Dangerous PIace-Railroad street below the E. P.-& s. w, is in a dan gerous condition at several points on the side overhanging the yard tracks of the railroad. At one place a cave of earth has occurred which has left a hole that a horse could go through without difficulty. Pedestrians are obliged to use this side of the road, and are liable to fall through the hole that exists there. In view of the traffic that crowds the thoroughfare daily it is only question of time until serious accident grows from the condi- ton of the street on the railroad side unless repairs are made.

A RUFFLED NETGHBOR.

Our good neIghbor, Canada, is yet somewhat sore over the Alaska Bound ary award. and the feeling crops out on various occasions through their newspapers. Recently, too, Secretary Root rubbed it on them in his speech on the Monroe doctrine. where he told all the States and countries of the two Americas that our government will protect them against all outside crea- ton. That stirred The Toronto World to say;
 It is impossible to prevent Mir. Root placing any kind of interpretation he pleases on the Monroe doctrine. Free speech is one of the undoubted rights of free born American citizen. Our quarrel Is with the amiable idiots who illustrate MT. Roots meaning with it's application to Canadas position on the American continent. We do not know what proud European monarch has de- signs on the integrity of this country. The probability is, however. that when these designs materialize Canada will not ask that the Monroe doctrine be in- voked to save us from European in- vasion. When Canadians reach that their nationality without the aid of the United States they will feel that&thcir nationality is not worth preserving.
 Mir. Root should have known that he was rubbing the Canadians the wrong way when he intimated that their coun- try needed protection against European powers. They think that. with little help from John Bull, they are able to take care of themselves against any body, unless it be Uncle Sam. They are just a little bit doubtful about him, especially when he has a trade in his head, but any intimation that Can ada must look to the United States for protection Is not calculated to i'll them with yearning love for their big neigh bor. And yet, for all its growing, The World admits that Canadas 'defenses are miserably weak" which is a true statement. It might actually come to pass that our Monroe doctrine will come in handy if-some foreign power tries to swipe our neighbor on the North.

To be States Attorney with the county of Cook" as The Chicago Jour nal expresses it. has been a good thing for Charles s. Deneen, of that city. MT. Deneen gets salary and fees, espe- cially the fees, and The Journal says that for the year just ended he drew $i6,554.52. We suppose the fifty-two cents was for postage, but at any rate that was pretty fair pay for an official, and seventy-five per cent of it was made during the last six months of tho year. or nearly six thousand dollars d month
 Now that he has been elected Governor he will have to get along on a salary of little more than one-eighth of what he has been getting as States Attorney, but as he has held the latter position eight years he can afford to take higher one at q smaller salary

A PAYING CROP.

The Advertiser has more than once spoken of the wonderful capabilities of the Catalpa as a timber tree, and as one of the trees which may be made useful in reforesting the regions from which the natural growth has all been cut. In a recent issue of Arboricul- ture there is an account of one experi- ment which sustains all the claims made for this tree. Some thirty years ago, or a little less, one square mile of land in Kansas belonging to the Fort Scott & Gulf Railway was planted in Catalpa trees. The land afterwards became the property of the St Louis & San Francisco Railway, and the pur- chasing agent of that system recently stated that he has sold one hundred thousand dollars worth of posts from that section of land, and that only from the thinning of the immense for est which has grown up from the plant ing of thirty years ago.
 There is one instance of the demon- strated profits from Catalpa planting. Owing to the scarcity Of wood in many parts of the West the posts probably sold for higher price than they would in Alabama, but there can be no room for doubt as to the economic value of the tree. Planting all the waste and uncultivatible lands in suitable trees

ALABAMA BEHIND.

According to the statistics furnished of the tobacco crop of 1903, Alabama cuts very insignificant figurc in con nection with tho crop. The seven States of Vermont, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky and Tennessee raised in round numbers. sss,oo0.0oo pounds and of this amount Alabama furnished the insignificant amount of 254,745 pounds. Kentucky raised more than one thousand times about six hundred times as much.
 Of course soil and climate have some- thing to do with it, but it is doubtless more owing to the fact that Alabama has always been a better cotton State than those further North. which has forced them into tobacco culture as a paying crop. just as we look on cot ton. but we see no season why that should continue to be the case; or rather, we see no reason why Alabama should not at least divide this staple with some of the other States. People will chew, smoke and snuff as long as their tastes remain as they are. King James himself was powerless to stop the use of 1t in Great Britain, Those who want it will have it, and Alabama might as we'll furnish her share of 1t.

