uow nd rurs,


 The Atlanta News is the leading Hearst organ of the South and is deep in the secrets of the Hearst organization. In It's issue of the 2sth 1t seeks to belittie the Parker sentiment of the Alabama convention and says:
 Here is Alabama, confidently claimed by the organs as a Parker State. It the roll of the Democratic Southern States Is called at St. Louis, at the head of the list. will answer first with an un- instructed delegation!
 It Is folly and partisan inaccuracy to claim that Alabama Is for Parker Here is gallant old Major Screws, who has led the fight for Parker, declining to run for delegate on the floor of the conven- tion. because of a certain defeat before him.
 Here is Major Steiner. Hearst's class mate and intimate friend, elected as a delegate from the Montgomery district. And the men who like Hearst best are the men who know him best.
 The Alabama Democracy Is untram- melled for the discreet councils of St. Louis
 Leaving out of question the editor of The Advertiser. who is not a delegate, the question for the people of this dis trict to consider is the attitude of MT. Steiner .one of the delegates from the Second District 1t was often charged in private discussions preceding the con vention that Mir. Steiner was a Hearst man. In fact The Advertiser published statement, from Birmingham that he had been in consultation with Mir. Hearst's manager during his visit to Ala bama. Steiner's Hearst proclivities were denied by him and by some of his friends for him. We do not believe he would have received the support of the Mont gomery delegation or of the district if there had been any thought in the minds man. The above from The Atlanta News is published for what 1t is worth.
 The following Is the Montgomery dis patch to The American, Hearst's New York paper:
 The Democratic State Convention held here today elected twenty-two delegates to the St. Louis National Convention. Resolutions instructing for Judge Parker were introduced. but pigeon-holed by the Committee on Resolutions.
 Wallace Screws, editor of The Mont- gomery Advertiser, recently denounced in that city by William J. Bryan in a public speech as the most malicious and unfair newspaper in the country, had been talk ed of for delegate-at-large. but seeing the impossibility of winning, withdrew his name from the convention. Major Screws's reorganization faction had been defeated in the Montgomery primaries by the loyalists led by R. E. Steiner, friend of William R. Hearst.
 A resolution declaring Judge Parker to be the most available man for the Presi- dential nomination was adopted. The unit rule was applied.
 Major Steiner said tonight: ''The Par ker resolution was adopted after most of the delegates had left the hall. At least half of the delegates are for Mir. Hearst"
 Again leaving out the personality of the editor of The Advertiser and any in- correct statements about him, we simply call attention to the attitude Mir. Steiner is made to assume in MT. Hearst's chief paper. It is we'll for Alabama that the unit rule prevails.

Mormonn In New York.

Baltimore Herald.
 While Congress has been investigat- .rs Reed Smoot and his religion. and tho country has been shocked and stirred by the compelled revelations of President Smith and others, the Nor mons have not ceased their missionary activity. The Mormon colony in New York has not been disturbed by the in Vestigation. It has completed plans to build a large temple in Harlem dis trict, and 1t is understood that the building committee is now in Utah for the purpose of having the plans off cially approved so building may begin at an early date.

A wRoNG MoyEMENT.

There is quite little boom starting up for Folk, of Missouri, as a Presidential possibility. The talk may never amount case 1t is unfortunate, and for the same reason, 1t would really be a misfortune to nominate him. There seems no reason to doubt that he will be nominated and elected Governor of his State and rarely has man of his kind been needed worse as chief executive of any State than he Is needed as Governor of Missouri Hardly at any time, if ever. has State been more sorely afflicted with boodlers than Missouri now is, and we recall but gagged in a more determined effort to punish criminals than Folk has. That he has not been wholly successful Is no fault of his.
 To nominate him now for President or vice-President would of course prevent his election as Governor, and deprive Missouri of the services of a man who can do more to break down crime in that State than any man within our knowl- edge. In fact. we doubt if there is another man in the State who is so peculiarly fitted, just at this time, for the work of reform which is so badly needed. It would probably set the cause back at least four years ,and give the boodlers new hold on the State. to lose him.
 
 MT. Folk Is young man He will not reach Presidential age until October next, and can well afford to wait Let him be elected Governor and if he serves his State as well as those who know him best predict that he win, he is pretty apt to go higher. To take him now from the work he has set out to do would be mistake and a misfortune

That Birmingham Cnnard.

