TUESDAY, JANUARY 20. 1908.

The voIcano1ogists. earthquakolo- ~ists. and all the other 'ologists are having a deuced hard time trying to explain just how 1t all happened. There are two sources of worry, In c0nneetion with their explanations. One is that two of them rarely agree and the other that they fail to explain their explanations so that the 1aymen can understand and be convinced. As N matter of fact we are still of the opinion that no satisfactory solution of the matter can be found. There are some mysteries that can be solved, and it may be admitted that some of the earthquakes causeSsmay be ascer- tained and made plain. but so far it appears that there is great deal of speculation and many differences of opinion on the subject. When the ex- perts really hand out a fairly satis- factory solution of the causes of one quake perhaps the very next one will be entirely different and require a diff ferent treatment. It's a puzzling mat tRr, beyond a doubt.

ABOUT sTRADDLING.

The Boston Globe Is one of the few among our prominent Northern con temporaries to take a fall out of our future President. which it does in this manner. It was speaking of woman suffrage, and says that MT Taft, fol- lowing the pathway of Roosevelt. tat tempts to settle the question of wOman's immediate enfranchisement by patron izingly saving that the dear ladies can have the ballot any time they want it that Is. when enough of them ex- press the want. How many women may prove enough to bring the change about, we do not know. But let us assume that a majority will suffice Even that concession Is an advance from the old crossroads where woman was told that the only place for her was the home; yet, when measured by instruments of precision, it Is not so great a stride forward. For. if we apply the same principle to other mat ttrS or soNeIlllIIeht, 4Hi' AoA' SNP posed progress looks like mere tact full sidestepping.
 For instance, why not say we shall not have any child labor laws until a majority of the children or their par ents to decide? And why not allow people to live in any sort of ram shackIe buildings they may choose to, until. by some agreement among them selves. they may ask for improved tenements? Who ever thought of let ting the slaves decide whether they should have freedom or not? Neither

He was. promoter of some of our most elaborate public entertain ments--the Sesqui- and the Oriole Celebrations and much of their success was due to nls able direction. MT. DeLeon is a prolific. ready and able writer. of both poetry and pl ose, and he has given to the reading public a number of delightful stories, some short, others in book form, and serials magazlnes of the country His latest work is, Bellies and Beapx of the Six ties,'' and it is very popular. favorite in Select social circles here, ceased. 1t was. regretted generally.

There is a picture of himself on the left, repre- senting, him as he was in 1869. and on the right, as he Is in 1909. At the top Old Friends to Talk to-" In the cen- ter of the card are two stanzas of which he is the author. They are as follows:

Tuesday" says an observant ex- change, "the Duke of the Abruzzi was to renounce his rank to marry Miss EIkins; Wednesday he was not to re- nounce his rank, but was still deter mined to marry; yesterday he was to remain loyal, but was out of the mar rying mood and was off to the Hima- layas; this morning he will have to start round the program all over again" That Abruzzi farce affords as much good matter for enterprising correspondents as the Castellane mess has done. Will there be no end of them?

We Do Not Need It. |, Ny-.z f... Dogk

OpeIlka Morning Post.
 Some newspapers In the State that are supposed to be close to the present administration In matters of State leg islation, are continually intimating that the Governor is contemplating an ex- traordlnary session of the Legislature during the coming spring, but these same papers fall to give any necessary excuse for such an act on the part of the Governor.
 Under the present circumstances. a majority of the people can see no req son why an extra session of the Leg islature should be called. for the State most assuredly has all the laws it needs, and under the present unsettled conditions 1t would be very unwise to go and load up the State on lot of new laws.
 The State is just beginning to re- cover from the effects of some detri- mental legislation and q panic thrown VI in for good measure. and the people dc not want any more jaws enacted at the present. Business conditions should De allowed to adjust themselves so that confidence will be restored. So long as the State Is harrassed by the uncer- tainty of the laws already passed, nc more legbslatiou needed.

Hon.

Nashville Banner.
 The Oklahoma Legislature proposes to put a ban upon the complimentary title. Honorable" which" contracted into Hon" is so generally prefxed in print to names of men who hold or nave held Federal or State office. Of cours5, it Is not to be expected that any legislation of the kind proposed would prevent aay man or newspaper from clubbing a public man "Honora- ble." The title is as common as that of colonel, which Is so commonly ap- piled without regard to the question whether the man so designated ever served in the army or ever had com mission. Having no titles of nobility in this country our people are prone to bestow complimentary honors ad iibitum. The term honorable" Is very commonly attached to Che names of Congressman and legislators. but there is no rule which requires the bestow- ment of this titular distinction. It Is a term of respect. which may be re- garded as' appropriate in general all have sheard it .insistAa ,thef SO fauSas cerned.

According to the course of frail nature he Is not to re- main with us long. and when he shall have been gathered to his fathers his most eXacting critics will cheerfully acknowledge that one of the great men of Alabama annals was Thomas Goode Jones. Ills name Is entwined into more of Alabama's history, both turbulent and tranquil. than any man alive to- day. Long live Judge Jones!
