WHERE IS HOBSON?
S|bLEY WOULD KNOW
Naval Committee Consider
ing Expenditure of $143,-
100000 for Warfare

The committee on naval affairs is con-
eidering the recommendation of its sub
committee that the nation spend $14s,O
900 in the way OF preparing for war.
Capt. R. P. Hobson. a member of this
committee, is in Auburn campaigning for
the Senate.
In this regard John w. sibley, the well
known resident of Birmingham. writes
THE Age-HeraId from Atlanta as follows:
To the Editor of The-Herald:
b It is very generally conceded that
Captain Hobson is an expert authority
on naval affairs.
In the press dispatches today 1t is
stated that the subcommittee on naval
affairs in the House has completed
its draft Of the naval appropriations
bill, involving an expenditure of s14s.-
100000, and will report same to the
full committee today. Captain Hob
son is a member of this most impor-
tant committee. viii he or his cham
pions kindly and satisfactorily explain
to the public why he has wilfully and
persistently absented himself from the
sssions of this committee, which he
was so anxious to be a member of
that he declined the Craftsmanship of
the committee on education?
He evidently considers it more i'm
portant to his own personal welfare
to be ION the stump in Alabama than
ION the job at Washington, to see
whether the vast sum of money for
warfare is fully justified and wisely
appropriated.
Fortunately for the whole country,
this bill will be carefully scanned by
the House leader before it is passed,
as he is always on the job. That is
why the people of Alabama are going
to send Oscar w. Underwood to the
Senate by a landslide majority.
Yours respectfully.
JOHN w. SHELLEY.

The Prohibition Issue

For four more pages, DR.. Hicks
writes. He discusses Hobson from every
angle. He declares that the captain is
not in sympathy with the democratic
party, and attempts to prove his con-
tentfon by the record. He refers to GER
tain which seem to him to indicate a
tain which seem ohm to indicate a
trend towards social equality" He de-
clares that prohibition is an Issue Of
expediency and would not have been
injected but for the fact that Hob
son wanted votes" He refers to the
fact that in the previous campaign, in
order to aid in the election of John II.
Ban<head, Captain Hobson withdrew
his support from Capt. Frank S. White,
prohibtionist.
He expresses the opinion that Mr..
Underwood as the first lieutenant of
President Wilson has ably discharg ed
great public duties, and has not only
become an International character, but
has reflected great glory on Alabama
and the other states of this section
He expresses the opinion that were
Alabama to defeat Underwood, Alabama
would justly subject itself to the ridi-
cule of the entire country.
This remarkable letter is concluded
with expressions of continued warm
friendship for DIR. Mobley.

Captains Election Would
Justify Ridicule of Nation,
He Writes MObley
FEW MORE UNFIT
FOR THE SENATE"
Ranks But Little Above Joke With
Hundreds of Able Men Selected
From All Parts of
the Country"

