Plenty of Peaches Coming.

Decatur bids us be of good cheer, for it's peach trees are loaded with blooms, and the recent cold wave did not kill one of them. Georgia growers do not claim a greater loss than 2S per cent, and loss of that proportion simply means there will be larger and better peaches in quantities quite suf- ficient.
 No peach tree has ever yet been taught by selection or fertilization or pruning or what not to accept modera- ton in the matter of blossoms. Every vigorous peach tree has blossoms to shed, and all who have watched the pinky splendors of these early spring days will state that at least one-half of the blossoms should be expelled for the good of the remaining half
 Now and then locality reports all the peach blossoms dead. but as rule the reports say there are enough left untouched to make a great crop. De catur anticipates larger crop than it has seen in many year.
 Reports from the peach orchards should always be accepted with eau ton and considerable allowance The peach grower never overestimates the size of his crop He does not do this for obvious reasons, and in this re spect he does not greatly differ from the cotton grower, or the wheat grower or even the man who gathers Easter eggS.

leffarsan Davis, White House.

The first White House of the Con federacy stands on Lee street in Mont gomery very much as it did when lief. ferson Davis occupied it. Many Ala bama women have long desired to set aside the old house as relic of the Confectionery after placing in it all the articles used in it by the head of the Confederate government. This cannot be done at present because the prop erty is the subject of an entail, but all entailed Instructions will after while be cleared away.
 It seems, however that the old home is falling into decay, and surely the owner or owners will not object to the making of repairs at the expense Of other persons. It should not be difti- cult to have a modus operandi, so to sneak until the title of the property can be secured and vested either in an association or else in the state.
 There is really no reason why the state should not take over the house in which the first cabinet and Presi' dent Davis spent the first critical weeks of the greatest civil struggle in the history of the world. Between the state house and the White House Montgomery would then rank as place of historical interest second only to Richmond, where the Cause was lost

- PRESIDENT AS A POLITICIAN.

From the Kansas City Star.
 Ever since MT Roosevelt has been in public life people have remarked that he was a clean able man and that it was pity that he wasn't a politician. They are getting over- that now The Pres idents methods my not be of the kind to which politicians have been accustomed. But they bring results-and results after all are what count
 In the case of the railroad rate measure, for instance. the chief executive has been pitted against some of the shrewdest poli- ticians in the United States. They thought they had him down and out when they forced a democrat to report the Hepburn bill to the Senate-and a democrat, fur thermore with whom the President was not on speaking terms. But they are get ting rather shaky as to their political sagacity as things progress and the dem ocrat seems to be getting the best of the situation.
 Some day, it may be believed, even MT. Aldrich will admit that the President is really pretty fair politician.

German immigration.

The German Immigration Society Of Alabama is preparing a little book on the climate, social life and resources of this state to be distributed widely in the fatherland," said E. Lesser. "fhe book will be ready for binding within the next few months. It will contain such information as will interest prospective emigrants. Our agricultural resources will be fully set forth, and many false impressions will be corrected. And most convincing feature of the publica- ton will be letters from German-Amer- ican, who have lived and thrived in Ala bama for several years.
 The society feels hopeful that the in- formation which We are to disseminate In the old country will bring good re- suits. IL Is a noteworthy fact that the book is being published without line of advertising matter. The society that is paying for the work declines to take even railroad advertisement"

Prouress of the Dewey,

In December, 1905, the floating dry ginia capes seaward, and it has at length passed through the Straits Of Gibraltar into smoother waters. The stormy Atlantic started some of it's rivets, and a stop was made in the Canaries until they could be frightened.
 The big dock is lowed at the rate of 100 miles day, and at that rate it will need about four months in which to traverse the Mediterranean, the Red sea and the Indian ocean, About ten thousand miles remain to be covered. heavy seas hereafter, always provided it can be lowed to it's destination in the Philippines by September, when the typhoon season is at hand in that quarter of the world. A drydock in a typhoon would spell trouble, and more rivets to say the least would be started
 All the plans made for the towing of the drydock have miscarried. Ii was to make the trip in five months and one-third of the distance has al ready consumed four months, and the dock must be lowed with more speed if it is to get to its new home before the typhoon season is opened.

A $32 Beer Mug.

Look at that crowd trailing into that auction,' said visitor yesterday as he stood on First avenue between the Twentieth street corner and the Morris.
 Did you ever think about what a magnetic affect auctions have on women, especially when the wares offered are art or antique? I will give you one in- stance as an illustration of why l have good reasons for remembering.
 q had put every cent I had In orange groves in Florida before the freeze twelve years ago and walked up one chilly morning and found myself as pen niless as a convict. I returned to old folks at home and was sitting in my brothers law office one day trying to figure cut some plan by which I could separate my laundry from the Chinaman on Saturday night when in rushed one of his women clients in tremendous furry of excitement pushing a beer mug with a nick on the rim of 1t in front of her and exclaimed:
 "'Oh. Mir. Blank. just look, look at this Did you ever see anything like it? And just think of the pricel What "' SoU '"iN Poi" i'i it' '""S' eeNSS' You will hardly believe me when tell you It belonged to Louis the Four teenth and l bought it for sS2'-ss2, just think!
 Madam l said, its true that it is hard for me to believe you. And I did think so l thought of that impulsive credulous woman paying sS2 at an auc- ton for a fifteen cents beer mug because somebody told her that Louis the Four teenth had bit chip out of it and me sitting there with not money enough to stop a bread wagon.

Campaiun Contributions.

