ALABAMA

The fact that seven Barbour county whitecappers were recently tried at Troy and bound over to the United States court under $500 bond reminds us that we have not yet outlived our reconstruction habits.

 From present indications the summer school at the state university. if authorized by the legislature, will prove of great benefit to the cause of education in Alabama. It will afford excellent op- portunities for students who are behind to complete their course, and will also prove a boon to state teachers who desire to brush up in certain lines of research.
 It is quite probable that the German cruiser Fake, now at Pensacola, Fla, will pay visit to Mobile. German citi- zens of the town have been informed that the vessel Is expected and extensive pre- parations are being made to extend cordial reception.

Attendance on the first day was the largest ever recorded in the history of the institution The Judson is one of the strongest of our southern colleges for women and is a source of much pride to Alabamians. Its gradu- ates have played a conspicuous part in school and educational affairs for half century.
 The Selma Journal thinks it would be splendid idea to reserve both places in Statuary hall at Washington for Senators Pettus and Morgan. On account of the great esteem in which these two veteran statesmen are held by the people of Ala bama the suggestion will no doubt meet with favor in many quarters and would prove an easy solution of vexing prob lem. But there are also others who be- lieve there are men among our departed leaders have done enough for this state to merit a place in the hall of fame In view of the fact that both Alabama sena- tors come from Selma, if the suggestion of the Journal were acted upon it would rebound much to the glory of the Black Belt town.

pNNNYPACKER

A current number Of the Inde-
pendent contains an article by Hon.
Charles Emory Smith on Governor
Pennypacker's press muzzling bill.
It is a strong arraignment of the
law and an excellent epitome of the
governors mental characteristics
Mr.. Smith says of him "Unhappily,
with his othor good and bad quail
ties he has no more sense Of humor
than a clam" Regarding that
amazing explanation he says, "In
the face Of the most earnest protests
the governor signed the bill and
filed with it an explanatory message
which, it is safe to say, is the most
remarkable paper that ever emenat-
ed from an executive. Iu its blend
ing of honest resentment, of per
sonal venom, of misleading hall
truths, of unacoountable misstate
ment, of fantastic reasoning and OF
unconscious buffoonery, it is unpar-
alleled among official documents. "

Stealing Public Lands

The current issue Of the Review
contains an article by VIM. @. Alden
of Nebraska, himself a live stock
grower, in which he states that for
the past ten years systematic and
extensive stealing of the public lands
Of the west has been in progress until
now the majority of the lands which
are being acquired from the govern
ment are obtained through gross
fraud and perjury. He estimates
that last year, Of the twenty million
go, 700, ,000) acres OF public land which
passed into private ownership, three
fOurths of it or 10 million acres was
acquired by fraud and false swearing.
Under the present land laws, lands to
be acquired from the government
must be reclaimed to irrigation or
improved and cultivated. This, how
ever, is not being done. The lands
are taken up by land dealers and
large stock outfits and held for specu-
lation or for grazing purposes. The
only remedy he sees in sight is the
repeal of the desert land law and the
commutatiOn provision of the home
stead law as advocated by the presi-
dent in his last message and this he
believes to be the immediate duty OF
the political party in power.

The presidents return to Washing
ton was a great ovation which must
have made his homecoming one of
the very pleasant events OF his entire
pilgrimage. The dense crowd on
Pennsylvania Avenue must have
reminded him of that time, over
three years ago, when in company
with William Mckinley he rode over
the same route.
A feature Of President Roosevelps Is
tour has been the non-partisan spirit
displayed at his reception at every
point, democrats vying with republic
cans to extend to him the heartiest
welcome. During the 55 days that
he spent on the road, the president
made 265 speeches, and had ii not
been for Secretary Loeb's frmness ne
would have made a hundred addi-

FOB A COUNTY FAIR

FOR 4 COUNTY FAIR
The suggestion has been made
that there should be county fair
held this fall on the grounds of the
Driving Park. While agricultural
fairs have degenerated somewhat
and in many places there has been q
lack of interest shown by farmers,
yet they can be made excellent edu-
Gators and of benefit to the com
munity. If farmers would consult
the advantages to be derived from a
healthy rivalry in their business,
the knowledge to be gained by a
general interchange of opinions and
comparison of methods of work,
treatment of soils and the ways and
meansadopted by others to attain
success in the raising of products they
would find these fairs of great prac.
tical aid. Competition in farming,
as in all other professions, is so
keen that the successful farmer
must study closely the most eco.
nomical means of attaining the best
results. He must be wide awake
and progressive, he must be inJelli-
gent and thoughtful. He cannot
farm as did his ancestors. He must
adopt present methods and avail
himself of all the modern appli-
ances or be left in the race for the
goal of even moderate success.
Formerly farmers in this section
depended largely on raising grain as
a means a support, now they buy
largely. What branch of farming
can they pursue here to the best
advantage TO replace the raising OF
cereals in which they have been
supplanted by the western farmer
Would systematic daring payi
Would the production of fruits be
greatly renumerative? These are
questions which farmers might
discuss. Why should they not act
ia concert for the mutual profit and
advantage. Farmers complain oi
trusts, bat trusts are only aggrega-
tions of shrewd business men fol
their own gain. Let farmers adopi
the same plan and combine foi
their mutual gain Really they
hold the balance of power and til,
key to the situation if they would
unite and not in concert. We wish
it were possible to arouse in tn,
farmers in this section spiri
OF emulation and create within
them a determination to lopt bet
ter methods and unite in furtherinl
their own interest. supporse WI
