sEABOARD AIR LINE.
Its Origin Was the Savannah, Americus
 and MOntgOmerY Railraad.

In speaking of the ending of John Skelton Williamss connection with tho Seaboard Air Line, The Baltimore Sun says:
 With the full transfers of the stock to MT. Ryan both MT John Skelton Will Hams and Mir. J. M. Middendorf are ex- pected to retire from the Seaboard man. agement. This will mark the end of one of the most spectacular railroad deals in modern times From a begin, ming with the defunct Savannah Amer lcus and Montgomery road, reorganized almost solely by the indefatigable err ergy and resourcefulness of MT. Will Hams into the Georgia and Alabama did the greater Seaboard have it's birth How successive properties were pur. chased and built until at length a com pact North -andSo system swas formed. with projections into the far Southwest, are matters of recent history. MT Williams showed himself the equal in resourcefulness to the most astute and powerful New York fnan- ciers. and 1t was only when general conditions got into such shape as to cause universal depression did he sue cumb.
 Who will succeed MT. Williams and Mir Middendorf in the board of voting trustees for the property has not been announced That their successors will he in touch with MT. Ryan and his timated that If strong and broad men can be found in the South to fill th- needed requirements it Is not unlikely they may be asked to participate in toe work of rounding out the Seaboard system

Uniformity of Judicial Procedure.
 Talladega Sept. 1904.

ldllducSd' ECPN' v '1"N-' Editor The Advertiser:
 Uniformity of judicial practice and procedure is badly needed reform Tn Alabama. We have had enough Of press should stir the people to deter imitation to have something done at the next session of the Legislature, on this line, which will be of lasting ben office holder and the office seeker should not be permitted to defeat or impede the accomplishment of this ob- 1ect.
 thorizing appeals to the Supreme Court on all kinds of interlecutory ques- tions, that court has for years been overburdened with work; making de- quence: for 1t is better to have justice delayed than not given. But the re- gently enacted law creating two new judges, and so arranging the work as time he now has on each case, will doubtless result in speedy dispatch of business there. The present law is admirably adapted to that end. complete system of courts of record of highest original Jurisdiction, of law and equity, with the City Court method of practice and procedure, supplement, empannelling juries. This system could be arranged so as to give one or more judges to a County, according to tax assessed values or population or judge. Where a County grows and needs an additional judge, as may be indicated from population or tax as. sessed values, or both an additional created. By careful foresight almost every contingency may be anticipated. The parts of the law will, in time. have received a settled construction. an nd IA lower thus he anA Dlad proceed on safe ground. with less lia- bility to commit reversible error. The guilty are more likely to stay convict ed. and the State saved expense in feeding prisoners and trying them second. third and fourth time: Justice will be more speedily and certainly ad- ministered. There are innumerable other advantages, not the least of law will be uniform and open alike to all throughout the State. Abstrict rights little avail a man if he cannot have them rightly protected.
 To draft a proper bill for such system of courts and juries requires mature judgment and the ripest expe rience. unembarrassed by any consid- eration of what individual in office. or who wishes to get in office. will be af- fected In my opinion, the Governor should appoint commission to draw. for submission to the next Legislature. a bill or bills, to accomplish such pur- explaining the points. and tie reason of. and advantage of. each. Such a commission could not be recognized as created by law; but. having proceeded under the sanction of the Governor. containing in its constituent members the highest type of the legal profess sion, and presenting in Its labor. gift to the State. awork hardly to be accomplished In a Legislature alone legislatures go 1t Is not likely that what is done by it will be rejected from a mere spirit obstinacy.
 It would be better for such laws to be enacted to go into effect several years afterwards. than not to be passed at all. Respectfully.

Bourke Cochran had better stick to politics if 1t Is true that he asserted in a recent speech that this country will be converted to the Roman Catholic doctrine inside of another century. It is not the paticular form of religion mentioned by him that makes his statement absurd for 1t would have been equally ridiculous if he had said Baptist. Presbyterian, Episcopalian or any other form of religious belief. To be "converted'' to any religion can only mean that the country is to be controlled and dominated by it, and 1t is an absurdity to suppose that the American people will give up one of the most sacred of the rights guar ranteed them by the constitution liberty of conscience. Bourke was probably speaking to please a par ticular audience. but he was talking nonsense, just the same.

and maybe they did. after . fashion, but whether the above information ip correct as to the starting point we have no means of knowing. nor do we understand why savages in the high lands should have had more need of such garments than those Of lower regions. unless the weather was colder up there. Be that as 1t may, we sus- pect that the first pair of trousers was quite a rude piece of work as com
 pared with the fashionable article of the present day. From the Aryan people to the Romans and so on down to our time is the route pursued by this article of apparel, if the reason- ings of our contemporary are correct.

THE PRESIDENTS A. B. ABS.

