The city of Moline has practically
doubled its quota and there is still
to be heard from the women who
have conducted house-to-house
campaign and the Boy Scouts.
Although Moline has more than
reached it's proposed quota, the
drive is to be continued in order
that the fullest opportunity be
given for every one to subscribe, as
is evident from the following state
ment of o. F. Anderson, chairman
of the campaign committee:
While it is true that our inten-
sive drive in this Liberty loan cam
paign is over and that the drive has
resulted in our attaining our quota,
we should not lose sight of the fact
/ that this quota was the minimum
allotment, and that since the allot-
ments were given out by our gov
eminent, it has made an appeal to
the country to at least double this
figure.
1T therefore becomes our duty as
loyal. liberty loving citizens to go
on buying these bonds until the
close of the campaign, and to strain
every effort at our command to at
/ least reach the new mark set by
Uncle Sam.
Let us, therefore, all pull to-
gether and do this thing in the good
old Moline Way Let US do it for
the sake of our sons and brothers.
who have gone to fight for us on the
battlefields of Europe. for humanity
and the freedom of the world"

WATER POWER LAW WHICH WILL GET RESULTS WANTED Subject Will Come Before Congress Within the
 Next Few Days SHIELDS BILL IS
 BEING ADVANCED Underwood and Bankhead Both Favor It Because of Its Prac-
 tical Solution of the
 Problem
Rx HuGH w. RonERrs

Washington, August 31.-(Special) The administration desires the passage of water. power legislation which will result in development of the latent water powers of the United States.
 In February, 1917, the Senate en- acted the Shields water power bill It was not acceptable to the administra- tion. For the Shields bill the House substituted the. administration" bill
 The administration bill will be en- acted by the House. Conferees on the part of the Senate and House will en- act the net result. Water power com panies contend that under the Shields bill they can develop but under the House bill they cannot develop. In all probability the conferees will put ints effect ''workable'' bill.
 Water power legislation will be the next great work, with the possible ex- ception of the war tariff sS,oO0, 900, 900 bill, which will engage the attention of Congress.
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BILLS
 There is in the way of language great difference between the Senate bill and the administration bill. In practical effect, however, the difference is one of paragraphs.
 The House bill would create a water power commission consisting of the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the

John Purroy Mitchell

From ''The Progress of the World" in
 the American Review of Reviews.
 Only few dayssbefore his own sad dening news, Colonel Roosevelt had offieiated as a pallbearer at the fune- ral of Maj. John Purifoy Mitchell, than which more impressive demonstra- tion has hardly ever been witnessed In the city of New York. Upsn his de- feat for reelection in the maycrality campaign, last November, Mir Mitchell at once sought army service. He had been trained in the Plattsburg summer camps. and, being natural leader of men. would have made an excellent infantry officer or would have filled an army administrative post with suc- cess. He was eager, however, to serve: and since no other opportunity seemed so readily available, he accepted commission in the aviation service and took training as flyer in southern California His death occurred on July 6, through an accident while fly ing at an. aviation field in Louisiana. Although still a young man. John Purroy Mitchers career and services in New York had lifted him to the ranks of the leading public men of the country. He had been identified with the most successful attempt ever made to redeem great American city for business-like administration and for so- cial progress. His name has stood for the period in which New York city be- came recognized as one of the bes. governed of the great population ccn- ters of the world. He was intelligent and efficient, but his foremost trait was his courage. It would be useless to recount the curious and mercurial refused him, last fall. a second term The tributes evoked at his death showed that the heart of New York had not rejected him, and that It's in- tellieence had always recognized his merits.

