paEspRvE THE OLD BUILDING.

In another place on this page The
 Advertiser copies timely and appre-
 ciative editorial from The Birmingham Ledger on the subject of our State Cap itol Much discussion and controversy has been of late years indulged in re- garding the removal of the Capitol. but
 we consider that matter settled. It will remain where it Is and where 1t
 ought to be. No actual or alleged ad | vantages possessed by any other city
 would justify the removal from Mont
 gomery.
 But the enlargement of the building is a different matter, for that is nec- we agree thoroughly with The Ledger in opposing any change in the appear ! ance of the present house. We know that the argument is made that the
 time honored structure is not up to the
 modern style of architecture. and that 1t should be so altered and amended
 as to conform to present day styles and tastes.
 We beg to differ entirely with ary
 such arguments or suggestions. Ev- erything that Is new Is not the best
 Leaving entirely out of consideration
 all the associations of the historic past. and paying no heed to mere sentiment nlity, a change in the front of the build
 ed that 1t Is oid-fashioned, what of it? S. is the Capitol at Washington, and so are many buildings erected centu-
 ries before Washington and Montgom- cry were born. but no right-t thinking person wants to change them. They are not simply relics of a past age; they are examples of the best style of
 the builders art when beautiful sim
 plicity united with good taste, good
 ma terials and conscientious workman
 which would stand for all time and
 show to all people what architects and
 builders could do in the past.
 The present Capitol is not like many
 of the later buildings and we rejoice
 at 1t. for some of them are no credit to their designers or builders. The
 ornate, showy, gingerbread" style so prevalent now is not appropriate for public buildings. and in the future days these buildings will become wrecks or eyesores. while the old struc- lures in all their Romanesque solidity
 and simple beauty will still stand as | examples of real architectural triumph Tho old house on the hill should be of a growing State. but there should
 be a general protest against any
 change or marring the appearance of
 the old part. Let that remain as It Is
 as long there Is an Alabama.

WE REPEAT TIT.

The Sheffield Reaper. with its usual goat-headedness. takes issue with The Advertiser because we said that in the South white and colored men work to- gether on equal terms. It argues that their working together Is "an enforced condition" and that the white labor CTS always jump the job" at the hrss opportunity where equal terms is a consideration.
 We might answer The Reaper by saying that all manual labor is an en- forced condition. but let that pass. We meant exactly what we said. Equal terms" as we used the expression means that men of the two races work side by side as carpenters. masons and other occupations in peace and har- mony. There is no social equality about it, and no attempt to oblitera e or forget the color line. If the negro is in all respects the equal of the white nan in skill and industry he gets equal pay for the same class of work. Un- less one or the other is quarrelsome or disagreeable there is no friction be- tw cen them. When the days or week $ work Is over they draw their pay 1nd go their several ways. That is all there Is to it. and we repeat that there Is no friction or hard feeling between them arising from the fact that they work side by side. Let The Reaper study the actual facts more closely.

AnAlnbamian'sOpinion

w WdSHlHBtOn FOst.
 Hon. Thomas H. Clark. of Alabama now living in Washington, was seen yesterday at the Congressional head quarters in the Riggs House. MT. Clark was speaker of the Alabama house of representatives when the gold and sill yer standard question came to aa issue in 1896. and he promptly declared for the gold standard. aided in organlzlng the State for sound mcLey. and was tive committee. He laughIngly said yesterday that he is still chairman. as there has never been a meeting of the committee at which ms resignation asked what. in his judgment. would be the probable course of the Dold Dem ocrats in this campaign, said:
 ITO answer such testion is merely Bryan's nomination. ..ot that I loved kepublicanism any the more, but Bryanism, alias free silver, the less. Free silver was more abhorrent than a tariff The Republicans in 1900 de- clared that the gold standard had been firmly established: both parties agree this year that it is irrevocably estab- lished, and taking no stock-not the slightest-in the efforts making by a few Republicans to raise up T buga- boo of free silver, find myself heart fly in sympathy with what I conceive to be the Democratic policies of to- day, If there is any objection; it plain speaking on the tariff.
 There are three issues that most deeply concern the Southern people. The South is extraordinarily prosper ous. and the negro prospers with the rest. The recent Republican census bulletin proves this as to the negro. There is general apprehension. how ever. that the menace Of the Chicago platform aimed at the south means, in the event of Roosevelt's election, another blasting era of race agitation. The Presidents overmastering temper. so regretfully exhibited already in stimulating such an agitation, is votes will be determined with us. Of course. the Southern people share. with conservative people elsewhere in the Union. an appreh 'nsion of continu- ing effect of having so agitated and so agitating a will in control of national affairs, domestic and foreign. As to the tariff, the Democracy carries lit tie too much of the tar of that stick to suit me- but the Democratic party is headed right-headed toward the revenue basis as an ideal. Altogether, as a Gold Democrat, have been high ly pleased to lind the party back on old ground. sound money, taxation as- sessed in the interest of all the people and not designated classes: no subsidy. a clean, not an nnclean; an ecomlcal not wasteful; a constitutional not an eXtracOnctllulloldl duHlihAStAotA of the government.
 "The result? Ask another man. I do believe. though, 1t will be one of the most warmly. contested. elections we have ever had. It will be fought strenuously from ocean to ocean, and as the American people have q habit of deciding wisely-and there appears just now to be the highest wisdom in turning the Republicans outnI am modestly looking for the election to go that way"

