President RosseveIt's Visit.

The President not only has the courage of his convictions, but also of his pre-existing engagements. Be- fore the fever made itself felt in New Orleans he had said that in D atober he would visit that city, and he proposes to keep that engagement. He will keep it, and all the men who wag their heads to the contrary cannot induce him to break it.
 New Orleans is full of joy over the Presidents coming, and all parts of the south may well share in its re- joicing, for the trip will demonstrate the safety of all who travel in day light hours. It will practically put an end to a series of vexatious quaran. tines.
 Birmingham should be duly decor ated when the man who is more than a national figure comes here. He Is the admiration of the world. He be- came a worlds figure when he became directly instrumental in stopping the bloodiest war of modern times. We snonld honor man who has courage, who proposes to give all 8 square deal who is above all else a friend of hu- manity. The streets through which he will pass during his stay in Bir- mingham should be gaily festooned, and the people of this city should get ready to give the nations head warm and hearty welcome.

 Nothing, assure you" said the great man. "Indeed, I am secretly ashamed of It.
 "Goodl" exclaimed the publisher. Tt Is, I infer full of trivial and wholly in- consequential details"

Marriaae Licenses Incidental.

Over in Georgia groom of one county sought a bride in another. and in the haste of his wedding prepara- tions he did not secure a license to marry in the proper county-that Is to say, in the county in which he found a wife. The validity of his marriage was therefore questioned, and the groom appealed at once to the attor- ney general. His social status per plexed him, and he desired to take out a new license and be remarried, if need be.
 The attorney general of Georgia pfomptly replied that his first mar rage stood good. He had unwittingly committed misdemeanor, but a H. cense neither makes nor mars a mar riage contract That contract stands because it can be proven, and both wife and husband are only too willing to assist in furnishing evidence.
 
 The moral is that no technicalities, no statutory provisions, can come be- tween two young people when they oesire to establish new household. They may be fined if they disregard the law, but the civil contract, called marriage. can not be brushed aside by mere statutes. Nor did the lawmakers so intend or desire. Of all the busl- ness in this word there is not one more important or far-reaching than the setting-up of new home, and the state prefers to promote the good work rather than to put obstacles m the way of it.

Story on Edison.

understood you to say you wanted board for self and wife" said the clerk at the Colonial hotel yesterday after noon' addressing a prominent man who had just put his name on the register q do," quickly responded the guest. T almost forgot about having a wife. Such negligence is unpardonable. But it re- minds me of story told on the famous inventor. Thomas A. Edison. You have heard it.
 Edison, as the story goes, was mar ried some time during the day. It was sociaa event and prominent people from all around were present. After the ceremony was over Edison received the congratulations of a host of friends and excused himself. One by one the guests departed until all had gone save the immediate friends who had been in- vited to the exclusive evening reception. The famous inventor did not put in an appearance and inquiry was made about him. The bride explained that he told her he had urgent business to attend, and would be back as soon as possible. A friend of Edison's, not familiar with the circumstances at the brides home, happened to pass the inventors labora- tory and was somewhat amazed to see light burning and the shadow of a person, resembling Edison on the window curtain. Mounting the steps he went to the door leading to the inventors s room. Sure enough It was Edison. Well, well, well! What does this mean? I thought you were married to- day.
 " So l was!' answered the inventor, at the same time reaching for his hat. I forgot all about that, I was So absorbed in that new electrical discovery I have made
 Tt is said Edison was late for the wedding dinner but he made up good excuse for his absence. It was some years later that he is said to have re- lated the story to a friend"

Complete Power House.

"The power house of the street car com pany," said S. B. Slater yesterday, promises to become very soon a won derfully equipped plant. The consumption of coal in 1t is enormous, probably about loo tons a day, and thls quantity Is at present thrown into the grates of the nu- merous boilers by shifts of men, who are paid $l.50 a day.
 "The company is engaged in putting in the Green travelling link grates, made by the Green Engineering company of Chicago. When the automatic stokers are complete, together with the auto matlo ash oonveyors, but few men will be needed at the boilers. The coal will he dropped from hopper cars into the Green hoppers, and 1t will not reappear at all Machinery, suction an1 combus ton will do the rest.
 Few plants In any city will exceed in size or efficiency the power plant that ex- tends from Eighteenth street to Nine- teenth street. It is a marvel of modern engineering skill, and the drawing of cars on over one hundred miles of track Is but one of it's great tasks. for 1t lights and heats a goodly part of this city"

roe's name was understood to mean that no European country would be permitted by this country to acquire additional territory in the Americas. It meant this, and nothing more, and no party has in a national platform given it wider meaning.
 It is now proposed, however, to widen it so that this country will as- sume practical protectorate over all the territory from the Rio Grande to the Horn, making us directly responsi- ble for their finances and their police administration. One trouble with the new doctrine consists in the opposi- tion of the republics to the south of us to the acceptance of any such con trol on our part. They are wholly willing to have their political inde- pendence guaranteed by Uncle Sam, but they are not willing to accept dic- tation or direction in their internal affairs.
 The new doctrine has endless com plications shut up in it, of which San to Domingo is but a small example. Congress will be asked this winter to consider the problem extended by Santo Domingo, and no doubt the scope of the proposed extension of the doctrine of 1924 will be discussed. It certainly should be. If we are to take over the countries to the south of us, the business should be done openly and above board, and 1t should b3 ratified by the people at the polls by first becoming a leading national is- sue.

