A GOOD suaaEsrroN.

The interview with Congressman Un- derwood, printed in yesterdays Adver- tiser, is of interest just now. MT. Under wood Is a close observer and is in posi- ton to keep up with the trend of events in the political world, and what he says about MT. Olney as the man for the Dem ocrats to unite on is not idle specula- ton.
 It Is something of reflection on politi. cal principles in this country that the success of any party should depend on the condition of the country, but 1t is a fact, nevertheless. If the country during the next eighteen months should be visi- ted by some great financial and indus trial disaster; if there should be great scarcity of money, many people out of work, suffering and discomfort all over the country, the party in power would be held responsible for it. The people are fckle in some respects and in the event ould have to bear all the blame and the Democrats would be easy winners.
 But if, on the other hand, good times and prosperity continue, there will be an almost general disposition to give the administration credit for 1t and a conse- case the only hope for Democracy Is to unite on some such man as Olney and on the principles he represents. Bryan and Bryanism are impossible. We may as well make no nomination and let the cleo ton go by default as to repeat the last two blunders. With such man and such a platform failure is assured.
 The Advertiser has more than once ex- pressed the opinion that MT. Cleveland is the man to lead the party to victory, but we confess there are reasons why his nomination would not be best, and those reasons have no other foundation than those of policy. While we might say, with General Bragg, that we love him for the enemies he has made" we are | compelled to take into account the infu- ence of those enemies. By his uncom- promising devotion to the principles of sound Democracy. he has created antag- onisms in his party which cannot be ignored or overcome. In short we fear that the party could not unite on him.
 With Mr. Olney the case would be dif- ferent. He also, stands for old d-time Democracy just as MT. Cleveland does, but he has not the same prejudices and feelings to combat that the ex-President has, He is an able man, clean man and l l., At.. the term. With such man as he, and a complete ignoring of the political follies of the recent past, the Democrats may go into the campaign with hope of sue cess The only hope is to get back to where we were ten years ago. with @ man who represents the Democracy Of | that period and a platform in harmony l with his principles. The candidate may not, probably will not, be MT. Cleveland, but must be some man of his sort, and OIney is that kind of man.

PATTERSON ROLLERS FIRE"

 The smart set of the East is like a hro in certain district; the house, or houses aflre are doomed; there Is no saving them, so the energies or the Iorce are bent to the rescuing of the adjacent tene- ments.

DouBLE GOLDEN gYMBoL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses cer- tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole leld of newspaperdom which comes under it's notice. and one of these signs is the mystic symbol 9l denoting golden" which stands for high quality. and is thus explained:
 .Adyertissrs value this paper more for the class and quality of It's circulation than for the mere number of copies printed
 Such papers are credited with a single sym boI; but there is higher grade. according to this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL [ W to describe adequately their standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol 0ol and is the only paper 50 distinguished in this section of the South.

Enormous Gain for the Better.

Uniontown Herald.
 The. Board of Inspectors can now carry out directly their plans for the ameliora- uon Of these unhappy creatures. It has no longer to make suggestions to others to that end. This is an enormous gain for the better for the humanitarian ele- ment of the State, The Inspectors must now be responsible for the maltreatment of the convicts if it exist. They can3ot void it. They cannot impose it upon the shortcomings of others. And in all gov ernment direct responsibility is always a great gain. We are glad to see that the present board is willing to assume the burden. It shows that they are good men actuated by the best principles.

Lord Mansfeld's Horses Turned Out

The Horseman.

Lord % Mansfield. the famous Lord Chief Justice of England had bitter prejn- dice against horse dealers, when, lt IS said, had Is rise in bitter disappoints ment he had experienced at the hanas or one of them. When he was appointed Lord Chief Justice in 1856. he wished 10 have four black horses, without a WI wnlfe iLe Sy fonnd and 'ap approyed, 5SS for they were hand
 some horses and just what the Lord Chief Justice wanted. The price, of course. was a heavy one; 1t always is under sucn CIT cumstances. For a time all went, well
 and his lordship was well sausned wlth his bargain. Then one horse began 10 develop a white star, and another a white fetlock, and another was dishgured by a white blaze-indeed. in all of them in one place, or another, the hated white ap- peared. .,.

The discovery that lemon juice will kill typhoid fever germs Is one that should have been made long ago. Everybody who knows what people ought to know is aware of the improvement which a judi cious application of lemon juice will make to various connections, and to learn that a little of it added to water contain ing germs will at once put them out business is a pleasant addition to our stock of knowledge. Now we know an other use for lemons besides those to which we have heretofore put them.

TEXAS RICE INDUSTRY GROWS.
ST. Louis Has Firm Hold on Trade,
Beaumont Visitor Says.

Sam Park. president of the Beaumont
CTex1 Chamber of Commerce and one of
the largest lumber dealers of the South
west, arrived in st. Louis yesterday and is
registered at the Planters Hotel. Mr.. Park
says that his city is now enjoying large
share of the general prosperity of the coun-
try and is building as fast as material and
labor can be secured
Beaumont is peculiarly Fortunate said
Mr.. Park. TO start with, we had splendid
timberlands. Later 1t was discovered that
rice would grow well on the fiat territory
adjacent. On top OF these advantages oil
was discovered, SO that there is no lack of
business. Beaumont is close to st. Louis in
a business way. other cities have tried to
cut into the business, but 1t Is Il difficult
matter to wean business men away from
81 Louis.
Last year 1900 acres of rice were plant
ed in the county in which Beaumont is To-
Gated. This year considerable more than
that will be planted. The census in 1909
gave us something over $500. Now a con-
servative estimate of the population is 3d.
coo. What Is most interesting the citizens
of Beaumont now is deep water. This We
hope to obtain in the near future"
