once entered upon war all the resources and the strength of the nation would be
 at the service of the government in order to secure victory.
 But what puzzles these f1nanciers is this: Suppose the troops of the United States compass complete victory, what kind of a government would be found in Mexico competent to negotiate a treaty of peace? What guarantee would there be that the Mexican government could maintain order upon the boundary line and put an end to bandit guerilla at tacks while at the same time protecting American property? Would it be neces- sary for the United States to maintain troops in Mexico for long term of years so that any Mexican government which might promise to secure and maintain peaceful conditions on the border could be backed by the American army if it's efforts toward that end were sincere? It is observed that within a few days the question has been asked by some
 men of responsibility and financial lead ership-wou,d it be possible to secure per manent peace through the purchase by the United States of the Mexican pro- vinces whose northern boundary Is oppo- site the boundary line of the United States?
 AS IT WAS IN AS
 There is recollection of the fact that in 184S Mexico, notwithstanding the capture of the capital city by General Scott and the triumph of the United States else- where in the republic, nevertheless caimed-and to this day claims-that the victory in that war was with Mexico be-
 cause the United States paid an indemnity of S15,O00,000 and a few years later paid
 SIG, ,0O0 900 more for the so-calied Gadsden
 purchase, or s25000,00o in all to Mexico
 It was a stipulation in the treaty of peace
 with Mexico that the United States should
 pay 15O00.0 000 but in return for that Mex
 ico was to yield the provinces of Califor-
 mia and New Mexico to the United Sattes. Before the treaty was signed, gold was discovered in California. but Mexico did not know that when she ratified the treaty. If Mexico had known that gold in large quantities had been discovered
 in California the proba abi'ities are that she would not have sold California to the United States.
 Mexico has always, since she gained her independence, asserted that she would not yield any of her territory or

For the Visitors

From Everybodys.
 In full view of the crowd in very busy street two vendors of berries were busy with piles of thin wooden boxes each scantilly filled with immature fruit.
 Emptying box after box. the vendors deftly punched up one layer of the box bottom to a sharp angle pointed in the middle, propped it there with paper and then refilled the receptacle taking great care that the finest and freshest looking berries should make a showy top covering.
 One of the spectators grew indignant
 How in the world" he demanded "do you epect to sell your wares when YOU openly show that they are not what they seem to be?"
 "Aw, gwan." said the vendor ad- dressed This is New York. and there are more trains coming with more peo- pie.

DANIEL HEARING ID
 . BE HELD ON MONDAY
Sheriff of Russell County to Be Given Chance to De
 fend Himself

Girard, June 3o.-(special) )-Attorney General Martin and Assistant Attorney General Turner of Montgomery have been in Girard for several days this week in connection with the impeachment pro ceedings that have been instituted against Sheriff Pal M. Daniel of this county, as a result of the laxness of law enforce ment as shown to exist in the county by the famous liquor raids Of some weeks since.
 When the matter of impeaching this Governor Henderson by the attorney gen. erals office, it was deemed advisable to call an extra session of the Russell cir cult court and have the charges investi- gated by a grand jury of Russell county citizens, but at this time feeling was pretty high, and it was thought to be too indirect process to call a grand jury together, consequently a petition signed by large number of Russell coun- ty citizens was forwarded to the attorney general of the state, asking that immed- late steps be taken to impeach Sheriff Daniel, and this required that a hearing should be given him berore the supreme court of the state, and as a result of this petition, this hearing will be held on Eext Monday in Montgomery.
 Judge Williams will hold a special term of Russell circuit court as soon as this trial is over, and hear the cases that have been appealed to circuit court from the justices who heard the liquor trials last week In connection with, the raids and seizures of some weeks since
 After having the matter under consid- eration for several weeks to make in- quiry and investigation as to the fitness of available men, the Girard city board of education last night elected Prof. R. K Hood of Livingston as superintendent of the local schools for the incoming year, and Prof. l.. E. Snyder of Troy, who was formerly principal here, as prin- cipal of the high school.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
MT. EzekiePs Forecast

