ing a negro chance to triumph over a white rival in a prize fight. The
 negro might not become the winner, and then again he might. The Brit
 ish government seems to think he would. So the fight on English soil has been 'called off, and it will take place, if at all, on soil that has fewer subjects of African blood. If an African whips a white man all Afri- cans would at once feel, and perhaps assert, that an African army could handle white army in like manner. This might be illogical and even ab- surd, and yet the British government prefers to take no chances in the direction of prize fighting, and no fistic battle will therefore take place on English soil that involves the color line.

Let the People Decide

Senator Watt T. Brown urges Ala bama to push forward her first choice for President, Oscar W. Underwood. "The people of Alabama" says MT. Brown, "should not only exclaim, We are for Underwood,' but they should go out and do some real work for him. And the limit of this, work should not be confined to this state. Alabama has, by working in other southern states, great opportuni- ty-an opportunity that is knocking at her doors. There is no telling when another such opportunity will appear"
 All very true and all very perti- nent to the swelling demand for a presidential preference primary in this state. On account of the peculiar position that this state will hold in the democratic national convention every voter in presidential prefer ence primary should be permitted to name both his first and second choice The politicians are scheming in back rooms to name the states second choice in case Mir. Underwood fails to land the great plum. It is far bet ter to let the voters make their own selection, far better, and MT. Under wood himself says he sees no objec- tion to presidential primary. Neither does any one else who de- serves to see the state really and truly represented in the convention.

Mexico's Presidential Election

Two months ago Diaz steamed away from Vera Cruz on the same ship that carried away on Thursday last Gen. Bernardo Reyes. This ac- ton on Reyes part leaves only Emilio Gomez, once minister of the interior, to contest with Madero for the presidency. The backing of Co., meg is inconsiderable, and Madero is well assured of success in tomor- rows elections.
 The vice presidency is more in doubt because a successful candidate must receive 51 per cent of the total vote. Failing to get that percentage the election is transferred to the chamber of deputies, which is pretty we'll filled with men chosen under the Diaz administration.
 The three men supported for vice president are Pino Suarez of Yuca- tan, who was nominated by the con- vention that raised the Madero stand ard. Suarez is the Madero candidate for vice president, in other words. Francisco Vasquez Gomez, now sec retary of public instruction, will also be voted for, and so will Provisional President De La Barra. Both Gomez and De La Barra may be said to be passive candidates, or, as we say in this country, they are in receptive mood. Suarez, on the other hand, is on the stump conducting an earnest campaign after the American fashion.
 As the election approaches the strength of Madero becomes more manifest. Order is being restored in all the states with perhaps two ex- captions, and real election bids fair to be held tomorrow in Latin-A Amer ican republic. This will be something new under the sun.

Mosquitoes in Jasper

T read an editorial article in the Walker County News this week which set forth distressing mosquito condi- tions in Jasper" said man who spent several days last summer in that thriv ing little city.
 Tt seems that Jasper had never known what mosquitoes were up to four years ago. The editor of the Walker County News points out what he assumes to be fact that mos quitoes always follow a waterworks system. After Jasper became citified enough to have waterworks, mosquitoes began to make their appearance. Last summer they were troublesome for a few weeks, but no more so than in other cities. According to the News they have been in evidence throughout a large part of this summer, and now they are at their worst. The editor of the paper referred to gives good advice when he says the people of Jasper shuld see to it that no water is all lowed to stand in barrels, in cans or other vessels. He suggests that if a nail were driven through every can just as soon as it is emptied of its food so that rain water would run through it, the mosquito plague would be greatly minimized."

PERMISSIBLE DECEIT
Washington Irving. Sketch Book.

Washington Irving. Sketch Book.
 Tine most favorite object of curiosity
 however, is Shakespeares chair. It
 stands in the chimney nook of a small,
 gloomy chamber, just behind what was
 his fathers shop. Here he sat many a
 time when a boy, watching the slowly
 revolving spit, with all the longing of an
 uichin, or of an evening listening to the
 crones and gossips of Stratford, dealing
 from churchyard tales and lengendary
 anecdotes of the troublesome times of
 England.
 In this chair it is the custom of every
 one who visits the house to sit; whether this be done with the hope of imbibing any of the inspiration of the bard, I am at a loss to say; I merely mention the fact; and mine hostess privately assured me that, though built of solid oak, such was the fervent zeal of devotees, that the chair had to be new bottomed at least orce in three years.
 It Is worthy of notice also in the his tory of this extraordinary chair, that 1t rartalles something of the volatile na- ture of the Santa Casa of Loretto or the flying chair of the Arabian encha nter: for, though sold some few years ago to a northern princess, yet strange to tell it has found it's way back again to the old chimney corner. I am always of easy faith in such matters, and am very will ing to be deceived where the deceit Is pleasant and costs nothing.

Paternity of the Antitrust Act

Paternity of the Antitrust Act
 Albert H. Walker of New York has been Investigating the fame that Senator John Sherman has secured in connection with the antitrust bill. This bill remained dormant oyer 10 years after it had become law, but it has now, through changes in public sentiment and decisions in the fed eral courts, become a far reaching and highly important piece of legis- lation.
 MT. Walkers investigations have been searching, and he presents be- yond all reasonable doubt the truth as to the authorship of the famous bill. Senator Sherman did intro- duce an antitrust bill in the 51st Congress, but that bill was sent to the Senate judiciary committee, and when it came from that committee nothing remained of it but it's title. "The eight sections of the statute, ? says MT. Walker, "were written by the following senators in the follow ing proportions: Senator Edmunds wrote all of sections 1, 2, 8, and 6 except seven words of section 1, which seven words were written by Senator Evarts. Those were the words, in the form of trust or other wise. Senator George wrote all of section 4. Senator Hoar wrote all of section 2 and Senator Ingalls, was the author of section S."
 All these senators are dead except Senator Edmunds. Secretary Sher- man did not write a line of the act, and as none of the senators who did write it desired to claim the honor of authorship, the whole thing was thrust upon Senator Sherman, and his permanent fame will perhaps rest upon an act that he did not devise and did not write. He was a brother of William Tecumpseh Sherman, and no one stood higher in republican in ner circles than he did about the year 1890 when the antitrust law was put on the statute book.

