No Extra sassion Needed.

'fThe Governor" says the. Union Springs Herald, lis inclined to. call an extra session or the General Assem- bly. Some hayo deemed that the
 calling of that body would be a neces- sity to make the law conform with the new constitution. The Governor states that the instrument was drafted so nearly as possible to render an extra session unnecessary. The Governor is going to save tne States funds, and you may depend on that" F
 This is the correct view to take of the matter discussed. A Legislative session costs s50,000, and the State has no money to throw away. The constitutional convention cost about $90,000, and the taxpayers should not be called on to pay the expenses of Legislative session that they do not need, an- that would be but vexh- tion of spirit anyway.
 It should be remembered, too, that an extra session of the Legislature would call back the book-trust Legis- lature of unsavory memory, A Legis- latnre that preferred to listen to the book trust rather than to the parents of Alabama IS not the kind of Legis- iature that anybody wants repeated. It's regular session was quite enough, and a second dose of 1t would be re- sented wherever two prices are now pald for school books that other States readily procure at one price. The parents of Jackson County, for ex- ample, pay ten cents for copy books, while across the line in Tennessee as good copy books are sold under an uniform text book law for three cents. Every time voter pays seven cents extra, he knows he is sYindled, and he remembers what Legislature did it. The Union Springs Herald may have forgotten the record of the late Legislature upon the uniform text book law, but the people who send children to the public schools have longer memories.

THREE MUTUAL ADMIRERS.

N. '. Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.
 What might be called a mutual ad- miration society exists between Presi- dent Roosevelt Jacob A. Riis and Arthur von Briesen of New York. None of them ever loses a change to public declare what good men and citizens the other two are and truth to tell each is wholly jus tified in his attitude. In his London Fort nightly Review paper, published about a month ago and widely reprinted, Presi- de Roosevelt pointed out the great work of MT. Briesen with his Legal Aid So- eiety, and of MT. Riis in his work to promote good citizenship. The President declared Mir. Riis to be 1" the most useful citizen in New York; Last Sunday night in Carnegie Hall, Mir. Riis declared that it is a great country that can lose a President like Mckinley, and gain one like Roosevelt" and the sentiment was vigorously applanded. To one privileged to know something of the quality of the friendship of the men. it would almost seem as though it were the spontaneity of three great-hearted boys It Is Teddy" Jake" and Arthur" all the way through. The friendship antedates the period when the President was a po- lice commissioner in. New York, although the work the three then accomplished did much to promote the mutual admiration which certainly exists.

Coal for the South.

On the present rise in the river at Pittsburg about s,OOO,O0O bushels of coal have been dispatched to lower Mississippi points. If pilots could have been secured the shipments would have aggregated 12,000,OOO bushels, or about 450,0O0 tons. On this one rise more coal will be floated two thousand miles down the river than is mined in an entire year in Alabama for Louis- jana points.
 This is a reflection upon Alabama methods and even upon Alabama men. Alabama coal is not at fault, for it contains as much heat-producing ma. terial as Pittsb,rg or any other coal, but Pittsburg has secured slaekwater navigation in the MonongaheIa at gov ernment expense. and the result is that coal mined 2,000 miles away can drive out of market coal mined but 300 miles away
 Alabama is crippled by the want of an Open Warrior. There is now an inland channel from Mobile to New Orleans, but from Demopolis to the mines the river lacks water at least one-half of the year. Millions upon millions of dollars were spent in open ing the Monongahela, and the import ance of opening the Warrior should be impressed upon Congress. Mir. Bank head is q member of the rivers and harbors committee, and he should be supported in the fullest possible man. ner in demand for an Open Warrior, This matter has hung fire too long al, ready.
 When the Warrior is opened Pitts. burg will either sell coal in the lower Mississippi below cost of production or else it will stop sending down mill lions of bushels on every boating stage of it's river. fl

EDUCATION AND DEMOCRACY.

From an address by Prof Goldwin Smith.
 We are never tired of wondering at our progress. It has been as great in educa- ton as fin other departments, I wish you could see the schoolrooms of Eton and their equipments as they were when I was g boy, Some experience of education I have had; as a college teacher and aft erward as a university professor of his tory at Oxford As a professor T had one very notable pupil-his present majes- ty Edward VII. A little class was formed for him in English history. I used to ex- anime him after the lecture, and have no doubt that I bored him to extinction. But he never let me see that he was bored. Prom this I gathered that he would successfully discharge the most arduous duties of royalty If he could listen to a professor who bored him to was bored, he would be able to listen with an appearance of interest and delight to municipal addresses. He would never lose his self-command or, like one of his predecessors knight town clerk in mis- take for the lord mayor.
 I need not magnify the importance of your profession to the commonwealth. A monarchy may do without popular edu- cation. The shepherd is content if the sheep will go or his dog can drive them the way he wishes. To democracy popu- lar education is a vital necessity. Lowe said, rather cynically, we must educate our masters. It is better to say we must educate our political partners. This rec onciles me to the assumption by the state of a duty which nature seems to have assigned to the family have more confidence, confess. in the family than I have in the state, as governments now are. Some say they may be powers of su- preme wisdom and benefcence, so that we may be happy to put everything into their hands. A public school may, by its order, its regularity, its discipline even by it's physical cleanliness and neat ness-afford a certain moral training.

