The retirement of Dr. William w.

from every friend of the institution.

successor in the presidency the great
institution that last week conferred

the institution especially, those who

wishes go with him that he. may
enjoy the rest to which his long and
arduous labors entitle him.

Writing on the general subject of State sovereignty The Richmond Times Dispatch says:
 It is strange that SO many men in this day have such mistaken Idea 1t Is more strange and more to be de- plnred that the President of the United States Is one of that number. Presi- dent Roosevelt is now telling the Con. stituIaonal Convention of the new State of Oklahoma that unless such and such things are done, and unless such and such things are left undone, ne will reject the Constitution. lie may do so. He may compel the members of the convention to make a constitution to suit him; but as soon as IL Is pro claimed, and as soon as Oklahoma De- cones a full. fledged State, the people may call their constitutional conven- ton again, revise the Constitution to suit themselves. and neither Mir. Roose . the Federal government can prevent them.
 What Roosevelt believes or disbe- lieves would be a matter of small con sequence if 1t stopped there. for in telIigent and self-respecting people are fast losing confidence in him as a counsellor or guide They have not only lost confidence in his wisdom and judgment but are fast reaching a point where they eun no longer rely on his words or his promises on any matter of importance.
 It Is not Theodore Roosevelt's opin- ion that do harm, but the fact that Congress allows him to dominate 1t on so many occasions. The United States
 
 greater discredIt than It suffers when 1t allows President or Governor to control it. It is both the right and the duty of the chief executive to sug- gest legislation and he has the right to advise legislators as a body as to measures that may seem good to him. He also has the right to veto any law which he does not approve. All this Is well and good. but when 1t comes to a President or Governor holding d whip over individual mem bers to force them to carry out his ! wishes, or when he orders Congress or legislature to obey his dictation he transcends his rights and his duties. Legislative bodies are inde- pendent, or should be, and should not be coerced or buIlIed. Each member Is answerable to his own conscience , and his constituents and should act ! the part of an independent. self-re- specting American citizen and not al- 1 low himself to occupy the position ot thrau or tool ot any other branch of government.

wisely in all things. It is evidently trying to perform functions that is neither wise nor prudent. It is more than possible that their ceastitutiou will contain matters that will be q plague to the people and to the state, and that they will be forced to get rid of as soon as they settle down and find themselves left to govern them selves.
 But while this Is all true 1t is equal ly true that President Roosevelt hes no warrant in law or morals fer "butting in" as he has done. Prob ably some of the charges made against him in this regard were without found- ation, but there is no doubt that he has more than once dictated to that convention and tried to bully the mem bers into following his orders. They may yield to him and. as The Tims>- Dispatch intimates, may change their constitution after the State is admit ted. but that will prove slow and expensive process and should not be necessary. The delegates should pro- ceed to form a sound and conservative constitution, paying no attention to the orders of outsiders, whether those orders come from the President or any. other source. To be bullied and dominated by the executive is no more creditabie to a Constitutional Conven- tion than it is to a Congress or Legislature,

 Ever since Colonel Bryan and went to school together in Jacksonville. Ill. our friendship has been maintained and has strengthened with the lapse of years" said MT. Edward Field Gotha one of the leading business men of St. Louis. at the New Willard
 T am so heartily his supporter that scarcely anything he could do would weaken my loyalty. and yet f deeply regretted bis Government-ownershi speech, made in Madison Square Garden last summer. The speech was nothing like so radical as the press represents, of many of Colonel Bryan's friends, who cible candidate in 1908.
 There is a curtous phasn of the Bryan candidacy as to which l have seen no mention in print. and that is in relation to the possible attitude of President Roosevelt. have heard any number of intelligent Republicans say they believe that the President will be found advocating Bryan's election. This may sound incredibIt and absurd, but It ls pointed out that Bryan has time and again commended Roosevelt; that there Is scarcely any difference in theiI political beliefs. or in their ideas re. garding the way In which the Govern ment Of the United States should be regulations. and both arc against the oid-time domination of what is com. tnonly styled the money power.

A GREAT nENEFAeToR.


 It has been just little more than six years since Major Walter Reed gave to the world the information that 'Sellow fever Is conveyed to a susceptible subject by the bite of a mesquite which had previously bitten patseht suffering from this disease, and that this justly dreaded scourge to anether in no other way" Profess sos ceuneilmah. of the Harvard Med- teal School declares in recent paper that this discovery "ds the greatest achievement of the age" Going more intl details Prof. Councilman says:
 Reeds discovery. like all other dis cOveries, vas nJdn by the appli i1ation of all exIstlt g knowledge to the sO- lution of the immediate problem.

