A Good Beginning.
Washington Post

Washington PoSt.
 The President has made good begin Thomas c. Jones to the United States District bench in Alabama, filling va cancy caused by the death of Hon. John Bruce "Colonel'' Jones, as he is famil- iarly known throughout the State, Is a man of the highest character. In private and in public life he has always enjoyed a reputation for absolute integrity, AS lawyer he is everywhere regarded as sound. enlightened. and thoroughly m for med. He has the confidence or the Alabama bar, as we'll as Of his telloW- citizens generally, and 1t may be safely predicted that he will in all respects JUS tify the Presidents action Tn appoint ing him to place Of snch nign girr,I, aulnor- ity and responsibility. He is thoroughly equipped. professionally speaking; Tor proper discharge of the new duties lm- posed upon him, and he is' besides, a clean and honorable gentleman III every relation of life. ,,a
 Whether there be any special signifi- canoe in this selection Of Ex-IoVernor The appointmcnt Is sufficiently warranted iv his character and attainments If the President were simply looking TOT ca pable and honest man, just, virtuous and brave, he might easily nave chosen Thomas G. Jones without a thought or politics, and still have cnhosen ch.v"It ~rseiS iS. tended it or not, the incident involves a suggestion which the Southern RePubii- can leaders will do we'll to ponoer. tilth- erto they have done nothing to attract to their organization such men as a President, careful of the country wei fare and jealous of his party aatIe, t,ust and honor. On the contrary. they have done everything to repel sucn ruen.

A DELIGHTED ORGAN
But Under Its Contention Massa.
 chusetts Would Suffer.
Washington Post

Washington Post.
 The New York Press says of the Mas sachusetts Republican platform that 1t follows that of the Ohio Republicans 'in the violation of the Federal Constitution by the disfranchisement of those South ern citizens on whom that Constitution has specifically conferred the right to vote, with a penalized prohibition of the deprivation of that right" And The by pledging the party to Federal legisla- tion against lynchinR." This" says our New York contemporary. lis the strong est answer yet to the resurrection Of the face whine. Let the South work out her own problem in her own way"
 Massachusetts would come under that penalty-reduction of representation-just as certainly as Mississippi or South Caro- lima. Maryland. whose new ballot law is viciously assailed by sundry Republican organs, would escape, for she has not dis franchised anybody. Under her law all who are entitled to vote under previous enactments still hold that right But per sons who cannot read are likely to make mistakes iii marking. The disfranchise- ment of illiterateS was put into the fun damental laws of Massachusetts almost helf a century ago and Is there yet. It is wise provision. but 1t shuts out large number of citizens.
 Federal legislation against lynching." so far as relates to the States, is simply impossible. Intelligent Republicans and intelligent citizens generally, irrespective of parties. know that the United States cannot interfere with the criminal juris- prudence of the States. Unless the vic- tims of the lynchers are United States of fcials. their murder Is outside of Federal Jurisdiction, whether 1t occur in Indiana or Arkansas, in Kansas or Texas, in Col orado or Alabama. or in any other mem Der of the family of States.

THE TRUST PROBLEM.
A Leading Republican Paper Says
 Something Must Be Done.

Chicago Tribune.
 The Tribune prints this moaning the views of the editors of number of pa pers. mostly published in the central Western States, concerning the proper
 method of dealing with the trust cues uon, with special reference to what Pres | ident Roosevelt had to say on that sub ject in his Minneapolis speech. These views are of peculiar interest because they undoubtedly express the sentiments
 of the constituents of those who give them.
 The opinions entertained by these edit ors naturally differ somewhat in details, but they are all marked by a tone of mod eration and conservatism The serious and the necessity for taking 1t in hand Is conceded. But there Is a gratifying ab- sence of passion. There Is no pressure for desperate remedies. It Is evident that the subject has been studied pretty thor oughly during the last few years and Is taken up now in more sober and de-
 Hberate manner than 1t was a few years ago. when every aggregation Of capital in whatever form and for whatever pur- pose was so furiously denounced.
 Many of the Republican editors favor
 the adoption of an amendment to the con
 stitution giving to Congress full power over the trusts. Others do not seem to think such an amendment Is necessary,
 and are inclined to believe that Congress
 quate to curb monopolies. The efficacy of State legislation Is doubted by many. Nearly all are united in the belief that President Roosevelt sounded keynote" in his Minneapolis speech.
 These representative men are not ene- mics of capital nor are they enemies of corporations simply because they are great corporations. They have come to understand that they are a necessary part of the new order of things. The men are perfectly willing that corpora tions should have a fair profit on capital actually invested. but they are opposed to excessive dividends on an inflated cap- italization. They are opposed also to the frauds on investors of which the promo ters of so many trusts have been guilty. They desire for the public the protection which publicity and supervision of indus trial enterprises will give 1t.
 It is evident that the people are going
 to insist on Congress taking up this trust
 question and settling it. but they will re-
 quire that the subject be attended to
 calmly and judiciously, with that caution
 and conservatism which the consideration of so great a problem demands.

