Need of Bank Supervision.

w. R. Sawyer shows in letter ad- dressed to the Birmingham News that deposits in the state and private banks of Alabama are about eleven and a half million dollars, as against seven teen millions deposited in the national banks in this state. In other words, the state permits a great aggregate of supervised in private banks at least, to the danger of thousands of cenhding depositors. Such a course on the part of this state Is ..most without prece- dent.
 The vc:y fact that a ring of private state supervision should convince every member of the legislature that such supervision is much needed. The state banks as a rule favor and desire state supervision. Why do private bankers oppose efficient state super vision? Wherein do they differ from state banks? The very fact that pri- vate bankers are today in Montgom- cry opposing state supervision should bring up the question, "Why do they oppose what the state banks desire, and the national banks have long had the benefit of? The answer to this question would solve the entire prob lem.

OUR RIVAL IN CORN.
Ia New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
 The United States has seemed to have pretty nearly a monopoly of corn growing. In this industry however, rival is also arising which may before long be devel- oped into great proportions.
 That rival is Argentina, country which for more reasons that one might well be regarded as the United States of South America. It is only about two-fifths as large as the United States, and has only one-ffteenth as great population. But its soil is wondrously fertile and its climate genial, and 1t Is growing in population and in the arts of civilization at A grati- flying pace. It's production of cattle and sheep, of hides and wool, of linseed and various other things is well known to be great. It Is also becoming a great pro- ducer of corn, for which crop it's soil and climate seem to be particularly well suit ed
 The last years crop of corn is reported to have covered 4,300000 acres and to have measured 130 COG, ,000 bushels. That Is, of course, very much less than our 94.000, 00O acres and 2,523, O00.00O bushels. Yet pro-
 
 country. it is a creditable showing. More- over, the Argentines get more than thirty bushels from an acre, and get dollar of their currency, of forty-four cents gold, a bushel for 1t, making yield of $13.20 an acre. while we, with our boasted higher civilization, are content with twenty-seven bushels to the acre. which, at forty cents a bushel, means a yield of only s10S0 an acre.
 the spectre of Argentine competition in the corn market, Yet it is evident that Argentina is destined before long to be so considerable producer of that crop as to cut figure in the markets of the world. and probably to rank as rival of the United States

CRIME AS A LOSING GAME.
New York World

From the New York World.
 At the age of twenty-nine Harry Brooks, alias Gentleman George Rob- inson, goes to Sing Sing prison under d sentence of twenty-three years. By good conduct he may reduce his actual term to fourteen years and two months.
 Brooks leaves behind him in this city alone a record of thrty-nine burglaries. His booty aggregated $65,000 in actual value, though 1t did not pay any consid- erable portion of that sum to him, and much of 1t was recovered.
 When Brooks becomes again a free man, assuming that he will earn his communication, the world will have moved forward a decade and almost a half. In this age of wonder-working development such period of advance means more than ever before. The convict will find in prison no employment to keep him abreast of the times. By his own act he is buried for what should be the best years of his life. He will emerge mid dle-aged, a stranger, very probably plodder if not tramp or a criminal. for the remainder of his days.
 Leaving out the moral issue, where is the profit in crime? What is the gilt tering lure that draws a man to barter a youth of cleverness and possibilities for a blighted life?

C0nstantin0pIe at Stake,

Although Macedonia and Roumelia include Constantinople and the remain ing fragment of Turkey in Europe, yet both are largely inhabited by Greek Christians, the minority being Moham- medans. Macedonia itself resting upon Greece Is largely occupied by Christian Bulgarians who have long been op- pressed by the sultan's deputies.
 Led by Boris Sarafoff the Mecedo- nians have risen in revolt against the Turks, and they have been and will continue to be aided by the Bull gs ians in surreptitious man. ner. How long the sultan will stand Bulgaria's way of aiding the Macedonians is a problem, but the belief is general that he will soon de- clare war against Bulgaria. Bulgaria can put about SO0O0o in the field, against one million that the sultan can summon, and the contest would be one sided, although on account of the na- ture of the country it might be pro- longed
 In case war is actually declared by the sultan against Bulgaria, then comes up the probable action of the powers, particularly cf Russia, which really created Bulgaria, taking it out of the hands of Turkey. Austria is also alert. and the oth CT powers only less so. The creation of another semi-ndependent country seems to b. the probable out come, although it woul1 be better all around to hand over Macedonia to Greece. This, however, is not prob able. Russia in the long run wants Constantinople, and all the land be- tween it and the present bounds of

INDUSTRIOUS AGUiNALDo.

