 In bis letter yesterday Connie Mack asked for dates when he brings the Athletics South next spring. Last year, 1t will be remembered. none of the big league teams appeared In Mont- gomery, but this year most of them will play exhibition games here.
 When Charlie Frank makes his spring bookings he will include Montgornery. that being the way the dope got out in regard to his being the manager of the Montgomery team in 1908.

TO Cut Down the H0aro.
 There will be a meeting of the local Association this week either Tuesday or Thursday afternoon. when the af- fairs of the past season will be straighteped out There is a probabil- ity that at this meeting the present number of the members of the Board ot Directors, nine, will be cut down to live or six.
 The object of this is to solidify the local Association and have the club controlled by a few business men. Just who will be dropped from the local di- rectory is problematical and remains for the meeting to develop.

ANNEXATION OF THE AIR.

Signs Show That a Measure of Success
 Will Soon Come.
 Every one interested in aeronautics enters 1907 with the hope-if not the conviction-that this year will be rem dered memorable by remarkable ad- Vances in the science and practice of aerial flight There are unmlstabie signs that some of the initial difficult ties which have delayed progress so long are within measurable distance of being coped with sufficiently to render certain degree of success attainable. Ever since man aspired to the conquest of the air he has yearned for that first little measure of success, but for cen- turies and centuries 1t has been denied. until hope was almost lost To the pe- trol engine and the extraordinary me- chanical progress made in auto mobillsm we owe in no small measure the changed state of affairs in aero- nautics, and time alone can show how much farther forward the invaluable aid may carry us. Just as the bicycle was a revelation to engineers on the subject of transforming human energy into locomotive power, so was the light petrol engine revelation in the pro- Guction of mechanical power from fuel. In both cases the weight of the trans forming mechanism had been reduced in marvellous degree. A bicycle weighing less than 20 pounds is able to carry the weight of powerful man

FOR MORE powER AND SCOPE.

FOR lhOtE n FOh-Eh 4d1f&( Sb OL
 The Governors recommendation that the Railroad commission be given more power and scope will cause the usual amount of talk, and it will be very interesting test of the legislature. There has been complaint that the commission hasn't had power enough. It certainly hasn't had action enough to please some of the observing and critical ones. Perhaps if some way can be found to give it more power and more action too it will be more use ful body than it has been. The whole subject is a large one, and perhaps many of those who will talk much about it will not be the ones who really know. Connecticut has a big railroad land big telephone company. The the ory is that both need regulating" and that while it is too late to regulate what they have done it is not too late to regulate what they may do. The Governor seems to think, as the Pres ident seems to think. that it is for the interest of the big corporations to sub
 init to regulating which may be mild in
 comparison with what might happen if they went on unregulated.

4 FUTILE LAWMAKER

The lawmakers are as busy as usual and some of them are as futile as usual. Mir Norfleet of the Missouri legislature seems to be about the most futile of the lot He has introduced bill mak ing it unlawful for any woman to pur- chase or have for her own use more than two hats, each to cost not more than Sl9S, during any one year.
 They say in Missouri "You'll have to show me-" and of course Mir Norheet will fail in any attempt he may make to show his fellow legislators that two hats, each to cost $1,9S. are enough for woman to have in a year. And even if he could show that two hats year are one too many the situation would still be the same. The legislators could nit vote for his bill, and if they could and did it wouldn't make any differ ence. Missouri women, like Connecti- cut women, are going to continue to have all the hats they want, or can get. We may be permitted to express a mild hope that they won't continue to wear the kinds of hats they have been wear ing lately, but that is quite as far as a reasonable person ought to go.

LEARNING.

