McAlester Talks.

McAlester, Okla, Aug. 4.-Col. j.
J. McAlester, the lieutenant governor
discussed today the action of Gov.
Cruce in revolling orders made by him
Saturday. He said in part:
81 may be 'Mr. McAlester' today.
but was Gov. McAlester Saturday,
and talked to Mister Lee Cruce' over
the telephone at the golf links in
Kansas City, where he was playing.
1t was my duty, made so by the con-
sttution, to act as governor of Ok
lahoma when Gov. Cruce was out OF
the state.
That Gov. Cruce was grossly dis
courteous to me is plainly shown by
his leaving the state without notify
ing me and attempting to keep his
absence a secret. His office force
was discourteous and attempted 10
keep me from acting as governor.
The records were locked up and tie
clerks left.
''In reply to the expression of sym
pathy on the part of the governor,
merely say that if showing sympathy
for those who are suffering if mercy
for little children and careworn wives
is weakness, l have been weak all
my life and I thank God for it."
Asked about the school board con-
tracts he said: 81 did that because
there are thousands of children in this
state involved in the issue, the pub
lie schools being drawn into a squab-
BILE between Gov. Cruce and other
departments. l suppose Gov. Cruce
didn't like what did up there Satur-
day. Anyway, he talks like it don't
suit him. But l want to say to him
and to every other man in Oklaho
ma that I always do what I think
ought to be done. There are men
still living who know that as young
man and during the dangers of war,
never shirked a duty or feared to act;
and there are men living here who
know that during the trying days in
the early settlement of this country
| was not a coward.

this morning that he was going TO
assist the city physician in his labor5

had to fine every property owner III

that there is a great deal of sickness
in the city at present and much can
be avoided by observing a few simple
rules C'f sanitation. The mayor says
he may have to teach many of his
constituents a lesson but he was 60
ing to do his duty and see what h.
could do toward making Ardmore
clean city.

Rivalry in Land Opening

Dodge City, Kan, Aug. 4.-EX-
cepting a few disputes over differ
ences in watches and rival claims
that will be settled later, a large
crowd of settlers this morning swoop-
ed down upon the 10000 acres Of
government land in Hamilton county
and staked out their plats good natur-
edly.
There was no signal for the run
as is usually the custom at these
openings. The homesteaders simply
stood on private land near the lines
until 8 o'clock. At that hour they
stepped over the boundary and start
ed work. Each man was governed
only by his own watch.
On many sections two, three and
enrtoifr A aPAtOin5s$. sS9O$. .0s..
four entries were made. Some
charge their rivals crossed the boun-
dary before the proper time. The
charges all were made peacoably,
however, and will be settled by of
ficials of the fedaral land office.
Settlers cannot file on their claims
until September 3. They will have
a month in which to make improve
ments.
The big tract that was opened to-
day formerly was held by the gov
nrnmnnt as a fnrestrY reserNe.

The victim of a terrible appetite,
his business vanished, his family dis
srpateI the last remnant o. manhood
once full of hope and blessed with
health, he is indeed an object of pity

given what relief is possible and
proper treatment administered at the
state institution Last night he was
found lying in a stall at a local wagon
yard by a couple of gentlemen who
notified the police of his condition

A lengthy and voluminous brief in the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad COM
pany rate case was filed by the COM
pany with the state railroad commits

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Alabama's Future Capital

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
Birmingham, Ala, to be the worlds
greatest: / venture to prophecy, there
are millions now living who will soon
see this favored city the most powerful
without resorting to that policy, which
is always dangerous though some
times unavoidable on the part of less
favored cities that are hopelessly dead
because of unlimited bonded debts which
they can never be able to pay
Yes, the world will soon see Birming
ham the capital of the greatest state in
all Ameica-the great state of Alabama,
with her golden harvests waving over
fields of immeasurable extent, her COM
merce penetrating the most distant seas,
and our mighty Birmingham Ala, silenc-
ing the vain boasts of London England.
But, my fellow citizens, in order to
accomplish this and all other great ana
important undertakings of like character,
you must have men--you cannot get along
without honest, industrious and COM
petent men.
Those heavy forests of valuable tim
materials and transported to Birming-
ham over her many railways, whence
the world will be supplied.
Those vast mineral riches which cover
the face of the earth around Birming-
ham, as well as those which lie hid in
the bosom of all jefferson and other adj
joining counties, are to be developed and
gathered only by the skill and enterprise
of true men. You need men to harvest
those great crops, under which Alabama's
productive lands are yearly groaning.
Then, Birmingham must have more COM
mercial men and commercial capital. to
supply farmers, to take off their pro-
ductions and find the best market for
them abroad.
Your greatest want is, the want of
many millions more such enterprising and
hustling men as you who have thus far
developed the boundless and unlimited
resources a Birmingham of which The
world may well be proud.
Such men you must have, and such
men you will have speedily, If you only
carry out the advertising policy of the
Birmingham Ad club.
Open your mighty doors by means of
all forms of honorable and truthful ad-
vertising: tell them what you have for
them superior to what they now have,
and they viii come In faster than the
fastest of the most fast. The population
in many parts of the world is full 70
overfiowing with men who have money
and men who can build cities and de-
yelop a country almost in the twinkle
of an eye; men who are continually op-
pressed by government under which they
live to such extent as that they have
no place TO invest their money and de-
Velop for themselves a country such as
they could and would like to do. Mil
lions of such business men are now stand
ing on the hills of time. looking tthrougi
spy glasses) toward Birmingham and the
state of Alabama, With wishful and long
ing eyes, from all parts of the world.
They see here a Birmingham and state
OF Alabama blessed by natural and po-
litical advantages which are not equaled
