PUBLICITY IS CURE FOR
 CORRUPTION OF TODAY
CARDINAL JAMES GIBBONS.

due to the efforts of the metropolitan press.
 Tt may not be good theology; it may not be good ethics, but it Is certainly very good common sense and very good moral element that the fear, the dread of exposure in the punllc press keeps many a man sticking close to the path of recti- tude, who otherwise would stray off into the byways of personal graft.
 There Is nothing the Cardinal con- tinued, which man prizes more than his reputation, and the only way to ef- fectually upset maR's reputation is to expose him in the ublic press. The power of the press is incalculable. Sometimes 1t happens that the defect is shown in an exaggerated form, but as rule, the public exposures of public men are pub lie benefactions.
 '"rhe shattering of idols, popular idols, has of late become a thing Of almost daily occurrence. It Is a sad thing to con- template, but it is an inevitable condi- ton.
 '.The great trouble maker in this coun- try is money Americans are not misers. thank God Otherwise we would be in a most deplorable condition. When great fortunes are made they are almost as rapidly expended and the constant cir culation of money. the keeping going Of these accumulations of wealth Is one or the hopeful signs of the future.
 'In the United States it is not the love of the money. it Is the money itself that is the root of all evil. The fact of possessing money and having the oppor- tunitv to spend 1t, brings with it un- told incinations Towards vice and im- moral and unlawful extravagance

"Inasmuch as this is true, it seems to me that all trains from New Orleans should be halted at the state line and thoroughly fumgated. To do this would require perhaps ten minutes. I suppose the health authorities will see that this is done as soon as possible Prudence re- qures that it be done.
 I am on the way to Blount Springs" the Governor continued, ito receive a committee from the Immigration associa- tion. As l understand 1t they wish to use, or have used, a portion of the con- tingency fund to encourage immigration to Alabama.

HE FAVORS IMMIGRATION

Governor Jelks of Alabama arrived in Birmingham last night from Montgom- cry on his way to Blount Springs. where he goes this morning for a few days of rest and recreation. While in town last night the governor expressed clearly and emphatically his views regarding the sub iects of quarantine and immigration.
 To Quarantine Order.
 "It was with reluetance and regret" said Governor Jelks. "thot I decided to place the entire state under the quaran- tine order. It seemed to me that the southern sections of the state needed the quarantine imperatvely, but that there was little danger for North Alabama, so far as the New Orleans situation was con cerned. The statute, however, leaves the governor little discretion in such matters. He is almost required to act upon the recommendations of the state board of health. In as much as all members of the board, with possibly one exception, whom I consulted, insisted upon quaran- timing the whole state, there was nothing left me to do but to issue the instruc- tions which appeared In the newspapers. In this connection might add that a very prominent Birmingham man who met me in Montgomery this morning said he was glad that Birmingham had been embraced within the scope of the quarantine.
 New Or, ms Ssu T. :., Serious
 "It is apparent" continued Governor Jelks, that the situation at New Orleans Is serious one The disease has claimed victims in various sections of the city, and the number of cases is somewhat alarming. l am inclined to think that too little attention is being paid to the mosquito The quarantine, 1t seems to me, should be directed against the New Orleans mosquito quite as much as against passenger from New Orleans I am told, and have reason to believe, that New Orleans mosquitoes are regular pas sengers on almost all trains coming from New Orleans into Alabama. There Is no doubt that mosquitoes from New Orleans are aboard some of the trains that run out of the Crescent City It is an inter- esting fact that the fly and the mosquito can get In car that runs at the rate of forty or sixty miles an hour and re- main in 1t in the act of flying throughout long journey. At any rate mosquitoes make the trip from New Orleans into Alabama.

 Expended on Muscle Shoals.
 The amount expended in the operation and the care of Muscle shoals canal dur ing the fiscal year was $55,146.57.

 Major Newcomer reports that the total commerce of the Tennessee river system during the last calendar year was 1,607. 463 tons. valued at about 900. He thinks that about 22,c00 tons should be deducted from this total on account of duplication in reports from different sections of the river

Way to Get Immigrants.

"The state needs immigrants, but we cannot get them by talking or printing about the 'salubrious climate, and healthy condition and fertile fields of the state I especially desire to get agri- cultural immigrants as well as new cmers for industrial and manufacturing purposes. In doing this, we must select the best lands possible, backed by a re- sponsible company. We must be ready to gay to the prospective immigrant: We've got good lands down there with com fcrtable shelter, and the certainty that your industry will be promptly and satis- factorily rewarded There must be no rainbow chasing in the business and the states money will not be spent on any merely theoretical plan or procedure.
 Solution of Problem.
 'If we can get desirable lands there will be no trouble in getting immigrants. Three or four colonies of desirable im- migrants settled in this state and do- ing well will enable the state to go out of the immigration business. After that, the colonies will multiply all over the state I shall insist that practical plans be adopted and the immigrants be de- Sirable"

Ito and Hartman appeared this

Ito was cool. Soon many missiles were
thrown. Police dispersed the mob.
Ito is blamed more than anybody else
