been in use for some time. and the ae-

arrangement is made whereby Ander-

Two Hot Political States.

The state elections this year are
neither numerous nor important. Mas
sachusetts and Rhode Island will elect
governors, because they do that every
year. Ohio also elects governor, but
the state is too one-sided to admit of
a series contest. Pennsylvania elects
a legislature and some minor state off,
GERS. but no democrat is hopeful In a
contest with the machine of that state.
The two hot elections Of this off
year will take place in Kentucky and
Virginia. In Kentucky the Beckham
machine proposes to make the present
chief justice OF the state senator in
the place of Mr.. Blackburn. :. he later

Memorial Day.

The weather yesterday became
bright at the last moment, and the
memorial exercises went on uncheck.
ed The occasion is memorable be-
cause of the unwilling of a monument
to keep before all the valor and devo-
ton and patriotism of the soldiers
who fought for high ideals and prin-
ciples of long standing.
Perhaps the best feature of the
monument unveiled yesterday in Capt.
toll park is the absence from it of all
prodigality. Il is tasteful and endur-
ing. It is not covered with language.
1t tells in the plainest manner the
story, and it came direct from the
hearts of the people. No distant mil
lionaire built it; no unsympathetic
hands shared in its erection. The
solid shaft unveiled yesterday will
stand as long as the city stands, and
then no monument of stone will be
needed. for the story of the war will
be woven into permanent history, and
all mankind will recognize the Confed-
crate soldier as a type of the man
who loves his land and people and ira
ditions.
Memorial Day has become a perma-
nent annual tribute in the south, and
it will be observed long after the vet
Grams are dead and gone. The sons
and daughters of the veterans will
then meet to commemorate the vir-
tues and heroic qualities Of their fore
bears. A more general observance of
the day is needed. 1t does all good to
stop for one day at least in a year to
consider the glorious past and to re-
call the services of the men who
fought for self-government and state
sovereignty Thei. views went down

Rates on the Panama Railroad.

Uncle Sam has gone into the rail
road and steamship business. He Is
now a factor in trans-continental
transportation, and Secretary of war
Taft. as President pro tenn, has felt
called upon to declare that the gov
eminent will not in the course of its
railroad and steamship business deal
out discriminatory rates or rebates
of any sort whatsoever. Mr., Taft
seems to regret that this policy will
affect trans-continental rates, but he
stands firmly by his strange and an
omalous determination. No discrim-
nations and no rebates on Uncle
Sans three boats and one railroad.
Unfortunately, he has no boats on the
Pacific end of the route all three of
his boats plying between New York
and Colon. The government also mo-
nopolizes docks at Colon, and 1t pro-
poses to do nothing to promote mo-
nopolies on the Pacific side. Just
rates. no determinations no rebates,
no monopoly, is Uncle Sans platform,
and 1t is a pretty good one, even II
the Pacific Mail puts boats on the At
lantic, owning as it does dock at
Colon.
Mr.. Taft's programme is all right
provided he will have one of his three
ships run between New Orleans and
Colon, instead of sending all of them
to New YORK. He should not discrim-
mate in that manner against the Mis-
sissippi valley, and its great port,
which Is 500 miles nearer Colon than
is New York. Otherwise Mr.. Taft Is
proceeding on correct lines, and he
will be upheld in his programme by
public sentiment, no matter what the
effect of his policy upon transconti-
mental rates may be after July 1, when
the discriminative contract with the
Pacific Mail company win have ex-
pired.

SMALLEST ENGINE
In the World Rests Entirely on ,
FlVe-ceht Piece.

Muncie dnd) Cor. indianapolis News.
The smallest stationary engine in the
world, as far as its maker can learn.
rests entirely on a fve-cent piece. 1t ID
owned and was made by John II. Cum
bingham, jeweler of Eaton, which is a
small town ten miles north of Muncie.
Cunningham has fad for making minia-
ture machinery
The little engine operates at a remark
able rate of speed under pound of
steam. So small are some of the parts
that magnifyng glass Is necessary to
make proper examination of them. The
screws that hold the parts together are
made from needles, the threads being so
fine as to defy the naked eye. The screws
are fraction of a millimeter in dame
ter. The fly wheel measures about three
eig,hths of an inch in diameter. 1t was
turned from steel by Cunningham, who
says it is the largest wheel that the en-
CINE will turn.
The engine has one-sixteenth of an inch
stroke; the cylinder head measures one
eighth of an inch in diameter while the
capped cylinder head measures a fourth
of an inch. The striking boxes are packed
with line scraped from silk thread, cot
ton being too coarse for the purpose
Cunningham cannot estimate the power
of the little contrivance whose steam Is
generated in a boiler made from a hand
bicycle pump and heated by a gas jet.
The engine thus far has never been able
to overcome greater resistance than that
furnished by the fly wheel
The engine was first built on a five
cent piece and Cunningham has now
mounted the coin and engine on small
stand. The piping for the engine is a small
copper wire drilled out in the center
and running to the boiler, which is sew
eral times the size and weight of the en-
CINE.

South Cardinals Enterprise.

When South Carolina quietly but
steadily established cotton mills until
she had distanced even the governor
of North Carolina, and put all the rest
of her sister states out of the running,
the business world was not O little
surprised. 1t was, however, an In
stance of business sense and business
persistence, and the Palmettoites have,
it seems, plenty more of such quail
ties in stock.
South Carolina is the only southern
state that has established an immigra-
ton station at Ellis Island, and prac-
tically all the immigrants are landed
at Ellis Island. Instead of discussing
the needs of the state and explaining
ON paper-why immigrants should
seek South Carolina, that state said
nothing In public, but went straight
way ahead to plant an agency at the
fountain head. She simply put her
business sense.into immigration mat
tiers. AlreadTAher agent has selected
more than a Thousand first-class i'm
migrants" and he expects to induce
thousands more to seek South Carolina
mills and farms. A stream of that
kind once started readily increases in
volume through the acts and influence
of those on the spot. South Cardinals
agency at Ellis Island will In the
course of time increase her taxable
values, lower her tax rate, and fill the
state with a desirable population pos
sessing and cultivating small farms.
Alabama should take hold of the
subject of immigrants in a business
like way. The next legislature should
consider the fact that two-thirds Of
this state consists of waste unoccu-
pied lands, and that little liberality
on its part could turn this way a
stream of Italians, to whom the color
line is not a bugbear. 1t is to some
immigrants, but the Italians are not a
bit afraid of it, and thousands of Ital-
ians are arriving at Ellis Island year
ly. South Carolina is on the spot
when they step ashore, while the other
southern states are discussing the sub
ject In an aimless manner a thousand
miles away. South Carolina secures
immigrants, and the rest of the south
does not.
