People Pouring into Mexico

Rev. James d. Eaton, ID. D., mis-
slonary of the American Board in
Mexico, writing from Chihuahua of
the outlook for the new year, calls
attention to the rush of people from
the North into that land. The num-
Der OF tourists is phenomenal, but
besides them there is a stream of set
tiers and investors which seems to
be increasing in volume. Moreover.
Japanese, Chinese, Syrians and other
classes of immigrants are pouring in,
until 1t looks as if Mexico would have
10 race civil and Industrial problems
like those of the United States. The
government is alert and enterprising
IN It's effort to absorb and utilize
all that comes to it. There is
immense material development go
ing on; the building of rail
roads, factories and smelters, and
the promotion of irrigation and for
estry schemes; with this material de-
velopment there is a corresponding
progress in popular education. One
State plans for the coming year an
increase of expenditures for school
purposes greater than it's entire out
lay for schools Cor the present wear.
This education, however, is entirely
lrrelglous and it is lamentable fact
that many of the rising generation
are rather proud of the fact that thew
have no religion. Mere boys boast
of being free-thiRkers. The need OF
religious scho2lSfnd teaching to sup
plement the public education grows
with the lrapid development of the
country.-BOston Transcript.

Denatured Alcohol Law a Failure.

The free de1atured alcohol scheme
has proved d appointment. The
commissioners OF internal revenue, in
his annual report just issued, shows
that since the passage of the bill Just
ten stills have been set up for the
denaturing of alcohol, and the cost
OF the product has been far greater
than was promised. In discussing the
limited use of alcohol in this country,
Internal Revenue Commissioner
Capers ascribes as reasons for its not
oelng extensively used the relatively
greater cost of production as com
pared with gasolene and kerosene
and the lack of proper appliances for
its use.

An Absolute NeeeSSity.

The persistence with which the
waterways question comes to the
front at almost every turn is proof
positive of the public recognition of
the vital Importance of the matter.
In certain circles, natably in the West,
a specially deep impression has been
made by the earnest championship of
James j. Hill of the movement for
improved channels of water trans
portatlon. Mr.. Hill has spoken with
emphasis on various occasions. the
latest being the meeting of the Rivers
and HarbOrs Congress in Washing
ton. What he said then was an Ella
boration of what he had said re-
peatedly before. And it was logical
and conclusive. Mr.. Hill is a rail
road man-One of the foremost in the
country-and great system in the
Northwest is mainly the creating of
his constructive genius in this field.
But Mr.. Hill is more than railroad
man. He comprehends the growing
needs of the country and frankly saws
the railroads are not equal to the de-
mands for freight carrying, and are
not likely to be even with the most
rapid extension of their facilities of
which they are capable.
Out of this difficulty there is but one
way. The water routes must be i'm
proved, to permit the transportation
of cheap and bulky freight, expedi-
tious delivery of which is not essen
tial. That would leave the railroads
free to meet the requirements of such
traffic as calls for speedy carriage and
III which the freight is more compact.
There is business enough now for
both and there is certain to be more.
Mr.. Hill, instead of taking the narrow
view once entertained by certain
leaders in his line of activity, that
railroads and water routes are anita
gonistic, sees that they may be mu-
tually helpful, if not interdependent,
and his is reasoning is logical and
in exact accord with the development
now in progress here and elsewhere.
Some figures which he gave are con-
vincing on this point. He showed
that while the railroads are increas-
ing their facilities for handling traffic
at rate average 21a per cent, an
nualy, the freight traffic itself is in
creasing Upper cent each year. There
is no going behind such returns as
that. They paint the situation in
vivid olors.-Troy Times,

Bank Clearings.

The bank clearings of the country
have always been held an index as
to business conditions. The Novem-
Der statement shows that there was
a decrease of twenty nine and three
tenths per cent compared with No
vem5er 1906. AS showing what sec
tiOns have suffered most severely by
the panic this statement is import
ant. New York City shows a shrink
age of thirty six and one tenths per
cent, the Pacific Coast thirty six and
three tenths per cent, the Southern
States seventeen and nine tenths per
cent, the Central and West sixteen
per cent, while the South Atlantic
States show but eight and eight tenths
per cent loss. Florida is included in
the South Atlantic States, and it's re.
markable handling of the situation
is decidedly gratifying to our people
and an honor to the men at the heaC
of our banking system.

