AssaIIinu the Gulf Ports.

The lake ports and the effete east have just he.d a convention in New York, where they resolved that they should retain the business which they l ave established Their comm rcial lie, they said, is threatened. When the matter was sifted it appeared they were all mad because New Orleans had shied it's hat to the ring as a com- petitor. John Sickle of the Chicago board of trade bemoaned the hard fact that whereas in 1909 only fifteen per cent of the corn exports of the eoun- try went through the gulf ports, now forty-two per cent have gulf outlets.
 The entire undertone of the conyen- ton was that the lake ports and the north Atlantic ports had acquired cer- tain "rights"-not exactly vested rights, for they did not use the word vested" but of rights of long stand ing and in their own minds of un- doubted worth and priority.
 The truth is no railroad, no port, no set of middlemea, have any rights in the products of the American farmer. Conventions may be held and resolu- tions passed, and no one will thus establish any right to the handling of a single bushel = the American crops. It is a matter of grades and distances, and as they favor the gulf ports from at least such points as Omaha, Kan sas City and St. Louis, the other side will have to subside, or else embark heavily in the cut rate business Grades and distances are the only test. None others are in it, and the buster and strong words of the New York convention are emptiness itself Grades and distances will determine the contest.

From the Kansas City Journal.
 The farmers of America produce more wealth than do any other people on earth, Last year they cleared up nearly $5,0D0, 0OO,0O0 on their crops. Out of the pro- ceeds of the corn crop last year the farm CTS could have paid the nation debt and still have had enough money to run the government for six or eight months. All that the gold mines of the entire world have produced since Columbus discovered America do not equal the value of the food supplies raised on American farms during the last two years, while this years product is over six times the amount of the capital stock of all national banks 1t comes within $750, coo of equal liag the value of the manufactures of 1900, less the cost of materials used; it is twice the sum of our exports and imports for a year, it Is two and a half times the gross earnings from the operations of the rail- ways it is three and a half times the value of all mineral produced in this country including coal, iron ore, gold, silver and quarried stone

What a Shame!

"What a shame. What shame!" ex- claimed travelling salesman as he stood in the lobby of the Florence hotel last night and saw a policeman pick up bod fly a mere stripling of boy and carry him to the patrol wagon awaiting.
 There is no doubt in my mind but what that boy who should be at home with his parents right now. is drunk And who is to blame for it! Surely there is no saloon man in your city who would sell intoxicants to a youngster like that
 'In all cities there are ordinances pro- hibiting the sale of intoxicants to minors and habitual drunlkards. but I fear these laws are not enforced properly. In many cases over-growr boys go into saloons and order a drink. and when the bartender asks them if they are of age they will tell a falsehood by answering in the af- firmative. In this case of course the bar tender is not to blame. but he should all ways be very careful.
 "Of all the laws we have in this great country of ours first of all let us enforce those against selling liquors to minors and hab.tual drunlSards."

vegetables and froze the pipes, but the truth is, the vegetables were too easly and the pipes were put in by clumsy, ignorant plumbers. The son is not burned out even in spots. It wnl continue to do business at the old stand, md the spots will remove themselves in their own time. sLet thes pots alone, and they will let you alone.
 Way back in 1843, when the Miller ite eranks were about to wind up the world, a spot appeared on the sun 74,816 miles across, and in 1858 there was one 1O700O miles in diameter. Sometimes sun spots last throughout the greater part of the year; some- times they are dissipated in half an hour. The entire sun-spot business is a mystery, and We may as well let it go at that.

Expulsion of MT. Comertord.

