TEDDY VS. TAFT

 "But hero is where you mako your mistake" said Senator Sloan. "A chain iSsno stronger than it's weakest link. Roosevelt has been a good politician, but he possesses an inordlnate conceit. His political judgment told him that he could not win. His conceit, how ever, spoke stronger telling him that 1t would be impossible for the Amer ican people not to desire ardently hls rule as perpetual dictator. You catch the point?"
 "Ah, we'll" replied Captain Scott, 'tt does no good to argue. It is impossible to conyince a Tafite .sainst his will"
 "Or a Teddyite." retorted Senator Sloan But we are not to fall out over such a trivial matter. Life is too short"
 "As a matter of fact" commented q democrat who overheard the dialogue, "I believe both of those republicans will vote for Underwood in the fall. They are too good fellows to do other wise."

The several buildings on the grounds are being reno vated and remodelled and the grounds beautified. The park will be opened and the new attractions installed about the first of May. In speaking of his book ing Mir. Speilberger said:
 T have not quite decided as to what special attractions I will book for East Lake. You can say for me that they will be the best to be had I am already in touch with a number of high class at fractions. In the short time l have been in Birmingham I find that the people want the best there is in the way of amusements and are willing to pay for them. I shall endeavor to provide the very best the country affords. My policy will be to provide such amusements that will insure a second visit to the park The service and polite treatment of guests will be under ny personal observation and those who visit the park will be shown every attention"

 Canals

Washington. March 29.-The first ship will pass through the Panama canal In August or September of the year lgla. This statement was made today by Col. George Goethals to the Senate committee on canals and the House committee on exrenditures Colonel Goethals said speculative enemy never could pass through the waterway. He opposed the exemption of coastal vessels from tolls on the ground it would keep down the revenues, and for the further reason that coast cities already had lower rates than interior cities. He said the bulk of the benefit of such an exemption would be a governor in going to the steamship com- panies. He opposed the proposition that railroad ownership of stock in steamship companies be prohibited, giving as his reason that such an inhibition also would reduce receipts.

BESSEMER COUNCIL
 FAILS ID MEET
Alderman LaRue Discusses JOnesborp Muddle-Other
 News of Bessemer

Bessemer, March 2o.-(Special.)-There ing of the council tonight in the council chamber. the call having been issued by President George Ross The aldermen ignored the call and after waiting for about 20 minutes the meeting was ad- jorned.
 | Alderman J. A. LaRue, though not pres ent at the meeting, was seen on the street after the called meeting of the council had adjourned. He stated that he had not been notified of the called meeting.
 Speaking of the Jonesboro aldermanic muddle he said: ''The seven members of the Bessemer council who met in caucus and agreed upon two men to represent the new ward believed and believe yet that they were doing the best thing for the municipality that is soon to be an- nexed, and also for Bessemer proper. We had expected. and some of us had perS sonally advised the people of Jonesboro to hold a primary on the same date as their annexation election and select two aldermen to represent them. This was not done, howeevr, for the reason, as stated to me tonight by a prominent citizen of that town. who was opposed to coming in, that the governing body did not believe the election would result in annexation. The members of our council recognized that an election was the only means ot ascertaining the wishes of the people, and that there is now not sufficient time to hold a primary. Therefore, we tried to select two good men ourselves. We did not forget, either, that the two men we selected would not only govern Jones' boro, but would also help to govern all of Bessemer as we'll. We selected two men who have not been identified with either of the factions which have con tended for supremacy there for years past, but were conservative and sound busi- ness men, who, we thought, would be satisfactory to Jonesboro and to Bessemer also There are plenty of good men in Jonesboro, but we can only elect two to the board. We, therefore, selected Louis Hester, Sr, and Eugene Huey. l do not believe we could have picked two better men. Many citizens of the new ward have taken the trouble to tell me that our choice was good one, and I am confident of it myself.''
