A New Marvel of the Sea.

The Hamburg American company has put on the Atlantic ferry a ship that not only outranks in size the Great Eastern, but all other ships in the world. Ships are yearly becom ing so to speak, longer, deeper and even wider, and the time will soon come that harbors will have to be deepened in order to afford them land ing places.
 The new ship, the Amerika, is 6S1 feet long, "A feet 6 inches wide. and 53 feet deep. Her displacement is 42,000 tons, and she can carry 400O passengers and 16,00O tons cargo. Her crew numbers 520.
 When she crosses the Atlantic in the full tide of the tourist season the big ship is a miniature city. She car ries florist shop, has electric passen' ger elevators, gymnasium, medical baths, corps of trained nurses, be- sides stateroom telephones, a dining hall 100 feet long and "A feet wide, a two-story smoking room, and improved berths above the lower deck for even her steerage passengers.
 Ships of the Amerika type consti ute a practical bridge over the storm fest sea in the world. They are alike speedy and sumptuous, and if they could eliminate the sickness of the sea an ocean voyage would become one of the most enjS )able trips in this world,

Our Poll Tax Problem,

Elsewhere correspondent dis cusses the poll tax and the franchise. No one desires to see the poll tax abolished, but many do desire to see it become compulsory instead of vol untary and cumulative. If the tax were again made compulsory it's thor ough collection would render the cum ulative feature unobjectionable.
 When the voluntary and cumulative feature was put into the constitution in five years to the disfranchisement of 100000 white men. It was not fore seen that it would keep from the polls a vast number of the younger citizens of the state, but that is exactly what it is doing, and a serious problem is before us.
 The voluntary and cumulative poll tax is not needed in order to main tain white ascendancy in this state.
 The intelligence clause in the con stitution of 1901, aided by the grand father clause of that instrument, will do that, and the poll-tax provision as a safeguard is superfuous.
 Not only is the safeguard super duouc h,,t it ;o dompri 1bt born,f,,I Every young man who is deprived of his full political rights, who Is shut out from the ballot box, is an injury to the state, and when 100000 are kept out of the electorate the situation be- comes serious. True, the way is open to the ballot box. But that is not a solution. The way from the ballot box is also open, and bribe is offered to all to stay away from it. That bribe, small as 1t is, and just as it is is notoriously inducing a vast number to become disfranchised.
 Instead of offering a monetary in ducement to stay away from the ballot box, we should use all possible moral suasion to increase the number of cleo tors. It is idle to abuse those who permit themselves to become dis qualified. It Is the state we should consider, and the condition of the electorate.
 The state cannot afford to have d vast army of disfranchised whites of voting age. It cannot afford to let tho poll tax go unpaid. White ascendancy no longer needs protection in the form of cumulative poll tax. Why not then return to a compulsory poll tax?

SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY.
Kansas Citv Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
 There is something more-much more than southern hospitality in the reeep- tions that attend the Presidents tour through the south. The people of that section would be hospitable to the Presi- dent of the United States even under try ing circumstances, for they are instinct lively chivalrous; but in the case of Mir. Roosevelt there is spontaneousness a genuineness and an enthusiasm of ex- pression that mark the difference between courtesy and admiration. A few southern leaders in the last Presidential campaign did all they could to get the President disliked in that section, and to create the impression in the north that he was un- popular. They magnihed some of the ad- ministrative incidents calculated to arouse sectional prejudice, and predicted future policies disa greeable to the southern peo- pie But there was not at any time good reason to believe that these people were misled. MT. Roosevelt stands for such upright principles that he appeals to the admiration of all good people-- every where, and no other President has shown more genuine interest in the south than Theodore Roosevelt.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1905-10-27
Size of the Crop.

