 At the hour that the funeral ser vices over the remains of the late Prof. R. E. Hardaway were being held at Amelia, Va, this morning. memorial services to his memory were also held at the Broad street Presbyterian church. E ~ 1 The scholars. of the Dallas Academy assembl ed at that school and in body. with their teachers. marched to the church. The scholars of the Baker School did not take part in the ser vices as they had been dismissed be- fore the services had been agreed upon.

 Factory VIII Soon Be Built.
 A. L. Church of Bridgeport, Ala, and George Pannell of Valdosta, Ga., spent today in Selma completing ar engagements for the erection of the necessary house which will be used by their crate and box factory which they will start in this city about January 1. The site for this plant in the Eastern part of the city on the bank of the Alabama river was purchased several months ago and the work of building the necessary buildings will be started within the next few weeks.
 The box and crate factory will be one of the largest in the South when 1t is completed. The plant will employ @ quite an addition to the industries of the city. The owners believe now that the factory will be put In operation about the beginning of the new year. In connection with the factory the company which will build the same will put an independent steam boat on the Alabama river, This boat will be used for the purpose of bringing the raw material which the plant will use to the factory, and for the shipping of the finished product to Mobile from which point it will be shipped to all parts of the world

genial saint was turned into real flesh and blood for just so many children. Surely this was a true, well-conceived philanthropy.
 There seems to be no reason to think a similar scheme could not be follow ed out here in New Haven by some lover or lovers of childhood The New Haven postoffice authorities have said that they could make arrangements so that any self-appointed Santa Clauses, who wish to undertake the matter and can prove to the postofice that they are in earnest, can have access to these Santa Claus letters. Who will step for ward to do his little to make Christ mas morn a time of gladness in many New Haven home which would not be such otherwise?

discloses the same ambition 10 succeed underneath. In other words, there is every prospect that during the next two years the city of New Haven will have reason to be satisfied with its political government, and it will be the pleasure. as it is the duty of The Jour nal and Courier to support the admin istration in every undertaking for the public good.
 It is more of a job than 1t used to be to govern the city of New Haven, and there are more ways for the gov erning administration to commend it. self to the people. It is at the same time comparatively easy task if those who are burdened with the cares of office will at the outset of their career regard their work as essentially busi- ness undertaking. Not a single one of the mayors appolntees is to be asked to consider a political theory or prin-
 
 clple any more than he would be so asked had he been given a position in one of the large factories of the city. No one would expect Mir. Rogers to give e political opinion when asked to interpret the laws, and no one should expect the board of public works to be managed In other than business spir- 1t. If the incoming administration will only accept the rule for it's guidance which is the rule of business it will find before it is through that it has been clever as political leader. There are more votes in business admins tration than in political one, as his tory shows.

JOY IN CHICAGO.

There is joy in Chicago and woe in Kansas City, St. Louis and few other ambitious towns. Chicago has been chosen as the place of meeting of the Republican National Convention next June. And now that the choice has been made all but the severely disap- pointed will feel that it is on the whole a wise one. Chicago is a center of population. It Is a railroad center. It is near the center of the country, and thus as convenient for all who will attend the convention as any place would be. It went into the con test for the convention with the real Chicago spirit, and 1t deserves its sue cess.
 Perhaps Kansas City will be consol- ed by being chosen ss the place for the Democratic National Convention. It has been and. may be again. If it isn't it win have to wait another four years, when it can justly make more Claims" than it can now.

Al RAPID CoUS1RY.

This is a rapid country. Only one short month ago we were in the dumps, the doldruns, and, as some went so far as to say the devils grip. But we have squirmed out pretty we'll. There has been very cheering and profitable rise in stocks and bonds, money is easier. the Secretary of the Treasury has discovered that only $25, 100000 of Panama bonds are necessary, when he started out with the notion that $50, 1000. 900 were, and he will issue only s15,OOo,0Oo of the three per cent. certificates of indebted ness of which he originally offered s1O0, 100000. Business is much more confident than 1t was, and the great scare now looks about as ridiculous as, in a sense, 1t was. Soon everything will be quiet for awhile, and we shall perhaps have little peace until the cry of the campaign orator is heard in the land
 Of course it will not quite do to as- sume that nothing real has happened in finance and business, but the per formance was 8 good deal less req than it seemed to be. The indications are that the depression which usuall, follows such performances is not going to be serious and prolonged That it will not be every well-disposed per. son will hope.

