Thy frank election make;

County School Tax.

When the general election was held
last week Cullman, Madison, Morgan
perry, Greene, Autauga and Pike
voted on the question of raising ten
cents on each one hundred dollars of
assessed valuation, as a special county
school tax under the terms of the con-
stitution of 1901. The proposition
calls for a three-fifths affirmative vote,
and yet 1t was carried in every county
but Pike, and in Pike the result is I'M
known
The liberality of Greene county Is
noteworthy. In that county there are
824 white children of school age, and
6409 negro children. The white chill.
dren have been well cared for all along
in the public schools, and yet three
fourths of the voters-all white-voted
to tax themselves in order that longer
terms of school could be held in the
schools attended by negro children. 1t
is signal instance of fair play in race
matters.
Now that a good beginning has been
made it is believed nearly every coun-
ty in this state will vote to levy a
special school tax. A special school
tax will tide us over to 1907, when it
is hoped a constitutional amendment
can be passed, putting Alabama on the
basis of Louisiana by permitting any
school district to levy and collect any
school tax 1t may desire.

In the south a large majority Of

CoaIing in Neutral Ports.

peace conference at The Hague
should be assembled, If for no other
reason than to determine when and
how neutrals may supply belligerent
sims of war with coal. At present
the entire subject is in a muddled
condition.
J England and Germany and Den
mark would not supply the Baltic
fleet with coal, and it put In at yigo,
Spain, where, after much discussion
and against the protests of Japan, the
feet was allowed to take coal to the
extent of 400 tons for each vessel.
This was ostensibly done to enable it
to reach the nearest home port, and
yet its destination was known, and
any vessel can at sea go where it will.
What next? The Baltic feet was
divided into two parts, the one to go
around the Cape, and the other to go
through the canal, the two to be re-
united near Ceylon, in Asiatic waters.
The fleet going around the Cape was
permitted to coal at Dakar, French
West Africa. The feet going through
the canal took coal at Tangier, also
controlled by the French. 1t can not
take coal at any Italian or English
port, both powers insisting that the

Ell Paso Is Lonely.

the sandy wastes that stretch away in
the distance the gaily-clad Mexieans at
the station. and the array of antiquated
hacks lined up for custom, he will i'm
mediately come to the conclusion that he
would rather be anywhere else in the
world but that particular spot.
although Ell Paso is a most interesting
little city, there is no denying the fact
that it Is lonesome. To man who has
lived all his life in the more thickly set
tied parts of the country the isolation of
El Paso Is complete. There is no town of
any Importance within a days ride on a
train. The town is in the rurthermost
corner of Texas, and right at the point
where the Texas. New and Old Mexico
boundary lines intersect.
Although the stranger may think that
El Paso has a dreary appearance, the
town is quite lively, and they tell some
wondrous tales about the gambling that
goes on in the palaces of chance l have

ton | am not prepared TO say, but the
life of El Paso Is much more vigorous and
untrameed than 1t is in the so-called
effete east"

FEEDS SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Paris Has Given Them Free Meals
and shoes for Thirty Years.

From the New York World.
The speech of Superintendent Maxwell
of the New York public schools in ST.
Louis recently, In which he declared that
thousands Of children in city schools
are unable properly to attend their stud
les because Of the gnawing of hunger,
has already borne fruit In Milwaukee,
where breakfasts-are now supplied free
to all poor children who may apply for
them.
While this is the first application of
this plan In America. 1t has long been
practiced in Paris, where. since 1874.
fund has been in existence for providing
poor children with shoes, clothing and
the necessaries of life.
At first only the children of the Mont
martre district were thus favored. but
gradually the idea spread until in 1882
law was passed extending the plan to
all the city communes.
These school funds. intended primarily
only to provide clothing, prizes and other
forms of entertainment to encourage at
tendance. have increased SO that now
the furnishing of food for the little ones
is the principal Item. In the department
of the Seine alone thousands of warm
meals were served to the children of
the schools In the first year of the
experiment and in 1sS4-s5 fifteen school
"canteens provided by the authorities
dispensed no less than 1,110,S27 portions.
One-third of these were helping of soup,
another third meat and the rest vegeta-
bles. The children. where they were
able, had to pay for their meals, and
there was contributed in this way 36,776
francs for 736526 of these helpings. There
was no payment for s74,SO1 helpings. The
total cost was SO. 264 francs (S11,S52)
Since then the system has spread and
grown, and the authorities have been
able to provide a better meal for less
money now that they can count on large
quantity. The average cost of meal
of meat, vegeta Bile and soup Is only 3
cents. With this. too. Is given bottle
of wine when desired that costs only
cents, vet 1t is wholesome.
From the very first the greatest care
has been taken not to allow any loss of
dignity to arise from the free feeding.
The fundamental principle of the whole
management Is the absolute innocence of
the children. They cannot be expected to
pay. Their parents may be at fault;
II so, there is only the greater reason
to shelter the children and to try to
preserve them that sense of self respect
which might so easily be wrecked by
their parents bad conduct. Each child
is called upon to pay cents a day for
his meal and receives in exchange
check or ticket. Some times this pay
ment is effected in a small office. one
child entering at a time. All receive a
ticket for their dinner and only the per-
son who gives the ticket knows who
has paid and who has not. The parents
of those who do not pay are visited. A
full inquiry is made as to their condi-
ton, and IL they are poor they are
put on the free list.

