theory to account for the Wilmington lynchins. Soon after that event he made this statement:
 Our city Is in a perilous condition, and | the entihe State also as a result of the | lynching. Mobs of both colors have had | possession of our streets every night for a week. The most of the entire trouble lies in the lawless political elements in the city. MT. AddicKs has SO influenced contempt for law and order. that 1t is | not to be wondered at that we must now | reap the harvest. The blacks have been anything. They have been shown by the wholesale vote-buying and political cor ruption that the law can be evaded and justice trampled under foot. Such a course of corruption must bear fruit. 1 | can tell If the trouble is over or merely l beginning. but the blacks would better | be careful.
 To charge that the recent crime and its swift and terrible punishment are legiti- mate results of the Addicks brand ofpoli- tics may appear little far-fetched, bt 1t is not really so. As The Hartford, Conn, Times says:
 Where vote buying is open and inces- sant at all elections as in Delaware and Rhode Island. the negro voter naturally learns to regard himself as above and out of the reach of the law. The effect of Addicksism has undoubtedly been most demorali2ing upon the people of both races in Delaware. If the existing demor- alization in that State is to be cured, the first thing to be done is to deprive the boss corruptionist of the favor which he now enjoys from the leaders of the Re publican Party in Washington.
 The Times wonders how General Will sons explanation as to the cause of the brutal crime of White will strike MT. Roosevelt, for instance who has felt it his duty to give what help he could to the political schemes of Addicks during the past two years" We presume that the President will hardly feel that he is in any degree. directly or indirectly, to blame for the recent occurrences, but there is certainly some connection, If General Wilson is right in his explana- tions. It must be apparent that if the methods pursued by Mir. Addicks caused feeling among the negroes which led to the crime of White, then some of the preliminary blame must rest on the Pres ident who has stood behind Addicks and virtually endorsed his acts by upholding his political aspirations.
 Of course 1t will not be charged that MT. Roosevelt would knowingly do any thing that would lead to such a crime. or that he could anticipate such a result from an effort to force Addicks on the people of Delaware. but certainly the reasoning of Wilson would reach back to the President and make him particeps criminis. though remotely SO
 Leaving all that out of the argument. however. we do not by any means con slider 1t violent assumption to claim that the debauchery of politics, as practiced in Delaware for a number of years. is di- rectly responsible for the crime and ex- ecution of White. While that cause might not influence an orderly negro to commit a crime 1t certainly would tend to bring

J. W. Norton, agent of the superanuat- ed homes committee of the North Ala bama conference. was in the city this week. On Sunday before large congre- gation at the First Methodist Church. he stated the object of his mission and was greatly pleased with the generous re- sponse of the people to his plea for help n establishing homes for the superanuat- ed preachers of the Methodist Church. A collection was taken up and $625 in money was subscribed, F. M. Cottle donated twenty acres of land and Joe s. Moragne gave a building lot. pr. Norton was so impressed with the liberality of the peo- pie of Gadsden that he appointed a com mtttee consisting of F. M. Cottle, J. E. Blackwood. T. G. Swing. Joe s. Moragne and s. S. Caldwell to build a home at once.
 This plan to provide homes for the su- peranuated preachers of the North Ala bama Conference is something new and was originated at the last conference by J. E. Morris, who lives near Saginaw near Birmingham. Mir. Norris built tha first home and housed the first superan- uated and he Is now paying the salary and expenses of the agent of the com mittee. The Gadsden home will be a neat one and the Gadsden church will have the naming of the one who will occupy It.

to his old and helpful friend, General

to his old and helpful friend, General Corbin.
 Several weeks ago, when Secretary Root announced one morning that he would that afternoon bulletin the names of the general staff there were bets that Corbin would not be on the stan. But the announcement was not made that day. nor for two weeks later. Meantime Gen. eral Corbin's numerous and powerful pull got busy. Ills political friends reminded the administration how Corbin had or- ganized the army for the war with Spain. HIS opponents decrying his ability sought to have htme retired with the glittering inducement of rank as lieutenant gem eral But the power-loving Corbin re- tected the idea and fought for more pres tige and potentiaiity in the active ser- vice.
 Corbin carried his point in so far that Bliss was placed at the head of the war college, while Carter and Corbin were as- signed to the general staff. Secretary Root. at the last moment, had yielded to the pressure for Corbin. A tentative un- the Philippines. while Corbin is to re- main as of old at the seat of government.
 The great question in army circles now Is who will be the controlling spirit of the general stan. General Young admits that he has no ambition in that direction and frankly confesses lack of taste there for. Then will come the tug of war, when Young is out, between Garter and Corbin and there is not an officer in the army who Is not greatly interested in what promises to be very pretty game of military politics between two officers of exceptional ability.
