Mobile As An Export Port

While Galveston is outranking New Orleans in wheat and corn shipments, the latter complains that in yellow pine exports it is being outdone by Mobile Pensacola and Gulfport Recent ex- ports go to show that in 1907 Mobile sent more lumber to ports of the United Kingdom than any other city. It ex- ported to Great Britain last year 215,- 117,S92 feet, while New Orleans sent to British ports but 54,927 1903 feet.
 It is not easy to account for these differences, because Louisiana is now chief producing state both in yellow pine lumber and cypress. New Or leans is desirous of becoming a lum- Der port, and for that purpose it's docks board is preparing to construct an ex- port lumber wharf at a cost of $300,000.
 It is greatly to the credit of our one port that it's exports of lumber are so large. While the figures of exports to the continent and to South America are lacking, yet is plain that Mobile s primacy would hold good in a full showing. Mobile is as pre-eminent in lumber as Galveston is in grain, and the hope is that an Open Warrior will make Mobile the leading coal port of the gulf. The leadership in lumber and coal would be glory enough for our great port and it would point to victories in other directions when the Panama canal is opened.

Sunday Closing In Washington

The District of Columbia is prac- tically without Sunday laws. It's stores, saloons, pool and billiard rooms are free to open on Sunday as well as on week days. Senator Johnston did not like this feature of Washington life, and he has presented a bill that pre- sents in substance the Alabama Sun oay laws for use in the District of Columbia. Senator Johnston's bill has been referred by the committee on Dis trict of Columbia to a subcommittee consisting of Senator Johnston and Senator Gamble of South Dakota, and hearings on the subject are to be be- gun before the subcommittee today The customary opposition to Sunday closing begins to appear in letters and petitions, but no doubt the committee will decide to make the District of Columbia conform in the respect of Sunday closing to the practice of the remainder of the country. The singu- lar thing about the matter is that the Capital City has been permitted to go along all ,nese years without any Sun day laws.

THE AMERICAN BOY.

From the Boston Globe.
 An English scientific man, Sir William Henry Preece, an engineer Of renown, finds that the American boy is smarter than the European boy In 9 paper be- fore the Royal society of arts the other night Sir William said: The Ameri- can boy possesses the energy and smart ness of a new race, and the European boy mentally is two years behind him.
 Good for the American boy! He comes into his own at last, when the wise heads of royal societies discover him.
 His life in the public schools, where he touches elbows with all races, colors and creeds, ensuring him democracy of spirit; his initiative in making fishing gear, if he live in the country, and steam engines and trolley cars if in the city, give his natural inventive and creative ability a chance; his free roamings over field and through wood, his swimming g and his boating and his coasting, all make him strong, self-reliant and quick-witted. What chance has the European boy, tied down to certain rules of conduct, hedged by the conservatism of class, reared in the atmoswhere of the draw ing room and the private classroom; or, if poor, led by circumstances to look with envy, or possibly bitterness, on the boy above him socally-what chance has he in competition with free-footed young America?

Quick Action.

"A notable and gratifying feature of the United States Steel corporation s method of conducting business is the prompt way it has of acting" said d former iron maker.
 The corporation is the most thor oughly organized manufacturing con cern in the world, and it never under takes any enterprise until experts have made a systematic examination and a favorable report; but this done tn ere is on delay in execution.
 When President Corey decided last Saturday to make certain improvements in this district, the finance committee met in two days thereafter and ap- proved his recommendations. Although this transaction involves an expeadf- ture of many millions, there is no pause to see where the money is to come from. The corporation always has the money, and inside of week from the time the United States Steel officials completed their inspection of the Ten nessee company's properties work on new construction begins. The day that the United States Steel corporation en- tered the Birmingham district was a red letter day for Alabama"

GOING HOME IN THE CITY.
m the Saturday Evening Post.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
 In some big American towns the local
 transportation service is better than in
 others, but in none Is it very good. Morn
 ing and evening the cars are crowded,
 and the opinion of the management, that
 it must ever lie with the people them
 selves to remedy this condition by ab- staining from travel at these hours, seems to us very like the appeal to go on vegetable diet in order to punish the beef trust.
 transportation system that is first
 rate when you do not wish to use it, and bad when you do wish to use it, certainly falls farther short of ideal per lection than most managerial apologists will allow.
 The overcrowding between and is
 alleged to be chargeable mostly to con-
 scienceless women shoppers who will not go home before 5, although they could obviously just as well do so if only they
 would start little earlier. As the wom-
 en shoppers will certainly persist at
 their pleasure in refusing to go home
 before 5, the only practicable solution is the introduction of Jim Crow cars-re- fined, of course, even sublimated-to
 which shall be relegated every female passenger in the evening rush hour who cannot present a certificate that she is not a shopper.
 This would enable the traction people to give their undivided attention to reme- dying the morning rush, when the cars are quite as badly crowded, although there are no women shoppers. fplr is
 public to be patient, or to take account of the difficulties of the company what l ever they may be. The company in every case eagerly undertook the job with its
 eyes open If it isn't delivering the goods it promised it has no right to ex- l. pect patience. Hanging to strap IS
 not a favorable position in which to cul- tiyate that virtue.

