Banker MOrSe'S Complaint

No one feels the halter draw with good opinion of the law, and when Banker Morse was carried to the At lanta penitentiary he said he was in- nocent of wrong-doing and was con- victed by drunken jury.
 The court before whom he was tried investigated the latter charge and it found that the jurymen were suffici- ently temperate to keep cool heads in the jury room In New York jurymen are not required to ride on the water wagons
 The truth is, Morse thinks he should not have been convicted because his intentions were good. That sort of plea will not, however. answer, for if 1t were good almost any criminal would go free. Morse controlled na- tional bank, and he used its funds, which were the funds of other people, in plain violation of the national bank acts His offenses were numerous and really beyond dispute. He played fast and loose with the banks funds in the promotion of his rash consolidation schemes, and he violated the law re- peatedly. He was tried on few in dictments only. The justice of his con- viction is simply beyond question, and all Morse could truthfully say is that hundreds of Wall street magnates should bear him company inside peni- tentiary walls. There was no miscar- riage of justice in the Morse case. To say that he should not be punished would simply be to say that rich man should not be sent to jail. but the country is not prepared to say that the jail Is for the poor only.

The Cotton Market.

"A decline of about s6. 40 bale in two days and an advance of about s4 bale in the last two hours of the session to- day. is certainly enough activity for the average trader in cotton said John A. Caldwell last night.
 Ut points to one fact well established, namely, that in highly speculative mar kets, where only one idea became so emil nently predominant, and, we might say, universally wide, cotton was compelled to go on to higher levels. Easing its opera tons on this theory a speculative long in- terest of great proportions had been built up. Shoestring traders have pyramided fairly good fortunes (on paper profits). Just few rich professionals canvassed the situation, and by shrewd market man. euvers started a worldwide liquidation. They caught the pyramids inverting one by one, until such momentum was soon under way on the selling side that not enough brokers could be found. even if they were so disposed. with buying or ders to check the tide, and liquidation of drastic nature had to spend it's force.
 Due to some professional short cover ing and some of the larger bulls in the south entering the market, the tide was finally turned-at least for the moment. The advance today from the lowest was little too rapid. but in view of an ex- pected bullish report on Monday next, 1t would appear to be wise to take on con- tracts with moderate recessfons, which will, no doubt, occur between now and Monday. The fact that spot cotton does not follow the decline in futures shows that department. But from the way con- tracts have changed hands within the last few days there is no evidence that we are approaching an exhaustion in that di- rection-''

But here's the Joy, my friend and
 are one. Sonnet.
Severe Cold Wave Coming

The weather is exceedingly eccen- tric and complex this year. Low tenn peratures are still bred at Prince Al bert, Saskatchewan, in the British north west, but instead of drifting eastward along the great lakes these low tenn peratures of Prince Albert are in- clined to drop isotherms to the gulf. One such isotherm is now engaged in curving from the gulf district north eastward, and 1t is billed to pass through Alabama today bringing. cold weather in it's wake.
 The chances are, however, very good that the fall in temperature here will not be equal to the cold waves of December and that the entire effects of the latest Prince Albert isotherm will be dissipated in a couple of days. But this is the season of the year that ordinarily produces the intensest cold waves, and possibly Prince Albert's pending effort may prove severer than some of us predict !.

WOMEN IN ENGLAND

The independence of the Englishwoman she has good share in the national gov ernment and a great freedom of action. All the political societies have women branches. Many notable women, single and married. take such large share in affairs that they find secretaries necessary. women seems to be enormous. hear of it by way of advice: You have only got to know Lady -. or Miss - and you are right with that party" and by way of warning: Don't accept an invi- tation from Ca well known society hostess). You will leave your principles at her dinner table" As to her freedom of life, the Englishwoman seems to be able, if she chooses, to live a bachelor life in a flat sans peur ct sans reproche. If her fancy leads her, she takes to profession. or even. to athletics. I have met an Englishwoman of fortune whose ambition is to climb all the Alps of the world. She had come to Australia from New Zealand. where she had found the great mountains a little disappoint- ing. Particulars as 10 the Australian Alps met with the contemptuous sum- ming up that they were just hills" and the lady turned her face toward the Andes She travelled without a chap eron, organized her own trips and seemed to take the curiously independent life quite naturally.

Congressman Underwood Next Week

During the coming week Congress man Underwood will lead the demo crats in the House Congressman Champ Clark has been called home, and he desired MT. Underwood to take his place as minority leader.
 It is a credit to this city and dis trict that it furnishes a democratic leader, both in the ways and means committee and on the floor of the House. MT. Underwood's high char. acter and his acknowledged ability as a parliamentarian and his skill as a debater render him one of the com ing men of the House whenever it has a democratic majority. The promotion of Mir Clark to the speakership and of MT. Underwood to the chairmanship of the ways and means, the chief commit tee of the house, would then be as- sured.
 No man can acquire influence and strength in either House suddenly A mans personality must be felt in the committee room before influence and weight come to him. MT. Underwood is now one of the veterans of the House. and he is reaping the rewards of years of patient labor and skillful leadership.

