Chanae Of Front Demanded.

President Roosevelt is authorized
to set about building an isthmian
canal on tho Nicaragua route when
a reasonable time has elapsed in
the course of efforts in behalf of
Panama canal. Nearly a year has
been wasted in fruitless attempts to
secure rights on the Panama route,
and the country begins to think the
time has come to abandon the Pan
anna plan altogether and to take up
the Nicaragua route.
Colombia refuses to eede sovereign
rights over the territory traversed by
the canal. She proposes to govern it
although vast sums of American
money are to be expended upon the
strip, much of it to the benefit of her
people. Nor is this. all. She is decker
ing for large bonus. The United
States has made this proposition: A
lump indemnity of S10,000,000 and an
annual rental of $4,000. or an in
demnity of 100000 and an annual
rental of 100000 Colombia demands
lump indemnity of s10,O00000 and
an annuity after fourteen years of
100000. For this she surrenders
her right to port dues and almost all
local taxes, also her claim for per
cent of the earnings of the canal and
the reversionary right to full owner
ship of the canal 100 years after It's
completion.
Thus far no treaty at all has been
negotiated, and the prospect for one
is by no means good. Negotiations
have been transferred to Bogota, and
no assurance has been received that
any treaty at all can be negotiated.
The reasonable time" mentioned in
the canal bill will soon elapse, If it
has not already, and the government
should not wait much longer on the
Colombian government The advan-
tages that the Nicaragua route offer
are too great to justify much more
waiting upon the uncertain and dick
ering Colombian government.

UNIFORM TEXr BOOKS.

From the Montevallo Sentinel
We hope, and we believe the next legis-
lature will pass a uniform text book law
for Alabama. Under the present sys-
tenn % 1t costs as much, If a man have
two or three children, to purchase school
books as it does to buy flour for his fam
lily. At present every time a new teach
er takes charge of a school parents are
compelled to purchase a new set of
books or keep their children at home.
Aside from the great expense to parents
to purchase new books they are at the
mercy of arbitrary rulings of teachers
from which their is no appeal Adopt
text books that will be the books used in
every county in the state; give the poor
man and his children chance, and kick
the school book combine and all its sup
porters in this state into the Gulf of
Mexico.
The price put upon school books by
the book trust american Book company
is beyond all reason. A uniform text book
law will bring about cheaper prices for
books and the article be just as good or
better than is now furnished by the book
trust.
The Sentinel believes, too. that teach
ers will be better-more competent-if
uniform text books are established
throughout the state, and this should be
a strong argument in favor Of such law.
But above all, the great benefit will be
to the poorer classes who are put to
great expense-as a teacher dictates
purchasing new books every change of
the moon almost, or their children must
lose an opportunity to secure even a
common school education. The Sentinel
favors the enactment of law governing
child labor, but we feel that the school
book question in this state is equally i'm
portant.
We hope, therefore, that the legislature
will give the book trust to understand
that the lawmakers of Alabama are ca
pable of enacting laws for our people
without any of its persuasive" influence.

Little Lolita Armour to Undergo Fur
Their Treatment in Austria.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
Lolita Armour will be taken to Vienna
to receive final treatment by Prof Adolf
Lorenz. Five months must yet elapse
before there can be perfect cure of the
congenital hip dislocation, for which the
noted viennese performed an operation
early in October. And after the right
limb Of the little invalid has been taken
from it's plaster cast, 1t will have to be
massaged by an expert until it has as
sumed the just and symmetrical proper

to the left one.

ReassembrInn Of Conuress.

Not much business will be trans
acted before the long Christmas re-
cess, and after that recess but two
months remain to the Fifty-seventh
congress. 1t cannot therefore do much
more than pass the appropriation
bills.
But other questions will be pressed.
The ship subsidy grab has passed
the senate, and a desperate effort
will be made to rush it through the
house. The omnibus bill for the adj
mission of Oklahoma, New Mexico
and Arizona has passed the house,
and its friends hope to get it through
the senate. The bill to create de-
partment of commerce may be passed.
No bill, however, that does not have
the republicans solidly behind it can
go through. No contested bill has a
good chance in the short session, for
antagonism means debate, and debate
means defeat when the session must
come to an end on March 4.
The republicans will no doubt make
a show of curbing the trusts, and of
granting some sort of aid to Cuba,
and possibly of beginning move
ment looking to tariff revision. None
of these efforts will mean much,
simply because the strong interests
that thrive in and through the tariff
and its trusts are campaign contri-
butors, are each and all represented
in congress, and are in one way or
another the power behind the repub-
lican throne. Nothing of substantial
nature touching the tariff or the
trusts it fosters need be expected.
Some pretences in that direction
may be attempted.
Altogether the session will prob
ably be tame and embarrassing. re-
publicans will be held responsible for
its sins. of commission or omission,
and that is probably about all there
is of it.

eoRMAN FOR PRESIDENT.

