AN ENFORCED REPENTANCE.

The New York Post may always be ex- pected to stand by Roosevelt when 1t Is possible to do so. but all the same it does not hesitate to speak plainly on occa- sion. as fin the following from last Fri days issue:
 When President Roosevelt read the riot act to the Delaware Senators yesterday he voiced public feeling in regard to Ads dicks. The Senators were pickering ,,sd the to ans the President fiatly told them that Ad- dicks factionalism was bringing discredit upon his administration, and that was the bald truth, even if trifie late How ever keen the grief of the eminent ma chinists he addressed and of Senators Hanna and Quay and Postmaster Gen eral Payne. the rank and file of all par ties will be heartily glad to see the Pres ident cut loose entirely from Addicks. The corruption in the Postoffice Bureau ident is doing his best to bring t3e thieves to justiee--is an indeiible stain upon the Republicap Administration. Neither as an individual nor as Pr.-'dent himself by further dailiace with Addicks The Byrne appointment and the Todd case have already troubled deeply the minds even of Mir. Roosevelt's warmest
 
 to bring forth fruits meet for repentance, and to put off the old man Addicks with his deeds.
 That Is well enough. as far as 1t goes, but 1t Is entirely too lenient. The Post should have stated. what is apparent to all who have kept up with recent events that the Presidents proposed change of policy with regard to the Delaware scan- dals is not caused by his sense of de- cency and right but has been brought about solely by public opinion. He has Addicks is and has had ample oppor- tunities to inform himself of the dirty politicians in control of the Republican Party in that State. He knows what Ad- dicks Is and what Addicksism stands for. He knows that the appointment of Byrne was indsfensible and that the removal of Miss Todd was an outrage. All this Roosevelt knows and has known. but he made no move to put down the disreput- able conditions prevailing in that State.
 But there has of late been such an ex- ploitation Of public sentiment. both by Republicans and Democrats, that even his tough cutiele hns been perforated. and he gives 1t out that there is to be change of policy as regards Delaware, at least. neither he has the moral and political courage to cut loose from Ad- dicks and his gang. and thus to frown on that kind of politics. not only Tn Del aware but in other States, remains to be seen. If he does it he is pretty sure to give offence to all the spoilsmen of his party and possibly lose their support. If hs does 1t he will be entitled to credit. but he would have been entitled to much more If he had done t in obedience to a liking for honesty and decency in poli- tics instead of making it plain that he Is actuated by the demands of an outraged public sentiment.

Neglecting Its Opportunity.

The New York Sun says that The Louis vile Courier-JOurnal has the opportunity of life time" if 1t will make good the following statement that recently appear ed in The Courler-Journars columns:
 We see appeals for delay; urgings for d new treaty; plans for a Colombian rev Olution and the secession of Panama; anything, everything, to make good the $2O, 0OO,0OO to the thieves in France, and the S2G. COG. 900 to the thieves in America com pleting the sum agreed upon in the Spoon CT act"
 Who are the French thieves? Who are the American thieves? asks The Sun.
 The Boston Herald con ments also, as- sorting that not scintilIa of fact can be advanced in support of such asser- ton.
 The Courier-Journal of last Friday makes reply to The Herald, and neglects it's opportunity. That newspaper Is con- tent to query The Herald. saying: Can could be passed at Washington without somebody tapping 1t, both before and during and after Its passage?"
 Then follows column of entertaining Watersonian history of the canal project and negotiations. but nothing Is offered raised than does the passage above quot ed. Finally, The Courier-JOurnal says:
 If The Herald wants specifications VI. have them in plenty If 1t wants statisti- cal information. we are prepared to fur nish 1t. But let 1t revise it's own judg- ments as to his Panama business"
 We suggest that 1t is apparent that il The COurler-Journal wants to cOnVice The Herald it should produce the speci. tiHations. Not The Herald only. but al for the information and quite agree wltf The Sun that The Courier-Journai has tn, opportunity of life time Now Is tho time! Produce the goods.

TEACHING THE LIMIT.

