The State Fair.

The Alabama State Fair in Birming- ham will open tomorrow morning at half past ten o'clock.
 Alabama has had fairs and fairs, but the exhibition of 1905 will be far ahead of any similar enterprise yet projected. It will be great event, and every man, woman and child in Alabama will feel proud of it. All Alabama, all Georgia, all Mississippi, all Tennessee and in- deed all the south is expected here this week, and 1t is reasonable to say that large proportion of the people of this and adjoining states will be in evidence.
 Public-spirited citizens of Birming- ham have subscribed literally to the fair. Nearly s100,0OO has been ex- pended, and this outlay will tell.
 President Roosevelt is coming to the fair. He will be here Tuesday, and Ihc CioWuo IudI VIII 6iScI uliu VIII surpass in number and enthusiasm any concourse of people ever assembled in the south.
 The attractions at the fair will be multiform. Agriculture, mineral and industrial activities, and mercantile enterprise will all be represented. The horse show and the horse racing will be exceptionally interesting.
 Fairs serve two-fold purpose. They bring the individuals of the state to- gether and cause them to touch el- bows in a social compact. In this way the people come to know each other. and the unity of statehood is made all the stronger In the next place, fairs afford an opportunity for every pro- ducer of the state-agricultural and industrial--to place on exhibition the resources of the commonwealth and show to the outside world what is be- ing done in the way of material devel- opment. Alabama has made giant strides within the past few years, and the fair will in large measure, be a worthy exponent of the states prog ress. In short, it will be great fair and no Alahamian can afford to miss It.
 Birmingham will be in gala spirit for the occasion, and every visitor who comes to the fair will catch Birming hams enthusiasm and will go away i'm pressed and prouder of Alabama than ever before.

Presidential Speeches.

President Roosevelt discusses freely in the course of the tour he is making in the southeast the relations of the North and the South, and he shows in every speech he makes that he is aud proposes to continue to be the Pres iuent of the whole country. In that respect his tour is valuable and educa- tional He puts himself before the people of the south in a light robbed of all party rancor and nonsense. He does not come seeking votes. He comes to tell the truth.
 He discusses too. without reserve, rate regulation, but he has not a word to say about tariff revision. The avoid ance of the subject when he is speak ing many times a day seems to con. firm the report that tariff revision is to be neglected this winter in Con- gress in order to press through a bill covering the regulation of the rail roads. It is claimed that tariff revision and rate regulation are too big to be handled In one session of Congress, and if the President stays silent to the end of his trip touching the tariff, 1t will be safe to assume that Dingley- ism is to be sidetracked in the com ing session, and that rate regulation Is to be the administrations big meas ure this winter.
 He may discuss, however, the tarilf in New Orleans, where. no doubt, he will deliver a speech as carefully pre- pared as was his Richmond speech All of his speeches are valuable. be cause they are plainly the convictions of our strenuous first citisen-really because they are American from be ginning to finish.

Prof. Behring's Investigation.

In 1901 the Nobel prize in medicine, valued at $40,O00. was awarded to Professor Behring for his method of rendering cattle by inoculation i'm mune from tuberculosis. His next great success was the discovery of a serum treatment for diptheria. He announces that he has now in course of development a method of curing tuberculosis that involves the use of neither serum nor a vaccine. He says:
 "In the course of the last two years have recognized the existence of cura- tive principle for tuberculosis completely different from antitoxin. This new cura- tive principle plays an essential role in the development of the immunity which is derived from my bovo-vaccine. This bovo-vaccine has proved thoroughly effec- tive against animal tuberculosis during the last four years. The new therapeutic principle which have found rests upon the impregnation of the living cells of an animal with a substance originating from tuberculosis virus"
 He does not state that his investi-

GATES IN CONTROL.
His Friend Now President of the Nc
 public Company.

From the New York Commercial.
 John W. Gates Is in undisputed controi of inc Republic Iron & Steel Co.,, as was made anparent at the meeting of the hoard of directors when l.. G. Cooper, an official of the Illinois Steel Co.,, at the time MT. Gates was president of thai corporation, was chosen to succeed Pres- ident Alexis w. Thompson. The latter and MT. Gates have differed in their views regarding the policy in the management of the Republic Co.,, and. as announced in the New York Commercial some days ago, 1t was a foregone conclusion that MT. Thompson would give way to somo who was in sympathy with Mr. Gates plans. All the old officers with this ex- ception, were reelected:
 Since it's organization the Republic com pany has spent about sS,OO0,O00 in new construction, betterments, additions, etc., and the stockholders have more than once voiced the opinion that they should receive some compensation Tor this neavy outlay. It is claimed that the quick assets of the company are larger than ever before, and that earnings are now at the rate of nearly S4O0,Wo a month' while the dividends requirements on the preferred are less than $l,500,00O year; further that the corporation has $4.0oo.on loaned out at per cent.
