Capt. Richmond p. Hobson, the hero OF
the Merrimac, who lived through the fire
of the Spanish forts at Santiago and the
oscillations of hundreds of gushing maid
ems after his return from the war. seems
destined to appear in public life as
congressman from the sixth Alabama dis
trict. He has beaten Congressman Bank
head in the primaries and this is equiv
alent TO an election. Mr.. Bankhead is
now serving his eighth term in the House.
He has been regarded as one of the most
strongly intrenched members of that body
and his defeat caused great surprise in
Washington. Hobson made his cam
paign under the slogan of "a greater
navy" Hobson made public some time
ago a plan for big navy which would
call for the expenditure or $3.50 ,O0O.O 900 with

An article printed on the fifth page of
this paper presents a summary of the
work done by Col. Kittredge Haskins
since he became a representative in Con-
gress as It has related to the larger public
affairs of the state and the country at
large. But there is one branch Of his
work not mentioned there which has BEN
eitted the people OF his district in an
immediate and personal way. Our refer
ence is to his activity and success in Sc
curing the establishment of free delivery
routes. 1t seems rather surprising to re-
call that when Col. Haskins took his seat
In Congress in December, 1901, there were
only three "R. f. D." routes in the whole
Second district At the present time there
are more than 120. Through Col. Has
kins's recommendation 126 proposed rural
free delivery routes have been investi-
gated by special agents of the post office
department, lis of these have been ordered
established, and Is are still pending. 1t
is true that It is the policy of the govern
ment to establish these routes so far as
possible, but the extent to which they are
established nevertheless depends in large
measure upon the interest and alertness

cases having been called up by Col. Has

these favorable action has been secured
In many OF these cases the applicants at

Manager Hindley of the Clement literary
bureau stopped over pretty badly when he
sent a circular letter as follows to the
listers Of the different towns Of the state:
''Win you kindly furnish us, on the en-
closed postal card. information as to the
number Of voters in your town who have
registered their political intentions In ac-
cordance with act No. 2, session laws Of
1904?" This information. from listers
throughout the state, would be very
valuable to gubernatorial candidate who
was questioning with himself. ITO run as
a Republican or as an independent, aye,
there's the question:" II would be the
magic solution 10 crystalline the nebulous
opinion Of the political alchemist. But
as a matter of fact Mr.. Hindiey is seek
ing of the listers that which they have no
right to give He is inviting them 10
violate their oaths OF ONCE and to make
themselves liable to prosecution under the
laws OF the state. A mans inventory is
inviolate, TO be seen only by the listers
and by the town clerk with whom they
file It. And the certificate Of intention,
as part OF the inventory, is subject tc
the same laws as the main part OF the
instrument. II listers have filled out the
blanks sent out by Mr.. Hindley they have
given information which they have nc
right to divulge.

An international Exchange.

DR.. s. M. Crothers, minister Of the First
church In Cambridge, Mass, has gone
abroad with a plan for an exchange with
English ministers similar to the plan now
well under way for an exchange of pro-
fessors between German and American
universities. DIR. Crothers goes to Eng
land for six months exchanging, until
summer, with Rev. Joseph Wood of Bir-
mingham, after that, with Rev. F. X.
Preston of the Essex church, London.
Dr. Crothers made many friends on his
former visit to England, and will be re-
ceived for a time as one Of the family in
the English Unitarian household He will
give the Essex Hall lecture in June, and
together with DR.. George C. Cressey and
Charles e. Ware, Esq, will be a delegate
at the annual meeting OF the British and
Foreign Unitarian association. The Eng
lish ministers will have a similar welcome
in this country. Mr.. Wood will give a
course of lectures at MeadVille Theolog-
ical school and be present at our ami
versary meetings. This experiment in the
international exchange OF ministers may
lead to something further. to the benefii
of all concerned.
