 Florence May r (SpeclaD-,The clos ing of the Florence city schools last week marked the completion of a most successful years work. The number of new pupils during the year was 259, more than for any previous year. The Patton School enrolment was 505, the Brandon School 2SG and Slater School (Colored) 240, total of 1031. The Kindergarten en- rollment was 53, making in all 1OS4 pu7 pills. This enrolment Is exceeded by ons ly four cities in the state in the follow ing order: Birmingham, Mobile, Mont gomery and Selma. In Alabama the kin dergarten has not been made part of the public school system, as in many other states, and Florence organized the first kindergarten in the state.

intersection, had already been de-
cided in favor of the State by the
Supreme court in the HanIey Falls
case.
The contention of the railroads
was that it was an invasion of their
charter rights for the State to at
tempt to dictate the parties and
terms Of contracts to be made by
railroads between themselves. and
that the act of 1895 was unconstitu-
ticual, for the reason that it author
lied an unwarranted interference
with the railroad companies in the
conduct of the business.
On the trial of the case the rail
road company introduced evidence
for the purpose OF showing that the
rate fixed by the commission was
less than the average cost per ton
per mile Of hauling freight On it's
line. and therefore. the railroad
could not be compelled to carry this
commodity at a loss.
The State relied upon that sec
tion OF the law which declared that
the determination of the commission
on the question Of rates was prima
facie correct and that in case of an
appeal or proceedings brought to
enforce the order. the question OF
proving the invalidity of the order
was upon the carrier At the close
OF the testimony introduced by the
railroad company it seemed to the
commission that the presumption in
favor OF the order of the commission
had not been overcome: in other
words. that the railroad company.
by showing the amount of it's bond
ed Indebtedness and capital stock
had not shown sufficient, the test
| being the true value of the property
invested in the enterprise. Every
contention OF the State made before
the supreme court of the United
States has been sustained by the
opinion of Judge Brown.

POWER OVER RATES.
Supreme Courts Decision in New Uln
Case Gain for the State.

Counsel for the State in the New
Ulm rate case do not agree with
railroad attorneys as to the force
and scope of the recent decision. 7.
D. O'Brien of St. Paul hold that it
marks the greatest step in the di
rectiOn Of government control Of
public service corportions of any
decision ever held by the highest
court of the land. The decision was
limited. of course, to the New Ulm
case, in which the connecting roads
had already a Joint rate established,
but the language of the decis ion
plainly indicates that the court be-
lieveS ia the right OF the State to
compel connecting railroads to make
reasonable Joint rates.
Mr.. O Brien. who argued the
case before the Supreme Court, and
with Judge Mills Of the railroad and
warehouse commission, carried it
through all its stages, has received
a copy Of the court S decision. and
interpreted it from the standpoint
of the State. Mr.. O Brien said;
In 1898 citizens OF New Ulm in
augurated movement looking
towards the correction of the rate
OF hard coal in car load lots. Coal
was brought to New Ulm from Du-
luth over the St. Paul Il Duluth and
the Minneapolis 4 Louis under a
Joint rate. The old rate was So 80 a
ton, Duluth to New Ulm and the
same rate was charged for all points
on the line from Norwood, which is
40 miles from Minneapolis, clear

of the state. The commission or

they made the rate from Duluth to

The railroads notified the COM
mission that they were unable to
agree on the division of the rate.
and the commission then proceeded
to apportion it, allowing the St.

