admiration and the influence of Lieutenant Cen
eral Terauchi. ii is believed in certain quarters
that the groundwork is being laid for an under
standing concerning immigration, which. it is
conceded. is the only point which there Is
difference of opinion between the two countries
1t is rumored that If the opportunity arises in
the course of his conference with the Emperor
on October Mr. Taft may broach this subject
to him and leave its future arrangement to Mr.
O'Brien the American Ambassador Diplomatic

Kafir corn, milo maize and sorg-
hum are the cheapest and best feed
for hogs that car be produced IN
Northeast New Mexico and the
Texas Panhandle, and why it is
that our farmers do not plant more
of these and feed more hogs is a
question that the farmers must
answer themselves, as the editor of
the News is up a stump for a rea-
son. Hogs are always in demand
and must always be until home
consumption is supplied, and then
an export trade may be tried for
the surplus. There is no need of try
ing to farm in this country without
stock in connection, and if the gen.
eral demand for "a money crop
were answered by turning the
kaGfr corn, maize and sorghum in
to hogs and the hogs into money,
it may help in the solution Of the
money crop problem.

Rates and Passes in Georqia

Georgia has long had low freight rates, and now her railroad commits sion, possessing enlarged powers granted by her legislature, is engaged in determining her passenger rates. These promise to be adjusted on the basis of a flat 212-cent rate, with pos sibly 1O00-mile books at the rate of cents a mile thrown in
 But rate-making Is not all her active railroad commission is doing, for it is about to call for a report on October 15 of all passes outstanding. They desire to know "who to and what for D The what for" is where the humor of the commission becomes apparent The what for" is the essence and secret of every pass that was ever issued, and if the Georgia commission will publish the list of passes issued by the railroads in it's charge the nim- ble reader will supply the what for" in every case. All the reader needs is list of pass holders.
 The Georgia railroad commission has long been an efficient body, but it promises to exceed it's record, now that additional power has been con ferred upon it by the legislature. In the long run all the states south of the Potomac and the Ohio will get upon a common platform so far as rates, both freight and passenger, are concerned, and 1t will not take long at the present pace to find the level, which should. of course, be just alike 10 the railroads and to the people.

Boosts Birmlnqham.

"The improvement in appearance Birm- ingham has made within the past three years Is simply marvellous" said a well known travelling man yesterday.
 My headquarters are in New York and l get to this city only every few years so am in a position to judge the rapid growth more accurately than those who visit here more frequently. Birmingham's industrial development has kept pace with the growing frequency with which her name Is mentioned outside the state, and in the opinion of conservative f1nanciers of the east her development has only begun.
 ''To one who has known Birmingham for twenty years as I have, the story of her rapid advancement Is like a tale from Arabian Nights. From a small and comparatively insignificant place when her resources were practically unknown she has advanced by the leaps and bounds of bonn town to a place of singular inn portance among the first cities of the south.
 The rapidity of her development alone lllSens her to a boom town, however, as 1t was from the inside instead of from the outside, and has been as solid as it was quick. Yes, in my opinion, Birn- ingham has future before her that will be much more marvellous than her past and will be a tale of unprecedented suc- cess"

More Money for inc Canal

Attorney General Bonaparte advised the President that the customary rule of keeping within congressional appro- priations does not apply to the Pan ana canal for the canal work is gov erned by the Spooner act, and not by the general limitations of the execu- tive departments. Acting upon this advice, the President has directed Col onel Goethals to continue to throw dirt and to build the big dam as rapidly as he can without reference to the appro- priation for the present fiscal year
 Colonel Goethals asked for authority to spend SS,000.000 more than the years appropriation. His force is working with fine effect He is really digging a canal, and he is also actively engaged in creating a lake in it by building the huge Gatun dam. He says the increased expenditure this year is in the interest of true economy, and that it may save a years time in com pleting the canal.
 There come from the isthmus no reports of yards of earth removed, or any roseate promises of a canal, but it is plain that the army engineers are pushing the work as it never had been pushed before They will doubtless prove to be the true canal builders. They are not looking for offers of big salaries from this or that magnate, for they cannot honorably shirk the task they have in hand.

Thread in Two Countries

The spool thread trust, snugly en- Bconced behind the Dingley wall has recently advanced the price of a spool of sewing cotton to 6c. The price of a spool is now alike on both sides of the water, but the Philadelphia Ledger prints pictures of the American and the English 6-cent spool This ex- poses at a single glance Dingleyism, for the English spool holds 400 yards, while the American Dingleyized spool holds but 200 yards.
 In other words, here in the land of cotton the American woman is com pelled to pay twice as much as her English cousin across a wide sea pays for sewing cotton. The trust and Dingleyism levies, in other words, a tax of cents whenever a spool of thread is purchased.
 This Is but a fair example of Ding 1eyism from top to bottom. In a sneak Ing indirect way it robs the many to engorge the few. It creates trusts and millionaires on the one hand while it fills the land with paupers and tramps on the other. The spool thread trust cannot be upset or even curbed while the Dingley wall is maintained Nei- ther English nor German thread can be imported, and the trust sheltered and protected and fostered by our Chinese wall proceeds to exploit with put mercy the American sewing woman whenever she buys spool of thread.
 And yet our noble and blessed, even sacred, tariff must not be changed until 1909, and then, if 1t be done at all, which Is more than doubtful, it is to be revised "by it's friends"-by the Dalzells in the House and the Ald- riches fin the Senate.

ludue Parker's Address

The modern exercise of legislative functions by inferior federal courts is one of the evils that have sprung from the fourteenth amendment-an amend ment that was pushed into the consti- tuition by the bayonet to protect the negro, but which has since been util- ized by the trusts. and the railroads whenever anything crossed their path.
 Judge Parker deprecates the in crease of the federal power under the fourteenth amendment at the expense of the states. The injunction that sus- bends the operation of legislation of A sovereign state Is the most common AS 1t is the most hated form of this trespass upon the powers of the states. He does not deny the powers of the federal courts to suspend a law of a state. but he dislikes such action, and he hopes to see a clearer definition of the line between the dual powers in this country. He discusses temper ately and in a lawyer-like manner the situation and it's difficulties, leaning plainly, however, towards the reserved rights of the states.
 The question is not one that con cerns Alabama any more than it does Maine or any other state. We have two recalcitrant railroads, 1t Is true, but plain business sense will soon say to those two railroads that they should seek to make friends of their own patrons, not enemies. All the other railroads have accepted a reasonable waiting-stage plan, and two outstand- ing will do likewise. if sanity and horse sense still have a foothold in their controlling officers.
 But outside of the local rate differ ences there remains the obnoxious fourteenth amendment-a veritable Pandora box from which evils of all sorts may yet come. It is full of evil possibilities, and the road to its repeal is just as full of obstacles. What can not be cured must be endured, and this is our lot today and for many days to come

 He has succeeded in getting bills author izing the plant through congress. and has made arrangements with the war de- partment for sufficient head at lock 2 to give slack water navigation to Gads- den and this will enable the company to secure 25,o0o to 3O,O00 horse powor
