News of Shower In That State Means
 Great Deal.
 Hutchinson Independent.
 Its raining out in Kansas" The ticker in the brokers office in the mar kets of the world ticked off the news. and the man who deals in wheat and corn at once got interested. He look ed at the amount of futures" he had on hand, how much he had speculated on the wind. and the sun and the clouds, how much he had counted on the chincb bull and Providence, the Hessian fly and the self-binder. He took an invoice of his September sales of wheat when he heard of the rain out in Kansas, and immediately began to sell his stock. for the rain out in Kan- sas" meant millions of bushels more of wheat and ten millions less of chinch bugs and Hessian flies. 1t meant to the operator that watched the key and the ribbon on his telegraph instrument that wheat would be lower for Kan sas was one step nearer great har- 'Its raining out in Kansas" and the merchant put out under the awning tho rubber coat, the gum boot and the um- brellas, and he we1t back in the store and told the clerks ;o clean up tine stock, brush off the dust and get ready for big. day. as the rain had made just little more certain the crops the farmer will sell and consequently iit- tie more good for the farmer. the farm er's wife and the children. The mer- chant at once increased his order to the
 
 rain in Kansas" would increase his sales when the harvest time was over.
 Its raining out in Kansas and the farmer unfitches his team from &rhe lister and puts them In the barn ond gives them an extra armfuI of hay, while. he and his boys work around un- der the sheds, fixing up the blows on the corn cultivators, tightening the bolts on the "corn sled,s so when 1t clears and the ground is dry. there will be no delay in the farm work. He goes to the house long before dinner time. looks over his morning paper that Uncle Sam left at his door, but he reads not of the doings of the. world, thev interest him not. He is looking al the quarter that joins him on the south. He figures that the rain will add to his crop so he can buy new buggy for his wife, keep his boys and girls in school, save enough to send one to college and still add that quarter on the south" that is so green with alfal- ia. -
 The rain means millions to the brok- CT, tens of millions to the merchant, but 1t means far more to the farmer than the bling up of wealth. It speaks Plans never revealed until ready TOT execution Ii means the fulfillment of his hopes the accomplishment of that for which he had struggled, often Tn discouragement, but that for which he had faith in God. that the harvest would one day be fulfilled:
 A rain in Kansas disturbs the market prices of the world, but it settles the faith of the farmer in the promises of old "sow in the morn thy seed and withhold not thine hand.

came year before the tariff was re- vised. But this mumbllng about the evils of a former day will be the stock argument of the stand-patters to the end of time one can imagine Presi- dent Roosevelt, becoming Senator
 Roosevelt, rising in his place In l93O. with bent form and trembling voice to say: Yes, Senators. it is true that the Dingley tariff has outrageous feAtures, I felt them myself so strongly in 1904 that I prepared message to Congress on the subject. But suppressed 1t then, and would not renew Il now. No one who remembers the terrible depres- sion of 1893 as vividly as I do will ever consent to touch that tariff which alone saves this great nation, unrivalled in natural resources, preeminent in manu- factures. able to give the whole world thirty-love and beat 1t. from going to the poor house."

MR. PERKINS.

