Friend of the South
To Stay in Cabinet.

AS We expected, Secretary Wilson
does not intend to Immediately quit
the agricultural portfolio, where he
has sat continuously since President
Mckinley took the oath of office on
March 4, 1897. for the model farm in
Iowa where the secretary worked out
for himself the practical problems OF
modern husbandry.
The work of Secretary Wilson, great
and far.reaching as it already shows
itself to be, is not yet done. He is
the ablest secretary of agriculture this
country has ever had, and he is at the
moment actively engaged in certain re-
forms and developments of his bureau
that may not be entrusted to a younger
and less seasoned incumbent.
For the American farmer in general,
and for the Southern farmer in par
ticular. he has done much through his
steadfast and logical advocacy Of the
South's fine farming possibilities and
BY his earnest advice to people seek

DOING SOMETHING.

The Citizens League has not been
idle during the last week or ten days,
Jas some may suppose, They have dis.
cussed and adopted resolutions looiz-
ing TO some important reforms in the
city and will take steps, in due time,
to make their wishes formally known
to the city authorities.
Some inkling of what is wanted has
been given to the public. The sup
preston of honk-a-tonks or negro
dance halls conducted in connection
with saloons; the suppression of pub
lie gambling, of designation houses
and wine rooms also the enforce
ment Of the yagrant law against idlers
about dissomte resorts.
More recently the League has dis
cussed the question of open saloons
and of houses of i'll fame 1t is stated
that a demand will be made that sa-
looms shall be closed from II O'Clock
midnight till o'clock in the morning
every night The other matter relat.
ing to bad houses remains to be de.
termined, strong feeling being that
they should be removed from their
present location, in any event, be-
cause they are too conspicuous.
The League is composed of con
sentative. practical men who realize
that reform movements often spend
themselves in efforts to accomplish
everything at once, or more than is
practical under existing conditions,
and leave a community in a worse
plight than when they started. The
League il determined to accomplish
worth while ana that will
be lasting and it can be depended
upon to do so. It has the assurance
from the mayor that he viii cooper