From the New York Commercial.
 Our friend Emilio Aguinaldo. one-time general in command of the Filipino army. and fierce revolutionist, appears in new role. Truly he has cast his sword and beaten 1t into plowshare. He appears after season of extreme quietude-sucn peacefulness we had forgotten about him as the sage advisor and counselor of his people.
 Senor Aguinaldo shows his usual bad judgment, however, in his maiden effort. He asks the Filipinos to abandon cock fighting and gambling. He seems to be serious about it. but it seems to us he surely would have taken hold of some matter that he stood even a slight chance of winning at The successful advisor Is called great the unsuccessful one foolish. We suggest to the subdued leader that he waste no time in pursuing meteors He can do much good perhaps In some ways for his brethren, but not by first dragging them from their sports

THE ALASKAN CONTROVERSY.
Canada Wants an Outlet to the Sea
 Regardless of Rights.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean (Rep.)
 The members of the Alaskan boundary tribunal are now in London and will hold their first meeting on Thursday. The tri- bunal, or commission, Is to pass upon the phrasing of the treaty Of 1925 between Russia and Great Britain. It Is not to fix boundary, but officially to declare the meaning of treaty which established a boundary accepted by Great Britain In 1925 and again in 1867, when Alaska was transferred to the United States.
 'The whole controversy centers," the dispatches from London say. "upon Cam adds effort to acquire an outlet to the of the case. Canada wants an fnterpreta- tion of the treaty that will give her an outlet to the sea, without regard to the rights of the United States. On this con- tention Canada has no case.
 Great Britain in 1924 endeavored to se- cure a treaty with Russia that would give her subjects of the Hudson Bay company an outlet to the Pacific. Russia, however insisted on boundary that would cut off the Hudson Bay company from access to the ocean All the British propositions as to control or use of inlets or arms of the sea were rejected, and the treaty as signed in 1925 specifically provided that Great Britain should not have access to the ocean across the Alaska panhandle
 In signing that treaty, Great Britain &C., cepted boundary marked by Russia to prevent British approach to or control or the Alaskan coast There was no doubt on this point in 1895. There is no doubt of 1t now. The treaty was framed to settle forever the question raised by Great Britain as to the inlets. Having been settled then, the question cannot be re-opened now, except by a new treaty between the United States and Great Britain, ceding American territory to Canada. On the contention as to inets Canada has no case.
 The argument that simply because Can ada wants an outlet to the sea she ought to have 1t is no argument at all. It is simply an assertion of the British prin- ciple of taking possession of whatever may contribute to the extension of British influence.

ALBUM VERSES.
Ia ashington Irving.

By Washington Irving. The record of the votive throng
 That fondly seek this fairy shrine, And pay the tribute of a song
 Where worth and loveliness combine What boots that l. vagrant wight
 From cline to cline still wandering on, Upon thy friendly page should write Who'll think of me when l am gone! Go blow the wave, and SOW the sand! Throw seed to every wind that blows, Along the highway strew thy hand.
 And fatten on the crop that grows For even thus the man that roams
 On needless hearts his feelings spends, Strange tenant Of a thousand homes, And friendless, with ten thousand
 friends?
 Yet here, for once, I'll leave trace
 To ask in after times a thought! To say that here a resting place
 My wayworn heart has fondly sought So the poor pilgrim needless strays. Unmoved. thro' many a region fair; But at some shrine his tribue pays
 To tell that he has worshipped there.

CoIombia's Canal Terms.

It has been arranged that Colombia is to pass a bill providing for the ne gotiation of a new canal treaty, the United States to pay $3OOo0,0 900 for canal privileges, instead of s40,000, 900. The bill is now before the Colombian congress, and doubtless it will be passed.
 When it becomes a law the inter- national railroads will kick up a scrim- mage between Panama and Nicaragua in the hopes of postponing, if not de- feating, all canal action and legisla- tion. The chances are that the entire situation as it stands at Bogota is the work of the railroads crossing the plains in this country
 All this chicanery and double deal ing and underground work can be readily defeated by President Roose- welt if he is willing to comply with the terms of the Spooner law. If on September 22 Colombia has not ac- cepted the canal treaty, it becomes the plain and simple duty of President Roosevelt to proceed to build a canal on the nearer and better Nicaragua route. Will he do it?
 The wicked partners in this business are the transcontinenta railroads, and the senators they control, both in this country and Colombia, are the obsta- cles to the building of an isthmian canal. If they were cut out, there would be plain sailing, and a Nicaragua canal would soon begin to become fact. But with these powerful companies in the business, it is difficult to say what will be done, or when anything at all will be done. The action at Bogota has robbed Colombia of $10,000,000 and a canal, and the fossilized little repub- lie Is sorry. but it is now too late to turn again to the Panama project That is dead, anu the sooner the President accepts the Spooner law as in all duty he is bound to uo, the sooner will the canal problem be solved in a manner satisfactory to all disinterested per sons.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES.
Alabama Cotton.

