fifteen minutes more the poles and
youthful thieves were located.
Tears mingled with promises of
penitence before District Attorney

poles and promised to be good.

Waterways Here and Elsewhere

All that the great Mississippi valley says in favor of deeper waterway, in view of the opening of the Panama canal. is true, but it is not the whole truth. The need of iron, steel, coal and coke on the west coast of South America will also be keen, and all four articles can be best supplied from this district, because no other mineral district lies so close to the gulf coast
 An Open Mississippi is desirable but so is an Open Warrior, and the members from the southeast will be very apt to link the two together. A fourteen-foot channel in the Missis- sippi and a nine-foot channel in the Ohio would cost about S50,000,000, whereas a six-foot channel in the War rior to this city would not cost more than s5000.000. All the Iron, steel coal and coke that South America needs can be drawn from this district, and in hard times this district can produce those articles at profit when Pittsburg and Chicago cannot.
 No one in the southeast Is opposed to an Open Mississippi, but the south east expects an Open Warrior to go with it, and Congressman Underwood and our new senators will soon be on the law-making spot to see that the two are not altogether disassoclated.

 Mir. Burnett's educational rcstric. tions does not, in short, fit the needs of the south, whatever it may do in the north, and it would be better to postpone its enactment into law until the south has had square opportuni- ty to' attract this way immigration. A day or two spent among the man. agers of the chief industries of this district would open MT. Burnett's eyes to the labor needs that are becoming more pressing every year. The south needs white men, and it can assimilate thousands of Sicilians, Southern Ital ians and Syrians even if they cannot read and write.

MT. Burnett on immigration

Representative John l.. Burnett of Gadsden is said to advocate as re- suit of his transatlantic tour as a member of the immigration commits sion the adoption of an educational re. striction He Is said to look with dis favor upon Sicilians, Southern Italians and Syrians.
 His plan would no doubt be very pleasing to the northern districts that have become congested with the very classes that MT. Burnett proposes to shut out. But after the north had SC cured q sufficiency of them Is 1t fair to turn about to say the south, lacking white labor, that it snail have none of them?
 If MT. Burnett will go about among the plants of Gadsden or in Jefferson county he will soon see that they would be glad to get Sicilians, South arn Italians and Syrians wholly re-

Young Men In Business.

Schools of learning in this state should have a department to inculcate the Idea of subordination" remarked a business man.
 "The trouble with the south ern youth Is that 1t inherits the old-time slave holding Idea that white boys and white men are not to submit to the dictation of bosses, and it's an awful mistake. They do not know that men of long experience and of capital have long ago learned that there is no such thing in business life as absolute Independence; that all of us are knocked from time to time in business.
 As an illustration let me tell you that am dealing In manufactured goods, and am dependent entirely upon the good will of patrons that my goods are handled by union laborers, and ac- cordingly I get notice that this or that line of goods Is manufactured by men not in friendship with them, and l am told they will not handle work therein This does not come to me IS union boycott ostensibly, but from individuai workmen. This, therefore. Is knock against me, and I generally obey. In fact I must, in order to win success It's the same old story of self preser- vation."

Assaiiinq the 14th Amendment

The fourteenth amendment Is a war amendment passed, ratified and pro- claimed in the days immediately fol lowing the civil war. It was sent to the states by Congress on June 16, 1866, and 1t was at first rejected by Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland and ten other southern states, and was not acted on by California. The other ten southern states were subsequently, forced to accept carpet-bag legisla- lures, and these legislatures proceeded to ratify the amendment It was pro- claimed a part of the constitution on July 2S, 1868
 The Amendment that was forced into the constitution through war sen timent and war pressure was devised to protect the negro who, 1t declares, is not to be deprived "of property without due process of law" What was intended to fit the negro is now considered a snug fit by the railroads when assaIed by two-cent laws. Their entire confiscatory plea is based on the fourteenth amendment, and on nothing else.
 Georgia will attack in demurrers in pending rate cases the validity of the fourteenth amendment-that is to say, she will plead that 1t was never rati- fled and is not therefore a part of the federal constitution The question has never been brought Up, circumstances not favorng It's presentation. But 1t is to be brought up now, and a test of it that cuts very deep in many direc- lions Is to be carried to the United States supreme court We give the section of article IA that is involved in full as follows:
 Al persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the iurisdic- ton thereof. arc citizens of the United States and of the states wherein they re- side No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or 1 immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life. liberty or property, with out due process of law, nor deny to any person within it's jurisdiction the equal protection of the law
 Upon the validity of this section de- pend many of the grandfather" and other electoral devices of recent south ern constitutions, and when the United States supreme court passes upon it it will determine questions that far outranll any that the railroads can raise.

RockefeIIer's sixteen-Story Church

John D. Rockefeller is about to re- build the fashionable church in Euclid avenue, Cleveland, that he attends when he stays in his home city But he does not propose to build Gothic church. with a ceiling too high for the limitations of the human voice, and with a shire or towers too high for any creatures except birds. He discards all old time forms of church architect ure, and he will erect for the use of the congregation, which is institu- tional in it's tendencies, sixteen-story church at great expense-a structure that will be as useful as 1t will be novel.
 Where religious services are tied up with literary culture, social clubs, mu- tual aid societies, training schools for skilled workers, hospital service, din- ing and lodging facilities, the historic Gothic church is out of place, and 1t Is being rapidly outgrown in all cities. The modern church architect must study the varied programme at the in- stitutional church in order to do &C., ceptable work hereafter.
 Mir Rockefellers siXteen-story church is but step in the revolution that Is making for the brotherhood of man to say the least. The sixteen story church may have novel appear ance, as it certainly has strange sound to the ear, but whoever studies its adaptation to the work 1t proposes to do will probably say that the donor is about to build better than he knows.