To the Editor Of The Age-Herald. While perusing the interesting pages of The Age-Herald this morning read with l much interest an article copied from a Pittsburg paper quoting Mr. Ezekiel of Birmingham while he was in the "Rir- mingham of the North good timeing the republican party of that section. No doubt MT. Ezekiel is diplomat in every sense and believes that while you are in Rome you should pease the Ro- 1 mans" MT. Ezekiel's sincerity in making his statement regarding the Hopping over of full blooded democrats to the re- publican ranks must not be questioned, nor the real truthfulness of his remarks, but the question arises are those 20 club men he mentions democrats or were they democrats? If they were true democrats they could not even hope for republican President to succeed one of the greatest men who ever sat in the presidential chair.
 MT. Ezekiel may speak for himself-but he should not forget that there are in the southland thousands of lsiahs, Jere- miahs Hoseas Jonahs. Nahums and other loyal supporters of the "Old Testa- ment type democracy to prevent the prophecies of Ezekiel-"that within two years Alabama" one of the strongest southern democratic states on the slate, would be doubtful state'-coming to pass.
 If MT. Ezekiels name is what it implies. we find that the book of the Bible of the same "entitlements" begins with vision. and this book is preceded by "Lamenta- tions.' To read this vision is very in teresting, indeed. No reflection on the good book is meant by this comparison. But a "vision," as we understand 1t, means something seen, experienced in an aginary manner-yet to come to pass; hence the reference.
 Alabama may be in the doubtful class from a political point of view-but small oaks will have grown into large rose bushes and mankind again walking on his all fours before such is the case. We can hardly picture many loyal democrats forsaking their party to join the Hughes Roosevelt combine. but there may be few vacant seats at the pie counter should CD Hughes be elected which are generally filled by 'flop-overs.
 We hope that when Mir Ezekiel returns to the ''Pittsburg of the South he will have read the Book of Revelations.
 Yours for democracy,
 w. J. HARMON. Birmingham, Ala. June 2s. 19l6s

Bill the MonOpOlist

From the Washington Star.
 A socialistic writer was talking in Boston about the dye trust recently formed in Germany
 "It includes all the, German dye firms" he said. "Talk about a monopo- ly, eh? Why it's as bad as Bill Smith.
 Bill Smith went off to the shore for a eek or two, and on his return took Sam Jones to task severely.
 Look here. Sam.' he said. I under stand that while I was off at the shore you took advantage of my absence to hang round Mabel Green almost every night
 "'No, Bill said Sam, you're mistake en. It's her sister. Sallie Green, that I've been hangin round

part with any of her sovereignty. New ertheless she did yield California and New Mexico for a price. So there begins to be expressed a feeling that possibly Mexico might now be willing for price to part with her northern provinces, and unless the price demanded were prohibit tive the United States possibly would be disposed to pay it. Mexican national pride might be stimulated by the record of the payment of millions to Mexico by the United States Probably this would be called an indemnity as was our pay ment for the Californias and New Mex leo.
 Of course, this is all tentative-in the air, so to speak-but the fact that the suggestion has been made makes it clear that men who may have to assist the government in securing the money needed for carrying on the war are look ing ahead of immediate war conditions and wondering what the future will de- velop and what the best way may be for securing the single issue of the war which is the preservation of order along the boundary line and the protection of American lives and property
 THE HILL MEMORIAL
 While the Great Northern railroad will be the permanent memorial to James J, Hill and also institutions at Yale and Harvard will be regarded as in a sense modified memorials, nevertheless there appears to have been a spontaneously de- veloped feeling, not only in the imme- diate vicinity of MT. Hills home, but in many parts of the country, that there should be a visible and worthy memo rial erected.
 The proposition has gone so far that already plan has been perfected for a memorial in the public park at St. Paul, s1,000,0 600. In order to meet the expense all the people are to be asked to contrib ute, the presumption being that a ma jority of the contributions will be in each instance small. If the plan carries, this visible memorial will be a national and not local institution. The Union Pacific Railroad company, realizing the tragedy which ended the life of Oakes Ames-for his heart was broken when the House of Representatives censured him on account of allegations affecting his direction of the Union Pacific rail- . road enterprise-decided to build a per- 1 manent memorial near the terminal of the Union Pacific. It stands there to- vindicated memory of the man whose genius made the construction of the Union Pacific possible. If now the peo- pie of the United States should erect a splendid memorial for James J. Hill then two at least of the great railway forces of the last half of the nineteenth cen tury will have had their careers worthily con memorated.