Ghosts Fooled Many.

81 was much amused at the humorous
mistakes made by the Birmingham peo-
pie in regard to Ghosts, the Ibsen drama
that was presented here Thursday and
Friday said a man about town. quite
a number of people went to the theatre
with the expectation of seeing a spectac-
ular production about three times as
weird as the famous 'Brocken scene In
Pause. When two or three persons came
out on the stage and proceeded to quietly
talk their way through the first act,
without ripple of excitement, with no
colored lights, no red fire, no hobgoblns
and no attractively gowned fairies, the
CONSERVATION and amazement of the ex-
pectant ones can well be imagined. You
may be sure that they were a woefully
disappointed lot, for the artistic perform
ance of Ghosts was not what they
wanted. They did not care to study, they
wanted to see some real thaumaturgy.
1.-The plight of these people is rather
amusing, and should Henrik Ibsen ever
find it out the great dramatist would no
doubt feel very sad that he is so little
known by some individuals. Ghosts is
not the show for Birmingham, although
l am happy to say that most of the
people who went to see the play this time
knew what to expect and were able to
appreciate the performance"

o! HAD WE SOME ISLE.

By Moore.
o! had we some bright little isle of our
own
In a blue summer ocean. far on and
alone
Where a leaf never dies in the still bloom
ing bowers,
And the bee banquets on through whole
year of flowers;
Where the sun loves to pause
With so fond a delay
That the night only draws
A thin veil over the day;
Where simply to feel that we breathe;
that we live.
Is worth the best joy that life elsewhere
can give.
There with souls ever ardent and pure
as the cline,
We should love as they loved in the first
golden time;
The glow of the sunshine, the balm OF
the air
Would steal to our hearts and make all
summer there.
With affection as free
From decline as the bowers,
And with hope. like the bee
Living always on flowers,
Our life should resemble a long day Of
light,
And our death come on holy and calm az
the night.

supreme court and has been declared
valid.
Sixteen thousand negroes of that
state were fully qualified and regis

5000 went to the polls and cast their
votes. Just why these qualified negroes
failed to exercise their right of fran
chise does not seem to be plainly
understood Certain it is that not
single case can be pointed out, since
the new constitution of Mississippi

violent measures of any sort we're re-
sorted to for the purpose of preventing
negroes from voting.
OF course the Mississippi negro Is
barred from the democratic primaries,
but then the Mississippi negro is not

Come Ibis Mo-.

The year 1905 ought to be the ban
ner year in' the matter of Industrial
development In the SOUTH and the
i'.dications are that it will be. The
way to bring this about is to open
wide the gates and turn the tide of
immigration in this direction.
The railroad industrial agents who
held their meeting in Birmingham a
few days ago fully appreciate the ne
cessity for stronger movements along
this line, and they promise to labor
even more strenuously than ever to
induce worthy immigrants to come
south and take advantage of the splen-
did opportunities that are here pre-
sented.
No state In the union presents a
better field for the industrious laborer
and the homeseeker than does Ala
bama. Here can be found soil, climate,
minerals and timber, awaiting the
hand of industry. Here social condi-
lions are attractive, and political up
roars have fully ceased, if indeed they
ever existed to an annoying degree.
Nature has done everything for Ala
bama to make here a basis of wealth
and happiness. Now 1t is for the peo-
pie who are interested in the future
of the state to be up and doing in the
matter of material development In all
of the United States the spirit of new
era is abroad, and there is intense act
ivity manifest In every phase of life.
Our section is astir. Let Alabama be
up and doing in the front line of the
procession. This is new day. The
old humdrum days have passed away.
The railroad land and industrial
agents, who have really thus far done
practically all that has been done for
the cause of immigration, deserve all
credit, for their great work of devel-
opment. They should be met half
way at least by the people of this
state, who are to become benefciaries
In a large measure of an inflow of in
dustrious laborers, who are to become
permanent settlers.

Presbyterian Activity.

The Rev. ]. w. Orr. pastor of the First
Presbyterian church at Ensley has re-
turned from the annual session of the
Alabama synod, which has been In ses-
sion at Admission, and speaks iterestingly
of the work accomplished at the meeting.
He said:
"A site was purchased for our college
en- Tyler hill at Admission where the new
institution Is to established. The hill is
enc of the most BEAUTIFUL places In the
state. Work will re begun on the build
ings at once and 1t is hoped by the truss
tees that the doors of the college can be
thrown open by the beginning of the next
collegiate year. The synod was very en-
thusiastic over the prospects of the coll
lege and it will start out with happy
future before it.
at was also shown that the state COL
leg for women which is controlled by the
synod is doing excellent work The or
phanage home at Talladega received at
tention and it was decided to enlarge
that institution so that it's capacity for
the accommodation of orphans will be
increased one-third."

there be much longer made the scare OF

at last begun to think and to think can

party will be the gamer by this insured
fermentation. Nor do we care. Parties
are instruments. not fetiches They are
opportunities. not obligations. They are
tools, not idols. The thing to be glad Of
Is that the south is awake.
