be no opposition to him In the party as he has made good record and has gotten to the point where he is better able to give good service than at any time in his con- gressional career. It is quite possible that he will have no opposition what ever as the strongest man the repub- licans could have named went down be- fore him in defeat at the last election. However, the republicans in the Sew enth district are a pretty optimistic lot and it will surprise no one if the come out with candidate and put up all the fight they have.

Deficiencies of the Church ,

"A lack of deep conviction of sin, lack of the master passion for human souls. lack of the exaltation of joy. lack of sacrificial service, and lack of the power of personal witnessing" are the de- ficencles of the modern church, In the opinion of the Rev. pr. Bruner, evangel-. ist under the Southern Baptist conven- tion, who is now conducting the big re- vival at Parker Memorial church here, in which all the Baptist churches of the city are united: and unless these condi- tions are remedied.' he says, we will wake up some of these mornings to find that the Lord has come in. terrible judg- ment upon his own people who have for gotten Him and wandered away" Large numbers are hearing Dr. Burners mes sages every morning and evening.

CLARK IS PROMOTED

Anniston, October 11.-(Special. )- Quite a number of Annistonians went up to Jacksonville Wednesday after noon to attend the funeral of former State Senator Lon W Grant, whose body was laid at rest at the Jack sonville cemetery Wednesday afternoon, following funeral services at the Meth odist church, conducted by the Rev. T. s. .Aldrich. pastor. He died Tues day night at II o'clock.
 Having served four years in the Con federate army, Tenth Alabama, under Gen. William H. Forney, two terms in senate, having been a member of tho last constitutional convention, Senator Grant was one of the foremost men in the county and a potent factor in the ranks of the democratic party, which he never deserted in the days of populism and compromises, fighting valantly when fighting was necessary to perpetuate the dominance of demo- cratic doctrine. Referring to his death Wednesday morning, Col. John B. Knox of this city, president of the constitu LlOndl COnNeHlioll III WiiCll MI. 1i hlil served, said He was a clear, far sighted thinker; a hard and ardent fighter a trenchant writer and loyal citizen"

 Possibly the greatest monument to Senator Grants efforts is the Ala bama Normal college, which he secured for Jacksonville, now one of the fore most institutions of learning in the state He secured the location of the school there while a member of the state senate. For several years he was editor of the Jacksonville Repub- lican, a democratic weekly founded by his party, now the Anniston Republic and one of the oldest papers in Ala bama. In this capacity he did an ef- fective work for his city, his county his state and party. In recent years he has been in the real estate business, being president of the Alabama Invest ment company. He was also one of the founders of the 1de cotton mills at Jacksonville.
 Senator Grant was born at Jack sonville in August of 1S42. His wife died several years ago, and ne IS sur vived only by four sisters, Mrs. Marthh Francis of Jacksonville, Mrs Mary Francis of New York; Mrs. Ida Kirk of Los Angeles, Cal, and Mrs. Ida Woodward of Boise, Icaho.
