A Fine Christm.s Sentiment.

Rev. Frank Willis Barnett, of Bir- mingham. owner and editor of The Ala bama Baptist is sending, out to his friends a neat Christmas sentiment In the shape of the following quotation from Henry Van Dyke entitled "The Footpath to Peace:"a
 "To be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars: but not contented with yourself until you have made the best of them; to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness. and to fear erned by your admirations rather than by your disgusts; to covet nothing that is your neighbor's except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners; to think seldom of your enemies. ofton of your friends; and every day Of Christ; and to spend as much time as you can, with body and with spirit, in Gods ut-of-doors-these are little guide-posts on the foot-path to peace"

If Madame Bernhardt -4s- going to tour the country with circus tent every town where she shows should in- sist on a street parade. A circus with out street parade is no good, Then there are communities which will in- sist on a trick mule and at least one elephant. We fear Miss Sally will get into worse trouble than she did in Can ada if she undertakes to tour the west in tent with none of the usual ac- sanAnaAinents of aireuS.

An Encouraging Sign.
Macon Telegraph. ...

FhdSpH oPiis
 We have already noted. and the evil dence multiplles. that New England is greatly stirred over the growing tend ency toward continuing centrailzation of power at Washington. Henry Loomis Nelson contends very earnestly in The Boston Herald that the reaction against the doctrine of State sovereign ty has gone too far now that the po- quarantine, life insurance, railroad and other interstate business under the control of the Washington Government.
 He holds that there is as much ob- jection to excessive concentration of power at Washington as to excessive Concentration of power at the State capitals. Both doctrines" declares of Ro6sevelt. that of the secessionists and that of the destroyer of the States, are radically opposed to the concep- tion of a Federal Government. Neither is consistent with any possible defni- tion of Federal Government. Com pared with these two measures, one of which must involve a legislative de- Court, the movement for the free coin age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 sinks into insignifcance." The writer quoted finds warning against fur tions in the recent record of graft in high places, among Senators as well as Federal officials.
 It is interesting in this connection to note that New England statesman. Senator 'Aldrich. is the author of the amendment to the canal deficiency bill, adopted by the Senate Appropriations Committee, requiring estimates and annual reports of the canal operations, and declaring distinctly that no money shall be expended for any of the pur- poses of constructing and maintaining the canal except in accordance with appropriations made by Congress.
 The point we make is not in any way obscured by the fact that the amendment was first suggested by that wide-awake old statesman, Senator Morgan of Alabama, who declared in a speech that the enactment of the de- hciency bill without some such amend ment would put it in the power of the President to spend the $135, 100000 au- thorized to be raised by bonds in any way he pleased. When he gets that authorization to issue those bonds he will feel at liberty to turn his heels on Congress and say, "I do not need any more appropriation from you. I have got SiS5, ,000, which I can sell bonds to raise. When I need more l can inform Congress"
 It is possible to put too great restric- tion upon the administration in it's handling of canal problems. and the matter requires careful consideration. But the caution of Senators is welcome under existing conditions, and the growing alarm over the continuing Naturalization of power at Washinston is an Sncouraninx-siKn.

TIIIman's Function.
New York Evening Post.


 "Tillman's function in the Senate is as unique as it is important He is the appointed saver of disagreeable things. His gift of stinging. sarcasm and his very manner of delivery, fit him for this work. The Senate is hardly itself, in fact. except when Till man and Spooner are exchanging cour- tosies, as they did yesterday. The Re. publican members would probably have 1t understood that they burn with in- dignation and horror when Tillman is running amuck. but we fear 1t is only constructive indignation. How many times, we wonder. has tho uncouth South Carolinian blurted out on the floor the very things that his Republi- can colleagues in good and regular olnAkroonAf

4 Wise Idea.


 Mir. Mallory chairman of the Demo- cratic Executive Committee. has called a meeting of the committee on January 9th. to set the time for the primary election of 1906. There is sentiment for an early election. but the cooler heads prefer waiting until August or September. so that the young men who come of age just before July 1st can register at that time and be able to vote. This. we think. a wise idea. It will not only let those who come of age register and vote. but 1t will give the people time to think out the politi- cal problems that are befofe them.

Thinning Out Territories.
Scottsboro Age.

The Republican caucus in Congress has decided in favor of the admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one State and Arizona and New Mexi- co as another. If this is carried out there will be no territories except Alaska, Hawaii and the Philippines. From the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to Mexico there will be q solid belt of States, a union not only in name but in fact. such as has not ex- isted for a long time before.

According to a recent decision. a wife cannot rob her husband. We all remember the story of the lawyer who was called to the jail to see man who had been imprisoned for a small off, fence. Why they can't put you in jail for that" said the lawyer. But I am in jail," was the convincing reply. Per- haps in the eyes of the law woman can't rob her husband but sometimes they do it.

 Our people have enjoyed all the fruits of prosperity. and have dwelled to- gether, as brethYen should, in peace and unity. No vexatious or harrassing problems have arisen to mar our peace or divert us from the even tenor of our way. Honesty and uprightness have brought their reward to those who have practiced them. It does seem therefore, that we should spend this Christmas in general thanksgiving, in- stead of riotous indulgence and revelry.
