Pay the Debt We Owe to the Helpless

Editor The Advertiser:
 Your editorial Friday morning in favor of the proposition for aiding the Soldiers Home went straight to my heart. There are many old soldiers over the State who have no families and no means of supporting themselves. In some instances Ney are minus a leg or an eye or an arm and are in bad condition generally. They have no property and cannot earn liv- ing. These men served Alabama faith fully in the Confederate army and have as you say "A paramount claim upon the State. There will never be enough of them to impelil the State Treasury and the cost of $25.0O0 to add to buildings already on the ground will no doubt be ample for all time.
 What If the proposed S100.O00 pension increase should fail? Better that it should than to endanger the bill for relief of helpless, maimed soldiers whom every body knows to be worthy and deserving of the aid. Alabama sent say 10000 sol diers to the field from first to last. There are over 15,000 pensioners pulling for the $SOO,0O0 special tax appropriation. That is more than one-eighth of all who entered the army and everybody knows that there are not so many who are entitled to the sum apportioned from the pension fund. There are many drawing now who should be ashamed to do so. If the treasury can't stand both let the pension increase go and establish the Soldiers Home on a good basis. I speak the Sen ttments of hosts of Confederate soldiers with whom I have talked.

AN IMPORTANT WORK.

One or the most important works yet undertaken by our Government is now under way in Nebraska. but as yet little has been said about it. That work Is to cover the immense sand hills and plains of that State with a growth of pine tim Der. Government geologists who have made a careful survey of the country give it as their opinion that the region was once covered with water which de- posted an exceedingly fertile soil. Then, as the sea dred up and receded or van ished, or the land rose and drove the waters of, sands from the adjacent mountains were washed down and the good soil was covered to depth of many feet But beneath the sand the soil waits for the roots of vegetation to enter and draw nourishment and moisture, which is stored in large quantities. After the geo. logical experts reported. the scientists skilled in forestry began their experiments in efforts to find trees best suited to the sand hill climate and conditions
 This exploration and the experiments following resulted in the selection of members of the pine family as the best tree to fill all the requirements of the case, especially the bull pine," coarser and hardier variety than most others. It is proposed to experiment with other varieties. however, and the report we have read says that in ten years 1t is expected to have not less than one hundred mil lion trees growing on land where there is not now one tree to 10000 acres of land. This tree-planting is not now an entirely new experiment for trees planted in that region ten years ago are some of them twenty-five feet high and show every evil dence of continued growth.
 It Is hard to imagine the importance of this work. There are now immense areas of country In the West and Northwest which are little else than sandy deserts Grass grows on them, it is true, but there are no trees.
 If this tree-planting shall be successful. two or three important results will fol- low. Covering those immense sand plains with a heavy growth of timber will assuredly have a beneficial effect on the temperature as we'll as on the rain fall of that region for We believe it is now generally admitted that denuding any large area of timber affects the mois- ture and rainfall; consequently. if these arid deserts can be covered with dense forests, important changes may naturally be expected.
 But another result is strictly an econ omc and industrial one. The natural s upply of all kinds of timber is fast d!s- appearing in all portions of the United States, and unless at least a portion of that loss is supplied by artificial methods, 1t is not difficult to see the time and that not far distant. when there will be tim Der famine in the United States. The timber that is now proposed for the Ne braska sands will not, it is true be equal to the natural growth which is so rapidly disappearing, but 1t will be substitute of no mean importance. Those who are
 now engaged in the work may not reap
 any of the benefits, but if it succeeds
 future generations will have cause to
 bless the forethought which will trans.
 form much of our domain. and cover
 burning sand plains with forests of usefu
 timber.

ANOTHER NEW ONE.

From Berlin comes tidings of an in- vention which may have an important bearing on the future. And, to begin with, is 1t not singular how many inven- tions of out-of-the-way things we owe to Germany? They are forever getting up something that no other people would ever think of, and especially Is this true of matters relating to medicine and surg cry. It is true that some of their dis coveries never amount to anything, and some of them had much better have been left undiscovered.
 But we didn't set out to write an essay on Germany and Germans, but to say something about one of their latest in ventions which may be called a Speak ing photograph We all know some thing, more or less, about the phono- graph and instruments of like nature. An instrument which can talk is one of the comparatively modern inventions for which we owe thanks to Edison and other learned investigators. They are great ln- ventions. some of them are, and in the dark ages of the past the inventor would have been lynched and his invention con signed to the flames with due and appro- priate ceremonies. Some of them have the failing that the unfortunate parrot at- tributed to itself, in that they talk too much. but possibly that is not their fault.
 But we've strayed from the subject again and seem Tn a fair way to initiate the parrot. That would be unfortunate. Getting back to the question before the house, however, the latest discovery is designed to reproduce anything said to 1t and at the same time give an exact likeness of the one who does the talk ing. Here is where the new invention lays all over anything that has gone be- fore. Thanks to inventive genius, it is now possible to make a machine that will not only repeat the exact words spoken to it. but will give the tone and any peculiarities of speech. It is not enough that one hears what the man or woman was saying. or what any instru- ment was playing, but We also hear it just as it was said or played. Great thing, that is.
 However, we are about to get away from the subject again. If this latest re- ported invention is a fact we will not only hear man speaking or woman singing, but will actually see them while they are at it, and See all their motions and gestures. To stand before a curtain and see some great orator who may at the time be dead or in China, deliver speech exactly as he would do if present is just what this invention proposes. We may go to the theatre or exhibition hall and see and listen to man who is thous- snds of miles distant just as we would see and listen to him If he were actually before us. We may see and hear Patu sing-and not understand her any better than if she were really on the stage. if that's any consolation. This is just what the inventor means, if he isn't fake. Great scheme. is 1t not?