Table Decoration.

OF course, ones best white table
linen and prettiest china, glass and
silverware is in evidence. A circular
waiter to hold the centerpiece is
placed in the exact center of the
table. Where one can secure the
wild ferns, which grow almost every
where in the South, these should be
arranged on the waiter to cover it,
and as background or mat for the
pyramid of fruit piled thereon, and
to set off the holly and mistletoe
sprigs fringing the mound of fruit
Combine the apples, oranges, banan-
as and grapes with regard to color
effect as we'll as symmetry of the
mound.
If one can have all the mistletOe
and holly needed, place sprays at
every plate, and use literally i'll din
ing room decoration, as we'll as scat
tering over the table.
Where one has the light or chan
delier suspended from the ceiling
over center of dining table, make
garlands of evergreen, literally
sprinkled with holly berry sprigs, or
rOsettes of crimson baby ribbon, and
fasten to the chandelier, reaching in
festoOns down to the four corners of
the table, where they can be fastened
with crimson bow of ribbon or
cluster of hOlly.-Southern Ruralist.

We fear if Longworth leaves his
quite secure place in the senate, for
the more snowy and dignified posi-
ton as Americas ambassador at the
court of Berlin, he may soon find him
self out of job, as Father Roosevelt

successor, and the next incumbent of

PANAMA CITY. FLA. JAN. 2. 1907
w. j. Bryan u. S. Senator.

With such haste as almost partakes
of indecency, before the flowers that
we're laid upon Senator Mallory's
grave were wilted, Governor Broward
on December 25th appointed William
j. Bryan, of Jacksonville, his sue
cessor.
There was no condition of public
affairs that rendered necessary such
haste, or made it pardonable, and it
can only be accounted for on the
ground that the powers behind the
throne demanded this quick and dis
gusting action upon the part of the
governor, and he servilely complied.
William j. Bryan is the youngest
United States senator, having been
born October 10th, 1876, making him
now but one year over the required
minimum age limit required in a
member of the u. S. Senate.
Mr. Bryan, though young, is well
and favorably known throughout the
state. He had already announced
his candidacy to succeed Senator
Mallory, and begun active campaign
ing. This appointment will possibly
aid him in the campaign in some
ways, and prove detrimental in
others.
The manner of his appointment
makes it evident that he is the state
administration candidate, and will
receive all the aid that such posi-,
ton can give him, while on the other
hand he will have to champion its
errors, and fight it's opponents, ano
they are both numerous.
1t is unfortunate with the enviable
record that Mr. Bryan has thus fal
made that he goes in to the senatorial
campaign thus handicapped. The
environment in which it places hin
is inconsistent with his record as 6
friend of the common people, ant
places him as an enemy of what they
are now asking for, return of pros
perity through equality before the law
of corporations, as well as their pa
irons.

Enthusiasm Giving Way To Criticism.

When Mr.. Roosevelt became Presi-
dent, the London Punch published a
cartoon showing the Rough Rider,
alert, ingenious, asr iring, arriving
on the scene. The work was so
valued by its subject that Mr. Roose-
welt was reported to have bought the
original drawing. 1t is doubtful,
however, if he will offer to purchase
the full-page picture of 1.-THE Station
airy Crusader" in the last number of
Punch. 1t represents valorous but
loquaciOus knight upon a rocking
horse, waving his sword and calling
out, "FOllOw me! Cor $4,000 words
to that efiect)." Truth is permitted
to the fun-maker though it does not
follow that the fun-maker always un-
covers the truth. But it cannot be
denied that the changed attitude of
Punch -as respects President Roose
welt, is sYmptOmatic of general
change. That is to say, enthusiasm
is giving place to criticism; the Presi-
dent sees the beginning of the process
by which history will make up its
mind about him.-New York Evening

Count Okuma, leader of the pro
gressive party in Japan, in referring
to a possible visit of the U. S. fleet
to his country says: 1.-The coming
of an American fleet will tend to for
ward the civilization fthe world and
increase the friendliness of the two
nations"
No more glowing tribute could be
paid the memory of any man than is
offered Commodore Perry in this ORR
entail prediction as to the beneficent
influence of our fleets movements to
eastern waters. Neither can one fail
to see the subtle and delicate compli-
ment paid the little island empire
herself; that visit to Japan would
benefit not only Japan individually
but the United States, the entire
world at large.

