FIRST ALABAMA REGIMENT.
Warm COmme n dalton of Professor Me-
 MOrrfes History.

Some weeks ago a copy of the ad- mirable history of the tst Alabama Regiment, prepared by Professor E. Y. McMorries. of Plantersville, Ala, was received by The'Advertiser. The work originally appeared in the columns of this paper and has very wisely been put in book form. It is a pity that some one connected with each Alabama regi- ment cannot do the country similar service. In The Charleston News and Courier of December IS is the follow ing handsome notice of this work:
 There has appeared recently at Mont gomery. Ala, a publication entitled, History of the 1st Regiment Alabama Volunteer Infantry, C. $. A, by Edward Young McMorries. Ph. D.. private of the Perote Guards, Company c. 1861, Company G. ls62-65; and an orogtnal Member of Both the Company and Reg iment."
 The volume Is dedicated to the sol diers, the sailors and the women of the Confederate States of America, and to their descendants forever"

 Creditors of Mcqueen & Co.,, leading mercantile establishment of Greenville, filed a petition in bankruptcy against them in the United States Court yes terday.
 Court officials declined to make the records in the case public and little is known in Montgomery concerning the alleged business difficulties of the firm.
 Voluntary petitions in bankruptcy were filed by Robert Bryant, railroad employe of Montgomery, and James A. Paulk of Union Springs.
 It is said that MT. Paulk some time ago conducted a large mill which was destroyed by fire. He was unable to collect insurance on the property and in consequence could not meet his obli- Rations.

INDIANS STARVING.
COnditiOn of Piama Tribe Referred to
 Roosevelt.

Washington, D. C.. Dec. is.-Dr. Charles L.. Thompson. Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Missions, dis cussed with President Roosevelt to- day the serious condition of the Piama Indians of Arizona.
 He told the President that the h. dians actually were dyink of starva- tion because the lands had been rem dered unproductive by the diversion of the water of streams running through them. The diversion of the water was caused by the development of plants Of the government for irrigation of the lands.
 Through a commission the President already has made an investigation of the matter and it Is not unlikely that pumping station will be constructed on the Piama Indian lands tossupply them with sufficient water for all purposes.

EDITORIAL
CURRENT EVENTS: THE DRIFT OF THINGS
AS WE SEE 1T.

Last week brought no sensations, though the
political circus did present enough new features
to hold the attention of the audience. The Russo
Japanese War dragged along without special IN
cident. The price of wheat shot upward, meteor
like. Monday President Roosevelts letter OF ac-
ceptance was given to the public. The election
in Maine was declared by both parties to be emf
nently satisfactory; but the Democrats we're
especially elated since Maine, unlike Arkansas
and Vermont, showed much heavier Democratic
than Republican gains. In New York Governor
OdeIl established himself as the Republican lead
er by forcing the nomination of +. w. Higgins
for Governor in spite of the determined opposl-
ton of Senator Plat; Odell has clearly succeeded
the aged Senator as boss, and Platts friends are
somewhat sore over the result. There is also
discussion in the Democratic ranks in New York,
and there are rumors that Parker's national man
ayers. Taggart, Sheehan and Belmont, are not
working in harmony.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-09-20

President Roosevelt's letter of acceptance,
whatever else may be said of it, is clear and plain
spoken. In fact, it is so vigorous that independ-
ent papers have criticised it as undignifed, and
Democratic papers as insulting. Certainly it's,
strenuousness presents quite a vivid contrast to
Judge Parker's cautious and judicial public ut
terance. 1t is a just criticism, we think, to say
that Judge Parker's addresses read too much like
Supreme Court opinions and Roosevelt's too much
like Rough Rider addresses.
Mr.. Roosevelt undoubtedly has a pretty good
opinion of himself and his career-an opinion
calculated to remind one of a story which halls
from Indiana. A Hoosier lawyer was talking to
.a~stranger. "That man." he said, pointing to
Senator Beveridge. "is the smartest man in In
diana" "Can you prove it~ was the reply.
"Don't have to prove it" answered the lawyer,
che admits itw Thus Mr.. Roosevelt very can
didly admits that his administration is about the
best in American history. Here is his confes-
sion:
"No other administration in our history, no
other government in the world, has more con-
sistently stood for the broadcast spirit of brother
hood in our common humanity. or has held a
more r~esolute attitude of protest against every
wrong that outraged the civilization of the age,
at home or abroad"
Moreover, the President continues: "There is
not a policy, foreign or domestic, which we are
now carrying out, which it would not be disastrous
to reverse or abandon"
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-09-20

