The South and Conservatism.

Only few days ago it was announced
that Representative Pujo of Louisiana
would retire from politics at the close of
his present term, and now it is announced
that Representative Brantley Of Georgia
will take the same step.
Both announcements are unwelcome.
Both men are useful in Office to their
sections and the country. Both have at
tanned high rank in the House. Both
hold excellent committee assignments.
Both are heard with respect and atten-
ton whenever they take the floor In de-
bate.
These men are classed as conservatives.
The present radicalism of the democracy
does not appeal to them They are good
partisans, and have held their commits
sions as such. They have done their
party much good service. But now they
will try private life again.
The loss of these men will be felt 1t
is the time when both parties and the
country need men of experience as well
as ability in office Seldom has the coun-
try known SO much unrest North, south,
east and west are in the throes of excited
discussion of questions that go almost to
the foundation of things. One of them
goes that far For the recall as to judges
and judicial decisions would cripple and
demoralize a coordinate branch Of the
government.
The south is vitality interested in the
proper settlement of all these questions.
She would not thrive under free trade, for
not only is she growing in Importance as
a manufacturing section, but her raw ma
terials are enormous in both variety and
value. Free trade would cripple the cot
ton industry of Georgia, and destroy the
cane sugar industry of Louisiana.
The currency problem touches the
south. as it does other sections intimate
ly. Her towns and cities are growing,
and such growth means an increase in
banking capital and a necessity for the
best and safest Of circulating mediums.
And. of course, the proper railroad reg
ulation. an adequate policy of conserva-
ton and the integrity Of the courts are
matters of the highest concern to sec.
ton where progress is showing in all
lines of material endeavor.
Mr.. Pujo and Mr.. Brantley are not of
the orator class. and for that reason have
been of the greater service in the House.
1t has been a criticism of southern poll
tics that it is too much under the sway
of stump fiuency and too little under that
of calm discussion. But when the Brant-
leys and the Pujos exhibit power, and
Oscar Underwood-a man of thought and
few words-becomes a national leader and
presidential candidate. a day which
should be protracted would appear to
have dawned for that section. Never be-
fore has the south needed in Congress
more conservatism and thoughtfulness in
her representatives than at present

Land at the South Pole.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Prior to the Peary and Amundsen
dashes to either pole enough was known
to establish the probability that the north
ern point of the earth's axis was in the
midst of ocean and the southern in
the midst of a great body of land These
proba bilitieS have now been made GER
tainties, but the more remarkable is that
which not only reveals land extending
over and around the south pole, but land
rising in great masses to heights of
10000 and even 1900 feet above the sea.
The earths polar diameter is twenty
six and d half miles shorter than its
equatorial diameter, and the depression
should theoretically be as great at the
one as at the other pole. 1t has been
held that even globe of solid matter
revolving rapidly on it's axis would take
an oblate form through the piling up of
matter toward the equator, and much
more should this be the case with a
molten sphere. How. then, explain this
appearance of a great land continent and
mountains $1,000 feet high massed around
the south pole, while water of unknown
depth covers the north?

The Base Ball Trust.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

FROM the Phlladeipnla Ledger.
And now it is the base ball trust that
is denounced as combination in re-
straint of trade and a fit subject for con-
gressiopal investigation. The resolution
introduced by Representative Gallagher
of Illinois contemplates the appointment
of a committee of seven to take up with
the Department of Justice the malfea
sance of what is described as 1.-The most
audaciouS and autocratic trust in the
country" OF course, it will be necessary
for this committee to attend games, to
see for itself 'how competition is stified,
how territory and games are apportioned
how the prices are fixed which millions
must pay to witness the sport The
committee is to have the power ito
compel the attendance of Witnesses
Does that mean that attendance at base
ball games in the District of Columbia is
hereafter to be compulsory? If SO, there
is some hope for reawakened public in
terest in the fate of the loWly, down
trodden tailenderS Tor next to it, of the
American League, with their percentage
of 416 as compared with Philadelphia $
Droud $3.50.

Let them keep exploring,
Searching for the pole.
While the winds are roaring
Round the icy goal.
Northward let them travel;
Southwark let them fly.

Bid them bravely try.

Rise for all they're worth,
In their various fashions

Melts and drifts away.

1t is feared that the member OF Con-

and imagination. A statesman should at
least have the privilege of indicating
where he thinks the applause ought to be.

of Columbia Socialists, in reply to dec
larations of Cardinal Gibbons against
Socialism,, says:
''The arguments made by Cardinal
Gibbons do not hit our philosophy. His
attacks are wasted on straw man he
labeled Socialism. Government alone
is not Socialism. What we advocate
has nothing to do with religion or the
home. We simply demand that the
people shall, collectively, own all in
dustries upon which the welfare of all
the people depend. But we also ad-
vocate the absolute democratic man

quently, government ownership under

ment has attracted thousands of Cath

cate better industrial system, ano

tenders.

