 In his report showing that in the last four years not less than $ll6. .7S5,0 ,000 has been invested in manufacturing enter prises in the States of the Southeast penetrated by the lines of the Southern Railroad, it's industrial agent does not estimate a multitude of minor invest ments too small for accurate tabula- tion.
 These, though singly not important enough to be statistically recorded. make up in the aggregate tremendous force for the development of the South. Their numbers show that the South is most inviting field for the manufac- turer or the artisan of small capital
 Small furniture factories. here and there little shop for the manufacture of electrical fixtures. a little foundry. little cotton or woolen mill have been in that country and still are only the beginning of larger things.
 As MT. Richards points out, industrial developments of nearly every kind in that part of the country, not excepting the cotton mills. are very generally a development from small beginnings, and the means of growth are supplied by theIr own earnings.
 There is no more promising field for competent and enterprising men who have accumulated a small capital for investment.

GOOD RuT DIFFICULT.

The Tallahassee. (Fla.) True Demo- crat advises that great care should be taken that none but the very best men should be elected to the next Leg islature from every county" Good ad- vice, but hard to follow. As The Jack sonyille Times-Union says, it often comes to pass that the man who aspires to a position because he has ideas of how he can best serve the people and who intends to leave self out of con alteration is defeated by one who has no ideas at all except the advancement of self. The latter wins some voters by remembering their names and pro- fessing great friendship for them when ever he meets them. He wins others by drinking with them or sharing in their vices. Of course the best man is often elected. but he is not often elect ed because he Is the best man. The demagogue has the advantage over the statesman in running for office, unless he is too manifestiy demagogue."
 As long as parties are supreme there is no certainty of getting the best man for an onice. If the Republicans nom- mate a wholly unit and unworthy man for offlce and the Democrats put out a candidate who Is no better what are the voters of each party to do but vote for the man chosen? The name of ''bolter'' has driven many a good and patriotic citizen to vote for unworthy men for important offices. and the consciousness that the candidates nominated by the two parties were not such men as good citisens should support has caused many others to refuse to vote at all.
 The late elections. in various States and cities of the East, North and West naaslxed change in this respect which may or may not be permanent. but it was encouraging. The people refused to recognize the doctrine that a nomi- nation Is unalterably binding on every member of a political party, and pro- ceeded to exercise their own judgment regardless of party labels. In most cases the result was both creditable and encouraging.
 What our Florida contemporaries have to say about their own State will apply everywhere. The people them selves are the source of all power, and 1t is with them to demand and enforce on their parties the selection of good men and to refuse to vote for any others. A few lessons of this kind, properly rubbed in. would give political leaders to understand that the dumb cattle electorate is out of style, and that the people will vote for good men or refuse to vote for any. The position of legislator is a much more important one than many people anpear to think. The making of good

New Haven Register.
 We regret exceedingly the publica- ton of the recent correspondence be- tween President Roosevlt and Henry M. Whitney of Boston, which seems to have been printed at the instigation of the former. though given out by Whitney was at liberty to print the letters. President Roosevelt practical iy dared him to do so. confident that he would get the best of the show down.
 As matter of fact, President Roose- welt, whom we all admire in an affecy tionate way, appears at his worst in these letters. He tested his good breeding to the limit when he scolded and his fellow delegates, who called to present petition for freer trade with Canada and South America, because, as he alleged, Mfr. whitney made use stump in the recent Massachusetts cam paign. In a letter written at once to the President. Mir.

 This is an extraordinary rebuke for man of his great dignity to adminis- ter, and if today he does not regret having made it, he will have to part with a bit of the public confidence he possessed as a square dealer. The Hartford Courpnt, which admires him to the ground, Is forced to admit that he does not appear at his best in these letters. It says: Theodore Roosevelt Is by nature an impetuous man and a quick-tempered man. as everybody knows. Anger flames up in a tempera- mert like his with a leap. and hotly Ho Is a Christian man, however in high office. with n serious sense of his duties and responsibilities" We have no exception to take to any one of these three assertions. but when his temper so far gets the better of him as to officially blacken the reputation of a man who has just been almost elected to the second highest ofice in the gift of the people of Massachusetts, while standing as a Democrat upon exactly the platform that elected Mir.

