Does a TWo-Year-0Id Baby Pay?

Does a two-ye -old baby pay for
interesting age? Sometimes 1 think
not. L thought so yesterday when
my own baby slipped into my study
and scrubbed" the carpet and his
best white dress with my bottle of
ink. He was playing in the coal-hod
ten minutes after a clean dress was
put on him, and later in the day he
pasted fifty cents worth of postage
stamps on the parlor wall and poured
dollars worth of the choicest
white Rose" perfomery out of the
window Ito see it VAIN"
Then he dug out the centre of
nicely baked loaf of cake, and was
found in the middle of the dining
room table with the sugar-bowl be-
tween his legs and most of the con-
tents in his stomach.
He has already cost over 800 in
doctors bills. and | feel that l am
right in attributing my few gray
hairs to the misery I endured walk
ing the floor with him at night dur
ing the first year of his life.
What has he ever done to pay me
for that?
All! l hear his little feet patterine
along out in the hall. | hear his lit
tie ripple of laughter because he has
escaped from his mother and has
found his way up to my study at a
forbidden hour. But the door is
closed. The worthless little vaga-
bond can't get in, and l won't open
it for him. No, | won't. 1 can't be
disturbed when I'm writing. He
can just cry if he wants to. / won't
be bothered for-"rat, tat, tat" go
his dimrled knuckles on the door
| sit in silence.
"Rat, tat, tat"
1 sit perfectly still.
Papa"
No reply.
"Peeze, papa"
Grim silence.
Baby tum in--peeze, papa"
Fe shall not come in.
my papa"
i write on.
Papa" says the little voice; II
lub my papa. Peeze let baby I'M"
am Lot quite brute, and l throw
open the door In he comes with
outstretched little arms, with shin
ing eyes, with laughing face. l
catch him up into my arms, and his
warm, soft little arms go around my
neck, the not very clean little cheek
Is laid close to mine, the baby voice
says sweetly:-
Il Tub my papa"
Does he pay?
Well, / guess he does! He has
cost me many anxious days and
nights. He has cost me time and
money and care and self sacrifice
He may cost me pain and sorrow.
He has cost much. But he has paid
for it all again and again and again
in whispering those three little
words into my ears: II Tub papa"
Our children pay when their very
first feeble little cries fill our hearts
with the mother love and the father
love that ought never to fail among
all earthly passions.

His Life Sentence,

FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 5.-An I'M
expected step was taken In the case
of Henry E. Youtsey at Georgetown
yesterday, when his attorneys with
drew the motion Tor an Investigation
as to his sanity and announced that
they would not further delay the
sentence for life, which will be
passed to day.
This action and later conference
of Youtsey's attorneys gave rise tn a
rumor, which could not be verified,
that the case is to be pushed no
further and Youtsey is to enter upon
his life term. YouLsey and Caleb
Powers have been ordered removed
from Louisville. The case of
Combs, Davis and Whitaker nave
been continued, but that of Weaver,
for perjury, is to be tried at this

SYDNEY ]. BOWIE.

From the Laurel Maryland, Democrat.
 The Hon. Sydney J. Bowie of Alabama. who will take his seat in the House of Representatives on the first Monday in December as the successor of Mir. William F. Aldrich. comes of good old Scotch an- cestry. He is a grandson of Chancellor AL exander Bowie. who was commissioned a colonel of South Carolina volunteers dur ing the war of 1S12 and later removed to Alabama. where he became one of the most distinguished jrrists In that state. He is also a distant relative of Col. James Bowie. one of the heroes of the Alamo, the inventor of the Bowie knife, and as brave a soldier as ever walked the earth. Representative Bowie Is but thirty-six years of age, but he is an able lawyer, and very forceful speaker. Mrs. Bowie, who was Miss Annie Foster Etheridge, is an unusually charming woman, and will no doubt become great favorfte in Washington society. Sydney Bowfe's friends express the belief that he will soon come to the front as a legis- 1ator, and they know him we'll who have ventured this opinion. Mir. Bowie Is prob ably related to our Prince Georges Coun- ty Bowfes, who have always been prom inent in Maryland.

A BRAVE GOVERNOR.

From the Knoxville Journal and Tribune.
 The whole country Is interested in the reelection of Governor Jelks, of Ala bama. He has proven himself faithful among the faithless. No governor in the nation has done more to suppress mob law than he He has not stopped to in- quire of himself, or of others, whether what he was about to do would be popu- lar, but whether it was right. He has stood by the law and by the officers whose business 1t Is to enforce law
 The governor of Mississippi has also given the lawless clements in his state to understand that he has no sympathies with mobs under any circumstances, and that the laws will be enforced if he eau see 1t done, that he will show no favors to any man or any set of mefi who al ( guilty of engaging in the cowar,lly work of the lawless mob.
 The conduct of these two governors has had q good infiuenfe. not only in their own states, Nbut also all over tho land. If the governors of other states will emulate their example there will be fewer violations of law of this char acter. and by and by. public sentiment will be healthy and strong. when we will hear no more of men taking into their hands what belongs to law and the courts.
 Would that the states had more gov- ernors like Jelks, of Alabama, and Lon- gino of Mississippi May their kind in- crease and multiply.

Campaign Poets at Work.

