AS TO mrppLEmrN.

We frequently hear it said that there should be no such thing as md dlemen' to come between the producer and the consumer Of any article tor whkh there Is general demand As an evidence of the way these middlemen increase the cost of necessaries of life The New York Hraid tells us that nsiIl1mcn in that city rsreive eight to ten cents quart fer milk which the farmer produces for two cents a quart in summer and four cents. quart in winter. Also that a few cents ton in the mining cost of coal. which was won by the workingmen only by the hardships of great strike. is made an excuse for putting three to five times the added cost on the retail price of coal. which goes through the hands of succession of middiemen. each of whom puts on the original ad- ded cost till the poor little pair of coal sold to the poor consumer costs many times the original price. Fruits, meats and vegetables of most kinds pass from producer to consumer with similar added charges.
 That may all be literally true. and probably is. but how can it be help ed. The men who mine the coal, for ex- ample, cannot convey it directly to the consumers and let them nave It at first cost. There must be agents through whom the coal can be sold and deliv- cred as called for, and the same is true of nearly every or quite all farm products. In the small town, the milk producer. to take him for an example. can carry his milk and butter and de- liver them direct to his consumers, 20 that no middleman is needed and no expense attached to the original cost of the articles. and the same is true of vegetables. fruit and much other country produce It could. and gener- ally does. go direct from the produc- CT to the consumer. and thus escape the added cost of being handled by one or more agents.
 But while this Is practicable in the villages and small towns. it is plainly impracticable in g large city. There the producer must get another to do the storing and selling for him and the article in question may pass through three or four hands beforeNit finally gets to the consumer. and of course each of these must have some While all this is true, it may be that an article passes through too many hands. and that the Iniddlemen make too much profit. but we have seen no adequate remedy proposed.

SATURDAY, JANUARY II. 1908,

The new Mayor of Boston in his in- augural address lays down some good rules for the government of a city. He said "The need of the day is that Boston should have a non-partisan, business administration--an admdnis- kration where the needs of the city are viewed as the needs of a great corporation." He declared, also. that certain changes in the statutes should be made, especially to provide that the city election be held in April or May instead of in December. when it was practically impossible to avoid en- tangIements with issues of the state campaign. We are lucky here in Montgomery in having our city elec- tion at time which separates 1t en- tirely from state and county campaigns but we have not given that atteu- ton to selection of city officials which the importance of this city and its great interests demand. There is no need for the running of any party schemes in municipal contest in any city iD Alabama and we hope that our citizens will think more of getting business administrations rather than political, ones.

THE WINE HuMBUG.

Now that prohibition has them good and hard, some of the Georgia breth- ren are taking a fall out of the drinks they have been using. There is." says The Albany Herald, more humbuggery In champagne than the lovers of the sparkling beverage dream of. People who buy champagne do so because they think 1t is a genuine wine produced from grapes, and. in the case of French champagne, from particular grape grown in a particular district; but an item of news shows that the refuse of an apple drying factory is used by French firms in the production of champagnes. This is quite as serious a matter as the transformation of Am erican cider in Jersey City into any brand of champagne desired, which was testified to by an expert called as a witness in a suit brought in a New York court several years ago; Illus trating thus the difference between a wine case and a case of wine."
 That sort of talk would be calcu- lated to discourage lovers of ! the sparkling fluid if the Legislature of Georgia had not already discouraged them about as much as they can bear. But why should champagne drinkers feel any qualms over such disclosures? They can hardly be called new to any one who has at all tried to keep track of such things, for it is not a secret that humbuggery abounds in this as in almost everything else we eat or drink. It has long been what is called an open secret that much of the fluid sold and consumed as genuine French wine" is grown and manufactured in California. Either the native wine is prepared and put up in properly la beled bottles and sold here as the gem uine article, or else it is shipped in bulk to France and there put in shape to be reshipped and sold here, and most of those. who drink 1t believe that the grapes were grown and the champagne made in sunny France. There's a whole lot of humbuggery go- ing on in this old world. and 1t might as well be in wine as in anything else

A POOR DEFENSE.

Speaking in defense of the great Steel Trust, Congressman Fordney of Michigan dwelt strongly on what he looked on as the benevolence of that corporation in giving employment to some two hundred thousand employees. This he apparently believed to be . complete and meritorious offset for all the robbery and exactions of the great est and most merciless trust in the country.
 This argument, or something of the same nature. is resorted to by friends and defenders of the most oppressive and voracious trusts of the country. The fact that a great corporation em- ploys many men. and possibly pays them good wages is put forward with the apparent belief that it will disarm all criticism and be a full offset for all the grinding. blood-sucking prac- tices of the corporations in question
 Do these defenders, upholders and apoIogists expect the public to believe that a trust employs men through mo- lives of benevolenee and charity. Dc they expect any one to believe that the trust would pay any of it's men good salaries unless they were worth good pay to the employers? That is all ] bosh. The Steel Trust. for instance

Although the election as to Greater Birmingham involved according to the lowest calculation. made by any Bir- mingham newspaper, over 100 900 peo- pie, the total vote did not reach A. goo. Upon a fair calculation the num- Der of voters from that much popula- ton ought to be at least 15.0OO. Talk ing of 30 per cent for negro popula- ton which does not vote, and there would stnl be 1O,OOO1people. Evidently a great many people in Birmingham have mot qualified themselves as vot- CTS, or very little interest was taken in the election.

This Ls Ny e4th Birthday
Thomas Dixon, Jr.

Key. Thomas Dixon, Jr.. author of The Clansman," was born in Cleveland County, North Carolina, January II, 1864. He was graduated from Wake Forest College at the age of l9, and the following year. before he had at tained his legal majority, became a member of the North Carolina Legis- lature-the youngest man who ever sat in that body. At the same period he studied law and was admitted to the bar. but he abandoned the practice Of law in 1888 to enter the Baptist min istry. After a brief period as pastor of d church in Raleigh, N. C., he occupied a Baptist pulpit in Boston, and the next year accepted a call to NewSY ork remaining in charge of the Peoples Baptist Church in that city until 1899. MT. Dixon's attacks on Tammany mis- rule and his strongly worded utter ances on other topics of the day att tracted widespread attention during the period that he occupied the New York pulpit. During the past few years MT. Dixon has written several successful novels and has also given much of his time to the~lecture plat

 Corporations are necessary and use full in this country. As rule they do not deserve the continual abuse. and batting they receive from the public and from many of the law makers.

Fordney is an absurd one.