The big combinations of capitalists and capital are instructive. For in- stance, they have taught the Farmers union to think that it can control the cotton supply of the country The union plans to erect an average of two warehouses in each of the 712 cotton growing counties of the South, the warehouses having a housing capacity of 6,OOO,0O0 bales. This will cost $1O,- O00,0OO, and the union plans to spend that amount before September, 1908. The proposed warehouses will hold about one-half of the average crop, and the farmers intend thereby to con trol the situation, fixing the minimum price at ten cents. In order to make the plan practicable every bale of cot ton placed in a warehouse will be re- ceipted fol and the receipt will be ne- gotiabe, so that if farmer is not able to hold the cotton on his own account he can take his receipt to a bank and draw his money, up to two-thirds the market value. The bankers and mer- chants who back the project. therefore, stand no chance to lose unless the price falls to very tow point.
 This looks feasible. The tobacco growers of the South have. We believe made good headway in opposing the domination of the Tobacco trust Il will be an interesting situation wher everybody belongs to trust or a unior to fight trusts. Perhaps, though, some. thing else equally interesting will hap, pen before that time comes.

SOME INTERPRETING CONCLUSION.

SOME INTERVENING CONCLUSTONS
 The Vicomte Georges d'Avenel has come to this country to lecture at Har- yard and other places. and he is going to have something interesting to say
 He will, among other things, present the conclusions which he has obtained from an exhaustive study of the cost price of everything in France-land, houses, rent, food, clothing, transporta- tion. wages and so forth. from the Mid dle Ages to the present day. These con- cluslons are, he says, based on the pur- chasing power of money-the cost of living measured in money. The quan- tity of metal existing has no connec- ton necessarily with it's commercial value, as evidenced by the fact that in four centuries the production of gold has increased twofold as compared with silver, yet it's value with regard to sil- yer has tripled. Periods of cheap and dear living do not coincide with periods of comfort or misery and no conclusion can be drawn as to the rise and fall of prices compared to public prosperity or the contrary, Interest rates have been independent of the purchasing power of money The efforts of governments to maintain 'ratio" between gold and silver have always been vain. The mere possessor of capital or property has been mathematieally and inevit- ably ruined with the lapse of time. This is shown by the fact that the purchas- ing value of $2OO in the year 1900 is re- duced to-day to "A cents, that the f. nanclal as well as social position of families has always risen and fallen in the past and that the great present day fortunes are of comparatively re-

The fact that twenty-six members of the Washington State legislature have entered into a "fair-play compact" thus practically insuring the passage of some needed reform measures, prompts the Seattle Post-Intelligence to say; sIn Washington, as in other States, and as in the nation, the senate is looked upon as the weak place in the scheme of government. From the standpoint of corporate and corrupt in- huence it is the most vulnerable. In every State the senate has been the point of attack. For needed remedial Legislation, offered in behalf of the peo- ple, the senate has been slaughter house; on the other hand, whenever and wherever it has been necessary to perfect some conspiracy to loot the treasury, or to protect some plundering corporation or political practice, the wicked genius of the senate has been relied upon to do the work, and the reliance. as a rule, has not been mis- placed.n

The group plan looks to the location of all the principal mu- hicipal buildings in district bounded by Clark avenue, Olive, Twelfth and Fourteenth streets. The city hall and the new public library will be the two conspicuous edifices in the group. It is expected that 1t will take many years to carry out the plan and that the cost will be enormous.

As SEEN FROM ABROAD

The following extract IS taken from d business letter to our fel- low townsman k. K Mcllenry, from Fred D. Whiting of Nash vile, Tenn. It was not intended for publication, but we are sure the writer will not object to it's publication, and we publish 1t to show the wide interest taken In the great moral and religious change that has recently occurred in Newark.
 .I am indeed glad to know that such change for the better has come about over old Newark.
 l have always known that there was as fine material there for q Christian community as existed anywhere on earth, and such men, as Christian gentlemen, would be
 
 a credit not only to Newark, but the state of Arkansans.
 It certainly would be a pleas ure, if it was so 1 could live there again, and know Charlie Edwards, Tom Dearing, Bob Magness, Frank  Martin, John Sisk, John Adams, Bob Galloway, yourself and others as neighbors and Christian gentle men. While I myself am not as good as should be, my heart IS in the right place, and l have the greatest respect and admiration for an honest, Christian gentleman or lady.
 It shall be my earnest prayer that the work started by Bros. Dye and Jernigan shall be taken up by you all and carried on until every soul in your community IS saved. I am great believer in prayer ,
