Tariff Troubles h Three Countries

There are still many points of dlf- ference between shis country and Ger many, Canada and France. Our trade with each one of the three countries is large, and yet unless all contentious can be negotiated out by March 31, tariff wars may spring up in some oi these countries. In Germany it may he voded, because the questions in dis pute except three and negotiations are progressing concerning these. The American meat exporters are at the bottom of remaining tariff troubles in Germany.
 We have gone along in our auto- cratic way and now we find that other countries can be autocratic also. Ger many has maximum duties as we'll as ihis country. So has France and pre- tumably Canada.
 | What the administration proposes to 10 about rates in Germany, Canada and France is not accurately known, but President Taft has no discretion If when March s1 comes there is in either tne of the three countries any dis illuminating duties or regulations bgsinst American products. He must In that case put into effect ma aximum autfes and that means a tarifr war ind the meat trust will be at the bot lom of our most serious tarif troubles

THOUSANDS OF MEN
 IN THE NAVY DO NOT
 KNOW HOW TO SWIM

Washington, February 6.-Attention is directed In an official report by Rear Ad miral Schroeder, in command of the At lantic fleet, now engaged in practice man euvers in Guantanamo bay, Cuba, to the remarkable fact that more than 25e0 men in the fleet cannot swim In a brief re- port of the fleets operations during the last week made by Admiral Schroeder by wireless to the navy department, the commander says instruction classes were held for the men, who are now at home in the water. During the week a regi- ment, consisting of the landing forces of the Georgia, New Jersey, Nebraska and Rhode Island, was encamped on Deer Point.
 Rife and pistol practice and various drills were held. High scores were made in the small arm practice and battalions were exercised at wall sealing.
 On Wednesday afternoon the First, Sec
 d, Fourth and Marine regiments were given a practice march across country, with the idea of concentrating and re- polling a supposed attack at a designated point On Thursday afternoon the fleet went to sea, where battle evolutions were continued until Friday evening, when an chor again was dropped in Guantanamo bay.
 On Saturday the crews indulged in base ball and other athletic sports. Admiral Schroeder reports that the practice work Is progressing satisfactorily and that the spirit of the men Is excellent.

Control of Water PoWsr

Switzerland is rich in white coal fin mountain streams, that is to say. --and the controifof her water powers 5 wisely kept in the hands of her na- bonsl government. The federal consti- Sution was amended in October, 1908 to as to give the federal government complete control of water power de- telopment. The railroads have long Selonged to the government.
 A commission has been appointed by he government and that commission n . busily engaged in making plans tor he immediate development of 1,0o0,- too horsepower from the mountain treams Even country roads are to be hghted by electricity and home indus kies are to be promoted by carrying Electrical power to the homes of work : trs.

The end crowns all,
Dsnisens of tho Bafnyard

there were in the year 1900. a cen bus year. e50,62S,114 hens in the eoun- sx. CT about three to every man, wom- an and child in it. These hens laid each year 1,2SS, ss2, ,4ss dozen eggs, or about l5 dozen per capita. The value Of their product is put d s7Oo,o0o,eoo . year.
 No doubt the census figures of this Sesr win carry these great aggregates atnl higher, and the industrious hen may yet stand forth as the chief source ef national wealth in the country, alstancinv even the cotton patches or the wheat fields.
 It is unfortunate that cold storage Is coming in between the hen and the consumer. Cold storage enables the ppeculator to buy eggs when they are sheap and to hold them until they are both dear and stale. Were it not for sold storage, eggs would almost nec- sssarily be carried to the consumer in fresh condition and at satisfactory prices. II is unnecessary to add that gold storage is creation and adjunct of the trusts.
 There is no part of the country that does not consider hens desirable and profitable. The multiplication of this patient friend of the human race is, in fact, leading to larger fowls, and better layers and profits keep pace with these changes. The production of poultry is. in fact, one of the mar sols of a great country.

