DISTURBING PREDICTIONS.

The esteemed Poultney Bigelow has broken loose again. Poult is an au- thor and a traveller, geog.apher and a scientist, and almost any old thing one could ask or expect man to be. He, also, sees a peril, but unlike most of them 1t Is not of the yellow brand. He can hardly be expected to see things just as all others see them, for If thers Is one thing he is strong on, 1t Is his hold on originality.
 According to Poultney the people of the Old World have named us The American Peril" He declares in ital- les and capitals that "the United States is rushing into war with another na- tion." He has promised not to tell what nation 1t is, doubtless because his telling would "let slip the dogs of war" and flood the universe with un- limited red gore. It is very kind and considerate In Poultney to keep the lid on till everything is ready for the cataclysm. However. although he is kindly holding his tongue, he assures Us that "the war is sure to come and we VIII live to St6 u. II bS WUGAN AsA the exact date. it would relieve the ten- sion to some extent, but he doesn't do that. He adds this dire bit of infor- nation, however: All Europe is armed and arming, and they keep their sharp est eye turned towards the United States in the midst of all the prepara- tions they are making"
 Now, we call this downright discour- aging. Just when we thought Russian and Jap were going to kiss and make up. when we could almost see the dove of peace lowering over the war-cursed earth, and when we were beginning to hope that even our strenuous President was cooling off and preparing to let things go easy, here comes Poultney with the intimation that all creation is getting ready to swoop down on us and put Uncle Sam in the hospital for keeps. It isn't fair to disturb us Tn any such manner. Poultney should be bound over to keep the peace,

NAN NOT TO BLAME.

Some of our contemporaries are find ing large cargoes of consolation in the repudiation by the public of Nan Pat terson as a theatrical star. One of them, the name of which we have mis- laid, says: Tt speaks well for the status of morality and a reviving sense of the obligations of the theater to the public that Miss Patterson is denied the right to exhibit herself before the nor bid and degenerate men and women who would pay to see her. If the tone of theatrical performers and theatrical performances is to be raised, 1t Is clear that 1t must come from the self-re- specting and healthy-minded patrons themselves. Assuredly we cannot look for reform among the mountebanks and charlatans who seek this outlet for self exploitation in a profession that should be held to its high traditions as assurpassing art and whose best opponents are first of all decent and worthy men and women."
 Assuredly it would have been better if Nan had kept off the stage and re- mained in quiet privacy. for q time, at least Whether she did or did not kill Young, the unsnviable notorie ty she received was uf the kind which should have kept any good and modest woman off the public stage. but sho is evidently not that kind. She was of the opinion that the very notoriety which would have been distasteful to most women was just the thing to boost her as an actress and bring the great public en masse to see her perform ances.
 After a1- had she not pretty good many women, both foreign and Amer | ican, with badly smirched regulations. occupying the front of the stage, and has seen all classes of theatre goers, from the highest to the lowest. crowd l ing the theatres to see and hear the latest attractions. Some of these stars had regulations as unsavory as Mans. except as to the suspicion of murder, and she is not to be blamed for think ing that the people would patronise her as they do those who have no right to scorn her.
 When we come down to the real truth we must admit that the public is chief ly to blame for her re-appearance on the stage. If good people would refuse to attend performances where the stars are women of doubtful reputation, if nothing worse. women like Nah would not look on the stage as their proper sphere. It is to some extent encourage ing to know that the public has Tepu- diated her, and taught her that her place is a private one. but let us not put all the blame on her. Give the pub lie It's due share for the belief which caused her to 80 on the stage. even if that public now turns its back on her.

nrsouncrs OF JAPAN.

