Beginning at Bottom

Instead of promoting high schools and colleges, instead of erecting a monument to herself in crowded city streets, Miss Anna T. Jeannes of Phil adelphia has turned towards the help less negro children in rural districts. She has given $1,000,000 as the nucleus of a fund which she naturally hopes to see enlarged by other donors. The Wall Street Journal refers to the gift as "beginning at the bottom" and the Outlook speaks of it as nourish- ment at the root.
 The high degree of illiteracy in the south can never be materially lessened while the education of the negro chill dren on the farms is neglected. The gift of Miss Jeannes has in this re- spect national bearings as we'll as a deep humanitarian feeling for the weak and the isolated Whatever tends to lift up and make more contented the humble workers on southern farms helps the state and helps the Helpless. If the south is to make In the years to come the worlds commer- cial cotton crop it is plain it will need on the farms all the negroes that are still there, and in order to keep them there opportunities to read and write should be afforded them. This Is ex- octly what Miss Jeannes proposes to 6o to the extent of the income of million dollars. While this will not go very far among ten millions of negroes, it Is a beginning, and donors may yet greatly increase 1t.
 Among the trustees of the new Jean nes gift it Is gratifying to see the name of Belton Gilreath of this city. MT. Gilreath is to the manner born, an em rloyer of negro labor In large numbers, and withal a shrewd, practical, far seeing maI. He knows the situation from A to Izzard, and he will be an excellent and wise member of the new board. It will not go far astray while it listens to his advice

WRECKERS PLUNGE
 TRAIN INTO RIVER

Los Angeles, Cal, May 22.-Private de- tectves employed by the Southern Pacific and deputies of the sheriff's office in the city joined in the search for the men who are believed to have caused this mornings disastrous wreck on the coast line, when five cars of the coast limited plunged over the edge of a trestle near West Glen dale, ten miles north of this city. The list of dead is believed to be complete with the finding of the bodies of James Victor, of whose antecedents nothing is known, and T. J. McMahon, a Santa Bar bara electrician, who was crushed be- meath the baggage car, while stealing a ride. Victor Is believed to have met death under the same conditions, but his body was not discovered until the car was partially raised from the dry bed of the Arroyo Seco. The injured number a score
 Physicians in charge of the dozen or more patients who sustained serious iT- juries tonight report that all the injured will eventually recover. A reward of $10,000 offered by the Southern Pacific company for the conviction of the person or persons responsible for the wreck, has enlisted many officers and detectives in the search for the miscreants.

Humane Society

There are evidences of a revival of interest in Birmingham's Humane so- ciety, and it might be well if general meeting of the members and citizens were called for the purpose of arous- ing public sympathy in behalf of the objects of the organization.
 The work of the society goes on, and, considering the small financial support it receives-from the city, none whatever-the record Is highly creditable; but if the contributing membership were larger, the societys usefulness would be greatly extended. The annual dues are small and there is scarcely any one earning living in this city who could not pay the amount without feeling it. The poor dumb brutes that feel the benefits of the society would, could they but speak, rise up and call every paying member blessed.

Cuba's Fifth Anniversary

On Monday last the republic of Cuba was five years old, but the Cubans were, for reasons too numerous to mention, not in a position to glorify themselves. They had celebrated but three anniversaries when party strife rut an end to their political independ- ence. President Palma had been re- elected-by himself-and party rancor soon after eliminated in a revolution. This brought out intervention.
 A second mistake Is about to be made by this country in Cuba. The first was made when we declared at the instance of the fat-headed Teller that we would not stay in Cuba. That promise, once made, had to be kept. We have made no definite promise that we will again leave Cuba, although Secretary Taft has done some unau- thorized talking in that direction. But in the absence of congressional in- structions the administration consid- CTS itself judge of the Cuban situa- tion, and 1t will probably give the Cubans another opportunity to govern themselves.
 This opportunity will, however, do neither Cuba nor this country any good. Cuba will not remain independ- ent. It is too full of loafer politicians. It is too full of mixed races who do not desire to work. It Is too full of ignorance and illiteracy. But no doubt the trial will be made. A so-called army is to be organized and Cuba is to be restored to the Cubans simply be- cause the masses expect 1t. The prop erty holders neither desire 1t nor will they long submit to the rule of the Cuban rabble.
