ANNISTON

Anniston, February 12.-(Special. .)-An- niston began to prepare for the advance of the boll weevil and equal suffrage on the same day. Thursday afternoon Mrs G. II. Mathis told about the boil weevifs coming and on Thursday evening Mrs Julia Bonelli of Montgomery stated that equal suffrage is as sure to come as taxes and death. The great difference between the boil weevil and suffrage is, she said, that the government can stop the boil weevil. but it cannot stop the on ward march of suffrage.
 Following Mrs Bonellis address, which was heard by a. large audience at the courthouse. about D joined the Anniston Equal Suffrage league, which was or ganized at the Alabama hotel this morn ing.
 s. P Kennedy, president of the Ala bama railroad commission, who has been making his home at Montgomery for sev- eral years while acting as secretary to the commission he now heads. has pur- chased the home of Mrs. A. H. Smith on Tyler Hill and returned to this city to live Thursday afternoon. He is being cordially welcomed on the streets by his friends.
 sI was surprised to notice in the papers this morning that there seems to be doubt as to the passage of the bill providing the submission of the proposed S1, 100000 bond issue favored by the governor said MT Kennedy Friday afternoon. When l left Montgomery it's passage seemed assured, and believe it will yet be submitted.
 MT. Kennedy managed Governor Hen derson's campaign and carried Calhoun, his home county, for his candidate.

 The Did Not Heed
 These inventions. MT. Perkins be- lieves, were not considered at all by many of the leaders in public life. nor was there understanding of their in evitable relation to great bhsiness. and for that reason they either wilfully or ignorantly began agitations which had for their purpose legislation which would tend to paralyze the new energies created by these new conditions.
 MT. Perkins and others have called attention to the fact that it is a re markable bit of historic evidence that in the last 20 years no political leader, no would-be statesman who spoke in state legislature or in national con- gress. has called effectively the atteh- tion of the people to the stupendous changes that have taken place in the methods of intercommunication. and, as ntercommunication is the first requisite e for doing business, these changes are from the economic point of view re- sponsible for the standardization of busi- ness. It is this misunderstanding or lack of appreciation combined. Mir. Perkins intimates. with some spirit of demagogy which shas occasioned the business demoralization. There is a con fifct between the new economies and the old economies and there cannot be prosperity until the conflict be ended
 Business men, in MT. Perkins view, are in part responsible for the fact that the people have not had clear under p standing of these new conditions. Busir ness men have kept quiet. they have refralned from participating in their civic duties. The responsibility for the future prosperity of this country now rests exclusively upon the sober. able business men of the United States
 If they shirk responsibility there will be disaster. MT. Perinks speaks Of the recent evidence that the intelligent peo- pie of she United States are now be- ginning to understand the causes oi business depression and this public opinion is gradually but surely mani testing itself and will in all probability be triumphant. The people know MT Perkins says. that something is wrong They have discovered that Legislation has not corrected these wrongs They are now in a thoughtful mood and are therefore, in condition to welcome al educational campaign and nation-wid agitation in which there will be un. destandingly set forth the new economic conditions, the req sons why they have been created and the vital necessity therefore of perfect cooperation be- tween the government. state and ma tional. and the business men of the United States
