Quit the Association Because of It.


 The criticisms that are now being thrust at the Secretary of the State Press Association by The Advertiser and many other newspapers in connection with the recent press excursion, are nothing short of what that official might have reasona- bly, expected. A reform has been needed for several years and We apprehend that 1t will now some. The secretary is not the only one who deserves criticism and investigation. Those persons who bar tered the transportation that was given to them by the railroads purely compli- mentary are as culpable as MT. Rountree but he is not blamable for the acts of such persons. If he is guilty of making money outsof the excursion he cannot be too strongly condemned. Numbers of editors have quit tho Association because their sense of honor would not permit them to remain in an organization where such evils were winked at, and the writer was among the number. The Weekly Press Association to be organized in Monttigomery next month will be strictly a business organization and will merit the cooperation of every publisher in the State to make it a success.

The Secretary "Fixed" It.

The Secretary "Fixed" It. Huntsville Mercury.
 The newspaper men of Alabama will study the correspondence between Cap tain Falkner and Secretary Rountree, Of the Alabama Press Association, with deep and abiding interest, Captain Falkner charges that the courtesies extended by the railroads have been abused and Sec retary Rountree virtually admits that the charge is true.
 The Mercury has frequently protested aginst the apparent abuse of courtesies extended by the railroads. On one oc- casion 1t suggested that appearances in- dicated that Secretary Rountree was pro- fitting financially by the excursions intend ed for bona fde members of the press gang. Of course Mir. Rountree protested against such suggestion and there the matter ended.
 It apears Certain that many of the par- ticipants in the Canadian trip had no transportation whatever. Now such d condition of affairs warrants the belief that MT. Rountree smoothed the way for the intruders. If not, how did they pro- ceed on their journey? The railroads would never have carried a dozen extras without some arrangement. thus the con- clusion that MT. Rountree fixed" it.
 1t Is too bad that MT. Rountree is mixed up in such an unpleasant affair, but he has only himself to blame. Instead of abetting the abuse of couftesies. he of all men should have insisted upon fair play for the railroads.

ROASTING ROUNTREE.
The State Papers Are After Him Hard and Hot.

all instances. We understand that the most common way of getting around the rules of the association and the railroads is for the publisher to make application for himself and then allow someone else to represent him or his paper. It occurs to us that a better way to remedy the evil would be to amend the. laws of the association so that any member who vio- lated the rules of the association could be expelled.
 There was a time when nothing was thought of an editor allowing some one else to represent his paper when he could been abused until the trips are composed of about as many non-newspaper people as boa fide editors. The resolution passed at Mobile stopped some from this abused privilege, if a privilege 1t was. It should have stopped all, but 1t did not.

ton which was issued them through courtesy and with this sort of ethics 1t would not be strange that Mir. Hountree himself was imposed upon to some extent. We prefer to take that charitable view.
 There is no excuse for newspaper to sell It's passes on the railroads and we hope that the Louisville and Nashville the road that has been done great wrong-will manage to remember these journalistic frauds In the future.
 If the Alabama Press Association con- tinues 1t will have to make radical change in it's official family. We think it would be a good idea to call the As sociation together at once for that pur- pose.

Washington. d. C.. Oct. a6.-Thc re-
port Of the Commission on intcrna-
tionai Monetary Exchange has been
made public Mt the State Department.
The commission agrees that the use OF
silver In large quantities cannot be dis
continued. but thinks that the free
coinage of the white metal could be
stopped with advantage. IL agrees up
on the soundness of tho proposition
urging the establishment of n definite
gold exchange ratio in the present silver
using countries. and the belief Is ex-
Dressed in the report that the estab-
iishmcnt of such a standard would
contribute greatly to the economic
progress Of those countries.
The tenor of the commissions report
IL that the various countries should not
purchase more silver than Is required
to supply their actual demands. and
that these purchases should be Mt reg
ular intervals. II was agreed upon the
mart of Ave of the powcrs-Germany.
France. the Netherlands. Mexico and
the United States-that the best meth
cd was to begin the issue OF new cur
rency at a fiSed gold parity. while up
on the part of Great Britain and Rus
sia there was disposition to favor be-
ginning on n silver basis with the view
OF first supplying the country with a
uniform currency and then giving II.
within a short interval. a fixed gold
value.
The countries having dependencies
or interests in the Orient suggested
ratio OF 30 to /. This rate. however,

22nd says:
State Engineer Carpenter is planning
to have the first surveys on all OF the
state roads authorized by the Legisla-
ture completed before winter. One
hundred and twenty thousand dollars
Is available for the construction OF
state roads and bridges. and the work
IL being carried on as rapidly as the

do IL.
There are now under construction

great deal OF the work has to be done
In solid rock.

si,5OO to the Concjos oil Company Tor
the sinking oil an artesian well at Man
assa. Conclos county. Bids had been
advertised for end they were opened
yesterday. The well is to be sunk 500
feet. IL is not expected that the water
will flow from the well but IL can be
brought within few feet OF the sur
face. A meeting of the Las Animns
county board for the construction OF
an artesian well was held. but owing To
the fact that the representative from
the county was not present the bids
were not opened.
The board OF construction OF the Rio
Grande and concjos county road met
and bids were asked for a portion OF
the road above Jasper. This road has
been repaired below Jasper. but bids
are TO be asked for on the new road.
The board OF construction of the Cos
iilla county bridge over the Rio Grande
river will ask for bids. The bridge Is
to be six miles east OF Monte Vista and
is to be 2iO feet long and Will be built
either In two or three spans.
The surveys OF the La Plata county
road has been completed. and the sur
ycy on the Dolores county road has
been completed but not accepted. while
the Telluride road will be taken up
