SOUTHERN ARCHITECTURE
Is Meeting Competition of the North
 and East.

New orleans, April l.)-The successful advance of southern architec- ture over the competition of the north and east was recently illustrated here in the award for designs for the new mil lion dollar court house to Thornton Marye, an Atlanta architect whose sue cess in costly construction in the past few years has outrivalled that of big eastern and northern concerns. The audi toriim for the Confederate Veterans reunion is now upon the square which will be occupied by the mammoth building. MT. Marye is a graduate of the Uniyer- sity of Virginia and has won out on his plans for number of notable south ern structures. among them being the big modern passenger station at Atlanta, the Mobile and Birmingham passenger stations. which were awarded to him unanimously over fifteen competitors from Chicago. St. Louis. Philadelphia and New York In the New Orleans court house plans Mr. Marye was the only south ern architect to enter.

OPINION DlVERSiF FED

New York, April 15.-The Carter handi- cap. the s10000 feature of the opening day of Metropolitan racing will be run
 at Aqueduct tomorrow. probably on a muddy track, because of the heavy rains today. The Carter has always been an
 interesting race, as it has furnished the
 first real contest between the better class
 of horses and has oft-times developed
 the horse of the year. This was notably
 the case in 1904 when the speedy Bedame
 romped over the seven furlongs of the
 Aqueduct course and won the first race
 of a year which proclaimed her a cham
 pion of the turf Last years Carter
 was won by Ormondes Right. who is
 again candidate this year.
 The Metropolitan season which begins
 tomorrow gives promise of being one of
 the most notable of recent years.
 After ten days at Aqueduct the racing
 scene changes to Jamaica with the Ex
 celsior handicap as the principal feature
 of the Metropolitan Jockey club. April

After one weeks racing at Gravesend. racing at Belmont park will be resumed for nine days, and then Gravesend has the racing privilege for two weeks. Then follows the Sheepshead Bay meeting, with the Suburban, to be run June H. and the Brighton Beach summer meeting, after which the August recess will be taken during the four weeks season at Sara toga.

Southern and South Atlantic leagues had formed d joint boycott against the big leaguers. The story, it is needless to say, is incorrect as no such combine is even intended President R. H. Baugh Of the Birmingham association, made an official denial of any joint boycott.
 There may be few instances in which certain big leaguers are not wanted in certain Southern cities, as Is the case with the New York Giants and Birmng- ham. These instances, however. are few and unrelated.
 Garvin is slated to arrive tomorrow.
 The knockers around the circuit who had few favorable words for the Barons before the season, have become silent. Facts did it.
 Only few more games before the Barons take the road. We need those games.
 
 Two mighty poor games were played yesterday. Looks as though Shreveport and Little Rock are weak.
 No admission was charged at the Brook lyn game yesterday It was not philan- thropy. however.

Intervention has long been commonly pracuseo
by many nations 1T is a cond1uon, hol
theory that confronts U.S.. Various powers
have for years been intervening, sometimes
with force for the satisfaction OF their subjects
contractual and other claims against tne re-
pubIics of the Caribbean and OF Centrai anu
South America. The question is not "helnei
such Intervention accords WIN thls vi l1"'
authority on international law, but what we
are going to do about it. One course "ouid oe
to stand aside and let Intervention run lt'
course in which case it would soon amount 10
.noIio+ion and that original Monroe Doctrine py
which Senator Rayner so firmly stands woula
hecope a dead letter. Another course "ouiu
no for lis to protest against ana forpid sucn
intervention, In which case we might stui"1y
orr own record and we should ceraiIH ee'
into worse controversies with otheF po"eio
than Mr.. Cleveland did in that fehezueiaii
venture of his which, we understand. Sehaoor
Rayner does not approve.
There is a third course and that Is Tue ohe
which President Roosevelt is pursuing and for
which Senator Rayner takes him 10 Idsh.
What is it? Not intervention, nor yet denial OF
intervention. but rather the DEVIATION of all
naed or occasion for intervention by benevo-
Ian+Iv assisting the republics in question: AT
their own cost and at no expense TO us, 10
moot and honorably discharge all honest clalIns
against them. That is precisely what Fresl-
dent Roosevelt has set out to do for the DO
r,inican RepubIic Yet Senator Rayner rejects
and denounces his policy as beretcaL Jener-
son when writing the Declaration of Indepen-
dence insisted that these states could 90 all
"acts and things which independent states may
"of right do: yet when he became president,
entangIed in the metaphysical subtetles OF
"strict construction" he was inclined TO deny
orr right TO do one of the most familiar ana I'M
questioned things which other states had been
doing from time immemorial- 1t seems TO us
that Senator Rayner is similarly at variance
with himself when he processes adherence 10
tbe nrinciple that we cannot permit ANY inter
nositjon for the purpose Of depressing me
other American republics, and yet insists that
we shall stand aside and let foreign govern
ments. in what he himself declares to be Vlo-
lation of international law, intervene at Will
for what may be the purpose of depressing
them. without even ascertaining whether the
n,1rnose is sheer oppression or is the satlsfac-
ton Of valid claims.
We repeat that the Maryland Senator $ speech
Is welcome and among the other reasons al
ready noted for this: That 1t shows how strong
and sound the Presidents policy must be when
even so thoughtful and scholarly criticism as
Senator Rayner's so completely fails to score
a single point against It

GorERYoR sToKEgs MESSAGE.