Cotton, which was thought to be look ing so well two weeks ago, is now suffer- ing materially from the effects of the long continued drought" remarked an extensive and prosperous planter from the black belt last night.
 The spring and summer being so wet caused the plant to grow up into a large weed, which Is naturally mushroomy and sappy, and it is not in condition to stand the hot and dry winds we are now having Cotton is a very delicate, pecu- liar and uncertain plant. If the early sea- son had been normal, the weather we are now having would have been ideal for the well-being of the plant.
 Three weeks ago the prospects for a gigantic yield were the most nattering that we have had for years. But first, with the siege of the boil worm and the caterpillar and then the dry and hot wave, have caused it to shed and throw off at a terrific rate I estimate that unless some unusual freak of the weather shall oe- eur. the crop will come up 50 per cent short of what seemed almost certainty few days ago.
 But notwithstanding all this, there will be a bountful supply of grain harvested and some of the farmers will, perhaps, be forced to pull down their old barns and build new ones."

Conylcts Employed in Jefferson.

Exceptions prove a rule, and the ex- ceptionally good treatment of county convicts by the Soss- Sheffield com pany at Flat Top, as reported by The Age-Herald's own representative who visited and carefully inspected the stockades and hospitals at that place, do not disprove the declarations of the convict board, or of it's physician mem- Der, who has the courage of his con- victions. Unquestionably the county convicts are as well treated at Flat Top as the felony convicts, which means good treatment. As much care is exercised against sending all men into the mines in the one case as in the other.
 But Flat Top is but one place, and the convict board see the entire situa- tion, and they say that many grown up children" are convicted by justices of the peace who should not be con victed at all, and that the fee system is at the bottom of the trouble. They desire to see justices of the peace shut out from convictions to hard labor, and if the members of the legislature, es- pecially those from the agricultural districts could see what the convict board see in the course of their public luties, they would quickly accept at feast some of the recommendations of the board.
 In the long run the fee system will be abolished in this state, as it has been in many other states, but if that cannot be done at least justices of the peace can be cut out from convictions to hard labor, thus doing away with some of the most obnoxious features of the fee system.
 The good treatment or county con victs at Flat Top, new stockade, and at Pratt City, simply emphasizes the need of reform outside of those camps the need of reform on broad lines, reaching the Dogberries and the grasp ing fee brigade. The reports of Presi-
  dent Carmichael and of Dr. Shirley Bragg come from men who have con sciences and the courage to live up to them. They come from men who see the shame of the state, and they do not propose to conceal it, or excuse it, or gloss 1t over in any respect. The Age Herald again urges the members os the legislature to read and reread both reports,

The beginning of the present period of prosperity in England was in 1S94-05, when the gross income of the country was e6570 ,OO0, so that there has been an increase of e147, GOO, or 43.2 per cent. The great est previous period of prosperity was be- tween the years 1S6s-69 and 1S75-76.

XPLORER PEARY is to renew CC) his attempt to reach the pole next - spring The navy department has given him three years leave and the Peary Arctic club is backing him with ample resources. No adventurer ever faced the north with seemingly better prospects than those now before Peary.
 No one has doubted for some years that tie pole is attanable or that 1t will be reached before long. It is believed that every part of the problem is well under stood Peary himself has done more than any other man to settle the question of food, clothing sedge equipment and ice travel. The essential preliminary to success is to start for the pole from a base so far north that the round trip over the sea ice may be made between sunrise and the later summer, when the conditions become unfavorable for sledg- ing.
 Capt. Cagni. of the Italian expedition, reached the highest north ever attained just month and half after leaving his ship, or base of supplies Nansen has the second highest record. He att tained his northernmost point only twen- tyfour days after leaving the ship.
 The weak point in Peary's last series of explorations was that with limited funds he was unable to provide an ade- quate supporting party and ample sup plies and place them on the northern coast of Grant Land at the land base nearest to the pole. To succeed, he should have been able at sunrise to set out poleward over the frozen sea. Handi- capped by lack of means to establish his base at the threshold of the unknown. he was compelled to begin his journey from a base $50 miles to the south; and by the time he and his two or three com rades reached the new ice region to be crossed the season was far advanced
 In spite of this disadvantage Peary point. by sixty-fve miles. ever attained in the American Arctic.
 His purpose now is to do what he wished to do before; that is, to make his camp on the shore of the frozen ocean and set northward at the first light of day. His is the sensible programme for the next attempt to reach the pole That It promises the fullest success is indicated by the fact that the distance he covered on several of his sledge expeditions would have been sufficient to carry him to the pole and back, If he had started from the northern shore of Grand Land, in- stead of from a southern base.
 While the pole is the prize which Peary
