New First Baptist Church.

q have been far and seen much" said a visitor to the city yesterday, and I have just taken a look at the new First one of your principal residence streets. It will be a majestic structure, and If 1t does not eclipse anything in- the South, it will have few equals.
 Montgomery will be justly proud of this handsome place of worship and the Baptists of your city deserve great praise for attempting such an enter price. Stone throughout with ample room for all requirements of a modern church, and occupying an entire block facing four streets, can picture no better building or location"

To the Editor of The Nashville Banner
 It is stated that the Secretary of a Birmingham commercial organization has opened a correspondence with the famed German Krupps and hopes to induce them to establish q plant at Birmingham for the manufacture of heavy ordnance to supply guns for our South Atlantic and gulf ports of Mexico nearby governments ports of Mexico and South America. All honor to this brainy, resourceful Secretary, who doesn't await prompting from others, but creates ideas and goes for busi- ness.
 Permit me to make suggestion in this line: Suppose that friendly con- test be started between the secretaries of business organizations of Nashville Birmingham and Chattanooga to se- cure manufacturing plants and award a liberal cash prize to the one who secures the largest invested capital in same for his city. The writer will cheerfully contribute to such contest What say the business organizations of cities named to this? Get down to hammer and tacks. gentlemen, and let the year 1906 be recorded in the South a business hummer.
 Go Ahead"
 Why not Montgomery take a hand in this suggested contest. Let us put all secretaries of our Southern commer- cial associations on their metal.

 This Poet was noted for repartee but we don't think any man that ever lived succeeded in lying smoothly to his wife.

An Inspection That Inspects.

Controller Ridgely Is giving gratifying
evidence Of a purpose to apply to the full
the powers vested in him by a recent act
of Congress authorizing him to inspect
certain financial Institutions located In the
District. but organized under the laws of
the states. This statute merely gave him
permission to cause examinations to be
made into the condition Of any Of these
banks and. upon discovering that condi-
ton to warrant. to take possession Of the
bank In the manner provided In the case of
national banks. 1t did not require him so
to do and there was possibly an impression
that he would content himself with a per-
functory inquiry into the securities and
balances and allow the institution to pro-
coed under the vague menace of closure in
case of trouble.
1t appears from the controllers action IN
closing the doors Of two local banks re-
Gently that he is bent upon conducting an
inspection that actually inspects and there
by keeping these institutions strictly up
to mark in the matter of their transactions
and condition He has given every one of
the banks of this class a warning that they
must heed and has thereby safeguarded
the interests OF depositors. The banks
that have been subjected to the scrutiny
VI tHe anu nave passed I'M
scathed are the stronger in the public es-
timation than before. In the case Of one
Of the closed institutions. a branch of
bank located in Montana. no serious harm
has been done by the controllers action
In the case Of the other bank the closing Of
the doors has promptly resulted in a change
OF methods and 1t is expected that bust
ness will be at once resumed on a sound
basis
These two closures by order Of the con-
troller have absolutely no sinister signif1-
canoe whatever. They do not reflect any
strain In the local money market, or any
lack Of confidence In the strength of the
local institutions. They are rather whole
some signs of better ways and means of
supervision and guarantees against future
trouble. Washington is to be congratu-
lated upon enjoying the protection of this
law and its application by an efficient con-
troller of the currency.

The Salton Sea.

For two years engineers have been la
boring In the desert lands of California
trying to undo their own work. They had
managed, in previous operations aimed at
the irrigation of the low Salton basin in
San Diego and Riverside counties, to turn
the great Colorado river completely out of
its channel into the waste stretches. They
had wanted water, but they got too much
of it. Instead of irrigating the Salton
basin they inundated it. 1t became in
truth. in ancient name. the Salton sea-
The Colorado poured into the low level SO
furiously that villages were destroyed and
the tracks OF the Southern Pacific railroad
were several times shifted = to avoid the
flood. Over a million dollars was spent in
efforts to restore the river to its former
channel and reduce the level in the basin
TO a reasonable point. The problem seemed
beyond solution. Some biologists averred
that the river was in truth following an
ancient channel and with the aid Of man
was restoring conditions existing before the
beginning of known records and that there
was a likelihood OF the recreation of q
great sea covering the entire valley be-
tween the San Jacinto and the San Ber-
nardino mountains.
The apparently impossible has been ac-
complshed. according to a dispatch just
received from the west. The Colorado river.
1t is stated. has at last been restored to
its former channel and for the first time
in two years its waters are flowing into the
Gulf of California. Just how this feat has
at length been performed will be a matter
of keen interest to the engineering world.
The menace of complete Transformation
of the lower portion Of California has
passed. and the irrigation work can now
proceed upon a safe basis. unless the Colo
RADIO once more breaks its banks and turns
into its ancient course. to thwart again the
plans of man.

Smoke and the Railroads.

