SURVIVAL OF THE 'FITTEST
How the Rule Has Worked Out
Through Protection.

How the Rule Has Worked Out
Through Protection.
The survival of the fittest Is a rule
that has evidently applied to the pro-
tective tariff and the demise of free
trade. The question, however Is not
one of principle, but of policy only.
The fact that England is a free trade
country, so called, does not show that
her policy would also be a good one for
us to follow. Great Britain has needed
in the past as she now needs, quantities
of food products vastly in excess of her
own comparatively small domestic sup
ply. In manufactures she led all the
nations of the world so far that no
serious menace to her manufacturing
in pursuance of that policy her gain in
wealth has been enormous, though not
so great comparatively as has our own.
1t Is the brain of the Anglo-Saxon-
again the survival of the fittest-that
causes both nations to lead the world.
The evils of free trade are, however,
now beginning to crop out in the moth
er country. The agricultural interests
have been ruined by it, and a rush to
the cities has been caused. This has
resulted, we are told, in great poverty.
as the overcongestion of population al
ways does.
The very first congress of the United
States adopted the policy of the pro-
tective tariff for the selfsame reason
that led England, under Golden and
Bright, to adopt free trade.
The United States has enjoyed and
is still enjoying the greatest accumula.
ton of wealth in the history of the
world. Most important of all is the
fact that the decline of no interest, of
no calling or of American manhood
has marked the progress of that in
crease.
In other words, by means of the pro-
tective tariff system we have been able
to build upon a solid foundation, while
England's prosperity has been raised
upon the devil take the hindmost"
principle-the free traders idea.-Ports-
mouth On. h Chronicle.

Enrique Cortez, the new Colombian
minister to the United States, was
received by the president Thursday.
Senior Cortez was accompanied to the
White House by Secretary Root The
minister referred to the growing i'm

world power as of importance and
delicacy in the American continent

in origin, religion and language"
which situation, he said, calls for q

The skin of his face and hands, olive

The skin of his face and hands, olive
tinted with exposure. his dark hair and
the curved eyelashes, which dropped
over his blue eyes, no less than the ar
tistic proclivities suggested by his well
chisled features and long, tapering fin
gers, proclaimed that StanhOpe, not
withstanding his Saxon surname and
bluff bearing, was Celt. His mother,
in fact, was a Tregarthen of Cornwall,
daughter of peer and leading figure
in local society.
One may ask, "Why should youth
of good birth and social position be
on such terms of easy familiarity with
two girls, one Of whom was the daugh-
ter Of lighthouse keeper and the other
her sister by adoption"
Indeed great many people did ask
this pertinent question. Among others,
Lady Margaret Stanhope put 1t often
and pointedly to her son without any
cogent answer being forthcoming.
If she were denied enlightenment, al
though her maternal anxiety was justi-
fable, the smokers on the pier, as rep
resenting the wider gossip of the town,
may also be left unsatisfed.
"This is nice thing" he cried when
he came within speaking distance of
the girl in the boat. II manage to bam-
boozle the admiral out of three days
leave and rush to Penzance to be told
that Constance and you are off to the
Gulf Rock for the day. 1t is too bad Of
you, Enid"

winks exchanged among the human
sparrows lining the rails.

Nothing of the sort, Jack" inter-
posed the other girl quietly, taking
from his arm the waterproof cloaks he
was carrying for her. You know Lady
Margaret would be very angry, and
with very good reason. Moreover, dad
would be annoyed too"
1.-THE old girl is going out this after
noon," he protested.
'And she expects you to go with her.
Now, Jack, don't let us quarrel before
we have met for five minutes. We will
see you tomorrow"
He helped her down the stone steps.

you must promise to drive with, me to
Morvah in the morning. l will call for
you at IL sharp"
''What pity you can't sail out to the
rock with us tod Tomorvah is so
distant"
The mink lifted her blue eyes to his
with such ingenious regret in them
that Stanhope laughed, and pipes were
shifted to permit the listeners above
their heads to Singer approval Of her
quip.

 QueHtiOns.


 The Alabama Railroad Commission viii hold it's February peeting next Tuesday in the offices at the Capitol.
 This meeting is anticipated with a great deal of interest inasmuch as the settlement of the cotton rate question will be likely brought about. As a matter of curious interest, the question of whether the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company Is to be classified as a common carrier and put sion is also expected to be determined Tuesday By the series of charters which this corporation has 1t has the explicit power to haul freight over It's lines and for this reason, upon the original suggestion of President B. B. Conner, the Commission summoned President Robert Jemison, of the street car company, to appear before the tri- bunal and show why 1t should not be required to file its tariffs with the Com mission as do the regular carriers an- nually.
 At the December meeting MT. Jem- ison and counsel appeared before the Commission and admitted that some freight was hauled by the company whose lines connect Birmingham with Ensley, Bessemer. East Lake and other enyirons but that 1t was done as an accommodation. It was pointed ou; that the freight department of the Bir- mingham Railway, Light and Power Company is not a mouey-maker and but for the requests of patrons it would be dispensed with.

The political situation in Montgom- cry County yesterday became more in- teresting by the announcement of the candidacy Of four prominent Montgom- erians for legislative office. subject to the Democratic primary to be held March 19
 Two of these are seeking seat in the Senate. The other two want to represent Montgomery County in the House of Representatives.

 The two new men, who are seeking seats in the House are F. ". Jackson. a well known lawyer and magistrate and W. A. Haynes of Grady, q farmer who has many friends throughout the county.
 Mfr. Henderson has been contemplat- ing entering the race for the Senate for some weeks. As soon as the Coun- ty Committee decided on the date of the primary, he lost no time in making his announcement. He has always been a progressive farmer and<is aiSo q firm party man. He has never ven- turod in politics before but has served as chairman of the Congressional Cam paign Committee of the Seccnd Com Gressioual District.
 Mir. Houghton's entry caused a sur- prise. While it was known that Mir. Houghton would be a strong political factor should he enter the race, he kept his announcement to himself until the time he thought best for hts announce ment. Mir. Houghton has resided in Montgomery County practically his en- tire life. He has always been pronnt- nent in the affairs of the farmers and has amassed a considerable fortune. He wRs the first President of the Eemmer- ciaI and Industrial Association and has been prominently fdentsf1ed with every interest of Montgomery. This is his first political race.

sured the Commission that by consid- ering the actual history of the char ters and the operations of the company 1t would be shown that it Is entirely without the category of the States common carriers.
 In order to allow ample time in which to file a complete brief in the case the Commission gave the company un- til the February meeting to prepare the brief.
 All the evidence in the cotton rate inquiry was received at the January meeting of the Commission. The mem' bers of the Commission chose to take the intervening time to study the written testimony and take final action Tuesday. The investigation is to de. termine whether the railroads should be required to make lower rates on cotton from the field points to mill points.