Affairs In Cuba

Governor Magoon has removed SIX Cuban provincial governors, and yet President Roosevelt proposes to hand Cuba hack to the Cubans on February l, next. Many friends of Cuba say this means a third and final intervention, for the work of reforming Cuba IS not completed, and the best Cubans are not coming forward as candidates for office. There is no promise Of good administration if the Americans leave the island in 1909.
 Governor Magoon has been actively engaged in preparing new codes. When General Wood left the island it had no sanitary code, no laws con trolling the executive branch of the government. no electoral law, no judiciary law. no civil service law, no code for the diplomatic and consular service. no mortgage or commercial laws. Six codes are in hand, and commission is working on other gen. eral laws. But it is impossible to put this mass of new law into efficient operation in ten months. The restora- ton of the schools and asylums IS progressing. Ten months will not suffice. however. Ten years is really needed.
 President Roosevelt can turn Cuba over to the Cubans in February, but he cannot guarantee to them good government An early withdrawal from Cuba is regretted by the best Cubans, and the question should be carefully considered before any ire vocable step is taken.

of interstate commerce, which has heretofore been controlled by the gen eral government. If a newspaper can not publish an advertisement of an article made and taxed and fully rec ognized in Speaker Joe Gannon's dis trict. no circular in it's favor can be sent in the mails of our common coun- try. no railroad can carry it foot in side the states bounds, no slaves can be cut in this state to make package to hold it. Like the freedom of the press, interstate commerce would pass away as the morning dew in order to make room for the whitening sun of inordinate police power.
 It is scarcely worth while to say that the supreme court of the United States npholds no such contention. It permits liquors to be ordered and to be deliv- cred by rail at any point in this or any other state. The line between the police powers of state and the inter- state commerce of a great and growing nation has not been and assuredly will not be drawn to please the agitators. It has been and will no doubt be drawn to preserve the rights of all the states engaged in commerce.
 To stretch police powers to the point that strikes down both the freedom Of the press and interstate commerce would be to paralyze the land in order to satisfy a few professional extrem- ists. The latter will have to get along without the support of the United States supreme court and of all fair minded and reasonable people. They should employ less force and more argumentative/ persuasion. The people may be persuaded, but they cannot be driven to accept the peculiar notions of the campaigning iconoclasts.

Radlcalism Running Riot

To carry the police powers of the the extremists of the Law and Order league would be to act without rhyme or reason. For if an article recognized and taxed by the general government as lawful article of commerce cannot have it's merits presented in a news paper, then the editor has no right to favor an open market for it's sale, and a correspondent who incidentally men, tions the subject may be adjudged guilty The freedom of the press would in that way be abolished. The guar antees of the federal and the state con- stitutions would by such an interpreta- ton and exaggeration be trampled underfoot. It is not reasonable to think that the courts would uphold an extension of the police powers of a state that would destroy at one fell blow the freedom of the press. If they did they would have to exclude from the state a good share of the people s literature, for scarcely magazine or newspaper appears without advertise ments of articles that the fanatics are endeavoring to boycott.
 Then, too, they would usurp the field

HOBBES' TEMPERANCE.

From the Westminster Gazette.
 Chatsworth, among many interesting associations, was the home provided by his old pupil for the philosopher Hoboes, some of whose unpublished manuscripts are still preserved in the library. Hobbes declared in his ninety second year that despite the lavish hospitality of the Cavendlshes he could not remember be- ing drunk above hundred times dur ing his long life. This boast would hardly draw cheers from modern temperance meeting but connotes considerable abstem- iousness for those days of deep drink ing. To compensate for this asceticism the sage was an inveterate smoker. There is a certain piquancy about the fact. if it be true, that this typical ration alist and derider of 'superstitions" was himself dreadfully kafraid of the ghosts and apparitions" which seem to have then existed in great numbers and va riety around Chatsworth and Hardwick.