WANTS PLACE TO SLEEP
Fred Robinson Seeks Food and Shelter
 at Chief of Police's office

Brother, I'm mighty cold; I'm down and out. Can you give me place to sleep?" With no overcoat, no gloves. an old pair of shoes. and doubtless q hungry stomach, man who said his name was Fred Robinson, wanoerau into the office of the chief of police at 12:s0 this morning. With teeth chattering from cold, he asked tho sergeant If he could not give him 8 place somewhere to sleep and get warm. He said he had been to the Sal vation Army and every place where he was liable to get lodging, but they were all full.
 Sergeant Donelson, at the police h eadquarters, could not give the man a place to sleep because it was against the rules of the department. He told the man to wait until Captain Hagood came and perhaps something could be done for him. Robinson picked up his little grip of tools, the last things he had in the world, and retprned to the alley in front of the Jail warden's office to watch for the captain.
 Robinson said he was piano and organ tuner and a clock repairer. He was unable to get enough work to sup port him and at last was forced to beg. He talked and acted as gentleman.

ADVICE TO A CONTEMPORARY

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 The Selma Times Is much disturbed over the fact that the Advertiser. The Age Herald and the Register have all come out for MT. O'Neal for the gu- bernatorial nomination. In it's effort to minimize the importance of that fact it says of the Advertisers eli- torial:
 Its frankness would be laudible if it were not brutal and its candor would be commendable if it were not :ruel.'
 Now, the Advertiser has started out to keep cool in this campaign. It does not want to get into a strenuous fight. It would like very much to see the newspaper friends of Mir. Mall lory make up th cir minds to follow the same policy. Therefore. we warn the Times not to get hot in the collar so early in the game. It is liable to stir up hornets nest before it knows 1t. It's criticism of its contemporaries is exceedingly vulnerable. For ia- tance, it speaks of Mir. ONeal h connection with Mobile affairs thus: The Mobile Register, naturally | through its environment, takes the man less likely to disturb the tram quill conditions which even the pres- snt radical executive through his ap- ,ointee as sheriff. despite all the bluff and buster of both, cannot ,nspge.'
 | The question naturally suggests it. self as to how MT, Mallory as chief executive could or would handle the tranquil condition of Mobile? Does theN, Times mean to imply that his brain and boldness would accomplish more than the blufr and buster oi the present officials? Would his fgh, for the amendment put him into [ position to be more effective than tho executive who conceived the amend ment? Does the Times mean tha, MT. Mallory is going to out-herod Herod? What new ideas of enforcing the law in Mobile, or elsewhere, has Ar Mallory patented? Is he to bs more strenuous than Governor Conner;
 The Times may well be worried over the fact that the three leading morn. ing dailies of the state are for MT ONeal. They led the people of Ala.
 barna in their revolt against radical. ism, and very properly they stand to.
 gether now in their advice to ths state Tn the support of a man who promptly, couragcously and effective
 ly stood with them at time wher the prospect of their course was-no |, SO bright.

O,NEAL.s CANDIDACY

From the Walker County News.
 That was remarkable gathering of Emmet O'Neals friends which met at Birmingham Wednesday. It was spon- taneous answer to . quick call made upon all parts of the state for friends to meet and confer in regard to this distinguished Alabamian's candidacy for gubernatorial honors.
 The result of the meeting was to put we'll under way the matter of organiza- ton, which will be thoroughly effected within the next few days.
 Following this conference yesterday came the announcement of the three big morning dailies of tho state to-wit: the Birmingham Ase-Herald, the Montsom- cry Advertiser and the Mobile Register, that they indorsed O'Nears candidacy.
 These things, all occurring within 4S hours, portend to the success of the gentleman from I4auderdaie ana well-nigIl give perfect assurance that he will be the next governor of Alabama.

