He desires simply to serve the peo- pie and serve them well as governor, and there is no reason why he should not have that desire satisfied He has the good will and the earnest wish of all that he may succeed. Let him go forward with good courage and may wise deeds make him famous.
 It is an suspicious day for Alabama.

REMARKABLE CAREER OF
 LATE ABRAM s. HEWITT

tenn of government which is concentrated sessed when the constitution was rati- fled. Therefore, he was certain that when the test came the apostles, conscious or unconscious. of socialism, those who through sincerity of motive or dominat- ing ambition are striving to obtain po- litical power in the name of and exerted for and directed by those who stand for trade unionism, would learn after the test was made that our civilization stands upon a rock.
 MT. Hewitt's career In politics does not match in distinction or success that which was characteristic of him in business life or as thinker. His temperament was not of the kind that makes the highest suc- cesses In politics possible. He had little suavity, although he could be the most charming of companions. The same defect appeared in his attempts to marshal men into political organization that was so ap- parent to his oratory, defect which cost him one of the higher places among those who have achieved as orators He was too serious. Some of his most bril- liantly written and profoundly thought out addresses were delivered with the solemnity of a funeral oration. His chief triumph as a speaker or as a writer was upon the occasion of the dedication of the Brooklyn bridge. To the reader the ad- dress today has many of the qualities that are associated with some of the fire of Cochran, or the persuasive charm of Choate, or the dry. unctuous humor of Evarts, 1t would have carried the vast throng that heard it with the vast inspir- ations of oratory. He served well in con- gress, and had influence there. He would have been at the time his nomination was considered resident of New Jer- sey, and there were many of his party in the early sos who deemed him, more than any other man after Tilden, the strongest candidate of the democracy for the Presidency.
 As a fnancier his record is secure, for 1t was he who conceived. exploited and then persuaded so that the plan by which our gigantic rapid-transit system has been financed was accepted.
 If reputation that may become fame is the test of career, then MT. Hewitt was successful. If achievement is the measure. then he meets the test. If the companionship of delightful family life and of men of the highest intellectual quality Is, after all, the happiness of ca- reers, then MT. Hewitt's happiness has been beyond measure.

INcU6AToRs FOR CROWS.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocear.
 Susquehanna, Pa., January a0.-Farmer Billings of Brookdale has taken a con tract to furnish a Chicago miliner with crow heads at % cents apiece It costs something to get a dead crow, because it is an elusive bird, and ammunition costs something.
 Billings, however, is an enterprislng speculator. He has devised a scheme by which maximum number of crows heads can be obtained at small expense He has set up a chicken incupator, in which are placed, as fast as laid, the eggs of about 100 hen crows that have been trapped, with perhaps a dozen cock crows.
 Within fifteen days the little creatures are matched, and fortnight later they are ready to be beheaded. It is under stood that the head of a crow chick is worth just as much as that of the oldest of the same species.
 At the uniform rate of four for a dbl lar, dead, they will pay the producer. Farmer Billings has the only crow hatch cry in the world, anu he is justly proud of 1t.

HANNA AND THE PRESIDENCY.

From the Washington Star.
 MT Hanna refuses to discuss the latest attempt to launch presidential boom for him. Naturally. He is a man of serious mind, the public business at this time is very pressing, and conditions, not theo- ries, confront him. Still. the boom in- dustry should not be discouraged. If it advances no prospects for the presidency 1t contributes something to public enter tainment. Political leaders understand the trick thoroughly. Now and then a boom has a meaning favorable to the man whose name 1t bears. In other cases it expresses but objection to the aspirations of another man. So far as Mir Hanna is concerned he probably reads the exist ing situation more clearly than those who just now are using his name. He could not have reached his position of influence or gained his reputation for sagacity if he had been an "easy thing for men seeking an instrument for working off reVengeS.

Boys ReformatorY at East Lake.

Tn the pressure for appropriations before the legislature, it is to be hoped the needs and value of the reforma- tory for boys at East Lake will not be overlooked. Both humanity and good policy alike demand that young boys should not be confined with hardened criminals. Nearly all of the states send wayward boys to reformatories, to be there kept and educated until they are trained and started towards good citizenship. Tennessee has mo- ble institution of this nature, and the annual appropriation, $50,0O0, is con sidered money well spent
 A beginning has been made in this direction at East Lake. Thus far the institution has been conducted at small cost to the state, but the efficiency and value of the plan are now so man. fest that it's capacity is much outrun. More room is needed, and more money is needed in maintaining the youthful offenders until they can be turned loose with safety to the community 1t costs no more to keep boy at East Lake who has violated some law of the state than it does to keep him in the penitentiary or county jail, and at East Lake he is reformed, while in tho other places he is hardened.
 Every boy under IS years of age who is convicted of crime or mis- demeanor should be sent to East Lake. This is presented not out of sentiment or humanity alone, but as sound economic proposition as well. It will pay the state to send such offenders to East Lake, because they will there be taught that good citizenship is bet ter than criminal career. The amount needed at East Lake is not large, and Jefferson has no other tax-eating insti- tuition, and it pays well nigh one-sixth of the entire state tax. East Lakes claims should be heard and needed.