! TSs case of George W. Perkins Is semevhat peculiar one. ard illus- tratcs the way an official can violate the law and get not be guilty In the eyes of the courss. Briefly. John A.
 Mccall. President M the New York Life Insurance ComYsny. wanted to make contribution |. the Republi- can campaign fund In 1904. Probably having some doubt as to the propriety or legality of giving away the compa- ny's money for such a purpose he in- duced Perkins. another oficial of the company. to advance the money, as of l his own funds. and that he should be reimbursed, and Perkins did so. Then Mccall had the money returned to shim out of the company's funds, and 1t Is shown that the finance committee knew all about it and agreed to the sub- scription.
 On this state of facts Perkins was arrested on the charge Of larceny of trust funds. The arrest. 1t was, said, was at the instance eor on the advice of Justice Greenbaum. before whom the accused was arrai9ned. He sued out writ of habess corpus but Green baum dismissed 1t. insisting that Dis trict Attorney Jerome should prosecute the case. Perkins appealed to the Ap- pellate Court and that tribunal enan- imously decided against Greenbaum and ordered Perkins released. The court virtually holds that while the man may have been guilty of an im- propriety he had committed no crime for which he could be punished
 It wIIR perhaps be remembered in this connection that Mir. Jerome was openly opposed to the prosecution of Perixines. He insisted that the man could not be convicted and that he ought not to be prosecuted. For this he was harshly criticised, and 1t was intimated that he wanted to shield the officials Of the insurance company. We remember that some of the newspapers declared that he had disappointed his friends and was apparently standing .n with violators of the law.
 Aud vet Jerome was correct in his " fNettSiss %AO utu hct Dc4tVtS thab T VT k'ns could or should be convicted He aid not wish to punish an employe for doins what his employers told him to do while they went free. If crime hat been committed the chief officials who instigated it--ordered 1t, in fact were the men who were really guilty and who should be punished. Perkins was acting as the agent and employe of Mccall and the wrong he did was don obedience to the orders of those above him.
 This is only another instance of the manner in which persons in high posi- ton can escape the consequences of their misdeeds while their subordinates are ceEcIred for obeying orders. It was undoubtedly crime to use trust funds for political purposes. but the crime was committed by the bosses and managers of the company and not by the employees. Mccall and the oth- CT officials who directed and managed the affairs of the company were the guilty ones. but they escape while their tools bear the blame. And it iJ to be noted that Jerome's Judgment has been vindicated, for he didn't believe in commencing at the foot of the evil It is altogether a notable case.

The Bird. and the ponnet..

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 From many parts of the country have vanished the beautiful, harmless birds that either made fine melody or lent to the scene the flashing charm of color Robin, lark, thrush, oriole, yellow ham, mer, the tiny hummer--all have been ruthlessly slaughtered, martyrs to van ity. Some varieties are practically ex- tinct Unless the law shall prove suf- ffnient to save them, all will be slain and the land become birdless. There has been demonstration of the fact that no feminine sentiment on this subject can be aroused. Creatures of less vaiue than the birds are protected by law, and it is thigh time that the birds be recognized as having the simple right to live, which is all their friends ask the ladies to grant,
 Women could in season utterly de- stroy the traffic in dead birds. but they decline. If fashion continues to decree the wearing of the ghastly trophies. they will be worn despite any appeal and protest. unless this take the form of a statute so rigidly enforced and backed by fine that. as a measure If economy, the hat will have to be de- feathered. Then would arise a set of miiliners able to constr1ct 'confec- tion" in the hat line without the rav- aging of a single bird home. or the building of combination morgue and mlISeum.

 We have not seen the editorial in The Boston Transcript. but from The Butte Inter Mountain we take the fol- lowing reference to it:
 The Boston Transcript prints a re- markable editorial In which 1t sur mfses that no one knows the real mind of the President regarding railway rate regulation and that the niisunder- standing in which Messrs. Bailey, Till- man and Chandler became involved may have arisen from the fact that tho chief executive gave somewhat differ ent opinions to Mir. Chandler and MT. Lodge. The President" says The Transcript, talks a great deaf;" and he goes on to advance the theory that perhaps 1t is impossible for him to rec onciie all his theories or quite under stand, sometimes. what he thinks him- self. At all events, The Transcript boldly declares. those intimate with the chief executive know him for a trimmer. Ills public statements are made. with reservations so that when events have turned finally he may seem to be in the lead. This accusation. of Mir. Roosevelt will create surprise.
 The Transcript is one of the most conservative newspapers in the whole country, and one of the best informed, and it's opinions are certainly entitled to consideration. To our mind it hits off the President about right, when 1t speaks of him as a trimmer. for he has given many evidences of it.

Gadsden Times-News.
 The Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron Company is another of the iron manufacturing companies in this district that is supplanting negro with foreign white labor and while great many of the foreigners have not yet been brought to Gadsden by reason of the company's carefulness in mak- ing selections. those that are here are proving satisfactory. Some Poles and Germans have already been put to work at the local furnaces and 1t is said that their work is satisfactory. It is m 1erstood that the company is selecting the best element of these foreigners.
 A nnnber of Italians and Mexicans are being tried in the mines at Crud up and Attalla and the Southern Steel Company is trying Poles at the steel works. Negro labor has become so worthless in this district that 1t will of necessity be supplanted by foreign immigrants.

