Saturday Miss Mary Anderson, the
interesting little daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Anderson was ten years
old and the event was prettily cele-
brated at her home on Delaware
avenue by a company of playmates.
Out beneath the trees mammoth
pile of gayly colored autumn leaves
had been piled, and at the tough OF
a match the merrymakers gathered
around to toast marshmallows. When
these delicious sweets had been ex-
hausted jack c'lanterns blinked at
them from dusky corners. In the CEN
ter OF the table spread with tempt
ing dainttes was a pumpkin holding
ten yellow candles and circled with
a wreath of yellow chrysanthemums
Childish games made the closing
hours of the afternoon most happy
one, and the gracious welcome ac.
corded the little folk was reward
ed by many pretty remembrances.
There were eighteen present.

General Wood.

The elevation OF General Leonard
Wood to be chief of staff OF
the regular army is arousing the
expected protest from the men
who have been skipped. Cen
eral Wood has had wonderful army
career and has been jumped over the
heads of older officers at a rate CAL
culated to make them sit up and take
notice, but yc are led to believe that
his promotion has always been for the
best good of the service. His work III
each new position has proven the Wis
dom of his promotion.
General Wood entered the army as a
lieutenant and assistant surgeon in
1886 and in 1891 was advanced to the
rank of captain. In May. 1898, he
was appointed colonel of the first
cavalry, United States Volunteers, or
Rough Riders" Since then he has
risen rapidly, by the following steps:
July s. 1898. promoted to be brig
adler general for services at Las
Guasimas and San Juan Hill.
Dec Z, 1898, promoted to be major
general, United States Volunteers.
April 10, 1898, honorably dischar-
ed from the volunteers organized to
meet the emergency of the Spanish
American war, and the same day re-
appointed to the special organiza-
ton of volunteers necessitated by the
Philippine uprising, as brigadier
general.
Dec. 5, 1899, made major general
of volunteers.
Feb. 4. 1901. appointed brigadier
general, United States Army.
Aug. s, 1903. appointed major gen.
eral, United States Army.
He will be but 40 years of age when
he becomes chief Of staff and still has
many years of usefulness. Such pro-
motions may be all wrong. 1t may be
that personal friendship and political
pull have played some part in secur-
ing this wonderful career for man
who was not originally trained in mill
tary life, but it is certain that the
army has been greatly benefited by
the upheaval which resulted

Conservatism In Rural Voters

An analysis of the vote of Ala bama," says the Ledger of this city, in the past will show that the farm CT of Alabama is conservative when it comes to changing the organic law. In every instance the Alabama rural vote has been recorded against pro posed changes of the constitution. When the good roads amendment was ratified last year the farmers, peculiar as it may appear. voted against the amendment. The vote in the towns and cities ratified the Overton amend ment This is surprising, inasmuch as the farmer is the direct beneficiary of good roads,"
 How then can the Ledger reason ably expect the farmers of Alabama, conservative to the core, to vote for an amendment that is in part super fluous and in part of disputed and doubtfully dangerous meaning? No two lawyers agree over the possibil- ities shut up in section 2, and all konw that section 1 would not and could not outrun the Fuller bill.
 Conservative men who voted for the constitution of 1907 will not tinker it without reason. They will hesitate long before they will agree to amend it at all. The Ledger is wholly cor rect when it says the Alabama rural voters have in every instance voted against proposed changes in the con stitution that they adopted in 1901. They prefer to have the work they did in 1901 stand until a new consti- tutional convention is called. They see more progress and less unrest in this course.
 Assuredly the conservative farmers will oppose the incorporation in the constitution of police regulations when the state already has statewide pro- hibition of drastic nature, and when the second section of the proposed amendment is of doubtful nature, open to dispute, and containing grave pos abilities of attack upon every mans homo
