FA|RWEW ID HAVE
 NEW FIRE STATION
Purchase of Lot Authorized by City Commission
 Yesterday

The city commission yesterday au- thorized the purchase of a site for fire station at Fairview and President Exum was empowered to complete the transac- tion. The site selected is on the Besse- mer boulevard and is a corner lot, 70x140 feet. The location Is admirably situated as it is central to all the territory be- tween Osceola and Palmer station. The establishment of a fire station at this point will prove of inestimable value to the residents of F'alrview, Ensley High lands and adjacent territory, and 1t is un- derstood will make a considerable differ ance in the fire insurance rates. One of the most indefatigable workers for the establishment of fire station at this point was Charles Berg, who has given much of his time to secure the fire sta tion for Fairview.

ROOSEVELT FALL BEGAN YESTERDAY DATE OF WATERLOO Senator Bailey Says a Bully Will Not Fight Really
 Courageous Man IS TRYING TO BLUFF
 HIS WAY THROUGH Underwood Hat in Corridors of Ma tional House Attracts Attention
 of Speaker Clark-Early
 Baltimore Arrivals
By C. F. STEWART

Washington, June 1S.-1Special.)- The House of Representatives today looks like an overflow crowd at the funeral of an unpopular cltizen-there is no one there
 Ninety-seven years ago today Ma poleon met disastrous defeat at Water loo. will the modern Napoleon of poll | itics "get his1 today in Chcago2 is the question here.
 Senator Bailey thinks so. T believe that there is likely to be q riot in Chicago" said the senator but Roose- welt will not be in it. He may have personal courage, but I question that he has on big issues of this nature
 You can always notice it that the bully, the bravado. the swashbuckling all round bad man who is always running over people generally picks out the fellow to run over, but when he goes up against a cool, calm, courageous opponent whom he knows will fight back and will not timidly give away without striking a blow in re turn, then the bully usually side-steps. That's Roosevelt.
 If he can bluff his way into the nomi- nation," said the senator, he will do so, and he may be able to put it over on them in Chicago. The environments are all favorable to Roosevelt. and if he can incite the mob to reckless deeds to con summate his ends, he will do it. but if he fails to accomplish his purpose by these methods, he will quiet down and take his medicine, as is the course of all bullies"
 Discussing the negro delegates at the Chicago convention today a prominent democrat declared:
 "The negroes brought. about the birth of the republican party and it now ap- pears that they are going to bring about it's death.
 If those forty negro delegates bring about the nomination of Roosevelt it will be a great blow to the party, espec- ialy as they have been instructed for Taft. It will also lose to the colored race what respect there remains in the country for their political integrity" which we might say in passing is prec- ious little.
 A few early arrivals for the Baltimore convention are drifting into Washington. ! John R. T. Rives. of Birmingham, assist ant sergeant-at-arms of the Baltimore convention was caller on Representa- tive Underwood today and he was con- l spicuous m his new Underwood hat which attracted great deal of atten- ton, and got a look-over from Speaker l Clark who passed him in the corridor of the house.
 1 But Baltimore and the democratic lead- CTS are simply resting on their oars and waiting for the "folies of June, 1912," to be finally completed at Chicago.

Outside Misinformation.
(Brunswiek RecOrd.)


In brief discussion of the cam
paign in Maine the Boston Post points
out the strength of the Democratic
position. and says They elected two
of the feur Congressman, two years
ago; the death of William p. Frye
gave them a representative in the
United States Senate, and they have
reformed the antiquated and illiberal
liquor law of their State" This is in
teresfing in its showing of a wonder
full lack of information. The Boston
Post surely ought not to ignore the
election of Charles F.. johnson to the
United States Senate by the Demo-
easily be overlooked? And where did
the Post get the idea that the Demo-
Gratis had reformed our liquor law
True they did their best TO overthrow
Constitutional prohibition, and Gov
ernor Plaisted went SO far as to call
special session of the Legislature to
see what could be done about opening
saloons in the cities, after a majority
had voted to retain the prohibitory
law. The Post may fippantly refer
to our laws as antiquated and illiber-
nj, hut It is still the law in spite of the
Democratic victory two years ago. We
must admit that the law is very poor
~ enforced and yet conditions in no
Maine city are half SO bad as can be
found in some of the license cities of
Massachusetts.

At Parsonsfield State Auditor Stew
ems made an attempt to squirm out OF
the hole into which he had been put
by Mr.. Callahan's analysis of the
State finances. Mr.. Callahan" said
he, "purports TO show that the Fernald
administration had funds on hand and
in uncollected tax, on January l. 1911.
to pay all the Fernald bills and the
expenses of the present administra
ton for 1911. without assessing a tax
But that is not what Mr.. Callahan
said at all. What he said was this:
Had not dollar of State tax been
levied by Plaisted's administration for
the year 1911, the receipts from State
tax Tor 1910 and the corporation taxes
OF 1911 would have paid all the bills
that Plaisted's administration paid in
1871, including the leftover bills. and
had $129.125.S4 in the treasury Jan /,
1912"
And he proved it, too. Mr.. Stevens
leaves out the corporation taxes Of
1911. He omits them entirely from the
consideration. 1t was big item. Mr..
Callahan is too careful and too expert
an accountant to make rash state

from State tax over s2,i00.000 moro
