IN A NEW ROLE.

Our Aunt Carrie has decided so We are informed. to go out of the saloon smash ing business and get to work on the other end of the line. That is, instead of de- stroying liquor in the saloons she pro- poses to begin her work with those who manufacture 1t. There is where Carrie will lose the trail, fail to connect. and drop her gum. Those who are licensed to make whiskey will not be likely to stand or sit quietly and have their dis tillery machinery put out of business. They pay for the privilege of making the stuff, as we'll as for the machinery and fixtures for making it. Naturally. they will protect their property and make 1t warm for her if she attempts It.
 But that is nothing to what will happen to her if she sails into the makers of moonshine. unless she gets a job in tle revenue department, and even then she will not have picnic. But if she at tempts to buck against the moonshiners we see her finish right now. They are not a very patient set of operators They know they are violators of the law and that they are at all times liable to be caught up with and put behind the bars Knowing this. they become both watch full and reckless, and Carrie s sex would hardly protect her if she goes incoming about the country hunting a still to smash. That she would get her cuticle filled with shot Is one of the things most likely to occur if she gets to fooliag around the moonshners.
 When 1t was announced that this har- rldan was going on the stage congrat- that she was going to obllterate herself, So far as an rnoffending public was con- cerned. Probably she would make a very inferior actress but that Is of no conse- quence. Her movements in that capacity would be somewhat circumscribed. There would be no compulsion about seeing her. Those who preferred not to see her coalu remain away, and we hope they would be largely in the majority. At any rate, she would be better on the stage than turned loose on an unoffending and help less community. It seems, however, that she is not going into the show business Possibly she felt that such limits were too narrow for a proper display of her talents. It is a pity, but If she proposes to couch a lance against tine moonshin- CTS there's some hope that she'll cease from troubling quiet and law-abiding peo- pie. There is comfort in the thought.

The Presidents Opportunity.

New York Evening Post.
 For some years the management of the printing office has been criticised in Con- gress and in the press as lax and waste fu; but the rumblings of discontent have died away without result. But now dis closures in the Postofflce Department and in the Indian Bureau have served to strengthen the current of opinion that the Government is the victim of other similar frauds. Nobody pretends that public bus mess Is conducted economically. In a private enterprise such employment of useless clerks, such duplication of work, and waste of material. would speedily end in bankruptcy. But heads of departments ard bureaus feel almost helpless against t. 'e conspiracy of the House and Senate to stuff the service with hangers-on. When there is loose and lavish admins tration, there is sure to be dishonesty. The trouble with the postoff1ce was not that Charles Emory Smith was venal, but that the department was so run that Beavers, Machen and all the rest of the gang, found and seized plenty of oppor- tunities to plumber. Now Is the time to look into the contracts for paper and all sorts of supplies. beginning with the printing office and going through the whole list. President Roosevelt can make no stronger appeal for popular confidence than by a thorough housecleanlng. and if he does not undertake the task, he may be sure that the Democrats will.

Reminded of Home.
Washington Post.

" T
 When in China a little while back" said MT. T. J. Gunby, of Portland. Ore, at the Shoreham, II saw something that reminded me pleasantly of home, and at the same time showed the disposition of the people to utilize everything of value. In the streets of several Chinese towns I ran across little urchins whose entire clothing consisted of a single garment, and 1t was this dress that carried me
 sck home. It was made out of a sack hat had contained flour. and still bore h, hig. bright capitals the name of the Portland mill, which had ground the wheat and sent 1t to the Asiatics.
 "The Chinese are gradually developing a liking for our flour and are buying in increasing quantity every year. As the children over there need some cloth ing, the thrifty Celestial mothers do not disdain utilizing the empty sacks for coy ering the bodies of their offspring, and so the youngsters become walking advel- tLsements of our Portland mills"

