It is Coming Across.

Birmingham Ledger.
 The Montgomery Advertiser says: "It is utterly useless to argue with all the Democrats who voted for Mir Bryan be- lieved in him or his financial theories " That Is true saying and worthy of all acceptation. There were thousands of us who were for the party not for any man There are hundreds of thousands of us who are exactly that way today. Some ct us voted for Bryan. but We do not in. tend that he shall be the party dictator Some of us were for Cleveland. and we do not intend that he shall be the party dictator.
 There are about 4OOO, 900 of us right now who are ready to support the party nom inee but we want him on a platform with about as few blanks as any plat form ever had. and we want 1t up-to date and looking forward.

A Righteous Verdict.

Selma Times.
 Mayor Atkins yesterday fined man $50 and bound him over to await the ac- ton of the grand jury for insulting and striking a young woman who makes her living clerking in a restaurant on Ala bama Street This verdict will be approv- ed by every man, woman and child in Selma who respects womanhood.
 When insulted the young woman alluded to used the strength that God had i'm parted to her. and threw a cup and cut a deep gash in the face of the man who had used the language toward her.
 It Is right that MaVor Atkins made

Democrats Innnisitiue.

The temper of Democratic Congressmen who have been coming to Washington these troublous scandal-breeding days is decidedly inquisitive. They are in favor of Investigating committees. Now that somebody has started the telling of de- partmental maladministration, volunteers are turning up on every hand with aver ments. The War Department. the Navy Department, the Interior Department
 with the landof1ce and the pension office all these according to not uncommon report are just as rotten as the places where Beavers and Machen and Perry Heath flourished, and fattened and bat tened and boodled. And may be they are

 Abou Ben Adhem.
 (By Leigh Hunt.) Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increaseD Awoke one night from a deep dream of
 peace. And saw within the moonlight in his
 room, Making 1t rich, and like a lily in bloom An angel writing in book of gold Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold. And-to the presence in the room he said {: What writest thou?" The vision raised
 it's head. And with look made all of sweet accord, Answered: The names of those who love
 the Lord" And is mine one?' said Abou Nay, not
 sol" Replied the angel Abou spoke more low, But cheerly still, and said. pray thee,
 then, Write me as one who loves his fellow
 men" The angel wrote, and vanishde; tbe next
 night It came again with a great wakening light. And show'd the pames whom love of
 God had blessed, And To! Ben Adhems name led all the

A GOOD INVENTION.

Trust a Yankee for inventing some thing that is needed. Quite while ago it was said of the Yankee that when any work was to be done he would in- vent a machine to do 1t and then invent machine to make the other machines Whenever there is real and actual need of something there is Yankee genius ready to invent it. and if he can't do it thepe's something wrong with the combi- nation.
 The latest invention to fill that long-felt want of which we have heard so much is new kind of keyhole. It might be where it differs from most others. He had to invent. new brand of lock, it is true, but theN keyhole was what he was most interested in and his invention consists in putting the keyhole in the knob of the lock.
 Isn't it great scheme? If there is any supposedly stationary object that can entirely obliterate itself more readily and effectually than a kcyhole in davk front door no man has made it's acquaintance. It is as elusive as a fat>offce and as hard ! to find as an honest politician in Phil | adelphia. Sometimes a man reaches his front door after the lights are out, and when he Is full of solemn thoughts and other things. He butts up against the front door. draws out his key with as much self f-confidence as if he were bet ting on poker game and makes a jab at the place where the keyhole ought to be; but is it there? Well, not gener- for any good it does kim, and after punching the paint full of specks all over tbe neighborhood he generally yells for some one to come and let him in. Such an experience lessens a mans confidence in himself and In the stability of inan- swear on such occasions.
 This new invention remedies all this Any man with sense enough to run for office can get his hand on the door knob, because it sticks out and can't dodge. If the keyhole is planted in the knob he holds on to the latter to keep the hole from running off. and forces 1t to give up the hidden opening, It cant get away while he is holding 1t and he stands a fair chance to introduce the key and key hole to each other before he exhausts himself. It's a great scheme, and the only improvement We can suggest is to have both key and lock so highly nag netized that they will attract each other like youthful idler and a summer girl

Walter Mayer, Inspector.

