THE DREAMER.

He builds as he can, as he will,
In weakness or strength as it seems !;
And it is what it is; for his skill
Is only the truth of his dreams,
And his dreams are as strong as his faith,
Or as weak as the fears that they own /;
And what to his soul either sayeth,
That is, and that guides him alone.
So some ships that are stately and fair
Go down for a morsel of faith;
While some thistle-down barks, light as
air,
No storm can move out of their path.

CONvICTS ON
The CANAL
Plan to Get Rid of Negro
Criminals.
A Washington speciaI says:


A scheme that is sensational
If nothing else, and which is
likely to attract widespread at
tention, if given serious consid-
Grafton by the administration. is
proposed by Harry StilwelI Ed
wards, the noted writer of negro
stories, who strongly favors the
employment of convict labor on
the Panama canal. MIR. Edit
wards is postmaster at Macon,
Ga, and one of the leading Re-
publicans in that State. He will
propose to President Roosevelt
the consideration of negro con-
victs from the Southern States
as workers on the big ditch
when the successful contractor
gets started.
According to Mr.. Edwards this
plan would solve two problems.
First it would get the canal dug,
and second it would stop the
fight of organized labor against
convict labor laws of the South
ern States. The Georgian fig
ures it out that nearly 10. 300
convicts could be furnished he
canal contractors by various
States. which he be-
lieves would be glad to get rid
of them. These negroes moved
out of the South and beyond the
reach of those private contrac-
tors who now employ them would
give other laborers more work.
In order tn carry out this plan,
special legislation
would have to be passed by the
States affected, as we'll as by the
Federal Congress. Under the
present laws convicts deported
beyond the lines of the State in
which they are confined would
DC subject to haDeas corpus pro-
The Isthmus of Pana-
ma is American territory, thus
hey could be reached by the
necessary Federal laws passed
o cover the subject
AS yet Mr.. Edwards has not
made formal proposition to the
President, but after looking into
he situation fully he will do SO.

Pure Food Law Hits Louisiana
A Lick.
A New Oaleans special says

"A new OaleanS Speclal says:
1t is a fact that nearly all the
sugar cane syrup and molasses
output of Louisiana last fall is
unmarketable under the strict
Interpretation of the pure food
law. This was brought out in
the correspondence made public
here today between the secretary
of agriculture and the Louisiana
sugar dealers. The dealers point
ed out to Mr.. Wilson that for
fifty years sulphur had been
used in this state in treating
cane juice for Qualification, and
that because of the widely pub
llshed but erroneous statement
last fall that the department of
agriculture would permit the use
of sulphur to be continued, the
crop which is marketed during
1907 was made in the old way.
In few instances this product
has already been refused by
those who contracted to take it,
the contractors fearing the law.

Columbus Eaten
Up BY Birmingh am

The Basket Ball Team of ths
Columbus Athletic Association
went to Birmingham on Friday
noon to play the Y. M. G. A
team of the Alabama city Friday
night. The game was pulled of
as scheduled and the Birming-
ham Age-Herald, tells the sad
story in the following way:
The Columbus Athletic club
basketball team has gone back
home, leaving a sad tale behind
it. The Young Mems Christian
association gave it drubbing
last night from which it will take
some time to recover. Never
before have scores been piled
two by two on top of each other
until they reached the phenome-
nal height of so points, in any
match gaTe previously played
in Birmingham, but this was the
feat accomplished by the local
squad last night. The final re-
suit was 80 to 10.
From start to finish the game
was slow and sometimes monot-
onous. AS general thing it
was mere walk from the center
to the Y. NJ. C. A. goal. rhe
referee would throw up the ball,
and in moment it would be
gently dropped into it's cradle.
Toeis galore aided to the rag
gedness of the contest. Colum-
bus aggregated %, while the Y.
NJ. G.. A. becoming careless,
heaped up % to it's own credit.
The whole hing was too easy.
One man, Henry c.. Chairsell
threw 19 field goals, making 80
points, more than are usually
scored during the whole of a
game. Hodgkins was the only
man to make a field goal for CO.
lumbus, throwing six during both
halves.
Price of the association made
an enviable record from the foul
line with eleven successful goals
out of fifteen trials. There were
very few other features on ac-
count of the all round poor ef-
forts of Columbus, both at guard
ing and field throws. The line
up is here given:
