MRARY RnTHN

Gone-in the sweet purity of her young girlhood. Gone. like some fragrant flower cut off ere it is half-blown, and trans ported to a purer cline to open and shed beauty and love in a higher sphere. ''Thou hast all seasons for thine own. O Death!" sang the poet. The grim reaper is impartial and unrelenting. In the hovel or the palace he stalks and carries away the infant. the blooming maiden, tho stalwart man and the hoary sire.
 She was Baby Ruth' to the Cleve- land family in her infancy, and Baby Ruth" she will be in their memories while life lasts. The last sad rites, the casket the grave. hide her from human sight, but in the hearts of the bereaved ones she is still the "Baby Ruth" whose com ing gladdened their hearts, md whose going leaves a void never to be filled. While they remain on earth will the bereaved father and mother hold in their hearts the sweet memories of the loved one who was taken before her time. as mortals view it. but whose image is graven where nothing can efface it.
 Tn the presence of great sorrow, the bitterness and the animosities of human nature nay be laid aside and nothing but kindly sympathy be felt for those who mourn. To MT. and Mrs. Cleveland in their sorrow-crowned home will go out the heartfelt coincidence of all who can feel for human suffering and sympa- thize with those who have lost a loved one. To all Death must cume. No man may tell why the young and lovely are taken and the oll left. No one can tell why the shaft should pass many who may deserve it and pierce one for whom. as humanity views it, life held nothing but brightness. May the good God who took Baby Ruth" to Ills own bosom comfort those who mourn.

BUILDING THE PANAMA cAaUar
Two Years Must be Spent in Gettig

Fullerton L. Waldo in Engineering Mag
 zine. -
 Thirty thousand men it is said will 3 wanted for the actuaul digging of tb canal. But no one can authoritative say at present just how many men wi be needed. Ere the real work of buildin Is reached two preliminary years mus be spent in getting ready exact and ac curate engineering specifications in pre- the route--a huge and all-important, bt perfectly feasible, undertaking-in g. ranging to enforce police and militay regulations, in developing the existent C. cellent hospital system and in the wors of sanitative engineering at the ternni and along the entire canal strip. Aftr all this has been done it Is supposed te Panama Canal will take eight years o build.
 The plan of the Isthmian-Canal Co., mission for the maintenance and operath of the finished canal. which was not pN- lished in their official report, but whh was later introduced at a hearing befoe a subcommittee of the Senate Comm tee on Inter-oceanic Canals. Is of intertt and significance, now that the fulhllnet of the project is assured.
 By this plan the general control 6 vested in a governor, at Colon. The SC. ernor will be responsible to a supreie board of five at Washington. Subor- nate to the governors offlee are six t- partments-of engineering. transit, mel cine, finance. law and police respective. The entire maintenance of the canal, q cording to the official estimate, will emit tn services of at least six hundred aa forty-five persons. exclusive of the ma cost of annual maintenance is about $t 0O0 000

PANAMA TREATY DEBAT.
May Injure General Woods Chates

Washington Special to Chicago Chron.le. General Woods nomination Is bounsto
 become mixed with the canal proceedigs
 and the General will probably suer
 thereby. Owing to an agreement wkh
 Senator Hanna the nomination cannot Ie
 taken up until after January Is becaue the Senator will be in Ohio until tht
 date. The 16th falls on Saturday ah
 therefore the nomination will not be cot
 sidered until the following Monday. I'll
 treaty will probably be before the Senat
 at that time and 1t will have right q
 way.
 The fight against Wood will be as bittei and prolonged as the fight against ratif1 cation of the treaty, and, inasmuch as it will have a personal feature. 1t Is lesa likely to be settled on the basis of com
 promise than any other matter which ie pending before the Senate.
 The chances are that the Wood nomina- ton will be temporarily put aside to en- able the Senate to give free consideration to the canal treaty. It will not do to IT K the nomination and treaty, because there
 might be created entanglemen|s which
 would be hard to unravel. Woods fritpds
 are very anxious that his nomination shall be confirmed before the treaty Is coisid- cred, but 1t has been pointed out that if
 this course is undertaken the treaty night
 be endangered. These friends believtthat if the nomination is put over unt the treaty Is ratified Wood cannot be con- firmed. Their reasoning seems to b log. ical and accurate.

