SENATOR E. w. PETTus.

From the Greensboro Record
During the six years that General e.
w. Pettus has served as United States
senator from Alabama it has been his
unique record that he has never once
missed a roll call. Wind or snow, rain
or sunshine. he has always been in his
seat and hard at work long before ehe
senate meets and the roll is called.
Senator Pettus is a candidate for re-
election before the next legislature of
Alabama There has not been, nor will
there be, any name proposed in opposition
to him, and deservedly so because of the
high esteem and personal confidence that
the people of Alabama have in him. In
peace as in war he has shown himself
faithful and true.
The legislature meets in Montgomery
on Tuesday, January 49, and congress
convenes in Washington on Monday.
January o. If Senator Pettus is to be in
Montgomery at the next session of the
legislature, he win necessarily be unable
to answer roll call in Washington, and
the proud record of his service is lost.
Should not the legislature of Alabama
prevent this?
Senator Pettus, of course, would like
to appear before the legislature and ten
der IN person his thanks for the honor
conferred on him by reelection but
to do so he would sacrifice a record that
is unequaled in the annals of the senate.
He alone now enjoys the proud distinc-
ton of having always answered present
to every roll call since the first day he
TOOK his seat as senator from Alabama.
We suggest to the members of the leg
islature that each individual senator and
representative write to Senator Pettus
ana assure him of their confidence in
MIN and their support, and suggest to
him that he keep his record and remain
In Washington, not returning to be pres
ent at the meeting of the legislature;
that they as individuals VIII look to his
interests. Let him in his honored seat in
the United States senate receive the
news of the honor of reelection.
win not the papers of the state take
up this suggestion and offer it to their
senators and representatives?

PASSING OF coLoRED MEMBER,

From the Washington Times
In the next house of representatives, as
III the present ono, there will be no negro
member. The suffrage amendments to
the constitutions Of a half dozen south
ern states which from time to time re-
turned colored brother have practically
eliminated the Afro-American from poli-
tics, at least from an elective office.
Henceforth there VIII be no blackbirds
in the political pie. This too, notwith-
standing the fact that about one-elevnth
of the total population of eighty millions
of the United States are negroes
Perhaps the strangest feature in this
connection is the fact that where the col
ored mans vote does his party the great
est good he has the less influence and the
least power But for the Fifteenth
Amendment Indiana would unquestiona-
bly, be a democratic state, and Ohio and
Illinois would be extremely doubtful
while should the solid colored vote be
cast for the democratic party instead Of
the republican party in those states they
would unquest.onably be democratic. 1t
Is thus that the negro con rols the bal
ance of power, but he is too poor a poll
tician to obtain any return for what he
does to keep LIS republican brethren in
office He and his race vote as a unit
and destroy the influence they would
otherwise WELD.

Trade With Germany.

The government party in the reich
stag reinforced by the agrarians and
contrasts have succeeded in passing a
tariff bill in answer to or in retalia-
ton of our noble tariff. The agra
rians represent tho landowners, and
they naturally supported the bill, and
the centrists were won over, it is be-
lieved, by promises Of concessions in
religious matters centrists repre-
senting the Catholics of Germany.
The bill does not name particular
duties, as the Dingley bill does, but
1t empowers Count Won Buelow to
take aggressive tariff steps against
any country that discriminates against
German products. 1t is well under
stood that the bill has Dingleyism in
who have been supporting the Dingley
bill will thus get dose of their own
medicine that will open their eyes to
l., true situation.
Our trade with Germany is very
considerable. In the last fiscal year
we sold Germany goods to the value
of $173,000000, am we bought from
Germany goods worth S102,000000.
OF the goods sold by us to Germany
over three-fourths consisted of agri-
cultural products-cotton, provisions,
bread stuffs, tobacco, oil cake and
meal, and cotton seed oil. The other
one-fourth consist. of petroleum,
copper and a small amount of manu-
featured goods. No doubt a heavy
duty will be lald on American bread
and meats, and the northwestern far
mers may thus lose a market to which
they have been sending grain and
meats to the value of $40, 100000 an
nually We have been selling Ger
many corn, wheat and wheat -four In
liberal quantities, also lard, oleomar-
garine, bacon and sausage castings. A
little concre.e lesson in Dingleyism
will do no harm, 1t being certain that
Count Won Buelow cannot well Guido
the Dingley bill in the respect of pro-
hibitive duties.

War on Boil WeevIIs.

