Presidents Visit
To the IsthrnuS.

According to program President
Roosevelt sailed yesterday on the
battleship Louisiana for his much
heralded visit to the 1sthmus of Pan
ANA, where he goes to secure .infor-
maIlon relative to the Panama canal
at first hand and, although many have
seen fit to find fault with the action
Of the president, principally because
OF the fact that he is violating one of
the precedents of the presidency, to
the effect that a chief executive. dur
Ing his tenure of office, must not
leave the soil Of the United States,
there is no gainsaydng the fact that,
as the head of the nation which has
committed itself to this gigantic IN
dertaking, it is proper, almost, imper-
alive that he should be thoroughly
familiar with conditions upon the
isthmus as well as with work already
performed and work to be still per-
formed.
1t has been believed from the time
that the United States first secured
control Of the rights and franchises
OF the French Panama canal company
that the scheme was being exploited
to a certain extent, for the benefit oil
republican grafters and a few others
who were in the ring" and this be
lief has been intensified by the dis
closures OF reputable newspaper mer
who, have visited The isthmus and in
vestigated the methods that obtained
there. Probably the most notable o
these writers was Poultnay Bigelov
and, while the administration, through
Secretary Taft, made an attempt t.
. Offset the damaging testimony giver
by him in the public press, the effor
was pronounced failure and only re
suited in impressing more firmly tn,
belief that there was something do
ing" in the graft line In connection
with the canal work at Panama.
While the political policies of Mr.
Roosevelt have been much criticised

THE BOY IN POINT.

My name is Johnny, I'm the boy
/ Who asks all sorts of things
So Pa can make those bright replies
With real sarcastic filings.
I've got asked about divorce,
So Pa can start his bung;
I've got to ask Of politics,
So Pa can loose his tongue.
They amt the things / care about,
I've got thankless part,
To waste my time on silly stuff
So Pa can pose as smart
Now this is what often think
And makes me wonder so,
Why don't they print the things ash
That Pa don't even know.

A Tomato Orchard.

II you could keep the frost away
from a tomato vine for a couple of
years it would get to be a fair sized
tree. AT least the Texas Farmer says
so and claims that it actually occurs
sometimes in Florida-in years when
the frost king leaves that state alone.
by the same sign you can plant to-
matoes in winter in Florida and have
them grow all the spring and summer
and fall and under the right condi.
tons they become very large. The
midrib of the leaf of such a tomato
plant will grow to be eighteen inches
long, veritable tree limb.
AS a result of having seven acres
of winter tomatoes frozen out during
the great freeze in Florida one grower
learned something about how they
stake tomatoes in Mississippi. He
tried three-quarters of an acre of il
in Florida, and the rows of tomato
plants, hanging full of fruit, looked
like a dwarf fruit orchard.
1t takes lot of work, though, and
time to stake and prune tomatoes, but
for a kitchen garden supply, north OF
south, especially if space is limited
the method is ideal. Six feet is the
height to which the tomatoes should
be trained, and pruned to a single
stem. They can be made to grow
ten or fifteen feet as well, but this is
an inconyenient height.

New Source of Paper.

WV SS1fSC VI TdPCIs
A big opportunity for Southern
farmers is offered by the perfection
of new method of making paper
namely out of cotton stalks-accord-
ing to Frank N. Bauskett, who has
an article on this subject in the
November Technical World Magazine,
entitled New Sourcp of Paper" Ac-
cording to his authority, the practical
effect will be to increase the present
value of the cotton crop of the South
by nearly 100 million dollars annual
ly. Mr.. Harvie Jordan, president Of
the Southern Cotton Association, de.
clares that the manufacture of paper
from fiber of the cotton stalk is one
of the latest and most interesting in
veltiOns Of the new century. For
many years, expert inventors have
been busily engaged experimenting
with the cotton stalk, and recent de-
velopments give assurance that their
labors are to be rewarded with sig
nal success. Paper manufactured
from the cotton stalk is of the strong.
est texture and softest finish. Sew
eral plants will be erected during the
next few months in the south. which
will be in full operation within the
next year, Mr. Bauskett's article is
illustrated with reproductions from
photographs showing the machines
used in this new process Of manu-

tivity. If soft coal can be burned without creating smoke the market for soft coal would be widened. All ob- jections to soft coal would disappear.
 Possibly an agitation of this nature would be unproftable here while we have batteries of coke ovens at each end of the town with a huge power house in the center. In the long run the coke ovens will fall into disuse or be moved, and the power house will become outgrown, and then the smoke reform can be applied to Birmingham as readily as it can be to Pittsburg.
 The subject is one of importance, and when the right time comes it should be considered here with view to it's full and just application. We do not need a smoky Birmingham. The pure, clear air of Jones valley should go untainted within the city's limits.

Coal the Basis of Prosperity.

