Few men have ever left a greater
mark upon the face of continent than
the late Cecil Rhodes made IN South
Africa. Modern history presents few
greater examples of empire builders,
though many far grander figures have
been connected with the establishment
and growth of modern. powers. He

doubtless from his point of view the
great ends he sought to attain justified
the relentless means he. sometimes
adopted for their accomplishment.

Shipbuilding i'm This County

Shipbuilding is getting to be quite
an industry i'm this county. Three new
steamers, built within the past few
months, are nearly completed-the
Messenger, launched at Griffin bay on
the 23rd inst; the Hope, of Richard
son, launched at the Schruder yard at
Mud bay on the oath inst, and the
Raven, built.and owned by Dennison
Bros, of Shaw island. In addition to
these is the Mary c., now being built
by Cayou & Reed, of Decatur, and An
drew Newhall's new mail steamer un-
der construction at Cascade bay. 1t
will probably be about three months
before the two last mentioned vessels.
which are much larger than the others,
will be completed. During the winter
ther, have also been important altera-
tions made to other vessels built i'm the
county, among them the little steamer
Fawn, of Decatur, and the Hector,
which WAS thoroughly overhauled at
Blind bay, Shaw island, and has had
entirely new machinery built for her at
Fairhaven, the ola having been sold TO
Victor Mcconnell to be put into new
hull built by him at West Sound.
The several new vessels mentioned,
whea completed and equipped with
their machinery, will have cost not far
from $4,000.

HANNA ON CAPITAL AND LABOR

Alta recent dinner of the New York
Ohio Society Senator Hanna made a
brief, forcible address on labor and cap
ital. In part he said:
"The great natural resources of our
country coupled with the terrific energy
OF our cosmopolitan people have made us
what we area people whose capitalists
of today were the lahorerS of yesterday.
The men who are the heads of our great
iron and steel industries in this country
are the men who worked first at the pud-
die, tho furnace and the roll. There stands
the aristocracy of labor; not the aristoc-
racy of blood, but the aristocracy of
brains and Drawn.
1--WE have gone ahead in this country
until now, for the first time In our his
tory, capital stands alone on its own foun-
dationS. We are today a creditor nation,
and fast becoming the money center OF
the world. 1t surely is not strange that
this question or capital and labor is being
forced to the public attention. It is not
strange that the men who do things
should begin 10 consider that problem
from social standpoint.
IF the development of wealth is to
make us strong in this country we should
see to il that all who contribute to the de-
velopment of this wealth have fair and
equal consideration. The men who work
with their hands are as much a part of
this wealth as the men who work with
their brains, and they are entitled to a
share of all the good that comes from it,"

j. Henry Smith, of Skagit county, a

to be "slated for appointment as regis

the necessary connections at the White

dental veto in this respect, according
to the press dispatches from Washing
ton, being Jesse Frye, of Whatcom,
who was slated" for the United States
district attorneyship. 1t must be some
what embarrassing To a senator, who
has been led to look upon important
federal appointments as personal per-
quisites of his position, to be told that his
candidates for the most coveted places
Will have To ''go away back and sit

PROF. ATWATEa ON ALCOHOL

From the Kansas City Journal.
The world needs no encouragement sci
entifc or otherwise, to use alcoholic
ought to. 1t does need encouragement of
every wholesome kind to consume less.
All that Professor Atwater alleges might
be admitted and there would still remain
the most powerful and urgent reasons
why the young should be warned against
the banefui effects Of alcohol upon the
human system and upon humanity. For
Afwater only claims that It's good effects
are derived when used In small quapti-
ties; yet he knows perfectly WELL as ev-
cry one else does, that the alcoholic appe-
title is growing one and that habit soon
TRANSFORMS the small quantities into
larger and harmful quantities. 1t re-
quires no argument to prove that alco-
hoiic stimulant In beverage form is
curse to the world. The crime, poverty
and distress 1t causes are too great to be
hidden even to blndest eyes. 1t would be
vastly better for Professor Atwater to
forego a little personal glory in the line
of scientific discovery than to promulgate
theories which may add to the millions
Of victims who go down under the raw
ages Of alcoholism II he cannot aid
those who are endeavoring to impress
youthful minds with the destructive ef-
fects Of liquor drinking. he should at
least refrain from throwing impedimente
In their way.

