The value of Root.

In the State Department Mr.. Root. to
speak Familiarity, has made good. 1t was
no easy matter to succeed so accomplished
and successful a man as job Hay and
make an individual mark on affairs. This,
however, Mr.. Root has done. His whole
work as Secretary of State has stamped
him as a diplomat of high grade, and the
very man for the post. His visit to Central
and South America was a sort of inspira-
ton, and his projected visit to Mexico
should prove of great value in strengthen
ing the happy relations existing between
that country and this.--Washington News.

Knowing and believing all those things as we do it puzzles
us when we look over the border into Canada and see what
they have been and are doing there with railroad legislation.
We never hear anybody accusing the Canadians of being
Anarchists or Socialists. They are a conservative, deliberate
people, slow to accept newfangled things, and not given to
enthusiasm over political cureans. Their railroads have shown
amazing developments in recent years. Trackage has been
increased and the facilities enlarged at a tremendous rate. Much
of the capital and some of the ablest officials have come from
this side of the border. Neither investors nor managers com
plain of irksome restrictions nor unwarranted interference n the
part of the government. And yet they have in Canada a Rail
road Commission consisting of three members, appointed for life,
with powers more drastic and far-rea ching than is possessed by
any body in this country, State or National.

Vast, comprehensive and farreaching powers, aren't they ?
Nothing 81 radical or revolutionary ever seriously proposed in
our country We wouldn't stand for anything of the kind,
would we? It would be Anarchistic, But some of US may be
unable to understand why a policy that seems wise, reasonable
and practicable in Canada is impossible here. What increases
the mystery is the fact that the capitalists and railroad magnates
didn't pierce the atmosphere with cries of anguish and warning
while that legislation was being enacted. They didn't send a
band of lobbyists to Ottawa to talk and plan and scheme in
order to either destroy or cripple the Act. They didn't subsi-
die clergymen,e editors and politicians to preach calamity as the
inevitable fruit of making such a law and compelling obedience
to it.
No. Most of the Canadian railroad capitalists and man
ayers approved of the law and cooperated in framing it so as
to make its provisions absolutely fair all around, and thus re-
duce to a minimum friction between the companies and the public.
And the result? General satisfaction.
Both companies and public are satisfied to have the Board
pass upon all matters of controversy. There is no occasion foi
agitation, no excuse for excitement. il-feeing or strained rela'
tions. The railroad companies know exactly where they ae at
They know what is expected of them and what they may and
may not do. They lay their plans accordingly and don't have
demaeogues. The energy that is wasted by American railroad
managers in trying to fool the people or cmcumvent the poltF
clans is devoted by-thef Canadian contemporaries to straight
railroad business.
But, of course. the Canadian plan is too Anarehistie TO

 Prenenee.


 Representative Ernest Thompson of Macon County yesterday had his bill in reference to the Tuskegee Normal School recalled from the House Com mittee on Education and turned over to the Committee on Local Legisla- ton. Behind the motion of Represent alive Thompson there was one of the unwritten stories of the Legislature.
 The bill in question declares that tho property of Booker Washington's school at Tuskegee should be subject to tax dtion by the county of Macon. As q general thing educational property In the State is exempt from taxation.
 The bill went to the Committee on Education and Representative Thomp- son thought the matter was moving swimnlingly. But he suddenly learned that strong inffuen ees were being brought to bear to have the bill beat en. He said that he learned that Capt. Frank S. White was in the city to ap- ne IT before the committee In opposi- tion to the measure.
 The Macon represen'ativ hunted up Captain White to find out If he was to oppose the bill before the commit tee. and when he had convinced him self that the well known Birmingham attorney would appear before the com mittee to oppose the measure making the school property subject to taxation by the county. MT. Thompson nur- ried into the House.
 Through the courtesy of his fellow members his bill was recalled from the Committee on Education and referred to the Committee on Local Legislation. Representative Thompson. expects that the opposition to the bill will make a light before the last named committed.