Commissioner Macfarland's remark to
the engineers OF the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore and Ohio roads yesterday while
inspecting the new tunnel leading into the
union station that the locomotives for use
In this service should be operated by cleo
trtcity voices the general sentiment OF this
community. 1t is the ardent hope Of the
District citizens that this great terminal
equipment Will be made ideal In every de-
tail. and that It will establish q standard
of perfection for all American cities to
copy In their future works. One of the
items Of reform especially desired is the
elimination Of the smoke nuisance. not
only In the tunnel, but in and around the
station building and its elevated an
proaches. The present smoke law does not
apply to steam railroads. and the effort
OF last winter to secure legislation specif-
ically giving II such application failed.
1t Is therefore possible for the railroad
companies to conduct operations at the
station in such a manner as to maintain a
smoke nuisance of great proportions and
menace the appearance Of not only the
station building itself. but the public
buildings In the nelghborhood.
The United States government Is likely

Croker Explains Tammanv.

Richard Croker. fresh from his triumph
in his libel suit. is explaining Tammany
Hall to his Irish neighbors. In an inter-
view printed in Dublin he says:
TT Is q case Of giving a dog a bad name
II any one connected with the organization
however insignificant his position, does
anything dishonorable, Tammany Is
blamed.
1.-The reformers never did anything for
New York. The great bridges the elevated
railroad, the public buildings and every
thing are the work Of Tammany. II there
was corruption. why did not the district at
torney prosecute somebody? Tammany
Hall has succeeded entirely ON its merits
1t 10 the most democratic institution in the
world. If anything 10 wrong with It, then
something IL wrong with the people them
selves"
The last sentence contains an indisputa-
BILE proposition. Tammany whenever In
office has been put there by the people.
and In that way the people have been re-
sponsible for its performances. This was
true in Tweed's day. All the robberses
committed by Tweed and his friends grew
out of opportunities afforded them by the
people at the polls. Tammany had been
voted In by an electorate careless Of or
Indifferent to. its duties and Tammany
rioted in plumber. If the voters had been
more watchful, more strict in their exam

would have been defeated, and the public

ton. may be applied to the present situa-
ton in New York. II Mr.. Murphy Is q
man Of power and moving to exercise his
power against the best interest Of the state,
the people are responsible. Only q year
ago they reinvested him with that power.
They knew him quite as well then as they
know him now. He was a well-developed
public menace then. But the voters, with
their eyes open. chose Mr.. Murphy, and
are today responsible for him. Had they
elected Mr.. Ivins-a well-Qualified man of
would be today neither a Murphy menace
nor Hearst menace.
We often complain that foreigners are
slow in digesting US as a people. and that
some OF them find the task quite impossible.
But, really. should we wonderf Is there a
people on top of ground fuller Of contradio-
lions? Do we always understand our-
selves? This Murphy episode is curiosity
in the way Of tangies and twistings. His
closest allies Of last year are his ,batterest
opponents today, while the man who accused
him of the most fragrant crimes In his
support OF Mcclellan for mayor IL In secret
conspiracy with him today for votes in the
gubernatorial race.
Mr. Croker Is right in placing the respon-
sibility for whatever Tammany may be
upon the people. They know the organiza-
ton thoroughly, and that it Is never worthy
of confidence. Now they coddle it, and now
they trounce 1t. as the weak and too fond
mother does her scamp of boy.

Mr.. Cannon at Home.

RI Mr.. Cannon. after visiting number of
states and speaking for others, has drop
ped in on the home folks and made a few
"incongruvtal remarks" for himself. He is
a good man. worthy of reelection and will
be reelected. He has no democratic oppo-
nent. The other side complmented him
this time by refusing to make a nomina-
ton. 1t was an act creditable to the spirit
of the district. Mr.. Cannon is now a lead
Ing factor in his party's national equation
Another republican House will mean an
other term for him as Speaker, and that
will encourage his friends to boom him
afresh for the presidency. All of this is
pleasing even to the democrats among his
constituents. and as they are in the minor
ity they surrender nothing by leaving him
unopposed. AS rule our politics Is a
strenuous and an unsentimental game, but
now and then there are exhibitions of most
generous feeling. as in this case.

the two congressional Office buildings. not
to mention the structures now contem-
plated for addition to the great group
around the Capitol plaza. When every
passenger train headed for and leaving
Washington Is accommodated within a few
blocks of this important governmental
center the atmospheric conditions In GER
tain phases of the wind will be intolerabla.
1t Is unfortunate that Congress did not
see fit at the last session to interpose It's
positive prohibition of smoke emissions in
the railroad service. The enactment OF the
desired statute would have given the rail-
roads ample time to comply with the al
tered conditions.
Commissioner Macfarland's remark was
Inspired directly by the smoke In the tun-
nei which. In case Of the use OF steam To-
comotives In the actual service. will con-
stitute an unbearable offense against the
health and comfort of passengers. But IL
the tunnel nuisance Is abated by the use
OF electric motors there is good reason why
this reform should extend to the northern
approaches to the terminal. The mere fact
that the smoke of the locomotives Is not
confined In tunnel does not lessen the
menace to the city's attractiveness. while
the concentration of the northern and west
ern traffic on this viaduct approach and
at the station itself will unquestionably
have deleterious influence upon the
health of residents within wide area If
soft coal is permitted as a fuel in the loco
motives. The short and straight cut to an
ideal terminal lies through an extension of
the anti-smoke law to the railroads. leaving
it to-them to adopt whatever means of trac-
ton may be available without the produc-
ton of smoke.