HarbOr Improvement.

From various sources the PILOT
learns of increased interest being
taken in the subject of the improve
ment of this harbor. Public men are
entering into the work of promoting
the proposition with zeal that por-
tends success, while various cities
have through appeals to their con-
gressmen. displayed deep interest
i'll securing to themselves the great
and lasting benefits that will accrue
through having nearby seaport OIL
their own.
A gentleman writing from Dothan
to one of our bay citizens states that
the saving to that section on freight
on cotton will be 81 80 per bale, which
added to the saving on freights on
naval stores and timber for export,
will make the saving to Dothan alone
for the first year at least 100000.
One of our citizens travelling
through south west Georgia finds the
people there very DESTROYS of secur-
ing deep water harbor here, and
willing to do all they can toward ac
complishing that object.
All of the congressman in the ter
ritory tributary to st Andrews Bay
have stated their willingness to do
all in their power in this matter, and
every effort is being made to lay be-
fore the Board of Engineers of the
War Department sufficient facts, as
to the volume of trade now tributary
to this port, as will warrant their
taking immediate action toward i'm

Judge HOugh in the United States
District Court, in New York, recently
decided that law establishing eighty
cents thousand feet for gas would
not be enough to pay interest and
dividends on the company's capitali-
cation. The principal point in this
decision is that if upheld by the Su-
preme Court of the United States the
Railroad rate laws would be held I'M
constitutional. 1t is based on the
proposition that a franchise granted
corporation is property and not a
license, or permit.

Florida Railway Construction.

From the report of railway con-
struction in 1907, we find that there
were 322 miles of road built in
Florida during the past year. This
was surpassed by but two southern
states, Texas with 400 miles, and
Louisiana with $50 miles. The pro-
posed construction for 1908 aggre-
gates 800 miles. This includes in this
section 55 miles for the B. G. & st. A.
r. R., to complete construction from
the Alabama state line to this point;
also 20 miles to complete the A. &
st. A. B. r. R. to Panama City,
Florida stands fourth in proposed con-
struction for 1908.

When Life Was Little Valued

The 223 capital offenses which the
old English law recognized as punish
able by death did not keep down crime.
and with the abolition of the death
penalty for all crimes but murder
crime in England, as well as every
where else all over the world where
the death penalty has been modified,
lessened markedly, notes the Boston
Traveller.
Edmond Burke said that he could in
his time obtain the assent Of the
house Of commons to any bill that car
r1ed the death punishment.
A mans life was not very valuable
In those strenuous days. If he scratch
ed his name on Westminster bridge,
II he wore wig or false mustache or
any other disguise on public road, II

REMOVE THE CAUSE.
How to Remedy Much of the Suffer-
ing in WaXaliaCbie


The only way to cure the attacks
of Indigestion that are so common
in Waxahachie is by using Mi-ona
stomach tablets. They remove the
cause of indigestion, strengthen the
muscles of the stomach and bowels,
and restore the whole digestive sys-
tenn to health and strength.
When the stomach is weak there is
Indigestion, flatulence, dizziness,
headaches, sleeplessness and many
other disagreeable symptoms. The
only remedy that can be relied upon
absolutely to cure this condition is
Mi-o-na, for it removes the cause and
restores health so that all food is
easily digested without pain or suf-
fering.
Hood & Curtin sell Mona under
an absolute guarantee to refund the
money unless it cures. Try a 50-cent
box and see how much real good it
does in Strengthening the digestion.

American play many critics have
termed it. The unquestioned power
and intense human appeal of this
