The Jamestown Exposition.

Tt is almost certain that the James, town exposition will be reopened in the spring of 1908 and remain open for six months.' said L. N. Brown of Nor folk
 We have q very fine exposition and patriotic and thoughtful people who visited it during the fall when every thing was completed were enthusiastic Tn their praise of it. It vas unfor- tunate for the enterprise that it was opened before the government pier was finished and before all the exhibits were in place. The kickers' started out in May and they kept up their knocking all through the summer. Now that the exposition as seen at it's best has been talked over and will con- tinue to be discussed intelligent1y and appreciatively, there will be a keen de- sire on the part of those who failed to attend this year to visit it next year.
 This will probably be the last ex position of a national character to be held within the next twenty years or more, and everybody sh ould try to see it. It is safe to say the receipts in 1908 will double those of 1907

The Sub- Treasury

The middle south is entitled to a sub-treasury, and Birmingham is the logical place for it; 4ogical both from a geographical and financial point Of view. The sub-treasury would have been established here before now but for Atlanta's S selfish attitude. When the Georgia metropolis lost in the contest before the ways and means committee of Congress and it was found that Birmingham was the choice of the other southern cities, then our ambitious neghbor went to work to have the sub-treasury matter held in abeyance.
 Representative Underwood will re- new his efforts to have a sub-treasury created for this part of the south and he is almost sure to have the question settled at this session of Congress,
 
 payrolls, and banking transactions the Greater Birmingham easily leads At lanta and all the other cities in the section to be served by new sub treasury. Underwood will have the strong and effective backing of all the 11 lon, .alt d Sn,, otf,v. Bankhead and Senator Johnston. and the hearty aid of many other southern Congressmen. The order for opening sub-treasury in Birmingham will come probably before next summer. Temporary quarters will have to be used, but soon after the next census, which will show Greater Birmingham's

RAISES RATS FOR MARKET.

Granby (MassD Cor. New York Herald
 Miss Abbie F. c. Lathrop, whose home is fve-mile drive from both Chicapee and Holyoke. in the town of Granby, has adopted a unique business as the means of making a living. She has established a rat farm and at pres ent has more than 1900 rats and mice of every variety under her charge.
 It is five years since Miss Lathrop started breeding mice as a business. At first she sold the mice to the bird stores and fanciers to be sold again as pets. Then came the demand from colleges for rats and mice upon which to try experiments. The medical col leges in particular have great use for tn em.
 Soon Miss Lathrop's orders began to pour in and the business was increased until the few boxes were turned aside and a sh ed was used as home for the animals. Now an additional building has been erected and divided into com partments for the mice. The animals multiply so rapidly that Miss Lathrop would soon be overrun were it not for the fact that she is continually ship ping away large consignments of them

Readiustinn Wages.


 "1n view of the extreme dullness in the iron market, several of the furnace com panies have begun to readjust wages, remarked former operator. .The men whose wages have been cut accepted the stutaion readily. even eheerfully, when they were informed that the reduction was only temporary and that just soon as meltefs began to buy iron again at figures which would justify it wages would be advanced.
 ''rhe sooner the readjustment of the cost of making iron is effected the sooner will the iron market revive. Consumers are naturally holding off because they know that wages will be readjusted. When buying movement starts up in the New Year 1t is almost sure to be ac- tive, and an active market usually means advancing prices. During the holiday season, when the men knock off and op- eraions become slack would seem to be the time to readjust. With a revival in the market. idle furnaces will be put back in blast"

Reserved Rluhts of the States

Alabama is part of the Jurisdiction of the circuit court of appeals that sits in New Orleans. It was before this court that an appeal was brought by the state of Texas against a subsidiary company of the Standard Oil, the Waters-Pierce Oil company of Texas. Application had been made for re- ceiver of that company in both the fed eral and the state courts of Texas. The federal court appointed a receiver, holding that the state court had no jurisdiction in the matter. The state of Texas appealed the case to the cir cult court of appeals, and that court decided on Tuesday last that the state court did have jurisdiction, and that the federal court sitting at Sherman, Tex, had no power to abolish the re- ceiver appointed by the state court.
 The receivership occurred in connec- |fion with suit by the state of Texas