tiemen who are Democrats" or South ern gentlemen who are Republicans, or anything else, but We submit that there Is no ground upon which any Southern gentleman, whatever his politics or re- lfgfon, can defend the indecency of Governor vardaman in this case. No words that he might use now can ex- cuse the words he used formerly, or the words which he is said to have used in his newspaper, The Greenwood Com monwea1th.
 Our contemporary's expression-"or the words he is said to have used." is the point of the whole matter. If Gov ernor vardaman used the language at tributed to him there is no defense for him. but did he use them? That is the only point we made on The Hartford Courant. and 1t still holds. Is Varda- man guilty as charged in the indict- ment? That is the question.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1904.
sELT.AHSES.STION.


 At intervals the public is informed that President Roosevelt will not take the stump. This announcement is made over and over again as if the President was sharing a power of self denial in not going before the people to tell them what in his judgment they ought to do; that he is deliberately de- priving himself of a great weapon in declining to use his skill in speech and persuasion.
 There are two ways in looking at his decision. one from the standpoint of the office and the other that of the man himself. Everybody is agreed that when a candidate for the Presidency is already in the office he should not go careering about the country. mounting stumps whenever he can find a crowd to listen. There have been swings around the circle, but never a swing round the circle by a President cam Mir. Bryan shocked many people. though he was not in office, by his enormous activity in seeking and pleading for votes. And Judge Parker will act the handsomer part and one more in con- formity with the good sense of his fel- low-countrymen. If he spends the bulk of his time right at home under his own vine and fig tree. The best tra- ditions of the past support him in his determination to seek the suffrages of the people in a wholly dignifed way So, it Is, that Roosevelt would be do- ing violence to the proprieties if he should take to the stump and while no Democrat need apprehend any benefit to be derived by the Republicans if he should change his mind and make a number of speeches, as citizens, they may feel gratifed that he Is to remain quiet until November He thus shows a respect for the office he holds.
 In the other view, the personal one, it is certainly a great trial and vexa- tion of spirit for this man to sit still and hold his tongue. He dearly loves 6 scrap and no doubt is thor oughly persuaded that with his magic eloquence he could win thousands to his support. It is to help him compose his mind and be still that these an nouncements continue to be made. We shall look for one every week or two during the campaign. When he gets ungovernably restless and longs to speak out something that burdens his mind, the managers will argue with him on the impropriety of his stumping the country, he will acquiesce tempo rafily, and all the world will hear once again he regards personal canvassing himself as unseemly This will be the managers way of tanning him and keep ing him tanned.

Political Finance,

Philadelphia Record.
 The Republican campaign has been underwritten by the firm of J. P Nor gan & Co.,, which fioated the Steel Trust and the North Atlantic shipping com bine, besides several smaller trusts; which arranged the transfer of the Pennsylvania Coal Company to the Erie Railroad in order to prevent the a railroad of their own to tide water, and which negotiated the absorption of the Bethlehem Steel Company by the Slipping Trust of unsavory memory. in accordance with which the Morgan shares were to be marketed before the others. It Is unnecessary to say that the firm has been the most powerful financial combination In the country, but it's prestige has been impaired a little by the decline in steel stocks and International Mercantile Marine secu- rites and the collapse of the shipyard combination, with which its connection was only incidental.
 The financial interests of the Repuo- lican National Committee will be cared for here and in New York by the part promoters. Mir Morgan's reputed dis like for the President appears to have been a thoroughly businesslike emo tion designed to bring MT. Roosevelt ed, the great flnancier's interest In the election of the President for another term Is so keen that his New York and Philadelphia houses undertake to pro vide the necessary funds.
 The underwirter does not put up any money unless the public fails to take the stock offered to it. The Nor gan firm will, of course, offer shares In the Roosevelt administration to money ed men, especially the eeneficiaries of legislation. here and in New York, and what 1t does not dispose of In that way 1t will Keep and pay for. By so doing the greatest trust manufact- uring establishment in the country would have a first mortgage on the Roosevelt administration in case the Republicans should carry the election

SHOULD TALK SENSE.

