JACKsoNvILLEs FIGHT FOR WATERWAY IS GRAPHICALLY TOLD BY SPECIAL REPRE- SENTATIVE OF PORT CON- MISSIONERS

IT. H. Richardson, special representa- tive of the board of port commissioners of Jacksonville, Fla, made two addresses in the city yesterday. He made an ad- dress before Birmingham business men at o'clock at the Chamber of Com merce, and addressed the Birmingham Civic association at the headquarters at IS o'clock. While the meetings were not as well attended as was anticipated the message brought by Mir. Richardson proved interesting and instructive.
 Mir. Richardson suggested what Bir- mingham could accomplish through the utilization of the Warrior canal for transportation and drove home his point by relating Javksonville's successful ef- forts in developing waterpower and build ing wharfage and docks. The lecture was illustrated with lantern slides.
 Mir. Richardson said in part:

on the same 45 degree trend. Last week at Glenn Mary. in Tennessee, which is directly on line that might be drawn from northwestern Alabama to the Penn sylvania oil territory, two wells, each having daily production of 250 barrels, were struck.
 'In consideration of this fact, joined with the other that the geological forrna- tions are exactly the same as those in Pennsylvania and West Virginia, we have determined that Alabama's oil field should be developed.
 HAVE NERVE TO ACT We have not entered into the develop ment without forethought, but we have the initiative and nerve to do it. The offices of this company are in Birming- ham and will remain here. On the di- rectorote of the company are two proni- nent local men, R. N. McDonough and U. T. Robertson, who, it is remembered, discovered the ore lands that were &C., quired by the Gulf States Steel company.
 We are going to develop these natural resources of Alabama and are in posi- ton to do so. We have nothing to con- ceal and have announced frankly the re- suits of the diamond test holes, as bored by the Coleman Ss Mcdonald Exploration company. I may state that our chances for hitting oil in big quantities are three for and one against. But, we are willing to take the chances and are going ahead
 immediately with the work.
 The officers of the company are: F. B. Grindell, Boston, president; F. F. Jack son. Richmond vice president; 5. c. Snead, Shawsville, Va. treasurer; c. O. Owens, New York city, secretary. The directors are: c. o. Owens, chairman of the board; R. N. Mcdonald, Birming- ham; J. T. Robertson, Birmingham; $. A. Hobson, Birmingham; w. s. Douglass, Russellville; c. M. Fuller, St. Augustine, and F. H. Brown, New York.
 Since the striking of oil at Corona, Bir- mingham has been visited by the agents of virtually every large oil producing company in the country. They are keep ing close watch on the developments, but are waiting for some other company to make the strike.

County Board Allows Blacks Salary But Holds Up That His Assistants Until Litigation Is Setted-Tate and His
 Assistants Appear Every Morning for Duty

That the state of Alabama recognizes the right of Circuit Solicitor Joseph R. Tate to appoint assistant solicitors was evidenced yesterday when his three ap- pointees, James Davis, John P. Mccoy and Wallace McAdory, received a warrant from the state treasury in payment of that part of their salaries that comes from the state.
 Tn reference to that part of their salaries coming from the county, Solicitor Tate states that the board of revenue has no authority In the matter as his assistants are state officers and the amount of salary and mode of compensation is fixed by law. He further states that every cent of the salary that he iS now receiving comes from the state.
 The board of revenue ordered a war rant issued yesterday for the payment of Solicitor Blacks salary, but withheld payment of his assistants, awaiting the result of the litigation now pending in the courts.
 The salary of Solicitor Black is s45Oo per annum, that of Assistant Solicitor

Roosevelt Says "a ilson
Counsels Utter Cowardice.
Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay ]

Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay |
President Wilson has announced him
self in favor of peace without victory,
and now he has declared himself against
universe! service-that is, against all
efficient preparedness by the United
States.
Ideal of One Too Proud to Fight.
Peace without victory is the natural
ideal of the man who is too proud to
fight. In the event of war it is the only
kind of peace open to the nation whose
governors and leaders are too proud to
fight and too foolish to prepare. 1t is
spurned by all men of lofty soul. by all
men fit to call themselves fellow. citizens
of Washington and Lincoln, or of the
war-worn fighters who followed Grant
and Lee.
The Tories of 1778 demanded peace
without victory. The Copperheads of
1864 demanded peace without victory.
These men were Mr. Wilson's spiritual
forbears. But neither Washington nor
Lincoln was among the men who draw
the sword lightly, or who, when once
it had peen drawn, sheathed it without
victory Ii a righteous war is concluded
by peace without victory, such peace
means the triumph of wrong over right,
and neutrality between right and wrong
means the support of wrong against
right
Mr.. Wilson asks the world to accept a
Copperhead peace of dlshonor, peace
without victory for the right, a peace
designed to let wrong triumph. peace
championed in neutral countries by the
apostles Of timidity and greed. In Mex
leo he has accepted and is accepting such
a peace, and by his Mexican policy he
has brought disaster to Mexico and dis
honor to the United States. His policies
throughout his four years have brought
woe to humanity and shame and bitter
ness of heart to all Americans proud of
the honor of their flag.
Freedom from Murder Basic Rule.
President Wilson talks OF the freedom
Of the seas. The basic rule of freedom
is to be free from murder. Yet Presi-
dent Wilson has not dared to secure even
this elementary freedom for our men,
women and children on the seas. Let
him first act in the present to secure this
elementary freedom from Germany be-
fore, in the interest of Germany, he asks
for the abolition of naval power.