coNrENTED FARMERS.

From a bulletin recently issued by the Department of Agriculture. we take this:
 The Pennsylvania farmer has an | abundance of food, home-raised and nothing but tea. coffee and salt have been purchased. Large families are the rule and all are brought up to work. It is the mighty power of association thriftily ap- piled, We are told that 'ft is the rarest thing that any of them leave the com munity or farm. They stay there and marry. It is a common thing for them to settle on a portion of the farm or on some neiRhboring farm. The farms are small, and labor is all done by the owner and his family. The girls are all brought up to look after the house. There Is no expense for servants: They have their garden and their fruit. They put up their preserves and their apple butter and such things for their winter use.
 That is certainly an ideal condition of life and if 1t were universal 1t would add much to the aggregate of human happi- ness and contentment. Old Hesiod, many long centuries ago, said: Let 1t please the to keep in order a moderate-siz farm, that so thy gamers may be full of fruits in their season." and these Penn I of the careful and thrifty early Dutch settlers, seem fully to appreciate the ad- vice of the old Greek poet who lived all most three thousand years ago. They have evidently learned the method of iiv- ling contentedly and independently at home, and their young people have no de- sire or incentive to flock to the cities to engage in the never-e ending struggle for existence.
 The same bulletin from which we have louoted draws a parallel between the con. ditions in Pennsylvania and Maryland
 not at all complimentary to the latter
 There the young men, and many of the
 girls, forsake their country homes and
 make their way to Baltimore and other
 cities to become clerks or employees ir
 other pursuits, often finding it dificul
 and grinding business to obtain a liveli
 hood. There Is not much difference. as
 we understand 1t. between soil, climat,
 and natural conditions in the two States
 and it must be that the ancestry of thu
 two populations is responsible for tn,
 difference in their habits and tempera
 ment. While in one community we fnC

THE CoosA RIVER
Its Importance as Compared With
 Some Others.
Gadsden. Ala.. Oct.

Gadsden. Ala. Oct. 10th, 1901. Editor The Advertiser:
 I read with much interest your contro- versy with The Norfolk Virginia-Pilot on the Coosa River improvement question. We are all delighted with the strong stand you take for the placid Coosa and I write to again thank you for same. Feeling the interest I did in the contro- versy on this matter I took it on myself to look up the flow of water that form the broad bosom of the swelling James" l find that by the government report of 1898 and 1899, part 4. Hydrography. page 4s, they give the minimum discharge of the swelling James for 1897, at 300 second same report on page bl they give the minimum discharge of the Coosa for 1897 at 1850 second feet and 1898 at 2,140 sec ond feet. This shows the placid Coosa to be 2-1o times as large as the swell ing James l do not make this compari- son for the purpose of casting any re- factions on the James or any of the his toric streams of the grand old Dominion State, but I make 1t only in defence of our beautiful and placid Coosa which has met the admiration of every generation coming in contact with 1t from the days of Hernando DeSoto down to the present age.
 The Coosa River Is the largest stream in the South except the Mississippi, Ten nessee and Savannah and 1t is just about equal with the Savannah. It is the short est water route to the sea, penetrating the richest combination agricultural and mineral district in the United States and it Is probably without an equal in the world, then to think for a moment that all these great stores of riches shall be denied the right of transportation over the bosom of the placid Coosa, the route intended and designated by nature for their use Is absurd. Let us open the Coosa to through navigation and thereby discharge a duty required of us by na- ture and with the Coosa river opened ever did. Again thanking you for the strong stand you take for the Coosa, am.
 Very respectfully,

HE WAS RIGHT.