Charleston, W. Va, Sept. 6.--Not a
bushel of coal was dug in the Hills
of Kanawha County today Ten
thousand miners-strickers and non
combants-are coming into the
capital on every train to make a.
silent demonstration against govern
ment by private guards at the mines.
In the evening they will join in a
parade led by "Mother" Jones, and
at 7 o'clock will mass around the cap
itol grounds to learn from Gov. Glass
cock whether the mine guard will be
allowed to come back after the reign
of martial law, which has banished
the guards, is lifted.
Charleston, w. Va, Sept. 6.-What
the territory under martial law in the
Kanawha coal fields is to be extended
to include parts Of Boone and Fayette
counties was the belief today when the
orders were issued calling out every
military company in the State.
The original proclamation suspended
the constitution only in portion Of
kanawha county
Governor Glasscock would not adj
nit that he purposed an extension
of the martial law district, but it was
apparent that the serious situation
could not be handled safely unless a
larger section of the country around
Paint Creek and Cabin Greek were
included.
Twenty prisoners were IN the guard
house today awaiting trial before the
military commission. They were mine
guards and miners.
The sentencing Of w. Y. Tucker,
mine guard, to one year in the penl-
tentiary yesterday indicated that the
military commission will inhict seri-
Gus punishment where evidence is OBJ
tainable.
Tucker was charged with carrying re-
volvers and other weapons without
State license, and impersonating an
officer while a nonresident Of the
| State.
Tucker was imported by detect
i've agency to help break the mine
strike. He admitted having killed u
man in Joncsville, Va, before COM
ing to the Vast Virginia district,
but said that the killing was done in
self defense
Forty-one mine guards, non-rcsl-
dents Of the district, have obcyed the
order of the military authorities by
leaving the strike territory.

St. Petersburg, Sept. G.--GrowIng
out of the charge by admiralty oili-
cials that "agents provocatour' in
the ministry of the Interiors service
have been investigating mutinies
among Russian sailors, it was said
today that bitter feud had developed
between the two departments.
It has long been the interior minis
try's theory that the employment of
spies to preach revolution to the mass
es is the simplest way of learning
what places most need watching to
prevent outbreaks. tThe admiralty
naturally objects to this when applied
to the navy. AS a result of the fight
the fall of important official heads is
predicted.
Nothing is known here of the out
come Of the battle between mutineers
on the ship of the Black Sea fleet

pressed news of the trouble.

that Greece, Bulgaria, and Servia are

worse in Turkey than they are and a
successful war would clear the atmos-
phere.

Board remarked that 33 more permits
to children had been issued this year
than during the corresponding time
last year People who have been
sending their children to private
schools have told him that they pro-
pose to take advantage of the facilities
offered by the city in the future
Mr.. Pierce moved that a new COM
mittee be appointed to wait upon the
Council in the interests of the propos-
ed new building. His motion was adopt
ed, and Messrs. Pierce, L. H. Thomp-
son, Cox, Bradshaw and Howard were
appointed, together with DR.. Smith,
who will be chairman of the committee
ex-officio.
Superintendent Sweeney reported
that the schools are filling up rapidly
and beyond his anticipations. He pro-
duced an exhibit showing the number
of scholars in each grade. He also
referred to the necessary arrange
ments which have been made Tor
the reopening of the schools.
The yearly question as to the eli
gibility of certain children for en-
trance to the public schools of the
city came up again last night. At the
meeting of the board year az it was
decided to adher strictly to the old rule
which provides that children whose
parents pay a license tax for conduct
ing business in this city and in ad-
dition, own property here, although
living outside of Alexandria, can en-
ter the schools.
Mr.. Pierce spoke in favor Of allow
ing children of parents who live in
places bordering upon the city to en-
ter the schools. He did not believe in
placing a wall around our public
school facilities. He would be pleased
to see large attendance of children
from the outlying districts in our
public schools.
Mr.. L. H. Thompson moved that the
board adhere strictly to the rule and
exclude all children who do not reside
in the city except children whose par
ents own property here and in addl-
ton pay license tax to the city he
also spoke against letting down the
bars to outsiders.
Mr.. Phillips seconded the motion ano
it was adopted.
Mr.. Cox offered an amendment pro-
viding for committee to investigate
the matter and to procure: an opinion
from the Corporation AsctturiiegS but
the amendment had been lost.
After an interchange of opinion up
on certain routine business which hao
been presented, the board adjourned