The three greatest nations of the world-the three richest and strong est-are America, Great Britain and Germany. They are the three greatest because they are the three coal-mining countries of the world. They mine four-fifths of the worlds coal. By virtue of coal" said member of par liament recently, i've live and move and have our national being"
 Alabama has as much coal as Great Britain had before it had mined a single ton, and there is no reason why coal and magnificent water powers should not make for wealth and great. ness here as they have in other coun- tries.
 Alabama far outranks in coal pro- duction the other cotton states. Ten nessee is a poor second, and the h. dian Territory comes next, followed by Arkansas. The coal production of Alabama just about equals the coal production of all the other cotton states, and the chances are that our production will rise faster than that of the rest of the cotton states. Last year our output was 11,S66,069 tons. In 1880 it was but 323,972 tons.
 When our water powers are fully developed and our coal deposits are worked up to a reasonable output, Alabama will be bustling, prosper ous state, and every part of it will feel the vim and impulse that such re- sources never fail to impart. We do not appreciate our own coal deposits. They are destined to make Alabama a state of rare prosperity and already the dawn of that prosperity is begin ming to be apparent. The story of the English Birmingham is to be repeated here.

EIihu Foot and Richard Cr0ker.

As a closing desperate expedient Boss Croker and President Roosevelt were pushed by the Hughes managers into the campaign directed against the democratic nominee for governor in New York The President did not ap- pear on the stump in person, but he sent Elihu Root to Utica to speak for him. MT. Roosevelt has a large fol- lowing, but MT. Root has none, and when the old time mouthpiece of the trusts spoke the people lost all inclina- ton to listen and obey. Richard Croker has no friends in the country he has deserted. Elihu Root and Richard Croker are famous, but neither is vote-getter. Neither changed a vote last week in New York. Perhaps no one could at this late day change votes in a war be- tween the masses and the classes certainly Root, with the taint of the trusts upon him, and Croker, with the taint of machine politics oozing out of him. could not do it. The introduction of the President in a yicarious man. ner and of the ex-boss living in Eng land simply shows how scared the re- publicans are, and the chances arc very good that the joint adventure has given Hearst additional followers.
 The charge made by the administra- tion that MT. Hearst virtually inspired Czolgosz to slay William Mckinley was a piece of demagogy that back woods stumper would reject as un- worthy. The bullet of Czolgosz was far-reaching and deplorable. It took, for example, Elihu Root from the trusts and unloaded him on the coun- try. But that bullet was prompted by a crazed brain, and the reform efforts of William Randolph Hearst had noth- ing to do with it.
 Whatever the result of the cam paign in New York may be it is reas- onably safe to say that neither Root nor Croker, both of whose pockets are crammed with money and securities drawn from the trusts. has injured MT. Hearst's standing before the people. They are powerful in some places, but on the hustings they are powerless, especially in New York, where they are well but not favorably known.

1 HE flood of magazines continues. \0 Every month marks the birth
 of a new publication and the departure of another argosy for the gold en shores of circulation and advertising patronage. One stands bewildered by the array of magazines already in existence and wonders when the limit will be reached It must be confessed that such ventures in a majority of cases have proved remarkably successful, but the output is increasing more rapidly than are magazine readers, if the views of local newsdealers coincide with those of men in a similar line of business in other cities. Hereafter we may expect to see rich men with individual magazines con- piled and printed for their own perusal and denied to the masses; so many classes of readers are directly appealed to that we may anticipate 'The Bag gage Smasher's Journal" "The Window Cleaners Companion "The Washlady's s Home Journal" "The Burglars Review"
 'The Spinster's Comfort" and monthly "Who's Who," for the bunco steerer. It will soon be harder to find names for new magazines than it is now to find them for Pullman cars.

Peary and the Pole.

Commander Peary left Sydney, Cape Breton, on July 26, 1905, to find the north pole. He had made eight pre- yious attempts to reach the inhospita- ble spot, and the ninth voyage enabled him to reach point 203 miles from it. No living person has approached it that closely.
 The gap of 203 miles was simply be. yond the powers of the experienced and hardy explorer. Drifting ice fields and open water confronted him, and, what is worse, the ice had destroyed his food supply-his caches. Without food in sight for prolonged stay and on drifting ice, he at length reached the northern coast of Greenland Gin strengthened condition" His condi- tion can be imagined, for his brief ler- ter virtually says the killing of musk oxen enabled his party to return along the coast to his good ship, the Roose' welt, which he extols as a magnificent ice fighter and sea boat.
 Commander Peary does not say tha. he is returning home, but the presump- ton is that he will soon get into water that is not beset with fields of ice. If he is coming home, he must be fully satisfied that the uncovered gap oi 203 miles is beyond human endurance ard human skill, unless indeed it can be covered in balloon trip. The Peary efforts do in fact commend the Wellman scheme for reaching the pole. Whether we consider trip to the pole desirable or undesirable, some one will go there, and the balloon plan seems to be the best way to overcome the difficulties that forced Peary back to Greenland, although he went out "to give the pole the hardest try" it had had yet.
