Alabama'S Splendid Streams

well-known Mobilian, says the Item, exclaimed recently, Alabama is the most thoroughly watered state in the union, and I defy contradiction" The statement cannot be successfully eontradicted, for Alabama is clearly the chief river state in the country.
 She has big rivers in the Tennessee, Warrior Coosa, Tombigbee and Ala bama, all of which can be rendered navigable All of these fine rivers will be opened to navigation. The Warrior and Tombigbee will first be given slackwater navigation because of the tonnage of the mineral district. The governments task will be completed to the heart of the mineral deposits in 1911. The work on the shoals in the Tennessee river is progressing and the Alabama is receiving due attention. The Coosa's turn will soon come, for that great stream will not long be per mitted to go unutilized.
 These noble rivers do not, however, comprise all of the states waters. All of the big rivers are fed by lesser rivers and by spring-fed streams, and nearly every one of these numerous waterways contains rapids that could he made to develop a vast electrical mower. These lesser streams may ln- deed prove to be more valuable than the states great rivers, for the time is fast coming when industrial plants will hunt closely for water powers that can he utilized in the production of electri- cal energy.
 The hope of the state is therefore in her waterways-in the improvement of the large ones to the point of naYiga- tion and in the use of the lesser ones for electrical purposes. Electricity is readily transportable, and no stream is for that reason without the range of utility. All can be utilized, and all in the long run will be. The big streams and the little streams as they flow to- ward the sea will yet make the state rich and populous.

Condition of the Iron Trade

Slow but continuous betterment III the iron and steel trade has brought the country in the early days of Sep tember to a 50 per cent basis of capac- ity in the production of pig iron. This leads the Iron Age to hope that the prediction of an output of 75 per cent of capacity at the beginning of 1909 may come true. A gradual climbing Up from the low level of 45 per cent in February to level of 75 per cent at the. end of the year would certainly be a gratifying achievement in the face of a reduced consumption. Production and consumption go of course hand in hand, and if production at the begin ming of the new year rises to 75 per cent consumption will rise equally near the rate in the summer of 1907.
 The Iron Ages figures relate, how ever, to the trade in the entire coun- try. This district is on a different basis. In the first half of 1907 the fur naces in this state produced a monthly average of 143,64 tons. Last month they turned out 122,S4O tons-a loss of 20,802 tons, or 141a per cent. This dis trict, in other words, is on a basis of 
 851a per cent of the production of the first half of 1907 which may be con- sidered its economic capacity. The Iron Ages percentage, however true as a whole in this country, does not de- scribe the activity of this district

THE LADY OF THE SUITCASE.

From the New York World.
 Mrs. McAlister, of Florida, going through a two months tour of Europe with only small suit case for luggage, furnishes a fresh and pertinent example of what woman can do when she Will. She has beaten all the guide books on point of practical, personal interest Con tent is justly hers, with satisfaction at her feat of turning custom-house scepti- cism to admiration.
 This Florida traveller set about her purpose without ostentation. She offered to the womans club of Miami no prelimi- nary resolutions favoring the one-skirt- one-hat idea in connection with "the grand tour.'' She brought before the State Federation (of Womens clubs no trumpet-soundng declaration, of equal rights with men to the comforts of trunk less tripping. In her own determined way she set out as the woman going to see, not to be seen, and the globe trotting honors of the hour are hers.
 There are thirteen items in the table of contents of Mrs. McAllister's suit case. A lucky number, the resultant of a rational process of elimination. What shall I wear?" asks the ordinary woman, without
 planning for Europe. 'What can I do without?" asked the tourist from Florida, and everything she omitted was gain save to the luggage-transfer companies.
 This single suit case tour of Europe is a longer step toward the emancipation of a sex than Is the mobbing of Commons or clamor from cart in Union Square. Courage to defy the unwritten canons of first cabin society is in itself almost qualification for the suffrage.

THE TWO FRIENDS.

By Charles Godfrey Leland. I have two friends-two glorious friends
 two better could not be. And every night when midnight tolls they
 meet to laugh with me. The first was shot by Carlst thieves ten
 years ago in Spain. The second drowned near Alicante-while
 I alive remain. love to see their dim white forms come
 floating through the night, And grieve to see them fade away in
 early morning light. The first with gnomes in the under land
 is leading a lordly life. The second has married a mermaiden-a
 beautiful water wife. And since have friends in the earth and
 sea-with few, I trust, on high 'Tis a matter of small account to me the
 way I may die. For whether I sink in the foaming flood,
 or swing on the triple tree. Or die in my bed, as a Christian should.
 is all the same to me.

Down In the State of Maine

Two years ago Governor Cobb of Maine received a plurality of but 1858, as against an average plurality of we'll nigh 30,000 in preceding years. Maine has not had democratic governor in many years, and Governor Cobb's pre- decessors oftener boiled more than 25OOO plurality than less. MT. Fer nald. a farmer-canner, is the repub- lican candidate, and he probably ex- poets to poll plurality tomorrow or 25,OOO. His opponent is Obediah Gard ner. the head of the state grange, who is widely known in the state. MT. Gardner hopes to run as well as MT. Davis did two years ago, or four years ago.
 This. however, is scarcely probable, for the resubmission of the prohibition amendment was urged then as 1t IS now. and the republican party was VeXed with factlonal uouDies anu wiCn a labor union canvass. This year pro- hibition questions are prominent, and Senator Hale has been very active, for the legislature to be elected tomorrow will elect his successor. Tomorow's election in Maine really turns upon the question of resubmitting the prohibi- ton amendment.
 Any republican plurality below 25,- 900 may rightfully be considered en- couraging by the democrats, but the truth is, the contest of tomorrow is so entangled with the liquor question that it will have little or no political signiff- canoe.

gacity, and it is not in the long run good business. Despite reputation to the contrary, sickness is not a national trait. The business of this country is not done by the slick The controlling men in any line of business are free from the vice, and a demand of the times calls for the wedding out of poli- tics of the tricky and dishonest. We do not need the slick either in public or private business, and the lesson that Governor Hughes sought to con- yey in his Troy speech should be read and reread until it becomes a guide and an inspiration to all honest Amer- cans. The slick American should be asked to step down and out. He is an citizen-an excrescence on the body polite that should be eradi- cated.

Sickness Is Un-Amerlcan

Not long ago Governor Hughes deliv- cred a speech at Troy, in his state, in which he took occasion to tell his hear CTS that it is not American to be slick. He denounced trickery in trade and in- trigue in politics. The following para graph cut from his Troy speech pre- sents the point he endeavored to push into the consciences of men, He said
 Don't follow the man who thinks it is American to be slick. There may be many illustrations that will occur to you of cases of successful sharpness, but they are so exceptional as to prove the rule. The old way, the steady way is the right way put a little more in the measure than you need to give in a good basketful of fruit and don't simply have a little display on top Of superficial at- tention and industry, give a little more work than you are asked to give and it will show on the one hand that you are unpurchasabe and on the other hand you esteem it an honor to give more than is required at your hands in every depart ment of lifes effort
