ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES

er. Says the Ilollo Star. which publishes
the letter:
when we say that the writer has re-
ceived considerable school training at the
expense of the government and Is now
engaged In imparting his knowledge to
other young ideas that desire to shoot,
also on a government salary, we mean to
cast no reflection upon our generally
most efficient educational system"
Here is the letter:
Dear sir:
By the need of the bodily pains imposed
upon my visual organs, I feel bound to
ask you a very important information
regarding the Murine which is used to
put as medicine on eyes, whether that
store sells this kind of medicine or not.
This medicine is used to put on the
eyes by one drop at q time according to
the instruction of the Doctor. feel very
badly that this medicine is exceedingly
important for my eyes as they are get
ting off rapidly into a bad state, IL then
l fail to use this medicine according to
the instruction of the Doctor recently.
Then thru your mercy to me for my eyes,
l would kindly ask you to inform me by
the return mail whether you sell this
medical help in your store or not. Be-
cause. If then that store has this and
thru your kindness and cortesy of reply
ing this, the next mail after the recep-
ton of yours, a letter containing the
right amount, that is everything which is
needed, will be sent In without a bit of
delay.
"P. s.
This shows and tells you that my eyes
have been operated in the Civil Hospital
while I was in Manila as a. government
student.
Thanking you heartily in advance and
hoping brilliantly to hear a kind word
from you"

SWitchmen'S Strike In the Northwest

The switchmens strike in the north
west extends from st. Paul to the
Rocky Mountains. 1t does not affect
roads south or east of Minnesota, and
it is confined to the latitude Of that
state. 1t has tied up the railroads in
Minnesota to such an extent that only
one out of twenty-three big Touring
mills in Minneapolis is in operation.
The switchmen ask in view of the
increased cost of living increased pay.
The railroads appear to be willing to
arbitrate the issue under the Erdman
law, but the switchmen object to arbi-
tration because final decision could
not in that way be obtained In less
than two years, and while waiting for
a final decision they would have to
work for present wages.
The strike Of the switchmen shows
how rapidly the labor organization has
been extended to all classes of rail
road workers. At first it was confined
to the locomotive engineers, but it
now extends to almost every grade of
railroad men. The switchmen are as
we'll organized as are the locomotive
engineers, and strike by the former
is equally damaging to all shipping in
terests.
The strike of the northwestern
switchmen is declaration of war be-
tween capital and labor, and like all
other wars it must be fought out or
negotiated. Time will soon tell wheth-
er it is to be decided by main strength
or by diplomacy between oppsing lead
ers. At this writing both sides are
militant and aggressive, and also con-
fident.

Banner Cotton County

Ellis county is In central Texas, and
Waxahachie is its capital. 1t claims
to be the only county out Of 800 cot
/ ton-growing counties to make over
lou 900 bales of cotton in single year.
1nis it did in 1906. At the prices then
prevailing for cotton, says correspon.
dent of the Manufacturers Record, the
crop of that county brought the i'm.
mense sum of sS,250,OO0, while the
cotton seed from that crop brought a
little over 100000, making total for
the crop of ,s,150,OOO Other field crops
grown in that county during the same
year were valued at 100000, while
the value of fruit, vegetables, poultry,
eggs and dairy products would swell
the years aggregate crop to the sum
of $4,000 900. According to the last
census that county had population
of about $4,000 Allowing five persons
to each family, this would mean a per
capital of $3.50. or $500 per family.
The crop of Ellis county is about
treble that of Montgomery county il
this state, while the population OF
Montgomery county largely exceeds
that of Ellis county. This is, however,
chieny due to the fact that Waxahachie
is little city having less than 10000
people in it, while Montgomery city
has perhaps five times as many peo-
pie. Inc agricultural workers in each
do not vary greatly in number, but in
Ellis county they make more cotton
per capita and their earnings are cor
respondingly greater. The two counties
are not greatly unlike in size. Ellis
county adjoins the county in which
Dallas is located on the south.

favored by their votes the present laws?
Neverl All men should obey these laws,
as unreasonable as they are, but as an
other legislature sits in 1911, the laws
will be materially modified
mot only should hotels be allowed to
serve drinks, but it should be lawful for
the grape growers who were induced to
buy lands In Alabama and plant vine
yards to make wine and sell it, thereby
adding to the thrift Of the state.
There should be some way to keep the
money that goes out of Alabama to pay
for liquor-millions OF dollars annually
at home. Every million dollars in circu-
lation In Birmingham is a big help.
IF the question voted on Monday had
been simply for or against statewide
prohibition, then prohibition would. in my
opinion, have lost by a good majority,
and men opposed to saloons who have
helped kill it"

ALABAMA,s REDEMPTION.

