fell, and no little discomfort came in its train.
 If this is the beginning of cold and severe weather in the north, long winter is in store for the colder states. Down in Dixie the mercury fell on Thursday morning very close to 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and the plumbers almost won harvest. The household CTS escape was by a narrow margin.
 The almanac winter does not begin until December 22, and this wintry weather is therefore anticipating the almanac by nearly 20 days. However, milder weather is promised us, and perhaps the prevailing chilliness will prove but a temporary wave instead of the beginning of long and hard winter No one expects a winter as mild as the one of 1905-O6, but neither does any one want winter that starts as early as December 5.

"BOSSES."

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 A few days ago the Birmingham Age Herald, in commenting on the injunction cases now in the Federal court, said:
 This injunction business means con- tinued warfare, for it will go on until it is determined who is boss in Ala bama. The people elected Braxton Bragg Conner to that position, but Milton II. Smith proposes to knock his authority in an all-important matter into cooked hat"
 We regret to see the word boss used in any such connection. The people of Alabama do not elect men to be bosses, but men who will support the constitu- ton and laws of the land It is the purpose of government that laws shall be executed and that all interests shall have their rights under the law respected.
 Certain interests have seen proper to contest the legality and constitutonality of laws enacted by the legislature, but that fact does not make those responsi- ble for the contest "bosses" in any sense or the word They are demanding in a tribunal which they had perfect right to enter a hearing as to certain questions of vital import, not only to them, but all the citizens of Alabama
 If it is true that those representing the state are to take steps to have the pending questions heard before the United States supreme court, the state is to be congratulated. The matter will at last have to go there and the quicker and more direct the steps taken the better for the peace of all concerned. We sin cerely hope that the rumor will prove well founded,

VIRGINIA HAM.

From the New York Times.
 We note with amazement a cooking recipe in a New England newspaper re- 1ating to "Virginia ham, "Take ham," says the teacher of cookery, and then follows a formula in which scrubbing and soaking, slow boiling, bay leaves, vinegar and sugar are involved And this, in degenerate day, is the New England idea of the Virginia ham! Truly, the chasm has not yet been well bridged.
 The Virginia ham belongs to Virginia as surely as the terrapin belongs to Maryland, and the canvasback duck to the sedgy marshes and wild celery beds of the Chesapeake. New England has it's codfish and its chowder, it's Rhode Island clambakes and multitude of other substantial delicacies not incon- sistent with the traditions of high think ing Why should the descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers and Cape Cod whalers try to initiate the inimitable Virginia ham?
 The real article is grown on porker with a pedigree. He is not sty-fed or domestlcated He roams at will in the aoorn-strewn woods, where his ancestors have led the free life since early colonial days. He is not prize hog of the western market, no mountain of fat with blunted instincts; he is alert and wary, keen of scent and choice in his habits. Before the sacrifice, to be sure, he is partly domesticated, and fed bountifully on sweet corn, and after he has been trans formed into an article of food 1t is not only the cooking that makes him feast for gods. The Virginia smokehouse IS an institution, a glory of the state

Southern Houses.

"In recent years people of means in southern cities have been paying more attention to building. residences, with a view to winter comfort as well as sum- mer," said a citizen. "The older frame houses here in Birmingham are like barns in winter and some of the new resi- dences built for rent are difficult to keep warm. While our winters are usually mild as indicated by the thermometer, the air, when the mercury drops to 35, is sim guarly penetrating.
 "Our houses, therefore, should be as well built as those in the far north. The farther suoth one goes the more pene- trating one finds the atmosphere in damp weather. I spent a week in New Or leans in the early spring some years ago, and with the thermometer at 40 to 50 suffered greatly.
 "New corners in Birmingham who com- plain of this little touch of winter we are having will be glad to know that beauu- full Indian summer. warm and balmy. is due before Christmas"

"In God We Trust"
From Harper's weekly.