Naturally

without foundation. Naturally the
white man will not work in gangs
under an overseer, but it is the Anglo
Saxon blood and not the climate that
is the reason. Americans today are
doing all kinds OF farming work under
the Hawaiian sun without inconven-
fence. The white mechanic does not
hesitate to work out of doors. The
athletically disposed Of foreign descent
are enterprising in all outdoor exer-
cises to an extent that makes it diff
cult to keep up indoor gymnastics.
The Presidents expression in favor
of the extension of the American home
stead system to the Territory of Ha-
waii may be made from want Of ac-
ouaintance with the Hawaiian home
stead system, which has developed ac-
ccrding to local conditions. including
the peculiar topography of the coun-
try, the character Of the population,
the difficulties of surveying and road
making and the requirements of the
Hawaiian for wet land for the produc-
ton of taro, his staff Of life.
I have recently come across an art
icle in the Harpers weekly of De-
cember 7th, entitled 1.-The Nation as a
Land Owner" The opening paragraph
of which reads as follows:
There is not an effective land law
upon the statute books of the United
States today which should not be i'm
mediately repealed or greatly amended.
Each and every one of the present
laws providing for the disposal Of the
agricultural public domain is now
merely a vehicle of fraud, Offering pre-
MUM for perjury, and tending to oo-
struct and discourage the settlement
of the country by bona fide home seek
ers."
A later sentence is as follows:
1.-THE homestead law, after having ac-
complished a magnificent work in
bringing about the settlement of the
Western States, has outlived it's use
fulness in it's present FORM"
If the writer of the article in ques-
ton is correct in his conclusions rel
ative to the American homestead laws,
there would seem to be no possible ben
eft to be gained by their extension to
Hawaii, but rather great injury.
The Hawaiian public lands are linn
tied in area, and any change in the ex-
listing system which would tend to OBJ
struct the development Of a farming

tivating their farms, by Offering OPP
pOTluultleS 10 Capitalists VI dpSoI piiS
such lands would be a great and per-
blow to the social and political
of the Territory.
If the opinion of the writer referred
to is inaccurate, still is it likely that
a system prepared for the administra-
ton of the landed interests of a great
like the United States. is as
suitable for the management of the
public lands of a small country like
Hawaii, with its tropical climate, its
character and it's varied
population, as a system which has
grown out of local conditions?

Gifted by their holdings, or that the
Territory is a great gamer by the fact
of such occupation. The system pro-
notes home life, encourages thrift and
with even a most moderate industry
on the part Of the settlers is the basis
of comfort and plenty. AS to the Ha-
waiians it may be said that these op-
portunities of acquiring land are I'M
dcubtedly most favorable to their per-
petuation as a race.
The facts given are evidence Of fair
beginning of an enterprise which has
ever had the sympathy and confidence
Of those interested in the social and
political growth of the country. What
the future shall be depends much upon
the management OF this important de-
partment. The work is moving along
at the present time with indications of
an increasing interest, especially
among the native Hawaiians.
1t is clear to those who are in touch
with the administration of this depart
ment that the work of promoting the
settlement of our public lands by small
farmers cannot be forced. The best
success will be obtained through a nat
ural growth. The small producer is SO
dependent upon a convenient market,
market have a very direct influence
upon the demand for small farms by
those who wish to make living or
part of a living from them.
American farmers have not come to
this country yet in any considerable
numbers. The Americans who have
taken up homesteads are, for the most
part, men without experience in farm
ing. If a thousand of the best farm
ers in the United States were brought
here and furnished with the best home
steads in the Territory, they would be
in the local conditions, in
Guiding expensive transportation, in
sufficient roads and unreliable markets.
In some localities adjacent to sugar
plantations the small farmer has his
most favorable outlook, as he is sure
of cash market for his crop, if his
crop is sugar cane. Moreover the sugar
plantation with it's hundreds of labor
ers and it's small community of Anglo
Sexon families, furnishes a considerable
demand for other products.
1t is a mistake to look upon the
sugar enterprises Of the country as in
trinsically a menace to small farming
or vice versa. The two systems are
consistent with each other, at least for
the present. The immediate opportun-
ity of the settler is in the general pros
perity induced by the cultivation of
sugar by the large estates, which
makes demand for his produce and
promotes a large circulation of money;
while in the labor difficulties which be-
set the planter he may find as time
goes on his ultimate salvation in mu-
tual arrangements with the farmers,
for the nrO0nCtiOn Of sugar cana
The statements that are occasionally
made to the effect that the Hawaiian
climate is too tropical for white men
to endure in out of door work, are
