Some Advice to
 Alabama Solons

dressing ettur to the undersigned with ten sents in stamps-afd-2t.)
 Also am I in sympathy with the leggisla- ture in theere desire to prevent the riddi- cule of the promminint men of the State by the printing of cartoons The pictures, Tn the low conseptsion of the cartoonists, Ill carracterture of sum of our promminint men rite on the frunt page, next to pure reedlng mattur, of our daily papurs, should be discouraged. It is not at all refined and does not tend to uplift; it is shocking to the delicate sensibillities of the peepul. Still l would offer an amendment to that, if per mitted to do so. l would include evverv boddy-and not make this class leggisla- tion by putting in just promminint men. l reealize that the Legislature is altruistick in its motives and unsefish in its pur- pose in passing this law, at the same time. l beleeve that they mite verry properly in cude themselves under it protectsion. | think they could do this without advurse commint If they would accept this amend ment it would also save the considerabull embarrassmint. My credit has been ser iously impaired by sum of the pictures printed of me. The one that adorns the top of this page does me grave iniustice-my wife IS unnannlmus in hur opinion that l am bettur looking than this picture sum of my ennemies have sed that it flat turs me-so you see that we cant all think the same way on evvery subject
 Llmmiting what the newspaper may charge for theere survases is anuther good thing. The newspapers in Alabama air getting too atflewant-m edditurs air getting so they can pay cash for theere groceries and if that sort of thing keeps up the edditur of a small country newspaper will get so he thinks he is as good as enny boldly else and will refuse to take setting of discouraged eggs for yeers' subscrip- tson. When peeput begin to get little stuck on themselves it is time to call hault before it is evverlastingly too late.
 While l have always been opposed to womins' sufferage, still hope that the leg gislature will not let my attitude on that subject detur them enny Now mite be a good time to try out womins' sufferage in Alabama while we air trying evvery thing else. Sum of our leeding womin in the State seem to think it would make quite an i'm provement, and we mite take a chanse-- it won t hurt much While we air having inovasions let's go the hole hog. Theere is absolutely no use in going into the inno- vasion bjzness on small skale. Of corse sum of the womin mite want to cripple the industries of the State by taking the child ren out of the cotton mills and thus forsing job lot of no account parents to go to wurk for a livving, which would be pretty turf, but still they mite be willing to listen to reesun on such matturs
 Of corse the Legislature don't have to follow my suggestions unless it wants to. I am used to making suggestions that air not adopted so I won't feel peeved about it. l have maid meeny good suggestions to Congress which they refused to adopt and now look at Congress.
 Yours trooly,
 BILL VINES.

Aboard Ship On My Way Home. E7ISTUR EDDITUR: Far be it frum
 X1 me, Mistur Edditur, to preesume to offur enny sarcastick brand of ad- wise to our law makurs. When I furst plunged into journalism, having in moor or less dessultory way plunged into almost evvery thing else, deemed it my duty as one of the leeding riturs of the Nasion to set the administrator, eethur of the Nasion, or the State, rite whenever saw that it was boddling. I can recall on sev- verel occasions when I tried in my feebul but well-meening way, to point out to varius and sundry men of pubick affairs how they weer balling things up, but so far as I can recolect what had to say did not seem to make enny vissbull impression They kept rite on doing just as they blessed about it, in spite of the fact that they weer warned that theere corse did not suit me- can remembur that onse rote skathing rebuke of membur of the House consurn- ing his stand upon grate publick quest
 
 again be honured by commission in that boddy by the plain peepul of his district. I was vindicated, too; the next electsion they sent him to the Senit.
 Now l do not desire to spred alarm and feeling of distrust in my native State by making crude attack upon the Alabama Legislature. I reealize that the leggisla- ,r,, bos out me adding the grate wait of my dis pleasure to the burdens they alreddy bare. It is handicap enuff for the average citi- gin to be membur of the Legislature with out being the subject of adveurse commint by inflewensial men. I have known good men in stheere early yuth and before the age of discreesion surved in the leggisla- ture, who weer newer abull to live it down. Believe me, Mistur Edditur, my sym pathies air with the Legislature. They air an ernest, faithful boddy of men doing the verry best they can in theere blind and feebul way to promote prosperity and peese and happiness The fact that they have left theere cumfurtabull homes and firesides and lukrative occupasions to go down to Muntgummery and spend fore munths there for milage and bones per dyem, is evvidense of the hyest patryotism
 Still if it is not preesumpsious 1 would like to indicate to. the Legislature a few things they have dun which appeers a little inconsistent to me, and anuther man I know It may be that the Legislature can straiten it out so that l can remain in har- mony with them. I would like to remain in harmony with the Legislature if it is pos sibull for me to do so, but cannot refrain frum having an opinnion, deep set and furm, on the grate burning issues confrunt- ing us this time. When I onse form an opinion nuthing can shake it-I stand furm and make a noise like the Washington mon- umint. My antagonism to the monopolis- tick inturrests has been grate sorse of an noyance to predatory welth, and they have frequintly tryed to get me to cum ovver to.