"The hubbub in Birmingham about the tenure of office of Probate Judges is an excellent example of hysteria on the part of some of our daily newspa- never any serious question about the time the new Probate Judges go into office. The legal point involved is not of serious moment. And as for the Governor calling a special session of the Legislature to rectify any mistake of the lawmakers, such talk is the sheerest rot.
 'I happen to know that several let tors have been written to the Governor on the subject and to each of them he has replied that he was not even the Legislature to consider that mat ter.
 Attorney General Wilson will prob ably write an opinion on the subject in day or two to correct an erroneous impression which has been widely dis tributed from Birmingham v

The Nations Loss from Typhoid.

Pl evidence Journal.
 The Michigan physician who puts the annual money loss to the United States from typhoid fever at $50,000,000 is far from setting forth the full truth. He reaches his estimate by assuming $1,0OO as the average value of the lives sac rifced and he omits all account of the money spent in the care of non-fatal cases. The real value of the lives lost so far as such value can be expressed in money-might more properly be rated at $5,000, and at least $1O0 on the average must be spent on victims who recover. On this calculation, as suming that the Michigan physician Is correct in his number of cases. the annual loss to the country from ty- phoid is nearly $500. .OOO, ,0OO.

Condition of Russla's Poor.

 Today Russia's I40,OOO,OOO and more of people are comparatively secure and content under despotism. Why? Be- cause, while they are illiterate, ignor- ant degraded, as q rule they have enough to eat and drink. They are su- perstitious, 1t is true, but religious su- peFstition is not sufficient to make mill lions of people submit to a government that engenders starvation through tax ation. Russia's rulers have been shrewd they have not tried to make their ignorant, i1literate people intel ligent, but they have been careful so to govern that the people would not rebel yelling: Bread or blood" Mo- body becomes Nihilist in Russia save an educated man, who Is a political en- thusiast, or is a member of the nobil- ity who has become, through disap- pointed official ambition in the army or navy. or civil service, a bitter, vindict- i've malcontent.

AIdermeu and the wires.

T observe" said a gentleman, that the Montgomery City Council is taking steps toward putting all wires in the city underground. This recalls the fact that the Council about two years ago passed an ordinance requiring wires to be put underground, but like a majority of the ordinances passed by the Council, it was not needed. If my recollection does not play me false, there was some talk of e competing telephone company in Montgomery about the time the underground wire ordinance was passed and this meas ure succeeded in blocking the move ment of the competing company. Of course, it is not my purpose to say that the ordinance was designed to scare the men who proposed a com petitive telephone company, but 1t un- doubtedly had that effect. The Bell Company did some underground work but the work stopped and the ordi- nance became void for reasons not ob- vious to the public.
 T earnestly hope that we are not to be treated to the same sort of per- formance on the part of the Aldermen who are now serving the city.
 "As one who takes a deep interest in the work of the Council" he added, 'I have been watching and waiting to see what disposition will be made of the pointed report made to the Coun- cil some three weeks ago by Police Chief Gerald relative to the invasion of a private home by policemen. Sev- eral meetings of the Aldermen have beer held since that time but they ap- pear to be content to let it lie on the table indefinitely"

what the Farmer Should Learn.

Portland Oregonian.
 The farmer must learn to place a cosh value upon his own time and labor and know where they are expended and what results they produce. He must learn to think of the dairy cow as a machine for manufacturing clover, etc, into milk-a machine that will do It's best work when kindly treated, shelt- cred from storms and fed a balanced ration. The small plots of idle ground should be made to produce something that will sell in the market or supply the family table. The waste products of orchard, garden or grain field should be turned into pork, mutton or poultry, while everything that can serve no bet ter purpose should, If possible, add fer tility to the soil. Rotation of crops should make summer following unnec- essary and $10 worth of apples should not be lost for the want of $1 worth of sDray.

Thinks Him a Winner.

CuIIhdh DtmOCFdt.
 If the party shall nominate Judge Parker as 1t seems that 1t will, the fight in our opinion. is won. We can't conceive that even a Republican of the better sort can stand Roosevelt. He is vainglorious. egotistical fraud, who has played the rude game of bunco steerer upon the people of this coun- try. With an unattractiye personality. bad character, white-hating. negro loving disposition and affiliated with a party that has left a trail of corruption wherever 1t has held sway. the people will hardly continue Candidate Roose- welt in the office he uses to appoint ne- groes over the protest of the whites and thieves over the protest of the bet ter element of the whole country.
