llnhtlna Up Streets.

We are row figuring on a proleet "l'n the mercnants doing business on the north side of Second avenue, between Nineteenth and Twenty-hrst streets that should do much to brighten the business part of town at night" said represen- tative of the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company yesterday.
 Our plan f this: We propose to put up sixteen arc lights along the curbing of the. sidewalk, eight to each block. and they will be so located that two of the smaller stores can be served by one light, In that case two mer- chants share the expense. The larger establishments will have individual lights
 These lights will be swung about ten or fifteen feet above the pavement, just over the curb, and at night they will Illuminate the street brilliantly. l have already secured the cooperation of ma Jority of the business men concerned. and hope to carry out our scheme very shortly.
 some of the merchants on First ave- nue between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets have had these street lights up and are well pleased with the results. Their venture Is, however, private en- terprise. We want the merchants of Sec ond avenue to cooperate with us in beautifying the down town district"

N T LEAST the republican party VO1 can point to one commodity that is cheaper now than 1t was in 1903, and that Is whisky. High proof spirits are quoted at the lowest figure since December 1. 1903. when the price was sl.25. Whether this Is directly due to the efforts of MT. Roosevelt or the bad faith of dealers in not holding to an agreement reached in New York is mat ter of doubt. but cheaper whisky can hardly be made good campaign material for the republicans, although 1t might be stout argument for the prohibition ists against further continuing In office a party that permits such @ state of af- fairs.
 Judge Parker says that his hair was redder when he was boy than 1t is now. In his youthful days he was forced to resent the epithet 'sorrel top" so often that his present vigorous constitution was builded in the stress of youthful battles. Perhaps after all it was fortunate thing for Judge Parker that his hair was red. Red-headed boys are usually self-reliant boys. They have to be, and if they have any spunk at all they eventually fight their way to courageous manhood.
 The Bible Is now being taken for an au- thority in matters of diet Because Exodus, Chapter XVI, shows that the people lived we'll for forty years on but two meals day. 1t is argued that we could do like wise After all the most cogent argument for reducing the number of meals we eat is the decrease In expenses that would result. Few people will deny themselves the qualification of an appetite unless perchance some other appetite may be satisfied. Yet those persons who are con- stantly experimenting to discover a way of living that will make them healthy, happy and wise should not overlook the fact that what Is one mans meat Is an- others poison. There are some people who can thrive on two meals day while others require three or four, and still others manage to get along admirably on one. The health cranks will never be able to devise a system of rules that will fit everybody.

Neqroes in the cotton FeIds.

A"I have just taken a trip through t6n cotton belt of East Alabama and gia," said a business man last and the fields are white with the staple. One fact impressed me strl and that was that in those cottonW only negro labor was employed. T old-time darkey, male and female, the middle-agsd and the pickanInies, and the contrast between the white fleece and the ebony skins carried me back to the old times.
 T saw no white labor. Occasionally there was mounted overseer or the master of the farm giving directions and watching progress.
 T could not but think that the cotton field Is the natural element of the negro, and wondered what the south would do without him."

Courageous MT. Roosevelt.


 From the New York Post.
 Jaundiced critics of President Roose- welt eve have heard 1t alleged that such beings exisD will say that his giving out of letter from Governor Wright as if in answer to Judge Parker on the Philippines, is prostitution of the pub lie service to partisan ends. But we at least cannot so view 1t. To use 1t ap- pears one more fearless act of an heroic President, letting the truth be known though it make against even himself. Governor Wright says that "the continu- ed discussion as to the capacity of the Filipino for self-government and his im- mediate or ultimate independence is hav- ing It's effect here, and makes our task more difficult" Now this is a shaft aim ed directly at MT. Roosevelt himself. For 1t was he. the President of the United States, knowing that his words would go with all their official weight to the Philippines, who said in his Memorial NM. address in 1902, that our task in
 kpines was the introduction of
 ly liberty, the iaw-abiding
 the individual, which Is the
 foundation upon which na-
 endence can be built" Thus
 kght Is addressing a severe ident Roosevelt. And that noN cad of dismissng or cen surtns lent subordinate, boldly publfsfiV condemnation!
 M Difficulty. From the Bost
 Senator Lodge republicans of Newton last evenl1y he was person. ally in favor of recip hI trade relations with Canada and otiSr countries but that he found practical difficulty" in the way.
 What is this practical difficulty?'' MT. Lodge falls to make himself entirely clear He told the Essex county farmers the other day that he had their interests closely at heart because of the enormous value of the agricultural products of Mas sachusetts. Who would believe, he said, that the annual value of these products was $146,000,0O0 a year? The senator missed his figures and took those of Mich igan instead of those of Massachusetts. And 1t is upon such mistaken and im- aginary notions-foolish and unpardonable in public man who pretends to states manship and to the knowledge and the accuracy of statement which give au- thority to his utterances-that Mir Lodge bases his plea of practical difficulties' | in the way of reciprocity with Canada. There are no practical difficulties as 1 6O,OO0 business men of Mir. Lodges own party declare. The vaporings of a pollti- elan who does not know the facts of his own argument count for nothing 1 Throw out Senator Lodges theories l They have no basis in fact as he has | shown.