Walter Mayer, the postoffice inspector who has won fame by his clever inves- tigation of the Machen and kindred ir- regularities in the Postoffice Department, has worked good deal in the South. He spent some time in Alabama, making headquarters in Birmingham and Mont gomery. He married Miss Laura Scheede of Eufaula, and now lives in Chicago. He is son of Adolph Mayer, and a nephew of Charles and Louis Mayer, well reembered in Huntsville and Mobile
 Representative Clayton of Alabama, was District Attorney when Inspector Mayer worked successfully several fraud cases in Alabama. MT. Clayton is will ling to wager most anything that Mayer Is on the true scent in every instance. Mayer Is not talking, but those who are posted on the discoveries of the investiga- ton so far say that enough has been found to show that the stealing in a wholesale way in the Postofice Depart ment has been going on for more than ten years; that in that time the Depart ment has had the disbursement of a bil- lion dollars, and the Lord only knows what the rake-off has been.
 Both Beavers and Machen had the handling of large sums of money for con ttngent expenses, and 1t is doubted that their lack of scruple in other particulars of fduciary sort overlooked the cash in hand.

Within the past six months there has been a slump in the price of securities dealt in on the Stock Exchanges, amount ing to over $500. 900 900. That is va st sum of money and represents in part over capitalization Many of these stocks rep resent capitalization at three and four times of value and the demand for money has been the cause of the water being squeezed out of many of them. This is great and prosperous country. but one great evil is the investing of so much money in fictitious and speculative stocks. The people are made to suffer in the long run because the effort is made in many instances to earn dividends on water:

What Moore Says.

Among the recent frequent callers at the White House is Charles A. Moore, presi- dent of the American Protective Tariff League. MT. Moore has been here to tell the President that the fight against keep ing pledges to Cuba must be continued. Also the e1nissary of the protec ton people has sought to impress upon MT. Roosevelt that to call an extra session early in November will be a mistake, and that If he takes that step he will alienate some of his strongest personal friends in New York. But the President is reported as committed to the extra session not only for the cause of Cuban reciprocity, but to enable Aldrich and his colleagues to pass their finance bill before December But 1t appears to be overlooked in some quarters that there is a wide and sharp diversity of opinion even among the Re- publicans of the House on the finance subject. That was made manifest in the discussion of a scheme in the last Con- gress for the Philippines.

  few weks ago.
 Wyoming was brought here by select hostler and taught how to behave himself in city. To his credit 1t is generally remarked that he bears himself most decorously, notwithstanding the unrural sounds and sights of the streets. He pays no more attention to a red-devil on wheels and snorting smoke and weird odors than if 1t were a sheep gamboll- ing on the prairie. Wyoming Is said to be very much of a gentleman of a horse. with far more dignity than his master. Wyoming will also go to Oyster Bay. The President has been obliged to leave some of his playthings behind. Most of the birds and animals which were his gifts from the unspeakable westerners he will leave at the national zoo.
 He and Booker Washington will soon be enjoying their summer homes by the seaside. Both have to go through the northern town where white mob the other day burned a negro at the stake for murdering white girl.

ABILENE was FIFTH,
A. on. W. Drill at Wichita Proved
Interesting

The Abilene A. O. q. W. team re-
turned from Wichita where It en-
tered the drill for prizes offered by
the grand lodge. Each team gave an
exhibition aud all were so nearly
equal, it was difficult Tor the judges
to make = decision. The prizes Of
Tered were: First, 500; second. $75;
third, $50; fourth. e26. After consid-
cradle discussion the following result
was announced:
Team representing Topeka lodge
No. $50, scored s47 points, and won
first prize; Arkansas City won second
prize, with S4S points; Topeka lodge
No. 8, won third prize, with S42
points and Leavenworth lodge No. 8,
won fourth prize, with SS2 points.
Abilene was fifth with 1926.
A parade was given just before the
contest. Abilene's team attracted q
great deal Of attention, as 1t appeared
wearing dark blue sailor suits,
trimmed in white braid. On each
point Of the large collars were large
embroidered yellow sundowers. They
marched we'll. showing they we're a
we'll trained team.
The Abilene team was the only one
that followed the regular Workman
uniform, no two Of the teams being
alike. Some new rules were enforced
that made their work more difficult
than thcy expected sid all things
considered they did excellently.