The boil weevil problem is in Texas
a very serious matter, and 600 dele
gates recently assembled in Dallas for
the purpose of deyising steps to com
bat the pest from over the Rio
Grande. It is estimated that it des
troyed this year in Texas cotton worth
from ten to fifteen million dollars, and
the district infested by it is widening
year by year. 1t now constitutes d
menace to the prosperity of the entire
cotton belt.
The convention appealed to the leg
islature of Texas for help, and it fur
thermore declared that congress
should take hold of the subject, be-
cause it will soon cross state lines
unless 1t is fought. back with skill ana
determination and ample resources.
The same power that stamps out the
foot and mouth disease in New Eng
land can certainly exterminate the
boil weevil pest in Texas, the ravages
OF the latter being much greater than
that of the former.
The Mexican cotton boil weevil be-
gan about ten years ago to damage
the cotton fields of Texas, and each
year its ravages have increased, COW
ering additional territory, and spread
ing with marvellous and alarming
rapidly" The gathering of the Dali
las convention shows how great the
menace of the pest has become to
the crop, and no doubt an effort will
be made to have congress assist in
checking the ravages of the Mexican
boil weevA.

SOMETIME.

Sometime, when all lifes lessons have

And Sun and Stars forevermore have

The things which our weak Judgment

The things DER witch we grieved with

Will flash before us out of life's dark
night,
AS stars shine most in deepest tints Of
blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans were
right,
and how what seemed reproof was love
true.
And we shall see how, while we frown
and sigh,
Gods plans go ON as best FOR you and
me;
How when we called, he needed not our
cry,
Because his wisdom to the end could
And even as wise parents disallow
Too much of sweet to craving baby
hood,
So God, perhaps is keeping from us now
Lifes sweetest things because it SEEM

And IT, sometimes, commingled with
lifes wine,
We find the NORWOOD, and rebel and

Be sure a wiser hand thans yours or
mine
Pous out this potion for our lips to
drink.
And If some friend we have is lying low
Where human kisses cannot reach his
face,
oh! do not blame the loving Father so.
But wear your sorrow with obedient
gracei
And you shall shortly know that length
ened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends his

And that, sometimes. the sable pail of

Fall Of the Industrial States.

Illiteracy and industrialism seem
to go hand in hand. For example.
Massachusetts,, which was second in
1890 in the percentage OF illiteracy in
children between 10 to IA years of
age, was in 1900 the ninth state. This
fall is said to be due to the influx Of
French Canadians, Portuguese, Italian,
Russian and Syrian children in its
factory towns. Cheap labor brings in
its train iliteracy.
Nor was the change in Massachu-
sets solitary and exceptional. In
1890 New York occupied the eighth
place, Pennsylvania the sixteenth, ILL
nois the fifth, Ohio the third and New
Jersey fifteenth, Mark the changes in
1900! New York had become the
fourteenth state, Pennsylvania the
twentieth, Illinois the fifteenth, Ohio
the fourth, and New Jersey the TWEEN
ty-first. Nebraska, Iowa and Oregon
all agricultural state, are at the top
of the list, while at the bottom of the
list, or very near it, are the four
southern manufacturing states, Geor-
gla, Alabama, South Carolina and
North Carolina. If Louisiana, Indian
Territory. Mississippi and Arizona
were eliminated the four states named
would be tailenders. Alabama was
number forty-seven in 1890, and num-
Der forty-eight in 1906.
These facts seem to show that mill
life is tending to increase illiteracy
among children between the ages of
10 and IA. Florence Kelly, secretary
of the National Consumers league,
considers the subject a great and
growing national problem. "The four
great manufacturing states of the
SOUTH" she says, stand at the bot
tom of the scale of states, graded ac-
cording - the ability OF children be-
tween the ages of ten and fourteen
years to read and write; and the six
great industrial states of the north
are falling in that scale Simultaneous
ly and conspicuously. Surely there is
need of organized effort, national in
its scope, to ascertain the cause of
SO sinister phenomenon, and to re-
move that eau. with the least posi-
BILE loss OF time

SENATOR j. T. MORGAN ON
TRUSTS AND POLITICS

BY Jos. OIL in Atlanta Constitution.
Washington, December Ex-senator Nor
gan of Alabama has given out sensa-
tional interview in which he charges the
democratic party, as well as the repub-
lioan party with insincerity in the war
against trusts.
II cannot See" declared Senator Nor
gan, that there is any great difference
between the lead of the democratic and
republican parties on the question of
trusts; whichever party is out of power
cries out against the octopus; whichever
party is in power hugs the octopus to its
breast. Political affilatinn seems to be
no shield against the glitter of great
wealth."
Senator Morgan says that in his opinion
neither party is more DESTROYS than the
other of finding and applying a cure, lie
says a cure will be found, but fears be-
fore that is done the Christening rod will
be laid heavily upon the American peo-
pie. political revolution that may sweep
out of existence both of the great par
ties as they now are organized he sees
among the probabilities of the future.
How soon the solution comes depends on
how soon The American people are
awakened to their peril. He inclines to
the belief that there will be dark days
before the awakening.

tinues. care figures as eoslpared with
