Crazy? No sir, he seems to have just more sense than anybody. If you ever pet Into a political race, prav that you may have no such crazy" man after you as Teddy, or else wish that you were enough to get the votes like Roosevelt is getting them. If Underwood's votes in jSTEK-Y gtf to Champ Clark if he needs them to be nominated we miss our guess. Underwood is under lasting obligations to the Speaker because he made it possible for Underwood to get in the lime light by making him chairman of the Ways aid Means committee the most important position in the House.

When the vote on the question ago, New York Republicans looked upon Teddy's candidacy for the presidency as a joke or a roaring farce.

now know better since hearine the news from other sections. From present indications it looks as if those disappointed legislators who have been wishing for an opportunity to show their constituents that they do not wear an O'Neal col I lar will have the chance at an early day. The Governor is.it is possible they will spur up seriously considering calling the legislature together in extra session, and before it is over with we predict that the Gov-j ernor will wish he had never heard of a legislature or of an extra session.

He and the editor of The Watchman started out in the newspaper business about the same time to mention how long ago would be unfair to our friend but as the years went by Ed seemed to tire of editorial work and quit the It is a pleasure to note his return to his first love. He will give the people of Demopolis an excellent paper, because he knows how.

I send yon a marked copy of the Congressional Record containing Senator "Gumshoe Stone's" speech on the situation. It is worth reading and keeping, for anything that makes Mr. Stone blush is indeed bad. Ohio treated Taft very unkindly in the primary this week, and Roosevelt's beating him in his own a -1 atata was such a blow that for con solation his friends are replying that Taft beat Teddy in JNew York, anyhow; I am getting interested in adjournment, and enjoy hearing tha we may leave June loth, but still I can't believe it.

There are fifteen general appropriation bills. Of these thirteen have been introduced, and placed on the calendar, eleven have passed the house, and gone to the senate, seven have been considered t.y the senate committees and placed on the senate calendar, seven have been amend ed hv the senate, and aro to be i conaDo.l seven have been agreed to and approved by the president and are now laws. I he General aeticiencj hill and the sundry civjc bill are vet to be introduced. What re mains to be done on appropriation bills alone looks to me like it would use all the time for a month, but To dar thev are fighting slowly over the Naval appropriation bill The Democratic caucus killed tne battleship construction bo fr hs this tension is concerned and the bill has no battleships in it, al though it is biK enough to have a few. Mr.

Hobeon contends that the Democratic partv a not abandoned the increase and main tainanne of the navy, but that it is making a pause in order' to in vestigate further, and will go ahead democrats control botb houses and the presidency. I hone his expectations are well founded, but the average Democrat seem to be "agin" army and navv both', and needs a good deal of persuasion, to show-him.

So far as we know, no application has yet been made, a The county of Hale has thus far received nothing from the appropriation made for the benefit of roads, the proper application not having been made. The county is entitled to $2,000 for the year 1911, and $2,000 for the year 1912, when it shall have made proper application and contributed a like amount to be expended upon some proposed improvement of a permanent nature and upon some main traveled road or portion thereof that shall receive the favorable endorsement of the state highway commission.