Mr.. Carnegie's Institution.

The board of trustees for the Car
negie Institution, headed by the Pres
ident acting ex-oficio, has been ap-
pointed. The only Southern member
of the board is andrew D. White, of
Louisiana, a justice of the Supreme
Court, There is not, however, need
for further Southern representation,
as neither sectionalism nor politics is
involved. This board is to meet Jan
uary 20, when executive offlctfs will
be selected, and the organization per-
fected. 1t seems to be understood that
the revenue of the institution will be
$500 600, but it is not publicly known
what kind Of bonds will yield the rev.
epue. The government is not directly
responsible for the conduct of the
| institution, and can exercise no con-
troll over it. The official plan has, in
other words, been abandoned.
The great object of the new institu-
ton is declared to be the encourage
ment of investigation, research and
discovery "in the broadcast and most
liberal manner" This is to be accom-
plished IN these ways:
Here Is work enough cut out for
any institution, and II win doubtless
prove that the donor has builded
wisely and we'll Such an institution
can readily become an important
factor of an increasing national life,
and a benefactor OF all mankind, for
1t is not possible to confine its work
to one country, even IL such a restric-
ton were desirable.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
he Great Round World.

ne drtdL hounu w OTiu
In order to follow intelligently the ad-
vance of wireless telegraphy from the
beginning some rough idea must be had of
the modern physicists views regarding
tho nature of electrical phenom To
this end all space must be regarded as
permeated by a something termed the
luminiferous ether Not only does this
ether permeate the spaces between the
heavenly bodies apd our atmosphere
(Which conception offers little difficulty
to the lay mind) but 1t also permeates all
solids. Further. its nature is such that
the movement even of solids Is not In the
least restrained by such permeation, the
closest analogy being that of sieve, rep
resenting the solid, being moved about in
water representing the ether.
The ether is the seat not only of all
electrical. phenomena, but also of all the
phenomena of light and heat. All of these
apparently 20 distinct, are but the result
of vibrations or waves on the ether. the
apparent differences being due only to
differences in the length of the waves and
the rapfdity with which they occur, lust
as one musical note differs from another
in the same particulars, only that the
sound waves are air waves and not ether
waves.
Now with the usual telegraphic m ethods
the current as it is termed is sent or di-
rected through space by means of a me-
taiiic conductor Actually nothing passes
through the wire. as is implied by the
use of the word current, What ac-
tually takes place lis the transmission of
energy along the path of the wire by
means of vibrations in the neighboring
ether. That is. the metal of the wire
acts merely as. guide for the ether
waves to the destination desired.
In wireless teiegraphy. ether vibrations
are also set up at the transmitting sta
ton, but these having no conducting
guide radiate in all directions through
space. and small percentage of them
arrives at the receiving station. and by
means of suitable apparatus are made
appreciable by the senses. or recorded.

Kissing kubeIic.

AS sensation or fad with emotional
women Kubelic. the young vioiinist
seems to be getting the best of Paderews-
XII, the long haired pianist said a Biz
mingham musician.
AT his last matinee In New York
kubelic not only played divinely,' as
the saying goes but he drove the tender
sex crazy. AT the close of the perform
ance not less than one thousand women
rushed to the stage. some for locks of
the folders hair, others for pieces of his
black necktie and others still for kisses.
''Paderewski never objected to a fuss
being made over him. That was a helm
to his business. But he drew the line
at any attempt to rob him of his hair,
and so far as I can recall he never kiss
ed a woman In public.
"Kubelic, it is said, tried to escape INV
thing like tender caresses but he lust
couldn't He struck New York in the
silly season. The fair devotees of violin
music having started the osculatory
fashion will doubtless keep 1t up. 1t will
be different when Kubelic comes to Bir-
mingham.
Speaking as musician. Kubelic is
not the artist that Paderewski is. He
strong point, from all accounts. is tech
nique. He lacks poetry and intellectual
force. These qualities come only with
age. AS for violinists. Ysaye combining
technique and brains, must be far ahead
of him.