ENGLISH COTTON RAISING.

| We notice that the subject of cotton raising in the South by Englishmen is | again eeing discussed. Some British cotton men recently visited this coun- try and it is rumored that there may be concerted movement on the part of some of the great mill owners of England to come to the Southern States, buy or rent lands and en- gage in cotton raising for the benefit of the English manufacturers.
 We don't know that there is any thing very startling in this. even if the plan Is carried out though it's suc- cessful execution might bring up a serious competition among our own farmers. Of course an Englishman cannot come to this country and be- come a successful cotton grower by his own efforts. They know nothing of the business and would naturally fail to succeed. It will be remembered that immediately after the great war there were many Northern people who came down here for the same purpose. They had money, enthusiasm and gold
 en visions of the enormous profits to
 be derived from the business, for cot | ton then was selling at very high | prices, They knew nothing about growing cotton and evidently thought i that it was as easy as raising
 onions or cabbages. Most of them fail | ed, as was natural,
 It will be the same with an English
 man if he comes here with the belief
 that he can go right at the business
 and succeed, for they know nothing
 about it. But if they come to the l South and buy or rent cotton planta- | tions. and then employ competent and
 experienced managers they can suc-
 ceed. They may supply the money to | finance the business but they will be compelled to depend on Southern men
 of experience to superintend operations
 or they will fall. What effect on our
 own cotton growers such a movement
 would have is problematical. but we
 see no reason why it should be detri- mental. The farms and plantations
 would merely change hands. and there
 would probably be no more danger of an overcrop than there is at present.

The Administration Pooh Bah.

Baltimore sun.
 Immediately after the political cam paign was over MT. Cortelyou s-made Postmaster General, He did not resign the chairmanship of the National Com mittee, but held on to it like gripl death.
 President Roosevelt has let 1t be known in no uncertain terms that minor officeholders must not act as chairman of political committees. But, with his usual consistency, he used Cortelyou to retain his grip on the national. Repub- lican machine.
 The President himself has used the Federal offices continually to reward his friends and punish his opponents. Yet he likes to be known as the man who rises above party and this same pose is assumed by such eminent non- partisans as Chairman Postmaster General CortAlyou, who points to the g,ories of civil serevice with one hand and with the other holds the lever of the Republican machine.

Alabama will lose faithful friend and able representative from the halls of Congress by reason of the retire. ment on the 4th of March next of Hon. g J. Bowie. He has shown peculiar adaptability for legislative work and few men in recent years have accom- plished more for his people than stands to his credit. His retirement from Congress, no matter who may succeed him, will be a loss not only to the South.

How Bees Embaim.

Bees can embalm as we'll as any under taker All intruders on their lives are slain and embalmed carefully.
 If a worm, or roach. or any insect bIunders into a hive the bees fall upon him and slay him with their stings. To get the corpse out would be difficult therefore. embalming 1t. they let 1t remain.
 The embalming process of the bees is simple It consists of covering the corpse with a hermetic coat of pure wax. Within this airtight envelope the body remains fresh. It cannot in any way contaminate the hive.
 When a snail bunders in among the bees they cannot kill him on account of the pro- tection of his shell So they embalm him alive. They cover him. shell and all. with snowy wax. He Is prisoner whom only death releases.

THE UNIVERSITY.

The University of Alabama has been from the day of its opening, seventy five years ago, until the present time a great power for good. It has just entered upon a new life for as the years go by great institutions of learning become more and more benefi- cial and better prepared to accom- plish the purposes for which they were founded.
 The loyal sons of the University who have gone out from its influence and teachtpg are now gathered together from Al1 quarters of the country. and no doubt they will separate and go to their homes with fixed determinations to work for it's success with far great CT zeal in the future than they have in the past There is much they can do for the University is not receiv- ing the amount of money which can be usefuIly expended in the various de- partments All our people should feel pride in the institution and help to so equip it that no student need ever leave the State in order to finish his education in any line he may choose to follow. t