IN HOTEL LOBBlES
Auuusta's New Mayor.

ihomas Barrett, Jr, who became the mayor of Augusta, Ga, last Monday
 has the distinction of being the only man elected to that office in my day without opposition" said B. c. Tobin, a former citizen of Augusta. Tt was a case of the office seeking the man. MT. Bar rett is noted for his public spirit and his civic ardor and as he is exceptional iy well equipped for administering mu- nicipal affairs 1t was but natural that the people hailed his Inauguration with gem uine enthusiasm. The Chronicle of Tues day contained a lengthy double column editorial headed, "The New Mayor of Au- gusta-By Unanimous Consent in which 1t said: No man ever went into the mayoralty of Augusta, or of any city, with more of the individual support, more of the good will and more of the absolute confidence of the people than does Mayor Thomas Barrett, Jr., whose three years term as the chief executive of the city of Augusta began with his inauguration at noon yesterday. The Chronicle, in common with the people of Augusta generally. can but consider it an suspicious occasion when the reins of our local government were placed in the hands of a man of Mayor Barretts in tegrity and ability; a man who not only owes his elevation to this office to no man nor faction, but whose public ser- vice, in the very nature of things, is without selfish or political motive.

 Jim was everybody's friend and ev- erybody loved him.
 For 12 years he has been In Con- gress representing Georgia district, He was unanimously chosen chairman of the democratic congressional com mittee and for the democrats managed two congressional campaigns. He was in line for the speakership, and for the senatorship from Georgia in the event of a vacancy.
 He had had every honor in success sion that the people of Georgia could confer upon him. Had he lived there would have been many other honors for him.
 An able, conscientious man he was who never had to say bitter word to win, but won upon his own merits in the fair, and went forward until claimed for another existence.

A YEAR OF FLIGHT.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 Man can now fly.
 In the year just ended more than 5000 miles were travelled in the air in heavier than-air machines-not by one aviator but by scores of them, not in one type of craft but in a dozen of them.
 Seven closely printed pages of the new World Almanac are required to summar- ize in the briefest possible form last years aerial achievements.
 This year too. opens auspiciously for air navigation. The first days papers tell of Farman in biplane making 431z miles across country in France and of Hamilton in Missouri travelling eight miles, Hardly a week passes that some new aviator in some new section does not spring into prominence by an aerial feat.
 Seven years ago no body could fly, and hardly anybody but the Wrights thought it possibility. As recently as last fall no one was able to win the Worlds $10000 prize for a flight from New York to AL bany. Now, with this prize open until Oc- tober 1o 1910. there is every prospect that 1t will be won.
 The year 19O9's aeronautic achievements have demonstrated that air travel is not only possible but practical for most of mankind, that the aeroplane is a commer- cial practicability and a military necessi- ty, and that the air at last is really con- uttered.

FLOATING TELESCOPE.
m the National Magazine.

From the National Magazine.
 At the Harvard University observatory a gigantic telescope floats in tank of water. It is one of the largest in the world, the reflecting mirror being five feet wide. Mounted on water-tight cylindri- cal steel float. the telescope swings in a concrete tank full of water, only slightly larger than the cylinder, which Is de- signed to fit 1t closely and serve as pivot for the telescope, instead of having it mounted on a solid base. Machinery at each side holds and guides 1t. The water bears the weight, and the movements of the telescope are regulated by tiny electric motors; the gigantic mirror can be easily removed and resilvered when it grows dim, although two tons are indicated when 1t is placed on the scales. Through this telescope stars of the sixteenth and eighteenth magnitude are revealed, and 1t seems to penetrate into the very abysses of the heavens. While the in strument is mounted in the open air, the image is reflected to an eye-piece, in an adjoining building, where the astronomer sits and makes calculations in winch mil- lions of miles are dealt with as indiffer- ently as the simplest sums in ordinary bookkeeping.
 The first look through a great telescope is disappointing, but the novice soon sees that the flat appearance which the heavens present to the naked eye Is re- placed by a curious concavity; the moon and stars seem to be hung in space rather than spread out on flat surface. For a moment one feels at the telescope like child watching the swift-moving balls kept in the air by juggler, and expect ing to see one of these great. bright bodies fall. Then comes the thought: What keeps them there, apparently suspended in space with absolutely nothing to hold them firm?' The explanation of the learned astronomer causes the brain of the layman to whirl, and he sees himself, perhaps for the first time, as a child gath ering pebbles on the great shores of the sea of knowledge, or as Ian infant cry ing in the night; an infant crying for the light-and with no language but a cry"