PASSING OF THE NUDE
rom the Sydney Bulletin.

F rO1n the SydHey bulletln.
 Ever since the first court dressmaker ordained that the beauty of the human form should be enhanced by a string of sharks teeth and a few daubs of green paint it has been generally recognized that the simple nude is objectionable to our advancing civilization. Prehistoric sumptuary laws made 1t penal for any warrior to go abroad wearing less than one feather, or for any lady to be seen in public without the seemly and suf- ficient covering of a bone ring worn mod esty in the nose; and the up to date civic authorities of pork packing Kansas City have within the present year put the keystone in the arch of modern decency by decreeing that the classic statues in the public park shall be henceforth draped in garments of spotted cotton. The worlds sense of shame has been progress sive, and, in proportion as city slums, nlillonaires, beef trusts, shipping rings and other respectable institutions have grown. the objection to the nude has in- oeeased.
 In really civilized parts of the world SiA.dil iouoCHoid do6o ldNo SildrCu lIc delecate fastdiousness of their mistresses, and there is reasonable hope that the day of the naked COW and the ungar- mented horse is fast drawing to a close. Everywhereethe crude handiwork of na- tIre is being adorned and improved upon. Shoulders, waists and hips are wrought to Parsan design, and at the present moment there is a wild outcry against tho fashionable heresy which dares to suggest that the human female is bifur- cated and possessed of neither limbs which extend above the feet and ankles The glorious recognition of the fact that manhood consists mainly of tweed, and womanhood of silk and cotton, has come to us in all its fulpess. We think of tho crude beginnings of responsibility in the days of head necklace, flowing whis- lsers and tawny leopard skin, and we rejoice to think that even the wild per- sons who disport themselves in the ocean surf wear 100 per cent more clothing than all the gods of Olympus could have mus tered in their entire wardrobe. By what wealth of textile wonder is the washer woman of today better than the goddess of old time,

Gold Exports Are Possible

In the eight months ending on Sep tember l our exports exceeded our imports more than S250, ,000, ,OOO, and yet we may soon be exporting gold to Europe. The New York Journal of Commerce explains the anomaly of gold exports at time when our exports of merchandise far outrun our imports.
 Such gold exports would have no relation to merchandise or debts abroad. It would simply be an effort to place American money where it would command better rates when loaned. The demand for money in this country is light and rates low, and this may be the case until after the presidential election. Money is easily and quickly transferred. The demand for money in Berlin and London, and even in Paris is keen and rates have been put up. Cable orders or bills of exchange render the transfer of money easy, and these will perhaps draw gold after them. At any rate any export of gold at this time simply means that Ameri- can bankers are sending their money where it can be loaned to the best advantage at remunerative rates.
 This country produces we'll nigh one hundred millions worth of gold a year, and if we send some of it across the water to be loaned at good rates no one need be surprised. We would simply be sending away gold just as South Africa does-gold that is not needed at home and that can not be loaned at home at good rates. Our surplus may be sent abroad, but it will be where it can be recalled whenever it is needed at home, and the sending of it will in no respect have any relation to the much dis cussed and little understood "balance of trade"

From the Boston Transcript
 Arrests made by post office inspec- tors have suspended the operations of the brokerage house" of Jared Flagg. Jr., New York financier who has been paying his customers 1 per cent week interest on their investments. MT. Flagg claims to have dealt with stock exchange and consolidated stock ex- change houses. It was the president of the latter body who gave an impetus to proceedings by ordering the member ship not to do business with him, this unkind action being prompted by the belief that MT. Flaggs proposition was too good to be true. Yet the dividend checks appear to have been mailed with inspiring regularity, and it was not un- til a client sought to wind up his or her investment that there came a hitch in the programme. Possibly MT. Flagg frightened his fist on the altruistic prin ciple that if people did not know when they were well off, he would do them good, anyhow And the postoffice in spectors affirm that he did them. good.
 It is pleasing pastime to study the
 
 with MT. Flagg in his public spirited enterprise, and we regret that space does not permit us to set forth their records in full. MT. Flagg himself has been fined for maintaining a public nuisance-though that one, to be sure, was not a brokerage office. His treas urer is a former treasurer of the United States who, it is alleged, has lent an air of solidity and distinction to at least two stock selling enterprises. Another partner is a publisher who failed in business twice, and still another is a retired minister of the Dutch Reformed church. We do not quite comprehend how any official can question the financial acumen of gentlemen of such extensive experience, especially in tho face of the fact that MT. Flagg him self is said to have "salted down" about 8 million dollars. Young MT. Miller, formerly of Brooklyn, agreed to pay 10 per cent week. instead of 1 per cent, and Mrs. Howe. who Is remembered and lamented in connection with our own Woman's bank, was almost as generous. Obviously MT. Flagg could easily pay 52 per cent so long as the money con- tinued to come in, and it would have come indefinitely if the authorities had not brutally interfered. Financiers like MT. Flagg are seldom at loss for clients. One is born every minute.