New York Letter In Pittsburg Dispatch. What might be called pestilence of poets has become a feature-almost the feature-of the municipal campaign. Of course, everyone suffers-candidates and bosses, without mentioning the public. Judge Jerome. the fusion candidate for district attorney, seems to be a favorite subject for Tammany artists. One car toon, in which he Is represented as hand ing a permit .o live in New York to citizen, has this cerse attached: We must get a permit to live with pro-
 priety;
 Talk in Low whispers and not form
 a crowd. Then with deeorum and perfect sobriety To walk on the sidewalks you'll be
 allowed.
 Next you'll be gagged and have to wear
 binders,
 And go round rim slippers with soles
 made of cork, To give nonsense to Jerome's highbinders If he gives you permission to live in
 New York.
 Pray that he pardon us.
 Don't be too hard on us,
 And give us permission
 To live in New York. Here's one about Shepard, TaSam1ly's candidate for Mayor: This is the Shepard of Spotted Town, Whose changing coat has won renown: A spelndid lot of crooks has he In fact, the whole of Tammany. To keep tigers fold, you know, Would take million crooks or so.

BIu Rail Orders for 1902.

The rail mills of the country, includ- ing the one about to go into operation at Ensley, can turn out just about 2,400,000 tons a year, and 1t Is stated that orders received and accepted for deliveries in 1902 already aggregate 1,7o0,000 tons. When we stop to think that in two calendar years only have the mills of the country produced g. 100000 tons, 1t Is seen at once that orders for 100000 tons mean that every rail mill in the country will be pushed to its full capacity up at least to 1903.
 So pressed are the mills that large | foreign orders have been refused on the ground that deliveries would be Impossible before October of next year. One of these orders was for 100000 tons, to be used in Manchuria on a railway whose construction was stayed by the war. There was no question raised over prices, but the date of de- livery stood in the way, and the order doubtless will go to British or German mills. China herself wants 9 large quantity of rails, 1t being her inten- tion to begin at once the completion of system covering the whole of the vast empire. Minister Wu says his country will build in the next ten years 100, 900 miles of railroad, and he is the second richest man in China, and leader of the Progressive party, Anxious as American mills are to get good grip on Chinese trade, yet they cannot accept orders for rails for i'm mediate delivery.
 Under such circumstances the price for rails at the mill is firmly main tained at s2s a ton. This is probably $10 ton above price that would cover cost and a fair profit, and 1t goes to show that the earnings of the steel trust will next year approach the fabulous. The estimate now Is that the net earnings of the corporation will be $1OS,o00,Oo0, or $12,00o,000 a month.

of such combinations, and he makes those already formed more aggressive and dangerous.
 Just why Justice Brewer desired to aid in such an open manner capital and to distress the victims of capital is not clear, but it Is plain bis remarks can have no other effect. Every trust felt stiffer as it read the Brewerian deliV- cry, Every trust may have begun to form new plans for bleeding consum- CTS. Every trust at any rate felt ser cure in its position, for when a mem Der of the Supreme Court speaks even individually then every trust knows where security nes and where protec- tion can be secured. Justice Brewer has really committed the Supreme Court to the maintenance and support of the trusts, and nothing but plain decisions to the contrary can undo his remarkable speech at the Yale bi- centenary.

Ratification sweepInq the state.

One paper after another in the State states that opposition to ratification of the New constitution has disap- peared, on is disappearing rapidly. The Troy Messenger, for example, one of the most candid and we'll informed papers in South Alabama, says there Is practically no opposition to ratifica- tion in it's county and section. There has been some, but 1t had disappeared when the plan of the New was ex- plained and made known. AS a rule a reading of the new instrument suf- fees. Misrepresentation stands con founded by the text itself.
 It would be a gracious thing on the part of the opposition leaders to with draw from hopeless fight. thus bring ing all white men together in support of document that is to establish and forever maintain white supremacy in the State. In view of the fact that the negroes are increasing in the State more rapidly than the whites--a fact brought out in the census flgures-it Is important, not only that the New constitution should be ratified, but that all should pull together for the purpose of inducing white immigra- tion.
 The Age-Herald appeals to the lead CTS of the opposition to accept the plain situation, Withdrawal now for the good of all white men is vastly preferable to overwhelming defeat in eleven days. No one need question the sincerity of the opposition, but such opposition is finding little sup port throughout the State. Ratifca- tion is in the air, and a generous ac. ceptance of it by the leaders of the non-ratifcation movement would be timely, appropriate and patriotic, and men throughout the State would so consider it.

THE OILY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Rotten Borouahs in Connecticut.

Connecticut has a constitution that was adopted in 1918. The State Is divided into townships, the township being the unit of government as It is generally in the East, whereas in the South and Southwest the county is the unit.
 Under the ancient constitution of Connecticut every township organized before 1785 elects two Representatives for the Legislature, be the township large or small New Haven, with 108,- 027 inhabitants, sends but two Repre- sentatives, while Union Township, with less than 1000 people, sends as many. No township can send more than two. and every township sends up at least one.
 I Such injustice has led at length to the calling of a constitutional conven. tion, which is to meet on the first Wednesday in January next, and the instrument it adopts Is to be submit ted to the people within three months from the adjournment of the conven- tion.
 Thus far all is promising, but Tues day next delegates to the convention are to be elected. and the delegates are apportioned as Representatives now are. There are 16S townships in the State, and on the question of call ing a convention ,12s voted against a convention, The 40 that favored con- vention cast such heavy votes that the I2s were overcome. in the popular de cision But will not the 12S elect dele gates that will stand by the ancient, alths,ugh unjust, representation of the lesser townships? If they do, the eff fort at constitutional reform will come to naugLst, and the small townships win retain. their unfair and undemo- cratic advantage. It is difficult to say what the upsnot of the matter will be, but it is at Yeast hoped that some com promise will be secured that will ren- der representation endurable even if 1t be not fully just and equitable. The question is one that is of interest in other States. Alabama itself is in the Connecticut boat to some extent, but the representation scheme of the New in. this. State is, shade better than that of the Old.