The ingenuity of some of the Repub- lican newspapers is wonderful, and the unscrupulousness of some of them is worse. They show their ingenuity, by some of the arguments they use against Judge Parker, and they show the other quality by twisting his acts or words to suit their own purposes The New York Press. for example, al- ludes to the large number of savings banks depositors in the United States. and then goes on:
 These more than 7,Oo0,0 900 citizens of the United States are asked by the Democratic Party to vote for a man, Judge Parker, who in 1898 and 1900 de- liberately gave his ballot, and says so to the formal proposition of MT. Will liam J Bryan to cut the value of those savings banks deposits in half, to make of every dollar earned accumulated and put away at interest only 50 cents of good money: to make every dollar of interest paid only 50 cents of good money!
 It would be a very grave reflection on the intelligence of The Press to charge that 1t d1d not know the above |. There is not scintilla of evidence that Parker, in 1896 or at any other time, believed in or endorsed Bryan's finan- cial fallacies. He voted the ticket IS many thousands of other good Demo- crats did in spite of the platform and in spite of MT. Bryans theories. If the latter had announced that he fa- vored paper money as the standard, Democrats would have voted for him, partly because there was nothing else for them to do. as most of them view ed 1t, and partly because they would have had no fear that he could every carry out his theories. It was a choice between an unsatisfactory Dem- ocrat and a far more unsatisfactory Republican and Judge Parker chose to take the lesser evil.
 It may be impossible for The Press to be fair but it might at least try to talk sense.

A prlInnnArR sLAnpEn.

DELtDBnATB eLANDEh.
 Strange how the exigencies of hot campaign and the demands of partisan ship can warp the conscience of re- ally good newspaper. Here is an ex- ample from one of the greatest news papers Of the Northwest. The Portland oresonian;
 wouldn't Judge Parker have swal- lowed silver , had t Ses. Iscesssry ,so to convention of his party had declared for silver. as 1t did In 1898. and again in 1s00--wouldnt he have taken the nominationI Nobody can aoubt that he silver platform twice. without wincing. And there Is just as much reason for was. Parker Is. a man who will take silver or gold. But If the platform is silent on the subject, he will speak up for gold, merely because he thinks that the best chance at this time for eiec- of course. He is merely a party man "a Democrat. who has followed his party. through its record of fifty years. for slavery. secession. greenbacks. re- tho country has found dvfty !, neeessarS ] rS'f te turn down. Yet Judge Parker Is a
 good man" But suppose the country had been administered on the princf- in a "nx." indeed. It would be entitled have it.
 Almost every line of that article is a slander on Judge Parker. It Is a re- fiection on his character as a man and citizen for which The oregonian ought to be heartily ashamed. Party service makes strong demands on its members. 1t is true. but that affords no | reason why a reputable newspaper should lose sight of all fairness and justice in its desperate efforts to find some cause of complaint against the nominee of Democracy
 If The oregonian is unable to see the differehce between voting for a caniI- date on an objectionable platform ard accepting a nomination on the same kind of platform. 1t is entitled only to pity for its weakness. If 1t does know the difference and makes such s:ate- ments from partisan motives. it is no. pity. but contempt that it deserves. It's estimate of Judge Parker, Judging from the article we have quoted. is that he Is a man wholly without per- sonal or political principles; a .nan who would sacrifice all principle and honor for ofi1ce. The oregonian knows this is not true. The telegram to the St. Louis Convention was sufficient to satisfy any one not hopelessly party ridden that he is both honest and de- eided in his financial beliefs.
 There were some millions of Demo- crats in 1900 who voted for Mir Bryan who had no sympathy with his finan- cial doctrines and who were directly anta gonistic to parts of the platform. There are some millions of Republicans who will vote for Roosevelt in Novem. Der without being in sympathy with him or the platform on which he was nominated. They vote the party ticket. as the editor of The Oregonian will doubtless do. whether they like ticket or platform or not. To charge that Judge Parker Is a man without 2fin |. ciple, frmness or honesty, is islander for which The Oregonian should feel a Sh
