Arkan.a. HAD the Drop.

Secretary Shaw tells a story that
illustrates the state pride that thrills
the average citizen, says the New
York Tribune. Several travelling men
gathered in a hotel. and they fell to
discussing their respective habitats.
Il am from the greatest common
wealth of the world" said one of them.
Il am from the center of the universe,
the headquarters of the moneyed in
terests of the country, the home of
the greatest aggregationS of capital
the world has ever known. 1 am from
the state that rules the rest of the
country and furnishes the brains of
the United States. Without it the
United States would pale into insig-
nificance. l am from the empire SOW
ereignty, the great state of New York.
Where are you from?"
Il am from the greatest state in
the country" replied the person adj
dressed. New York is all right in its
way, but it doesn't weigh much with
out my state to give it being. New
York would not be on the map with
out the means my state gives to keep
it going. the actual bone and sinew
of business, the plain, hard material
for it's capitalistic enterprises and the
fuel for running the industries it DOM
mates. New York would not be a
grease spot on the map if it were not
for the Steel iron and coal for the
railroads which my state furnishes.
New York may do fairly well, but it
couldn't be really great without the
products of the great keystone of the
Union, Pennsylvania. Where are you
from?" to the next man.
Il am from the best commonwealth
in the whole wide world" responded
the third. Pennsylvania is pretty
good in some respects, and so is New
York, but l am from the greatest Sec
ton on the Lords footstool l am
from the state that raises people that
know how to do things, that furnishes
more good Presidents to the nation
than any other in the aggregation. L
am from the great state of Ohio
Where are you from?'' to the next one.
WELL" replied the fourth traveller,
'all three of you need not feel like
apologizing for your domiciles, but
they are not up to my state by d good
long ways. None of your states could
get along without food. The indus
tries of the country would anguish,
every line of human endeavor would
cease and the world would be at a
standstill and the people thereof passed
into a region beyond whereof we know
not. Why? Simply because the work.
ers are the real spinal column of every
enterprise, and the human mechanisms
that operate great industries must
have food. The people in every square
inch of the United States domain, and
the entire world as well, are dependent
on the food supplying resources of
the earth, the pabulum from the ag-
ricultural districts. 1 am from the
state that raises more grain to The
square inch than any other spot on
the earth, and if it wasn't for my
state the rest of the states would be
practically nothing. I am from Iowa.
Where are you FROM" to the fifth.
Il am from Arkansas" replied the
last one of the party, whipping out
a revolver and pointing it threatening
ly toward the rest of the group, and
don't any one of you dare say a word
agin her"

FOR GOOD ROADS.

The National and International Good
Roads Convention. in session this week
in st. Louis, will renew interest in
the subject of good and improved pub
lie highways. If we are correctly in
formed it is part of the purpose of
the st. Louis meeting to interest the
national government in the construc-
ton of graded and permanently hard
ened country roads.
There is no matter more closely con-
nected with the problem of transport
tation, in which all of the people are
interested, than this one of good coun-
try roads. The government has spent
more than $3.50, 600 on the improve
ment of rivers and harbors and the work
has hardly been more than fairly COM
menced. 1t has paid in aid of rail-
roads more than S1SS, OOO,O 900 of money
and granted nearly 200,0OO,000 acres of
land. 1t is true that the cash has
about all been returned. but the i'm
mense value in lands was a gift to
induce railroad construction. The need
of the improvements involved in these
expenditures is recognized and the aid
extended by the government is con-
coded TO have been in the line of pub
lie policy. And yet, while the gov
eminent has been thus liberal in lend
ing assistance to the Improvement of
water and rail transportation facih-
ties, it has done practically nothing for
the improvement of country, overland
transportation, notwithstanding the
fact that probably nine-tenths of the
commerce that goes to form the great
railroad and steamer tonnage must
first pass over country roads. In addi-
ton to this millions of tons of local
traffic pass over these roads. 1t is
estimated that the tonnage of freight
and the number of passengers carried
over common highways equal, if they
do not exceed, the tonnage and passen-
gers carried by every steamboat and
railroad in the land. Yet during the
past forty years the government has
expended for the improvement of these
roads the insignificant sum of about
500, 900.
At the late session of Congress q
bill was introduced providing for gov
eminent aid in road construction. I'm.
der it's terms, the locality in which the
road is built must bear a part of the
expense. The government is to con.
duct experiments with building mater
ial, and supply engineers to superintenC
the construction. The state of Pennsyl.
vania has just adopted a road law un
der which 100000 will be expended il
road improvements in the next 81,
years. Should the general government
| adopt a good roads policy Pennsyl
vania, with her state law and the co
ties, would in the course of a few
years be checker boarded with a sys
tenn of common highways that would
save the farmers and others millions
of dollars in expense OF transporta
ton. 1t has been calculated that tn,
cost of transportation over an improv
ed highway is from 20 to so per cent
less than over an unimproved road
| "A saving of even 5 per cent" on tn,
cost of the country road transporta
ton in the United States. says an au
thority, would represent an amour
exceeding the output OF every golt
mine I'm the land" And the saving
would be in the pockets Of the PEG
pie. where they would do the mos
rood

