For An August Primary.

selma journal.
 The Journal believes that the best in terest of the Democratic Party, can De subserred by holding tine coming prl- mary election for the selection or state officers on the first Monday in August- Certainly not sooner. It may not sub serve the interest of either candldate for Governor or for the other off1ces. But the party is of vastly more im- portance than, those seeking Iasors ns,a,. as mistaken if tho State Executive Com. mittee does not take the same view or the situation.
 the Committee. has outlined very clear ly the main objection for holding the primary at an earlier date than August, It is that some five thousand young men that have become of age since Npvem- Der, 1904, will not be permitted to take part in the selection of the candidate they will be expected to vote for in November, 1906. If the primary is held before the registration books are opened in July.
 The argument that young men are becoming of age every day or that cry day, that is put forth as an offset to the objection, is pueri1e in the ex- treme. It is not the question or the number of young men who will become of age between say April or May and August. If that were the case 1t would he different. But it is to give young man who will be about B years Of age Vi NONeUlDeT, lSuD, dH " participating in the primary which will select those for whom he will be ex- pected to vote.
 Think of it. A young man who be- came 21 years of age, say November 15, 1904, who is over 22 years of age now and who will be about four or five months older yet in April, will not be allowed to vote in the Democratic pri- mary and yet he must pay his poll tax before February of this year or dis franchise himself for the election next November.
 Again, there have been many changes of residences from county to county and such persons will have to register in the new counties to which they have gone. If an opportunity is not given them to register there will be endless confusion.
 Still another reason for a primary in the summer is the fact that the. farm CTS will have then completed their crop work and will be waiting for picking time and can therefore give more time to those duties incumbent upon every citizen. ,-
 By all means let the State Executive Committee take into consideration these things and not permit the pres sure to be brought by candidates to in- fuence them to name any date for the primary before the first Monday in August.

National Banks.

ouH.
 The multiplication of national banks in the South since 1880 is one of many proofs of the rapidly increasing com mercial activity and wealth of that part of the country. Twenty-Five years ago there were in the South. from Maryland to Texas, but 220 national banks. In 1905 the number is 1.221! In the period under notice the capital of Southern national banks has increased from sf5,- 59S,000 to s126,037.000: surplus from ss.000.ooO to s5o,e57 900. deposits from number of banks has occurred chiefly since the act of March, 1900. authorized banks with less than $50.000 of capital. Texas. for example. had in 1900 but 20 national banks: her present number is 40. Virginia has increased her num- Der from 43 to S5.
 The Comptroller. in his report, dwells upon the comparative safety Of national banks There are banks and banks. and in some States they are more close ly looked after than in others. It is so far organized, 460 have failed. or 1-2 per cent. of the whole number, as against IT 1-2 per cent. of banks other than national. Those national banks that failed have paid their creditors IS per cent of the amount due. while oth- = CT banks have paid 45 per cent or the billions intrusted to the national banks, but $32,000,000 has been lost :: State and private banks number at S748.263.149 of capital and $S,oO2,662,, :, S22 of deposits. Including national banks, the whole number in the United States and island possessions is 19:slO. with S1539,SSO,3 of capital and $l1,- li7S6321,3 of deposits.

Board of Health of Louisiana. We shall be blamed for paying attention to this charge Dr. Lindsley got into Mo- bile jail, under due process of law, for previous ill-considered statements; and the public knows pretty we'll how to gauge him. Nevertheless. as there may be persons who are impressed by his title of doctor. and his office of President of the International Quarantine Bureau, an organization that seems to be com posed chiefly of the doctor himself, we wish to say that the one thing that has been demonstrated is that the Aiabama health authorities strictly enforced the regulations of the United States Marine Hospital Service in the matter of pro- tecting this port from the invasion or yellow fever, and that they protested with effect against the laxity observed in the New Orleans quarantine. Un- fortunately the protest came too late, although it was made as soon as the laxity was discovered. The Alabama authorities had no more to do with letting yellow fever into New Orleans than had Dr. Lindsley himself. and we presume he will say that he had noth- ing to do with it whatever.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER as, 1905.

The newspapers and other competent critics are having moro or less amuse- mcnt at the expense of the painter, Blashfield, who has just finished large painting for the Iowa capitol building, in which Ee shows man driving yoke of oxen. with the man walking on the wrong side of the oxen. He tries to explain 1t by saying 1t was an arr tistic necessity to thus reverse the po- sitions of oxen and driver. but he might have given the same excuse If hS had painted his animals with horses tails instead of their own kind. His cxpianation is as bad as his blunder.
 But Blashfield Is not the first artist who has ignored facts in his work. We ~ace saw on exhibition in this city a handsome painting of a barefooted girl with the hollow of each foot on the same side of the figure, and we have more than once seen pictures of the COW and the milkmaid with the maid sitting on the wrong side of the COW.
 This failure of artists to observe strict accuracy of detail in painting rural scenes reminds us of an actual occurrence in the career of Sir Edwin Landseer, one of the most famous anil maj painters of modern times. He had painted a fine picture representing a SOW and her brood drinking from a trough. and the work was on exhibi- tion. Happening in the room one day he noticed an old farmer standing, with his whip under his arm, viewing the picture with very dissatisfied express sion on his face. Thinking to have some amusement with his rural critic, Sir Edwin asked him what he thought of the picture. Well" said the farm or, its mighty. purity, but 'tain't made nat'ral,' Whats, wrong?" asked the great painter. Its jest this" was the reply; nobody has ever seen that many pigs drinKin' cut of trough thout some of 'em havin' their feet in it."
 The yokel was correct. and the great est artist of his time had neglected point which a thorough Knowledge of rural affairs and a careful observance of details would have prevented his missing. Thus Blashfield, in his anxie- ty to produce artistic effects, was guilty of a really ridiculous blunder which every countryman. at least, will notice and comment on. The commission appointed to pass on the work has &C., cented the picture and the explanation, but the people generally, who know all about oxen and drivers. want the pie tuTe rejected. aud they have good gFound for their contention.