l The Washington Times is very much l inclined to the opinion that the pres
 ent session of Congress is going to be
 very much mixed affair. It declares | that If the present session should ac-
 complish nothing with either railroad
 rates or tariff, the next House would
 be comfortably Democratic" Tn that
 case we could almost wish that noth- ing will be accomplished. for the coun- try needs break in the one party rule which has already lasted too long. And when we look at the existing and prospective conditions there is room
 for grave doubt of the accomplishment
 of anything definite on the two im-
 portant objects designated by The
 Times. If the President thinks he
 can push through any definite, weli-de. fined and effective legislation on tn.
 rate question we are of the opinion
 that he has not fully calculated the ob-
 stacles in the way. He will find in both
 branches of Congress an opposition that cannot be brushed aside by any efforts
 of his own. and 1t Is at least possible
 that the end will either be a total fail- ure or a compromise measure that will accomplish nothing.
 The same may be said of the tariff.
 There will be a determined effort on
 the part of the and-patters and soms others to ignore the tariff entirely dur ing this session. but it must not be forgotten that there is a strong sent iment, East, West and South in favor of revision and modification and that And failure on both these lines means a Democratic House, we are told by Tho Times. That would be some compen- sation. and it is at least possible that entire failure would be better than compromise.
 But it Is not merely that there are
 such diverse and antagonistic opinions
 on what The Times looks on as the two paramount questions that will occupy
 the attention of Congress, for there will be others. The canal matter bids fair to be an exceedingly live wire and may consume a great deal of time. The Statehood question will be up. and there
 are likely to be other matters about which there will be decided differences
 of judgment and opinion. All in all, the prospects for Republican harmony
 are not bright. nor is it yet apparent
 that Roosevelt will have smooth sailing
 on his pet projects. If the Republicans
 get into cat and dog fight which will
 lose them the next House will the country be the loserf

 Russia formed one great group; Ger many. Austria and Italy another; while England was kept in what was happily called splendid isolation" The dual alliance has not yet been formally an- r1fUaied; Russia and France are still on good terms; but Russia no longer counts as an effective force to be used in time of emergency. Not only Is she crippled beyond immediate repair in military power. but no one knows what a day will bring forth in the way of governmental changes of the most rad- ical character Her disappearance as a power to be reckoned with would have left France without an available ally had she not been swift to take advant- age of the English feeling toward her; at the same time 1t has removed one great element of danger from Germany. Formerly that country had two from tiers to protect, and could never Tor moment forget that a great Power stood in readiness for invasion just out side her eastern limit. That danger Is past, and Germany is in position of greater freedom from apprehension of a serious kind than she has been since the close of the war with France. On the other hand, the alliance of England with France and Japan leaves Germany nractically in a position of isolation; for Italy is not to be counted on for eficient support, and Austria is in such a condition that the death of a single man may precipitate the dismember- ment of the Empire. Moreover. Italy has always had a strong sentimental regard for France. which the irritGtions of the past few years have not destroy ed, and the feeling between the two countries is so warm that it is doubtful if in any event Italy could be brought in line~in ah active movement against France.
 These facts explain the recent haras- sing diplomatic activity of the Emperor William, who is not content to be left in isolation. and who is naturally irri- tated by the friendly relations between France and England, and still more by the alliance between England and Ja- pan.

In one case a man convicted of living in adultery was sentenced to three months Imprisonment or fine of ss0, He paid the fine and went forth free man. An- other man was convicted of stealing a mule from a negro and got sentence of thirty months in the penitentiary. our contemporary thinks there is some thing wrong when a man who has open ly violated the laws of God and man. and desecrated the marriage relation. should get on with but one.tenth the prison sentence~-even if he could not have paid out with money--that was given another for stealing mule. If we might offer a thought it would be that both of thcm got off very light, Perhaps the mule wasn't worth much, but we agree with The state that the punishment was somewhat inconsistent in the two eases,

wiu Announce For congre...

Dothan siftin1s
 : MT. Harry Martin, of Ozark. was in our office yesterday.
 From what we learn from this, gem tleman, he will in a few days. an nounce himself for Congress in oppos- ition to Henry D. Clayton.
 MT. Martin has. through his paper, The Tribune. been criticising MT. Clay ton for some time, and 1t was evident from such that was said that Mir Mar. tin was opposed to Mir. Clayton and would welcome the announcement Of some one in this district to oppose the present member of Congress from this district. As no one has shown any disposition to enter the race Mir. Mar tin will take the stump himself and ask the coters of this district to choose between him and MT. Clayton.
 Mir. Martin did not authorize the sif- tings to make this announcement, but since he affirmed so positively that he was coming out, we take the lib- erty to say to the friends of MT. Mar tin that they will have an opportuni- ty to cast their vote for another than Henry D. Clayton.
 We were somewhat surprised to learn this piece of news, but this Is q free country and Mir, Martin has the same right as any other gentleman to run for Congress If he wants to.

The Portland oregonian takes quite q discouraged and discouraging view of Republican politics in Oregon. It says bankruptcy has ensued because the party has for forty years been devoted to Mitchell and the Mitchell brand of politics. As 1t sees 1t, the party is dis credited on one side because those who have led 1t. or have been prominent in 1t. have worked merely for mercen- ary motives. regardless of principle. On another side 1t Is in didiculties because --under the new primary law--ipitia- five from any quarter is practically im- possible. Tho old leadership is discred- tied; the primary law makes new lead ership for the present impossible. Party paralysis is the result. Nothing like 1t ever was seen.''
 Not cheerful outlook, truly, but If it is any consolation to our disgusted contemporary 1t can find conditions equally discreditable in some other States which have been controlled by the Republican Party and its policies. New York. Kansas. Pennsylvania and a few others are almost in the same boat with Oregon. as far as party discredit is concerned. The remedy is a change of politics.
