A very busy session of the Ensley club was held last night in the inferior court room, at which time the dis cussion of the telephone company was one of the main objects. A letter was read at the meeting from the Rotary club of Birmingham. asking the local club to go on record as opposing any
 competitive company coming into this district against the Bell Telephone com
 panv. After number of arguments in favor and against this movement the local club went on record in favor of having competition throughout this dis trict on the grounds that alleged excess
 telephone rates are being charged in Ensley It is stated that the Bessemer citizens have a S2 cheaper rate than the citizens of this city and that the citizens of Wylam and Fairview have to pay still higher rates than Ensley. It was brought out at the meeting that the club held nothing against LeBaron Dono- van, who is in charge of the Ensley district, and in fact every member of the club stated that they were receiving the best service since he took charge of the local branch than they had ever before, and that they were very much pleased with his work.

REPUBLICANS WILL
 NAME ROOSEVELT
 FOR PRESIDENCY W. H. SANFORD
Montgomery Man Says T. R. Would Sweep New York State by Overwhelm-
 ing Vote

Montgomery, April 1s.-(Special,) } That Theodore Roosevelt will be the nominee of the republican party for President of the United States, and that he will sweep the entire state of New York by an overwhelming vote is the opinion of William Hodge Sanford of Montgomery, who has just returne ed from a prolonged business trip to New York city. MT. Sanford, as will be re- membered. was a candidate for na- tional committeeman from Alabama, but withdrew from the race because of business interests in New York. 1t will also be remembered that Mir. sam ford recently denied that he authorized his name to be signed to a statement attacking Senator Underwood.
 MT. Stanford is now back in Mont gomery after visit of two months to New York, and is we'll posted on the political situation in that city and state. In his opinion, there is not the remotest doubt that Mr. Roosevelt will be the nominee of the republican party.
 'The sentiment in favor of Roose- welt for President has gained consider ably during the past six months said MT Sanford. "A few nights ago his picture was flashed on the screen in a Broadway theatre, and for three min utes the applause was deafening.''
 MT. Sanford was then asked if President Wilson's picture was shown.
 "It was. and I was ashamed at the small applause that followed was the reply.
 According to Mir Sanford, the people of New York think the President has displayed weak and vacillating for eign policy, both with respect to Mex ico and the European nations at war.
 While in New York I talked with democrats as well as republicans, and I found both parties predicting Roose- velt's nomination. In this event, it is my belief that he will sweep the state of New York. The more conservative of the New York republicans I be- lieve, particularly Wall street. prefers Hughes for President, but Roosevelt already has gained such headway that I do not think Hughes has a chance at the nomination"

REyIsED NOMENCLATURE

q have been greatly interested in the nomenclature of the two organizations here represented-the Southern Hard ware Jobbers' association and the American Hardware Manufacturers as- sociation. When one considers the enormous possibilities of this section, is it too much to hope that we shall some day welcome to Birmingham or ganizations in which this momencla- ture shall be sectionally revised? It would be indeed a great privilege to welcome to Birmingham the American Hardware Jobbers and the southern Hardware Manufacturers. There is only one thing needed in this section to guarantee that revision of nomencla- ture That thing is the more com plete education of our people. I do not hesitate to say that the industrial supremacy of this section awaits merely the more adequate training of our youth, and I am glad to report that progress in this direction is steady and constant
 For years we have been talking somewhat excitedly about developing our natural resources. We have, how ever, apparently been overlooking the fact that our greatest undeveloped natural resource is the neglected child. Yet it is a fact that we are at last beginning to understand that on the balance sheet or natlon as well as oH heavens books men count for more than coal and iron and cotton.
 There has been a lime when this southern section, from the point of view of actually accumulated wealth took high rank. To restore that rank is our aim and purpose. And it is through education that the great end will be attained Education is today the foremost task of our statesman ship and the most worthy object of our philanthropy.

HIGH SCHOOL BEATS SCRUBS

The Ensley High school baseball team defeated the scrub team of the Owenton college yesterday afternoon on their own grounds in a one- sided affair by a score of to 4. The local boys had it all over their opponents in every department of the game and the whole team played a good game. Ems ley's victory was due to the pitching of Sherlock who struck out nine men, the heavy hitting of Keenon, Brown and Durham, and the all-around playing ot Walker Owentons star of the game was Jones at first who made a very fine showing. This throws the Ensley High school team two full games ahead in the Institutional league of any other team. The local team is probably the best that has ever represented the high school, and the boys are out after the championship this season.
 Coach Craig will send his warriors against the Central High school base ball team on Friday afternoon on Nun. gers field at o'clock. The local boys

 "On the material side of things there is no cause for pessimism. or even un- certainty, if we have the courage to do our duty The time is rapidly coming when this whole section is going to be rich in things material. Gone forever from our life are the days of poverty and privation. We have weathered each danger that has periodically threatened our rapid march toward in dustrial power until today we stand upon the mount of faith and oppor- tunity. Within less than a half cen tury property in this section will be worth five times what it is worth to- day The soil will produce five times what it will produce today. There will be 5000, 900 people in this common wealth instead of 2,000,000. We have faith in our future We invite you to come over and help us in the great task to which we have set our hands. There is no greater opportunity in the world than the opportunity that is open here to the man of energy and character and conservation to high ideals.
