GOOD SENSE St. Paul Globe Urges Terri
 tOrial Government
The St Panl Globe says.

The St. Paul Globe says;
 There is not a reason worth listen ing to why Alaska should not have a regularly organized territorial govern meut at once. It is settled by Ameri- can citizens of the stalwart character and seli-governing ability that have characterized all our pioneers. The adverse conditions with which they have had to struggle have attracted only the boldest and hardest of the race. There are today more than lOO,- 900 people in Alaska, and these are nearly an American born. Why on earth should they not be permitted to frame a government for themselvesI
 Why should they beexcluded from that measure of right that was granted long ago to the more than half Spanish col o1ies of New Mexico and ArizonaY
 "Every objection Co the territorial condition for Alaska is vapid and ab- surd. Ii we have DO sympathy for an- other race across the seas in its desire for seIi-goverument. let us at least no longer keep our own people on our soil in this state of vassalage Make Alas ka a territory"

The marvellous successes ot wireless relegraphy already. are most gratifying to mankind and the interest concerning this invention grows as it's new achieve ments multiply. Up to recently its uses were thought to be confined to Ear- row limits. such as telegraphing be- tween ships at sea and from sea to land, but now its prospects for successful Use commercially are greatly brighten ed in view of the sending of messages successfully across the ocean. The great anxiety which was felt over the non-arrival of the St Louis. now hap oily dispelled, as our dispatches this morning announce. emphasizes the value of wireless telegraphy; and the equipping of all the leading transat- lantic steamship lines with the necessa- ry instruments for this means of com munication will henceforward. no doubt, go forward rapidly. Thus equipped. a disabled steamer can launch a message into space with good prospects of its being received by some other vessel sailing over like route, whether in the same or the opposite direction. The su- periority of this means of communica- ton of news over the present flag sig mailing way, is great. Flag signals can be seen not over five or ten miles, while wireless telegraphy can tell the story of disaster or joy as the case may be for a distance of from one hundred to one hundred and fifty miles. The wire less telegraphy ships can send the news of the day to one another from time to time on the voyage and thus pa ssengers making the ocean trip need not be shut out hereafter from all news of what is going on in the world, while they sail from shore to shore. There are diff culties in transmitting news from ship to ship yet to be overcome, but they are technical only. They can be mainly overcome by the adoption of a uniform apparatus on shipboard. Truly the age of wonderful discoveries and inven- tions has not passed.

IN 3HF SOUTH.

| Times are changing in the Southern states. There is no longer perverse Op- position to the building of railroad lines by Northern capital. There is a melt ing away of the old racial prejudices growing out of the lrrepressible con- flict" and "the late unpleasantness" that followed it and there is much more union of feeling since brave men North and South fought together under the old flag in the war with Spain and in the far off Philippines. Now also there is a melting away of the opposition, fierce it was at first, to the establish ment of schools and colleges in the South by northern associations. Edwin A. Alderman, president of Tulane Uni versity, speaking in Philadelphia the other night, at reception given by the American Academy of Political and Social Science to the General Educa tion Board and the Southern Educa- ton Board, said in the course of his address: The cry, let us alone used sometimes to come from the South. It was the cry of sensitive people, eX asperated by the fierce criticism of three generations, and conscious of iso- lation, and yet of dignity and high pur- 2 NI, ics hoT n pier cry. We are one nation. Members of one body. We do not want to be let alone"
 Robert C. Ogden, president of the Southern Education Board, another speaker at the reception, said that the Southern Education Board is an or ganization for a propaganda whereas the General Education Board is an or ganization for the administration of money, These boards, working in har- mony with the trustees of the Peabody and Slater funds develop, he said, a community of interests that prevents both duplication of work and competi- ! tion. ''The appeal" he said, 'of the school population throughout the more l backward states to the liberality and patriotism of the people of this land cannot fail to move the mind and heart of every patriotic American"
 1 Now this Is a great deal more as it should be. Gradually and surely the dead past is being buried and the peo- pie North and South are drawing closer together in the bonds of true fraternal spirit.

that the cost of repairs has been great iy reduced. Farm property a,ong these roads has largely increased in value and the farming sectio:s ars more Iros- porous.
 The roads are made by convict labor, the county using the latest improved road-making machinery-crushers and rollers. Rock found near the road is utilized, and trained men superintend the work.
 Bonds were issued to pay for this work. and the cost has been considera- ble, but that it is regarded as a paying investment is shown by the fact that preparations are being made to ma cadamize more than one hundred miles more, SD that all the principal roads in the county may be joined in com- plete system.

North Carolina, which has been termed the Wales of America, in view of it's numerous clusters of high moun- tains and it's many wild and pictur- esque landscapes, is no longer a coun- try of wretched roads, although it may be still infested with moonshiners and darkies cabins, each of the latter pop- ulated by from six to sixteen pickanin- nies. It is, like the other sout hern States, falling into line with the march of progressive ideas. Take the good roads line, for example. Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, in which Char lotte is the principal city, has long been held up as q model by advocates of road improvement. That county has for many years been laying excellent macadam roads that the makers be- lieve will last for generations.
 A recent statement of Superintendent of Roads $. T. Howe shows that 118 miles of these macadam roads have been constructed and are now in use. The saving to the farmer in transport ation has been great as he can send his produce to market in any kind of weather, his teams draw several times the loads they could over the old dirt roads, and there are so few breakdowns
