Temperance People Aroused.

Mrs J. E. Chat6eld, president of tho Womans Christian Temperance union, with a party of friends, secured a place in q booth at the state fair today and began distributing temperance literature and white ribbons. On complaint being made they were ordered to desist by Sec retary Robert Tait. They then moved out in one of the walks and began the same sort of campaign. They were waited upon by fair policemen and told that they must quit.
 Then they stood about the place about as angry q set of women as one would see in many a day. They kept aup their work, though i'll an unOrganzed way. at the same time filing protest against any such treatment. On having the matter reported to him Sheriff Hood sent man to the fair grounds and it was made pretty plain to the deputies that the ladies were to be unmolested to do what they saw fit, so long as they did not violate any law. The feeling in sympathy with the ladies ran very high and there was much criticism of the management.
 However, it seems to have been a re- suit of no intention of Mr. Tait to annoy the ladies. He says that his orders are that all enterprises that go on are to have a concession or permission from the head of the fair. So far as he knew they had not received this and his duty was to prevent any movement not so author. ized. The feeling has been very hiSh among the temperance people because uf the sale of liquors at the fair. An at tempt was made to stop it but 1t was dis covered that this could not be done in the face of the fact that the town of Picket Springs gave the license and thc state and county exempted from all Ii.

.COMER SPEAKS AT
 THE STATE FAR
Address Takes Up Province of
 the Farmers
SOUND ON VITAL ISSUES
Governor Declares That the Farming Class Obeys the Laws and That Railways Must Submit
 Likewise To Laws.

Montgomery, October 29-tSpecial) The special feature at the state fair to- day was the address of Gov. B. E. Conner. in which he discussed the relation of the farmer to the social body of the uni verse, and the demands made epon him from all departments of life and effort in the country. He said that the man of the soil was the fructifying and purify ing element of humanity. sound always on the principles of life and happiness.
 The governor recalled the Bible story of Elisha, who, after receiving the mantle of his forerunner, went back to the school of the prophets and prepared to serve them. Complaint was made that the contents of the pot was not whole some for food. Then it was that he threw something into il that purified what was contained therein. and all was well. Tho farmer is like that purifying influence. He is indueteds and projected into the life of the city, grown poison by it's contact with evil and purifies it.
 When in the fight for the best interests of the people it was found that the vote was in the country it was known that all was well, The farmer is sound on all questions that are to be worked out He is sound on temperance, on schools and on all other lines. There will be safe ty as long as the farmer thus dominates the country. He can be depended upon In every emergency it is his strength and his wealth. combined with his sound judg- mont, that saves the day The present Wall street furry is yielding to the in- fuence of the great product that he has given the country; like always in the past he is saving the county
 With reference to the railroad situa- ton the governor said that it is not out lawry. but inlawry that is wanted. Trusts and combinations are called upon to obey the Alabama laws, good enough for Ala bamians, good enough for anybody. Let them obey to the extent of trying our statutes, after that they have the right through the courts of the state to the courtss of highest Jurisdiction in the na- ton. President Smith of the Louisville and Nashville was appealing to the peo- pie to take his side of the case and abandon their own. He was trying to get Alabamians to fight Alabamans. When this is so the cause of the people is like ly to suffer. In other words, the rail- road crowd recognizes, that while they are trusts and outsiders, they must en- list enough Alabama men with them to whip the fight against the people. They would get our own people to fight our own people. which the speaker never ex- pected them to do as long as the farm CTS with their hard common sense were able to control the situation they are now.
 In winding up his speech the governor let it be known that the present admin istration Is for the farmer and will pro- tect him at all times from the greed and selfshness of the trust or anything or anybody else.

Selma. October -9.-tSpeeial.)-It is an- ticipated that within two weeks a stock company will be organized in Selma and Marion, the purpose of which will be the building of the much talked about cleo tric railway from Selma to Marion Sec retary Slater of the Selma Commercial and Industrial association is in receipt of information to that effect and stated today that he felt certain the line would be built, and built soon.
 This line was projected year or 50 ago and considerable interest was aroused. Meetings were held in Selma and Marion. and at one time it seemed that the road was a certainty. It was allowed to die down. however, but lately there has been a resurrection of the pro- ject and now the report is that the line will be built
 If the line is built to Marion it is pos sble that it will be extended to Greens boro or it will be built across to Union- town and Faunsdale and return, making loop line.

A BREAKFAST NOTE

Men and women are now rushing into print for the purpose of showing how physically strong and mentally nimble they are in consequence of a meager diet and long-continued chewing at meals A "brain worker" writes to a New York newspaper that she thinks burning thoughts after a breakfast of a few prunes and piece of stale bread. As the young man said when there was talk of board, lodging and washing in return for work: "My washing is is light; it s a shirt and drawer"
 In the articles about chewing and Fleteherism there are references ire quently to Gladstone and his giving many ehews to each morsel he took into his mouth. Long before Gladstone dis closed the secret of his physical strength Tn old age, a shrewd old man, Wolff. the corneutter of Leadenhall street. London, who left fortune of &l00,OOO by his skill in ehiropody, ascribed his own longevity and vigor to his practice of chewing each bit of food at least thirty-fve times.
 As for breakfast, the ancient Romans were practically breakfastless. They took piece of dry bread, raisin or two, or date, olive, fig. Breakfast with them was not meal, but eere- mony. It is doubtful whether true Roman ever sat down to it. Many Ro- mans today take nothing into their stomaehs before II or 12 o'clock except small cup of black coffee, which is sometimes laced with rum.

