against Senator Morgan for the Senate,
now wish to reply to that part of Mr..
Crawford's article in which he states that
Governor Johnston drove my uncle out of
Alabama and off the stump and that he
would not meet him In joint debate, etc
Now, 1t is a well known fact that the
democratic party of this state both young
and old said to Senator Morgan, 'go
back to Washington and represent Ala
bama as you have always done in the
Senate and attend to the duties we have
sent you there to perform and we will
see that you are again elected" Now did
not this same democracy make good its
words, and did not Governor Johnston run
again for high office in this state as it
was said by his friends as a vlndication of
his race for the Senate against Senator
Morgan, and was he elected to that Of
fee? No. Ask the men of your state
who voted the reason why?
Now, in conclusion, l will say to Mr..
Crawford if his friend Governor Johnston
intends to run for the Senate l think he
will still have his hands full when he
gets through with sucn men as John B.
Knox, Mr. Frank White, Underwood
Fits, Bankhead, Oates and perhaps 9TH
er worthy sons of Alabama who may en-
ter this race to let Senator Morgan alone,
and direct his attention to the other can
didates that may appear, as the people of
Alabama know Senator Morgan too well
and still have faith in him and l believe
will return him to the Senate as a mark
of respect to him for his loyalty to the
people he has represented these many
years. Yours very respectfully
R. F. MORGAN.

PORTO RICANS ARE
NOT FAIRLY TREATED
American Officers on the Island Are
Charged With Indifference to
Wishes of Natives.

Washington, January 19.-Broad charges
as to the indifference of American Off
cials in Porto Rico, to the wishes of
Porto Ricans, were made by Mayor Ro-
berto Todd, of San Juan, in hearing
before the House committee on insular
affairs on the proposed bill to reorganze
the insular government
Mayor Todd charged that the six Amer
lean members of the executive council
who are also the heads of the depart
ments of the insular government. do not
consult the five native members of the
body and do not even invite them to
meetings of the council. This body is
both executive and legislative in its func-
tions and stands in the relation of a
Senate to the House of Delegates of Porto
Rico. Under the present, government Or
ganization the eleven members of this
body are appointed by the President of
the United States and II is required that
only five of them shall be Porto Ricans.
Consequently the natives insist their rep
resentation is wholly inadequate and they
desire that they be granted a Senate to
be elected by the people. instead of a
council.
In support of his charge that the ma
tives in the council are ignored, letters
were presented from Rosendo Matenzo
Cintron, present speaker of the House of
Delegates and former member of the
council and other former members of the
council

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Duke of KllIlcrankle."

Rose Coghlan and her company gave an
excellent performance of THE Duke of
Killicrankie," Captain Marshalls English
comedy at the Jefferson theatre last night.
John Drew appeared in the play last sea-
son and consequently 1t was not new to
many theatregoers but was nevertheless
greatly enjoyed Miss Coghlan as Mrs.
Mulholland, the widow of wealthy glue
manufacturer who is extremely sensitive
on the subject of glue, had a role which
was especially apt and suited her talents
admirably She made the character dis
tinctly humorous and gave a clever per-
Torrance.
The company was we'll balanced and cap
able with the possible exception of Lynn
Pratt, who was the duke. Mr.. Pratt has
histrionic ability but his enunciation is
poor and this spells what would other
wise be pleasing performance. Nina
Phillips as Lady Henrietta was extremely
good. In the last act, more than any
other she demonstrated her ability as an
actress. Wallace Erskine as Mr.. Henry
Pitt-Wellby gave an amusing and salts
factory Interpretation of his role-that of
a rather vacuous Englishman and men,

witty comedy and its presentation at the
jefferson last night was but little below
the standard set by John Drew. At times
the action dragged, but as a whole the
play was we'll acted.

long time. It is clean and free from the
suggestive. 1t is fit for the young and old
and middle-aged alike 1t appeals to the
casual as we'll as to the habitual theatre
goers and is equally liked by those who
go to the play house simply for an even
ing's amusement as well as by those who
go in critical vein. The play abounds
in characters not unique but such as one
might meet in everyday life both in the
city and in the country. Hans Robert
plays the title role.

GOLD MINING IN AUSTRALIA.


AUSTRALIA.
Gold is still to be found in a5und
ance in western Australia ana con.
stitutes the states chief source OF
wealth. Since 1891, when practically
the first discovery was made, there
has been constantly increasing out
put. with the exception of 1900. 1904
and 1905, when the yield fell slightly
below that OF preceding years.
Prior TO 1898 the entire production
amounted to approximately 81. 900.
900. but in that year work was begun
in earnest, with the result that IA the
succeeding II months over $4,000. 900
was taken out. In 1901 the storing

For several years the problem Of n
water supply for the gold fields was
most difficult to solve. for In that ter.
ritory, about 400 miles from Fgrth,
the capital of the state. there are no
rivers. few natural supplies OF sur.
face water, and the rainfall is light
The vital Importance OF overcoming
this difficulty was recognized by The
state. and some idea OF the magnitude
of the undertaking may be formed by
the cost OF the construction which
amounted to over $4,000. 900. In 1896
the premier Of the state obtained the
approval OF the legislature to an cx.
pcndture OF sl2 100000 for the pro-
vision OF a supply Of 100000 gallons
of water n day. The work was cneF.
gcticaIly pushed and brought to a
successful completion In 1908.
Fully $1,000 men are engaged In
mining and the wages paid are sum.
clently high to induce frst-class min.
crs to remain permanently employed.
In the gold fields the value OF mining
machinery In use amounts to approx,
matcly s2O.OOO,O0O. and there have
been erected about 1000 stamps.
These figures show concluslvely the
splendid industry that has been built
up. and all conditions now point to a
continuance OF the prosperous condi.
