A CLEVER WIFE.
Essential to Success of the Stupid
 Husband.

That stupid man needs clever wife needs no discussion, says William T. Stead in the July Delineator. The stupider a man Is the cleverer ought his wife to be, to make up for the stupidity of the male partner in the Inenage. A clever man can better afford to face the struggle for existence with a stupid wife than can stupid man. That is quite ob- vious. For, if cleverness may be reward ed as the intellectual stock in trade with which the married couple start out to do business in the world, the less capital that either partner has, the more iIn- portant it is that the other should be we'll provided with the indispensable ele. ment necessary for success in life. There is, therefore, some reason for recom- mending that stupid men should marry clever women and that stupid women should marry clever men, in order to make things even all round. On the other hand, the precept. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers," may be held to lay down to a general principle capable of being applied to the question now under discussion. It is obviously desirable that two people who are to live together all their lives should be suf- ficiently near together in intellectual at- tainment to have interests in common, and to be able to understand each other when they are left together in the end- less tete-a-tete of matrimony.

GREAT FUTURE OF
 MOTOR BOATING

M. T. Trux of New York, who will leave in day or two motor boat trip from the head of navigation on the Mississippi at St. Paul to it's mouth at New orleans is enthusiastic over the future of fast motor boating on the big river. He be- ! lleves the fastest boats on any inland waters will be showing new records on the Mississippi between St. Paul and Dubuque within the next five years. MT. ! Trux is making a study of motor boating on the Mississippi in the interests of east ern manufacturers and a trade pubhca- tion.
 St. Paul has an immense number of launches and motor boats," said Mir. Trux, and at every river town the same condf- ton prevails. Red Wing, one of the smaller Minnesota river cities, has 215 launches and motor boats and two of the biggest inland water motor boat events of the summer will be held on the river, one at Dubuque and one at Lake City. The wonderful beauty of the upper rlver, its moderate current and Its breadth make 1t an ideal stream for motor boats The sport is developing very fast and every indication seems to point to the fact that within five years the largest proportionate number of fast motor craft
  sissippl, and l look for the establishment of many new speed records in this sec tion."
 Boat building concerns in St. Paul and the river suburbs report exceptional increase this year in their orders for fasc craft, and leading western builders have delivered within 60 days more than 100 fast boats for towns within loo miles of the head of navigation. Red Wing and Lake City have both been prominent In the market, indicating the hold the sport is taking on the well to do of the smaller cities.
 Motor boating is the coming sport Mir. Trux declares with such a river on any inland lake Of size or river ono may own a beautiful craft fitted with the most modern devices and comforts, for just about half what a good automo bile costs and with such boat one may speed to his hearts content without bothering with constables every 10 miles,"

Trln In RrunsWio.k.

Among the many other attractions lo be accorded the Alabama Press associa- ton when 1t meets in this city in July will be an excursion to Brunswick, Ga., over the Atlanta. Birmingham and At lantic railroad.
 A telegram was received in this ciey this morning from G. H. Stevenson, who went over to Atlanta yesterday with T. T. Huey to see if arrangements could not be made with the officials to run an excursion. Mr. Stevenson made tiie re- quest in behalf of the Bessemer Board of Trade and the request was granted.
 The delegates will be taken from here to Talladega and from there they Will be taken on a special train of the At lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic.
 It is more than probable that sea trip will be arranged for them during their stay in Brunswick The different com mittees appointed for their entertainment during their stay in this city are hard at work, and the results of their work promise to be very gratifying to the people of Bessemer.

Hit Him Three Times.

Ami Moses, motorman on the Jonesboro car, running between the pipe shops and Jonesboro, was shot last evening about 11:30 o'clock by young clerk named Marvin Anderson. Moses was hit in the wrist, the hand and the leg, but it is not believed the wounds will amount to much.
 Mr. Anderson resides in Jonesboro, and 1t appears that he had had some trouble with Moses several weeks ago, at which time 1t seems Moses attempted to hit him with the motor crank. An derson boarded the car in Bessemer last evening and he says the motorman started over the seats after him, and he started to work with the little pistol he had
 Moses was brought back to the city and taken to the city hospital where his wounds were dressed. Young An derson was arrested this morning and gave bond for his appearance.