FIRST ARREST IN
 KILLING OF WOOD

The first arrest to be made in connection with the assassination on Monday night Of P. E. Wood, conductor on the South Bessemer car line, was made last night, when o. ". Vim of Bessemer was placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriffs R. T. Jones, George Jones and D. N. Cufi, on a warrant sworn out by J. E. Wood. The arrest of Winn created sensation at Bessemer, where he has always borne a good reputation He is plumber and states that he can prove an alibi. A man who resides in the same house where Winn rooms is said to have stated last night that Vim was in his room shortly after S:3O o'clock on Monday night.
 The murder of Wood was one of the most cold-blooded killings that has oe- cured in the Birmingham district in years, and was undoubtedly premeditated. The place of the killing is small cut a few hundred yards beyond the crossing of the Woodward Iron companys spur track and near Lipscomb station. Just quarter of a mile away the Alabama Great Southern railroad tracks cross the Woodward spur track, and all trains slack up there on account of the crossing.
 The murderer first secured two cross ties from the crossing of the car line at the Woodward spur and carried them to the cut. His plans were well arranged. Car 657, with Motorman w. R. Browning and Conductor P. E. Wood left Bes- semer at Il 40 and A. G. s. train No. going south left Birmingham at 12:05, c1A ar-I cGiI The electric car stopped in the cut, mo- torman and conductor jumped out and started moving the crossties, while the as- sassin, crouched behind some bushes not more than 10 feet from the stopping con- ductor, took aim and fired. He also pulled the other trigger of his shotgun, but the cartridge snapped. Then he threw the shells out and made for the A. G. s. crossing.
 In less than two hours after the killing the bloodhounds had been brought from East Lake and had taken the trail. The south side of the bank was searched first for a trail but with no result. The other bank was then taken, and in two or three minutes the trail was found. Straight to the crossing it went and stopped
 A day light search yesterday morning found two empty shells, while the ground behind the bushes showed where the mur- dered had crouched. A little distance be- hind this place there were tracks showing
 A daylight search yesterday morning Coroner Paris arrived on the scene about 5 clock and started an investigation. The remains were brought on to Birmingham and the investigation continued here.
 The remains of Conductor Wood were sent to Iuka, Miss, late yesterday after noon by the Gaudin Undertaking company for interment He is survived by wife, three children and several brothers.

Judue Chilton's Visit.

Judge John M. Chiffon of Montgom- cry, a candidate for the supreme bench has returned home after spending few days among his friends in Birmingham. q have received many assurances of support in Jefferson county" said Judge Chiffon, and l have good hopes of being one of the winners in the pri- mary. This is the first time I have en- tered a contest before the people, and the cordial treatment I am receiving is extremely gratifying"
 Judge Chiltons admirers say his greatest recommendation for the bench is that he has practiced law success fully for S6 years, except the short time he served as circuit judge about 20 years ago. Judge Chiffon comes from a family of distinguished lawyers. His father, Chief Justice William P Chil- ton, for whom Chiffon county was named, and his uncle, Senator John T. Morgan, were two of Alabama's great est lawyers.

THOUSANDS HEAR BRYAN.
Nebraskan Says He May Soon Be Too
 Old For Presidency.

Peoria, H., April 14.-Seven thousand people from all parts of Central Illi- nois turned out to hear William J. Bryan in the Coliseum here this evening. Judge Nicholas E. Worthington introduced MT. Bryan.
 The speech covered a period of an hour and half and was closely followed No reference to National Committeeman Roger Sullivan was made and all the points of the democratic national plat form were dwelt upon at length Prior to the meeting a banquet was rendered the Nebraskan at the Creve Occur club by prominent local democrats. During the course of the banquet MT. Bryan made a short speech in which he said he thought he was too young when he ran the first time and if he were not elected soon he feared he would be too old. At midnight MT. Bryan left for Chicago.

Money For Good Roads

The Overton amendment, which will be submitted to the qualified voters of the state in November, aims to devote the net hire of the eonyicts to the building of good roads for the use of the people. The net proceeds of the convicts now approximates $500,000 a year. and this sum would soon link together the 67 counties by hard, pass able roads constructed according to scientific and modern methods. In the course of time the amendment would fill the state with roads that would lead to it's development and enrich ment for nothing develops or enriches a section faster than good roads in all seasons of the year.
 If it be claimed that the money is needed for the public schools let the record of the legislature in scattering money in great sums, leaving the pub lie schools undeveloped, be examined. The state will hereafter sustain it's public schools, but in order to render the public schools fully available she needs better roads. She needs better roads for a thousand reasons, all good, and every farmer and merchant will certainly vote for the Overton amend ment.

UNSPOkEN WORDS.

By John Boyle OReilly. Unspoken words like treasures in the
 mine, Are valueless until we give them birth; Like unfound gold their hidden beauties
 shine,
 Which God has made to bless and gild
 the earth. How sad 'twould be to see a masters Strike glorious notes upon voiceless
 lute; But, oh, what pain, when at Gods own
 commando
 A heartstring thrills with kindness, but
 is mute! Then hide it not, the music of the sohl- Dear sympathy, expressed with. kindly
 voice; But let it like shining river roll To deserts dry-to hearts that would
 rejoice. Oh, let the symphony of kindly wordS Sound for the poor, the friendless, Apd
 the weak, r~ And he will bless youl He who struck
 these chords. Will strike another when, in turn, you

Sees Good Times Ahead.

'The Corey visit" said Sterling A. Wood, president of the Commercial club, yesterday, "has done an unlimited amount of good in Birmingham. These were fine men, and their opinion of the Birming- ham district was worth something.
 Tt put a new light in the eyes of the promoters of the district to hear them tell of it's greatness and how surely they intended to spend money here.
 'The fact that they are to spend great sums in Birmingham and vicinity is proof solid that good times are already here, and while the merchants may not be enjoying a good trade at this time, consider that due more to the fact that right now the farmer is busy with his planting, and has no time to listen to the engine bells but he will be here with money to spend before long,"
