WELCOME TO THE CONVENTION.

Montgomery welcomes the convention of good men who assemble at the tis- toric State Capitol today. We have had many conventions here in the past, polti- cal. religious, military and literary, but this is an assembly which affects the entire citizenship of Alabama. It touches all parties, creeds and beliefs, all colors and conditions, male and female, who go to make up the aggregation of Alabama's population. It concerns the poor equally with the rich, for all classes and condi- tions use the roads of the country. The humble ox-cart of the poor farmer needs a good highway as much as does the splendid carriage of the aristocrat-more, perhaps, for the farmer has less means of overcoming the difficulties and disad- vantages of an inferior road system.
 The matter of making good roads is no longer an experiment, but a demon- strated certainty. The advantages gain ed are such as are palpable to the eye, and require no argument or explanation. Montgomery, as well as some other com munities in Alabama, can show to any doubting Thomas that there is pleasure and satisfaction. and what is of greater importance to. some, real profit in
 good road. The loads which have been
 coming to this city from the adjacent country afford combinations strong as | proofs of holy writ" that a well-built | highway is a money saver. Those who | bring those loads to town and those who see them brought are living witnesses to the benefits thus conferred on the peo- pie.
 What has been done in the prairie mud contiguous to Montgomery can be done in any portion of Alabama. It is the busi- ness of this Good Roads Convention to show the people the latest, best and most economical methods of road building. They will teach all interested the methods suitable to different localities, soils and typographical conditions. It will be the privilege of the delegates who are here to see and learn how to make roads, and it will be their province and duty to go back to their constituents and tell them what they have learned and how they can best put that knowledge to practical use. Thus all the people of all the State will be brought into practical contact with the convention.
 The people of Montgomery and the State owe a debt of gratitude to the Good Roads Division of the Department of Agriculeure at Washington, to the Southern Railway and to the gentlemen who are travelling over the South in the interest of good roads, and they can best pay that debt by assisting in every way to carry out the objects aimed at. Let the convention be made such a success that its work will be a lasting monu- ment to all who participate in it.

Foraker Riding in Front.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Hanna was Foraker is. That Is the story coming from all parts of the Ohio political field. The influence of the Senator from the river edge are now consulted in Ohio matters. When two men ride a horse one must ride behind. Hanna has had the saddle and Foraker the crupper for over four years. Now Foraker seems to be firm in the saddle. while his Senatorial colleague is slipping over the tail It Is the way of politics.
