Washington, May 15.-(Special. .)-Form- CT Secretary of the Navy John D. Long of Massachusetts, who is visiting Wash ington for the first time since he left the cabinet, although he says he has retired from politics. came thrillingly near being
 Tn It as deep as a man can get to be In this republic.
 In other words, but for one political boss of one State MT. Long would now be President of the United States and Theodore Roosevelt would have been venting his strenuosity In another field than that which is chief executive here.
 It Is a part of unwritten history Of the year 1900 that the Mckinley administra- ton leaders had selected Secretary Long as President McKinley's running mate in the campaign of that year.
 MT. Long had been approached and had consented to become a candidate. Little thought he that his subordinate-for Mir. Roosevelt was then Assistant Secretary of the Navy-would get the prize with all its possibilities. Long was not over zeal ous to stay in the cabinet, as he showed by his resignation when Roosevelt came to be President preferring quieter life anyhow. President Mckinley agreed to release MT. Long If he would accept the nomination for Vice-President on the ticket with him. The proposition was agreeable. So 1t was well understood nation for the second place on the ticket was to go to the Massachusetts man.
 But when the Philadelphia convention came on Senator Platt was there with his plan to get Roosevelt out of the road in New York. He took advantage of Teddy's pull with the rough-rider element of the great West and worked the game to a successful finish, even against the earn est opposition of Roosevelt himself. Roosevelt was Governor of New York and wanted another term. Platt didn't want him to have 1t; he had had enough. Never was there any doubt by those who knew the mans nature that Roosevelt
 actually sickened at the idea of being President. He knew PIatt's cunninv mir pose, but was it's victim in spite of him. self. He could not. after all resist the clamor which was music to his vanity's ear. and that Is how Teddy Is President and how he does not really feel satisfied until he has been elected by the people He was training as Governor of New York for prestige that would make him chosen and favored one of the people instead of the beneficiary of accident.

Accommodating MT. Moody.

When the Dolphin was at San Juan
 Porto Rico. with Secretary Moody and his friends aboard, many of the natives went on board to see the ship. One of them wanting a drink of water, turned to a man in white cap who was stand ing by the rail and told him to get him one. This was done, and a m sfrpber of the party who saw the incident turned to the Porto Rican and told that 1t was the American custom to tip man when nc did anyt.iing. ''It would have been much nicer in you if you had.T he said
 and especially as the man who got won the water was the Secretary of the Navy: The Porto Rican spent the next two days in apologizing to MT. Moody, who had thoroughly enjoy ed the joke,

fogsers, Plenty of these gentry will now devote themselves assiduously to a study of the local news columns and editorials of the State papers and any statement of fact or criticism that can be presumed to be offensive to anybody in the State will afford the basis of a libel suit, to which the attention of tho party mem toned will be immediately called. Such a law may result in making the respon- sibility of carrying on a newspaper in Pennsylvania an intolerable burden, and 1t is not surprising that the newspapers of the State propose to stand together and attack the law on the ground of its unconstitutionality. They will also de- mand it's modification by the next Legis- lature.

Hanna and Herrick.

Mark Hanna's resignation to his own physical incompetency to undertake the race for the nomination for President which his admirers yearn for him to have Is not without its consolation. He has made known with his acquiescence in the Roosevelt inevitable that he has a man in Ohio whom he would like to see on the ticket in the second place. That man is Myron T. Herrick of Cleveland.
 MT. Roosevelt has been apprised of Sem ator Hannas partiality for MT. Herrick and 1t is said regards the Cleveland man with appreciation; indeed. a cabinet of- ficer has said that the President is ready to give the idea his unqualified endorse ment.

The guaranteed net pad circulation of the Daily and Sunday Advertiser continues to grow. The sworn detailed ngures for the month of April. just passed. emphasize The Advertisers oft-r .peated statement that it's guaranteed net paid circulation is greater than the actual issue of any other two Ala pam4 morning newspapers combined. Taking this Tact, in connection with the high class or the paper's readers, into consideration. 1t is no wonder The Advertiser prints larger volume Of advertising. local and foreign, day by day, than either of its State morning con- temporartas. and at a higher rate per inch.

Besides the material benefit to the farmers purse, good roads tend to broaden his horizon. They are aids to free delivery and those sections where good roads prevail are the first to re- ceive the benefit of this boon; they mean longer school terms for the farmer 8 children; freer humaU intercourse, and a raising of his standards. Good roads are a true blessing to the farmer.

