A Paper May Criticise.

A trial jury in England gave the
manager of a fifth-rate show verdict
of $3.50 against a newspaper which
published an adverse criticism. The
appeal court reversed this, and held
that the jury had no right to substitute
its own opinion of the merits Of the
play for the critics opinion. The court
said it was of the highest Importance
to the public that the critic should not
be exposed to the risk of having jury
pass upon his taste. and held that the
trial Judge misdirected the jury.-Ex-

Local or Lake sunerior Ore.

In 1890 Alabama made S16,911 tons
of pig iron; in 1900 she made 1854
437 tons, and in 1902 her product was
1,472,2t1 tons. An increase this year
equal to that of last year will carry
this states aggregate to about 1,S00,-
900 tons.
But because Alabama's percentage
of the total production in the country
has fallen from 8.9 in 1890 to 8.3 in
1902 the Iron Trade Review insists
that there IS a general movement to-
wards the greater utilization of Lake
Superior ores, a decline in the smaller
producing districts and a larger rela-
tive advance in the great districts. And
yet Pennsylvania percentage fell
from $50 in 1890 to 45.5 in 1902. Ohio
and Illinois do show gains in percent
ages. The Iron Trade Review takes
the position that Lake Superior ores
are gaining upon local ores. 1t is
printed in Cleveland, and it is easy
In that city to look through Lake SUI
perior glasses.
Speaking of the districts using local
ores, it goes on to say: 'It requires
no prophetic eye to read from this
record, based on exceptionally pros
porous years, that these latter districts
will not SO well stand the strain of
adversely" Tho Age Herald does not
speak for any state but Alabama, but
it assers that Alabama is ready even
now to face hard times, and when the
Warrior is opened it will put pig iron
at tidewater at prices that Ohio and
Pennsylvania cannot touch. Alabama
export iron was sold at profit in the
hard years between 1893 and 1898, and
the Iron Trade Review may yet have
to confess that Alabama iron at tide
water will stand any test of adversely.
The Warrior will be opened to this
district in the course of three years,
and then this district will have moth
ing to fear, not even If iron goes back
to the prices of the years preceding
1898. Does the Review think the Ohio
furnaces could face such prices, with
but thirty or forty cents added as
transportation charges to tidewater?

Water Powers Boomina un.

Big power plants for the, develop
ment of electrical energy are spring
ing up wherever there is ample water
in rivers with the needful fall in the
flow of the stream. 1t Is now demon
strated that such energy can be car
ried considerable distances without
mourning material loss in amount and
this fact renders water powers still
more valuable. There is beginning to
be boom in them. They are sought
by capitalists as one of the best and
most permanent of investments.
Alabama is the river state of the
rapids in them. These rapids are an
impeachment to navigation, but they
promise to become a source of great
wealth to the state. No estimate has
been made of the water powers in this
state, but it is safe to say there are
enough to give us a full million of
electrically generated horsepower,
worth at least ten million dollars a
year when fully developed.
New York has water storage COM
mission, and she proposes through
that commission to encourage water
conservation for power purposes. None
of the expense Is however, to be borne
by the state. No work can be done by
the commission unless 1t is petitioned
for by city, town or village. When
the work is done it is assessed by the
local boards of assessors upon the
property benefited, the state board
merely indicating the amount which
each city, town or village is to raise.
The state pays for share of the
work when it Is benefit to navigation
or to the perfection of health condi-
tions. The public works 1naugurated
by the commission are to remain under
the charge of the state.
A commission of similar nature
would greatly promote industrial de-
velopment in this state and add to her
tax values far more than its work
would cost the state. The subject is
worthy of attention next September.

All included in School Bill.

The esteemed Montgomery Adver-
tiser seems to take pleasure in stating
that the text book law permits the
school book board 'to leave out" any
city of 5000 inhabitants" and it's state
ments in this respect have been ac-
cepted in various parts of the state.
AS matter of fact the text book
law provides for nothing of the sort.
The school book commission will Sc
lect books for cities having over 5000
population as we'll as for the smallest
rural community. The bill does pro-
vide that supplemental books for sup
Elemental branches may be selected by
the commission, and in order that
there may be no misunderstanding of
the matter The Age-Herald gives the
provision in question in full, as fol.
lows:
Provided, further, that for cities and
towns having a population of five thous-
and or more. sald commission may select
and designate such books and such
branches of study as the conditions ex-
listing in such cities and towns may re-
quire
This is ALL No city is left out" not
even Montgomery. All are included,
and the commission will select books
for all for five years, the counties alone
having contracts for books being ex-
copied during the life of the present
contracts. No new contract can be
entered into by county, and as fast
as county contracts expire the state
law will be extended.
Let no one think that first reader,
or first anything will be selected for
Montgomery, and another for Ishkooda.
Nothing of the kind will be done. The
children below the high school Will
study similar books alike in Montgom-
cry and Ishkooda, but the pupils in
high schools may be permitted to in
dulge in music, drawing and what-not,
and books may be selected by the com
mission to suit such extra branches
No school, no city, nobody is left out. .

Assessment Of Properly.

The period for assessing property
for taxation purposes is near at hand,
and the holders of property should be-
gin to adjust their consciences to ex-
listing conditions. Timbered lands and
town lots, and farming lands-all prop
erty in short-are advancing in value
and have been advancing since 1898
at least. Timbered lands are worth
three times as much as they were five
years ago, and many town lots have
been trebled in value. And yet not a
few of such properties are returned for
taxation at old values!
This is very unjust and very wicked,
for the taxation thus escaped is laid
on the shoulders of some one else, who
may be less able to bear it. Evenly
laid valuations of property may be I'M
possible, but an approximation to such
a condition is practicable, and an at
tempt should be made to reach it this
year.
No return should be cherished be-
cause of its antiquity. 1t should in
fact be brought up to date and to real
value and to the owners own valua'
ton. Some states have boards of equal
ization that prevent one county from
robbing another through underyalua-
tions of property. There is no such
board in Alabama, and one county can
cheat another or all other counties to
its full desire. But 1t should not do
this. The terms of the law should be
kept in mind and enforced, and this
can best be done by bringing valua-
lions up to known values. A revision
all along the line is needed, until the
census figures of property in Alabama,
$500, 900, 900, and the assessors figures,
$500, 100000, are brought nearer to-
gether.

that can be obtained in Utah. Wy
oming and Colorado.
However, let us start again, the
south and New York still casting 100
votes, and the three border states IS
votes-a total of 2OS votes. Let us
look for the 81 votes still needed to
Indiana, Is votes; to New Jersey, II
votes; Nevada, votes, and the single
other vote can be readily secured in
Utah, Wyoming or Colorado.
Other combinations could be made
that would include Connecticut and
Rhode Island, which went democratic
last year, and the disconnected tariff
reform states of the northwest. 1t Is
altogether too early to say that the
democratic case is hopeless, for It
surely is not, and every day strength
ems the belief that a democrat may be
elected to the chief office in 1904. A
party that has the solid south and New
York behind it need not despair, for
any DETECTION in the other states
would land it in the White House.

"He does not believe that man can