Alabama is particularly interested
In the bill that Senator Tillman intro
duced and is supporting to apply a
: portion of the proceeds of the receipts
from public land sales toward the
maintenance OF departments Of mining

The bill appropriates to each State
or territory $4,000 in the first year
of its operation, and $1,000 additional
IN each Of the first five succeeding
years, after which time the annual
appropriation shall stand at $4,000.
The bill provides that the money
shall be expended "for geological in

wholesale merchant who has long taken
an interest in public affairs.
Ever since 1899, when the government
gave agriculture a place in the cabinet
the commercial interests of the country
have been agitating for similar recogni-
tion. Our bill would have gone through
before this had we been able to command
the political backing that agriculture
brought to bear. When industries were
included the chances for the passage of
the measure frightened. This scheme had
political significance, and we felt tnat
with commerce and industries combined
success was sure to come in time
1.-THE new office will require man or
exceptional ability. In the first place the
secretary should be a business man of ex-
perience.- In the next place he should
have turn for statistics and be able to
utilize them in broad, philosophical way.
And finally he should be a stateman
Statesmanship need not play very I'M
portant part in the agricultural depart
ment. The principal thing required there
is a knowledge of practical farming on
advanced scientific lines
But as our mercantile and industrial In
terests expand they become complex They
become more and more related to political
economy and affect more and more our
foreign relations. For these reasons
therefore, craftsmanship must enter into
the make up of the secretary of COM
merce. The department Of commerce will
rank in Importance with the treasury de-
partment which has always been second
only to the department of state.

with only five cabinet officers-secretary
of state. secretary of the treasury. secre-
tary of war. attorney general and post
master general The secretary of the navy
was added in 1893, the secretary OF the
interior in 1919 and the secretary OF ag-
riculture only twelve years ago, just as
Cleveland was about to retire from the
Presidency at the end of his first term.
Mr.. Cleveland appointed Norman j. Col

rison administration came in and Uncle

California Hospitality.

.'San Francisco is fast becoming con-

of view this is as 1t should be-" said a
man who had been there.
ION account of its great distance from

ditions have been changed by the compe-
tition in trans-continental transportation.
This competition has shorte ned the time.

Ice SO that now tour to the Pacific is
as easy as trips to points much nearer.
Another reason why San Francisco is
get ting to be high on the list Of conven-
ton cities is it's hospitality. Boston,
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Louisville, New
Orleans and St Louis are noted for en-
tertaning large visiting bodies in royal
style, but not one of them can surpass
men of the Pacific city have the wealth
and they know how to turn it loose when
strangers come to town.
"Then, too. among San Francisco's adj
vantages as a host is the fact that 1t
collects. in inexhaustible supply the
wines of California, which are fruitier
than foreign wines and more appreciated
by the average American.
when conventions assemble in Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and other Eastern cities
the delegates see much that is beauti-
full, historic and stimulating to the pa
triotic feeling. But when 1t comes to that
which is set forth to satisfy the inner
man, native yintages are missing. 1t is
California wine. shipped by the way of
Europe. with foreign labels attached,
that is offered to the guests.
But in San Francisco one has the
pleasure-and it is not without a degree
of sentiment-of drinking the unadulter-
ated article without the disguise of French
or Spanish trimmings. And there is moth
ing more wholesome than this same Cali
fornia product.
mo wonder the knights Tempiar are
looking forward eagerly to 1904 when their
triennial conclaye meetsin San Francisco.
THE Templars held an encampment
there many years ago. Major Charles
Wheelock and perhaps other of the Birm-
ingham knights recall the occasion with
delight. But the entertainment at that
triennial wasn't a circumstance to the
programme being arranged for the coming
affair.""