From the Savannah News.
If the democracy is to make a winning
fight in the next campaign, 1t must have
as its leader a man of national reputa-
ton: one who has not been prominently
identified with the advocacy of those pol
icies that have done so much to weaken
it with the people. but who, at the same
time has In season and out of season
stood manfully by the party's principles.
The partys emergency requires strong
man, one who can arouse the enthusiasm
of the masses, and in whom the country
has confidence. A leader is wanted who
has proved himself able in debate. wise
in council and always steadfast to the
best interests of the people.
There is one such leader, whose name
has repeatedly been mentioned in connec-
ton with the presidency, but who, with
modesty only equalled by his ability, has
never urged himself upon his party. He
has preferred rather to use his talents
for the advancement of the party, him
self meanwhile remaining a worker and
adviser in the ranks. How well he has
worked, how wisely he has advised. how
ably he has managed. has been seen a
number of times.
The gentleman referred to is the Hon.
Arthur Pue German of Maryland. He
is a typical American and a steadfast
democrat. His rise in life from a page

is an earnest of his inherent ability, and
his career is an example to American
youth. He is an honor to his state and
country Strong in his personality. no
word can be said truthfully against his
political career. At times he has shown
an independence of thought and action,
but 1t was always on the side of conserv-
atism, and through it all he has ever been
an unflnching democrat.
In the south he has always been pop
ular, because of his friendship for the
southern people. In the norIh he is strong
because of his sound and conservative
democracy. If there is one democrat in
the country stronger than another before
the people that man is Arthur Pue Cor

lost and reunite it upon a platform of
sound principles, he is that leader

The immigration bill that will come
before the senate contains the Under
wood amendment directed against the
admission of immigrants who cannot

amendment as "a new and cruel Of
Tense and an iniquity to Italy" 1t is
difficult to see how it can be in

The Underwood amendment is not
directed against Italy especially. 1t
aims to exclude all who cannot read
and write, because those who can
not read anu write cannot be readily
fashioned into American citizens, and
as a rule they have no trade, no
money, no great amount of energy or
ambition, and they settle down in

Merchant of Venice.
Qualified County superiniendenis.


Elsewhere In this number of The
Age-Herald will be found a letter
from Mrs. Kate H. Morrissette Of
Montgomery, touching the eligibility
of county superintendent of educa-
ton. Tt should be read by every
friend Of the public schools, and
especially by every member of the
legislature that will soon be assem-
bled. AS Mrs. Morrissette stated not
long ago the superintendency of our
schools "as it exists under present
Alabama laws is an affront to our
teachers, and a crime to our chill
dren." It is even more than that
it is blow aimed at the prosperity
of the state, for the state fifty years
from now will be, as Mrs. Morris
settle clearly stated. what the public
schools of today make it.
But why should Alabama alone of
states continue to lack an education
al qualification for eligibility to the
office of county superintendent? The
black belt once held an exceptional
position in this matter, but the black
belt is nc. longer exceptional. 1t has
q choice, limited and intelligent cleo
torate, and what is good for north
Alabama county is good fer black
belt county Why, then, should not
all sections of the state pull together
in favor of law providing for quail.
fed county superintendent? AS
things stand now any illiterate block
head who can command political sup
port can aspire to a county superin-
tendency, and as a matter of fact
two-thirds of the county superintend-
ents are illiterate and wholly unfit
for the duties of the office. The chief
duty of the office. is to inspire and
lead the teachers to higher and bet
ter efforts, and an illiterate county
superintendent cannot do anything of
that nature.
Can the legislature afford to leave
the 100000 children who will in the
next generation have charge of the
state, in the hands of unfit county
superintendent? No matter what the
politicians say, or the associated
county superintendent say, can the
next legislature afford to let this sort
of thing go on?
