FIXING THE BLAME

From the Detroit Free Press.
''Auntie, when you were a young girl
We're you very pretty?"
Eyes, my child, very pretty"
"Were you POPULAR"
"Oh, yes, very popular l was the belle
of the neighborhood."
Didn't any young men ever come to
call on you?"
"Oh, yes, my dear. Lots of Them.
Then, auntie, why is it that you never
married?"
Nobody ever proposed to meg dear.
'Why not?"
81 don't know. But I've often thought
it must have been the high cost of living
that scared the young men Off in those

"AGNEs, SILL LIVES

From the London Daily Sketch.
1t is not generally known that the orig
inal FROM whom Dickens drew his inspira-
ton for Agnes in David Coppsrneld' is
still living. In a fiat just off the Cror1-
we'll road, in delightful early Victorian
atmosphere that is the real thing and not
achieved by a firm of skilful decorators.

trace in this gracious old lady the charm
that attracted Dickens, for Mrs. Hogarth
possesses the rare gift Of growing old
gracefully.

THE JUNIOR MEMBER SPEAKS

From Judge.
The several members of the family had
been telling what they would do IL they
owned the world. Mother would abolish
poverty. Father would provide absolute
justice for all. Sister Sarah would give
every woman the vote.
Finally the views of 1o-year-old Johnny
were sought
what 'ud l do If owned the world?''
said he. looking up from geography he
had been studying. "Well, I'll tell you
what I'd do. First I'd get old Atlas to
sign up two baseball teams among his
brothers and cousins; then I'd lay out a
diamond on the Desert of Sahara, put the
Rocky mountains around it for fence,
give the players the moon for a ball and
the north pole for bat and, say, maybe
I wouldn't sit on top of Pixies Peak
and see some ball game.

Crowd Coming in November

'"rhe State Land congress, which meets
here November 4, and 6, will draw a
large crowd" said former United States
Internal Revenue Collector J. o. Thomp-
son. 'In fact. have heard from va
rious parts of the state and am safe
in saying that the attendance at the
congress will be remarkably large.
Attractive programmes have been pre-
pared. Oscar w. Underwood will be
one of the speakers, and OF the six rail-
road presidents who will take part in
the congress at least three of them are
known to have talent as orators. Presi-
dent Finley of the Southern and the
Alabama Great Southern is one of the
best speakers in this country.
1.-THE land congress was organized in
Mobile a year ago, and much practical
good was accomplished at the beginning.
The constructive discussions on farm
ing have already borne fruit. The dis
cussions at the Forthcoming congress will
bear even greater fruit. Many important
meetings have been held in Birmingham
but the land congress will outrank all
of them in Importance.

"If the law against carrying con-

habit among a certain class in this
community is as bad now as it ever
was, if indeed it is not worse. The

be convicted and punished, a long step

police force When Birmingham's linn

according to the federal census taken

police force was then upwards of 200.
Since the census was taken Birming-
ham has increased in population ac-
cording to very conservative estimates
based on school population, to 175,000.
We need police force now of fully
$50 men. But at the present time we
have only 140, and there is talk of re-
ducing it to 112.
Every intelligent citizen appre-
ciates the difficulties the city commits
sion contends with on account of in
sufficient revenue, but there should be
a vigorous protest against any further
reduction of the force. There should be
concerted movement on the part of
the people in favor of a larger force.
ic cir C.
sion will find some way to increase the
force to at least IT'S men. An ample
police department would certainly go
far toward checking homicides within
the boundary lines of the CITY,"

Other changes are favored by many

Efforts will be made to bring about

Owen.
Democratic House Leader Underwood

would be disposed OF by the House be-
fore Monday.
A tentative agreement vas reached
late today between democratic and re-

GRAFT IN PANAMA

Washington. Dec. 18.-Charges of IT.
regularities in dealings between John
Burke, commissary for the
Panama canal work, and contractors
who have been furnishing supplies, arc
being Investigated by the government.
So far as the investigation has gone,
no loss to the government has been
revealed and the amount of money in
volved has not been determined.
Broadly. the department is investiga-
ting to determine whether he has re-
ce1ved commissions from contractors.
Maj. f. c. Boggs, the general pur-
chasing officer of the Panal canal
officers of the war department and
the canal commission regarding the
next step to be taken. 1t was stated to-
day that as the investigation into the
charges against Burke is still il pro-
CESS. to disclose the governments pur-
pose might defeat it's objects.
1t is admitted officially, however,
that for the last six months the inquiry
has been in progress, based on charges
preferred by Charles R. Walker, a for
mer subordinate of Burke's in the COM
mlssary department, alleging that his
superior officer was demanding and re-
ce1vlng large commissions froa per-
contracts for food and other supplies
Tor the ana workers. Also, it was
alleged that Burke had awarded con-
tracts to h Colon Import and Export
company, in which he was a stock
holder, and that he had proited at
least $4,000 from his operations. His
salary was $4,000 a year. Several i'm

rope.
Burke's work as commissary was
done entirely from the isthmus and 1t
was explained at the war department
that his operations were not directed
from the canal commission offices here.

purchases are believed to have totalled
somewhere between 5000, 900 and So

UNCLE SAM BUYING
IN WORLD MARKETS
Government Invites Bids FOR
Cloth for Uniforms Of
Enlisted Men.

Washington. Dec. 1s-Taking advan-
tage of reductions under the Under
wood tariff law, the navy has adopted
the general policy of purchasing sup
plies In the markets of the world in
stead Of only in the American market.
The latest call for bids put out by the
navy bureau Of supplies and accounts
is for 10000 yards OF dark blue cloth
for trousers, Jackets and caps for n
listed men.
While previous specifications for bids
for that material stipulated that
American wool must be supplied, In
this instance there is no stipulation.
Officials say the old tariff measure
practically eliminated foreign bidders.
The awarding OF one contract for
beef to Argentine packers several
weeks ago led to a substantial decrease
in the bids submitted by American
packers. M
