Developments Will Point Out
Much Needed Legislation
for Next Legislature
WILL EXTEND TO
ALL DEPARTMENTS
Officials at Capitol Feel Much Sympa-
thy for Governor and Believe
That He Is Victim. of
Faulty Laws
by L. s. BETTY

Montgomery, March 2f.-(Specia1.)-
That the present sweeping investigation
of the state convict. department will re-
suit in bringing about a more systematic
administration of the states business by
the various other departments at the cap
itol is the opinion of a large number Of
people who have kept IN touch with the
convict probe since its beginning.
Not only will the convict department
probe produce this result, 1t is claimed,
but it Will also have the effect of pointing
out some much needed legislation to the
next body of law makers, who will as
semble at the capitol to make laws for the
government of the state.
Inadequacy of Laws
Inadequacy of the present laws with REL
erence to the administration of the states
business is declared to be responsible
for the heavy defa1cations of the convict
department, the opinion prevailing that
had officials of that department been
under bond it would have been impossible
for the state to have lost any money.
SO apparent has the need of bonding
state officials Become during the past two
weeks that there is every indication that
no one will run for a public or state Of
flee in the future who will not first pledge
himself to place not only himself under
bond, but even the employees of his de-
rartment, particularly those who have
anything to do with the handling OF
money.
Feel Sympathy for O'Neal
Officials at the capitol feel the keenest
possible sympathy for Governor O'Neal
in his present troubles, and they applaud
the stand he has taken with reference to
the investigation of the convict depart
ment. None of the officials feels that the
governor can be held in the remotest sense
responsible for the msmanagement OF
the affairs of a single department. II re-
spon sibility is to be laid at anyone's door,
the opinion prevails that 1t should be at
tributed to those who failed to enact suf-
ficient laws for the government of do
partments of state.
None of the officials feel that the gov
ernor, with his excessive duties of state,
and with the many arduous tasks which
he has to perform as the chief executive,
has any possible way of keeping in close
touch with the numerous other offices In
the capitol, hence In his present troubles
their feeling for the governor is one of
strong brotherhood, and an intense desire
to assist him in whatever way possible In
relieving the present deplorable situation

OAKLEY PLANTATIONS IN
SHELBY ARE ATTACHED
BY L. s. BETTY

Montgomery, March 21.-(Special) -
was made here today
that two large plantations owned by
James @. Oakley In Shelby county, have
been attached for the state by ]. r..
Allen, sheriff of that county. The two
plantations are said to be very valuable,

known, Oakley's holding in Bibb countH
are large, though it is not supposed
that his total estate will be worth mo1g
than $50, 900 or 100000. 1t was first 1e-
ported that Oakley was worth in the
neighborhood of 100000, but this has

central plains states. 1t has caused
fall in temperature of from A to 80
degrees throughout the plains states
and the eastern half of the Mississippi
valley north of the Ohio river. 1t has
also caused a general clearing of the
weather over the entire central basin.
While rain has fallen during the past
"a hours over nearly all of the coun-
try east of the Rockies, at p. m. fair
skies prevailed west of the Allegheny
mountains.
In the southern states temperatures
have risen slightly east of the Missis-
sippi river while over western Sec
tions the weather is decidedly colder.
Northerly winds prevail over all In
terror sections and there will be fall
in temperature over most OF the cot
ton belt during the next "a hours. In
this section conditions seem favorable
for fair and colder weather Saturday
and Saturday night Easter Sunday
should be generally fair and warmer.

IMPEACHMENT TALK is
NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY 7
BY HUGH ". ROBERTS

Montgomery, March 21.-(specia1.)-As
far as the people of this city are con-
cerned, there has been no serious cogni-
zance taken of the rather puerile effort
to secure an extraordinary session of the
legislature for the specific purpose Of
bringing impeachment proceedings
against Governor ONeal.
Inssmuch as the effort to arouse the
anger of the members of the legislature
has come from certain political enemies
of the governor. and especially from that
faction which Blended itself in support OF
prohibition and the leaders OF that politi-

PROCEEDS OF CONVICTS
CAN BE USED ON ROADS

But after long consideration the clause
was permitted to stand with the amend
ment that the hire from convict labor
might be appropriated for the purposes OF
god roads. 1t was considered in other
words very probable that day labor could
be employed for good roads purposes at
jected to in taking its convicts from the
mines, followed by a loss of revenue, and
necessitating a great financial drainage
in the upkeep and safeguarding Of felons.
ITO remove the convicts from the mines,
therefore. it viii be necessary for the peo-
pie to adopt an amendment to the con-
stitution, for it is now definitely provided
that the state cannot engage In the en-
terprise of internal Improvement although
it is provided that the funds Of the con-
Wet department. or a certain amount Of
that fund, might be dedicated to the con.
struction of model hignvays"

REMOVAL FROM MINES

Capt Reuben f. Kolb, commissioner of
agriculture and a candidate for the guber-

day that he had always favored taking tie
convicts out of the mines and putting
them to the labor of road construction.
"A plank to that effect was a car

stated the captain yesterday. "and in
the next campaign that identical plank
was contained.

4 SPADE Is A SPADE.

There are two kinds of competition
in our commercialism tOday-fair and
unfair; the first is constructive and
progressive. the last is destructive and
an affront to the good judgment of a
buyer.
1t often occurs that physician adj
vice is thwarted and patients prog
ress retarded nv an unthinking drug
clerk who succeeds in substituting a
preparation of questionable potency or
ingredients for one of recognized and
known value 1t is, indeed, a serious
offence and one which should be
promptly rebukcd by every Intelligent
person.
A conspicuous instance is the sub
stitutiOn of inferior emulsiOns OF cod
liver oil for the tried and proven med
ical worth of SCOTS Emulsion, which
physicians know contains a standard,
superior grade of cod liver oil, and is
not contaminated with alcohol or
Opiate of anv sort. These substitutes
are often compounded by unscientific
process, in insanitary places and exist
only by the unfair brand Of competition
which trades on the popularity and
proven value of a really mCritOriOus
article
1t is high time for tEe intelligence
of BUYERS to assert itself and know
when 2 spade is a spade.