The "Square Deal.u

From the June Every body's.
 During the Roosevelt-Parker campaign called on the President to persuade him to ask the people, instead of the cor porations, to contribute to his campaign fund. From the discussion of the dem ocratic principle involved in that plan, the conversation changed off into the gen. eral subject of misrepresentative govern ment, and finding the President interested in the political, but not at all in tie economic problems underlying our polit- ;cal questions, I uttered this reproach
 ''Mr. President, I don't believe you will ever solve any of our real problems. You merely stand for a square deal"
 Down came his fist upon his desk. He sprang to his feet He hadn't heard or he didn't heed the reproach. Mo- this man of action seized, as he always does seize out of books and men, that which Ee had use for, and that alone.
 That's it. he exclaimed "A square deal. That's exactly what do stand for And I shall say so in my next public utterance.''
 And he did. His next public statement was his famous reply to MT Parker, and he wound 1t up with Ia square deal"
 Now, the square deal is a very limited remedy, but it has gone far to expuse the causes and conditions of our corrup- ton. Take the. case the President him. self cites: that of recompensng Barri- mans railroad for the tanning of the ColoradU river His motion was opposed in Congress by representatives who would favor railroads wrongfully in secret but who feared to do right by them in the open. They represented what they thought was public opinion, not the public interest" The President, who says he represents public interest, not public loud sage, to give railroad what was right. And by doing so he showed how Con gross misrepresents both public opinion and the public interest.

For the New County,

Every one in and around Bessemer is going to work on the proposed no'y county amendment which comes to a vote in November. Every time a cit izen of Bessemer leaves to go into another county he Is given plenty O. literature, and in addition he Is made acquainted with the facts.
 The movement appears to be gaining ground each day, and the work Is now on in dead earnest. The people of this section of the county are determine to have a new county and they insist no stone will be left unturned in ord ,,' to get it. Speakers will be sent out the early part of July and a thorough canvass will be made. An important meeting of the local New Counties club will be held some time next week. rhe interest Is growing daily and the work is progressing very satisfactorily.
 Several local attorneys who have been in different counties during the past week On business returned to the city this even ing, and each one reported the prospects as being very favorable. F. R. Mathews of the law firm of Mathews & Mathews returned to the city several days ago from a trip to St. Clair county. MT. Mathews said: 1T talked with number of the leading citizens in and around Ashville, and with one accord they appeared to be in favor of the new county proposition. These men were among the most infiu- cntial and best informed men in that sec ton, and 1 take it that little trouble will be experienced there when the time comes to vote on the measure
 The story published in The Age-Herald this morning pertaining to the new county was widely read in and around this city and was generally commented upon.

THE primary elections of Illinois
upset lot of political plans. The
people discovered that the new law,
with all its complications, gives
them, and not the politicians, the
power to name candidates for Office.
The same discovery was made a
little earlier in Kansas. and other
states have found it out. So the
time is coming when men will be
elected to public Office who could
never have secured boss-support
or the endorsement Of spoilsmen.
Already the people of several
states have practically secured the
power of direct election in the case
of United States senators, power
that has long been one of the cry
ing needs of our political system.
When New York gets that new
liberty, she will no longer be, as
she is now, worse than unrepre-
sented in the Upper House of Con-
gress.-Epworth Herald.

Now the farm is to get an up
lift, and it is about time. President
Roosevelt has appointed a commits
sion on country life, with instruc-
tions to report on the present con-
ditions of farm life and in what
way they can be improved by
national action. He believes that
the nation ought to give special at
tention to the farmer and the farm,
since all national prosperity de
pends on the soil and the man who
tilIs it. Mr.. Roosevelt wants to
knew a lot of things: how to keep
the young folks on the farm; how
to improve health conditions; how
to make farm life less solitary.
fuller of opportunity. freer from
drudgery, more comfortable and
more attractive. That will do, for
starter, but there is more to come.
The commissioners are authorities
on country life, and the President
hopes to associate with them lit
tie later the nation and state agri-
cultural departments, the agricul-
tural colleges. the farmers organi-
cations, and all the great organized
interests that depend directly upon
the farm and the farmer.