A FEW REMARKS.
The Roanoke Leader is good enough

The Roanoke Leader is good enough to say:
 Even those who hold somewhat diverg- ent views from The Montgomery Adver- tiser cannot begrydge that paper the qualification 1t feels and manifests as Cleveland, begins again to loom so pom derously upon the political horizon. The Advertiser has been a faithful advocate of the policies represented by the former President and an ardent admfrer. of the man, and a little self-congratulation would be allowable. The Advertiser will fall in line all right and support some more available candidate when the sea son of interchanging compliments is past.
 The Advertiser feels that 1t can con- sistentIy claim that 1t is not given to self-giorification, but it does claim that it is Justified in feeling some degree of pride over its loyalty to the man whom we really look on as the greatest Demo- cratic statesman now living. It is not simply a matter of pride that our faith in him has never faltered, and that we have stood by him and defended him when the press of the South, which should have been loyal to him for all that he did for our section, was almost solidly against him. We have never yet lost our faith in, the sense of justice of the American people, nor have we doubted that the Democracy. especially of the South, would eventually see the injustice that has been done Mir. Cleveland. and would get back to the good opinion for merly held of him. Time at last sets al 1trn kind, and The Advertiser is proud to know that its faith has been justified and that the people are admitting it. The Leader does us but simple justice when it says that The Advertiser will fall in line after the nomination is made. Whether the nominee shall be some more available candidate we do not know. There may not be a more available man, or there may be several. That is to be decided after full and free discussion but whoever he is, we have an abiding faith that he will be a man whom all cheerfully rally to. We have very little fear that any dish of crow will be passed around for our delectation, but if it comes. we shall digest it as we'll as some others will. We have had more than one helping of that diet during a somewhat protracted experience in journalism, and have always survived it. And so. wheth- CT the nominee shall be MT. Cleveland or some one like him. or whether it shall be one of entirely different mould and character, we shall put in some of the best blows we know how to strike. The thing is to defeat the Republicans next year, and we propose to help do 1t.

While it may be somewhat presump- tious for a newspaper man to tell farm CTS what they ought to do, it is always in order, we take 1t, to tell them what oth- CTS have done, Consequently we clip from an exchange these evidences of profitable hog-raisfng in Missouri
 J. H. Preston. of near Skidmore, has eleven sows which have had 126 pigs this year. of which ninety-two are living. As yearlings, trey would sell for $2.O00. Au- gust Neuffer, in the same nefghborhood has one SOW which in ten years born 165 pigs. of which 152 have been raised or are maturing, and she Is almost due to have another litter. But Lon Lant, of Atehison County. lays these records in the shade with a story of one of his sows which had thirty-five pigs in thir- teen months As yeaclings. these pigs at present prices would be worth $SO0-very fair receipts from the produce of one SOW in little more than a year.
 Doesn't that look as if there Is profit in hogs? If there were plenty of farmers like those, the time would soon come when meat and other hog products would not sell at practically prohibitive figures

Gossip from Washington

People who come to Washington from the country around and particularly from the South express themselves as sick and tired of all this negro talk and would be glad never to hear 1t mentioned, but since the Roosevelt administration began to make manifest its vote-getting mission with its inevitable honeying of the blacks. the whites see no hope of escape until another and entirely different adminis- tration comes and rests it's endorsement upon the white people of the country.
 Swanson Lees Horse.
 Representative Claude Swanson of vir- ginia, who is in the city, sees in the re- vival of Cleveland talk just now a har- binger of Democratic hopefulness and success regardless of the possibility of his nomination for President. MT. Swan son believes that the next Democratic convention will contain three distinct ele- ments. One will be the following of Col onel Bryan. the second for MT. Cleveland, and the third for conservative platform and Democrat who will not be as a red rag to the bull of either of the other two. The third element, Mir. Swanson believes. will control the convention.
 Touching his personal preference. the Virginia Congressman names Senator German first and Judge Parker second. Either man." said Mir. Swanson today, 'can carry New York State. Parker is strong where German is weak. That is to say, he has practically no public rec ord. and it cannot be gainsaid that Sem ator German would be attacked because of assisting legislation that was offensive to low tariff Democrats"
 Mir. Swanson believes that the Demo crats, with Parker as the head of the ticket and Middle Western man next, with German managing the campaign suc- cess would be highly probable.