More Than Five.

Nashville Banner.
 The Washington Post is in error in say ing there are only five influential papers that are persistent Cleveland boomers. The Montgomery Advertiser can certainly be added to the list. and, so far as in- fiuencing votes in the convention may he considered, 1t is equally as potent as the other journals The Post has enumerated. There is a number of other newspapers that might be classed as distinctly friend ly to MT Clevelands nomination His support is no more confined to a single quintette of journals than is the support of Senator German to The Post alone A quintette at any rate should he louder and stronger than a solo, and especially when the solo does not come from a Democratic source.
 But there is small probability that Mr Cleveland will be nominated by the next convention. Many among his warmest admirers do not agree to the eXpediency of his nomination. The third term prece- dent and the violence that would be done to the prejudices of the large Bryan fol- lowing are in the way.

THE CORN CROP.

It was Dean Swifts opinion that "who- ever could make two ears of corn. or two blades of grass. to grow upon spot of ground where only one grew before. would deserve better of mankind. and do more essential service to his country. than the whole race of politicians put together"
 While we may not entertain such a con- tempt for politicians as the famous Eng fish philosopher and wit did, we can ap- preciate his high opinion Of the man who adds to the output of the essentials of life. This Is why we think so favorably of the suggestion of Professor Holden. of the Ames (Iowa) Agricultural College. that the farmers may add immensely to the nations corn crop by making careful selection and picking out by hand the very best corn for seed, and by planting three or four grains in each hill. He esti- systematically persevered in. at least 4So. .00oO00 bushels may be added to the annual corn crop without the increase of single acre in land planted. This would mean an increase of twenty per cent or more in the crop.
 While Professor Holden may be too en- thusiastic, his suggestions are certainly worth careful consideration on the part of corn growers. Each year the problem of supplying bread to the eater is becom- ing more difficult of solution. The United States must long remain the great Indian corn nation of earth. To America at large. and to our Union especially, must the people look for this staple of life. The wheat and the rye, the barley and the oats cannot supply the demands. Famines are common in the Old World because the Old World cannot feed its inhabitants. Our corn must supply what other countries are unable to produce.
 And 1t must be remembered that our Union is fast reaching the limit of acre age for farm products Not much or many additions remain to be made to the area on which corn can grow, and thus there are two factors working together. There Is a constant and increasing de- mand for our grain, and there .s the Ger tainty that little more acreage can be devoted to it. Under these circumstances if Professor Holden can add twenty per cent to the present yield, without any ad- dition to the acreage, he will be worth more than some politicians. at least. As The American Farmer says: This re- form should be discussed this winter at farmers institutes throughout the corn belt" and we may add that it is a sub ject which may well attract the attention of farmers everywhere.
 The farmers are a conservative people, as a class. They have been accused of old fogyism, and taunted with the habit of doing just as their fathers did, but to their credit they are fast growing out of this. They are seeing and feeling the benefits of labor-saving machinery, of i'm proved seeds and methods of cultivation. and are otherwise taking advantage of the many Improvements and discoveries of the age. Here, then. is a chance for them to better themselves and to add very materially to the necessities of the world. There is not likely to be a sur plus of corn in the United States or a time when raising 1t will not be profit able.

principal difference between them and other hogs Is that their feet are not split but are shaped very much like a mules hoof. little more pointed than the mules. It is said that the breed origin ally came from Brazil. but have been in Kansas and Indian Territory a number of years. and ,pne breeder writes that he raises them exclusively and finds them superior breed. What advantage their peculiar feet gives them we do not know
 but no doubt many of them get into shows and menageries where each is ex- hibited as "the only living specimen"

Evergreen, Ala, Sept. Il, 1903. Editor The Advertiser:
 In your issue of the 10th your reporter, in making a report of the proceedings before the Temperance Committee on Wednesday evening, included my name as one of the advocates of the bill before said committee. I did not say anything before the committee either for or against the bill. My county was not affected by the bill. 1t being a prohibition county. All that I have done on the dispensary question has been against establishing a dispensary in a prohibition district.

The Boston Herald is very much of our opinion about the free rides of the Pres ident and the special trains placed at his disposal by the railroads. It says:
 If this were a tour of inexoEable public duty, the Government ought to foot the bill, not a railroad corporation. If it were a tour in the interest of the Re publican party the party organization ouhgt to foot the bill. If it were a tour of personal recreation and pleasure, the beneficiaries ought to foot the bill. In no case ought a railroad corporation be per mitted to charge itself with the cost as A gratuity.