WHo'LL BE SANTA cLAUse

Christmas is coming. The bells will soon be ringing both at the churches and in the hands of the Salvation Army lassies while they stand watch at their contribution pots as they hang from the familiar tripods at almost every busy street corner in the big cities of the country, We can probably all agree that there is no legendary hero of childhood, no good fairy, nor spirit of goodness that can be compar- ed with Santa Claus. In him is friend of childhood that stands without con- parison. The Hiawatha of the Indian children, the Apollo and the Muses that the Greeks were wont to invocate, even the latter-day Peter Pan, hasten into insignihcance when the spirit of Santa Claus comes to mind. A sad day of childhod it is, indeed, when there come doubts of his existence; sad- der one it is when we learn that he is only make believe"
 At just about this time every year the postofiices of the land are begin ming to be beseiged with hosts of let- ters that hail from young and tender hearts, children blessed in their ig- norance that Santa Claus is not a I
 reality but rather one of the younger hearted pillars of the church, who has consented to don the whiskers and the red cloak and to carry the pack oS toys and appear from within a papier mache chimney just so that the fire at the altar of the dearest and most lovable of saints may be kept burning brightly in the hearts of the children still.
 Our news columns tell something of the story of these Santa Claus letters as they come to the New Haven post office, each breathing story of child hood wants from church chimes and automobiles to mittens. True philan- thropy is something not far short of a fine art. We cannot but believe that Nathan Straus' idea was an excellent one last year when he conceived the plan of getting from the New York postoffice at least some of the letters sent in this way to Santa Claus. The writers of these letters were remem- bered when the great natal day rolled around just as if the gifts had come from living Santa. The spirit of the

ATTACKING THE PRESIDENT.

There is lack of sobriety in some of the attacks being made upon Presi- dent Roosevelt by the irritated news papers He is not the greatest man that ever lived though he has enjoyed a popularity very few men in history enjoyed. He has remarkable capacity for work which shows itself best in the multiplicity of things he attends to- He believes in himself and is to that ex- tent self-centered in his judgments, but he is not what one newspaper call ed him the other day. "a conscience less and reckless demagogue."
 We have had occasion to criticise the President and at times to Ques- ton his judgment, but it has never en- tered our head to suspect the charac- ter of his motives or to attribute to him undertakings which are selfish and sordid in their character. We have watched too many newspapers wink incredulously with each fresh refer ence to a possible third term to mis- understand their meaning, though not one of them has the slightest ground for believing that he di6 not mean ex- actly what he said when he declined to be again candidate for the presiden- cy, Our attention has been called to Ithe latest WatLerson outbreak in which he sees the introduction of third. fourth and fifth term ending finally in a life term, without or with heir pre- sumptives, as the. conditions may war rant. Says MT. Watterson In the col umns of his newspaper: "Give him a third term, fourth and fifth and in case he survived these life tenure would not only come easy, but be a matter of course"
 We are led to resent these sharp as- saults upon President Roosevelt from sense of disturbed justice Ills mis-
 takes are the mistakes of ah earnest and impetuous man, not those of .
 schemer and conspiratcr. The Ameri.
 can people make no mistake in theii

