 .Mobilans should bear in mind that such a port could never rival 1t in size or be any other than the mere port of Mobile. Newport News is the port of Richmond, Bremerhaven of Bremen. Cuxhaven of Hamburg, St Nasaire of Nantes; all lie Between those great ports and the sea, and so far from detracting from their prosperity, have been of the greatest benefit to them. Ali of those ports are in fact, large towns. whereas Dauphin island is too small in area for even small town. So far from being regarded with unfriendliness, it should be accorded. and, 1t is sincerely hoped will yet receive, the cordial support of all the strong. conservative business men of Mobile.
 Upon this point I cannot do better than repeat the eloquent words of Mayor Drennea in his interview indorsing the Dauphin island project in The Age-Her- aid of yesterday. Here is what MT. Drennen said:
 .In these days of close inter r-communi- cation between various sections of the state, our people should recognize what is best for the whole state, for the whole south and for the whole country is best for every constituent part of 1t. Mobil-

PAUL MORTON'.S VIEWS.

Paul Morton, secretary OF the navy, SAYS he
is in favor of government supervision of the
railroads, provided they are allowed 10 pool,
legally. He says he believes that one of three
things is sure to take place in the conduct of
our railway system:
I. Legalization OF pools-the right of rail-
roads to make enforcible contracts between
themselves as to division of earnings, so that
they can resist the temptation of big shippers,
and be assured of fair share of the business
moving at stable rates which shall apply alike
to all patrons. This will not cure all the evils,
but will 60 long way IN bringing about bet
ter condition of affairs.
2. The furthe uni6cation of ownership, there
by delivering, in tme the entire railway own
ership of the country into the hands of a few
individuals or one syndicate. This condition
has already been hurried and helped along by
the absence of pooling, aud, while am one of
those who believe it will not be calamity if
all the roads of the United States could be
owned by one syndicate, provided they could
be managed purely and simply as railroad
proposition, 1 have grave doubts that this is
practicable, and fear that so much concentrat-
ed power would be misused, which might re-
suit in
3. Government ownership, the worst of the
three "evils," if such they may be called.
Government owuershid of railroads would be
the beginning of industrial and political chaos.
Being railroad official as we'll as member
of President Rcosevet's cabinet, Mr.. Morton
could hardly be expected to take any other
view of the situation. But his views do not
fully coincide with the views of the masses,
who are rapidly imbibing the government
ownership idea. They are learning that the
government cannot control an industry it does
not own. This has been tried many times, but
has never proved success. Large corpora
tions employ the best legal talent, and their
attorneys almost invariably find way to evade
the law. Government ownership is the only
solution of this problem.

CORRUPTION CONTINUES IN MISSOURI.

Missouri is all torn up over the senatorial
situation. AS was stated last week. Thomas
K. Neidringhaus was selected as the Republican
candidate for United States senator to succeed
Cockrell. Everything seemed to indicate Mr..
Neidringhaus' election, for few days, but it
was finally discovered that Neidringhaus was
implicated in Doodle scheme, and that many
thousands of dollars were spent to carry the
state for the Republican ticket. Neidringhaus
was directly connected with campaign fund
of $21 GOO, of which at least half was contrib
uted by Adolphus Busch, the millionaire brewer.
A senate investigation was ordered which
has been in progress several days. This in.
vestigation has brought out the fact that Mr..
Busch gave a dinner at his residence, in St.
Louis, during the recent campaign, at which
Senator Fairbanks and Mr.. Neidringhaus were
guests At this dinner, Mr.. Neidinghaus said
that if he had fund of $25 ,ooo he could cal.
ry Missouri for Roosevelt and Fairbanks but
that it could not be Gone without the money.
To make long story short, the investigation
proves that $21 900 was raised and Missouri
went for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. 1t also
shows that Neidrnghaus was mixed up in the

Of Westphalia, who has been in charge

where the explosion took place. The

the windows on the north side of the
room. which were shattered by the en-
plosion. MIR Carey tells this story, in
substance: Miss Mustard said she was
almost scared to death, but she didn't
faint or make an cutlery, but remained
at her post" She 'phoned to Mr.. Carey
and told him the town was blown up,
and for him to hurry to the office. Mr..
Carey told her he was too far away to
get there soon, and she should phone
to some one nearer-anyone. So she
'phoned to several persons and Howard
Herman happened to catch the mes
sage, and ran to her assistance. Gail
Carey followed soon after. Howard
saws he don't know how he got into
the office, but the fact is, the glass had
been blown out of the door, and he
went through the hole without stopping
to open the door. In the meantime,
Miss Mustard remained at work, send
ing messages here and there until help
arrived. Part of the time she was liter
ally covered with broken glass and 9th
err debris She is certainly heroine, as
her position was very irving on the
nerves. Few men would have done as
we'll as she did. When help arrived, she
went to her boarding place and went to
bed.
