Hours at. the Library.
Montgomery, May ?, Do'


 Editor The Advertiser:
 In reading the rules adopted for the government of the Library as published in Sundays paper, noticed one which do not believe will subserve the best in- terests of the reading public. I refer to the rule regulating the hours during which the library will remain open. There are no doubt many who will be anxious to avail themselves of the priv iieges afforded, and who will be pre- clufied by reason of inability to visit the library during these hours. Again, there are not few who are busiiy occupied during the day and who, perhaps, would gladly welcome the opportunity of recre- alton and self improvement offered by such an institution If access were allow ed in the evening, For these reasons, it appears to me that If the library is to serve its purpose, the hours should be extended, If not for the circulating de- partment, certainly for reading.
 The rule closing the library on Sum days Is not calculated to extend the ben efits that might otherwise result. The only day that many of our citizens are practically disengaged and free to en- Joy the luxury should not close the doors of this educational institution to such Imperative demands. Education of this character cannot be irreligious. in fact it is the handmaid of religion, and the library should do all in It's power to ad- vance the sociai and intellectual devei- opment at a time convenient to the needs of those whom it seeks to reach:

Give All Democrats a Chance.

Birmingham Age-Herald.
 The Mobile Register continues to de- niand deiega ton pledged to Judge Far ke- fhe Montgomery Advertiser will be content with an enforcement of the unit rule believing that a Parker delegation can be secured in that way.
 Both of these esteemed newspapers arc letting their personal desires outrun their love for the old historic party. The road to Oemoeratie success lies in freedom Of selection up to and even on July 6. and there is no reason in the world, outside of personatism. why the hands Of the Alabama delegation should be tied on the day the convention meets.
 rhere are deep features in this cam paign that cannot be sifted and weighed before the day for the assembling of the convention. Two of these features are Tammany and the Bryan following. The Register and The Advertiser may be ready 10 hop up and crack their heels thoughtful Democrats. free from all per- scnaiism, know that both should have careful treatment and consideration.
 The truth Is, The Register and The Ad- vertissr are doing nothing to get Demo- cratsi together. They are both wholly in and kneel at the ponderous feet of Grover Cleveland, but they want no re- cruits, no getting together, on any other basis. Neither are In a position to dic- tate to Democrats who through thick and t1iH have stood by the party.
 The common sense of the situation calls for freedom ofsaction on the part of Ala bama, an uncontested State, up to the very hour of bailotting. Representative men can be trusted to represent the Dem ocrats of Alabama, and The Register and The Advertiser should not endeavor to forestali thousands and tens of thousands of Democrats in good and regular stand ing.

SEES HEARST IN RoUT.
Congressman Williams Says Nomina
 tion is Impossible.

Congressman Williams Says Nomina-
 tion is Impossible.
 Chicago Record HeraM
 Tt is a matter of wonder to Demo- ciats in the Senate and House of Rep -esentatives that Congressman Hearst has continued his fight for the Pres,- dcntiai nomination after the result in New York. Democrats with whom I have associated for years tell me that should the St. Louis convention last for six delegation would vote for Hearst, and un- der these circumstances, knowing that New York Is necessary to Democratic success, the nomination of MT. Hearst is an impoSslbility."
 Congressman James R. Williams of Car mi stopped in Chicago yesterday on his way home from Washington and made these statements; During the day MT. Williams fortified himself with informa- ton regarding the situation in the yari- ous districts out in the State, with the intention of devoting his efforts from now on to counties that have rot yet chosen delegates to the Democratic State Con- vention. He expressed himself as satis- fled with the general outlook, and said that cpless Hearst carries two-thirds of the Cook County district primaries the election of a Hearst delegation to the St. Louis Convention will be impossible.
 T have letters from men on county delegations" said Mir. Williams, show ing that Hearst has no more than half e.to dSlSS~teS Eo AaI elcCteu WHO are claimed by his managers. do not know whether the Hearst leaders themselves have been deceived, or whether they pur- loosely are publishing claims to deceive the voters here in Chicago and Cook County. I am informed by men on un- instructed delegations that are claimed by Hearst that not a single member of such delegations will vote for Hearst dele gates to the National Convention Tn the case of some delegations that were instructed in favor of Hearst the votes will not be cast in his interest be- cause the Instructions were based on the | assurances of Hearst agents that New York would be for him. The utter col- lapse of the Hearst boom in the Empire State has changed the situation entirely, | my information being gained from those who understand the local conditions. "Moreover. many of the Hearst claims | Of delegates are based on the absence of
 any direct anti-Hearst movement in cer- | tain counties. But the failure to make | an open fight does not signify that all l the delegates chosen by the Democratic | voters will be for Hearst.
 An effort has been made in the West | to create the impression that the element which opposed Parker instructions in | New York was and Is for Hearst The facts are otherwise The opposition of | fammany was not in Hearst's interest, | and Hearst's name was not even men | tioned in the State Convention, according | to any reports have read.
 | ''l understand, too, that Hearst's man | agers are claiming the Pennsylvania dele | gation, but those who understand the sit- | uation know their candidate will get no votes in that quarter"

A DANGEROUS SENTIMENT.

