British. Incomes,

Men and Women.
 The income of the mighty always form interesting reading. Generally they are put much too high. It is a little sur prising to learn from official sources that there are only nineteen persons in the United Kingdom whose annual in come exceed 5O,OOO pounds. One would have thought that with so many South African millionaires. wealthy bankers, etc, Park Lane itself would have been able to furnish quite a small crowd of taxpayers of the 50.00O pound order, for that sum only represents a per cent. re- turn on a million capital. One hundred and ninety-nine persons are in receipt of incomes ranging from 10000 pounds to 10000 pounds, and 453 enjoy annual re- ceipts of above 5000 pounds and unde" 10000 pounds. Where does the wealth come from? Land and house owners an- nually divide between them 23S. .0OO, 900 pounds. business and professional profits are responsible for 4S7. GOO 900 pounds, the Government pays out 44.000000 pounds on it's securities and the huge army of officers are In receipt of 79,000, 900 pounds During the last ten years London house proprietors secured 7,0Oo,0OO pounds more than in the previous decade, a big slice of which must come from the fashiona ble flats which rise on fairy wings through out the metropolis. One moral from the return is either that the millionaire is not quite so common in our midst as most people would imagine. or that his money does not return him per cent

A WEAK ARGUMENT

A writer in The Chicago Post under takes to belittle the proposed School of Journalism. and somewhat. triumphantly inquires if such school will discourage or diminish sensational or yellow journal ism. arguing thot those who conduct such newspapers are educated men. for tie most part, and that the journalistic education proposed by the Pulitzer plan would not put such journalists out of bus mess.
 We might answer this style of reason ing by saying that schools of law have not abolished shysters nor have medical schools prevented the quacks from prey ing on their fellow men, but nobody would take that as an argument that there should be no legal or medical schools. One object of the Pulitzer plan, as we understand it, is to teach a higher form of journalism and to inculcate better and nobler conceptions of the art of newspa- per making. There will be yellow jour- nals'' just as long as the people patronize them and make them fashionable. but fl the proposed school can discourage the style of newspaper work which thrives on sensations and depends for success only on the lower tastes of the public fl will not labor in vain.

Free Labcr.
New York Commercial.

New York Commercial.
 There is movement on foot in tic West to eliminate the awkward term non-union as applied. to labor. and call it free labor" Several papers have adopt ed the word, including The Chicago Even jng Post and The Prairie Farmer, also published at Chicago. The expression Is much tn be preferred. It Is brevity itself, and so comprehensive that no argument Is needed to explain it's scope.
 By adopting this name the great body of working men who now constitute So per cent. of the wage earners of tie United States become a distinct class. though united only by the sense of free dom implied in the word that has always meant so much In American history. It serves to emphasize the fact that the slaves are the members of unions, whose rules and oaths of allegiance are at va riance with the principles of the ConstI- tuition, and in violation of the obligations of citizens in their social and religious life as well as their political freedom Union labore-s are today more bound i'll slavery thar ever were the blacks of the South. The union wage-earner has all overseer constantly at his heels in the person of the walking delegate who ap- plies the lash mercilessly. His arrogance exceeds that of any slave owner over pictured in story books. and his tyranni- cal rule is illustrated in strikes called for purposes of graft, which bring the fam lilies of his victims to actual starvation.
 Let 1t be free labor, by all means, and may the press and employers and em- ployes make the name a synonym for In- dependence ard Manhoodi

Where Peach Trees Will Grow.

Country L4lfe In America.
 It is surprising over what a wide range of territory the peach will thrive. There are good peach orchards in the Annap- olis valley of Nova Scotia and they are scattered in almost every State in the Union. Because there are certain well marked peach regions in which the cul- tivation of the fruit assumes commercial importance we are not to assume that il may not be grown with entire success in very many othe places. These special regions, particularly east of the Rocky Mountains and north of Mason and Dix on's line, are usually near some large body of water and the secret of success is generally the freedom from disastrous late spring frosts and from very low winter temperature. But, if the tree ma lures itself well in the fall and the win ter is steady. the peach tree will with stand 20 degrees below zero with impun- ity Of course, if this temperature is long continued and if the winter atmos. phere is very dry-as in the Middle West serious injury may result.
 Unless the region is unusually free from late spring frosts, the peach is a precarious and risky crop to grow. How ever the profits are usually good when ever a crop is secured. provided the pro- duct is well handled. Not only does the peach thrive over a wide geographical re- zion. but also in a great variety of soils It is generally considered that it does best in a loose, sandy soil, but this Is by no means well established. It usually happens that the lands lying in close proximity to lakes and shores are of a sandy formation. but there are many lands of such location that are heavy loams or clays and on these peaches may be made to thrive.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1903.
AN HONEST CANDIDATE.

