The tour OF Carrie Nation through
the south is giving the paragraphers
much material for copy, and some
good-natured, humorous shots are be-
ing fired at her. The Tampa Tribune

Appropriation for
Deepening Harbor.

The following from the Mobile Reg
lister might be of interest to some of
the Florida ports that have recently
been boasting of deep water and fine
harbors:
Mobile must view with satisfaction the
provision for Southern ports in the rivers
and harbors bill as showing a dispose
ton by congress to deal fairly with all
the ports of the country. In the appor-
tionment meiitated. Savannah harbor is
to be surveyed for a thirty-five-foot
channel, besides obtaining $1,000. 900 for
improvements, and the Savannah News
asks, ''Why should not the harbors be
deepened?" and answers the question as
follows:
''The size of the steamships which
carry the foreign commerce of the world
are being increased all the time, necessi-
tating deeper channels In harbors. And
so are the warships of this and other
countries. Only a day or two ago the
house passed the naval bill, which carries
an appropriation for two battleships of
the size of the Dreadnaught. That battle
ship is of a much deeper draught than
the Georgia. which cannot come to this
port TO receive a silver service which

Is reflection on the country that its
big battleships cannot enter the harbors
of some OF its principal ports. In fact,
there are only very few Of them they
can enter
What applies to Savannah Is true also
of Mobile, and, after it has been. recon-

States will obstruct its commercial

The attention of several of these

when it comes to having water deep

to. accommodate the whole American
navy at one time. with room enough
left for the navies of the other great
nations. This is not mere boast; we

forty or fifty at one time, and without

The Miami Metropolis notes the
fact that Ex-Governor Bloxham says
he is out of politics, and win never be
a candidate for Office again, and adds:
I'VE have known of other ex-governors
making exactly the same kind OF state
ments, but they never held water.
Once fellow gets politics into his
knot there is no getting it out again !"
The Metropolis evidently doesn't know
Bloxham, or 1t would not have made
this statement. Few men in the state
would prove stronger candidates for
any position than the man who has
twice served the state as chief execu-
tive, and he knows it.

SHAW AS HE SEEMS.

From London T. P's Weekly.
 I doubt if any man suffers less than George Bernard Shaw from the vagaries of our climate. He looks underyitalized. and his extraordinary vitality Is perhaps the most amazing thing about him. You would certainly say that his health was chronically bad-if you did not know that he never confesses, if he can possibly help it, to any least indisposition. He loks anemic, and the flesh of his face is inclined to flobbness as if he were a man who shirked his fair amount of exercise and was careless about his diet. His nose would have been appropriate to the poet Byron, who drank gin. He has the mouth of a voluptuary, the brow of a Madonna, the eyes of soldier. and the ears of a sensualist If you saw the back of his head from behind a counter. as he turned away to lift down a canister of tea, 1t would look quite like the back of the head-immensely long and narrow and showing a lot of nape-of any usual gro- cer. And I have been shaved by his very double and twin in barber's shop in the old Hampstead road. Indeed. Der nard Shaw far more resembles some re- spectacle tradesman, or decent artisan. or even a Methodist preacher, than what he is-the most brilliant epigrammatist and daring revolutionary of his time.

congestion the two lines propose 10 advance rates, and the Pacific coast lumbermen have subscribed to a $100- 900 fund for the purpose of defeating the proposed advance in railroad rates The first appeal from the pro- posed rates will be made to the inter state commerce commission.
 If they are defeated before the com mission they will have to be content with the market that naturally be- longs to them. They have no more right to widen their market by unduly low railroad rates than they have to accept rebates. Both are alike in principle, and the new adjustment should exclude both. The supply of the middle west and of the east be- longs to the south if there is anything in geography and the table of dis tances.

