THEY WANT A SLICE.

congressman Littauer of New York, who seems to be mixed up in the glove con tract business. is not the only Republican statesman suspected of wanting rake- off in the way of contracts. It is not certain that the skirts of Senators For aker and Hanna are entirely clear of at least desire to benefit by getting on the right side There is to be a large govern ment building erected at Cleveland. O.. and the architect of the Treasury has drawn the plans and specifications for the building to be erected of granite. There is no granite in Ohio suitable for the structure. but there is plenty of sand stone, and Foraker and Hanna insist that ohio's State pride will be sadly disfig- ured. if domestic stone is not used for their State building.
 Here comes in the graft. To change from granite to sandstone will require a change of the architects plans, at no small cost to the government, but the statement is made on what appears to be good authority that the lowest bid on Ohio sandstone is ssOS.Ooo higher than 1t would cost to build the structure of gran ite all the way from Maine or Vermont. If the change is made the government will thus pay this extra cost, besides the extra expense of changing all the plans and specifications. but Ohio's State pride will be saved and some of Ohios loyal citizens will line their pockets.

TT FITS ALL OF THEM.

Some of our contemporaries of the Re- publican persuasion have been trying very hard to argue themselves into the belief that the tariff denverance of their party in Iowa means something, but they have a discouraging job of it. But not all of them undertake 1t. The Portland Oregon ian is one of the really strong newspapers of the country. and it is consistently Re- publican. It has these sarcastic conn ments on the platform:
 Not content with the statement of gem eral principles. the platform passes on to more definite terms. We are bluntly ad- be increased, and duties that are too high should be reduced" By the merest inadyertencs 1t must have been. the sem sion of the declaration that duties that are exactly right should be left as they stand. but this will readily be supplied by meat me cieaver. FIT The s resoiutions @nS Committee if evidently had it in mind here to defy in velorcus candor not only the mugwumps slready too high, but also the college pro fessors who write magazine articles in favor of reductions on duties that are ai- ready Tssy too .hS low; It Is upon this platform stand side by side and defy the world to show its error. Their assurance passes bounds.
 As The Advertiser has before remarked, the most strenuous protectionist and the most persistent low tariff man, Republi- can or Democrat. can construe the Iowa deliverance to suit his own views and be satisfied with his construction. But the most comfortably fixed man is the one who, as intimated by The Oregonian. finds that the present dutia- ava axactI,, right and that there should be no raising or lowering indulged in. To a man of that kind the new Iowa idea is as pleas avs and solacing as mint julep to a Kentucky Colonel.

 Some days ago The Advertiser referred to an aged Indian woman who died re. gently in Indian Territory. and added that she might have visited the site of Mont gomery in her young days. The Dale County News tries to get us into hole by saying:
 We call on the Atlanta papers to straighten this thing out We know they will show that she formerly resided there and that her wigwam was on Whitehall Street. Fact is. they may remember well when she was little girl and left for the Indian Territory seventy-flve years ago. She probably never stopped in Montgom- cry at all.
 Now, you just let our Indian alone. Don't imagine that because Atlanta has depot and Legislature in session. not to speak of other antiquities and visita- tions. that she can lay over Montgomery in everything. No Creek Indian ever saw Atlanta, unless 1t was a modern speci- men trying to get to some better place.

COLLEGE MEN TO WORK.

New 1Ork special.

Forty students of Princeton, Har- yard and Cornell will ship" from New York on Saturday for the southwestern wheat belt. There they will work in the fields from sun up till dark gathering the crop. This is for their health and $2. 50 day and board, which they have been guaranteed The students who will turn farm hands during their vacation, accord ing 10 Superintendent Bealin of the State Free Employment Bureau, with whom they were booked" are a husky looking lot of fellows, nearly all of the football type" large. rawboned and broad shoul- dered. Some of them have never done any hard work, but they have physiques Princeton has sent the largest gang of

WAS IT A FAKEp

Can't the reporters of the big papers get or tell the truth? In all of them Sec retsry of the Navy Moody Is reported as saying:
 When. recently, I travelled with the President and the car was surrounded by q large but friendly crowd, I remarked sonal danger. He said that if an attempt was made upon the President he would condone the lynchinR of the guilty party.
 This was making the President say. in almost direct language, that lynching would be right and justifable, if any one even attempted to injure him. It was, in fact making him an advocate of lynch law. not for an actual crime committed, but because an attempt had been made on the President. It Is but just to both the President and Mir Moody to state that the latter has hatly denied making such a statement. and we must accept his denial. which only makes it less ex- cusable for the newspaper reporter who faked the interview. If the President was misquoted. the reporter is blameable, while if the report was wholly false. there is not shadow of excuse for it.
 We all remember what despicable false hoods were sent out about General Wheel CT, by which not only was gallant and honored Alabamian slandered, but serious reproach was put on the Confederate Vet erans. There is no excuse for this kind of lying. Reporters are expected to col lect and publish the news, but when they knowingly and wilfully publish false hoods, they should be punished like other forRers. And while saving this we rnust add that if Roosevelt really said what was reported. both he and Secretary Moody have nothing to be proud of.

Now 1t is held at three times that figure and hard to get and if we should need 1t in our business. 1t might be difiicult to buy more than a few pounds. But that is just the way with newspaper men. who are usually improvident. They put off buying winter coal till the price goes up. and other necessaries of life are dealt with in the same careless way. That Is why so few of them are worth more than . million dollars.

The Montgomery Advertiser appears to be very much enthused over Governor Ayeock of North Carolina for the second place on the national ticket. We expect MT. Aycock will get the nomination, as he is the chief captain of the ring rule in North Carolina, and every one knows ''cooneys" back and he Is trying now to move up higher. but the coon Is dead and so Is Aycock.-Hartford News-Herald.
 If our contemporary had read its ex- changes with more care. 1t would know that The Advertiser has done nothing of the kind. It has not endorsed. recom- mended or otherwise editorially spoken of Governor Aycock in connection with the Vice-Presidency. Better put on your glasses and not mix the babies.
