PUTTING TT PLAINLY.

The Washington Post speaks out ve- ry plainly when 1t discusses the altogether scandalous Statehood bill which recently passed the House, Among other things. It says:
 New England has twelve members in the United States Senate, and you may throw all New England into either Arizona or New Mexico. and 1t would comitatus to find it. Filing the six New England States. one at time. into different ouarters of the propo yed new State and thev might ceaselasslY tramp around for a twelvemOnth without any one of them corrine in contact with any other of them in their bew'ldered wan deriugs The excuse is that the two Territories are deserts; hut either of them. sktllfullv managed. will yield more aEricUltural products than all New England.
 Those statements, and they are true, dispose of such arguments as the friends Of the joint Statehood measure advanced in support of their action. As a matter of fact, there have been no arguments In favor of the outrage that would or could be considered eredita- bie. Those who voted for the bill might as well admit the truth and have done with 1t, The President. for reasons of his own. demanded that Arizona and New Mexico should be tied together and admitted as one State. and some of the C0ngressmen dared not oppose him because they found that he would use his official power to force

KICKING WITHOUT CAUSE.

Some men and papers ought to think twice before they speak. First 1t was de- clared by some of those hungering and thirstins for a grievance. that 1t was an awful crime in the State Com mittee to have so arranged that the counties could hold primaries for coun. ty offices. at their convenience and pleas . ure. It was held up as dire specimen of anti-Comerism. the argument being that the corporations would capture the counties by detail. Of course. this was discounting the good sense and patriotism of the people themselves in the various counties. but little thing like that never bothers those who are going arours with chips on their shoul. esty of all others who do not think along their narrow ruts.
 Here comes The opeiika News with this choice morsel:
 Soon after the adjournment Of that committee this paper suggested that the people keep their eyes open and note where the local county committees began to get in their work. This was the plan had been adopted in the inter- est of the railroad orpcrations, and ing their control in tho Alabama Leg

 A little reflection would have con vinced The News that before the coun- to meet the Crenshaw county committee had met and ordered primary Tor the 2sth of January This may have been ordered before the State Commit tee met. but it was in accord with the spirit of the state cornmittco of al- lowing the counties to settle es and matters for themselves. The chair man of the crenshaw county commit tee. if we mistake not. is an ardent supporter of Mir. Conner and it is just as fair to charge corporation influence with having ordered an early prima- " in Crenshaw. as to make that charge against the county committee Of Ribb. Dallas county and several other couu- ties have ordered primaries for March or April and no doubt a great many others will do the same. The railroads have nothing to do with it.

TaIIadega Marble.

IallaueBa MOuntdln Homo.
 The name and fame of Talladega marble now promises to reach the place which it has so long deserved The first occasion we know of 1t coming in- to national prominence was in 1851 when the Grand Lodge of Masons of Alabama presented a block to be in- serted in the Washington monument The rough stone was taken from the quarry near Sylacauga then owned by Dr. Edward Can't. It was hauled to Talladega,- distance of twenty-odd miles when it was wrought into the form required by the monumental com mittee and received the inscription or dered by the Grand Lodge The block now completed, was securely packed and carted to Rome, Ga, thence by rial to Charleston and by sea tt Bal timore. where 1t was again handled by rail to Washington and placed in the monument. and t)r more than half century has attracted the admira- tions of thousands.
 Talladega marble rivals the noted Carara stone and has in instances been mistaken for the famous Italian pro- duct Numerous deposits are found in the county and in time will have their just appreciation. Tn today's Home IS recorded a twelve thousand dollar sale of the Mckenzie quarries four miles south of the city, which in the belief of the famous Italian sculptor, Signor G. Morretti, is just the beginning.

The Editor of "COiton" Tells What the
 Roads Have Done.

H. E. Harmon in Cotton"
 Many people forget that there are two sides to the railway question.
 The South today s reaping harvest ! the fruit of seeds sown by the railways ten and twenty years ago.
 All the roads have encouraged the bui ing of cotton mills by giving very low rates on machinery, on raw cotton and on the manufactured goods Every large road keeps a force of men to bring in new settlers. new ,industrles and now capital.

The road enc outraged tobacco growing in every way and i'm along the Coast Line was 60, ,000, ,OO0 pounds of the finest leaf in the world.
 The, Central of Georgia has made Georgia the greatest of all peach grow branches into the orchards and with its connections runs fast special trains in the season to hurry the fruit to mar ket. I have known the Southern to run a special with just one car of fruit, 200 miles. so that 1t would not be held over few hours for regular train.
 Had it not been for Mir. Flagler's in Florida East Coast Road. all that part of the State would still be undeveIoped, inaccessible and thinly settled with a poor population instead of. being as il Is, highly prosperous section,

Birmingham Ledger,
 While Colonel Mann is undergoing a terrific punishment in the press of the United States. it Is fair to remember that he was a real soldier In the real war He was a Michigan man. helped to organize and send to the front the 1st Michigan Cavalry, the 5th Michigan Cavalry and two horse batteries. He went himself and was made a Colonel
 After the war he care to Mobile and was editor of The Mobile Register There he helped expose the terrible in- fanny of the reconstruction period. He made a gallant fight Tor the South in those dreadful days.
 Colonel Mann invented a sleeping car infinitely superior to the Pullman car The last of these cars were run on the Alabama Great Southern, and are well remembered The Pullmans bought the Mann cars and suppressed them.

 That Is one of the discreditable req sons why some Congrcssmen support ed a measure which they knew to be wrong, and there was another which was equally unworthy a member of Congress. That was 10 get the new State of Arizona into the Union so as to be sure of two Republican sena- tors. Thus we see that the fear of Roosevelt's dispieasure. the desire to secure patronage from him and the partisan determination to assure two mote Republican Senators. all acted together to control the action of ma jority of Congressmeh who desire to force miscegenatioE on two, unwfli- ing territories.

 The Mayor is being constantly be- steged by poor and destitute people for assistance" continued the citizen. "and the Mayor has no funds at his command for alleyiating the suffering There is hardly day passes that sev- erat poor, poverty-stricken people do not call at the Mayors office for as- distance. 1t frequently happens that penniless, sick and indigent persons apply for railroad transportation, hav- Ing been sent to Montgomery froW other cities.

'sThe statement made by The Adver- tiser," said Federal official yesterday, that Mir. C. w. Haden, who has just been appointed Chief Deputy by United States Marshal J. H. Judkins, held the same office under Marshal W. H. Tis- dale, is on error.