II was An interesting document that Governor
Stokes sent to the New-Jersey Legislature when
that body met yesterday. In view of the legls-
latiye sins of New-JerSey, perhaps il might have
been lust as we'll if the Governor in his intro
ductorv remarks had omitted the statement that
"our legislation has kept pace with the best
thought of the times and has led rather than
followed the trend of events" and his conclud-
ing remark that 1T is thus that New Jersey
has gained unchallenged pre-eminence." Still,
patriotic Jerseyman may be excused for enthusi-
asm There is no state debt, nor is there state
tax, and from the state treasury large sum is
contributed annually to the maintenance of local
schools throughout the state.
Governor Stokes again calls attention to the
unfortunate policy OF the state in parting per-
"manently with its riparian lands" and he
renews his recommendation that these lands be
not disposed of in the future in fee simple but
shall be leased rentals which at proper
periods may be readiusted on fair basis of in
creased value.
The. regulation of automobiles is one of the
principal topics treated. In spite of the legis-
lation of last year the Governor says that public
safety is still menaced by those vehicles. He
suggests the licensing of chauffeurs and that the
licenses be revoked for violation of the law. He
says too. that THE damage done through the
"use of these machines to the surface of our
''macadam and gravel roads should be COM
''pensated for" and that graduated license fee
for cars might be charged and devoted to the
repair of the damaged roadways.
Governor Stokes puts himself in line with the
best thought of the state in advocating return
10 the district system of electing Assemblymen.
They are now elected county tickets and, as
the Governor points out, "are selected as rule
'by a party organization by few prominent
party leaders" Representatives thus chosen
have the disadvantage of being under obligations
to the organization or to the coterie of indi-
viduals who have selected them, rather than to
a distinct constituency. The Governor well says
that such a system invites machine domination.
The constitutionality of the former law creating
and defining Assembly districts was passed upon
by the Supreme Court and the act wiped out,
but the case never carried to the Court of
Errors and Appeals. 1t is too late now for an
appeal on that case, but the Governor advises
that new law be passed and Immediately car
ried I'D TO the court OF last resort for adjudi-
cation. There seem 10 be fairly substantial rea-
sons for assuming that such a law, properly
drawn would stand the test, though, of course,
the Governor does not say so.
In brief reference to the lobby evil Governor

MOROCCO.

One of the most interesting points in the MO
rocco controversy, at least TO Americans, is thaC
this country is to participate in the conference
at AIgeciras Some have questioned the propri-
ETY. of its doing So but on unconvInclng GROUNDS
The United States is not a hermit nation. II
had q good deal of legitimate business TO Trans
act in that general region from ninety TO nun
bred and more years ago, and 1t mas never slnce
then renowned its interest in Africa On the con-
trary 1t has taken part IN the creation OF Liberia
and of the Congo State, and has maintained
representation in the international court of
Egypt 1t will be logical, consistent and alto
gether commendable for America to take part in
the disposition Of Morocco.
Another point worthy Of notice is that In this
conference Morocco itself will have little to say,
excepting to acquiesce in the decisions OF the
powers No initiative will be taken by the
Moorish representatives. No proposals will be
received from them. The powers are going to
dispose of Morocco In the way that peases
them, just as they have from time to time dealt
with Turkey and other dying nations, as the
late Lord Salisbury called them.
What, then, is the agitation about? Chiefly
questions of police administration and other
routine matters in none OF which is there any
thing remotely resembling q cause for war. Yet
people have been talking about the dangerously
strained relations" between France and Ger
many Why? Because while all are practically
agreed upon what must be done there Is as yet
no universal agreement as to who shall do it.
Great Britain, France and Spain long ago agreed
that France should do it, Morocco herself
acQuiesced in that arrangement Now Italy is
said to adhere TO it. But Germany objects, and
insists that she shall have hand in the matter.
That is the crux Of the case-whether France
shall take Morocco In hand alone, as the manda-
tory of the powers, or Germany shall participate
in the Job. 1t is a vexing question, considering
the rivalry between the two nations but we
cannot see that it contains within itself any
adequate cause of war.
