call, nor can It be slipped on or off
like an old coat. 1t is established by
practice rather than theory. By ex-
ample more than by preeept.
The school savings banks are doing
a lot OF good, but there are not enough
of them. Even where such institu-
tions exist, parents cannot escape the
responsibility of teaching their boys
and girls to appreciate what money
means. When a girl arrives at the
age of IL or 13 years. she can we'll
begin to learn from her mother the
principles of wise buying, so that
eventually she will be of great as
sistance to her mother in the marketing
and other household purchases
Girls, as we'll as boys, should be en-
eouraged to earn money by real serv-
ice and both should early learn what
banks are for and how money grows
when ii is planted in the right soil.
SO to speak.
There is broader aspect of this
subject because If our children are not
trained in the principles of thrift our
nation as whole will suffer for 1t
later on. Germany, France and Bel
gium are educating the young to save
in sensible manner, and are finding
that great additions are being made
thereby to the national wealth.
The exampe of these older nations
do well to follow in this country.
do we'll to follow inthiscountry.

way, He Declares

That model highway extending from
Birmingham to Montgomery was a Ger
tainty in the Immediate future, was
statement last night by w. S. Keller, state
highway commissioner.
Montgomery is deeply interested in
the project" stated the commissioner
shortly after his arrival, and Birming-
nam is interested. Along the route, the
people are interested. Therefore, we will
have a model automobile highway in the
near future connecting the states chief
center with the capital.
Good roads sentiment in the statr Is
rampant AS a result of our tour Of
some time ago, We are prepared to repre-
sent to the legislature just what should
be done in regard TO building roads, and
where the highways should be extended.
There is little doubt but that the legis-
lature we believe, will make the neces-
sary appropriations.
Alabama is fast forging to the front
in regard to good roads construction, and
within the next five years, there should
be in every county OF the state, an ex-
cehehl system IN the past sooo iodd9
were considered necessary only to the
farmer. Now the man of the city is
equally as much interested. With the
farmer and automobile owner united in
the effort, there is nothing that can check
the progress
Mr.. Keller, as is known. recently com-'
pleted an inspection tour of the state
in which he drove an automobile into
every county, and over any road that
presented itself. He made careful and
comprehensive study of the situation and
of conditions. and will make his report
to the Legislature in its next session In
the meantime. the state at the present
is getting exceedingly busy, and much
construction in every section is in prog
ress.

Il feel certain the brewing interests to
great extent know this, for Mr. Sher-
man raised $1,000 from the brewing inter
ests and gave 1t to MIR. Casson to help OUT
in this fight; so that is the reason wrote
you to get Mr.. Bartholdt busy, for Bar
tholdt knows what Judge Jenkins has
done for his people at the last Session of
Congress, and If they let him go down
they will be more to blame than our peo-
pie will be-"
Senator Stephensons was one of those
picked out to help finance the Jenkins
campaign. In another letter to Sehwedt-
man, Mulha1l said 1t had been proposed
by the jenkins managers that he 20 to
Stephenson land see if it would not DC
possible to get him to help finance the
campaign" A later letter said Senator
Stephenson promised TO send $1,000 to Jen-
kins to help him out"
Solon l.. Perrin. whom AIulhall alleged
was the agent in Superior of Edward
Hines, was one of those mentioned as
personally directing Jenkins campaign.
In letter to Schwedtman July s, 1905
Mulhall wrote that he told an inquirer
that the association was not IN SYM
pathy'' with Congressman Cooper of the
First Wisconsin district. and that Cooper
had always been fighting "our people in
and out of Congress-"
On July IA. 1908, Mulhall wrote 20

district beaten"

fered the western management of the Taft
campaign, but was determined that il he

On July II Former Representative
James E. Watson wrote to Schwedtman.
THE nomination of John w. Kern for
the vice presidency and the plank adopted
by the Denver convention on the ques-
ton In which you are much interested

not here set forth, make 1t imperative for
us to use all the means at our command