19O-s
 We have had several deliverances dur ing the holidays. the last in New York on the prospects of the Democratic party in the coming campaign. We have read every one of these with care and we may add with 8 deep sense of sOlicitude for the success of our party. Some of our Contemporaries in Alabama, restless and indignant over being found out as thick headed and dead wrong, continue to scon at The Advertiser because of the course we chose to take some years since when we believed the party had been headed straight for disaster and defeat. we did what we thought right to save the Democratic Party. We are not bras- ging how and we do not care one iota about triumpning over anybody in claim ing we were governed by conscientious sense of duty in doing what we then dld. We are far more concerned as to the fu- ture. It is the future that concerns us and that ought to concern every Demo- craf.
 1Ir. Lucking, of Michigan, thinks the Democratic Party cannot afford to pro- pose to touch the tarifr. MT. DeArmond, of Missouri, believes we cannot consider as a possible candidate for the Presl- dency on our ticket this year any man who did not vote for Bryan in 1898 and 1900. Mr. Lucking and Mir. DeArmond both say the party should get together. They are emphatic in thinking this is the only way to win victory. Unquestion. ably they are right in holding the party must get together. but are they right in 51xing terms upon which the party is to get together. We are not disposed to laugh at these statesmen, these bouuuet orators, who dare tell us precisely what we must do to ensure success. They help to clarify opinion. We do think, how ever, that 1t Is idle to try to lay down the law thus early in the campaign. We must hope that the representatives of the marty will assemble determined to put before the country the best platform and fiic best ticket they can offer We do not need to trim or to compromise either as 4o the platform or the ticket. There are many who think President Roosevelt is an easy man to beat. We do not think so. He is an individual fellow. He is very popular and very unpopular. He vnust be reckoned with and very seriously in spite of the curses heaped on him in some quarters. He cannot be beaten with a yellow dog on a yellow platform. The Democracy must do its best. In our anninion to do our best, we must talk as ,nr,ch as we please for the coming months hut let us wait for final defnitive say-so as to candidate and platform until the convention meets.

Only One Question at Issue.

Philadelphia Ledger.
 The Governor If Michigan, one Bliss should recognize the fitness of things and been pardoned by him, and he attempts to shield himself under the shadow of 6 petition on which 1t appears there were many forged signatures. The names of were on the petition, and of course that was irresistible to a modern Governor who. is nothing If not merciful to the thief who steals by wholesale. The weak interests; he gazes only on the signers or the manufactured petitions and their vot- ing. potentiality. The real question In such cases Is. Did the man wreck the let the whole world sign a petition; the duty of the Governor is to uphold the law and its moral effect.

"'
 The Advertiser has on various occa- sions spoken of the good results which would follow bringing to Alabama A reo- sonably large number of good white farmers and fruit and vegetable growers. and in our judgment that need is inten- sihed by the present and prospective 1.oa price Of cotton. It is not probable that the South will ever grow too much cotton to supply the demands and requirements of the world. but it Is both poss,b,e and probable for our section to grow too little Of other crops. In other words, while our farmers are raisiug all the cotton the world wants. they will be largely depend ent for food for themselves and their stock. and for all the other inhabitants of our great State.
 This. as we view 1t. is the only danger to bc apprehended from high-priced cot ton: it will cause all other crops to be neglected. If then we can bring to the State sufficient number of reliable white settlers who are accustomed to rais. ing vegetable and grain crops, they will dc, much to settle the problem of feeding the cotton growers and all others who are dependent on the farmers. Immigra- ton agents should not fail to empha size these advantages which Alabama offers to industrious 1aborers and see that our State gets a share of the better class of immigrants who now so so largely to the Northwest. We can offer them a bet ter climate. cheaper land and a greater demand for all food products than can the Northern States, and we should get them.

