SAT DOWN ON BossIsM.

The chances for Democratic success in Maryland were somewhat endangered by reason of the effort of what is called the
 Organization to ignore the candidacy of Mir. Rayner for United States Senator ship. The Organization" in Baltimore is a little longer word than the real one which is "boss." MT. Rayner made an appeal to the people of his city and State and the result has been surprising. The program was for legislative candidates to go along without any commitment for Senator and then if elected to vote for the
 man picked out by the Organization, '
 who 1t seems Is the present Governor
 The appeal of MT. Rayner aroused the | voters of Baltimore to such an extent that ] they speedily made known their views | and it is now complacently announced
 that the City Committee now had nc | objections of any sort to candidates an- 1 swering in any way they thought fit the | questions that might be asked them in | regard to the United States Senatorship.' D This concession never would have been
 granted if MT. Rayner had not challenged
 the right of the bosses to bind candidates to vote for those 1t pleased the mighty few to dictate. The Baltimore Sun says: From the expressions of the candidates 1t was gathered that practically the whole delegation will indorse MT. Rayner. On all hands it is conceded that the de- cision of the Democratic organization to withdraw its opposition to MT. Rayner and allow the delegates to indorse him in accord with the sentiment among their constituents had greatly increased the chance of Democratic success in the city, both for the Legislative and city tickets. Had the indorsement been withheld, the leaders say, the impression that the whole thing had been fixed for Governor Smith would have become So strongly imbued in the public mind that the ticket would have suffered.
 Among city Democrats generally yester- day, particularly by the city candidates, qualification was expressed that the Ray ner situation had been solved by giving him the indorsement he had asked. The opinion was expressed that it has strengthened the ticket all along the line and that any other policy would have been fatal

WHAT MADE HIM GREAT.
Mobile Register.

4hODlle heRlSIer.
 Congressman Thompson of Alabama, believes MT. Cleveland can not be nom- mated because he displeased so many Democrats by refusing to give MT. Bryan his support; but MT. Thompson believes, also, that MT. Cleveland can be elected, if nominated, because he is the greatest living American, etc.
 This Is something of a slam upon the gone stand between their party and vic- tory, and decline to do honor to the greatest living American"
 Mir. Thompson's interference is that if he would now be the most popular man living. and would sweep the party, as we'll as the country, therefore. that 1t is a great pity MT. Cleveland was so short let lt'I us I1 look into I this a little. How about the followers and friends of Cleve- land who did support Bryan? Olney is the best of the lot. Where is Olney in caste with both wings of the-party? How about Adlai Stevenson? Who cares for Adlai now? Dave Hill was no friend of Cleveland's but he was a sound money man. Get telescope and see if you can find Dave Hill. Carter Harrison Is on the dump, and the rest of them are so far off we do not know where they are. Among those who have survived with reputation untarnishej are John G. Carlisle, Daniel s. Lamont and David R. Francis and MT. Cleveland himself-that is what makes him the great American. He would not sacrifice his principles to what appeared to be expediency
 It does not much matter what were the principles in the instance. It Is not his silent protests against Brayanism that has kept his fame bright but his un- willingness to pretend that he thought Bryanism good for the country he had the courage to stand out and become despsed by those who had professed to be his friends. That is always a grand action. and the world does not fail to pay homage to it.
 We venture the opinion that had MT. Cleveland f1ickered there would be no mention of him now. He did not flicker, and so the people are talking of having the steadfast man stand again for the presidency It Is a most natural thing, the result of the very actions that Mir Thompson thinks stand in the way of Mir. Cleveland's popularity.

WHAT CAN HE SAYp Says The Memphis Nes:

It is reported that President Roosevelt will discuss the divorce evil in his forth coming massage. and suggest uniform national law to remedy 1t. While 1t is a nothing to do. and while 1t will probably result in no definite action of any kind, 1t has more sense in 1t than many other subjects upon which he is so free to give advice, and will bring on a discussion that may result in good.
 We do not see what good can come from anything the President may say. for he can hardly say anything on the subject that will be new. The press and the pulpit, as well as public speakers and writers have discussed the inequalities of marriage laws and the evils of too easy divorce laws from every point of view that can be imagined and we doubt if anything the President may have to say will add anything to the force of what has already been said. As we understand it, Congress could not enact law governing either marriages or divorcesS unless all the States would con- sent to 1t. and 1t Is almost certain that some of them. at least, would not give up their right to regulate these matters for themselves.
 However this may be 1t must be admit ted that our present laws are unequal and illogical. A couple who are not allowed to marry in one State go over to another, get married and come back to their homes where they are free from molestation. In some cases marriage which Is valid and binding in one State Is not so in another and the pcrties would be liable to prose- cution If sy returned to the State from which thHy fled. All this is cause of much confusion, injustice and sometimes of real hardship. It would be a great thing If the marriage laws. requirements and conditions were the same throughout remedy the trouble.
 The same reasoning and objections ap- ply to divorces, perhaps in a greater de- gree. In some States 1t is almost impos- sible to obtain a divorce. and in others there is practically no difficulty about it, It is fact, too. that some of the States do not recognize dlvorces procured in other States. and it may happen that parties leaving one State to obtain d. vorces in another cannot return and live in the State from which they went. be- cause their divorce is not recognized as legal. This, also. is a source of confusion and sometimes of violations of law, but can Congress remedy the evil? We are curious to know what remedy. if any, the President will propose.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1e, 1903.
A SILLY THREAT.

