A WORD FOR THE WORKERS.

In the general joy over the over whelming defeat of dangerous meas ure, the tribute of a thought at least should be paid to the faithful fight CTS, who for the three months cam paign filled their places in the trenches, in the thickest of the fight, the managers, State and county. who gave themselves up to this fight and were the sub jects of so much abuse In a particularly venomous campaign. These workers out of the spectacular part of the fight, hearing no applause and no approval. but subjected to abuse. should not in the hour of vic- tory, be forgotten.
 The victorious forces owe it to Man ager J. Lee Long, Major R. E. Stein CT and Leon McCord to remember that sacrifices were made to secure the victory, that labor was freely given, night and day and that they bore the brunt of bitter personal assaults. These men for the part they took In the campaign sacrificed valued friend ships and severed associations of many years standing.
 To the men who assisted them In the deadening and exhaustive detail routine work of a long and arduous campaign there should be given word of recognition and appreciation, It is only justice that the voters of Alabama who are rejoicing in the great victory should remember the work of Judge s. Williams. Walter shafer. Jack StalIings. Edward Con- molly and others who worked labor iously at desks for the success of the cause.
 Their own people should remember the splendid fight put up by the ! chairmen in the various counties. They too, among their neighbors had to suffer for the stand they took

WORLDS GREAT HARVEST.
Present Year Has Established the Hig r Record for Wheat.

TErscnt rear Hos Establfsneu the hi8n
 Record for Wheat. New. York Evening Post.
 The Liverpool estimate of Broomhall on the whole worlds wheat crop of 1909, perhaps the most important of the hand this week. It shows the present year to have established an absolute high record m wheat output. The B. S46,966,000 bushels named as the world s total compared with 3,063.2So.006 In .l90S, an increase of 9 IA per cent. Compared with the 3,226. .7ss,0eo bush- els of 1906 the previous record, the in- crease Is 5-S per cent; compared with sthe year of scarcity, 1907, 1t is 15 per cent
 Two continents exceed all preceding records with their wheat productions America and Europe. America, North and South, gains 77,712,000 bushels over last year. which was the previous re- bushels beyond 1908 and surpasses the previous high record that of 1906. by 21.l60.000. Every important wheat growing country of the world shows in- crease over the previous year except Austria Hungary, Germany and Spain. Russias harvest runs 6S,S00,000 bush- els beyond its previous high record. b Canada shows up 24.000,000 bushels above It's best previous yield. The English harvest Is the largest since 1899, and with that exception the larg- est since 1892. though it is highly in- teresting to observe that it's 64,000, ,000- these encouraging comparisons, is still less than half the 10000, 900 -bustei harvest of 1855. which has never since been euualled.

 The best advice to give to . young man is very old and very simple. Get knowledge and understanding.

Some opportunity will come at some time to every man. Then 1t depends upon himself and upon what he shall have made of himself what he makes of 1t and what 1t will make of him.

What are they to dor By that time our mineral, resources win have been SO nearly exhausted that the industries related to them must fall into a minor place. By that time 1t is apparent that our dream of conquest of world mark cts will be a bubble. It Is a mathemati- cal fact that within twenty years under present conditions our wheat crop will not be sufficient for home consumption and seed, without leaving a bushel for export. Let us be warn ed in time. The Government should establish a small model farm on its own land in every rural congressional district, later perhaps in every coun- ty in the agricultural States. Let the Department of Agriculture show ex- actly what can be done on a small tract of land by proper cultivation. moderate fertilizing and due rotation of crops Only thus may a multiply ing population secure its permanent maintenance. Only thus may the strug gle for existence that has power to either curse or bless be brought to any other termination than the peace Of death.
 The development of the American Northwest may be compressed into the period of single human life. It has affected more widely and will fn- fiuence more profoundly the past and the future than many events which the historian sets up as landmarks in the evolution of the race. It has opened opportunity for increase of material wealth. and for the unfold ing of human progress. It Is there that the problems which have silenced the older nations, the evolution as yet unaecomplished, must be worked out Nowhere else Is there more energy or more courage to join with with great issues that promise success.

The statement has been made that thirteen men died in New York city of starvation on Thanksgiving day. This may or may not be strictly true, and if it is true is 1t not reasonable to suppose that many more women and children starved than there were men? And if these thirteen men ac- tually died of starvation on a day when so many were feasting and en- toying themselves. where does the blame lie? Both men and women not infrequently suffer from want In a crowded city because a feeling of false pride keeps them from making their needs known to those who would willingly help them. If the account is true it is a sad story, but where the blame lies Is quite another mat ter.

SHE TALKS SENSE.

"depior- ing the fact that so many women are taking mems places in office and shop is amusing. Why don't the men mar ry us and keep business for them selves? If you have the notion that women prefer banging typewriters or pushing sewing machines or selling goods over the counter to making homes for. loving husbands and pratt ting children. why then you are goose of man and very unobserv- ing. editor All this thlk, about the modern desire of women to be fnde- pendent is absurd.

If the girls and young women are taking mans work away from him in so many ways is it not large iy due to the fact that the men fail to do their duty? To quote The Mus kogee Times-Democrat on the sub ject:
 Despite all the talk we hear of wo- mans desire to be economically or po- lfticaIly free, we each and every one of us know that no woman can ap- proach happiness and live unnatural iy; that dependency upon man IS wo- mans natural condition, and that the truly happy women of our acquaint- ance Is not made so by independence pends upon the loving care of her husband and in the splendid, natural order of things she Is able to support aether they stand for each other and fheir own Both are dependent, as matter of fact.

 aGirPs'' letter comprehends a real and serious problem. She has exag- oerated 1t, perhaps, but it's a big 5roblem just the same. If girls do not prefer typewriter banging to home-mak ing, 1t is probably also true that boys do not prefer restaurant hoard to home cooking.

 According to the statement of Mar tin V. Calvin, in letter to The Macon Telegraph. the people of the South have only some thirty-odd thousand more milch cows in 1909 than they of other kinds than they had in 1880. Yet in that time the population of tho Southern section has more than dou- bled. The figures presented by MT. Caivin-though we do not know their origin-are extremely interesting and instructive. It is not a showing credi- table to Southern intelligence or H. illustrative of the opportunities that the South has at hand.
 We have came to depend on the West for our hogs and sheep and cat tle Instead of raising hogs. we buy their--at exorbitant prices. Instead oi raising sheep or cattle, we buy them As we buy mules from Missouri and horses from Kentucky and poultry from Tennessee, SO we buy the others of these essentials of living and eat- ing. We have not learned to live with in and upon ourselves.
 We ought to raise our own hos meat and sheep meat and COW meat and chicken meat and we ought to produce our own milk supply. But this comparison made by MT. Calvin Is indicative of little If any progress in direction In which progress Is sorely needed.

Eggs from Shanghai has rather a queer sound. All of us have known of glass eggs and China eggs, but to get real genuine hens eggs from China is a new idea. and shows how intimate trade relations have become with foreign countries. and how the art of preserving perishable articles of food has grown. We used long time ago to get eggs from Shanghai chickens. as long as the fad lasted, but have not been in the habit of get ting them from Chinese port.