From the Nashville American
The proposed prohibition amendment
to the constitution, passed at the extra
session of the Alabama legislature last
summer and submitted to the people yes
terday for approval or rejection. has been
emphatically repudiated by even a larger
majority than the opposition leaders an
ticipated.
II was the first time In the history of
the state that the prohibition question
has been submitted to the electorate, the
last legislature, elected on a local option
platform having deceived the people by
passing the Fuller statewide and other
drastic anti-liquor bills. The result is
distinct rebuke of the men who be-
trayed their constituents on this oues-
tion.
But the result also signifies that the
people of Alabama have at least become
tired of Comerism. 1t signifies a return
of that safe and sane sentiment which
builds states and makes for progress and
prosperity. 1t is ray of sunshine in the
sky which has been clouded ever since
Governor Conner came into official posi-
ton as a member of the state railroad
commission. The defeat of Conner marks.
undoubtedly, the decline of Conner and
all that element of politicians who have
been leaning upon him, including candi-
dates for governor. Congress and lower
offices
The fight against the amendments
most unnecessary and ill-advised propo-
$ition, submitted at great expense to the
people and when thousands were barred
from voting because of having failed to
pay their poll taxes in the off year
has been a hard one because of the un-
usual forces brought into the field to
champion its approval. but the people
were not to be hoodwinked into voting
away their liberties or to longer indorsins
the state administration. They knew the
statutes already in operation would give
Alabama all the prohibition that could be
enforced, and they were, 1t seems, de-
termined that the organic law should not
be clogged with a provision that would
stand for years. probably forever, as q
menace to the peace and prosperity of
the state.
The result yesterday means the states
redemption. not necessarily from prohibi-
bition, but fom Comerism, and that is q
victory of no little significance.

Prohibition Before CONGRESS

The leaders of the anti-saloon league
met in conference in Chicago last
Tuesday They did not have cheer
ing news from Alabama to spur them
on to new work in the states, and for
that or other reasons they resolved to
transfer their chief energies to the
national capital Their war cry this
winter is to be ON to Washington.
They will try to secure from Congress
legislation prohibiting the shipping of
intoxicants into prohibition states.
Constitutional questions as we'll as
revenue questions stand in their way.
The federal government has a deficit
as well as Alabama and proposition
to cut down the internal revenue
would not be popular.
But the chief obstacle in the way
relates to limitations upon interstate
shipments, and right there it is diff
cult to draw a constitutional line. Con-
gress has right to regulate interstate
shipments. This is set forth in Section
s, Article 1, of the federal constitution,
hut the right to regulate does not at
first sight appear to include a right to
prohibit commerce among the several
states" to use the words of the con-
stitution. The drawing of the line is
the chief difficulty the anti-saloon peo-
PIE will encounter in Washington.
The problem is largely new and
wholly INFESTED, and the anti-saloon
league surely has a sitter battle be-
fore it than it had even in Alabama
when it proposed to establish here
constitutional prohibition, for besides
the constitutional question it has the
result in this state to explain away
This cannot readily be done.

| of animals, whereas cash awaits the
cotton farmer as soon as his cotton is
picked and baled.
Wheat has showed hay down to
fourth place. This is largely due to
the fact that wheat is worth well nigh
| 81 a bushel on the farm. Not since
1881 has such a farm price for wheat
been known.
The crops are larger this year than
the f1ve-year average, except cotton,
fiaxseed, hops and cane sugar. These
crops are smaller but their value this
year to the farmer is far above the
flye-year average.
Secretary Wilson congratulates the
farmers alike on the years produc-
ton and also on the demonstrated
fact that the soils of the country are
not wearing out" On the contrary,
the average yields to the acre have
shown decided tendency to increase
for the last 40 years. So far as can
be observed cases of failure on the
farm are due to individual neglect or
misjudgment not incident to the soil
itself. With regard to abandoned farms
in the eastern states 1t is stated that
the idea that the soils have become
exhausted is mistaken one, and the
suggestion is made that an increasing
production can be brought back
through a change in farm manage
ment and the infusion of new and ac
tive blood in rural communities.

DuDleX Steel Process

The rumor got abroad that Mr.
Schwab visited this district recently
because Cuban ores in which he is
largely interested can soon be
brought here on an Open Warrior to
great advantage, but it is known that
he came mere to study the workings OF
the duplex process in the manufac'
ture of steel.
The duplex process aims to elimi-
nate scrap. 1t aspires to an all-pig
charge. With scrap at SIS, the cost of
making pig iron at $14, and the cost
of blowing the furnace metal at 81, a
lalf pig and half scrap charge, says
the Iron Trade Review, would cost an
average of SIG. Duplexing in the
south, says the same journal, is al
most a necessity because scrap is
scarce and high-priced.
cat the present time" says the Re-
view, several important steel inter-
ests in the north are carefully con-
sidering the duplex process and the
prospect is that more than one Of them
will definitely adopt it for large part
of their production. The merits OF
the process have even been canvassed
for the Gary plant although no au-
thoritative statement has been made
that its adoption has yet been seri-
ously considered
