roads may be put in same condition

II the legislature will put these rec
concentrations into a properly drawn
bill and pass it. Iowa will have made
long step forward in handling the
road question. Certainly the money
spent on the roads will be better spent
under competent supervision. says
Wallace's Farmer
These recommendations, however,
do not directly encourage a beginning
in the way of hard roads. 1t would
seem that this legislature should do
something in the way of stimulating
permanent road construction in those
sections where public sentiment is
ripe for 1t. No good will come from
trying to force good roads in COM
munities where the people are satis-
fled with dirt roads. But the state
can we'll afford to levy a one-mill tax
and spend the money to defray a por-
tion Of the cost of permanent roads
in communities in which the county
or municipality and the abutting land
owners will bear the greater proper
tion. Not a great deal OF permanent
road could be constructed In this way,
but enough to serve as an object les.
son. and this will be all that is neces.
sary. A one-mill tax would amount
to only 81 on each quartersection
farm. Surely the owner Of 100 acres
Of Iowa land ought to be willing to
contribute that much toward expert
mental hard roads. 1t seems SO much
worth while that we wonder that such
strenuous objection is made to II.

For Humanity's Sake

Birmingham has many institutions
that are noted for efficient work. One
of the newest and one of the most
serviceable is the University Free
Dispensary on Avenue F near the
corner of Twentieth street.
DR.. Lewis C. Morris, the dean of
the graduate school of medicine of
the University Of Alabama, is taking
an active, interest in this dispensary
and he is assisted by corps of finely
equipped and enthusiastic members
Of the medical profession.
In the few months that the free
dispensary has been in operation thou
sands of cases have been treated. 1t
is operated on thoroughly sys-
tematic plan. Records are kept with
great care. Indeed, the records of
Johns Hopkins could not be kept more
thoroughly than are the records here
in this University Free Dispensary.
And more noteworthy still is the deli
cate consideration which every pa
tient receives. Black and white, men
and woman, are accorded not only hu-
name attention, but their feelings are
considered as much as if the patients
were of wealth or social consequence
While the university free dispen-
sary has comfortable quarters in its
rented home, the demands upon the
institution are increasing rapidly and
a large building must be erected.
Across the avenue the medical college,
which is now part of the University
of Alabama as its graduate school,
has large vacant lot. 1t is estimated
that Suitable structure of brick and
concrete completely FURNISHED, would
cost about 100000. The building it
self would probably cost about $685.
900, but the equipment on modern
lines would cost fully $4,000.
Who will put up the 100000? 1t
may be assumed that this amount of
money for so laudable an enterprise
could be raised by popular subscrip-
ton, but it has been suggested that
some wealthy citizen might donate
the entire amount and have tie free
dispensary bear his name as an en-
during memorial.

Ever since the panic of 1907 the stories
attacking my own character. which orig
mated in financial centers that were hos

widening circles and with ever increas-
ing vrulence; and / made up my mind
some time ago that on the first occasion
when they were published in a paper of
sufficient standing to warrant my taking
action / would do so. Two or three papers
published them, but at once retracted
them. One paper which published them
and did not retract them 1 found on in
quiry was edited by an ex-IJnited States
senator, who, during my administration
had been indicted, convicted and sent to
prison for a criminal offense; and two
other newspapers proved on inquiry to be
sheets of such low character that a prose-
cution would probably have been bene-
fetal to them. / took action against the
first newspaper that published the charge
which was Of sufficient responsibility and

Prosperity This Summer

In the great wheat belts business
prosperity is already strongly in evil
dence. A banner crop always means
briskness and an increase of wealth
to the particular locality in which
large crops are harvested.
Agricultural reports for the whole
country have been favorable. A great
wheat crop is assured and the corn
crop will probably be equal to the
immense crop Of last year.
In the south cotton promises well.
Up to few years ago cotton was the
south's only important money crop"
but corn is being raised on a large
scale now and SO. too. is alfalfa.
During the past few years Alabama
has raised nearly all the corn that