of the Outlook thus presents the sit
 uation in Switzerland in contrast with
 The situation in this country; ''Ine white coal of Switzerland is not being exploited by private capital for private gain. as is the case with Niagara, the Susqueha ma and the mountain streams of the Rockies and the Pacific slope. It is being developed by the state tor all the people. This is the great d'f- ference between the Swiss democracy and our own. Privilege has but lit- tie standing in Switzerland, less stand ing than anywhere else in the world. Big business men do not control the politics of the country for the sake of business. They do not make the tar if laws, the taxing laws or the fran chise regulations. Nor do they own the railways and the public service corpor- etions. These enterprises are a part of the state and serve the people, just as do the army and the public sch hools. Here the rights of property seem to be subordinate to the rights of hu- inanity. Property is compelled to serve instead of being permitted to rule"

SOMETHING ABOUT UGANDA

E. M. Newman in the World Today for
 February
 | N that part of British East Africa
 which the Roosevelt party has al- \ ready explored, the mornings are de- lightfully cool and tho nights cold, and. with the exception of the heats in mid day, one may enjoy comparative comfort as far as climate is concerned. But in the valley of the Nile the intense heat will not permit the expedition to do much walking during daylight, and most of the long tramps will have to be made at night. Guided by torch bearers, they will have wade through swamps and tan- gled underbrush inhabitated by croco- diles and hippopotami, If, according to his own statements, his experiences have been exciting in British East Africa, MT. Roosevelt will find that what he has gone through will be tame compared with a trip through the jungles of uganda.
 No one will deny that the ex-President Is brave man, and no one will doubt his ability to complete successfully his jour ney to Gondokoro. on the border of the Soudan, where boats will be provided for the rest of the river journey to khar- toum, and the Roosevelt expedition will undoubtedly be broken up there and pro- eeed by fast express to Cairo. If fortune favors the ex-President, and none of his party fall victims to the manifold dangers which they will encounter in Uganda, the trip will afford glorious opportunities to see nature at it's best. Uganda is a coun- try of beautiful flowers, tropical foliage and luSuriant vegetation. Gay and bril- liant plumaged birds fly about in great numbers. Forest scenery unexcelled is distinctive feature of Uganda and walks through the charming woods are a con- tinual source of delight. The time will come when the advance of civilization. with the aid of science. will deliver Ugan- da from the presence of the pests which have claimed and are still claiming so many human lives. And when that time comes, no more alluring spot could be found to visit.
 The source of that great rlver the Nile, which, for untold centuries, has been the very life blood of Egypt, has been found vide food for millions of people, but be- fore this is possible, great amount of work will be necessary. Hundreds, per- haps thousands, Of miles of swemps will have to be cleared, the bush which sus. tains the life of the tsetse fly must be

Long Control of Congress

Not since 1892, IS years ago, have ihe democrats controlled both houses of Congress. The republicans have ever since been in control of Con- gress. The democrats had control in the Fifty-third Congress and the pres ent Congress is the Sixty second. So long control is unusual and there are many signs that it will be checked and changed so far as the House of Representatives in concerned next fall.
 It is indeed difficult to say when the democrats will again control both houses, as they did in 1892 when Gro yer Cleveland was for the second time elected President. Between the Aldrich tariff and the oppression of the trusts the republican party is coming to a sea of troubles, and it is indeed doubt full whether anything can be done to change the course of affairs.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES.
In virginia and Elsewhere