It is very significant that no Repub" lican gets on the stump these days without making a defense of the Pres ldent They one and all pretend he needs no defense and plunge at once /, Into eulogy. There Is but one expla- nation of this. They know he is cratic and turbulent by nature and what Is plain to them they know quite as well i Is plain to others. They seek to com bat a distrust already in existence and In apologizing they prove the truth of the French maxim, he who excuses, accuses.
 Secretary Taft, in his Vermont ad- dress, gives a most touching description of the open -mindedness, the gentle docil- ity of Roosevelt. He makes one fancy the President seated on a high stool at the White House, while his learned preceptors come down from the Senate and teach the child its letters. These old men each carry political horn book, 1t seems, and patiently go over 2 with the meek little boy, the abs of statecraft. Secretary Taft has never in all his life met a person who Is so anxious to be rightly instructed. The dear man, so grossly represented by the Democrats to be a headstrong, half crazy crank, is, in truth, a prize scholar. in punctuality. in behavior and in at- tention to his books.
 There is much quiet laughter throughout the country at the Presi- fa ha army manoeuvers at Manassas. These will be the most notable in the history of the country. If the election were safely over, there Is no spot on the globe where Teddy" would prefer to be than on the field of Bull Run, as though the battles to be fought there are mimic in character. He Is fre- - quently likened by his loving admirers to Emperor William, and there is i'll both of them a cocky assumption of greatness. But while William Is pro- tected by the divine right of kings and can head cavalry charges in bloodless engagements upon the fields of Ger many, his American prototype must watch from afar the strategic massing of many thousands of troops listen dis tantly to the neighing of the war horses and turn to his desk to touch up a sentence in his letter of acceptance in the hope of fetching thereby one or two more votes. It Is horrible for man to be tethered at Oyster Bay while the field of Manassas is be- ing contended for. So 1t must be for he and his managers agree that if the whoppers, the Republican spell-binders are telling about his docility and sweet reasonableness are to be given any sort of credence, the candidate must sur. round himself with shadow at Oyster Bay and remain very still.
 Out of pity. Chairman Taggart and Governor Sheehan ought to confer with Cortelyou and agree to a truce for one week and let the man go to war. It is mean and cruel to keep him cagcd during the days of the army manoeu- vers.

The Fundamental Principles.

New York Times.
 In words of truth and soberness MT. William B. Hornblower puts before the voters of the country some of the weightiest considerations to be urged in this campaign in behalf of the Dem ocratic nominees. Addressing the Col lege Mems Parker and Davis Club, MT. Hornblower says:
 The candidate of the Democratic Party is the embodiment of sound. con servative constitutionalism. He is not only trained jurist. but he Is by tenn perament and conviction a believer in and defender of the fundamental prin- ciples which lie at the basis of our free Government. Upon his clear sighter ability and }his firm and unfiinchIng loyalty to law we can rely without fear or hesitation"
 Are these words of truth too soberly put to interest and convince the voters ? They are in the tone and spirit of Judge ParkeESs speech. There is no "hig stick" n themi there is no damand- for

UNION LABOR MAN
Who Talk. Sense and Patriotism.

Louisville Courier-Journal
 NJ M, Clapp, a member of the Broth erhood Of Locomotive Engineers, is not the sort of union labor man that we hear from most. We wish 1t to be distinctly understood" he says. that the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers take the stand that. as our fore fathers gave us all equal rights, we have no right to decide that we will not work with non-union men. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, or its members as a body. never said that they should work with none but members of the brotherhood. What wa have insisted on and will always insist on Is that the standard of union wages be observed all along, whether the men be union or non-union. We hold that a non union man has as good right to work as a union man, If he gets the same wages" The Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Engineers is one of the most influential labor organizations in the country. None has accomplished great CT good than 1t. and 1t has been able to do what it has done because of its sound sense and conservatism. Labor unions generally could not take a bet - ter model

'No Folk Needed Here" Is the way The New York Mall responds to the suggestion that Democrats nominate a man like Joe Folk for Governor of New York. The Mail. which is in- tensely Republican, didn't express it. self in exactly the right terms. It should have said. speaking for itself and its party. No Folk Wanted Here" That paper we'll knows that if such a man as Folk should become Governor of New York there would be something like a general emigration of Republi- can boodlers to find safer quarters.

VANDERBILT. HAS

Queer Mix Up in Ownership Re
vealed InvolYiin Equine
Prize Winner. TT e., ,:gs..

New York, Nov. 23.---Growing out Of
what seems to be series Of misunder,
standings, it is stated that a horse with
which A. G.. Vanderbilt won blue
ribbon on the first day Of the recent
horse show and which animal he bought
for $4,000, is really the property Of
J. P. Morgan. - r.
Mr.. Vanderbilt bought the horse from
the owner of. a farm in Port Chester
under the name Of Harmony and later
christened him High Tide. Now it is
asserted that the horse really is King,
winner of many prizes in previous. years
"a splendid animal which Mr.. Morgan
had sent to Port Chester for a rest.
The banker ordered his horse returned
lately and not. long after his daughter
discovered that the returned horse was
not King but far inferior one. King
was identified later at the horse show
by several persons and it is understood
Mr.. Morgan has demanded from the
owner of the farm an explanation and
the return Of the horse.
What stand Mr.. Vanderbilt will take
in the matter is not known. The horse
has been in his possession for some
time. -, {. ~ = 3