Fat Year on inc Farms

The American Agriculturalist says that although crops are less than they were last year by 10 per cent, yet the farmers of this country will receive TOT what they have grown this year fully n billion dollars more. Wheat is high pr. cotton is higher all the other crops are higher and the decreases in pro auction cut no figure.
 The farmer is in clover, and the Alabama farmer is no exception to the rule. for Alabama lands are increasing in value, not only timbered lands, but cotton and corn lands also. The farm or has larger assets than he had one year ago. and his income this year will be greater.
 One result of this happy condition of affairs on the farm is the check that has been put on the tendency to leave the farm and go to the city. If things 
 keep on as they are going at present the tide may turn from the cities and smoky industrial plants to the farm And every sign points to profits on the farm. for the demand for cotton IS worldwide and annually increasing.
 When the farmers pockets are full all others prosper, for the millions of American farmers need merchandise, and farm implements, and stock, and all the other things tfot make farm life worth living. The key to the en- tire trade aad financial situation is the farmer, and he is happy, prosperous and content. It is fat year for him, and the industrious and capable farm CT will this year be independent and even aggressive.

WELL. AFTER ALL.

 flash,
 Make tlmid hearts to thrill and quake; But, come thou in and close the door; Here beside the hearthstone warm and
 wide
 We'll take our fill of joy inside. Come closer now, and in my eyes A thousand tender mem'ries rise, Known to none save thou and I: As stars within hidden lake Reflected from the quiet skies. Nearer yet, and with this kiss Unseai the fount of deeper bliss That mounting higher yet and higher Shall touch the height of loves desire What matter tho the place be small With neither tapestry on wall Or pricelass furnishing about There's room enough for love and truth And not a niche for sneering doubt. Ours the precious gift of youth, Of faith and hope and honesty Let others seek and hope to win Worldly honors, empty fame; This little home a hidden nest When breeding love may take it's rest Thou and l one hope, one aim For me the rapture of thy smile As an angels pure from guile. | little head upon thy breast An, after all. what would we more?

THE GREEK CATHOLICS.
e Washington Herald.

From the Washington Herald
 In the United States there are about 100000 Greek Catholics. They are prin- cipally from Austria Hungary. They must not be confounded with the Greek Ortho- dox churchmen, who come from Russia and Greece. The Greek Catholics are those of the Eastern Greek church, who are in full communion with the Roman Catholics, and who acknowledge the pope as the chief bishop and head of the church. Most of the Creek Catholics in this country are by nationality Ruthen- ians or little Russians Roumanians, Italians and Syrians. The Ruthenians come from Galatia and the Carpathlan mountains, the Roumanians from East ern Hungary, the Italians from Calabria and Sicily, and the Syrians from various parts of Turkey. They have prospered greatly in the United States, and are settled mostly in Pennsylvania. They have at present over 100 churches about 70 schools and 9S priests.

 A good many people seem to thipl that
 my child "my husband" or my wife" spells possession rather than relation Parents imagine that they can completely
 substitute their will and their whims for
 the Individuality of the child-that short

 always short of that, they can exercise any degree of authority they choose
 Husband and wife are often under the same delusion. The troubles that arise
 within the household. the jealousles an l DlcherlnSS that ulNlue families, the ap-
 peals to the unwritten law the wifes resort to the horsewhip against an er- rant husband, the husbands resort to homiedal vengeance. half of them spring from the belief that a chattel has been ! created, that title to a piece of human
 property actually passed with the mar

 My husband or my wife" or 'my child,' all are indicative of relationship
 rather than of property rights. In d sense each phrase has a parallel signifl- canoe with my friend" No well-advised
 person denies to a friend the right to his full individuality, makes his life mis- erable by jealousy, or claims any priv

 The family IS the unit of the state. It is the state in microcosm. There is no
 more room in 1t for hum an slavery than there is in the state. In the relation of parent and child and husband and wife the identical problem that the state has to solve is in evidence-the conflict ne tween individuality and authority. .he struggle of liberty against both tyranny and license.

 a woman may run the gamut between au- tocracy and anarchy.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
More About Sugar Cane.

T read a short lobby story in The Age Herald about sugar cane in Ala bama," remarked a man in the lobby, and that very day I received from Capt. E. Lindburg of New York, an in- quiry which reads as follows:
 "'Do you know of any large tract of land in Alabama suitable to the growth of sugar cane for the manufacture of sugar on a large scale?'
 T give you this for what It is worth and tell you that Lindburg Is STede and a man largely interested in the introduction of Scandinayians to thi7 country. He has visited Birmingham and knows something of our mineral wealth, though but little of our agri- cultural possibilities. For the past few years he has devoted his time and attention to the work of immigration of Scandinavians to South Carolina and has been very successful in that line.'

This work will be continued, full investigation will be made and there is much promise in the proposition.
 This fall Bibb county, under the in- nuence of Congressman Underwood, is to have the benefits of soil survey, and much good is expelled as a result.
 Tt will be remembered that Congress- man Underwood went before the legisla7 ture of Alabama and persuaded that body to make an appropriation of sloooo for this work of soil surveys, to which S2o'OOO or two dollars for one Is added by the national government. With ~-this s3O,OOJ per annum Alabama is promised a thorough investigation of her ability to produce agrculturally. and MT. Under wood Is entitled to much credit in the premises.