From Harpers Weekly.
 Our neighbor the Wall Street Journal thinks that the government has made mistake in striking the words Tn Goa We Trust" from the new gold eagle. It wants them put back. We understand the words were dropped in difference 10 the arguments of a certain national so- ciety for the secularization of the gov ernment, which seems to have some Sood spokesmen at Washington. It would nave suited us better If the secular society had devoted the energy it spent on seculailz- ing the new coins to relieving the sub treasury in this town of that bronze pie ture of Washington at prayer, with Wlncn some tasteless enthusiasts were recently allowed to disigure 1t. As for the gold coins, if they had never borne the plous motto it is not probable that any one would suggest that 1t ought to be put on them It has been on various of our cop per and silver coins, and is still on some of them, and has been dropped from others. Keeping it or dropping 1t is alto gether a matter of sentiment and taste Dropping it does not mean that We have developed any new sentiment of independ- ence of the Almighty, but merely that the motto does not seem suitable Tor coined money

Justice of the Street Tax

The burden imposed by prohibition should be evenly borne, and if a street tax be not imposed the entire license schedule will fall on about 1000 citi- zens. leaving about 5000 men untaxed. This is not justice or good sense. The proposed street tax of $3 a head is no more than every able-bodied citizen should pay in this critical year. When the values of real and personal prop erty are increased the street tax no doubt can be repealed. The great in- crease in general tax values will be- come available in December of next year. and it therefore follows that the miscellaneous committee simply de- sires to spread the burden of single year evenly. The committee is wholly right. It would be rank injustice to exempt 5000 citizens, putting their pro- portion of the burden on a few shoul- ders already well loaded up.
 The aldermen that have the courage of their convictions will support most of the recommendations of the mis- cellaneous committee, for these recom- mendations enable them to do away with the double taxation of merchants and 1t gives them an opportunity to spread the load justly and evenly. Expenditures should of course be re- duced, but they should not be reduced below the point of efficiency, and they need not be unduly reduced if the aldermen will do their duty as they see it.

Rivers and Harbors

The rivers and harbors congress which met in Washington on Wednes- day will conclude it's labors today, and a great impetus in more rapid i'm provement of our waterways will no doubt be ipparted by the congress. It is made up of representative men from cry part of the country, and it's size and it's enthusiasm and it's opportunity will certainly be needed.
 A broad and we'll considered system of waterways improvements is de- manded by the traffic situation. Traffic has outrun the railroads, and the man. agers of the latter are among the strongest advocates of river improve ments. The railroads are overtaxed, and each year will aggravate the sit nation unless every river capable of navigation is opened.
 All improvements will of course be DdSSu OH tditlui ouiNSsS, anu tuC work of surveying cannot be begun too soon or be prosecuted too vigorously. When the surveys are completed then a rational system of waterways i'm provements should be formulated. But until the surveys are completed there is but little to do beyond the building up of sentiment in favor of the ex- penditure of about $50000,000 year on our rivers. Other countries have , been compelled to open their rivers, and this country is experiencing like need. We need more navigable streams, and in no state is the need greater or the opportunity more inviting than in Alabama. The opening of the Warrior should be hastened, and so should the opening of the Tennessee, and the opening of the Coosa should be taken up in earnest.

What Can Santa Do?

''Can you show me any way out Of my difficulty" remarked mueh-worried lady last night 'I have two small boys, and what they want Santa Claus to bring them would fill a warehouse, and if Kris Kringle should forget one of the articles wanted these youngsters will raise all sorts of sand. My poclletbook will be Inn ited to a few dollars for each of them, and the cheapest thing they want is a grown mans tool chest. And each one also wants great big goat with great big wagon. Everyone knows that two goats will eat as much as dozen horses in addition to eating all the laundry off the clothes line, tin cans, fences, etc. A moving picture machine apiece, Irish mall wagons, and two Shetland ponies with a merry go round are also a few of the things wanted. Now, what is Santa to do?"
