SADDLE HORSES
THRONGED STREETS
ALL DAY MONDAY
ADVERTISEMENT IN THE HER.
AID BROUGHT LARGE MUM.
Der TO THE CITY.
four SOLD One PARTY FOR 5000
Average Was Over 5000 For All
SaIes.-Best Display of Saddlers In
Years.-Many Mules on the Square
Changed Hands.

| Monday was as big a horse day as
first Monday was a mule day. West
Seventh street looked like the
Champs Elysees in Paris late in the
afternoon, or Rotten Row in London
when the nobility come out for their
canter from eight to ten in the
morning. 1t was an Inspiring sight
to witness the riders, mounted on
their elegantly gated and beautiful
ly shaped saddle horses, ride up the
broad avenue to High street and then
turn to come back to the court house,
showing all the gaits of their steeds.
The cause of all the outpouring OF
saddle horses seems to have been due
to an advertisement in The Herald
of last week, in which an Evansville
gentleman made known the fact that
he wanted to purchase four good rid
ing horses. There were several times
four here Monday in answer to the
advertisement. Mr.. Kinsbury, the
gentleman who inserted the notice,
soon found the number he wanted.
He bought four for 5000, an aver
age Of 1925 each. He stated that
rarely had he seen so many good
ones, and that it was not so much a
task to find the ones that he wanted,
as to pick out the ones to buy. He
shipped them out Monday night to
Mississippi, where they will be used
steadily on one of the largest cotton
plantations in that state. The quail
ty Of the horses exhibited was far
above the average. One gentleman,
who is quite an experienced horse
man, remarked that never had he
seen as many really first class horses
in the saddling line in Columbia. In
fact, there were a great many more
here than there were buyers to bid
for them. Consequently many own
ers rode home the horses that they
rode in Monday morning to SELL How
ever, quite few changed hands. The
prices were pretty high, and most of
the horses sold for over 5000 each.
Nearly all were simply saddlers, and
were not broken to drive. When this
is taken into consideration, the prices
should be regarded as pretty good.
Some mules were left over from I
last week, and at least fifty were to |
be seen around the square. There |
we're few buyers, and consequently |
few sales. There seemed to be little
demand for them.

 Colonel Mitchell says that as vote getter. municipal ownership is a good thing for the politicians but as a bust ness proposition it is rotten. 1t is q pity how the poor. ignorant voters are so habitually deceived by these poli- ticians, and on the other hand are so habitually guided and counselled only for their good by the paid representa- lives of the industrial corporations AS for myself, I believe the voters are capable of self government. Indeed I do not think 1t requires much wisdom for a populous community to decide whether 1t is better that 1t should have the exclusive control of it's water sup ply, or should pay a private monopoly grinding prices for such a prime neces- sity, especially when, as in Brming- ject to regulation but is its own mas ter.
 If Colonel Mitchell will turn his at tention to his own town of Gadsden and devote his civic pride and power to getting Gadsden out of the hole. which he says she is in, he might earn the gratitude of his own community, but the people of Birmingham think they have sufficient intelligence and local patriotism to run their own affairs in their own way. without the interference from any official of the Alabama Power company"

CURRENCY RELIEF
 MEASURE HELD UP
Wingo Declares Proposed Bill Should Go to Senate
 Banking Committee

Washington. August 15.--An effort to remove limitations imposed by the fed eral reserve on re-discounting by banks of acceptances, based on important ex- port btAiness, was delayed in the House today by Representative Wingo of Ar kansas. who declared the measure should be considered by the banking and cur rency committee.
 The bill probably will be put through early next week.
 Under the federal reserve act, member banks may re-discount with the federal reserve banks acceptances based on the exportation and importation of goods, having less than three months to run, provided the amount of such discounts at no time shall exceed one-half of the capital and surplus or the discounting bank. Members banks may discount for their customers similar acceptances run ming up to six months sight to the amount of one-half or their capital and surplus.
 The Glass bill authorizes the federal re- limitation as to the amount of acceptances to be re-discounted and would allow re- serve banks to re-discount six months ac- ceptances.
 With the disturbance caused by the European war, said Chairman Glass of the House banking and currency commit tee. it is desired by the> federal reserve board to facilitate in every possible way the exportation of cotton and grain. Or ganization committee of the new reserve syste uncovered the nJmber of banks grown who make speciality of financing the export trade which find it necessary to handle acceptances beyond the limita- tions of the reserve act as passed.
 Chairman Glass said he understood the new federal reserve system would be in operation in about 90 days.

