ALABAMA
You need not doubt Alabama.

You need not doubt Alabama
 Her past record is an enviable one. The deeds of her sons are written on history s pages and are an inspiration to those who come after them and for all time. In civil life, since Monmouth and Yorktown, our slres have borne their proper share of the young republics responsibilities and reaped its distinctions. They were rebels from King Georges government, and beat back the red-coats at Kings Mountain and Trenton, and on a hundred fields. In an after-struggle, in Titanic contest, which shook the world and cov- cred the flowers of the smiling earth with the red stains of their rich blood, our sires pointed the path to Glory and led the way; our fearful mothers the while holding on to hope and cheering back to the conflict the weakening line. No more magnificent spectacle has the historian painted in all the annals of time. We are well-born!
 You need not doubt our hills. In their fruitful depths lie mineral riches unequal led, and Nature has ueen so kind as to plant together, in most loving association all the minerals necessary to make per- feet steel and in quantities sufficient to build the navies of the world, to armor all the ships of commerce for all the seas link all the States together in a hundred steel bands and build a thousand cities. There are riches for us and for those who are to come after us. ProdigaI as the sons of men may be, thousand years and much of this vast wealth will never have known the voice of pick or shovel! c .
 But the soil. the soil is our mother! It shall feed us.

It Is the ripened harvest and the sweet fruits of our field that must feed. clothe. shelter and care for our army of men. women and children. Here are indeed riches in Alabama!

Where Hvgiene Fails.


 It was but the other day that l was reading in a letter dated at Manila, pub llshed in The New York Evening Post, graphic account by one of the United States officials there of his own efforts and of those of his associates to arrest the spread of cholera and of other epi- demic diseases by the introduction, of some of the most elementary rules of hy- giene-according to our Western ideas. The entire letter, from the opening sent ence to the last line, breathed the same spirit of absolute hopelessness that has led the British authorities in India to abandon after seven years of the most

Cleanliness Unknown.

Then there Is the question of personal cleanliness, and of that of the houses. One finds the most majestic of mosques and temples, the most exquisite and fairy like of palaces, throughout the East, de. filed by the most filthy abominations, which. apparently, offeNd neither the ol- factory nerves of the natives nor yet their sense of propriety and cleanliness. The houses of the affiuent and the huts of the poor have each their own domestic heaps of offal. sometimes alongside, sometimes beneath. the raised floor, which are never removed. but kept ripe by daily additions and by the constant rootings Of the pariah dogs, the vultures. the razor backed hogs, and the other members of the beast and bird creation that attend to scavenger duty in the Orient.
 The markets. too, are a great breeding ground foI epidemics, and in the Philip pines riot$ were almost precipitated in various towns and villages by the insis- tence on the part of the American author ities that the accumulations of centuries

male) chiefly from the Lowlands to the South of the Fay and Clyde. His results, in brief. are that the. Scottish skull is arduous warfare all further fight against the progress and. spread of the plague.
 It was a letter that would have appeal ed to everyone who. like myself, has lived in the Orient, and who has learned by experience that religion. caste, time-hon- ored' customs, the mode of life, and above all the pronounced tendency of the Asi- atic of every cline and creed, constitute insuperable obstacles to the. successful application in the Far East of the rules of sanitation of the Occident.
 Danger Lies in Water. Of all the vehicles of contagion, there is none that plays a greater role in the spread of the various epidemics than water. Yet it seems impossible to get even the most intelligent of the Orien- tals to understand the necessity of keep ing pure the water supply. High cast Hindoos. who regard contact with even the shadow of a pariah a contamination. will not hesitate to quench their thirst from the pool where the corpse of some chOlera-stricken native of low degree has a few minutes previously been subjected to it's last additions. Peasants think nothing of drawing their drinking wa
 
 drainage of their entire village, and in Damietta, prior to the British occupa- tion of Egypt, I can recall that the intake of the water for the various foun- tains and city reservoir was situated few yards below the spot where the open sewers, such as they were, emptled their unsavory contents in the river Nile.
 Worst of all are the porous earthen- ware jars and the "mussacks," or goat skins, in which the water is carried. They are never cleaned or disinfected until the crockery gets broken or the skins burst asunder, through mingled foulness and old age. The major portion of the water drunk throughout the Orient is conveyed to its consumers in this fash ion, and eminent scientists have shown time and agai nthat when once the germ of some disease has secured a foothold in the slimy interior of a mussack or of an earthenware jar. it will ins~ct successive charges of water, no matter how pure the source of the latters sup ply
 But the latter seldom is pure. For the native water carrier, unable to un- derstand our prejudices about the mat ter. in nine cases out of ten fills his jars and his bags from the nearest tank or pool, no matter how polluted.

The action of England in the matter is of profound interest to every mari time power, especially to those which. like the United States, possess colonial dependencies in the Orient. For 1t VIII be necessary to increase the precautions against the pest at every foreign port doing trade with India, which, now pe- ing more than ever regarded as the home of the. plague. is destined to see SUI greater decline of her commerce, and' consequently, also of her industry than she has suffered until now.
 Moreover, now that the British, who are pastmasters in the art of dealing with Orientals, and whose experience of the latter extends over period of more than two hundreds years, have virtually given up the struggle of endeavoring to instll the principles of sanitation into the Asi- atics, and to protect the latter from the pestilences which periodically carry off by millions the surplus population, 1t IS probable that other colonial powers. such as Germany, France, Russia and Hol- land will follow suit, and that in the Philippines Uncle Sam will abandon the hopeless task of inculcating his dusky lieges with distasteful Western notions e1f sanitation.

 From England's, great empire Tn the f,r,ant comes the disturbing news that the plague is raging there more hercelS than At any moment since its apearanc'e seven years ago. and that the br,tlsh Government has resigned itself to allow- ing the fell diseose to run Its course unehecked. Although more than z'OOg'- FsDl people have. perished of the plague III fha Deccan since its outbreak, and the rr,,ola If India's trade and industry mas heen gravely affected by its ravages, the exports from Bombay. for instance, nav ine the fell. disease to run it's course nert. vet the English authorities seem 10 have no alternative in the matter.
 A mere handful in the midst of a teem- ing population of over 3OO,0OO.OOO or natiVes thew ind themselves helpless in the lace of the more or less passive resistance or the whole people to enforce those meas ,,res which are necessary to arrest the eoread of the pest. Isolation, segrega- 4ion. and inoculation have been in turn tried. without success, and have merely served to arouse the discontent of the natives, and to damage the prestige Of the government, by demonstrating its power Iessness to enforce its commands. Ana SO the authorities have resigned them- selves to the inevitable. and infected, per hans. by the atmosphere of fataIsm' which prevails throughout the Orient have given up the fight against the de- crees of Providence" in ,so far as the plague Is concerned.
