HITS BACKWARD.

It begins to look as If the Presidents strenuous characterization of the pack ing-house conditions may be a sort of boomerang to him. As we have be- fore said. these charges and exposures will have bad effect in one direction, in that the agitation, investigation and results will cause something of q gen. eral distrust towards all canned foods. This would be both unjust and hurtful. for no matter how bad some of the canned meats and other products may be. there are undoubtedly others that are good and wholesome and all ought not to be condemned because some are bad.
 But the place where Roosevelts de- nunciations wil reach most against himself Is among the cattlemen of the West. He was something of q cattle raiser himself at one time and has al- ways shown a friendly feeling, not to gay partiality, towards them. Now they are figuratively up in arms against him because. as they view it, he is interfering with theif trade. No doubt they are somewhat hysterical on the subject, but it must be evident that general suspicion against canned meats wilF decrease their sale. and if the packers can't sell their products they will not buy the cattle. We note that Mr. Hasenbarth. president of the National Live Stock Association, sum ming up somewhat bitter criticism of bis action, declares that the Presi- dent. over the heads of the packers. has hit hard blow at the live stocL industry"
 As we have said. the stock raisers may be somewhat hysterical. or may be unduly alarmed. and they ma, place undue blame on the President. Certain 1t is that if he knew of the con ditions that exist. or are alleged to ex- ist. in the packing houses. he did right in reporting the matter 10 Congress. If he did it In exaggerated style, and made charges and allegations that were not well founded, 1t was nothing new for him. He usually takes the bridle off when he talks. and there are times when he is not as careful of his facts as ono occupying his position ought to be. Be that as 1t may there is no doubt that he has aroused the ire of his old friends of the plains. and they are ripping him up the back without marcy. It is a pretty fight. but we hope full and exact justice will be done let 1t hurt whom 1t may.

So the OK is an anchor; the mule. like q breeze. blows the negro about The whole complexion of Southern civiliza- ton in so far as 1t has been affected by the negro since the war would have been changed by an alliance between the negro and the OK. instead of this false sociological and economic union between the negro and the-mule.
 However. we dream no dreams. You may not argue away deep underlying Instinct. You could not by dialectics. have put away the cord binding the Siamese twins. The negro and the mule must remain forever linked. Is 1t his bringing up that mas shut the mule out of all the arts? Assuredly though. when the negro gets firm foot hold there the mule will be with him. his real enemy but for the negro. his beloved friend

V. c. I. U. Should Favor Beer 1
Mtss Phoebe Cousins speaks Plainly
 and to the Point on Temperance.

Every day seems to bring us near- CT sane. sensible. and practical soIu- ton of the temperance question in the United States. More than one noted speaker and thinker have of late shown . leaning to a practical rather than q theoretical effort to aid in the cause of temperance. One of the most noted women of our day and ago Is Miss Phoebe Cousins. for a quarter of . century the leader in the woman's suf- frage movement in the West. She res gently said: There never will be q law to compel prohibition and the sensible thing for the Womens' Chris tian Temperance Union to do is to aid in the. substitution of mild. nourish- ing drinks like beer which seldom pro- duces drunkenness"
 This broad assertion may bring . storm of criticism from the fanatical upon this devoted woman's head but In the end the living truth of her words will prevail She is borne out in her statement by statistics. It has been clearly shown that with the in- creased use of malt beverages in this country there has been a correspond- ing decrease in intempcrance.
 Recently prominent army ofncer in the West operated canteens at three{ different army posts at which onIyt beer was sold--no alcoholic liquorsf whatet~~ were allowed. He made tho canteens 50 acceptable to the soldiersl who found beer satisfying tbeir del mands. that he actually ran an the lowA dives of the surrounding neighborhood out of business. Yet it was through the efforts of the w. c. T. U. that the army canteens were driven out. Let us hope the many noble women com prising the w. c. T. U. will be broad- minded enough to recognize their mis- take and join Miss Cousins and others who are sincerely striving to stem the tide of intemperance by the sub stitution of mild. harmless beer for strong drink. In this connection it might be we'll to mention that chem teal analysis shows Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer, which Is perhaps the best known of all bottled beers, to contain only fraction over three per cent. alcohol as one eminent physician puts 1t. just enough for a good tonic effect to tha stomach, while in food value 1t is far superior on account of the Pabst ex- elusive eight-day process of making malt"

MULE OR OK FOR THE NEGRO.

