 'As goes Florida, so goes the South" chOrtled The Atlanta News. when 1t thought the banana State would send a solid Hearst delegation to St. Louis It was only figure of speech, even had the supposition been true, which 1t was not, for Hearst will get but one-thlrd of the delgation. at best. and even that is not an assured fact. But the claim that. if Florida should lower itself by sending a solid delegation to the con- vention, the other Southern States would follow suit, is too absdrd for serious consideration. Besides, the weather in Florida will soon be real warm and unless they put the Hearst boom on ice. it Is likely to spoil before it can be used. It has a bad odor everywhere. and is not of the kind to stand hot weather.

AN ExCELLENr sUaeEsrIoN.

In the address of MT. Fitts to the Bankers Association in this city, there was one point made by him that per- haps has not received the attention it deserves. There was a number of good suggestions made by him, but the one to which we now refer was that in which he spoke for School of Mines Auburn.
 The question of education is attracting a great deal of atten- tion of late. and very properly SD. We of Alabama are not quite the illit- crate ignoramuses that some wish to make 1t appear. Our State and our people have been doing about all they could to educate the youths of the State, and when all things are considered, we think both State and individuals are en- complished and Is in process of accom- plishment We really have little to be ashamed of under all the circumstances. If more might have been done, we must not forget that much has been accom- plished, and that the spirit of educa- tion is all over the country.
 Nevertheless, with all that has been done, there is no doubt that too little attention has been paid to industrial and technical education. We educate our children for doctors and lawyers and teachers and other professions, but all of them cannot find room in those callings, even if all were fitted for them. which is not the case. We spend our time and money educating the heads and minds, but neglect the hands. Con- sequently. when thorough engineer or mining or manufacturing expert Is required, we have usually had to im- port one. As MT. Fitts said:
 The graduates from the school of mines. possessing the requisite educat- ed skill, would develop. your iron and coal fields. and soon would not allow your iron to be shipped in pigs; the graduates from your textile schools, possessed of tho requisite educated skill, would soon prevent your cotton from being shipped in bales. They would find no difficulty in organizing companies for the purpose of manu- featuring your cotton and iron. Pos sessing the confidence of their fathers, they would easily obtain the requisite capital for the organization of com panies. What a grand blessing this would prove to the young men of our State! They would be enabled to ob- tain profitable. highly remunerated em- ployment around their own homes, in- stead of seeking, as they now do, a pitt tance that barely supports them, in distant fields.
 This picture is not by any means too highly colored. The possibilities of Alabama are almost without limit, and the room for development is practically boundless. If our mines can be devel- -oped, our railroads surveyed and built and our manufacturing all done by our own people, and under the supervision of experts educated in our own schools, 1t will make us the most prosperous and independent people on the globe We have the raw material. both ani- mate and inanimate, for all our needs. present and prospective. We must ed ucate the one and utilize the other. We should fit our own sons to do both the brain work and the head work neces- sary to get the best advantages from the many resources provided by nature. The suggestion of MT. Fitts Is an ex- cellent one and should be followed

Whence Came "Humhue 2.

The word ''humbug" has been trac- ed back to the title-page of the Uni versal Jester, being a choice collection of merry conceits, bon-mots and hum bugs, by Ferdinando Killlgraw, Lon- don, 1735-40," says Stray Stories.
 The following are the most plausi- ble and possible derivations;
 In the time of James II a worthless coin was minted at Dublin from a soft, mixed metal. which became known as ufm bog, pronounced oombug, 1. e.. soft copper, worthless money.
 Others refer it to hum, in the sense of hoax, and bug, in the old sense of bug-bear.
 Others say it is merely hum buzz used in combination to signify sound without sense. Others, again, think that it was first applied to Homberg, a chemist and an ardent seeker of the philosophers stone.

May Reach It.

Birmingham Ledger
 MT. Roosevelt may reach his ambi- ton. which Is to be President longer than any other President. He has been President for three years by accident. and If elected will serve full term of four years from next March. That will give him seven and half yeara in office, and then he will be entitled to a second term. which will give him near Even should he accomplish this it would not make him the equal of the greater Presidents. At the same time 1t would give him the kind of fame he likes.
