KlNCANNON WILL NOT ENTER FOR
GOVERNOR.
Friends Of the Industrial Institute
and College Of Mississippi
Pleased that he Will Re-
main at Its Head.
Especial to the Birmingham News.

Columbus, Miss, April 30
Hon. A. A. Kincannon, who has
been prominently mentioned as a
prospective candidate for the
governorship, has decided not to
enter the race. Mr.. Kincannon
has reached this decision after a
careful consideration of the mat
ter in its entirety, and the count
less friends Of the Industrial In
stitute and College, the institu-
ton over which he has presided
for many years, will be pleased
to know that this splendid school
will still have its future left in
his able hands. While Mr.. Kin
cannon was contemplating MAX
ing the race he was the recipient
of many letters from friends
throughout the state assuring
him that he would be one of the
favorites in the contest and urg-
ing him to enter the field. At
the same time he was beseiged
with letters asking that he not
enter the race because his selec-
ton as Governor would necessarily
mean the severance of his con-
nection at the state school. The
many years of able service and
watchful guidance, coupled with
untiring efforts, which President
Kincahhon has devoted to the
college and the brilliant record
and complete success which has
crowned all of his efforts endear
him to the hearts Of all Mississ-
ippians and the state ows him
unbounded praise and thanks for
his work in its behalf.

Within the past twelve years
the state of Massachusetts has
constructed 622 miles of what is
known as state roads. The road
question is a difficult one to solve
in all the states as there is such
a diversity of opinion among the
people as to how the roads should
be kept up. We have gotten our
consent to let the state, or the
federal government even, take
charge of and build us some good
roads. We will accept them on
most any terms from anybody,
provided there is no cash outlay
to get them.

Father Sherman, who started
out to cover the raid of his father
through Georgia, on horseback
with a military escort, found very
soon that he was persona non
grata to the people along the
route. The government having
ordered the military escort to re-
turn. the reverend gentleman
decided that he would get lone
some without such company and
abandoned his trip. It will take
many more years before a man
by the name of Sherman will be

The Gar of Russia has retired
his reform cabinet with Count
Witte at his head. The Gar,
like all crowned heads, is jealous
of his authority and will only
SHAKEN his autorcratic hold when
his people rise up and demand
their rights and liberty at the
point of the bayonet. If White
were a Cromwell he would do his
downtrodden people a service
which would send his name down
in history along with the great
est reformers, but it seems that
he lacks the backbone which the
situation demands.

If the republican party, headed
by President Roosevelt, succeeds
in getting the antagonism of the
Standard Oil Co., the railroads
and other trusts, there will be a
lack of funds with which to buy
the presidential election for the

One third Of all the passengers on
steamships in the United States are
carried on ferry boats across the
North River. No less than 10I.o00,0O0
people cross from shore to shore of
this busy stream every twelve months
Il number greater than the total
population Of the Unitcd states hy AT
least twenty-five per cent. During
the most of the time 1914 ferrybodtS are
busy carrying back and forth 3oo,oo0
passengers a day, which is equivalent
to saying that about - boats are al
ways crossing this stream at once
This is likely To be the top record
which will be looked back to in future
years when the ferry boat is almost
q curiosity The tunnels will take
care of most passengers and the grow
ing desire to clear up the North River
in general will do away with the
present congestion. Already a project
is well advanced to do away with the
anchorage grounds on the Jersey side
of the North River. in order that the
docking facilities in that territory may
be better utilized. The truth of the
whole matter is that New York is be-
ginning to realize that her water COM
mcrce is not all it might be. Not only
are other ports gaining in Importance
daily, but developments are proving
that the harbor here needs a lot of
improving. Some definite plan will
undoubtedly be decided before long.
since New York is expected to send a
strong delegation to the convention of
the National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress in Washington on December
sixth and seventh. when the national
policy toward water transportation is
to be considered in detail. Much hope
is felt here that this convention will
result in definite measures for good.
for with her own situation as an object

for temporizing is past.

scene Of pathos caused yesterday by
the reading court of the letters ot
Grace Brown to her sweetheart, there
was a decided relaxation today in the
trial If Chester Gillette for the all
legged murder Of the girl of whom the
prosecution claims he wished To be rid.
The forenoon was given over largely to