"Were we 10 elect Hobson. who has
no national following or Influence In
Congress and Is generally regarded
cgofism and an unboundcd ambition,
we would justly subject ourselves to
the ridicule of the nation"
DIR. r. V. Mobley caught a Tartar In
DR.. L. o. Hicks.
DR.. Mobley is one of the Hobson
leaders in jefferson county. DR.. Hicks
is a prominent physician of Jackson,
and is ardent in his support of the
democratic leader.
DIR. Mobley wrote to DIR. Hicks en-
deavoring to secure his support of the
senatorial candidacy of Captain Hobson.
DR.. Hicks declined to give that sup
port, and took the liberty, on account
OF his friendship for DIR. Mobley, to ex-
press himself very freely in regard to
the captain and his opponent.
In part, he writes:
One Specific Statement
"A recent mail brings commun-
cation addressed and signed by
you but the body Is printed 1t is
eNiueul lIdl lniS is "a circular ietleT
prepared by Captain Hobson him
self. Ordinarily L would not notice
this letter, but my personal esteem
and friendship for you induces me
to make this effort to convince you
that in supporting Captain Hobson
you are making a grave error and
doing your own good self serious
injustice. In my opinion. 1T would
be difficult to select any intelligent
Albanian more untitled for the
Senate than Captain Hobson, and
his letter, which you have in
dorsed, goes to prove this.
The one specific statement con-
tained in this letter is that Hob
sons peer as statesman, diplomat
and leader in thought is not to be
found In any country today. OF
course this means that he is the
greatest man in the world. Imme-
diately following this remarkable
declaration is this-'Captain Hob
sons humility, knowledge and de-
votion to duty combined with abil-
ity and achievement of necessity
callS him for leadership What
manner or man Is 1t who in
one breath procla1ms himself the
greatest of all living, men, ami in
the next declares that his humility
call him for leadership; who boasts
of devotion to duty in the face of
a record which discloses that he is
seldom in his place in the House;
who refers to his achievements
when his record as a legislator is
almost blank; who hears a call for
leadership, when he ranks but lit
tie above joke with the hun
dreds of able men selected from all
parts of the country to make up the
national Congress?
II do not think that you believe
Captain Hobson is the greatest of
all living men, and 1 suspect you
recognize his intense egotism and>
know of his neglect of his duty at
Washington. But you have been at
tracted by the glamor of his dram
attic power, and have failed to sub
1ect him and his record to that
sound logical examination of which
you are capable. As a result. you
indofse as your own his extrava-
giant praise of himself"

HIS GRAFT IS GOOD ONE

One of the smoothest forged check
deals that has been pulled off in Keo-
kuk for some time was pulled this
morning by a stranger In the city. The
police have his description and are
looking for the man, and will arrest
him If he has not already gotten out
OF the city. The deal is a brand new
one and seems Plausible.
A.out IL O'Clock this morning man
called at the boarding house at COL
High street, kept by Mrs. C. e. King
and asked to rent room. He was
shown a room which suited him, and
said he would take it, and wanted to
pay two weeks room rent in advance.
He gave his name as Charles Smith.
The man rendered Mrs. King a
check for So on H. Z. Alton. The room
rent amounted to $3.50 and she gave
him his change which was two and a
half dollars. The new boarder then
said he would go and get his wife
hour passed and he did not come back
Mrs. King became suspicious and no.
titled the police.
The check was dated August II and
was written with an indelible pencil
and was written on Keokuk Nation
al bank check The number Of
check was five. The Endorsement
ment was written in plain black
lead pencil. A comparison of the
name on the check with the indorse
ment showed plainly where the man
to disguise his hand. The
check was signed by II. E. Alton and
was plainly forgery, the police say.
The man is described as being
about five feet, six inches tall, smooth
face, dark complexion, between 35 and
40 years of age, stout build, wears a
black SLOUGH hat, light shirt, dark
tro3ers and carried a yarn jacket
over his arm.
The police are on the lookout for
the man. In the meantime thsy
warn people against dealing with tl.s

THOSE INTERROGATION POINTS.

THOSE INTERROGATION POINTS.
In his recent address to the Vir-
ginfa editors, President Wilson said
to those shoulders of public opinion,
when our trust program Is finished,
it is finished; the Interrogation points
are rubbed off the slate, business is
given its constitution Of freedom and
is hidden go forward under that con-
stitution."
Here are some interrogation points
that can be rubbed of fright now;
The balance sheet Of the department
of commerce shows that for April and
May the balance Of trade against the
United States was 1927 ,453, $50. The
total imports for May were S163,637,-
3S6. For May, 1913, they were $780,
an increase under the Under
wood bill Of s92,913,673. The total
exports in May, 1914, were
S157, 406,572, a decrease of $33.649,-
22S compared with the month Of May.
1913. Taking exports and imports
together the loss to our commerce for
the month Of May, this year, amount
to $63,526,90I, as compared with 1913.
These figures take whole punches of
points off the slate.
Our gold has left us to the extent
of s53,OOO,OO0 in less than sixty days,
and for the first time since the Cleve-
land administrations, our foreign
creditors have been dumping our Sc
curities back upon us.