There seems to have been a broad error extant as to the military re- sources of Japan. When the war be- gan. we all know that 1t was, custom ary to speak of the two powers as the great and the small nations. It was generally considered that the resources ss of Russia, both in men and materials of warfare, were practically unlimited. At least 1t was the belief that Japan was comparatively a pismy in these respects. It was a dwarf agains- giant. was the opinion of outsiders.
 Evidently the world was badly mis- taken ,or misinformed, as to Japan. at least. Recently statement was given out by a member of the War ofice at Tokio, which contained the following: What Japan is really capable of in the way of putting men in the field. is not fully realized by foreigners. An emi- nent German authority affirmed re- gently that 1t was physically impos- sible for Japan to put in the field more than 350.000 men of all arms. It Is true that prior to 1896 the standing army of Japan was S0.0o0 in time of peace and 270.000 on war footing. But the scheme of expansion begun in 1s35 and completed this year brought the war establishment up to 56o,o0o, while the special ordinances of 1904 and 1905 make 1t certain that if the war con- tinues Japan will be found ultimately with at least 100000 men In the field and full competence to maintain that number"
 We have no means of knowing whether this statement is exaggerated or not. We hardly see how better au- thority could be found, and if these figures are correct, Japan has little to fear from outsiders. As The Indian apolis Star sees 1t, "Japan's credit is higher now than ever before, her in- ternal affairs are in better condition, her trade showed a tremendous in- crease last year notwithstanding the war, her people are still as sacrificial as when the war began and, all in all, the prospect is that Japan is not talk ing merely for effect when she says that she is in no hurry to bring the war to an end. She is so completely the master of the situation that sooner or later 1t looks as though Russia would have to pay the larger part of the sal- ary of the fiddler for the grim death dance that has now been going on for more than a year."

COTTON INSECTS.
Department of Agriculture Issues Some
 Instructions.

Instructions.
 Washington, June 9.-(Special, IA new cotton publication was issued to- day by the Department of Agriculture under the caption "Miscelian eous cot ton Insects in Texas" After exten- sively treating the subject 1t concludes as follows:
 Tt will have been observed that most of the cotton insect enemies Of cotton naturally feed upon various common weeds which grow up in neg lected or uncultivated fields and that by the destruction of such weeds and winter blowing where they have grown, the insects inhabiting them will be largely controlled. The thor ough cultivation during the late fall. winter and early spring of all land to be planted Or which has been infested will also be the means of greatly re- ducing their numbers by killing many of the stages then Alternating in the soil. These two general principles must be relied upon to a large extent for the control of most of the minor cotton insects. When they become over-abundant those leaf-eaters which chew their food may be poisoned with paris green or other arsenicals used as a dust or made into a mash with bran.
 More intensive cultivation will un- doubtedly result in a material lessen- ing of injury by these pests, for in the Eastern cotton growing States they are by no means as injurious as in Texas, so far as the records indicate. The better methods of cotton culture generally recommended by this De- partment during the past few years will undoubtedly result in the lessen ing of injury by all the more common cotton insects"

 Washington, June g. Careful investigation fails to find any responsible basis for the story sent from here that an effort was brewing among Democrats to defeat John Sharp Williams for reelection as minority leader of the House. There have not been, all told, score of House Democrats here since Con- Gress adjourned There are now in the city only four, Livingston of Georgia, Never of Louisiana, Burleson of Texas and Sims of Tennessee. The three last named are staunch friends of Mir. Will Hams.
 The story had 1t that an effort would he made to use DeArmond of Missouri against MT. Williams. Another had 1t that MT. Hay, of Virginia, was at the bottom of it. MT. Hay is not here, but A Virginia friend of his today said the story was absurd.

Libraries for schools.

Dr. Thomas M. owen, President of the Alabama Library Association, yes- terday expressed his gratihcation over the formal announcement of the gift of Andrew Carnegie for a library building at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute In Auburn.
 President Thach, of the Institute Is to be congratulated and doubtless will be congratulated by thousands of friends of the Institute throughout the State,'' said Dr. Owen. The alumni of Auburn should rally to his assist ance and contribute largely to the fund to aid him In meeting the condi- tions of Mr. Carnegie's gift.
 More interest is being manifested than ever before by colleges and col lcge men as we'll as teachers in library work. The library Is now regarded in atory equipment of all educational in- stitutions. This interest in libraries and library work augurs well for the future of our section"

FARMERS WORKING HARD.
Taking Advantage of Good Weather
 to Destroy Grass.

Demopolis. June s.-(Special. )--The good weather during the past ten days has been most advantageous to farm CTS, and work has been pushed on every farm in the County. Labor has been somewhat scarce all the year. and has added to the gloom cast over many planters by the continued rains A few weeks ago. 1t is estimated that fully 50 per cent of acreage in cotton has been partially cleared of grass. and all available labor Is being used by every one. Cotton blooms lwere re- ported this week by c. D. Collins on his farm near Van Dorn.