On the trust question, Mr.. Roosevelt is not
nearly so rampant as two years ago when he
toured New England calling for a Constitutional
amendment aimed at monopo1es. He merely
claims credit for the antitrust movements of the
Attorney-G General. "The action of the Attorney
General in enforcing the antitrust and interstate
commerce laws, and the action of the last Con-
press have for the first time opened a
chance for the National Government to deal in
diligently and adequately with the questions af-
fecting society because of the accumula-
ton of capital in great corporations"
Judge Parker's assertion chat the common
law, as developed, affords a complete legal rem
edy against monopolies," however is vigorously
combated by Mr.. Roosevelt in these words: "But
there is no common law of the United States.
It's rules can be enforced only by the State courts
and officers. No Federal Court or officer could
take anv action whatever under this. To
say that action against trusts and monopolies
should be limited to the application of a COM
mon law is equivalent to saying that the National
Government should take no action whatever to
regulate them"
The Administrators policy in Panama, Cuba,
and the Philippines, is reviewed and defended at
considerable length: "Any abandonment of the
policy which we have steadi1~ pursued in the
Philippine Islands would be fraught with dis
honor and disaster. Our Government has
been true to the spirit of the Fourteenth Amend
ment in the Philippines. Can our opponents
deny that here at home the principles of the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments have been
in effect nulliiedw This is about the only refer
ence to Southern problems in tho entire letter,
and it is regarded as significant that the Presi-
dent links the negro question in the Philippines
with the negro question in the South. He pays
no attention to the Republican plank calling for
a reduction of Southern representation in Con-
gress.
As to Pension Order No. rs, directing that any
veteran of the Civil War who has reached the
age of s~ixty-two years should be presumptively
entitled to a pension of six dollars a month, the
President declares that this "is justified, not
merely on legal grounds, but also on grounds of
public morality" He lays emphasis on the fact
that President Cleveland Exercised the same
power when he issued a regulation making
seventy-fve years the age at which total disabil-
iy should be conclusively presumed"
Finally, the Republican candidate severely ar
raigns the opposition for facing about on the
currency question. "The record of the last seven
years proves that the party now in power can be
trusted to take the additional action necessary
to improve and strengthen our monetary system
and that our onnonent cannot be so trusted"
The address is very long, and would fill nearly
the entire issue of The Progressive Farmer if
printed in full.

The Elections in Arkansas, Vermont and Maine.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-09-20
Elections in Arkansas, Vermont and Maine.

The elections in Arkansas and Vermont Mon
day, September 3rd, were not at all encouraging
to the Democrats. In Vermont neither party
polled quite it's full vote, but the Democrats fell
a little further short than the Republicans, and
the Legislature will be even more overwhelmingly
Republican than usual. In Arkansas the Repub-
hcans made a surprising gain of nearly 10000
IN number of votes cast. Of course, nobody ex-
pected Arkansas to go Republican or Vermont
Democratic, but there was interest in the size of
the majorities in the two States-especially in
Vermont because of a belief that a Republican
majority of less than $4,000 there presages the
defeat of the National ticket and because that
the New York farmers are likely to be Influenced
by the same drift of sentiment which shows itself
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1904-09-20
The Letter Summarized.

Briefly summarized, Mr.. Roosevelt defends
everything his party has done, throws down the
gauntlet to the Democrats, and calls for public
approval or disapproval of his record.
Though he once opposed the policy of protec-
ton, he now says: "When the Democrats speak
of protection as robbery, they of course must
mean that it is immoral to enact a tariff designed
to secure to the American wa0e-worker the bene-
fit of the high standard of living which we de-
sire to see kept up in this country. To speak of
the tariff in this sense as robbery is on
its face false" Of a revision of schedules he
holds out little hope: From, time to time sched-
ules must undoubtedly be rearranged and re-
adjusted to meet the shifting needs of the coun-
try. but this can with safety be done only by
those who are committed to the cause of the nro-
tective system"

is no great drift toward any one candidate. The
point is. however, that the Republicans are per-
fectly content with this, while the Democrats
must have a very considerable disturbance of the
elements in order to elect their candidate.
Parker's Chances of Election.
A pretty fair statement of the political situa-
ton and the comparative chances of the two par
ties is given in the September Worlds Work; and
the subject is of such general interest that we
reprint the article as follows:

receive 81 votes in the electoral college and
Mr.. Parker 1875. But Mr.. Parker will carry some

doubtful are:

The Real Issue.

The prominence given to the
tariff in the democratic platform
and the open declaration in favor
of tariff for revenue only, and
against protection, emphasizes
the Importance of that issue, and
affords ground for the declara-
ton by prominent public men
that this is the most important
of them all.
But the real issue of the cam
paign is not any one of these, and
the verdict of the people will not
be given upon any one of them,
though they all may be consider
ed. The question to be judged
by the people is that of republi.
can performance versus democra-
tic promise; republican principle
versus democratic inconsistency
republica success versus democra'
tic failure.
Every one knows what the re
publicans have done in the ad
ministration of the government.
There is no evidence that tn,
democrats could do any better.
There is abundant evidenc,
