WANT INSPECTOR.
FOR ENSLEY ALONE
Building Inspector Needed,
Say Real Estate Men
PURSE is SNATCHED
Mrs. w. A. Spencer the Victim-Dr.
Cunningham Will Make State
ment Regarding His Reported
Candidacy for Congress
PURSE Is SNATCHED

An effort is being made by the real
estate dealers of Ensley and vicinity
to have the city commissioners appoint
special assistant building inspector
to look after the new buildings in Ems
ley, Fairfield. Wylam. Tuxedo and
Pratt City. and to that end they have
offered to provide an office for the
assistant inspector in the event he
should be appointed without charge to
the city.
They say that much delay in the con-
struction of buildings arises from the
fact that they have to go to Birming-
ham about every little matter that may
come up and that in consequence of the
many duties of Building Inspector
Mathews and his force 1t Is not always
convenient for an inspector to come,
hence the delay in the building.
Mr. Mathews has been invited to meet
with the real estate dealers and dis
cuss the proposition and then the mat
ter will be formally presented to the
city commissioners. Those having the
matter in charge contend that the
change would prove beneficial to the
city as well as to the builders and con-
tractors

Poincare and BRAND.

Frances new Premier, Aristide
BRAND, is a powerful man who has
been at the helm before, and beside
whom all but very popular President
must be mere fgurehead. In France,
as we have elucidated before, the Presi-
dent proposes and the Premier dis
poses. This has been so since the early
days OF the present republic, when
Theirs had it in his power to make a
President of stronger pattern, but
failed to do so.
Fal1ieres, the retiring Executive, has
made no impression upon oontempo-
raneous history, except through his
Premiers; but Poincare, the President
elect, is a man of different mettle, ac-
customed to activity and authority, and
better liked all around than probably
any head of the republic since Mac
Mahon's time. However, it has been
the rule that vigorous French Presi-
dents get out of office in short order.
1t would be good thing for France
if more Brands could be in power to
promote progressive measures while
keeping the wild-eyed radicals in con-
troll

CAPITAL BANKER
DEFENDS MORGAN
Milton E. Allies Replies to Criticism
of the -Financier's Methods
During Panic.

Appearing before the House Commit
tee on Expenditures in the Treasury
Department during the hearings on the
bill providing for competitive bidding
by banks on government deposits, Mil
ton z. Allies. vice president of the Riggs
National Bank, engaged in a strong de-
fense Of the course pursued by ]. p.
Morgan and his allied interests during
the panic of 1907.
The discussion was precipitated when
Chairman Cox remarked that, from his
information, Secretary Of the Treasury
George B. Cortelyou had dumped about
s300O0.0o0 into the hands OF Morgan dur
ing the panic. and that Morgan had
made several millions out of it.
II do not think that Is correct" de-
clared Mr.. Allies. Il do not think Mr..
Morgan made anything by way OF profit
during tho panic. He was actuated sole
ly by a desire to save the business in
terests and the country from a disas-
trous period of depression, as was Mr..
Cortelyou. The acts OF Mr.. Morgan and
Secretary Cortelyou never should he for
gotten by the country. They restored
confidence and paved the way for the
unlocking OF the banks which We're hold
ing tight to their reserves. Secretary Cor
telyou placed the money in the national
banks. as he is permitted to do by law.
but, OF course, he acted in consultation
with Mr.. Morgan"
Mr.. Allies told the committee that he
personally disapproved OF any plan
whereby the government would charge
interest on deposits in various banks.

THE OPEN FORUM
Justice for Women.

To the Editor: The sarcastic reference
TO The New MLrching Woman" in
your paper of Monday. coming as II
does from a teacher OF reputation. de-
serves a little attention from those who
stand for justice TO all concerned. or
course. the ideal woman OF the past
who brought forth excellent children
needs no monument to perpetuate her
memory. Children Of the character men
toned are the most magnificent monu-
ment that can he produced. The veiled
attack on woman's suffrage. however.
brings to mind the objection that has
always been offered to a departure
from the ordinary methods in vogue.
Every progressive movement has had its
enemies. Slavery as an institution was
tolerated for centuries without much
protest and woman has been down trod-
den for centuries for the simple reason
that they were too weak to demand
their rights. To-day, however, diff
ferent spectacle presents itself. Women
have freed themselves from the shackles
of conservatism, which made them poor,
dependent. and pitfable creatures for
generations and have entered various
lines of business with astonishing sue
cess. Many of them have ac-
cumulated wealth in various professions
and are forced to pay taxes on their
possessions without representation. This
principle long ago was decided as un-
Just with reference TO the male Sex.
Women are fighting for their rights and
history proves beyond all reasonable
doubt that justice is attained by this
method of procedure alone. That is
why we erect monuments to our mill
tary heroes. They risked their lives
for the privileges that we now all en-
joy. Women do not need TO take up arms
to gain their rights as citizens OF this
republic. but they do need to assume
determined attitude and bring the mat
ter squarely and fairly before the men
who hold the upper hand in such mat
ters, and no method is better suited TO
arouse public sentiment than ito march"
in imitation of the soldiers Of all times.
who have won in the battles for justice
and freedom.
