 The Japanese as we know. are physi | cally more enduring and more abstemious than most of the western races. They can undergo more fatigue and sustain life on less food. They are less Subject to intoxication. Their civilization is sur- rounded by smaller fringe of human wreckage.

 These qualities belong also to the Chi nese, who are deemed, indeed, the supe- rior race, and who comprise a population as numerous as all of Europe Their awakening may be deferred, but cannot and should not be prevented. The Occi- dent will have much to do with the Orient in the future, much to learn for its own good. It might as well begin learning now.

Governor JeIks Commented.

From the Montgomery Times.
 Governor Jelks is to be highly com mended for the caution he has shown through his whole administration to pre- vent the lynching of negroes. He has not hesitated to use every means at the command of the state to forestall law lessness of this character, and to put forth every effort toward punishing all who do thus violate the laws. His in- structions0 Sheriff Stevenson of Law renee county on yesterday to see that the negro Frank Daniels, wanted for killing Former Tax Collector Wright at Leigh ton, is protected from a mob, if caught is in line with the very wholesome pol icy he has habitually maintained. The stand taken by the governor has had good effect; the habit of lynchng is growing less in Alabama all the time.

Saved the Professors Life.

A Texas man, while sitting in the lobby of the Morris last night, told an interest," ing story of T. V. Boardmans student days at the University of Texas, situated at Austin, Tex.
 Tn 1895 or 1S96." said he, i've had in the university an Alabama man named Boardman-T. V. Boardman of Greens boro, this state. Boardman was exceed ingly fond of athletes, and made 1t rule to accompany the teams on their trips out of town.
 'We went over to San Antonio one day in the fall to play a game of football with a rival team there. Professor winston who was at that time president of the university, accompanied the team After the game was over party Of students were standing with President Winston in front of restaurant in San Antonio. Suddenly a man rushed out or the res taurant. revolver in hand.

The outfieIders.

'I cannot understand what was the matter with the Baron outfielders in the game this afternoon" said fan yes terday. When Hennessy, Miller and Smith all drop flies it is nothing short of day off with them all.
 'It was unfortunate that Miller and Smith dropped flies yesterday, for had they hung on to the balls the Barons would have been within seven points Of New Orleans, with every prospect of going ahead of them. As it is now the Barons will have to win both games Friday af- ternoon in the double header, and New Orleans will have to lose for the Barons to make it close.''

commercial and industrial city lying on an inland sea.
 The raising of the red flag on the battleship Kniaz Potemkine may have sprung up suddenly on account of the protest of poor Omilchuk against the soup supplied to the fleet under the bureaucratic system-a system that in- wolves graft at every possible point; but then again it may be disclosed that the mutiny goes much deeper. and that those on board the battleship are acting with others on the land or on the other warships in the Black sea. The latter hypothesis is the more prob. able.
 It should be remembered that the Black sea Is isolated. Under the terms of the Berlin treaty it's warships can not go out of that sea. The Darda- nelles are closed against them, and Turkey is on the narrow strait ready to enforce the Berlin treaty. The na- tions that signed the treaty are mor- ally bound to uphold Turkey.
 The incident at Odessa at least serves to show anew the collapsing condition of the autocratic system. It is as inefficient as it is rotten. It stands condemned, on the point of col lapse. Its army is well-nigh as worth less as it's navy. Both must be rebuilt on new lines, and the first task in sight consists in the abolition of the autocratc system, and this is what the red flag playing in and dominating the harbor of busy, populous Odessa means The autocracy must go.

Clean Birmingham.

q am heartily in favor of Mayor Ward g Clean Birmingham policy remarked a citizen last night. "It is a good move mnet and should meet with the approval of every good citizen. But why would it not be a good idea for our Mayor to is- sue Clean Birmingham proclamation? The Mayor of Denver recently issued a document of this kind and he offered the following timely propositions to the cit izens:
 If your store front, residence or fence is dull or dingy, order 1t painted.
 If your awning Is old, torn or faded, get a new one.
 If your sidewalk, fence or gate needs repairing, fix it.
 Destroy the young weeds that are start ing on your property and on your neigh bors property,
 If your advertising sign is old or faded. take it down or paint 1t.
 Resolve never to throw paper in the streets.
 Take all dandelions out of your lawn they spoil it's beauty.
 Burn all the rubbish possible-allow no one to throw it on the streets, alleys or vacant lots.
 Promise not to spit on the sidewalk.
 Organize a block improvement society, and allow no weeds to grow on sidewalk. area or vacant property in your block. Ask your milkman. groceryman and ex- pressman to have their wagons painted
 Irrespective of the size of your house make your lawn the finest.
 Illuminate the front of your store in the business section.
 Every effort put forth or dollars spent to improve our city's appearance will be returned two fold.

pany, VS.. the Seaboard Air Line, which
is an appeal from the Corporation

life; that, in fact, the road would
save money by placing the siding but
that its desire to prevent accidents

to show that the place was not dan
gerous and that the road had formerly
maintained a siding at the point spec
