 Locally the Interpretation of the Presidents latest declaration Of hls railway position and proposals was very much like Jay Gouid's account oL his politics. Just as Mr, Gould was Republican with Republicans and a Democrat with Democrats. so MT. Roosevelt is a reformer with reform era and a reactionary with reaction- arles. and both sides were pleased ey the simple method Of emphaslzIng the passhages addressed to them and over nreasing number throughout the Unit cd States of those who prefer that the President-since- he elects to be maker of policies rather than mere oxecuter of the laws-shall cease to be on both sides. and declare which is his choice. For example, The Charleston News and Courier makes these re-
 The President Is daft on the subject of the coPporationG He has managed to make a good deal of trouble for them. He has caused great disquiet in the public mind. He has betrayed Singular lack of balance in the remed- ies he has proposed, and contributed ifnnensely to the growth of SociallStic sentiment in this country. We are not aurprfsed that the President should have talked rate legislation on 6 mem- Oriai occasion. The pity of 1t is that he did not say something that would enable the people who heard his speech and those who have read it to under stand more accurately his position on this subject.

SENATOR MORGAN.

Despite his great age the death in Washington last night of Senator John Tyler Morgan will be a great shock to the people of Alabama, regardless of class or creed.
 His career as a statesman, rebounds to the credit of Alabama in a peculiar way. The most conspicuous member of the greatest legislative body on earth. his illustrious record naturally shed its brilliancy upon the people of his State. They kave him their unbounded confi- dence and continued to honor him as he was deserving of the honor.
 Senator Morgan came from the rugged pioneers who contributed to the greatness of Tennessee and Ala bama He was of the people, and all though great honors came to him he lived the simple, Democratic life. He was first a soldier and then a states man. In the one he was brave; in the other he was wise and honest.
 A braye soldier and an honest and wise statesman. An epitaph more elo- quent could not be written.
 The splendid record of Senator Nor gan belongs to the nation. But his record is ours and the pages of Ala- bama history will be illumined in the ages with the purity of his life and the impress he made on our country's ieRfsIatiyA scroll

New York Evening Post.
 It has been said of the Bible; This Is the book where each his doctrine seeks. and this the book where each his doctrine finds" In this respect. however, the Bible must yield the palm to President RooseVelt's speeches. They are probably the finest examples of the wedding of apostles. and the vehement assertion of eontradictories, ever penued by man. The result IS taht each reader finds in them what he desires to find. Another result is that they are subject to the most conflict ing interpretation.

Reciprocal demurrage," is demanded by shippers who are charged so much d day for detaining railway cars un- reasonably long at their warehouses. If the shippers pay for detaIning cars. the railways, they think, should be made by law to reciprocate by paying the shippers for delay In furnishing cars. The Baltimore Sun says The failure to supply cars promptly is as- stunned to be willful and deserving of d nenalty--so much per day, No doubt instances of willful delay have occurred at times when a railway official wished to discriminate, but as rule railways desire to get all the freight they can and do the greatest possible amount of car-haulins in the shortest ross ble time. If the Interstate Commerce. act, as amended. does not cover cases of re- frsal to supply :ars impartially and as promptly as possible. 1t might well be amplified for the purpose. But re- ciprocal demurrage opens a wide door to a renewal of the rebate evil. Tt would be-, says The Railway Age. "a very simple matter for trafflc mana ger and a shipper to arrange that the shipper should order more cars than the traffic manager could or would sup rly and that the railway should pay him 'demurrage on the cars ordered. but not delivered. Only big shippers with large facilities for loading oould profit by such an arrangement. The loading facilities of small shippers ne- ing very limited, they could not crder cars in excess of their actdal needs without serious danger of being caught. On the other hand, under reciprocal de- murrage, rebates could be paid to and received by big shippers having ample loading facilities with little daigar of detection

IN THE INTEREST OF FARMERS AND
 STOCK RAIsERS

within the last few weeks Legisla- tnres of several States have male large appropriations for the benefit of State Fairs. Tbex are in reality made State institutions and treated with a liberal hand The wise policy is adopted of helping to create greater interest in everything connected with farming, stock raising and kindred matters. Alabama cannot do better than to rx- hfibit a similar wise and kindly inter- est in these things. It Is beyond the power of any one man to measure the good that was accomplished by the great fair held in this city last fall. A great many counties competed for prizes, as did individuals and commu- nities. The display of farm, and or chard products and of horses. hogs and cattle was worth coming hundreds of miles, to see.
 K It will be patriotic in the present Legislature to pass the bill which makes an appropriation to the Fair As eociations at Montgomery, Birming- ham, Selma and Huntsville. Every dol lar appropriated will go to farmers and stockraisers who live In Alabama {. Money premiums to those who live out side the State will have to come from other sources. The greater interest that can be aroused in Alabama farm CTS and stock raisers the greater will be the benef1t to the State.
 Legislators need not fear that their constituents will not endorse their ac- tion if they make this approprauon They will hail with delight every prop osition calculated to advance the far n- ing and stock interests of the State. The bill was introduced by Senator Teasiey and is now on the calendar of the Senate with a favorable report This is just recognition of the farm Ing and stock raising interests of the State and there ought not to be dis senting vote.

Laceyss BiII Conforms in Measure to
 President's Recommendation.
 Washington, Feb. 15-A bill con- forming in a measure to President Ttooscvelt's recommendation for the luasing of cval lands by the govern ment rather than their sale. was de- cided upon today by the House Com mittee on Public Lands.
 Tho Committee reconsideredi it's &C., ton of last Wednesday when a bill was reported which was widely. at va riance with the suggestions made in the message of the President on coal lands sent to Congress the same day. The Committee was unaware Of the message until 1t had reached them and Thai: man of the Committed, suggested q reconsideration. It was decided by the Committee today to adopt leasing plan as the President desires. s
 The bill as amended authorizes the President to lease any coal lands With a royalty of not more than 2 cents a ton and provides that the lands may be withdrawu from entry after they are leased, but not before. The amount to be leased to any one person is liln- tied to 2.5e0 acres. F.
 President Roosevelt wanted all coal land withdrawn from entry at ones, regardless of whether 1t be leased or not, but the general withdrawal of coal lands, much after the manner in which forest lands have been withdrawn, is strongly opposed by Western members whU are not willing to have any more land go into government reserves r.

The matter of gathering vital sta 2istics in Alabama Is shown by the fol- lowing extract from The Greenville Ad- vocate:
 !Dr. Perdue. County Health Officer, says there were reported to him during the year 5I6 births and only 100 deaths. He admits that there were a number of physicians who failed to report death notires hence the number is prob- ably less than 1t should he. However, were only half of them reported. the showing Is magnificent for the county, as we have a population of more than 25 000, and that would give percent age of less than ten to the thousand making the county one of the health- fest in the Union. just what we nave always contended that it was.
 There Is no doubt of the fact that nlany deaths were not re. orted be- cause such a small proportion of deaths 70 births Is not natural. It Is also highly probable that many births were not reported. The point we wish tc emphasize is that there ought . be prompt report of births and deaths either by physicians or families In ev- sry county In the State.
