SOUTHERN
COMMERCIAL
GRESS.
CON-
There will be stirring times in
Washington ( city next week on ac
count of important meetings to be
held there. Congress will meet on
Monday. This, as usual, will draw
public attention. Then, as was an
nounced in this paper a few days ago,
the National Rivers and Harbors Con
gress will meet on Wednesday. This
. gathering wil1 be. largely attended by
representative business men from eve
ry section of the country and will be
of even greater interest to the general
public than the Congress.
During the same week there will be
another important assembly in that
city. The Southern Commercial Con
gress wiJJ convene on Monday and re
main in session two days. This will
be the first eo-eperanive move on the
part of Southern commercial bodies.
Its purpose is t; "create through la'.
th3 South a greater self-knowledir-3
nnd a fuller understanding of the com
mercial destiny of the Southern
States.
The purpose also is to remove from
other portions of our own country and
from Europe the misunderstandings
existing relative to health and educa
tional conditions in the South. In
other words the object of this con
gress is to aid "our own people in ac
quiring a fuller understanding of the
South's natural resources and her fu
ture possibilities if those resources
tare properly developed and to over
come the false impression existing in
other sections as to conditions here i
Ex-Mayor Woodward now realizes
the power of public sentiment in con
trolling political elections; that where
a moral question is involved it is
stronger than party ties, and that a
man should be careful how he opposes
it or attempts to go contrary to the
rules It lays down regarding the con
duct of public officials. The day haa
passed when a man can pursue the
course he has and retain his hold on
a constituency. Sobriety and moral
conduct are considered just as neces
sary in a public official as mental ca
pacity. In the overwhelming defeat of
Woodward the people of Atlanta
taught him and all men of his kind a
lesson which it would be well for them
to heed.

Those little baby boats the naval
authorities are sending to the Pacific
coast and to the , Philippines wiirbe
out of date by the time they reach
their destination if they are successful
in doing so at all. Those for the Pa
cific should have been sent overland
by railroad. That would have been
cheaper and less hazardous, and those
to the Philippines should have been
put aboard the next transport sent to
the East.
In the Democratic States of the
South the lumber men and the cotton
mill men want tariff protection for the
products of their mills; the growers
of rice, peanuts, cotton and other
crops, each wants the out-put of his
farm to receive similar protection.
This is the commercial view of the
question, which is very different from
the Dolitical demand for tariff for
revenue only.
The successful contestants in the
automobile races at Savannah drew
pretty good prizes, but then they took
big risks to win them. In such races
the margin between life and death is
a mighty narrow one. The wonder is
that there were not more serious acci
dents. Every man taking part in the
races put his life in serious jeopardy.
We can't see any entanglements in
the agreement just entered into Be
tween Japan and the United States.

John A. Mitchener, of Selma, N. C,
Secretary of the local Wyatt Memo
rial Association, which is trying to
raise funds for erecting a monument
to the North Carolina soldfcr who
was the first give up his life in the
cause of the Confederacy, publishes!
an appeal for funds in which he says:
"'The movement inaugurated to raise
funds with which to icrect a memorial
is not eighteen months old. There is
in hands of the treasurer ia very cred
itable showing in cash for so shorta
time. The situation is now an 'in
teresting one and calls for cash now
from all who intend to help. It is
this: I have a conditional subscrip
tion, Spot dash, of one thousand dol
lars, if on the first day of January,
1909, I can show that a certain
amount is ready in the hands of the
treasurer. To remove all doubt as to
getting that one thousand dollars for
a New Year's present, I shall on

It may be true, as Rockefeller de
clares, that the oil business is a pe
culiarly hazardous cne; but when
business enables those engaged in it
to "heds?&" as luxuriously as Johndee
has, the hazard appear to be what
the insurance men call a "good risk."
Columbia State.
A sporting writer in the Columbia
State the other day, writing on the
fact that Columbia had dropped out
of the South Atlantic League and the
possibility of entering some other
leasrue. made this statement: "The
population of the Carolina Association
towns in an estimate for 1907: Char

It is to the credit of the New
York World that it should confess that
the version of the German Emperor's
interview with Dr. Hale, which it
published some days ago, was a fabri
cation from the whole cloth. Bnt the
investigation which induces the re
traction should have preceded the
publication of the article to. satisfy
the requirements of decent journal
ism. The matter was one of great im-
portano?, involving, possibly, even the
relations between Germany and Eng
land, to. say nothing of the personal
entitlement of the German Emperor to
fair treatment. Its greed for sensa
tion is ia very serious fault in a jour
nal which is in many respects ably.

The Virginia 2-cent passenger rate
case affords another example of the
curious differences that occur in ju
dicial opinion even in the highest
court. Justice Brewer dissented from
the decision of the majority as ren
dered by Justice Holmes, on the
ground that the decree of the lower
court was right and should be upheld.
Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Har
lan concurred in the conclusion that
the decree should be reversed, but
put it on the ground contended for
by the Virginia. Commission, that the
latter was a judicial body, in effect
a State court, with whose decrees a
Federal court could not interfere.

As some doubt has apparently
arisen in this country, as well as in
Europe, as to just what was meant
by the "two-Power" standard, which
the British Navy is supposed to main
tain in comparison with other navies,
the question has been put directly to
the British Premier during a debate
in the House of Commons. Mr. As
quith, who has apparently irrevocably
adopted the two-Power standard as
part oi tne lioerai programme, an
nounced that this meant a preponder
ance for Great Britain of 10 per cent
over tire combined strength in capital
ships of the two next strongest naval
powers. This seems explicit enough,
yet some of Mr. Asquith's followers
professed to believe that neither the
United States nor Japan were includ
ed in these calculations. This ques
tion was propounded to the Premier
in Parliament like the other problem
had been, and he made it perfectly
clear that the words, "two next stron
gest Powers," meant to include all
nations, wherever situated. As the
United States and Germany hold the
second and third places among the
world's navies, the two-Power stand
ards in the British- Navy actually
means that the strength of that Navy
is to be maintained so as to show a
preponderance of 10 per cent over
the combined strength of the United
States and German Navies. New Or

You Probably Think It Is Twenty-four
Hours, but It Isn't.
Nine persons out of ten yes, 999 out
of every 1,000 if asked how long it
takes the earth to turn once on its
axis would answer twenty-four hours.
and to the question, How many times
does it turn on its axis in the course
of the year? the answer would be
3654 times. Both answers are wrong.
It requires but twenty-three hours
and fifty-six minutes for the earth to
make one complete turn7 and it makes
36G turns during the year. The er
ror springs from a wrong idea of what
is meant by a day.
The day is not, as is commonly sup
posed, the time required by the earth
to make one turn on its axis, but the
interval between two successive pas
sages of the sun across the meridian
that is to say, the time which elapses
after the sun is seeu exnetly south in
its diurnal course through the heavens
before it is again seeniin that position.
Now, in consequence of the earth's
revolution in its orbit or path round
the sun, the sun has the appearance
of moving very slowly in the heavens
in a direction from east to west. At
noon tomorrow the sun will be a short
distance to the east of the point in the
heavens at which it is seen at noon
today, so that when the earth has
made one complete turn it will still
have to turn four minutes longer be
fore the sun can again be seen exactly
south.
