COMMENDS COMER
 AS BUSINESS MAN

"ro the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 q shall vote for B. B. Conner as gov ernor because I have confidence in his ability as a business man.
 T am familiar with the record of MT. Comer's first administration and consider it one of the best Alabama has had in years. It was characterized by construc- tive work, the maintenance of law ana order, and sound economy in the expendi- ture of the states funds. The assertion that we may expect period of ''turbu- ience' in the event of Governor Conner s reelection will be accepted by no one who is familiar with the history of his first administration.
 Believing that Governor Conner is thor oughly competent to give Alabama an administration that will command the confidence of all the people and of every interest, l have no hesitancy in urging my friends to vote for him. Very truly yours, G. B. NJ MCORMACk.

 It is plain that our commercial trav- elers must travel further It is plain that the manufacturing skill and eauip ment to the north of us Is superior to ours. To the south of us it is diff ferent and inviting. We must cross the gulf. We must use the canal
 A prerequisite for this is that our salesmen must speak the language of the country we propose to invade A Knowledge of Spanish or Portugese is easily acquired. A knowledge of Span ish is preferred. A Spanish school should be established in Birmingham The city and our manufacturers should lend 1t assistance. Given a good teach CT and competent assistants it would succeed.
 Latin young men selected by our consuls from best families should be brought here, welcomed, educated and trained in our ways and language while we profit by learning their ways and language. The influence of these young men in our favor on re- turning to their homes would be incal- culable
 Politeness personal acquaintance sentiment and tolerance are dominant factors with the Latin as price is with us. The Latin hates cold business as we do the flnesse of diplomacy. Our salesmen should be taught a tolerance of Latin customs which are and will ever be different from ours They should be taught to avoid criticisms or even the discussion of politics, re- ligion or matrimony.

Capitol Draped in Mourning

SaPItoi AA0PCu HI VAOuAuNS
 The first act of the governor when he learned of Judge Jones' death was to order the state flag 10 be hung at half mast and to direct that the capitol building be draped in mouring. By a proclamation issued after midnight the executive ordered that all the capitol offices be closed on the day of the funeral.
 In issuing his proclamation the gov ernor paid high and worthy tribute to Judge Jones.
 "When the scroll which contains the great names of the men ot Alabama is unrolled there will be none that will occupy higher or nobler place than Thomas Goode Jones'" said the governor.

REPUBLICAN EXTRAV ANCE
AND DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY
New York Sur. !

Inc" OTk Sun.
On June 19. 1910, the Hon. John
j. Fitzgerald, the present chairman of
the House committee on appropria-
tions, said in the House in a speech
which was circulated as a Democratic
campaign document:
Controlling both houses by sub
stantial majorities the responsibility
for the appropriations belongs to the
Republicans. Try as they may, they
cannot be other than 'wasteful. ex-
travagant inefficient. There
can be no hope for any reductions
from the Republican party. The best
interests of the county and the people
demand a Democratic House. In no
other way can expenditures be brought
back to their normal level. taxes lev
led and collected for the sole pur-
pose of defraying the legitimate ex-
penses of the government economi-
cally administered"
Well, the Democrats have not only
the House but the Senate and the Ex-
ecutive. On September IL, 1914, Mr..
Fitzgerald admitted in the House that
the appropriations of the present ses-
sion, S1,0S9, 40S, ,777.26, are the highest
yet reached, a leap of nearly $4,000
1000 over the skyscraping figures of
last year.
The voters of the United States,
pinched worse than ever by the cost of
living and the disturbance of business,
themselves compelled to economy, see
their government more wildly waste
full than ever before.