MONROE DOCTRINE PRESERVES PEACE IN J. g., SAYS TEDDY
Progressive Leader Devotes Most of Political Speech to European Conflict.
 Scores Arbitration

Hartford, Conn. August 15.-Nearly half the political speech Col Theodore Roose- welt delivered tonight before the progres- sive state convention hero was devoted to a discussion of the cataclysm that has engulfed Europe in war. If the Monroe doctrine had not been steadfastly main- tained, he said, the United States, in all probability would have been drawn into the struggle.
 Africa south of the equator" he said, 'is being drawn into the fight, although without any interest in t. We would have been drawn in the same way if it had not been for the observance of the great principle the Monroe doctrine con- tains-the principle that this continent shall not be treated as a place for terri toriai aggrandizement by old world pow CTS.
 Doctrine Preserves Peace
 s'The peace of the western hemisphere largely depends on the preservation of this doctrine It is for this reason I feel that arbitration treaties now pend- ing in the Senate would, if adopted, be inimical to the interests of the United States and of peace Under the proposed treaties if as a result of this war, Dem mark or Holland should part with tne1r lands in the West Indies to some great old world power, or if at some future time Mexico should part with Magdalena bay to some old world power, we would be bound to join in the creation of a commis- sion to investigate all the matters at hand before we could take any action.
 Treaties Worthless
 within fortnight We would have had fresh proof of the utter worthlessness of treaties, of names signed to pieces of paper, unless backed by force, if power or interest demands this violation These proposed arbitration treaties would not be worth the paper on which they were written if any great military power thought it could violate them with impunity We would have bound our selves to wait year or so while our joint commission pursued it's weary courses of Investigation, and during that time an old world military power, if it desired to retain its new possessions, could make a Gibraltar of one of our West Indian islands, or of Magdalena bay and it could then defy us to turn it out save at the cost of war which might be as dreadful as any now raging"

KELLER ADDRESSES
 HIGHWAY ADVOCATES AT TTUSCALOOSAMEET
Speaks At Length On Road Building And Methods of Securing Good High
 ways

Tuscaloosa, August 15.-(Special.)-- w, S. Keller. state highway engineer, addressed a large meeting of citizens of Tusea- loosa and adjoining counties here today at the courthouse. Judge Bernard Har- wood presided at the meeting and made an introductory address in which he re- ferred to the strides which had been made in Alabama within the past decade in the matter of good roads.
 MT. Keller, who came here at the in vitation of a number of local citizens who are interested in the construction of high ways in this and adjoining counties spoke at length on road building and the best methods for securing good highways. He pointed out the errors which had been made in many counties in not keeping up the roads after they had been built and showed the advantage of construct ing permanent roads instead of trying to build only temporary highways. There has been a great increase in interest in good roads and many of the leading cit izens of the county are now trying to arrange for the issuance of a large amount of bonds to be used for road building. The working of convicts on the roads here has proved very satisfac- tory and many miles of permanent road have been built by convict labor Tus- caloosa county is at present co-operat- ing with a number of other west Ala bama counties in the construction of a highway from this city to Florence. At the meeting today a number of county officials of Fayette were present, hav- ing made the trip through the country in automobiles.
 The voters of Tuscaloosa will select a city commissioner four weeks from tomorrow to succeed s. H. Sprott whose term expires October l. With five can didates in the field, it is considered cer- tain that a second race will be neces- sary in order to make the election, a majority of the votes being required.
 The candidates are David l.. Foster, member of the city fire department; D. B. Robertson a merchant and former alder man, O. V. Crabtree. a lumber manu- facturer and former alderman; Sam w Friedman, clothing merchant, and A J. Roby. a clerk. Foster has made the most active campaign of any of the can didates up to the present time and is generally conceded to be a strong can didate. He is said to have a strong back ing amollg the labor men of the city and a majority of the railroad men are said to be supporting him. The friends of the other candidates claim strong support for their favortes and 1t is expected that each of them will make an active campaign for the next four weeks No issues have yet been injected into the race, the candidates simply making personal appeal for support
 A petition is being circulated and very generally signed here calling on the city commission to increase the license for tent and other itnerant shows to s250 per week.

Successful In New York


 Through a complete reorganization m the bureau of water register, the in- stallation of improved methods and procedures and the obtainment of in- creased efficiency in the work of the bureau, the revenue of the city was in- creased from over $105000O0 in 1909 to nearly $14,500,000 in the year 1911. This is a stupendous business which is carried on by the city government Of New York. The city of New York has owned and operated it's own water supply, l understand, for more than a half century. Think of the water sup ply of the great city of New York be- Ing owned by private monopoly, Yet Colonel Mitchell would have us believe that 1t has proven unsatisfactory