Lynching, Etc.
Birmingham Ledger.

The Ledger has not published any long columns of lynchings and crimes. It has rather endeavored to show the new buildings. the increase Tn wealth, the advance in education, and the de- cided movements toward higher civili- zations> There are always bad men, and bad women, and crime will be With us until all people get good. It is the ad- vance in civilization that makes crime gradually cease.
 Almost in answer to these long state- ments of the crimes and lynchings, Is the speech of Booker T. Washington, delivered at Boston on the night of De- cember 4, last. In that speech he tells of what the negro has accomplished In the South. He says that in Macon County the negroes bought tract of land and laid 1t off for a village. The land was then worth $10 an acre, 1t is today worth $100 an acre, and not for sale; He then I,a;y says, Tn n, the South Sou5n are buying homes, becoming tax pay CTS. and educating their children. and improving their moral and religious show that negroes own 1,526,OOO acres of land In Georgia" That, in the South negroes own 67$.000 farms.
 Not only that. Booker Washington open to every black man, and in the field of commerce and labor he has more opportunities than in any other section of the country" In another
 
 gro contractor the negro architect, me- chanical engineer, electrician, carpen- ter, brick mason, does not often have to seek labor but labor seeks him. In this regard our opportunities are far more favorable than are those of the Russian Jews.
 These things were said by the lead ing negro of Alabama to those North ern people whoo are most bitter against the white people of the South. He tells them that the negro is allowed to own land, to have schools and churches. and to pursue all the trades and profess sions, and has nearly all the common labor of the land. This is all the an- swer needed to the charge that we de- vote all our time to lynchings ana white-capping. He tells what he knows as to the real condition of the negro and how he is doing in Ala bama.
 How much better is the presentation of this view of the negros case, than the presentation of his crimes and pun Ishments, as if there were no good ne- groes. The truth Is that the negro is making a very steady advance where ne Is bending his energies to bettering his own condition. The negro Is not going to Congress from Alabama, noI getting seat on the Supreme bench, but he is getting on as a banker, doc tor, teacher, builder and farmer. In fact, all the doors to wealth and prog ress are open to him.

NO RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
Administration and Legislators Un-
 able to Get Together.


 able to Get Together.
 Washington Special to New York Her
 aid.
 Railroad rates Legislation is dead so far as the present session of Congress IS concerned. 1t is said by leaders in both branches that nothing can be done, nU- matter how much President Roosevelt may desire it or how much
 The collapse of the campaign for government supervision of railroad rates takes away from the present session the only real live question Congress agitated When the Presi- dent gave up all hope of having some- thing done in the line of tariff revision he had reason to believe something might he accomplished in railroad leg islation. But this has now gone the way of tariff revision.
 The present situation has been brought about by an utter failure to come to an agreement on the form of legislation. The belief was expressed both in administration circles and in Congress that something should be done at once to remedy the evil point ed out in the Presidents message, but only on this one point was there any agreement When 1t came to methods not to say the phraseology Of a bill to be presented, there were almost IS many different views as members of the cabinet and leaders in Congress
 Such men as Senators Allison, Elkins and Deliver who have taken an in- terest in this question and expressed a hope that something might be done have given up in the Senate, while in the House Representative Hepburn, a leader in matters of this character, be- lieVeS the question is too large to make even beginning at the present ses- sion.
 Over all has been the pail of rail- road influence In the Senate. This in- huence has not been assertive nor has It been exerted on the surface. 1t has quietly made use of every little inci- dent detrimental to rate legislation and every apparent failure to come to agreement. It has lost no opportunity to create an atmosphere of postpone ment, and in this manner has added to the general mixup of the situation.
 Secretary Morton's efforts to have prominent railroad men join with the character of the Legislation have not met with success. On the contrary MT. Morton has found some of his old railroad friends turning against him. and when the President threw over his plan for having legalized pooling go hand in hand with increased powers for the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion all hope of getting any assistance from the great traffic managers ended
 Attorney General Moody who was at one time engaged in making the pre- llminary draft of an administration b1ll has found the question so com plex and full of diff1cVlty that even he has expressed tho opinion that little or nothing can be done in a year.
 Meanwhile all sorts of measures are being introduced. They are all inde- pendent and have neither the unified strength of the administration nor of leaders behind them
