The hope which the ConstitutioH ex-

Capt. Alexander Has' Bill Which
He Thinks Will Regulate the
Cotton Acreage. .A

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-"Impossible to

it." emphatically and tersely replied
Sydepham j. Alexander, of the sixth
district Of North Carolina, when asked if
concerted reduction in acreage was the
remedy for the prevailing depression in
cotton.
eve can't make cotton in my part of
North Carolina under &C.," MIR. Alexan-
der said.
"What is your remedy for the present
condition2" he was asked.
"rhis," he replied.
Mr.. Alexander produced bill which
Is before the committee on ways and
means. The proposition is asconcise as
the authors speech. The most important
provides "that all vessels built within
the United States by citizens thereof and
wholly owned and manned by citizens of
the United States, engaging in foreign
commerce, shall be allowed to enter and
discharge their returning cargoes at any
port of the United States, free of all GUS
tom duties; provided, that said vessels
shall have carried full outgoing carpoes
from the United States, thrce.fourths at
least of which cargocs consisted of acri-
cultural products of the United States. {"
The other sections simply provide recu
lations to carry out this idea.

Whittier as a Man.
John G. Whittier, wide though his
fame as poet is, was little known as a
man. Indeed, he ever cared to be so
known; for he was modest even to
shyness, stunning miscellaneous society
and seldom appearing onpublic occasions
or at public assemblies unless they were
discussing principles to which he was
devoted. He had no inclination to travel,
never having been abroad and having
made few journeys in his own country
not prompted by business or duty.
After the civil war, when he was near
sixty, many Of his friends urged him at
different times to go abroad. They as
sured him that he would enjoy European
travel, with its classic scenes, historic
associations and treasures of art, dis
canting largely on these and the intel
lectual advantage they would be to him.
He usually gave his delicate health as
reason for not going, but when it had
been made clear that he would travel
slowly and easily, and with every com
fort, he admitted that he greatly prefer
red to remain at home; that he was
never so contented as when at Amesbury
and under his own roof
Born in a small town in Massachusetts,
December II, 1901, where he lived
mainly till past thirty, and then, relnov-
ing to another adjacent small town, he
closed his days there. He had done many
years work ON a farm, and was always
fond of nature and of rural scenes and
associations, as his poems show. His
parents were Friends, popularly termed
Quakers, and he at an early age joined
their society, wore their garb and used
their form Of speech. Like all its mem
bers he was opposed to slavery, and his
opposition grew with his years.
1t seems not improbable that, but for
his strong anti-slavery feeling, he might
have remained obscure to his death.
That feeling, especially after the news
paper he edited III Philadelphia in his
younger period had been Inobbed, was so
intensified that what he wrote, whether
prose or verse, was saturated with it.
He was chosen 1885 secretary of the
anti-slavery society, and his stirring
poems, expressing his convictions against
the national wrong, early made him con
spicuous in the then small band Of ado
htionists.
The poet retained to his dying hour
his interest in politics. He remained
radical Republican from the formation
of the party, He always maintained
that Fremont was elected to the presi-
dency in 1856, but that he was defraud
ed Of it by false counting, chiefly in
Pennsylvania-an opinion shared by
other prominent politicians of his era.
Mr.. Whittier never married and for
long time his household affairs We're pre-
sided over by his sister and after her
death which occurred some time ago, he
passed much Of his time with his niece
at Danvers.