The silly threat is made by Thomas l. Kidd, Vice-President of the American Federation of La6 6pr. that organized capital must stop it's raid on the savings Of, the trades unions or the union men will Withdraw 30O,OOO,OOO from the banks" It fS discouraging to find prominent union men indulging in such threats as this. If that amount of money should be with drawn from the banks it would embarrass some of them and might send some of them to the wall but MT. Kidd must be singulariy ignorant of facts if he thinks that .erganized capital" whatever that fs; would go to the wall on account of the Withdrawal of that sum from the banks The amount mentioned represents about une-tenth of the money deposited in the savings banks of the United States, to say nNkhing of the other banking operations atsd it's withdrawal would hardly be felt bx the coentry generally.
 But suppose the $500, O0o 900 of which Mir. Kidd speaks as being controlled by union labor should be withdrawn and should produce financial panic and a stringency in the money market. who would suffer? If there is such a thing as "organized capital those who control it would nat sirhIly stick to each other and would lose n0thIng but what of the 'laboring men TO put it in the form of a syllogism We may say: If there is no money there win he no building; if there is no building there will be no work. and if there is no work there will be nothing for the SUD- port of working men.
 This Is a fair statement Reports from reliable sources show that for the. las, mine months. compared with a similar De- ried of last year.. there has been a fall ing off in building of about $50 GOO. GOO. and this decrease is the direct result of strikes. iocSouts and other labor troubles which have had their natural and inevi- table effect on the industries of the coun- try. If The laboring men could bring on a Financial panic and money stringency by wathdras7ing their money from the banks lt would be themselves who would suf- fer by it. Such implied threats as that of Mir. Kidd are almost idiotic

Monroe County.

MOblIe ReRISter. =,
 The Monroe County Journal while not denying that there has been unusual law lessness in Monroe, denies that there IS a reign of lawlessness and savagery in that county. "Homicides in our county, while far below exaggerated reports, are becoming alarmingly frequent, while jus tice too often miscarries." says The Jour nal "At the same time. we doubt If there is a locality in the Union where the peaceabIe citizen enjoys greater security of person and property" The moral Is pointed out hy The Journal; although the conditions are not as bad as painted, they are bad enough to need an instant rem the county from the damaging criticism to which it is now exposed. As The Journal says. Public sentiment IS the creator and administrator of the law; Profoundly true. Monroe people should take this deeply to heart.

Properous Negroes.

SeTmN TINlNS.
 P. s. Bibh is agent for couple ot pig plantations over In Marengo, both of which. are rented by colored men. A few days ago they both came in to pay their rent. One of them produced a bag and counted out s7Oo in SEQ gold pieces and took up his rent notes and went on his way rejoicing. The other one paid down S2. 100 in New York exchange ana ms m dividual check on a local bank and ne; too, pocketed the notes due the lanulor9 I to with the balance of his crop. Both these colored men are well to do and have the respect of their neighbors. These kind of colored men down here Tn the black belt are not bothering thelr neaus about how many times Booker Washing ton and Teddv Roosevelt dine together.

the United Charities of Selma. the money to be expended for the needy colored peo- pie of the town. Although but small sum of money. 1t is given in the right spirit. The negroes will fare better when they learn that citizen Is not good one who simply takes out substance from the community; he must also give up something for the community. The more nearly his giving up approximates his taking out, the more nearly is he the ideal citizen. If one does nothing for his com munity, bears in no way the burdens of pect others who do bear the burdens to regard him as burden also. Let the negroes take their part in bearing the general burden, and they will gain ma terial part of the reward apportioned to burden bearers.

T. Thomas Fortune. in The New York Age, speaking of the faults and defects of the negro race, says:
 The structural inability of the negro race to accept any leadership and the de- sire of all sorts and conditions of men to lead, and the indisposition of any one ia follow. is distinctively the weakest ele- naent in the character of the race.
 We don't know how 1t Is among the ne- groes in Fortunes part of the world but one of their greatest weaknesses in this section is their disposition to follow any leader who will promise them something. It matters little whether the self-constI- euted leader is white or black, if he has a @aib tongue and a plausible manner he can lead a majority of the colored people fin almost any direction and to any extent he chooses. It may not be so in New York but that is the case down here.

 In your issue of this date you say: How Old is Ann. New York World.
 This Is the problem: =. Mary IS A years old, Mary is twice as olo as Ann was when Mary was as old as Ann is now. How old is Ann? The puzzle has come been seen and has conquered at Harvard University. It is mightier at tackle than football It has caught New England in its compelling grasp. Out of the figuring that 1t has evoked In the East the slate and pencil industries are expecting boom to banish all thoughts of winter of discontent, In Its simplicity is the alfuring strength or this problem. The statement of terms involves perfect frankness and no useless muitipiication of words, Mary is N years old, and so forth. Adorable Maryi But behold at the finish the leading question, How old is Ann?' Can you tell?
 l submit the following solution:
 Let x=the number of years elapsed be- tween the two dates of reckoning.
 AL the nrst date Ann was evidently F years Of age; and BLK must denote AK will denote Mary's age x years ago But Mary's age then Is equal to Anns present age. Therefore:
 2x=12
 x-6. the number years elapsed. Then since Ann was 12 years old 6 years ago. she is evidentlyf1s years of age now.