Freed From Quarantine.

Washington, d. c.. Aug. 9-The entire
state of Wisconsin, including the stock
yards at Milwaukee, and Cudahy, is now
freed from quarantine for fOot-and-mouth
disease, the order taking effect August
q.
The same order frees the state of Ken
tucky entirely, and reduces the qnaran-
tined area in Illinois, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania.
In New York, Steuben county is placed
under closed quarantine on account of
the discovery of the disease in herd of
cattle near Hornell in that county. The
counties of OnOndagan, OswegO and
Rensselaer, and the stock yards at West
Albany are, released from quarantine.
The status of Mary land, Massachusetts
Michigan and Virginia remains un-
changed.

Policy Holders Pleased.
Removal of State Tax Will Save
Them Money.

Policy holders of at least one WiscOn-
sin life insurance company will receive
a direct and immediate benefit from the
removal Of the state tax of three per
cent. on premiums paid by Wisconsin
companies. Herman P. Bahr, local re-
preventative of the Guardian Life Insur-
ance Company has been notified that the
company will turn its saving over to the
policy holders, and that all premiums
collected hereafter are to be subject to a
discount of three per cent. Guardian
Life officials were active in urging the
passage OF the LAW which removed the
tax.
Governor Phillip, stating his reason
for fayoring the passage of the bill stat
ed:
Il believe it to be a correct public pol
icy to encourage our people and partlcu-
.larly men of families to protect their
dependents with a moderate amount of
life insurance
believe it to be wise policy to pro-
mote home industries as much as possible
and, insofar as life insurance companies
are concerned, their is a distinct advant-
age in promoting home companies for
the reason that they invest their funds
largely In this state. The five new Wis
c0nsin companies have the major
portion of their funds invested i'm Wis
censin farm mortgages (which has a
tendency to reduce the interest rate on
such loans and this tendency will grow
as the. amount of money which they
hold for their policy holders increases -

Think 1t Over Bro. Kelly.

Brother Kelley. editor of the Juneau
Telephone, took the Leader to task last
week for referring to some of the demo-
cratic members of the legislature mot
alp "as pinheads" and "fool democrats. -
The reference was only to those demo-
Gratis who have proven recresnt to their
party pledge for reduction of taxes
and an economic expenditure of public
funds, by following half-breed leaders to
make political capital, not for the demo-
cracy, but faction, which is determined
to rule or ruin. There are quite num-
Der of democratic members in both the
assembly and senate who have worked
for the best interests Of their consti-
tuents and are entitled to praise, prom
inent among them, being Senator sMul-
berger of this district.

Farmers Institutes.

Do you wish Farmers Institute dur
ing the coming fall or winter? If so,
application should be made at once to
the Department of Farmers Institutes,
C. P. Norgord, Superintendent, Madi-
son, Wis.
The Farmers Institutes are conducted
by successful farmers who have hadslong
experience in studying and presenting
the best methods of farming and in. prac-
ticing the same on their own farms.
These men have witnessed the growth
of scientific agriculture during the past
10 or 20 years and have presented and
practiced each new phase as it has ap-
peared. They are thus thoroughly ia
miliar with the best methods and pre-
sent the same in f0rceful and inter
esting manner.
Specialists in various lines of the work
from the State Experiment Station and
elsewhere also appear on the program
These two types of men insure programs
of practical and scientific merit pre-.
sented in popular form.
A very large number of Farmers In.
stitntes were held last year, yet all OF
the demands could not be supplied. II
is therefore important to make applica.
tions early.