CAN'T ESCAPE SPEECH OF 1906,

From the Louisville Courier-J ournal.
 Scarcely year ago-to be exact, All gust 30, 1906-Mr. Bryan on his return from a tour around the world, made a notable speech at Madison Square Garden, in New York City. In that speech he elab- orated a plan for the governmental own ershp of the railways. Thoughtful dem- ocrats. who had hoped to behold once more united party and to hail a leader risen at last to the majesty of his op- portunty. stood aghast. Can MT Bryan now think that breaking of ground so new and strange. in point of fact so revo- lutlonary and startling, a wise thing foT him to have done? Can he believe that in- creased his popularity and added to his availability? Else why, after ten months of consideration and reflection, must ne qualify the declaration made with such elaboration and defiance by telling Us that there Is no desire anywhere 10 make government ownership an issue m 190s,' when neither he nor the party can escape that fatal speech of 1906?

MRS. WHITE MAY MARRY.

 The wedding, according to the report. will take place as soon as the trial Of Harry Thaw is concluded and the sensa. ton caused by the killing of Stanford White dies out.

THE FALL OF ADDICKS.

From the Detroit Free Press.
 All readers of Tom Lawsons articles on "Frenzied Finance" will remember the references to J. Edward Addlcks, the gas man, who tried for so many years to buy his way into the United States Senlte from the little state of Delaware.
 These readers will doubtless be interest ed to know that J. Edward Addicks is now dead broke, while owing millions. and that his third wife is suing him for bill of divorce.
 There has never been in the histoiy y of American politics more interruptions man or more unloyely character than l. Edward Addicks, When he was worth GOO his vulgar soul came to the conclusion that he ought to sit in the Senate with other men who possessed no more than he and believing that there was nothing in America that money would not buy, he tried to debauch the legisla- ture and people of Delaware Into giving him a seat.
 It looked for time as though he would succeed. He captured the republican or ganization and came very near securing a majority of the legislators.
 But there were men in Delaware who were resolved that the state which had been represented by the Bayards and the Saulsburys should never be disgraced by an Addicks. There were republicans and democrats whose main purpose in life was to work for this worthy end. Fortunate ly, after a fight that lasted for years during which time Delaware was only partially represented, or not represented at all, in the nations Senate, owing to the resolve that if he could not represent the state nobody else should-these men won their fight for political decency, and the gas man, his money gone, found himself a political and social derelict.
 Poetic justice has been working in tae case of J. Edward Addicks. gas man. un- scrupulous in his social relations. as well as in his political ones, inc sees his third wife, rich with his own money, suing him for divorce, while his second wife, whom he deserted for the sake of the woman who Is now suing him. died recently, leav- ing the money which Addicks was obliged to pay her to his daughter by wife No. 1, which daughter appears to have no use for her worthless father.

POVERTY OF MILLET.
From T. p. U. Weekly.

From T. P. U. weekly.
 If seems almost incredible that Millet, painter of "The Angelus," and other world-famous pictures, should have suf- fered from the poverty that forms the basis of the following story, but 1t is fact that he did. One day, indeed, he found himself without food in the house for himself and his family. In this ex- tremity Diaz offered to take two of Mii- let's drawings to Paris and make an effort to sell them. Evening came, the Milet family anxiously awaiting their friends's return If he came back without the drawings it meant bread; with them, hungry to bed Night fell. the family sitting in darkness because they felt they could not afford a light.
 At last they heard the stamping or Diazs wooden leg as he crossed the little paved court and his lusty voice ealing out: Light! Light. Where is the light The family hurried to light candle. but even while the head of the old-fashionen sulphur match was still spluttering' Diaz. who was a Spaniard, and nothing if not temperamental, slapped down two loaves of bread on the table, one after the other, in quick succession. when at last the candle was burning, he drew out sixty francs (s12) in gold, all save one piece, which he had been obliged t. change in buying the bread. He arranged the gold pieces In circle like halo round the candle, ending with the change, of which he made a neat pile.
 "Ah," sighed Mllet, as he regarded ths unhoped-for treasure. If only I could count on a sum like this every week!'
 would you turn capitallst?" reproach- fully asked Diaz.
 If to suffer is a spur to genius, Is 1t A wonder that these arbzon men were great painters?