1.-The Virginia legislature is to be the
 scene of a great fight on the statewide prohibition question: said Alexander J. Mitchell of Washington, D. C. T was
 in Richmond last Thursday and It was
 understood that Senator Strode would m
 troduce within the next few days-hoe
 later than Monday-the Antl-saiooh
 leagues bill seeking to submit a referen-
 dunn to the people on the question or
 whether the state as state should be
 wet or dry. I have talked with many
 Virginians within the past two Weeks'
 and while it is known that the state
 wide prohibitionists are quite strong u
 is felt that their measure will be deteat-
 ed in the legislature. The enabling clause
 of the bill provides that on peutioh
 signed by 25,000 voters an election small
 be ordered to decide the statewide propo- sition.
 sRiohmond has an enormous liquor traf- fic. it's shipping trade reaching a large southern territory. Norfolk comes next to Richmond as liquor center, and It can be readily imagined that the liberai- minded business men of those two cities are very much disturbed over the pres- ent agitation.
 '.If the statewide movement had been preciptated in Virginia two or three years ago it would have resulted in victory for the antis: but the wave of drastic pro hibition is unauestionably receding, and l will be very much surprised if the large cities of Virginia ever have to give up the whisky business or close their beer agencies. The crushing defeat of consti- tutionsl prohibition in Alabama last No- venber has had a far-reaehing effect was in Montgomery last October, and 1 recall the fact that the advocates of the measure to write ultra prohibition in the organic law urged as an argument that the defeat of the proposed amendment would be a blow to the Anti-Saloon league throughout the United States. And 1t has turned out that way. If the Anti-Saloon leagtie had been content to push its work along local option lines it might have continued to extend dry territory, es- pecially in rural districts of the south, where negroes are found in large num- bers But going to extremes as the anti-- saloon leaders have done. the prohibition cause as a whole has suffered greatly. X year ago 1t would have been safe bet that the people of Florida would have voted in favor of the prohibition amend- ment which has been pending in that state for more than q year. But l met well-informed man from Jacksonville q day or two ago and he told ne that the de feat Of the amendment was now fore gone conclusion. The election takes place next November. And so it goes.

 As yet there are no railways in ugar although a line is in contemplation WI will connect Lake Victoria Nyanza

Exploiting Natural Resources

Exploiting Natural Resources
 Golfers attractive southern number of week before last did more to adver- tise this great section from an agri- cultural viewpoint than almost any year or two. That one article by the Iowa farmer who had personally vis- lted every state in the south, and who unhesitatingly emphasized the natural advantages of the south over the north- west with it's long. severe winters, will result eventually in many homeseekers turning this way. As the Iowa man pointed out, the amount Of energy and intelligence expended in tilling the soil in the gulf states that the farmer in the north and west expends on his land would yield far better returns.
 The farmers of the west and the northwest have grown rich, but had they been in the south they would have been even more prosperous. The Gulf States Banker in an article in it's Feb ruary number, just received, says:
 "B F. Yoakum, chairman of the execu- tive committee of the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad. in recent discussion of the south and the southwest, said there was no question but that the resources of this section were greater than those of the northwest, but that the develop ment here had been slower and that the progress was necessarily not so marked Lack of exploitation along lines calculated te bring about the best results was the cause of the difference, he said, and in many respects the south and southwest had been somewhat derelict in their duty when it came to making capital of the wonderful natural equipment to which they had fallen heir.
 Coming from man like Mir Yoakum these statements are bound to attract wide attention and comment. Being prac- tically at the head of an immense rail- road system, the interests of which are being rapidly extended in the south, Mir. Yoakum has taken every opportunity to study the southern situation and his sug- gestion that the south and southwest im- mediately give themselves over to the aggressive exploitation and development that the northwest used with such good advantage is one in which every south erner who is for progress will readily acquiesce.
 'The south and southwest have been tardy about taking advantage of their wonderful resources, but they have begun to see lne error ol tnelr ways ana already the improvement is marked. But there is much more to be done, and if the south and southwest are to come into their own the existing opportunities must be taken advantage of. The impression that this | particular section of the United States is | the coming west is rapidly gaining
 ground and the progress of the last few wears fully evinces the careful observer | on this point"
 l What is needed now is an organized
 movement. well directed, to follow up the
 recent advertising of the sout.. as the | most fertile part of the country A we.-
 equipped and progressive immigration agency for Alabama would surely pay.

None of them, how ever, was badly injured.