NEED OF ORGANIZED CHARITIES
 The near approach of cold weather ad-
 nonishes us that winter is the season for suffering in all cities particularly among the poorer classes. It matters not how industrious and careful a family may be, there may come a time when they will both need and deserve assist ance. Sickness. accidents and loss of employment may bring want and real suf- fering. Vice and crime, dissipation and shiftlessness. iaxiness and incompetency, any of them may bring suffering on those who are in no wise to blame, and who are unable to help themselves.
 In Montgomery, as in all other cities. there are always objects of charity. and to relieve them we have Boards of Or ganized Charities whose members and officers are expected to seek out and re- iieve the needy. for these will not always make their wants or needs known. Many will suffer in silence rather than proclaim to the world that they are unable to provide for themselves. Tn some instances those who are suffering may not be strict ly deserving or worthy of help. or their need may come from the negligence, or worse. of those who should provide for them, but can the Christian people of our city let them suffer because there are shortcomings at home? ''The greatest of these is Charity" said Paul. speaking of certain Christian virtues. and the great est charity Is that which seeks out and aileviates the sufferings of the poor and lowiy. Because we always have the poor with us is no excuse for neslecting them and allowing them to suffer. Recent oc- currences in Montgomery brought on our people criticisms which were not alto- gether deserved, but they were nothing more than may occur again, unless there is systematic effort made and perse- vered in to seek out and alleviate all the wants of the unfortunate.
 Let no one imagine that Montgomery lacks for benevolent and charitable cit izens. The spirit is here, the will is here and ample means are not lacking, but 1t may be that there is something lacking in the way of organization and concert of action. If the various boards and so- cieties and church organizations will work in harmony and will set themselves to seek out and help all who need help tfisre need be no suffering in our city during the approaching winter. nor can there be any more reflections cast on our people because of the fact that there have been isolated cases of real suffering and ap- parent neglect. But If all Is done that should be done the work of organization and preparation must not be postponed till some case of real suffering presents an object lesson and spurs our people to spasmodic efforts. To be in constant readiness for all emergencies is half the battle, and the good people of Montgom- cry will not do their duty if they fail not only to relieve but to seek out those who are in need. 'The poor always ye have with you" was not intended to convey the impression that they might be neg lected. but exactly the reverse. We have them always with us and we are to blame if we fail to ascertain and relieve their wants. Organized charity will find plenty to do and 1t should be always ready

A STRAW VOTE.

The Chicago Farm and Home has been taking a vote among its subscribers to ascertain their preference for President. and the result was something of a sur prise Naturally, nearly all the Republi- can readers were for Roosevelt, but the Democratic votes stood this way: Cleve- land. 12,sSS; Bryan, 4.S2l; Parker. 4.s52; Johnson. 4.245; Hill. 2.1SS: Hearst, 1,44O; German, 17s. and scattering, 2,4s1. This result knocked the esteemed Virginian- Pilot--not exactly silly-but on its beam ends. It discourses of the unreliability of straw vote" says only one class of readers were boiled in this case, and adds:
 If anything more were necessary to show the utter worthlessness of this par ucular vote 1t Is the fact that German now perhaps the strongest candidate in tne held for the Democratic nomination Tor the Presidency-received but 1I9 votes iI this poll
 As to only one class of voters being boiled we presume that our contemp t. rary refers to the farmers. who probably constitute a large majority of readers of Farm and Home. That may be true. but the farmers have very important part in the making of Presidents. How

Apartment or Flat?

Wont some one please enlighten me as to the difference between a flat and an apartment?" plaintively inquired a wo- man who had just moved to New York at an afternoon tea. Everybody was willing to enlighten her.
 Why, of course" said one, with an ex- perienced air; ''the flat has a set of speak ing-tubes and whistles and bells and things When you want to get in you ring the bell and the door clacks, and you go in before the elacking stops; At to let you in, and usually an elevator and telephone besides"
 No, you're wrong" came from tired looking little woman in corner Those are only mere surface differences. A flat and an apartment may both have none or all of those things. The only real heart-rending difference is this. In a fiat, it is not considered heinous crime to have children; in an apartment 1t is. That's all. I've been hunting vines and fig trees lately myself, and I know. None of the fig. trees looked at would tolerate my olive branches; guess they don't grow in the same gardens any more outside of the Bible."
