Milton B. Ochs of Chattanooga, Tenn, travelling inspector of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, Is in the city. MT. Ochs is one of the ochs brothers, who are famous throughout the South as three of the most successful newspaper men this section of the country has pro- duced.

 It has been fifteen years since MT. Ochs, who is staying at Clanceys Hotel, has been in Montgomery, and he said last night that the development of the city in that time was a revelation to him.
 There is a substantial look about the city that makes an impression on visit ors," said Mr. Ochs, speaking to a repre- sentative of The Advertiser. ''The streets were not paved when I was here several years ago, and there were not many of these handsome buildings that We see all about us. Certainly, Montgomery has felt the breath of prosperity that has been sweeping over this great country.
 'This Southern country has prospered beyond the most sanguine expectations of the people, and greater things are to come"
 Constitution.
 We Chattanoogans are close neighbors of Alabama, you know," he said, "and we feel a deep interest In the ratification of your new Constitution. Notifications in the fundamental laws of State govern ments invariably indicate progress and are always for the best. I am familiar with the proposed Constitution and near ly every change from the old one will no doubt rebound to the great good of the State. Its adoption will be another step toward the progress and prosperity that is daily attracting the attention of the whole world to the States of the South" Notwithstanding MT. Ochs has not been actively engaged in newspaper work since he gave up his desk as managing editor of The Chattanooga Times, five years ago, he Is a studious reader of newspapers and is one of the best-informed men in the South.
 ''The Booker Washington-Roose din- ner incident has no real significant meaning" he declared President Roose- welt is impulsive and impetuous. He made a grave mistake and he no doubt realizes it. I set great store by him as President. He Is intensely honest, lib- eral and patriotic. Before his admlnis-

He has a keen perception and a thorough knowledge of current events. due to his long and close association with work will remain in Montgomery several days, after which he will take trip through Alabama, vis- ting all of the principal cities in the State.
 The career of the Ochs brothers has | been watched with interest by all news paper publishers and persons interested | in the newspaper life of the South. | Several years ago Adolph Ochs, the | oldest brother. acquired control of The
 Chattanooga Times. Later he associated | with him his two brothers, George Ochs | and Milton Ochs. The newspaper was
 managed by the brothers in counting
 rooms, editorial rooms and mechanical
 department. It was success. Then the
 Ochs brothers founded The Tradesman. a | trade journal. It grew and prospered and | older newspaper men looked on and won
 dered at the success of the young men. | About four years ago Adolph Ochs, by one great stroke of enterprise, secured | control of The New York Times, one of the finest pieces of newspaper property | in the world. He went to New York and l gave the property the benefit of his
 marked business sagacity and broad
 minded editorial perception. Again suc- cess came his way and the newspaper world was astounded at his brilliant busi- ness discretion and foresight. The New York newspaper, under his guidance, was swung into line as the leading newspaper In the metropolis, and Adolph Ochs, like Napoleon, looked around for new news paper fields to conquer.
 His eyes turned to Philadelphia. In the | Quaker City he found Col. A. K. Mcclure about to retire from active Journalism, | and, to the amazement of newspaper publishers throughout the country, it was announced that the 'Noogan had swoop- ed down upon Philadelphia and acquired | The Times, the oldest and best newspaper | in that city.
 Flying the banner. "All the News | That's Fit to Print" at its masthead,
 Adolph Ochs Is still piloting these three great newspapers on to greater success. | He gives his personal attention to the New York enterprise and his brother, George Ochs, who has served several times as Mayor of Chattanooga, sits at the helm of The Philadelphia Times. A brother-in-law, Henry c. Alder. manages The Chattanooga Times, and Milton B. Ochs, the younger brother, who Is spend ing few days in Montgomery. is jointly