FITzHueH LEES ONLY SCARE.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
 When Fitzhugh Lee was Governor of Virginia he responded to an invitation to attend a reunion of veterans in one of the cities of Florida. He went to a fash ienable hotel, expecting to have to pay a fancy price for accommodations, but not prepared for the staggering rates he found framed on the door of his apart ments.
 T was not. at that time, in a position to incur extrayagant expenses" he says, "and the only way that I could see out of my predieament was to go to the clerk and state that an unexpected matter of pressing importance demanded my im- mediate return to Richmond. This pro- gramme I carried out, and then, bracing myself, asked how much my bill was.
 Your bilif said the hotel man. Why. you don't owe us anything. It's an honor for this hotel to have the Governor of Virginia as guest. and we could not think of accepting pay from you

NOBILITY

By Alec Cary.
 True worth is in being, not seeming; In doing each day that goes by.t Some little good-not in the dreaming Of great things to do by and by. Tor whatever men say in blindness And spite of the fancies of youth. There is nothing so kind as kindness, And nothing so royal as truth. We get back our price as we measure; We cannot do wrong and feel right; Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure. For justice avenges each slight. The air for the wing of the sparrow The bush for the robin and wren, But always the path that is marrow And straight for the children of men. We canont make bargains for blisses. Nor catch them like fishes in nets, And sometimes the things our life misses, Help more than the things which 1t
 gets,
 For good licth not in pursuing, Nor gaining of great nor of small; But just in the doing--and deing. AS we would be done by, is all. Through envy. through malice. through
 hating
 Against the world early and late. No jot of our courage ahating
 Our part is to work and to wait. And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than hit
 worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or btrth

Amending inc Georgia Constitution.

Georgia is endeavoring to reform its constitution by the amendment route, and the Legislature which is in ses- sion is preparing a series of proposi- tions that will be submitted to the peo- pie of the next State election. One of the proposed amendments provides that the term of Governor be changed from two to four years, and that he be ineligible for four years after the ex- piration of his term"
 Thus is the new constitution of Ala bama vindicated. Alabama, however, goes further by making Governor ineligible to reelection, and he cannot be elected to the United States Sen ate during his term or within one year from it's expiration. The chief trouble in all States is that Governor who has about run his course in the execu- tive office goes 10 plotting for term in the Federal Senate, subordinating the public service to his private scheme, deceiving himself with the assumption that no one could serve the State so well at Washington as he. The new Alabama constitution cuts off all such scheming and plot ting in office, and the Georgia Logisla- ture would do we'll to put an end to the evil n it's State.
 What is wanted is a Governor who will not dclude himself into thinking that he is that good or even a sole means to it. In this State Legisla- lures are four years apart, and new Legislature meets just after each Gov ernor goes out of four-year term. That Legislature cannot elect the re- tiring Governor to the United States Senate. and the next Legislature does not meet until four years have elapsed. " that time the retiring Governors
 cial machine would have disap.
 red altogether. In this State the

Smashino the Machines.

President Roosevelt is a persistent and also a stubborn man. When he determines to follow a certain policy, no man or set of men can turn him away from it. The entire history of his active life shows that this is the nature of the man. Grover Cleveland was not greatly unlike him in the re- spect of steady, undertaking personal force. Both of these New Workers are forceful men, the latter one think ing and acting quicker than the earlier one, but neither is inclined to yield to outer circumstances, or to conform to other mems wishes or opinions.
 Beyond all doubt the stubborn and persistent MT. Roosevelt has determ- ined to disregard all political ma chimes, partly because he hopes in that way to gain larger following among the common people, and partly because the machines are against him anyway. The machines in each State desire a man who will hand out pie without word. Such 8 man was the late President. MT. Mckinley meant well; he preferred to put honest men in office. but he was wholly in the hands of the political machines with which each State and territory is well equipped.
 The man who considers MT. Roose- welt tyro in politics forgets that he has Leen in active politics twenty years at least. He has been a student of politics that length of time, and he was not asleep single day in all Lat time He saw and studied all utsst was goinslon in political life in
 country at least He can put his 6and on every machine leader in every oae of the States. He knows the Hanna machine in Alabama as we'll as if he had gone through it with a lantern. Let no one consider MT. Roosevelt as a greenhorn in politics. for he has cut his eye-teeth, and they are good strong teeth.
 If things happen suddenly in this State in federal circles let the fact be kept in mind that Hanna machine existed or does exist here, and that Mir. Roosevelt has no use for Hanna machine in any State. The Age-Herald has no interest in these squabbles within the Republican party except as a mere observer of events. One Re publican is as good as another to this paper, and none of them are very de- sirable, but elaborate explanations are not needed when a Hanna machine mans head falls into the basket.