According to contemporary the walk ing delegates who control labor unions in Ney York ''have notified the Building reoartment of the Board of Education 4hat unless all non-union men now em- ployed on the school buildings are immer aiately discharged a general strike VIII he ordered and all work on the necessary school structures brought to stop.
 Thus it goes. Each day those who con- 4ra, the unions and the men who belong to them go step further in the dnect'oh of an unbearable limit. That limit ousu' to have been passed before now IL is the duty of every government natioha'' municipal and State. to ignore and retuse absolutely to comply with any demand made by the walking delegates or any or their kind. Every governmental coFpor- alton or organization should be "nohS i,npartial in employing. retaining anu having men, It should give work to com retent men, whether union or non-unioh' and should firmly refuse to discharge or refuse employment to any man on the xround that he does not belong to the union. Nay, it should go further. ana .vhansver the unions or walking delegates ,,,a,xe A demand that non-union men must ha discharged the reply should be the dis charge of the union men who make such a demand.
 If sucb demands as those made in New York are to be complied with there can he no freedom or independence of govern ment in these United States. President Roosevelt did exactly right when he re- fused to allow Miller discharged from the Government printing office merely oe- cause he was a non-union man. All governments. from that at Washington down. should follow exactly the same line of conduct that the President did. otherwise government is farce We do not know what the Building Department referred to Tn the paragraph quoted has done It may be that the exigencies of the times will force a compliance with the insolent demands of the walking del egates, but 1t is hoped not We hope those having the work in hand will be able to complete it without assistance from unions or union labor. It would treat the latter as they deserve If 1t can be done. But we repeat that the limit of patience and endurance has almost been reached.

Mr. London,s One rav.

Editor The Advertiser:
 The action of Hoa. Alex T. London in tSn tSui,,ng ,sg 10 accept pay as a member of than he actually served appears to have created some comment among certain ciasses s ot our people. Why should the Did he not follow and obey the law as by ms oath. taken when he took his seat in ,ne leSlsiature, he was bound to do. The laMs n,s or our State appear to be very to be understood by our lawmakers. Section 2Z26 of the present code of Ala bama In providing for the pay of mem oers or oi the Legislature expressly says: ply shall receive four dollars for each days attendance" etc.
 IT this means anything it certainly means that when a member of the Legis- ,ature does not attend any days session ne Is not entitled to pay for the day or oays on which he does not attend And 10 make this meaning clear and beyond follows, "
 If; in consequence of sickness, any member Is detained, after leaving home m going to the seat of government. or Is unable to attend the House. or Senate, after he arrives there. he Is entitled to the same pay as an attending member" :" s,ne ne Leglslators are the agents of the state TOT certain purposes, and the com state the principal of said agents at the time the agency begins. and what right nave said agents to violate said law as to right to violate any other law as long as II remains on the statute book?
 what right has 2 legislator to absent himself from the duties fixed upon him pay him certain amount, and then claim and receive from the State that which the state agrees to pay only upon condi- ton that he attends to said duties and Is attendance fhA af hA Legislature?
 If member is sick and is thereby pre- vented from attending 10 his duties then the law. in it's. humanity, excuse such absence and at the same time provides that such sick member shall receive his pay, and sickness is the only cause named in the law which excuses d memDer from vides for his receiving pay If a mem Der absents himself from the daily ses- sions of the Legislature for the purpose of attending to his own private business. or for any other cause satisfactory to himself. except sickness. what right eith- CT in law. justice or common sense. has such member to claim and receive from sent2
 But some one will say that such member is absent with leave; but then 1t may be asked what right has one agent or any agent from duties enjoined by the princi- pal and at the same time say to the agent excused our principal will pay you for the service not rendered?
 The age we live in appears to be an age of spells and graft. and 1t also ap- pears to be very hard for men to keep themselves unspotted from the world, and to discriminate between 'meum'' and "tuum."
 glory in the principle set by Mir Lon- don In his action in this matter and trust that said principle may bring forth much fruit in it's more general observance in every department of public and private life. Justice,

The absurd referendum" idea lately had a fair trial in New Jersey and the result was about what might have been expected. The Legislature passed an act to change the judiciary system of the State. but provided that the law should be referred back to the people for their approval before it should become effect i've. They held the election on the 22nd of September. and only ene-fifth of the voters of the State took enough interest in the matter to go to the polls and vote, Of those who did go a majority voted against the proposed change.
 Here was a fair test of the Populistlc referendum plan. and 1t is fair to pre- sume that if tried elsewhere the result would be about the same. The people elect men to the Legislature to make the laws for them and will not trouble them selves to turn out at another election to vote on what their lawmakers have done.

A queer example of one-sided justice where negroes and whites are concerned recently occurred in Kansas City. A negro lawyer murdered another negro in cold blood, but the court only gave him two years in the penitentiary About the same time that the murder was comnlit- ted another regro waylaid and robbed u white woman, and for that crime the court sentenced him for ten years. This indicates that it is five times as great a crime for a negro to rob a white person as it is for one negro to kill another. at least in Kansas City.