tribute necessary for the assertion of our self respect at home and abroad needs no amendment in the direction of increased powers that would destroy the balance between them and those re- served by the states.'
 Does Judge Gray mean by this that the federal government, though exercis' ing plenary power in the field of for eign relations, should remain powerless in the face of great governmental prob lens affecting the whole nation, with which no one state can effectually grap- ple2 Does he ask us to contemplate with satisfaction nation all powerful abroad and impotent to deal with its domestic eoncernss A nation bound and gagged within its own domains, yet free to do as it pleases as a world power2 It is true, as Judge Gray says, that the doctrine of unlimited federal powers is full of peril to our liberties, but is not the doctrine that the federal power ought not to be increased sutfi- ciently to cope with industrial and com mercial conditions entirely beyond the control of any one state equally full of peril to our liberties'
 If we have not misinterpreted Judge Gray's meaning, he is wholly out of touch with that vast body of public sentiment which sustains President Roosevelt in his actual campaign against national abuses, and which sup ports Mir. Bryan s proposals for dealing with the same abuses. Neither desires to reduce the states to satrapies, nor to deprive them of their police, powers, but both would use all the constitutional power lodged in the federal government to protect the citizens and to promote justice among men. The states have nothing to lose from such a policy, and the people have everything to gain. If the constitution stands in the way of national reforms imperatively demand ed, it would have to be changed, either by amendment or by constructive inter pretation. There is no prospect that the American people will submit to be chained to a form of words. Washing ton Herald.

Colorado's Wild Tobacco

Prof. Fritz Knorr, of the Colorado Agricultural College, has found tobacco growing wild in great profusion in the Montezuma valley of Colorado. Prof. Knorr is a native of Kentucky and knows tobacco culture all the way from planting the seed to breaking the necks of the big green worms. While attending the farmers institute at Cor. tez, in the Montezuma valley, Prof. Knorr was asked tos uggest a method of eradicating troublesome weed. He took sample of the weed to examine 1t, and was amazed to see in it a fine specimen of wild tobacco. It seems that none of the farmers there were familiar with the tobacco plant and did not recognize the obnoxious weed as the ancestor of the cigars they had been smoking. It is believed that to. bacco was raised extensively in the Montezuma valleys ages ago by the cliff dwellers.-New York Tribune.

Why Japan Will Keep Peace

Anyone who takes the trouble to study the situation can come to no other conclusion than that Japan ism t think ing of war with the United States. She knows very we'll that though she might gain temporary triumph she would, in the end, be crushed. She is so deeply in debt now that it is all she can do to meet the interest on her obli gations. On the other hand, the United States is the richest nation on the globe. Japan wouidn t be at war with the United States a month before she would be aware of her financial weak ness. General Kuroki, who, only re- gently returned to Japan from this country, saw enough to convince the Japanese people that they could com init no greater folly than to invite war was with the American people. And they have no excuse for a war with this country. Therefore, there being no ex. cuse, it is safe to say that they will not be guilty of the folly of bringing about a war.--Savannah News.

COPPER NOT TOO HIGH
John R. Stanton Can See No Reason
 for Reduction in Prices

John R. Stanton, the Lake copper mine owner, contributed something to the controversy over the public course of the copper market. He agrees with the United Metal Selling company off cials, who have refused to admit in the last month or two, since the question of the future price of copper has been actively discussed, that there was any ground for hope of a reduction in the current quotations.
 "The situation is as strong as it was a year ago, from the standpoint of pro duction and consumption, MT. stanton said. "There has been no increase in copper production, while it would ap- pear that the business of the big con suming companies has increased since the first of the year. This would seem to indicate an increase in consumption. There is no reason why prices should decline.
 cit is my opinion that if there were reaction in copper, buying move ment of ordinary proportions would re- suit in an immediate restoration of prices to the high level of the year.
 While the big selling companies con. tinue to quote Lake copper at 25ls cents per pound and Electrolytic at 25A, there have been no sales at these prices since the big consumers covered their requirements for the first half of the year. Smaller consumers, however, as is well known, have been buying cop considerable reductions from these prices, but none from the United Metal Selling company. The nominal price of Lake copper is 24 cents per pound on the New York metal exchange, and of Electrolytic 22.5O cents.
 A number of the smaller producers and consumers buy and sell at the aver age quotations of the exchange, and there are also number of metal dealers in New York who say they have copper to sell at the asking prices of the metal exchange. Recent low prices of stand ard copper in London have made it pos sible to make imports of this grade and sell it at a profit after paying trans portation and refining charges.
 The big copper consumers will appear in the market before long to buy sup plies for their fall and winter consump. tion. When they do, it will see whether the big sellers are able to maintain the prices.

JUDGE GRAY's PLATFORM

Judge George Gray of Delaware strongly condemns what he calls the "new federalism" in an address deliv. cred before the Pennsylvania Bar asso. citation. Judge Gray views the ques. tion of federal power over interstate commerce from a somewhat different angle than does Senator Knox, vet reaches substantially the same prac- tical conclusions respecting the limita. tions of that power. He recognizes the widening scope of the federal power over commerce, but he opposes it's use to centralize government under pretense of regulating interstate commerce. As instances of such eentralization, Judge Gray mentions the federal child labor bill, and the proposal to regulate inter. state commerce under the post roads clause of the constitution. Both pro. Jeets, in Judge Gray opinion, would encroach seriously upon the police power or the states, and if the principles in volved in them were extended, ''little power of managing their own affairs would be left to the states"
 Judge Gray's constitutional ortho- doxy IS so pronounced that he is op. posed altogether to any alteration in the constitution, for he says:
 "A constitution which has clothed our government with every national at