THE NEW ENGINE.

The experimental voyage of the steamship Carmania. equipped with tur- bine engines. which has just crossed the needed impetus to revolution in ship building-a revolution which in our judgment has been too long delayed It is true that this is not the first time that the new styl. of engines have been tried. but it appears to be the first real success in this direction.
 To a mechanic or engineer familiar with the control of water power it is not so difficult to explain the new en- zine. In the old days of water mills the huge, cumbrous and power-wasting svershot whel was The favorite where there was high fall and compara- lively scant supply of w;ter. If tha fall was but slight and the water plen- tiful the undershot wheel was often used and in other cases the tub wheel came into service. It is only within a conrparatively recent period that the turbine wheel came on the scene, and they have largely supplanted all other wheels for driving machinery by water power. Of course there arc many forms of the wheel. but all so on the general theory of producing power by the reaction of water passing through curved or spiral buckets in tho wheel This .eference to water whe's Is nec- essary in order to understand the ap- plication of the turbine principle to vessels. In the language of Tho New York Post we have only to imagine stationary cylinder within which is drum whose sides as well as tho in- terior of the cylinder are covered with alternating rows of blades. On the drum of a big ship there are over 2,- 500. 900 of them. The drum Is attached to a shaft at the end of which is the propellcr. The steam enters the cylin- der at one end and escapes from the other. Tn passing it plays on the blades and revolves the drum with great rapidity, which turns the pro peller. Such, in simple phraseology. IS the turbine. There are no pistons. ec- centrics, or connecting rods. which on reciprocating engines are necessary to convert direct motion into rotary; no packing rings or stuffing boxes to stop leap of steam. When the steam escapes from the drum after passing through the rows of blades 1t Is forced into the condenser and from there goes back to the boiler in the form of feed water.
 This gives a brief idea of what the new invention is, and the advantages claimed for 1t are several and definite One is the increased economy in steam consumption and the consequent de- crease in amount of Fuel. Another claim which appears to be we'll found' ed is that increased speed will be ob. tained. and this Is no small considera- ton in this day of competition and ri- valry among ocean steamers. Still an other advantage is the complete ab' sence of vibration. which passengers will heartily appreciate. and which will materially reduce the item of repairs E. There are various other advantages mentioned, some of which may not be realized on fuller experience, but there seems no room for doubt that great and desirable advance has been made in power for ships. and that the new form of engine. is destined to supplant pall others.

COmnlissiOn's Rate Found UnrcasOn- sOnable.


 One of our exchanges says:
 Judge Bethea's recent decision in the United States Circuit Court at Chi cago by which he dismissed an order sion to compel the railroad carrying live stock between the Missouri River and Chicago to lower their rates, IS or great interest not only to cattle ship pers, but to all persons interested Tn the question of rate regulation. The judge found as fact that the rates in controversy are reasonable Tn them. '. selves and were made as the result or competition between the twenty rail roads interested. He also round mat it costs more to carry live stock than dressed beef. It Is estimated that 1T the Commission had had the power 10 enforce it's order last January Gas un, der the Esch- Townsend bill 1t would have had), the loss to the railroads to traffic to Chicago would have aggre- gated at least a million and half dol lars. This amount represents the diff ference between the rates on live stock which Judge Bethea held were reason able and the rates which they would have charged had the order of the Commission been in. effect r.,,.,. the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul Railway Company, who. with Frank R.. Kellogg of the Chicago Great Western Company. argued the case before the Interstate Commerce Commission, says:
 This case illustrates the i'm
 justice of a law which would com
 pei the railways to comply with
 an order of the Commission reduc-
 ing their rates. pending judicial
 review. There is no more reason
 or justice in having an order of
 the Commission go into effect at
 once, pending appeal to the courts,
 than that litigants should be
 compelled to pay Judgments
 against them as condition of
 their right to have such judg-
 ments reviewed by appellate courts.
 There does not appear to be any
 good reason why shippers should
 be placed in q more favorable posi-
 tion in the courts than other liti-
 sgants.
 Especial attention is also being called to the fact that the rate decreed by the Commission was an unreasonable one; and the query it, If the Commits sion's own rates are not reasonable rates, how can il be trusted to decide whether the rates made by the rail- roads, themselves are reasonable or not?" The general opinion among those interested, is that Judge Bethea's decision is the most important evidence vet seen of the ineXpediency of putting more power into the hands of a body which seems not able to properly exer- else the power it already has.