The Honorable Frank D. Comerforl, , democratic legislator of Chicago, has been bounced-not because he had been or intended to be corrupt in the slightest respect, but because he had talked too much. He was expelled from the lower house of the legislature by a vote of 121 to 13.
 MT. Comerford is a lawyer, and in the course of lecture before a class of his law students in Chicago, he re- marked that bribery was rampant that votes were auctioned off to the highest bidder. He did not specially mention the present legislature. He simply spoke of the well-known evil in American public life, and he spoke but the truth.
 He faced his enemies gamely standing by everything he had said, and characterizing his opponents in un- measured terms. When it is recalled that Comerford's charges were in fact of historical nature not involving the present legislature except as contin. uing institution, the action of the Hi nois house becomes inexplicabe. There is not an intelligent citizen of Illinois wnJ does not know that Conner ford spoke the sober truth. Illinois is one of the rottenest of states, ex. celled perhaps by Rhode Island and Pennsylvania, but by few other states.
 The Chicago Record-Herald says some of the persons accused by Comerford were by no means above suspicion, and it notifies the legisla- ture that it's reputation will rest, not upon the expulsion of Comerford, but upon its own conduct during the rest of the session. It evidently has not much confidence in it's conduct

Northern Farmers Coming.

From one railroad alone 4S7 home seeking passengers have been ticketed Q one Alabama county, and already etters have been received in their ,ld homes indicating a determination )n the part of some of them to stay n Alabama.
 The new movement is largely due Q the severity of tho present winter. One blizzard has followed another in he northern states during period 3f fully three months, and two more months of bad weather are antici- 2ated. Farming, and especially stock raising in such climate is discourag- tng, and not a few northern farmers are looking towards Alabama. a state of cheap lands and equable climate.
 It is a pity the state has not an or ganized immigration bureau. What ever accessions Alabama gains will come largely through the efforts of the railroads. The railroad work should be supplemented by state and by local organizations, and in the course of time we will come to an ap preciation of the value of a general effort to attract white immigrant farmers. We need half million of even more.

IN HOTEL LOB3IES
Two Great Events.


 me week just passed included the an- iRVersary of two most notable events, 9 remarked man yesteday "On the sth of last February the first battle was fought In which two Russian cruisers were sunk, ana one year ago from Sunday of this week the fire in Baltimore occurred, caus- inS loss of about $1OO.0O0oO0. As every one knows this was one of the largest fires in the history of the world the entire business section of that city being swept away.
 Tn the year passed Russia and Japan have spent s1,oOO0OooO in conducting the war and they have lost about 100000 men in killed and. wounded. The year has seen the Japss attain their every desire, except the capture of Mukden. They have captured Port Arthur. they have destroy ed Russias naval power in the east and they occupy all of Southern Manchuria. Tt now looks as if the greatest land struggle of the entire war is about to be waged in which Russia will have about 10000 men and the Japs will number about 100000 more. Many predicted that Japan would not stand before Russia for year, but the wiser ones and those who were acquainted with the conditions in the two countries freely predicted a long drawn out. obstinate end disastrous fight.
 So this week last year saw two of the great events in modern history, the beginning of the war and the Baltimore fire. This year sees Baltimore rising ma jestically from the flames, and 1t sees the two nations at war preparing for greater to come.

The Birmingham District.

'lt is entirely within the range of prob- ability that the increase in net earn ings of Louisville and Nashvillel for the fiscal year will equal if not exceed slOO.- 900 per month"; says the Wall Street Journal
 "As heretofore pointed out, the return of prosperity 10 the south is now being reflected in the earnings of the various roads. and t is being clearly demonstrat- ed that while a big cotton crop i5 a good thing for southern roads, the tre- mendous development of industries now going on all over the south is rapidly freeing the roads from the thraldom of cotton.
 ''rhe actual figures of Louisville and Nashville for the six months ended De- cember 3l shows a surplus of s2.3i5,5S7. as against sl.91s,622 for the corresponding period in 1903 and s1.i02,Osi for the first half of 1902 There was slight decrease in charges. while the dividends paid in- creased $3O00c0, the total dividends paid being S1 ,SCO0O0 as against s1 100000 for the first half of 1903.
 "The increase in gross is largely due to the growth of traffic in the Birmingham district and the Louisville and Nashvlle's greater share of 1t. For the next five months traffic should continue excellent.
 "The developments now going forward in and around Birmingham mean more traffic and greater stability to the pres ent trade.
 Ut is beyond question that the Bir- mngham district is going to have this season greater developments proporition- ately than any other iron section. Rail- roads with Birmingham connections and terminals will of course get the lions share of the new trade, and in this re- spect Louisville and Nashville is advan- tageously placed