If the civic author ities of that city will see to it that no theatre shall entertain an audience un- less it is thoroughly safe to do so, future horrors may be avoided.

RoosEvELr's FOES.
Are Getting Ready to Wage Earnest
 War Against Him.

|
 Republican politicians in this city had their first intimation today of definite and organized anti-Roosevelt movement
 where money IS being spent. ,, ,-
 Der of Republicans in the House, and
 many ofice-holders who have influence | in their own States found In their mall letters postmarked at Indianapolis con-
 taining anti-Roosevelt literature. In most cases this literature was clippings Of edi- torial articles that have appeared m The Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune,t the news paper that declared just before the meet . | ing of the Republican National Commit | tee that Roosevelt cannot carry NewYork
 State and other States in the East.
 Word has come to Washington that sim | liar literature is being sent b-oadcaSt over
 the country from Indianapolis. The ex-
 tent of the circulation of this matter makes 1t certain that somebody has de-
 voted large sum of money to the move-
 ment.
 l It is understood in Washington that within a short time literature of differ
 ent character. but distinctly antt-Roose-
 welt in tone. will be sent out from New York.
 Nobody knows here who Is putting up the money.
 Kansas has been flooded with the same
 sort of letters. and they are going Into large numbers. The clippings do not advocate any one man as proper person To nominate fn- stead of Roosevelt but the inference can be drawn that Hanna is the man desired. It Is known positively that several men have recently left Washington with mes sages for various influential politicians in different parts of the United States that 1t was not deemed wise to put on paper. These concerned the anti.Roosevelt move ment. It Is the talk here that within a month the anti-Roosevelt movement will pc in full swing. Skilled politicians say it Is too early yet for the men who are d,ing the manipulating to disclose themselves. but that they will be known by March l.
 Nobody here. who will talk. knows who Is engineering the movement and who is putting up the money. The Hanna peo- pie claim absolutely that Hanna is -ot candidate and will not be.
 Senator Platt has been twice to the White House this week to assure MT. Roosevelt that the New York delegates will be for him absolutely and unreserv- edly. Senator Quay said a day or two ago with much emphasis there would not be vote cast against Roosevelt in the convention.
 Notwithstanding all this. there Is a feeling among Republicans. based on many little signs rather than on any im- portant development that there is a well defined and well organized movement to defeat Mir Roosevelt for the nomination and that there will be conclusive devel- | opments within the next six weeks or two | months.

Do Not Ruin the Party 1

Mobile Register.
 The Register agrees thoroughly with the opinion of The Pensacola Journal that Senator German is jeopardizing his own chances of success as presidential candidate and the success of his party at the polls next November by his attempt to make the ratification of the Panama treaty party question.
 The plain truth Is that the people will not have 1t that way.
 The people know that Panama inde- pendence is an established fact, and that revolutions do not move backward, and in this instance will not be allowed to do so.
 The people know that, now that the re- cognition has been given by the United States. by Great Britain, by Germany, France and all the great nations of the world. it is not going to be withdrawn; and that such an act would be an invi- tatton to warfare and bloodshed on the 1sthmus-an invitation no civilized nation will be willing to extend.
 It is a mistake to think that the Demo- cratic Party can oppose the ratification for the consequences. If those conse- Quences should be delay in the build ing Of the canal or the assumption by some other power of the right to build be much blamed. Even the attitude of op- position, therefore, is a thing dangerous to Senator German and to the party and must be avoided if the intersts of the party are tO DO FcSpcCISO
 The people are not making fine distinc- tions. They never do. They judge by re- suits. They want peace in Panama, so that the canal can be built, and they want the preparations for building the canal expedited. They will refuse to turn aside to listen to orations concerning the ''disgrace'' of the administration that has thrown its protection around Panama. They will say that the thing has been done; it cannot be undone. Criticise tho administration as severely as you please, but vote for the treaty; and do not be long about it, either.
 This is public sentiment all over this country, but particularly so in the South ern States, whose commercial welfare so largely depends upon the opening of the canal. We pray Senator German to give head to it.
