GALLAGHER.

Gallagher the man who shot Mayor
Gaynor last August. has been declared
sane by a board OF alienists, who have
subjected him TO thorough examina-
uon. He Is to be tried first for shoot
ing Big Bill" Edwards the Street
Cleaning Commissioner OF New York
City, and If he shall not be convicted
TOR that crime he will he tried later
for his attempt upon the life of Mr.
Gaynor. Gallagher is not nearly the
hero he expected TO he. He has had
no oners of marriage, so far as we
know. His cell III the Jail at IIoboken
has not been filled with floral offer
ings, and degenerate pctticoats have
not smothered him with thcir atten
tons He has not even the satisfaction
OF being q hero to himself. but the
dreary prospect OF long term OF mis-
cry IN the penitentiary. Jersey justice
is very apt to make Gallagher's pun
ishment Mt Gallagher's crime.

BIGGER THAN p,,n1yct,,n

Dr. Andrew Woodson, n well-known
Alanamian, has lately returned to Biz
mingham from Richmond. and had
some pleasant things to say a bout this
city to tho Birmingham Age-Herald
He declared to a representative OF our
contemporary:
Richmond Is 4 splendid city. It Is
now growing at fast rate, and If It
had extended It's limits so as to In
clude Barton Heights and other popu-
lous suburbs. IL would have come into
the census with a larger Formulation
than Birmingham or Atlanta. AS IT is
Richmond made fine showing--a gain
OF more than 10 per cent. over 1900"
There Is frank speech for YOU. Mark
YOU that Is what he told them In Ala
bama. not in Virginia. lie spoke r,Sht
out in meeting. and gave out tho facts
about the great Southern metropolis.
which facts ought to be more generally
known by the folks who think thar
Birmingham is a choice combination
of London and New York. so far as the
South IS concerned 1t may be when it
comes TO the character of the popula-
ton. but not so In the point OF magnl-
tude
Richmond, If 1t absorbed counties
with the recklessness of Atlanta ana
Birmingham, ami figured on the same
basis or computation. would make 4
showing that would reveal the trcmcn-
dous growth and strength OF this
splendid city.

SAME luxe rHE EAnrn

Professor Thomas jefferson jackson
Sec, astronomer in charge Of the United
States Navy Observatory at Mare
Island, has reached the conclusion
after most careful study and by the
deductive process. that the planet
Venus is inhabited, and as we are in
no position to prove to the contrary
we accept his verdict In good faith
Professor See holds that the condi-
tons OH Venus are similar 10 the con
ditions on Earth. The earth has never
rotated very rapidly and has not been
retarded appreciably by tidal friction:
il Is just the same with Venus. Venus
gets around in twentythree hours and
twenty-one minutes. which is a bit
faster than the earth. which lumhers
alone In exactly twenty-three hours,
fifty-siX minutes and 1890 seconds. But
for the retardng effects OF such com
munities as Charleston, where the tidal
friction cannot be controlled. it is rea-
sonable to assume that we should mako
a little better time. though the opin-
ion is general that we are going fast
enough as it Is.
We are quite ready 10 accept the
views OF Professor See. and especially
since he has rejected the accepted the
cries on cosmical evolution. which are
utterly vltiated by the false premise
that planets have been detached from
the sun by accelerntion OF rotation.
when, in point OF fact. the matter of
this globe twas originally expanded
into a nebula. Alling their orbits and
rotating In the equilibrium under con-
ditions OF hydrostatic pressure"
1t is gratifying to know that not
| only is Venus inhabited. but that its
inhabitants are intelligent beings,
probably We hope that they are as
intelligent at least as arc their distant
cousins on this terrestrial ball, ana
that they are more devoted TO business
than TO politics.

Baltimore. oct. THE grand jurys re-

Believes Him Possible Presidential Can
didate Because of Congress Record.

Buffalo, oct. chairman Norman r..
Mack of the Democratic National Com
mittee, in the October number OF The
National Monthly" presents Speaker
Champ Clark of the House of Representa-
tives as possible candidate for the Demo-
cratic Presidential nomination.
Mr.. Macks list OF possibilities now m
cludes Governor Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey, Governor Judson Harmon of Ohio,
Governor Thomas r. Marshall Of Indiana.
Governor Eugene y. Foss Of Massachu-
sets. Governor John A. Dix OF New York
and Speaker Champ Clark. Mr.. Mack SAYS:
The battle next year. for which every
body is now actively preparing. must be
fought largely on the magnificent record
of the present Democratic House, Of which
Champ Clark is Speaker, and I'm the shaI'-
ing of whose policies his has been the pre-
dominant influence.
Small wonder therefore, that his name
stands high in the list Of the Democratic
Presidential possibilities. The logic OF
events has placed him there, for since he
has maze and is making the record upon
which we must appeal to the country, II
is but logical that he should loom largely
upon the horizon as a strong Presidential
