The New Albany Vidette issued a
creditable special edition the week
before Christmas and made a splendid
showing for that town. One Of the
especially good features Of this edi-
tion was special correspondence from
different sections of the county giving
facts concerning the lands, etc, kind
Of soil, water, church and school IA
~cilities and other pertinent facts.
When a man begins to consider re.
moving to a new country he wants to
know all about that country, and the

benefit to Union county in the way OF
furnishing the kind of information
wanted. Other papers might follow

New York Nov. 17.-Recently the executive officers Of the Union and Southern Pacific sent a special com missioner through certain districts Of the west to look into the land question.

PRIEST AND PRESIDENT.

A timely article on "Our Mix-up in
 Santa Domingo" by Eugene P. Lyle, Jr., is in the October Worlds Work
 Mir. Lyle gives this description of
 President Morales:
 One chance of salvation seems to be personified in the president He knew
 that his country was not really bank
 rupt. It needed only administration He asked the United States to be his cOuntry's receiver. This was it's cure.
 It made him hated even more than he
 was hated already But it also pre- served him in office. And he is Santo Doningo's one present hope.
 He is not one of your irresponsible, promise-making Spanish-Americans, said one man to me. You can talk to him straight, and he is as direct with you. And you can depend on his doing what he says he will lo. I be- lieve that he is honestly trying to pull
 his country out of the hole"
 This may be set down as a compos- ite opinion from most Americans who have spent only a few days in Santo Domingo. A business man mar veled at his insight and quick ness to detect flaw in a tangled proposition. According to the standard of the West Indies his integrity ranks high. That is, fair minded ones do not think him capable of poodle. But they do not maintain that, should he have to flee over night, he would not govern himself accord ingly, were there anything to pocket. A newspaper correspondent told me that Morales had sent for him and di- Iected that he cable an entirely false account of what was then happening for the effect it might have in the United States. He was much sur prised when the correspondent explain ed that it could not be done, even as courtesy. One foreigner who knows him well, described him as vain and shallow. There are tales of his wild gallantry as a priest, but those who him for the affection which he shows to children. The eulogists hold that he is too strong to be the tool of politi- clans. Legality, they say, is the of his policy. The morn ing of his inauguration he had two executed. But there was documentary proof; they had confess ed, and they had been tried. He will | not permit his followers, now that they | are in his power, to pay off old | grudges. His most serious trouble, | -hen, may come from his own party. ! He hasn't shot anyone this week." is he most his enemies will say for him. And though a stickler for the law, he bought off a revolutionary brigand, Ol- Jedio Santiago, who was firing the own of Azura, for $3,000.