Up to October IS total of 4,940, ,72S bales of the new crop had been ginned. as against 6417S94 bales ginned up to October 25 last year. Thus there appears a falling off of about 20 per cent, and the best observers in the cotton belt have all along claimed that the percentage of reduction would be that much. This would cut the crop down to about 100000 bales.
 Many facts and circumstances must, however, be considered. In the case of Alabama the figures are at first sight misleading. The census bureau says 641 ,133 bales had been ginned up to October 1S and last year the gin ming in this state up to October 25 amounted to 6SS,14O bales. The de- crease is not much more than five Der cent, but this decrease is not dissim- liar to those in the rest of the south east.
 The heavy decreases are in the crops of the states west of us, seg,n. ming in Mississippi and eliminating in Texas. The crop this year is one of comparatively early maturity in Ala bama and the rest of the southeast, and in the remainder tf the cotton belt wet weather made the crop later than the one that was grown last year.
 The figures gathered hy the census bureau from 26,364 ginners have pret- ty we'll convinced even the English spinners that the new cop will not exceed eleven million bales, and this conviction has carried prices high enough to give the farmer 10 cents for his cotton at his nearest home nh,rket.

New Executive Department.

Congress is to be asked by the Pres ident to create another executive de- partment. Washington had but five cabinet officers-a secretary of state. secretary of the treasury. one of war. a postmaster general and an attorney general. We now have nine executive departments, and if Congress adds a department to take charge of insular affairs the number at the starting of the republic will be doubled.
 The proposed minister for the col onies would relieve the war depart ment of the care of the Philippines, the state department of Porto Rico, and the navy department of Guam. What would be the nature of the con- trol in that case of the canal zone does not seem to be determined.
 The present department chiefs each and all desire to be relieved of the care of insular affairs. This is par ticularly true of Secretary Taft, who feels the burden of the Philippines. The proposed new department would start with full load of business, for the countrys insular possessions are by no means inconsiderable. The sec. retary of war Is an overtaxed official and this will be the case so long as he has charge of the isthmian canal.
 It is to be hoped the establishment of department of insular affairs will not have the effect to increase our insular possessions, for we have too many already. We have so many in the Orient that to this day their mum Der is unknown. They are too numer. ous to be counted.

Did You See Teddy7"

'I wonder" said a man fond of asking unanswerable questions, "how many times the question. Did you see Teddy?' has been asked in Birmingham since last Tuesday.
 ''I myself have asked and been asked the question countless times. I have heard other people answering similar questions, and in nearly every instance the answer was in the affirmative. The use of the word Teddy was not intended to be dis respectful in the least. The appellation has been made so common by the cartoon ists and the humorous writers that none but the very correct were inclined to say President Roosevelt.
 'At a time when the popularity of Roosevelt was not as general as 1t is now, the nickname might have been used with touch of disrespect, but now, partly through a sense of humor and partly from habit, his real name or title Is not used except in the more serious conversation.
 "I believe that nearly every man, woman and child in the city got at least one glimpse of the nations first citizen. have asked everyone I met and not yet have I found one that failed to have a view of the President

ROOSEVELT HAD TO VISIT HER.
Ills Mothers Bridesmaid Wouldn't Go
 to Reception.

From the New York Sun.
 Atlanta, October 2s.-Calling him Theo- dore and batting him on the shoulder, Mrs. W. E. Baker, dame of the old southern regime, received President Roosevelt last Friday in Harrington Hall, her home at Roswell.
 Mrs. Baker was bridesmaid when the Presidents mother was married. She had been invited to the reception at the old Bullock home, but said the President must come to her.
 Secretary Loeb said this could not be, as it was contrary to all precedent for the President to visit private homes dur ing an itinerary.
 The President missed Mrs. Baker at the Bullock home and asked for her. Loeb told of her refusal to attend public re- ception, and the President said he must see his mothers bridesmaid. So he de- cided to cut out established precedents that he might meet and chat with the glrlhood friend of his mother. and at his suggestion Harrington Hall was in- cluded in the itinerary.
 When President Roosevelt entered the old home with Mrs. Roosevelt he found Mrs. Baker seated, dressed in black, trimmed with white lace about the collar and cuffs. She wore lace cap and was the picture of contentment
 And this is Theodore" she said, ex- tending her hand. q am so glad to see you, Theodore .Then batting the Presi- dent on the shoulder, she told him how his mother looked when she was mar ried.
