Mesuuitoes in Jsnes Valley.

New Jersey is considering the ap- propriaticn of SS15 900 for the purpose of driving mosquitoes out of that state next summer, and 1t is state that has to contend with great extent Of salt marshes. The breeding grounds of the mosquito in that state have, however. been carefully surveyed, and 1t is estimated that the pest can be driven out at the cost mentioned. Staten Island. now a part of New York city, proposes to fight a simi- lar battle. and in other northern sec tions the mosquito is to be pursued, not for so much for safety's sake as for comfort of the people.
 We need not fear in Alabama the yellow fever mosquito, but we have every reason to fear the anopheles or malaria mosquito. The damage they do in this state every season is heavy indeed. They sap the energies of thou sands, even tens of thousands of per sons, and no one is safe against their attacks.
 Jones valley could well afford to drive out all mosquitoes, for when we drive out the anopheles we drive out the cluex also, and then there will be safety and comfort for all. The task would not cost over S10,00O if it were conducted by competent scientist, and it would prove an excellent in yestment of that amount of money.
 New Orleans proposes to take up the work at once in order that mos quito breeding in April may be pre- vented. So should we act in Jones Val1pv

Good Laundries.

ALABAMA POLITICS.

From the Washington Post.
 The Riggs house has three candidates for the United States Senate from the same state-a little shy just now abour acknowledging but not denying ultimate intentions before the lists are closed They are Representatives John Bankhead Henry D. Clayton and William Richard son of Alabama, veteran members of the the House of Representatives. They arc candidates for renomination to Congress but as 1t Is known that each Is anxious for an early primary in his district, the inference Is that each desires to have the representative bird in hand before he goes after what may be in the senatorial bush. Each is strong in Alabama. having admirers in other districts than his own
 None of them Is a candidate against Morgan or Pettus. whose election is now conceded, but each is not unwilling to for senators to be appointed by the gov ernor, as a prescribed result of the pri- mary next August, recently provided by state democratic committee. Among the candidates for this end of the race Is Richard H. Clarke of Mobile for several terms member of the House. It Is said by Alabama visitors here that at least dozen other candidates will soon be in the field
 "Id hate to be candidate resting un- der suspicion of wishing for another man to die,' said an Alabamian last night, referring to the state committee's plan to fill possible vacancies from deafh by antemortem election.

CentroI of the Russian Church.

The evil work of Mir. Pobiedonestseff, formerly minister of religion and ruler of the Russian Greek church, will be pretty thoroughly undone if the con trol of that great organization is re- stored to a patriarch and the holy synod.
 The holy synod has submitted a plan intended to take the church out of politics and especially out of bu- reaucratic politics and graft and secu- Iarism, by restoring the spiritual con trol of the old-time church. If thls plan be accepted and established the Russian church will be governed by a patriarch or metropolitan, aided by a council of the bishops.
 It Is believed that great council of the church will be summoned in the

HOW TO SEE THE PRESIDENT.
From Puck.

AAphA uOhs
 great many people, like Mrs. Morris. rave difficulty In obtaining an audience with President Roosevelt. If they are ao fortunate as to get past the White House door they are almost instantly fired out again by some hired man, and the Presl dent doesn't even know that they called.
 Now, 1t is easy enough to get to the President if you go about it the right way. There are several right ways hut perhaps the best is to rig out as a cow boy, ride your broneho into the White House hall and proceed to shoot up the place. If you call In the evening shoot out the lights. When the hired man an- pears make him dance a few steps fin the familiar fashion and then remark: Now you hustle in to Bad Lands Teddy and tell him Bobcat Bill wants to see him real partickler' But the chances are that the President will come running out as soon as the shooting begins He knows better than any one else the mu- sic of the whirllng cylinder
 Another less strenuous method of gain ing an audience Is to disguise yourself as guide. A leather coat and A coon skin cap will suffice for makeup, and the merest hint to the hired man that 70 uare Allygash Ike, or Penobscot Pete, will produce immediate results, even if cabinet meeting Is in progress.
 Still another method. and one which ladies might employ. is to disguise one self as stork. warm welcome is as- sured, and one may enter by any door or window.
 Personally we like best the cowboy en- trance and we think that the President too prefers It.

She came from the Custises She nursed an elder sister of mine, after the death of my fathers first wife. Uncle George was the gar dener and Aunt Mary the washerwoman. They were a devoted couple and occu- pied an outhouse nearly adjoining the mansion My earliest recollection is of seeing my mother in our garden direct ing George in his work. He and his wife loved the ground she walked upon.
 Their children were Charlotte, Sarah Betsy. Louisa, John. Anne Eliza. Virgil and Sergeant to say nothing of several who died in infancy. Charlotte was given as maid to my eldest sister Mrs. Garnett; Betsy to another sister, Anne Eliza to another John to my brother Richard.

 Opelika News: It is said that in the Sixth district Congressman Bankhead controls the executive committee and that he proposes to call an early primary over there. and, if successful in his race for Congress, he will then enter the race for Senator in waiting
 Bessemer Rustler The race for Gov ernor has narrowed down to the two avowed candidates and the voters of this State will have to choose between the two or not vote at all The Rustler has no desire to vote for either, and when it comes to choosing between the two it Is too tough a proposition for us to tackle.
 Talladega Reporter: We are not hero worshippers, but candor comps.s us to say that Theodore Roosevelt is the near est President of this country than any 1t has ever had. His cutting down fool ish expenditures of the peoples money Is a great saving to the public; and in nearly every instance he is fearless and right. No wonder the enemies of Theo- dore Roosevelt are the enemies of the public.
 Huntsville Mercury: Hon. Richard H. Clarke makes the third announcement for the Senatorial succession. The other two are Hon. w. c. Fitts of Mobile and Hon John B. Knox of Annlston. An array of excellent material from which to select a Senator in case a vacancy should oc- cur. Either would make a good Senator and be more acceptable than some ap- pontee of the Governor whom he would be compelled to reward for services ren- dered.
 Roanoke Leader: We presume that Jus tices Dowdell and Tyson will be accorded a renomlnation as members of the Su- preme court without question. They should be. They went before the people in a primary two years ago and were nominated by good majorities. By their ill-fortune in drawing for terms, under the provisions of the new constitution, they serve only a two-year term under their election. This Is no fault of theirs. Let them have another term, at least.

CALLED by death, Colonel O'Brien Moore, editor of the Tucson Citizen, has laid down his pen and passed to another world. He was one of the ablest and most forceful writers on the press of Arizona, and his departure removes from the journalism of the territory strik- ing and masterful figure. While disagreeing upon all points, lex cept the Japanese Russian war; there existed warm personal friendship between Colonel Moore and THE OASIS editor; and in the death of the brilliant gentleman the writer feels a keen sense of personal loss. There was nothing mean nor underhanded in Colonel Moore. He came out into the open, and his opponents knew where to find him always. And he held in thorough detestation that class of journalists who try to even up by inficting financial loss upon an opponent with whom they cannot cope in the broad forum of intellectual endeavor.