Judge Can't, candidate for Governor of Missouri. is not at ali backward in say ing just what he thinks. He was a Con- federate soldier and in a recent speech in st. Louis he said:
 am proud of it. and believe today. as truly as I ever believed in my life, that we were right in what we did. The true history of that war is not taught in our public schools. and probably never will be. A fair history of that war has never been written nor will be until the lapse of years wipes prejudice away.
 The Kansas City Journal, Republican, tells the Judge that he 'Is unlikely to inn prove his chances for the Governorshir by the utterance of such sentiments" but we don't know so well about that The argument of The Journal is that there are Confederates 'who grant the bravery and honesty of those who wore the gray but think 1t neither expedient nor true to say that they were in the right"
 We do not agree with The Journals reasoning, even as to the question of ex- pediency. The time has passed, We sim cereiy hope. when an ex-Confederate must hide or belle his sediments because of question of expediency. Most of them believe like Judge Can't and should not hesitate to say so when it is neces- sary or proper to express their sentiments about the war. Those who have studied the matter most intelligently are now pretty generally agreed that the Confed- crates were right, and why not say it? Merely because an honest expression of opinion might cause candidate to lose some votes in certain sections of the country. Concedlng that Judge Can't speaks his true feelings and. convictions 1t will be much more creditable to him to be defeated for saying what he believes than it would to be elected by hypocrisy and self-stultificaton. The Confederates of Missouri and their descendants ought to honor him for his independence and honesty.

A Valuable Book.

A valuable and unique contribution to literature, as well as to practical and useful information, has been made by Elizabeth Porter Gould in her recently published book 'John Adams and Daniel Webster as Schoomasters," issued by the Palmer Company, 50 Bromfield Street. Boston.
 President Cleveland, whose pronounce ments and opinions are always so sound and catholic, comments this little work, as bringing out in a bright light, incl dents in the life of two great men, upon which 1t Is well that the general public should be informed. Not less favora ble Is the verdict of Senator Hoar. and a consensus of able opinion so entirely jus tifies this undertaking which Miss Gould has conducted to such satisfactory con- clusion, that the success of the book can hardly be question. Of its utility. there can never be a doubt. It Is well for American youth to know and realize that two of Americas most distinguished men began life with an environage which was not, to say the least, so advantageous as that which very many young people enjoy today, and under limitations which were quite as obdurate as those which beset young aspirants of the twentieth cen- tury. It is well that in this age of super flcial culture, of hurry and overween.ng eagerness for immediate success. young men should have put before their eyes two noble examples of high achievement in the persons of two toilers who knew how to labor and to wait.
 The style Is lucid and inspiring with just enough moralizing to whet the ap- petite for little more. An appendix of fers interesting and piquant verse, which is an agreeable conclusion of the matter. The book Is neatly and tastefully pre- scented and a charming gift book from pupil to teacher or teacher to pupil. An introduction by the Hon. Charles Francis Adams adds feature of interest and ap- propriateness.

The Battle of Monterey.
Florence, Ala, Sept. 30.

Florence, Ala, Sept. 90, 1903. Editor The Advertiser:
 I see in The Advertiser of last Sunday an item stating that the battle of Mon- terey was fought on the 24th of Septem- Der, 1S46. 1 herewith send you a portion -four verses) of a poem written by Ten nessee volunteer soon after that great battle. and as you will See he puts the date on September 21, 1S46. have had this poem in my possession for fifty years and have always been of the impression that it was fought on the Fist as stated by the writer of the verses, as he writes as if he was on the ground and took part in the sanguinary contest. So you See there Is a difference of three days in the two statements.
 The Birmingham News Almanac for 1901 gives the dates of the battle of Buena Vista as February 22-23, 1S47. but does not mention that of Monterey. Yours.
 Isaac s. Barr. CThe Tennessee Volunteer is right in one way and wrong the other, The histories show that fighting did commence on the Fist of September 1S46, but the surrender of Ampudia did not take place until the 24th.-Ed. AdY.)