TALK OF HENRY MERRITT

The man to receive the majority of guesses is Henry F. Merritt, who al- ready is said to be slated for the place
 as speaker of the house. Capitol gos- sipers have it that MT. Merritt, who for many years has been leader for the prohibition cause in the state, will make himself so strong with the voters while he is speaker, that he will be tempted to run for goyernox when MT. Kilby's term expires. It iS known that MT. Merritt has designs upon something bigger than a small chair which is furnished representa- tives in the legislature. Lobby and capitol gossipers, too. are interested in A. H. Carmichael, who defeated Walter Miller, editor, for sen- ator, from the Twenty-first district They would like to know just how Mr. Carmichael will be looked upon when Ee comes into the session of the sen- ate. He has always been a strong
 prchibitionist, but in the last race he
 was on the losing side, having thrown
 his support to w. w Brandon. who
 was Ion the fence" so far as the pro
 hibition amendment was concerned
 There are none who doubt but that Mr. Carmichael still is prohibitionist.
 but there are many who are wonder ing if he will receive the support Of the amendment senators and repre- Sentat1veS.
 The voters, 1t is known. will keep their eyes on both MT Carmichael and MT. Merritt
 One of the most important matters, besides the adoption of the prohibit tjen amendment, is the bills that will bring into the state treasury more revenue. It isn't necessary that more revenue come in. but it is necessary that less money go out if the state of Alabama is to better her credit and pay off the big bonded indebtedness that has accumulated the past several years.
 II is estimated it costs the state 50 per cent more money now to operate than it did when the last legislature provided funds, and measures must be adopted to relieve the financial sit- uation. Alabama is being run now cn . so-called peace basis.' although prices have advanced approximately double.

RESULTS ARE WANTED

Senator Bankhead and Senator Under wood are heartily in favor of the Sem ate Legislation. known as the Shields bill. They believe that under that bill develop. ment will be possible with benefit to the people, the government and the com panieS.
 They are not unwilling that a water power commission consisting of thres secretaries be created. They simply want results.
 The belief is that the government in its desire to deevlop and at the same time protect itself from the machinations Of water power companies is leaning back. It is probable that a just and workable compromise will result from the labors Of the conferecs on the part of the House and Senate.
 At any rate, this water power subject will be the subject to engross the satten tion of the country within the next few days.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-09-01

Interior and the Secretary of Agri- culture. The Senate bill makes no such provision, but the advocates of the Sen ate bill are not inalterably opposed to the creation of the commission. They would prefer no commission because future secretaries might be republicans and inherently opposed to what repub- Iieans are pleased to call southern pork barrelism." But they are not welded to this idea and if the admin istration insists will gracefully yield.
 The main difference between the two measures is this: The Shields or Senate bill gives water power companies a lease of 50 years, and as long there after until the United States pays for properties and developments far and reasonable sum; the House bill gives water power companies a lease of 50 years. but makes no recommendation regarding the manner through which the government shall acquire the prop erty following the termination of the lease.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-09-01
PLACE FOR AYERS

Many would swear that Harry M. Ayers of the Anniston Star. who was one of the strongest supporteds Governor-elect Kilby had, will be the private secretary to Governor Ki1by. Then there are others who believe that MT. Ayers will get something even bst- ter than that place.
 "He will be the next man to have charge of the state convicts in place of the appointee of Governor Hender- son." is one report. But so far as is known publicly and by friends of the incoming governor, he has not ex- pressed himself as to the favors he will bestow in January. It is only natural, some say, that Governor Kill by will name men to the offices who were friendly toward him during the past campaisn. As to the names of the men to fill these places little is known from an authoritative source
 The "untamed' rumor is: 'sThe next legislature will equip some senator or representative for the office of Ala bama governor" It's rather early to begin to guess about who will be Ala bania's governor so many years in the future, but there are many who are guessing.

MANY RUMORS 0F
 CAPITOL CHANGES Harry Ayers Mentioned for
 Good Place MERRITT AMBITION Friends Said to Have Him Already Scheduled for Governor Four Years Hence
By WILLIAM L. GoRMLEY

Montgomery, August Sl.-(Speciall Fifteen days after the Alabama demo- cratic primary, one rumor that started on it's way on the first floor of the state building has been "rumored" so much and by so many different per- sons 1t has become several Now, there are so many different brands of rum ors that 1t is a difficult task to keep up with even half of them. The rum ors-or many of them--bring out some of the big things the next legislature will have to decide. Of course, one of the rumors has to dos with the fi- nancial obligations of the state and of necessary plans to protect or make better the credit of Alabama. Another rumor is as yet untamed; in fact, it's so wild it can't be kept up with.
 In political circles of Montgomery. following the primary elections, there were few who were willing to discuss the probable changes. at the state building when Thomas E. Kilby and his amendment senators and represent atives take charge of the offices. But now, it appears, there is a rumor about each office-each person claiming to have some knowledge of who will do "this and that" in January, 1919.
