 The decision Is all the more to be ap- piauded because British public senti- ment IS even more radical as to race equality than that of New England. and because the suffrage has been granted to negroes in various parts of the em- pire (under very strict conditions, how ever, even stricter than those we re- quire in Louisiana). The British Con- stitution does not recognize color or race as bar to the suffrage. hence the provision refusing the ballot to the ne- groes in the Transvaa1 will have to re- ceive the approval of Parliament be- Tore 1t can become operative There does not. however, seem much likeli- hood of an opposition. England has seen too well the evils of the race ques- ton, born in this country of the four teenth and fifteenth amendments. to want to introduce 1t in South Africa, where 1t would weaken British rule if not destroy the country.

Of this phase of the case The Memphis News-ecimitar takes q rather peculiar view. It says:
 Yet there is another view to take of this. No matter how evil Bigelow may be, he is entitled to credit for every good word he said. every noble and uplifting idea he has advanced. When Bigelow made the speech so full of hign ideals only last fall: he was al knows but that in deep contrition he manifested repentance by preaching a doctrine better than the life he was leading, and by admonishing others to be what he was not.
 That. we repeat, is a peculiar view to take and one that we do not believe will be generally endorsed. People do not love or admire a hypocrite--at least good people do not The News-Scimi- tar admits that when he was uttering his high sounding phrases and putt ting forth his elevated code of moral ethics he was criminal, 'hopelessly entangled" by using money that did not belong to him. We'll we do not fall in with the idea that he is en- titled to credit for his words. Fipe precepts are good, but as old pr. Johnson puts 1t, Examples are always more efficacious than precepts."

Chattanooga Times.
 A great tummt has been created Tn Boston town because the government has had painted on the remodeled train ing ship Hartford, the famous order of it's former daring intrepid com mander, Admiral Farragut. given at Mobile, during the Civil War Damn the torpedoes; go ahead" As Boston didn't produce Farragut or any other very great soldier or naval commander, 1t looks very much like case of gratuitous butt in" in this matter. That's what Farragut said-and after all it wasn't such a bad legend to hold before the coming. naval heroes. Boys are not corrupted by things of that sort; they get their lessons of pro- fanity and dissipation from another school. If our sailor lads never say anything worse than damn and then not until they get in as close a place as Farragut was at Mobile. then will the majority of them close their lives with lips unstalned with oaths.

There was a vacancy in the office of United States Senator from Connecti- put, caused by the death of Senator Plat, and The Hartford Courant got worked up over the matter. '"rhis is no ordinary crisis" it de- clares, and to read its double -leaded editorial one might think the fate of the country depends on the kind of man selected to fill the vacancy. The feeling was principally confined to Connecticut, we've no doubt. The man chosen is a very poor substitute for the late Senator Platt.

Saturday Half Holiday.

''The rule employed by the majority of big merchandise establishments in the cities of closing their offices and stores at 12 o'clock on Saturday should be adopted in Montgomery" said a business man yesterday, As proprietor of my establishment. I would be will ing to close my store if other merchants of similar class would do so. It's good deal harder than you suppose for a man to work day In and day out put for Tor a week with only bit of recreation on Sunday. and I believe 1t would be bet ter for employer and employe to close the stores at noon on Saturday.
 When the crowds begin to pass by on the cars in the afternoon going to the door and .gloomily watch them them pass. When they do return to their work. the expressions on their faces suggest that their minds are fiiIed ,Hdtn with same crowds return with the final score and tell about the game, those clerks are nervous.

Archie Roosevelt

Archie Roosevelt, the nine year OLD
son of the President of the United
States, and in a way, the most ener-
getic of all the Roosevelt boys, has
developed an ambition to enter the
navy, says American Boy. This sud
den longing on Archie's part TO serve
on one of Uncle Sans sea fighters Is
possibly due in some measure to the
fact that his parents recently present
ed him with very handsome sailor
suit, but it may also be accounted for
10 some extent by the fact that Archie
has now arrived at an age where he
takes keen interest in the exploits
of some of his ancestors, who were
warriors of the ocean. Finally, Ar
chie's uncle, Captain Cowles-the hus
band OF the Presidents sister-has
lately been ordered to sea to command
one of our new battleships, and conse-
qIently there has been much talk OF
he navy and its affairs in the Roose-
welt family circle.
1t would, indeed, be by no means
strange should Archibald's present en-.
thusiasm be the forerunner of a seri-
Gus bent for naval career. His IA
ther. the President, has always taken
the keenest interest in everything ap-
pertaining to the American navy.
When barely out of college, he wrote
his famous history of the naval war
of 1912, and all boys know how, as
assistant secretary of the navy just
prior to the Spanish American war, he
made preparations for that conflict,
among other things arguing, pleading
and almost quar-eling to get for Ad-
mival Dewey the ammunition that
made possible the victory Of Manila
Bay.
To go back farther in the Roosevelt
sailor record it may be noted that in
1911 the great grandfather of Archie
Roosevelt built at Pittsburg the first
steamer that ever navigated the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers. Two of the
lads great-uncles we're in the confed
crate navy during the Civil War. One
former officer in the United States
navy, was a captain in the confederate
service and conducted the pioneer
blockade-running expedition wherein
Il swift steamer slipped past the Union
war vessels in the night and carried
arms and ammunition to the confeder
ate army. Later this same officer ere