SOME OF TEE WASHINGTON T4IK

It is a cold day, and also Q warm day when they don't find something thrilling to talk about in Washington Members of Congress are now asking whether the; military authorities fear that this country win soon become ''in- volved in war" This questioning is based on the fact that the War depart ment has asked for the enormous sum of $sS,400. GOO, for Notifications and other defensive military works, which is more than five times the amount ap- propriated for the current year. This estimate most of which is for pro- posed defenses in the Philippines and other insular possessions, has caused no end of talk among the Republican leaders in Congress The various de- partment officers have asked for near ly s1O0. 100000 more money next year than was appropriated for the present year, and a good part of this sum is represented in the demands of army officers who build guns and forts. In view of the generally known wish of the leaders to economize the heavy estimates for war purposes have cve- ated some apprehension. If there is real necessity for these enormous ax- l'cnditures for war purposes" says a member os the House Committee ,,n Appropriations, .1t ought to be stated in plain language. don't believe Con gress will approve the estin ates for $3S,400,0a9 for Qualifications and war supplies thls year in view of tho fact that we gave only Ss,S00, ,O0o for ieS. If this money is required, however, in order to put the nation in state of defense agamst d probable fo' q stalc- ment to this effect ought to be male. It will be necessary in order to bring forth the money"
 We may yet zee renewed antielty' at Lighthouse Point. The defenses there need an appropriation.

 Although the numerous bills which win be introduced in the coming ses- sion of congress to curb speculation arc not likely to meet with more success than formerly. they will serve as safety valves for the escape of much windy debate It is already pretty evident that there will be little besides talk in the coming session, and marginal sales of stocks, puts and calls and the like devices of modern speculation will fur nish as good @ theme for discussion as any other, notwithstanding that 1t haS been thoroughly thrashed out already. This will be especially the case sincs the stand putters in congress have both the will and the power to prevent any remedial legislation on the tariff sys- tenn.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Afadison,s Grave.
(Boston Transcript.)


 Some years ago when congress, hav- ing had its attention called to the fact that the grave of Madison was unmark
 ed, appropriated small sum for q
 shaft to be erected to his memory there
 was a gathering of the Madison clan at
 the old honestead that suitable epi-
 taph might be selected, Each of the re-
 Iatives came with a verse or an in
 scription, some of which were so long
 that the base of the proposed monu- |ment would have not been large enough
 to contain the lines. The last of the clan to speak was q distant cousin of Madison. When he was called upon he had this to say, and he said 1t in such Ia tone of fnality that he carried the day: No epitaph is necessary The | one word Madison is sufficient. Ha was tho first of the line and VIC all know he Is the last" There was ric applause, but the suggestion was adopted. President Roosevelt in his pilgrimage to-day found the one word l hMadIson'' at the base of the shnft which marks the grave of predecessor l in the White House.

THE eonF-BALL.

When EngIend's House of Lords set ties legal question it may b. regard ed as settled. So the great golf-ball controversy which has long been going on is ended The House of T.,rlr has decided, as two lower court had al- ready declared, that tho patent must fail for want of subject matter All the legal authorities are agreed that there was never any ground for gran,!t5 patent at all; that what was done in this case had been done many times before by different people, and that the Haskell ball was merely the applica- tion to an old and conservative game like golf of principles that had been already adopted in other pastimes. The decision will be good news to golfers, for all the world is set free to make balls with rubber core, and, in one form or another, these have practical ly superseded the "gutty" of other days, as that had driven it's predeces- sor of packed feathers out of the field Vast sums depended upon this decis- ion. The profits of golf-ball making have been shown to be enormous. Now that anybody can manufacture the rubber-cored ball and no royalties have to be paid, the golfer will be certain to get just the article that he finds best suited to himself at merely commercial profit.
 So progress justice and the inter- ests of noble game.

JOE PHILIPI, L0WLY FINANCIER.
 A good many people in this big and airy country are so ambitious to be high fnanciers that they entirely ig- nore the money there is in being a lowly financier and in the end they are worse off than they would have been with less ambition and more sense. The other day the story was told of the Massachusetts man who had become independent by saving twenty-five thousand ten-cent pieces and buying farm with them. Now comes from Ta- coma the story of Joe Philipi, an Ital- Ian bootblack who recently sold his stand to the Bootblacks Trust, formed by Greeks to eliminate negroes and Italians from the business, and retired with fortune of $6O,OOO. Philipi be- gan by earning nickels and dimes, and saving them. His next step toward in- dependence was making small invest ments in real estate. Tacoma, and Philipfs business, grew substantially His investments brought good returns. He retires with fortune sufficient to make him independent in this coun- try or wealthy in Italy.
 These incidents show what can be and is done. They also show what is not done by people who are much toe smart to come down to any such trifling
