THE MISSOURI MULE.

From the Washington PoPst
 Taking time by the forelock St. Louis has already started energetically on the work of preparing for the Presidents g October visit to that city. The St. Louis Republic reports that the committee on arrangements has eliminated the automo- bile from the procession which will escort the President of the Jai Alai from his landing place on the river front. Fur ther the Republic sees fit to assert that the Missouri horse is so closely linked with the Mississippi river in the history of St. Louis that any other locomotive power would be inappropriate, in view of the fact that the Missouri mule does not lend himself readily to pageantry." No particular fault Is to be found with those explanatory remarks. in so far as they relate to the automobile and the horse but the assertion that "the Missouri mule does not lend himself readily to pageant ry'' is rank heresy. All patriotic Missou- rians are, and of right ought to be, proud of the noble hybrid known and admired all over the world as the Missouri mule His fame has gone out through all the earth, and his voice to the end of the world. Wherever grim-visaged was has its wrlnkled front In commission, there the mule Is in great demand. He hauls artillery. rations, quartermasters' stores, ammunition, and all other army supplies If there Is no pageantry in a long process sion of him with ears erect and, ever and anan, waking the echoes with his melodi- ous bray. where will you find pageantry :? It may be, although 1t Is doubtful that the average mule Is less beautiful than the average horse. That. howe, " CT, depends on ones education and habits. In the matter of ladies pet dogs. the para doxical rule, ''the uglier the handsomer," has long been in full force and effect By breeding consistently from the ugliest 1t has been found practicable, in few gen erations, to produce that hideous hand someness that charms thousands of fash ionable ladies' The mule, on the contra ". has been growing better and better looking all the time, and that may be a reason why he is ruled out of a pageant fin the state in which he has become recognized and valuable institution.

ALABAMA AND FEDERAL COURTS

From the New York Tribune.
 The action of Judge Thomas G. Jones of the Middle district of Alabama in granting the Louisville and Nashville railroad an injunction restraining the Alabama authorities from enforcing against that railroad the new state passenger and freight rate laws, pend ing determination of their constution- ality fully sustains our contention that the compromises made by the Southern railway In no way abridged the author ity of the federal courts or the rights of plaintiffs seeking federal protection. Judge Jones could not prevent the Southern railway from withdrawing or modifying its appeal for a restraining order, since litigant can always aban- don a suit If he thinks such a course expedient. But the rights waived by one suitor can be claimed by another, and must be enforced in the latter's favor regardless of the terms of any compromise made by the first suitor out of court. These facts and conclusions are rather elementary; but we empha- size them because subscribers have written to us to ask If federal dignity and authority were not assailed by tn @ North Carolina and Alabama agree ments and because newspapers have as- serted that in some mysterious manner through the alleged inactivity of the administration at Washington. federal prerogatives were allowed to be fiount- ed by the states.
 Judge Jones in a recent opinion said that he would have exhausted all the power the law gives for the execution of it's process" if the Southern railway had insisted on the protection of the courts writs." It Is clear that he will exhaust the power to protect the Louisville and Nashville railroad, and that unless the state of Alabama finds means to induce the railroad to sur render out of court, as the Southern surrendered the state passenger and freight rate laws must remain sus- pended as far as the Louisville and Ma sh vile system Is concerned. We do not hink that Governor Conner will in the federal courts. It Is easier and safer to intimidate a railroad than to try to overawe a federal judge whose action is fortified by custom and pre- cedent. If the railroad chooses to stand on its rights. those rights will be sufficiently safeguarded against state annulment or interference

Crops PromisinQ

The Age-Herald is neither bull nor a bear. It would be well for the coun- try if speculative business were min imized. The law of supply and demand should control the market for the great southern staple. It will do so one of these days, when people open their eyes, and offer the defensive hand against the encroachment of the gam blers.
 The south has recently strengthened its forces for defense along this line It's farmers are not in debt. as they were some years ago, and do not in tend again to be. They have attained a period of independence by the culti- walton of food crops and made cotton surplus money proposition.
 They can hold the staple longer than they have been heretofore en- abled to do since emancipation; and they are going to command the situa- tion this goouly year. Food crops are not to be brought voluminously from the west, for they have been here pro- duced.
 The average Alabama farmer in 1907 need buy only coffee, sugar, shoes and dry goods from the merchant. The state raises or produces this year all else necessary The soil has produced in abundance, responding gloriously 10 the application of the blow and the hoe; and especially to the energies of the people.
 Corn and other food crops are al ready made, and 1t only requires a postponement of the visit of Jack Frost to make certain an average cot. ton yield. The staple crop is clean, the fruitage is large, and 1t promises well under the guiding hand of Provi- dence. Alabama Is going to make a good crop this year; and that means prosperity for months to come. There is much more in this proposition than high prices for manufactured goods or for political protection Natural en- ergy, natural gifts and natural general conditions always mean more than
 
 Alabama is concerned.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-08-20

interposed her laws of restraint. Say ages are little better than wild ani- mals so far as obeying the laws of na- ture is concerned. but they add small amount of reason to their acts which raises instinct to intelligence.
 Civilized man acts according to req son and Is melted to action by hope, the hope of reward There is no such thing as saying what constitutes re- ward, as every man has his own idea upon that subject, but it is the hopes of receiving some recompense, here or hereafter, that sets in motion the energy and intelligence of the civilized man. Reduced to first principles, the difference between animals and men, between the natural and the super natural, is the difference between in- stinct and reason.
 The purpose of education is to de- velop the reasoning powers in man, and here it is worth mentioning that there is a great difference between education and learning; visitors to a circus have seen learned pigs, but never an educated one. Unless the knowledge fed in a mans head be- comes food for rational thought such knowledge is worse than ignorance, just as dyspepsia is worse than hunger Knowledge of good and evil Is, like beauty, a fatal gift to the person whose will power Is not embedded In reason.
 The existence of restraints indicates lack of reason which in turn shows either a want of education or failure of it's purpose. If it has come to pass that men are no longer able to resist tEe temptations which exist every where; if the call of the wild, the call of nature, the call of the animal, can drown the call of reason, a reform is necessary; learning is being mistaken for education.