Senator PettuS has been bitterly cen sured by one or two organs of the opposi- ton for saying in a recent speech that all men in Alabama who believe in the supremacy of the white race should vote for the new Constitution. That was not his exact language. but the idea was that the white people of Alabama should vote to maintain the rule of the white man. The Senator was exactly right These same critics say that a Democrat should vote for the nominee of his party. and they applaud a public speaker who de- clares that all good Democrats should stick to Democracy. The Senator did not say that all who are for white supre- macy will vote for ratification or that they must do it. Speaking as a leader among white men, and as one who has by long and honorable service won the right to speak for and to the white people of Alabama he advised them that they ought to support the Constitution.
 The advice was proper and timely White men should vote for 1t because 1t | is unmistakably of vital interest to their race. Honest men should support 1t be- cause 1t offers the first and only hope of ] relief from conditions which have become unbearable to honorable men. Demo- crats should vote for 1t because 1t is the work of their chosen representatives and comes to them as the result of much and earnest deliberation. It is not a perfect instrument and is not claimed to be. It is to some extent the result of compromises between men of divergent views. but who were all actuated by desire to do the best thing for all the people of Alabama. White men, honest men. Democrats, all should vote for 1t.
 That there are patriotic, honest white Democrats who will not vote for ratifi- cation Is beyond doubt. They have their own reasons. Ignorance and misinforma- ton actuate some of them, prejudice con trols some, ambition governs some, and various other reasons may control the course of men who are not only good Democrats, but good men, and loyal to their race, but none of these reasons or causes can deprive us of the right to say that they should not oppose ratifca- ton or that they should favor 1t.
 The Senator was right.

Letters to The Editor.
LOCAL LEGISLATION.
For Years Has Been Prevented
 Proper General Statutes.

Proper teneral StatuteS. Editor The Advertiser:
 At the 1885 annual meeting of the Bar | Association of Alabama in the Supreme Court chamber, some of the most trust | ed citizens were persistent and eloquent | in their protest against the senseless and fearful destruction of the legislative fea- | ture of our State government by the growing canker of local legislation. Not a few of these eminent protestants have gone away upon the endless journey. But | their wisdom remains to the living. Their
 noble warnings stand now incorporated in the new Constitution. cite some of them:
 Ex-Governor Watts spoke. He said:
 "It is certainly great evil. this constant and continued increase of local legtsla- ton at our different Legislatures. The | first attempt to restrict it was made in the Constitution of 1861. That provision
 and another were incorporated in the
 Constitution of 1s65."
 Col D. S. Troy said: Every legislator thinks he can get what he wants for his own constituency, and while each Is try ing to do this general legislation is neg lected and the real work of law-making Is postponed until the session is about over. am certain we cannot have prop CT legislation until the evil Is cured, un- less the session Is extended, which would
 be of itself great evil. The game laws and hundreds of other things are con-
 stantly coming up. The Constitution was amended about corporations for the ex-
 press purpose of getting rid of making
 corporations by special act; but a gap
 was left in the clause and the conse-
 quence Is a very large part of the time Is consumed in making private corporations Legislators will get around every pro- vision of the Constitution they can which restricts their power"
 Walter L. Bragg said: '"There is no greater evil in our legislation CT connect ed with 1t than this very subject. It Is useless for anyone man to make an ap- peal to the General Assembly or to the individual members with a view of cor recting it. have seen 1t tried MT. Pres ident, over and over again. In 1875, after the white men had got control and the statute books were covered with statutes that ought to be repealed, there were members from every part of the State, men of influence, and experience and pa- triotism. who insisted upon giving the preference to the most trashy little local legislation over the enactment of general laws for the benefit of all the people of the State.''
 There is not a lawyer in Alabama to- day who was a member of the Bar Asso- ciation then who did not fall promptly in- to line with Colonel Sam Will Johns against the growing disuse of the General Assembly as a fea- ture and function of the general gov ernment of the State.
 The new Constitution is absolutely cer- tain to restore the Legislature to con- stitutional position in our State Govern ment. The old Constitution, if it should be retained, would as surely continue to give us an unconstitutional form of gov
 
 out a Legislature more influential than a beat meeting. D..