We are not now to challenge the time-honored association of the negro with the mule. They are one and in- divisible in American history. and will undoubtedly remain SO. It Is a socio- logical and economic question we would posit and discuss. Inseparahle as are the negro and the mule taking them in the mass. the OK Is better servant. a truer friend of the black race. This Is a paradox. we grant. but we mean to grove it.
 let us not confine our gaze to the ne- gro and the mule when the rider sits sideways on his animal. returning home in the dusk of the evening filling the whole countryside with the deep re- sounding music of his voice. calling to yet other voices. a mile or more away: rot to that other old familiar. where the mule hitehed to a pine tree calls to his master through the open window of the meeting house on Sunday. asking him to go home. though only the first hour of the minister's exhortatiens has been finished. The mule is notoriously not a religious animal. He has been known to emit that awful "crawnch" of his while his dusky master was be- ing put beneath baptismal waters. Not these. but sociological and economic consideration must decide between the OK and the mule as a help meet for the negro. | Flatly. the OK makes the negro more industrious, more saving and in every way better deserving the proud title of American citizen. We appeal to our planter readers, our farmers. for con firmation of this. The negro who is euItivating the soil for himself as owner or lessee and who works an OK Is tied to his home. The mule gives his negro master a vagrant character. Is this not so? Again we appeal to those familiar with the facts. If the peRro was not too proud to ride his OK, some, a very few, we allow, are not. the pace of the animal Is so slow there is small temptation to use him In this way. This is a great virtue In the OK in his effect upon the negro and the OK too. The negro prevented from marking away eight or ten miles at night. goes to sleep at an early hour, and gets up refreshed and strong for the days work. The OK, tied by a rope in good grass, consumes a solid meal and he too secures a good nights sleep. getting up refreshed and strong for the days work
 How would 1t be with the mule? This is the great sociological and eco homie question. The mule tempts his master astray at night into devious paths. to the grocery. to the station. 10 the town or may be to some other home Here is a heavy depressing tax upon both man and beast. Where the man and the OK are chewing the cud, so to say. or sleeping peaeSfe.'y. the man and the mule arc careering about

 Elba Clipper.
 In commenting on the conlerring 7l the degree of LIA D. upon Major W. w. Screws by the University last week, one of our exchanges says:
 This Is degree most worthtly con- ferred. as there Is not, in the State of Alabama, a man who has done more for the upbuilding of the State and its interests than has Major Screws"
 The best opinion is to the effect that public services, no matter how distin- guished, do not make a man a fit TO- cipient of such degree. unless in their accomplishment he manifested the possession of eruditton to note worthy degree. The possession of much knowledge and polish and their use for the uplifting of mankind are the essentials. Major Screws has them. He is not one who receives tho degree because of his prominence alone, nor yet because of his distinguished and patriotic public services. but be- cause in addition thereto he has dis played rare scolarship. The University honored itself in conferring the degree upon Major Serews-er. ah. we meant Dr. Screws.

BUILDING MONUMENTS.

We are a great people for monu- ment building, both as a nation and people. That we sometimes carry the fad to an extreme Is more than possi- ble, as the House at Washington did when it passed a bill appropriating money to build monuments to Paul Jones, John Barry and Henry W. Long fellow. besides providing for the erect ion of monuments at Kings Mountain. and at several other places of note in connection with our early history.
 Now. we think there could be no ten able objection ts . monument to Paul Jones. He was both national and an international figure. and was araong the most famous men connected with the revolutionary struggle. A monu- nent to him would be fitting, but we hardly think Congress Is justified In apIropriating money for Barry monu- triotic soldier and sailor. true to his adopted country and faithful to duty, but we have no record that this enthu- siastic young Irishman accomplished any great deeds or won great fame by his services on land or sea. Monuments to scores and hundreds of Revolution ary patriots would as Justly be built at public cost as his.
 But if. there is little excuse for using the public money in the case of John Barry. where can any be found for us- ing it to erect a monument to Long fellow? He was a somewhat famous poet, we admit. but he was not so emil rent in letters that our Government should build a monument in his honor. If that Is begun, we may look for a lenS string of writer's names to come up for consideration, and we should like to know where the end would be- In the long list of poets and writers who have added to the fame of Ameri- can literature, there can be found num- bers who are as much entitled to na- tional recognition as I.ongfellow is, and when once started there will be no end to 1t.