Prosperous Alabama.

Governor Jelks has succeeded in re- funding the state bonds that become due and payable on January 1, thus postponing the refunding issue to July l, when bonds to the par value of $7,436000 fall due. The states credit has enabled Governor Jelks to float 31a per cents at 102. The bonds to be redeemed at the opening of the new year are four per cents.
 The refunding of the bonds has been accomplished on reasonably satisfac- tory terms. Few states indeed have done better. There is no room for complaint, so far as the terms ob- .tained are concerned, but the re- placing of the January bonds does not touch the surplus problem of the treas ury. It does, in fact, aggrayate it, be- cause less interest money will here after be paid out.
 The informal report of the auditor covering the last fiscal year shows that receipts exceeded expenditures to the extent of $207,1 ,169. The congested condition of the treasury will each year be heightened rather than less ened. There is no more room for doubt in this respect than there is room for doubting the present surplus of about million dollars.
 If this surplus were applied early next year as MT. Bowie recommends, Alabama's credit among investors would be carried to the top notch, and the big refunding of next July could be negotiated under the best possible circumstances.
 The surplus of next year and the quarantine of next year both stare the people of this state in the face, and it is difficult to see how Governor Jelks can consistently avoid calling the legislature together early in the coming year.

Street Improvements.

When George Wards first term of of- flee expires Birmingham will probably have more paved streets than any city of It's size in the country" said John Donelson yesterday. Several miles of construction work Is already under way and the City Council has let contracts for still more.
 Within couple of years all the busi- ness streets will be we'll paved and many of the streets and avenues in the resi- dence portion will be paved. Nothing ad- vertises city more than paved streets. and nothing impresses the visitor as fa- voraby. A man is naturally impressed when he drives or walks over a well paved street, and he will comment on the impressions he receives when he visits some other place."

WOMAN FIRST IN THE WORLD.
Eskimo Tradition as to Origin of Hu-
 man Family.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
 "rhe arctic Eskimos have their tradi- ton of the origin of man, much the same as the Caucasian; and their tales or the prowess in battle, their sages relat- ing the past glories of what IS now an almost extinct race. are as thrilling as some of those that tell the wondrous deed of Odin and Thor, or of those Grecian ancients whose deeds are yet preserved in prose and poetry"
 So says Dr. John P. Driggs, the medical missionary at Point Hope, who has lived among the arctic natives almost con- tinuously for fifteen years. Dr. Driggs be- lieves that man had his origin within the artic circle.
 According to Eskimo tradition" says Dr. Driggs ''the first man was made not from the dust of the earth but from a piece of chewing gum-for be 1t known that the Indian is the original gum chewer as well as tobacco smoker But woman was first. The first woman was lying one day on her couch of furs, chewing gum, Growing weary, she took 1t from her mouth and fashioned it Into the from of a man. Tired then, she fell asleep, to find, that upon her awakening the breath of life had been breathed into the figure of gum of which she had been the architect, and To! man was there! And so the world began to be peopled.'
 It Is related as a fact that high upon mountain to the north and east of Point Hope are the skeletons of three oomaks, or boats. In good condition. They have been we'll preserved during 10000 years or more by climatic conditions, and may have been the original Noahs s Arks. They at one time, in all probabil- ity, rested upon the beach,

Extendinu the Monroe Doctrine.

President Monroe's doctrine of 1924 was directed solely against territorial aggression in the Americas. It was aimed more particularly at the Holy A--.ance, which particularly detested republics or popular rule of any sort. 'lhe Spanish-American countries were at the time engaged in throwing off the rule of Spain, and the Holy Alliance preferred Spain in the contest Pres ident Monroe fired his famous doctrine at the coalition that grew out of the Napoleonic wars, and England sec oned the shot, and the Americas be- came free and independent.

Importe d Iron.

Tn 1903 we imported 5SO,972 tons of pig from said a broker yesterday. Tn 1904 we imported 52,536 tons, and in the first eight months of 1905 we have imported 127,2i5 tons. But heavy imports of foreign iron in the remainder of this year are not expected. simply because the English or German ironmaster cannot pay ocean freight and duty and sell iron here at a profit.
 'It costs $25.sO to lay down in New York a ton of pig iron from either an English or German furnace, and the highest grade of domestic iron Is not worth that much in New York. The domestic consumer will therefore buy domestic iron, and only small lots of foreign iron for exceptional uses will be imported"

BIRMINGHAM MEN IN CAPITAL,

From the Washington Post.
 Four leading citizens of Birmingham, Ala, arrived In Washington last evening and took rooms at the New Willard. They were Messrs. J. O. Thompson, who combines the duties of state chairman. collector of internal revenue, and referee as to the patronage of his state; John L.. Parker, president of the board of trade, Eugene Fies, president of the Alabama State Fair association, and J. B. Babb, secretary of the Commercial club.
 Our mission here," said Mir. Parker, lis to urge President Roosevelt to spend a longer time in Birmingham than the two hours which are called for in the schedule of his southern trip. We are going to make strong plea for an extension of this brief stay. Our people wish the Pres ident to see more of Birmingham than he could possibly in two hours. It is the south's great industrial center, and bids fair to become one of the most important cities in the United States. It has a pro- gressive and liberal population and q large percentage of It's inhabitants are enthusiastic admirer of the President
