The editorial profession claims to represent the most advanced stage of civilization and enlightment. If the National Association of Editors shall figure as willing spectators of the gen uine scalping act as arranged for its entertainment in Oklahoma it's mem bers thereafter will nave some trouble in proving their right to serve as guide to the public. It is even rather a reflection on their standing that the scalping scheme should have been thought of for their pleasure.
 The above is from The Indianapolis Star which is usually up-to-date in all matters. There never was any foundation for the report that "a scalping act had been arranged for the delectation of newspaper men in QlIahnma- and The Star ought to have

Racing on Country Road.

That's a dangerous practice" said a man on a Pickett Springs car yester- day afternoon returning from the oase- ball game as he pointed to half a dozen horses and buggies running like mad on the Wetumpka road on their way. back to the city. First ono man would urge his horse on until he gained the lead and then another would make a spurt and out-distance him. Other vehicles in the road were obliged te draw sharply to one side of the road to avoid being run over by the racing men.
 "Cne unfortunate accident occurred out here on this road some months ago and does seem that people would learn something by experience" he continued. II will not be surprised any day to learn that two teams have had a collision out here and that some one has been killed or badly injured. It's all right to speed a horse along a country road when the track Is clear but this thing of going at breakneck speed along popular road well crowded with all sorts of vehi- cles Is going to result seriously be- fore it ends or I am much mistaken"

Enthusiastic on Pensacola.

A prominent lumber dealer of Mont gomery who returned yesterday morn the neighboring country about the Florida gulf port spoke enthusiastical- ly of the prospects that Pensacola has for becoming one of the great cities
 Tt Is an undisputed fact" he said, that the harbor is one of the finest in the world and the people of Pen sacola are letting the world know port. You nave no idea how much that town is advertised over the Uni- ted States.
 Pensacola Is naturally a beautiful hancing It's beauty every day. Dur ing the past eighteen months, manu- factories and industrial enterprises have sprung up in marvellous rapidity about him to see that the city is mak- ing great strides in its devolpment. Cotton and lumber, two of the South great industries are handled in tre- CTS running direct to Liverpool with loads of cotton and vessels supplying many. of the Central American and South American coast cities with the finished lumber that they use
 Up to a short time ago, Pensacola was infested with gamblers but some weeks ago. the poHce got busy and cleaned the town O. them like a new stroke. The people are orderly for the most part--some disorder, of course arising from the low eb of humanity that drifts in on some of the vessels that make the port of Pensacola. but street brawls are not frequent con sidering the rougher element of sail- ors who are on land there weeks at a time.
 Uncle Sam's battleships which were in Pensacola a short time ago, attrac- ted a great many persons from all over Alabama and Mississippi and the merchants of the city enjoyed an un- equalled era of prosperity while the ships were In port.
 Mark my word. Pensacola will be | a great city in few years"

portion of the peninsula. The Nisay-
ans will be located on the Trail, where
they will conduct a native theater.
The natives who We're at the st.
Louis exposition, has returned to the
Philippines. They went home with the
intention of telling the people of their
tribe of the wonders of America, and
many are also looking forward to their
return to Portland next spring. An
tonic, chief of the Bontoc Igorrotes, a
warrior who has five human heads to
his credit, visited Portland with DR..
II. x. Hunt, who collected and had
charge of the exhibit at st. Louis. AS
Antonio will return to the Lewis and
Clark exposition, he desired to look
over the grounds so that he could tell
the people where they We're coming
next year. Antonio was much pleas
ed with the exposition and the Rose
City, and will exert his influence in
DR.. Hunts behalf, in the collection OF
the natives.
When DR.. Hunt was arranging for
the st. Louis exhibit, he was handi
capped by the fact that the 1gorrotes
had never been more than ten miles
away from home, and knew practically
nothing of the outside world. They had
no idea where they We're going, how
they would get there or whether they
would ever return. But, nevertheless,
some of them put explicit confidence in
Dr. Hunt, who had lived with them for
year and who had always been their
friend. Naturally there We're some of
the warriors of the tribe, fighting men
of six feet in stature, who refused to
make the trip. But the glowing ac-
counts. of the safely returned travel
ers will create a desire in the rest of
the people to visit America, and DR..
Hunt can take his pick of the best
types of men and women on the ISL
ands.
Besides the wild tribes, the govern
ment will detail 100 Filipino scouts for
duty at the exposition. The scouts are
made up of representatives of the
higher class of Filipinos and are a
part of the regular army. a band of
native musicians will probably ac-
company the company.