City's Income Next Year

The proposed license tax, on daily newspapers now before the Birming- ham aldermen presents an increase or 1900 per cent, and this at least should give those newspapers freedom of dis cussion without any chance of being considered tax-dodgers.
 The preparation of a license sched- ule for trying year, with revenue from saloons cut off, was almost as difficult as the preparation of a tariff bill even of the sweeping Dingley sort The miscellaneous committee has framed a system of licenses with per haps a minimum of injustice.
 Few escape unhurt. The merchants tax is considered by the committee unjust to an enterprising body of men, and the committee recommended that it be repealed and that street tax of s3 a head be put in it's place. This is regarded a just and equitable proposi- tion. So, too, in the case of license of the railway, light and power company, which stood at $35,0O0. The commit tee concluded that this was all the service could reasonably be asked to stand Inasmuch as such a tax comes out of the people who ride it is cer- tainly heavy enough, especially if a constant betterment of our trolley lines be desired
 The miscellaneous committee has no doubt prepared schedule that will, if adopted make good the loss in revenue due from prohibition and the proposed repeal of the merchants tax. The in- crease in licenses totals $73,646; the proposed street tax will bring in $30.- 900, and the new bridge and road law will make available s40,000 more--a total of $143,646. This sum, together with series of cuts in expenditures, will bring the city's income and outgo together until 1909, when a larger in- come will be derived from increases in taxable values.

YIELD OF AMERICAN FARMS

 1906, IT per cent greater than that of 1905, 20 per cent above that of 1904, 25 per cent in excess of that for 1905, and 57 per cent greater tn an the total value for 1899.
 It is superfiuous for the report to state that the prices of butter and milk have advanced So has the price of eggs and many other dairy products. Still the dairy products of the country were worth nearly sS0O 900 ,o00 in 1907, or much more than any crop save corn. The poultry and egg products for 1907 are estimated at more than $500 000, GOO these products being worth more than the wheat crop
 matter of special public interest is the information that the area of for est land reserved by the government was increased during 1907 by 43,000 900 acres. making the total area of the na- tional forests more than 160000 900 acres. The income from these fore sts amounts to s1.53o ,OOo-twice as much as the income for 1906.

Repeal ot Loan Tax Bill

The bill taxing foreign" money loaned in this state has been repealed Governor Conner has signed the Haley bill, which, although slightly disfgured, Is still in the ring. By foreign" money is meant all money that comes from sources without the bounds of Ala bama. Atlanta money is therefore classed as foreign money, and money sent from New England or New York to be loaned here is as foreign as money from the depths of Darkest Europe.
 The law taxing foreign money loaned in this state was passed at the second session of the present legislature, and the third session repealed it. It scarcely went into effect at all It did, how ever, do the state no little harm, but time and the action of the legislature will speedily restore affairs in the loan market to a normal condition. All are glad this state will not be handicapped in the use of money. We need foreign money here for the development of our natural resources, and the repeal of the loan tax bill will place us on an equal footing again. No other state will get the money that we need and are entitled to.

BRAVE COLLEGE BOYS.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Boys will be boys, and that portion of the life of college boys which is con- spicuous before the outside world is the foolish, thoughtless, selfish, or defiant portion. But every now and then some thing occurs to show that the qualities which distinguish college men in later years are not acquired suddenly with the sheepskin, but have lain latent, but de- veloping, in the college boys.
 McClure's Magazine illustrates this truth in it's account of some of the de- tails of the fire at Ithaca last Decem- Der, which destroyed the fraternity home of one group of Cornell university stu dents causing the death of four of the students. At the same time the lives of three members of the volunteer fire de- partment were crushed out by a falling wall showing that outside of college and inside the same devotion, even to the end, was to be found. If the emphasis is placed upon the deeds of the college boys 1t is only because the public expects hero ism as a matter of course from firemen, paid or volunteer, but too many people think of college boys as a class by them selves, with little of the ordinary respon- abilities or virtues of young manhood.
 Of the four boys who lost their lives one sacrificed his in an attempt to save a friend. The other three were victims. But of the p others who were In the house at the time the fire broke out and who escaped with their lives not one -a1 +ard md verely injured in their attempts to save their fellows The story as told in Me- Clures is one to make the reader proud of the behavior of these American boys.
 The ideal college boy, or, better, the actual college boy, is not the ponoerous brute of the cartoonists fancy or the silly cigarette fiend of the comic opera, but the cool, heroic, unselfish lad who was revealed In the light of the blaze of the Chi Psi house at Ithaca.

THE TERMINATES.
the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 About a quarter of century ago there was much use of the word 'effeminate" as sort of slur upon man who was not rough, brutal, vulgar. and profane. If a man behaved himself as a genteel gentleman, he was "effeminate." If he re- fused to pick a quarrel. he was 'teffem- mate" If he dressed himself in good taste, though within his income, he was 'effemnate." If he wore gloves and pat ent leather shoes and had his trousers pressed. he was ''effeminate" If he re- fused to soak at the bar, declined a ei- gar. hesitated to indulge in rowdyism, he was "effeminate' And yet-and yet--one night in a public resort in this city one of these 'effemlnates' in kid gloves gave John L. Sullivan the worst laying out John ever got. It almost made gentle man of John.

EXTENDING FEDERAL POWER.

