ALABAMA's UNIvERsITY.
"ciumination and Illumination.

"Clumination and Aluminatcn.' Editor The Advertiser:
 Gibbon has told of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire,-States and municipalities expiate their sins of omis- sion and commission in this self.same manner
 Institutions of learning rise and fall and are subject to fluctuations of pop uiarity and obscurity; 1t appears al- most a law of the physical universe that success shall not be continuous. The ancient cities of the East are an- nually laid bare by the antfquartan's skill. and we do homage to their his torical renown.
 All persons with eyes unblinded and ears unmuffled have been compelled to know of the various throbbings of discomfort and rumblings of discord which have prevailed in Alabama's rev. cred University. Like Caesars great ness. this knowledge has been thrust upon us."
 "Calumniation and illumination" have both been arrogant, rank and loud; and 1t Is a most difficult matter to arbitrate their differences. As Shakespeare has it:
 Bondage is hoarse and may not speak
 aloud"
 It's Calumniators have existed for a series of years. Some have been dis satisfied with its bali-bearing gearings of political machinery, which have at times had a supremacy; others on ac- count of it's prestige and State guard ianship; some to vent their spleen from imaginary causes, and even denomina- tional bias: and still others opposing it's strict corsetted military discipline. not to mention a few whose axes are akf o,,x& &Aw.
 The handwriting Is on the wall-to every one--that an institution of learn ing cannot give satisfaction. but to a few. when a Political Oligarchy is at it's helm.
 In some specially endowed institu- tions. as the Leland Stanford, Jr., Uni- versity, of California, and the school so highly favored with millions by acknowledgements unrest and friction was evident, when so much unwise egotism asserted itself, and an outside dictatorship threatened the very integ- rity and usefulness of these wealthy institutions.
 In classical times mariners were warned of the Homeric monsters-Scyl- la and Charybdis. Do we not now see an institution swerving from the Scyl- Han rock or political sway. and the many pointed lances of "Calumina- ton" bristling in its frontf Yet:
 What was it, that passed like an ominous breath Like a shiver of fear, or . touch of death."
 Even so! Is there not e luminous theory, Q prophetic fact,-that there may be a Charybdis near? A whirpool of 'Alumniation'' to engulf all that remains. See you the flotsam and jet sam of official wrecks floating in the foam high tossed, watch the scud of the breakers splash. Iris fime-ship ahoy, strong hands on the rudder bear; --let the flashlights flare,-run up the semaphores high,-fire the signal,-fire, through the hazy sphere let the red lgts flare. Hoist away! Ho, now. To the right, and for the right. Sic vos Non Vobis, etc.

SCIENTIFIC FARMING
IN THE GREAT WEST
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 27.-The depart
ment Of agriculture has issued a report
of the general agricultural conditions in
the Pacific coast region, saying that al
though the tendency for the last Is
years has been toward gradual re-
duction Of area Of individual farms and
ranches, they are still of a size much
larger than the average farm of the
East. or even Of the Middle West.
Another distinctive feature, especial
ly in the great valley areas of Cali
fornia, is the use Of machinery Of great
capacity, which means economy Of hu-
man labor: but often also means a
waste of grain. Every effort is made to
combine several operations into one.
TRANSPORTATION Of the enormous quanti-
ty of Pacific coast wheat has been re-
duced to a science.
The report says it has taken about "a,
600, 900 bushels of wheat to supply the
foreign markets with Pacific coast
wheat and -four. OF this amount CAL
ifornia ports furnished more than co..
900 bushels.