The republicans draw the line at their huge campaign funds. They stand still when all other inyestiga lions are made; they even give up this, that or other issue, but the cam paign. fund is too sacred to be looked into, much too sacred to be made pub lie. It is true the contributions of four or five insurance companies have been, disclosed, but those contributions merely let the imagination work out the rest. The contributions of the national banks are especially kept secret, and the general subscriptions of the trusts and corporations are care fully withheld. Treasurer Bliss even went so far as to deny his own sigma ture to a receipt for $75000 paid in by Andrew Hamilton.
 At whatever point the subject comes up the republicans meet it with the sole view of squelching the matter. II had been hoped that the entire sub feet would be covered by indictments in. New York city, but District Attor' ney Jerome came in to prevent any action of that sort. New York has a law which says that "a trustee of any money who appropriates the same to the use of any other person than the true owner is guilty of larceny" And yet MT. Jerome holds the appropria

There Are Others.

You would be surprised 10 know" said one of the best known citizens of Bir- mingham yesterday, how many people who read the story in The Age Herald this morning of the business man who was mistaken for a eounterfeiter, have had similar experiences themselves. for one have.
 q went from here to Atlanta several years ago to accept position and at leading boarding house was given a room with another man who claimed this as his home. The morning after my ar- rival my roommate took a pair of my trousers, a coat from an adjoining room, a new dress suit from another one and diamond ring from the landladys room and walked out.
 "The fact that we were both from Bir- mlngham and rooming together caused the police to suspect collision between us, notwithstanding the fact that l was sorely regretting the loss of my Sunday | trousers. and for a whole week l could not turn in any direction without looking a detective in the face.
 q found out that l was being shad- l uOWeu TWO or three udyS, ana pleuBe 1 you my word that it worked on my nerves so that I could neither eat nor sleep until 1t ended. Finally I could stand 1t no 1 longer and l turned on a detective and told him that I knew what was up and l that we had to have an understanding l right there. I satisfied him, but that weeks experience cost me five pounds of 1 flesh"
 'I was arrested once in Montgomery as a safe blower" said travelling man who was present when the well known citizen was narrating his experience and marched between two husky detectives to my hotel and compelled to Identify my l self"
 l "A professional shop liter" said an other member of the party, when ar rested a few years ago in New Orleans tried to escape by telling the detectives | that she was my wife. and that they could call up the St. Charles Hotel and inquire who I was. They inquired all right but my precious corporeal body was the Interrogation point and the question was answered at police headquarters. How she learned my name 1 never found out"

tion of policy holders money to cam paign funds is not larceny. He seems to take that view because a plain con struction of the provision would drag not only the insurance magnates into court, but also Messrs. Bliss and Cor telyou as receivers of money dishon- estly obtained
 The entire subject is to be sup pressed-that much is plain. And 1t is perhaps just as well. The only power that can fully try the issue is the peo- pie. It is for them to say in 1908 whether campaigns conducted on the money of corporate interests is what they desire. This Is the issue in it's plain. naked form, and it will be up to the people in 1908 for final decision. Mr. Jerome cannot make any clear headed, honest man believe that the insurance magnates who book money paid in by democrats for insurance purposes had no bad intent when they applied it to defeat the democratic candidate at the polls. Their action was wrong in intent, wrong in' morals, wrong towards the policy holders, wrong to the country. If any trustee can be indicted under the New York law certainly the insurance men who forked out big campaign subscriptions can be, and they should be wholly re- gardless of District Attorney Jerome and his sudden and unexplained change of front MT. Jerome has, however, tached again, and he is himself en- gagged in bringing the trustees in ques, tion into the courts. Justice may yet be done, and the story of the campaign funds told in detail at last.

NINE MILLION FLOWS AT WORK.

From Farming.
 It's blowing time. Two hundred million acres of land will be piowed this year in the United States and about 100000 blows are on the farms to do the work. The capital invested in blows alone represents sso, 900. Such a multitude of types of blows and blowers can be found on this old continent that we caH-but name a few. In the great southwest the Mohave with his three or four squaws starts for the planting ground. Each woman carries her digging stick, the most primitive of all blows, and the man stands guard all day while the original farmers of this country dig the land and plant their gourd seeds. In Canada, but for the in- reference of the government we might see the Doukhobor women drawing the blow in exactly the same way that they have done for centuries. In New Eng land the oxen are being yoked. and in the middle west the four-horse teams are ready In the south the negro sits on his blow stilt to watch the train go by.
 In other parts of the country we find traction engines at work, blowing forty or more acres a day and requiring but two or three men to do, it.
 The blow stands for civilization, and all civilized nations blow. No savage ever thought of blowing as we understand 1t because it involves freethought and a preparation for the future.

Direct Voting In Oregon.

By a vote of 56,213 yeas against 16,354 nays Oregon has adopted a com pulsory primary or direct nominating election law, and it goes into effect next month. Election day in Oregon comes on June 4, and her election will be the first of the present year.
 The new primary law in Oregon is almost up to the Alabama standard in the matter of choosing United States Senators, for 1t permits an aspirant for legislative honors to file one of two statements-one pledging himself to vote for that candidate for United States Senator who received the high est number of the peoples votes for the position at the general election next preceding the election of a United States Senator, or else one declaring that the popular vote for United States Senator will be regarded by him as a recommendation which he can be al liberty to disregard if the reason for so doing shall seem to him to be sui fcient.
 Each asprant before a party is ex' pected to file one statement or the other. although the filing of either is not compulsory. Few, however, Will fail to file a statement, and in nine cases out of ten Legislative candidates in Oregon will file the statement first mentioned.
 This manner of circnmventing the federal constitution Is pretty plain and direct. but after all it does not reach quite so far or so fully as the succession | plan of Alabama. Pretty soon all Sen ators except those from New York New Jersey and Rhode Island will take their credentials from the people in stead of the trusts, and then the poiis ical millennium will be near at hand.