From the Boston Herald.
 The federal court of appeals at St. Louis has just rendered a decision in a test case brought by railroad company which constitutes a still further encroach- men on jealousy guarded state rights. The court rules that every part of every transportation of articles of commerce in a continuous passage from an incep- tion in one state to a prescribed destins- ton in another state is transaction of interstate commerce, and, there fore that a railroad, although wholly within the state lines, accepting and handling such commerce is subject to the interstate commerce law and regulation by the commission. There is no railroad in the country which does not handle interstate commerce. under this defini- tion, and the decree of the court, there- fore, extends the federal power over all roads. The action upon which the opin- ion was rendered was a suit to inforce the safety appliance law in relation to brake equipments upon Colorado noun tain railroad. If finally sustained there will be little left of state control over railroads
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-12-06

the Waters-Pierce company was but branch of the Standard Oil trust, and as such it became subject to the pen alties mentioned. The state asked the court to put an end to it's business in Texas, and for the appointment of q receiver At the same time a stock holder of the Waters-Pierce company also asked for the appointment of re- ceiver, and his application was filed in a federal court. One was appointed by the federal court. The state inter- ceiver discharged, and the property turned over to the state receiver. The federal court in Texas would not sus- tain the state, and so an appeal was taken. This appeal was heard in the circuit court of appeals on Tuesday,
 It is this same circuit court of ap- peals that will at first review Judge Jones acts in the railway rate cases, and the decision in the Waters Pierce case gives promise that the reserved rights of the states may secure an in- ming at New Orleans and that the rail- roads may have to look to Washington for redress of their ills, real or i'm agiuary.

Peonaqe In the South

Assistant Attorney General Charles w. Russell was appointed to find cases of peonage in the south, and it would be strange indeed if his detectives did not now and then unearth case of it. The few cases that he has found have been grossly exaggerated, aud reports have gone abroad that all labor is in danger of being enslayed in the south.
 As a matter of fact, there are no more cases of involuntary servitude in the south than in the north, but the administration has not seen fit to ap- point an assistant attorney general specially to hunt down cases of peon- age in that section. The line is drawn against the south apparently on party grounds The south is obstinately dem- ocratic, and it is therefore to be pun ished in one respect or another.
 Nor are the laws in favor of the enforcement of labor contracts more stringent in the south than in the north. These laws are open to abuses in either section, and the chances are very good that there are as many abuses in one section as in the other.
 None of these laws for the enforce ment of labor contracts are beyond criticism, but when MT. Russell goes out of his way to denounce the va grancy laws, contract labor or employ ment laws, fraudulent pretense or false promise laws of the south, over looking the fact that many northern states have such laws, and that there are as many abuses under one set as under the other he does the south an injury, comparatively speaking. MT. Russell goes on in his raid upon the south to write as follows in his annual report made to the Attorney General
 "As I have already suggested, whether constitutional or not, and whether orig inally intended to be used as they are, these laws have become a trap for the enslavement of white workmen as well as black. and ought to be repealed. or amended, with that fact in view. Some of them are considered to have been passed to force negro laborers to work; but If so, they are now affecting other persons, and the states formerly depending upon negro laborers eXclu- sively need twice as many hands, and are resorting to every means to obtain them from Europe. directly or indirectly
 In this way gross injustice is done to the south In this way rival imml- grafton agents are enabled to turn per sons from the south. They find their ammunition in Mir. Russells reports. These reports are, comparatively speak ing. misleading. sThere are cases of peonage in the south, but so there are in the north. The libel in the Russell raid is of a comparative nature, and it should be stopped Congress should take hold of the matter.

Presidential Politics.

The presidential campaign next year will be exceptionally exciting" said an old democrat. Prom present indica- tions Bryan will be the democratic nominee with no serious opposition in the convention; but in the republican convention there will be lively con test and no one can now call the turn.
 Whenever q third-term agitation is in evidence the interest in the out come Is acute. I remember how it was in 1880 when Grant was a candidate for a third term and we all recall the eagerness with which those of us who were partisans of Cleveland watched the proceedings of the St. Louis con vention in 1904 hoping there would be a stampede for the democratic eX-Pres- ident who had served two terms but who. in my opinion. could have been elected again
 Third termism has precendent against it. but there is something in the very audacity which would defy this unwritten law that the idea ap- peals to the imagination and makes the partisans of the third term can dfdate intensely loyal. It was so In Grants case 1t was so in Cleveland's case, and 1t will be notably true in Roosevelt's case. Anti-Roosevelt re- publicans will make a determined fight and Hughes, Knox or some other as- pirant may come off victor; but from now until the republicans make their nomination the country will be kept re nl,1 t,al+ against Bryan the latter would have a good chance to win, provided he could carry the state of New York"