IMMIGRANTS TURNED AWAY FROM
THE SOUTH

In his address before the Chamber
of Commerce last week Mr.. ]. K. Orr,
president of the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce, said that when he was in
Europe he noticed MANY maps of the
United States which had been scat
tered every where there for the pur-
pose of advertising the West, partic-
ularly the lands owned by Western
railways. But the feature of many of
the maps that attracted his attention
was this: The Southern states were
represented by d blank. across which
were the words: THE black Belt, Don't
go there" or THE yellow Fever Coun-
try, Avoid it.
And. as a matter of fact, the immi-
grants do seem to avoid the South.
Very few of them find their way here.
And doubtless the reason is the adj
vertisements that the Western rail-
roads have scattered throughout all of
that portion of Europe that is furnish
ing the immigrants.
If we are to get immigrants we must
correct the damaging impression of the
South these Western roads have scat
tered abroad. We must send maps to
Europe stating just what sort of
country the South is, and what its adj
vantages are for home-seekers. 1t
seems to us that the railroads ought to
take the lead in this work. 1t is true
they have no lands to sell, as the
roads of the West have, but they would
be benefited by having the lands con-
tiguous to their lines settled by thrifty
people.
A little money judiciously spent in
advertising in sections of Europe from
which the kind of immigrants come
that would be acceptable to the South
would do an immense amount of good.
AS a matter of fact, nowhere in Eu-
rope among the class that furnishes
the immigrants, is there much known
about the South. 1t is time that some
thing were being done to make The
South known in localities from which
immigrants are desired.

MILES, PHILIPPINE REPORT.

Gen. Miles report of his observations
in the Philippine Islands contains little
that is new, but much that is confirm
atory of what has already been pub
lished. 1t has been very generally un-
derstood that good many wrongs and
atrocities were committed by our troops
there while the war was in progress,
and it is probable that the natives, in
localities, have been treated shame
fully by both officers and men since
order was restored. In fact. extended
accounts of the atrocities have been
published in this country and in Ma
Mia, and officers have been court-mar-
tailed and men in the ranks have been
punished 1t may be that among the
atrocities reported by Gen. Miles there
are some that had not been published.
1t would be strange if there were not
many that have never been heard Of
outside of the localities in which they
were committed.
1t is probable that Gen. Miles did
brought to his attention with the idea
that he was telling the War Depart
ment something new. He reported
them simply to show the government
and the American people that there
was ample foundation for the reports
of atrocities which had appeared in the
public prints of this country.
These wrongs and atrocities to which
the natives were subjected at the hands
of the army make a dark chapter in
the history of our possession of the
Philippines. Still, outrages and atroci-
ties are inseparably connected with
war, and it would have been remark
able if our army had put down the in
surrection in the Philippines without
having committed any. Indeed, it was
practically certain that outrages would
be committed when the work of put
ting down the instruction was under
taken. This is not said for the pur-
pose of excusing them, but simply to
explain why these reported by Gen.
Miles GILL hardly prove shocking or
startling
The feature of Gen. Miles report that
will attract the most attention from
thinking men is that which deals with
the conditions which prevail in the
islands. He does not say that the is
lands will probably prove to be bur
den to us for long time, but it seems
to us that that inference is permissible
from what he does say. He says that
in passing through the islands he was
frequently appealed to to assist the
people in getting a supply of food. OF
course the present destitute condition
of the natives is due largely to the
pestilence that recently prevailed in
the islands. Still the fact is the peo-
pie are very poor and it will be many
years before the islands will cease to
be heavy burden to this country.
1t may turn out eventually that they
will be helpful to us in extending our
trade in the Far East, but just at pres
ent the outlook is that they will con-
tinue to be for many years a burden
and a source of trouble.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
Dem.) says: 1.-THE protective tariff
is designed to keep down imports and
prevent the competition of foreign
goods; yet under the Dingley law our
imports have increased so per cent.
Some other excuse will have to be de-
vised for protection"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem. says:
Several Northern men who partici-
pated in the educational conference
in Richmond gave evidence of being
much impressed by the Southern view
of the negro problem. Men in the
North who have been loudest in their
denunciation of the Southern white
people are generally those who know
little or nothing of the actual con-
dition in the South. Sectional feeling
is due to Ignorance of other sections"
The Charleston Post says: "Savan-
nah is going after the Confederate re-
union for 1904 and she ought to get it.
The reunion held in Charleston four
years ago was one of the most success
full gatherings the veterans have ever
had and we are certain the old fellows
would find a welcome in Savannah. as
here. and would find themselves in an
atmosphere almost as historic and in
spring of great memories as that
which they breathed at Charleston"
The New York Times (Dem.) says:
THE meeting in Richmond showed
clearly that there is now no serious
misunderstanding and that there is a
very general and intelligent interest
among all classes and in all sections
OF the South in the work of education
there. Moreover, at that meeting, al
most by accident. the negro question
was raised, and II was very frankly
discussed. The result of the discussion
was 20 make it plain that the question
had nothing 70 do with the educational
movement and would not be allowed to
have. The ground is now free for men
Of all sorts Of views as to the negro
question 10 work together for educa-
ton, and there f. no doubt that they
will do 70 more and more effectually."

THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE CELE-
BRATTON.


The celebration of the anniversary of
the purchase of the Louisiana terri
tory and the dedication of the site of
the St. Louis Fair which begin to-
morrow will be an affair Of such i'm
rortance as to attract attention not
only in this country, but also in Eu-
rope. The President will be there and
deliver an address and so will ex-
President Cleveland. The French Am
bassador will be one of the orators of
the occasion. In fact there will be such
a flow of oratory that it will not be
possible for the newspapers to give at
tention to all of it.
Invitations have been sent to distin-
gushed persons by the thousands and
also to the representatives of foreign
countries. It is the purpose of the
fair management to make the occasion
a memorable one-a fitting beginning
of the greatest fair the world has ever
seen.
Some idea of the proportions of the
fair is gained from the statement that
the space that will be covered by
its exhibits will be twice that covered
by the exhibits at the Chicago Fair
ard five times that covered by the
Centennial Fair at Philadelphia in 1876.
Everything is being arranged for on
plan of magnificent proportions.
And it is but right that it should be
so. If Napoleon had understood the
possibilities of the territory which he
sold to this country a century ago
for the paltry sum of $15,000,000, and
had retained it and set himself to the
task of peopling and developing it for
the benefit of France. the probabilities
are that he would have erected an
empire that would have been far great
er and more permanent than the en-
pire that he carved out of the states
of Europe. His fame as soldier might
not have been so great, but he would
have gone down in history as an en-
pire builder.
The territory that was known as the
Louisiana purchase now contains four
teen great commemorative. The aver
age annual wheat product of that ter
ritory is worth in gold many times the
price paid France for it. Indeed, the
corn crop of a single one of the states
carved out of it-that of Iowa-is
doubtless worth every year five or
six times as much as was paid for the
entire territory.
When Jefferson completed the pur-
chase the whole territory had popu-
lation of only about $4,000. Now il
has a fifth of the population of the ma
ton and is a third of its territory. II
has 100000 people now and it is
growing in wealth and population with
remarkable rapidity. What it's wealth
and population will be at the close OF
another century there is no means OF
knowing with any degree of certainty
st. Louis, in which the fair is to be
held, was only a trading station wher
the purchase was made. Now it con.
tains more inhabitant than all of the
cities of the United States contained
| at that time. and one of the states
that have sprung up on this territory
has now greater population than al
the United States had at the time they
gained their independence 1t was z
fortunate day for this country wher
Napoleon consented to part with the
vast region included in what was tht
Louisiana Purchase.
