Birmingham has had it's share of con- ventions this week and there are more coming" said a member of the Con- mereial club. T am glad to know that the visitors here this week have been so well pleased with their treatment, and that the city has been able to take care of them in such excellent style. The Presbyterian laymens conference has brought 1900 visitors to the city. The Nebraska Lumber Dealers association 65 strong has spent day here. The Ala bama Dairymen's association brought probably 50 to the city and the meeting of the executive committee of the Alabama Bankers association did not bring large number, but they are men of such influence that their visits are always important.
 The meeting of the Methodist laymen will not bring such a crowd as did the Presbyterians because it embraces only the north Alabama conference, but it will bring class of men such as Birmingham is always proud to entertain.

Deep Flowing for Corn

The Williamson method of raising corn is based upon a deep furrow. The seed is placed at the bottom of the furrow and the soil is thrown on the roots of the plant as it grows. This, together with intelligent fertil- ization, has tripled the yield of corn per acre wherever it has been tried
 And yet it is said the department of agriculture is inclined to question and discredit the Williamson method How it can consistently do so and at the same time advocate blowing a foot deep it is difficult to understand The Williamson method calls for dee, blowing and the department of agri- culture should for consistency's sake support and indorse it.
 But whether 1t does or not the Will Hanson method will be thoroughly tested in the south where a larger corn production is sorely needed. The

LeSe MaieSte In America

Disguise it as we may lese majeste as it exists in Germany has been transplanted and is in full bloom in Washington. Seven men and corpor- ations have been indicted in Washing ton. in federal courts, for offenses committed if at all, in distant New York or in still more distant Indian apolis. It is not claimed that the offenses were primarily committed in Washington, but it is proposed to punish the offenders under an old Maryland star chamber statute sim ply because they cannot be punished in the courts of New York and Indiana.
 If the indicted can be convicted in this unprecedented manner then indeed no newspaper is secure against assault by the federal administration repre- senting all the powers of the govern ment. This puts the average news paper man at great disadvantage, for a contest between the average man and the government is not one in which the parties are evenly matched.
 But this is what the new crime of lese majeste has brought us to. Theo- dore Roosevelt and William Nelson Cromwell demand the application of it to severe offenders, and if they sue ceed lese majeste will be as we'll es- tablished in this country as it long has been under the present Kaiser in Germany A free press will then be a press with the fear of a contest with the government constantly before it. This is what we have come to at last in the reign of Theodore I and the backstairs work of William Nelson Cromwell.

Congress to Meet In Extra Session

The extra session of Congress is to ebe convened on March 15, the third Monday of that eyentful month. The President-elect has authorized the an nouncement, after conferring with Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon, autocrats in the two houses.
 The extra session is not to be a short-lived affair. It bids fair to last all summer and to be the occasion of much politics and much scramb- ling for fayors. The interests will be alert when a new tariff is prepared. Instead of a Dingley tariff we gre to have a Paine tariff, and the coun- try lacks confidence that the latter will be materially better than the former.
 Ire new administration will begin . york comfortably in harness be- fore the session is ended. and alto gether the pe,iod to be covered 3y it will be very political and very in teresting. There w'll be nothing tame about the extra session.
