IMPORTANCE OF THEORY

The situation ut Washington, says
the Commoner, emphasizes the fact
that a theory is, after all, absolutely
necessary If we are going TO make any
progress in the discussion of public
questions. Some say that a thing may
bc theoretically good and yet bad in
practice. There is the objection which
the advocates of high tariff make 10
arguments attacking the protective
principle. but that is a fallacy. That
which is theoretically good canno he
bad in practice, for If II thing were bad
in practice it could not be good in
theory. The trouble is that people
sometimes want to do things incousist.
ent with any principle which they dare
to present. The tariff discussions give
many illustrations of this. Some of the
Democrats oppose the principle of pro.
lection, but seek to invoke that prin-
ciple for the benefit of a few protected
industries, while many Republicans.
on the other hands ardcntly champion
the principle of protection. but are
anxious to part from it when they come
to the scheduling which especially
burdens their constituents. The result
is that the speeches and votes of pro.
t%ectionist Democrats are used to prove
the insincerity of the Democratic party
In demanding tariff reform. and tho
speeches and votes of the tariff reform
Republicans bring confusion to the
Republican ranks

not attached to her, but however that
may have been the widow became at
tached to him, and as he seems TO have
lost interest in the matter she has at
tached his property. which is a form OF
attachment that he does not enjoy.
The result is, that he finds himself the
defendant in a first-class Breach of
Promise Case and his questionable atti-
tude towards the widow will lie given
an airing in open court
The parties in the case are so promi-
nent that it is feared no court room will

A Fine Record.

Charlotte Chronicle.
For some years past, the South
ern Railway Company has main
tanned an industrial magazine known
as the Southern Field. 1t is publish
ed under the management OF Dir. NJ.
Y. Richards, land and Industrial
agent OF the Southern, is attractively
illustrated and carries each month ii
considerable amount OF literature OF
IL valuable character i'll regard to
the South and it's resources. In the
December number it gives a review
Of ii years new industries, and says
that the territory traversed by the
Southern Railway and the Mobile 4
Ohio Railroad is making rapid
strides in the development OF its
manifold natural resources, in the
establishment OF new industries and
in the enlargement of factories
already in operation, as well as in the
steady advancement and the con-
tinued growth ofthe cities and towns,
is fully evidenced by the data pre-
scented by the Land and Industrial
Department in its annual report Tor
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908.
The simple statement of these facts
and figures is proof conclusive OF the
substantial progress made and OF
the wide diversity Of the manufac
tured products furnished to the com
merce not alone OF the United States
but the world. by the Industries OF
the Southeast.
During the year there were COM
pleted and put in operation 394 new
industries, having n combined CAPT.

This report. it must be remember
ed, is confined to the territory COW
cred by the lines of the Southern, and
therefore represents but a part OF
the years development in the South.
The showing will serve to give the
outside world an idea of what the
South is accomplishing in the way of
industrial development, and in the