From the London Times.
 The Russian cartoons of the war are said to be changing their character and becoming less victorious For a long time they exhibited a situation at Fort Arthui quite unknown to the combatants. A huge Russian soldier was represented, for in- stance, sprawling along the peninsula ana amusing himself by upsetting Japanese warships with his Title finger. In another picture Togo was in tears over the de- struction of his feet while Uncle Sam patted him on the back. saying; Don cry. my little man.! In these cartons, by the way there was very little anlmus against John Bull, who figured very sel- dom, but Uncle Sam was constantly rep resented as the friend and packer or Japan

Spots on the Sun,

The sun Is now disporting a spot said to be several times larger than the earth. But the sun has been spotted many times before. In the days of old sun spots scared people but nowadays it would take more than a spot on anything to step the trusts from grabbing all there is in sight.
 Science has furnished plausible SO lutions of many subjects, but it has not revealed the Why and the Where fore of sun spots. The truth is, Ma ture has royal way. She does not stop to explain her methods, and spots on the sun come and go, and no one gives them a moment $ thought.
 There are, of course, some men who have nothing. else to think about, who say the spots on the sun killed early

Iron Making at Mary Lee.

The Alabama Consolidated com pany is about to build another fur mace plant, and efforts should be made to induce the company to make iron in Jefferson county. It makes none in this county at present. It makes an abundance of coke at Mary Lee, but it has no plant at Mary Lee tc consume it's coke.
 And yet there is bold stream at Mary Lee, which offers at all seasons all the water furnace plant can use. The company has, too, its own track leading 10 the systems centered in Birmingham.
 The building of a furnace plant at Mary Lee would largely help this county, and our citizens should see that no obstacles exist towards such consummation. The subject is one of importance, and the Commercial CluD SHouiu 6iFS IL Soou "eeSheioii' The Commercial Club should get in touch with President Bush with a view to ascertaining what objections, if any, there are to a location of the proposed plant in Jefferson county. The Alabama Consolidated will be naturally friendly to a county in which it has large interests, although it makes no iron in it.

N TIER all. there is something in kPTA age and precedent and the full
 desire to uphold the. law as has been evidenced by Virginia jury and by Virginia officers in the condemnation and execution of J. Samuel McCue. former mayor of Charlottesville.
 To the credit of Virginia be it said that the law Is enforced. The murderer meets the penalty of his crime in the old com monwealth.
 Were such true in Alabama, and es- pecially in the Birmingham district, there would be less crime.
 A bit of Virginia justice demonstrated advantage. And really I believe that pub lie sentiment has within the past few months been aroused to such an extent that Alabama juries will soon be edu- cated to the Virginia standard of justice.
 The present cold winter in the North west seems to have had it's effect. as was evidenced by an Associate1@ 1@ress dispatch from Chicago In which the statement has been made that 4s7 home seekers had been sent to one county in Alabama re- gently. We all know how much the Gull man settlement has contributed to the state. Although the lands are poor the Germans who have moved into that oountv hava cultivated if to fba biphesf state, have prospered themselves and have contributed much to the comforts of Birmingham and the Birmingham dis- triet Cullman count alone has supplied quantities of fruits, vegetables, poultry, eggs and butter to the Birmingham mar ket. It has been pleasant to Birmingham and profitable to Cullman. The same may be said of the section about York and Cuba in Southwest Alabama, and in a few years, with an influx of intelligent foreigners who know how to cultivate the soil upon the intensive system, an ex- ample will be set to the Alabama farmer which will make this state one of the country.