New York, June 30.-(Special.)- .)-Long Beach, which is going to be the most popular surf bathing possibility within easy reach of Broadway this summer, is just now offering some of the oldest sights imaginable. This is accounted for largely by the weather, which has not yet grown warm enough in this section to give our mobilized national guardsmen at Camp Whitman and Van Cortlandt park, the faintest idea of a Mexican midsummer.
 At Long Beach these days, there Is every evidence of a grim determination to flirt with Neptune, even if not ac- tually to embrace him. That is, the new bathing suits are all over the beach al- ready, and as the sand is ever more popular than the salty sea itself, the wearers are happy.
 It Is a funny sight to behold beauti- full vision, clad in 1916 model bathing suit, standing ankle deep in the surf, gasping for breath, while numbers of her sisters clad in coats and even win ter furs, look on, while the sun is not even warm enough to make them use sun shades or rdrasols.
 Here and there the surf is dotted with real swimmers. These for the most part, are what New York calls polar bears,' for the reason that they go in swim ming throughout every month In the 12, and sometimes pose for the movies, breaking the ice in some lake or other. They seem to be very healthy specimens, as a rule, and their skins are brown and proof against the usual early sum- mer sunburn

in favor of the city and the proceed

The mayor and city council of
Scotland were summoned to Yankton
on an alternate writ of mandamus

why they had refused to set a date
for hearing an application of Martin

NO HURRY FOR MONEY
ASSOCIATION SECRETARY ANN
IOUS TO HAND OVER $2S 900,
BUT NO TAKERS.

That there are many persons in
this community who are of the opin-
ion that there are things more to be
sought than money, is indicated by
the fact that Joseph Opperud, sec
rotary of the Madison Building and
Loan association. has more than
$4,000 in cash due citizens, which
he is willing but unable to pay.
And the reason Mr.. Opperud is not
paying cut the more than $28,00G is
because shareholders to whom the
money is due, although notified that
the money would be waiting for them
after last Tuesday, have not taken
the trouble to step in and collect the
hundreds of dollars coming to eacn
one.
The total amount of the series
which matured last Tuesday was
$124,0O0, of which some $4,000
was to be paid out in cash, b bal
ance being credited to loans. A rec
ord was established, when on the
first day $4,000 was paid.

OFFICIALS in CITY
BROTHERHOOD GENERAL CHAIR
MEN SAY THEY ARE HERE
STRICTLY ON OFFICIAL
BUSINESS.

Only under abnormal conditions
will the new eight hour law be a
source of increased expense in the
operation of trains. according to a
statement made this afternoon by
Ben Bowen, of Milwaukee, Wis, gen-
eral chairman of the order of Rail-
way Conductors, who with A. O.
Smith. of Milwaukee, chairman of
the Order of Locomotive Engineers,
and s. r. Showers, of East Dubuque,
Ill, chairman of the Order of Loco
motive Firemen. spent last night and
a part of the forenoon in the city.
The visiting officers presided at a
meeting this forenoon in the ~parlors
of the Lake Park hotel. at which
there were present local officers and
others of the Order of Railway Train
men.
Mr.. Bowen said that where freight
trains are gotten over the lines at
twelve and a half miles an hour, OPP
Grating expenses under the proposed
regulations will not be increased.
When it was noted that Mr.. Bow
en- was wearing a Wilson for Presi-
dent button, the general chairman
was asked if the visit here of Mr..
Showers. Mr.. Smith and himself had
any political significance. He replied
that it had none and explained the
reason for his visit here i'm the fol-
lowing terms
so much publicity. pro and con,
has been given the eight nour law,
that we have come TO explain The dis
c%ussions entered into at Washington
and New York. and to answer any
questions on which our brother rail
way men are in DOUBT. We also GO
over the railway mems schedules and
train rules"
Mr.. Bowen said it IS contrary TO
the bylaws and constitution of the
railway mems orders to permit the
discussion of either politics or re-
ligion at meetings.
Asked if he believed there would
be further opposition to the enforce
ment of the eight hour law. Mr..
Bowen said he had heard of none eN-
cept that which had come from the
management of the Santa Fe railway.
The manager of that system has
threatened to take the matter into
the courts.
Il do not believe. however. that
any of the railways will try to VIC
late the law" Mr.. Bowen concluded.