All this was done by a series of brilliantly conceived and sue cessfu,-y executed experiments. As all animals are immune to the disease. 1t be made on human beings
 We'll may this discovery be called a remarkable achievement, for 1t was all of that. In fact. few discoveries in medical science have been of more importance to humanity than this. for hy and through it one of the greatest seourges to which this continent was subject has been scotched and we be- lieve the time is not far distant when it will be practically unknown in civ flized countries. Previous to this dis covery medical science had been fighting 1t blindly. as 1t were, but all their efforts could not prevent it from obtaining foothold in some portion of the United States almost every year and continually adding to the number Of itE victims. As far North as Phil adeIphia. 1t has ragged, but its great ese violence has been in tl.o Southern cities, from Memphis to the Gulf, but ie is hardly likely that there will be any serious epidemics of 1t down here in future
 Major Reed died in November 1902. and on his tombstone is the inscrip- tion: He gave to man control over that dreadful scourge. yellow fever" Few more glorious inscriptions have been placed on the tomb of any human being. The powerful rulers of na- tions. the great soldiers and states men, the eminent discoverers of new worlds--aIl the other great men of earth who have made name and Tepu- tation,and have gone down in history bright pages is worthy of honor and fame, but the man who gave to hu- manity the knowledge that yellow fever can be prevented or controlled is worthy a place on the roll of the worlds greatest benefactors The fu- ture will give him his proper place among those who have done great deeds for their kind.

On the Alabama River.

 It has been our custom for long time to speak of Selma as being on the Southern Railway, the Western and the L.. and N. Railways. It IS about time we began to talk Selma as being on the Alabama Aiver, a riv- CT opc1 to navigation practically the entire year from Selma to the Gulf and with every prospect of being open the year around within a short time. In stead of talking so much abo5t freight rates from railroads we should begin to talk about how cheap freight can be hauled to and from Mobile by water. The dlstance of selma from the coal and iron of the rich fields of the state, the splendid forests all along the Iiv- CT, the rich lands, the cement deposits and many other things of like nature can be talkel about and will prove very attractive to prospective invest OTIS.

Beautiful But ImpractieabIe. pA


 w H. MaIlock. the English econo- mist. says of Socialism: Its princt- nies. even it's good ones. are allied to means that rob them of their worth, and make them impracticable. He Illustrates this as follows:
 Karl Marx taught that wealth was slowly becoming centralized. Carried to their logical conclusions. his teach inEs showed that at some day all the wealth of the universe would DC gath cred into the handS of one man ana that the rest of the people Of the earth would be near starvation. His pre- cepts were that the workingmen nad no chance. no opportunity or possibility of ever bettering his condition put must always stay In the state to which he was born. For the small tradesmar Marx also held out no hope. His busl ness must constantly decrease until eventually he was forced out of 1t al together. ,-
 But recently every one of these theo- ries and precepts have been shoWn tc be false. The disciples of Marx are disprovcd and silenced by the recent wave Of prosperity which has howed over Germany. The wages Of the working men have increased, and tn- stead of leaving it. more small trades men have entered the field.
 How often does fact thus give the ago that we were all going to ruin un. unlimited coinage of silver, but we did not get l. some explanation had tc oe invented for tue immediate wave oi prosperity; hut this explanation IS fnere theory also Al any moment fact ma, throw it down.

Birmingham American
 If there does exist a real race issue in Alabama, The Daily American has not vet been able to discover it. If the better element of white people are not exactly in accord with the better element of black people, the proposition seems to be an absolute secret.
 Birmingham for instance. can boast of a large number of flrst-class col ored citizens, who have made excellent headway in business enterprises of their own. Here we have a bank owned and controlled by negroes We have among that race professional men. merchants and tradesmen as well as laborers, and all of these are highly respected by white and black alike
 Tn our public workshops or manu- featuring industries are employed many colored men. and there they have worked for years, and have proven that they are possessed of a high de- gree of intelligence. mechinical skill and loyalty to duty. unsurpassed by men who claim superiority over them In the same line of work.
 The Daily American cannot be charged with being a negro lover" but it is and ever will be an admirer of the get-up-and- get idea. and of any man or set of men, no matter of what race that mean to do the right thing at the right tip1e.fQr our people. and who can be accounted lawrabidtng and useful agencies iu the, development of Ala bauaa--the greatest of all States on the Arnerlcau conttnept.