If Governor Montague. of Virginia. really said in a public speech that he is in favor Of universal education and universal suffrage" he uttered a senti- ment which the Southern people will not endorse. He was so reported in The New York Mail by MT. Chamber lain. its correspondent, and though we have watched the Virginia newspapers closely. we have seen no denial of the report.
 It may be that the Governor was talking to the galleries. merely to please the crowd and to fit the time and the occasion, for he was talking on the occasion of the visit of the Og- den party to the Hampton Colored h. stitute. and possibly wanted to be pleasant. but he has not heretofore borne the reputation of being a man of that kind Governor Montague has been highly eulogized by the newspa- pers of his State as a typical South erner, and has been frequently men toned as suitable Presidential timber, but this sentiment lets him out
 To carry his idea to Its legitimate conclusion, means the undoing of all that the Southern States. Virginia in- cluded. have done to regulate and ele- vate the ballot. It would mean the abrogation of all our Constitutional measures against viciousness and ig norance at the polls, for If universal suffrage" means anything, it means that all must be allowed to vote with out regard to fitness or qualifications The Southern people have, gone through too much and have had too much trouble getting suffrage regu- lated in the interest of good govern ment to endorse the Montague idea.

The Hog as a Forester.

From outing.
 There are innumerable minor influences that come in for the foresteT's consideration, and what is recommended in one instance Is discouraged in the next Taking the mat ter of grazing in forest. Throughout the more extensive woodlands of the Middle West run thousands of wild or semi-wild hogs. In the Tennessee forest it was rec commended that every possible effort be made to extermnate these. for the reason that they eat the mast and thus prevent the growing of young trees from the seed. But in the working plan before mentioned 1t Is advised that hog grazing be encouraged. The reason for the difference is this: The former forest is chiefly mast-bearing hard wood. The latter is mainly pine. and what hardwood there Is in mixture serves as q intolerance to young pine growth. There fore In this forest. the presence of hogs which eat the mast and check the hard wood is a benefit; while in the other. where hardwood is the staple, the animals are a nuisance

Words for ordinarv Purposes.

St, Louis Gtobe Democrat
 ''The small number of words actually necessary for ordinary purposes in our ev- eryday life is surprising, and nothing illus trates this better than the limited vocabu- lary of little child" pr. NJ Harris said T have a daughter years old She is able to make all her wants known. to talk freely and easily. If an adult knew just the number of words in a foreign tongue that she knows in her own he would be able to get along nicely In conversational way with people who spoke nothing but that lam guage What the ohild's vocabulary com prises, how many words and of what classes I recently made it my business to ascertain in series of investigations extending over considerable period of time. I found that the total number of words she knew and used was just S52, emitting proper names, and that 64 per cent. of these were nouns, IS per cent. verbs and Ii per cent. adjectives the remainder being made up of conjunctions, propositions and pronouns.

The Moro Does Everything Left handed.

From the Journal of Military Service h.
 stitution.
 To judge Mcros by infiexibIe Occidental standards of motives and morals is to lose at once the key to the situation. The very structure of their language differentiates them from ourselves, Verbs are in the pas slve voice. The man who was slashed and killed provoked the trouble. The under dog In the fight Is always the ,aggressor The thief is not blamed for finding things lying about at loose ends; the man who lost the property is the real criminal-besides he is fool If he were a sensible man he would have exercised vigilance against the approach of the thief. Moros reverse ev- erything. Like Orientsls. they venerate the past and their folklore myths and leg ends abound in tales not uplike those of the Arabian Nights entertainment b They turn to the left of the road, extend the left hand naturally in greeting. and the scribes write from right to left. turning the paper sidewise. as any left-handed man would do.
 witty officer explained that the pref erence for the left was due to the desire to keep the right hand free In the event & stranger should need something done to him The "explanation'' may not be far from the truth.

No Extoriion
 in St. Louis.
Liberal Accommodations at Modernt. RAtes Assured by tho AdminIw-
 tratiOm.

The management of the St. I,ovts Worlds Fair Is determined that visit ors to tie great Exposition shall enjoy ample accommodations at reasonahIe rates, hence under its auspices an enormous hotel called The Inside Inn mas been erected inside the grounds of the Exposition.
 This splendid hostelry is three sto. ries high, 400 feet wide and 800 feet long. It contains spacious parlors reading-rooms and receptton-roorns Its dining-room and restaurant seats 2S00 people at time and 1t contains 225T sleeping apartments. All visit ors to this hotel enjoy the same ser vice and the~same excellent table. tba range of prices being determined sim ply by the location and size of tho rooms. The hotel is run on both the European and American plans and rates vary from $1.50 to $5.5O per day European. and from $500 to S7 m American, including admission.
 The Inside Inn is under the personal supervision and management of NTr D, M. Statler. the well-known restau- ranteur of Buffalo. which fact alone guarantees the high quality of the cuI- sine and service.
 The comfort and convenience tbus afforded visitors in not having to % outside the grounds or of mourning the trouble and crushing of street cars and suburban railway service cannot he overestimated Once a visitor is rer- istered at The Inside Inn no further admission fee to the Exposition is charged. and after a tiring morning or afternoon one can readily return to their room, wash and rest up. refresh themselves with a flrst-class meal and then turn out and enjoy the pleasures of the evening in the Exposition grounds.
 The enormous capacity of The Inside Inn assures good accommodations for all. no matter when or in what num- bers they come--but those who prefer to reserve their rooms in advance can do so now.
 Full details of rates and reserva- tions can be had by sending a postal card to The Inside Inn, care of Admin istration Bldg, Worlds Fair Grounds. St. Louisa (3)

TUESDAY, MAY 8, 1904.
BY WAY OF REPLY.

We print this morning what The Birmingham Age-Herald has to say about the position of this paper on the question of the Alabama delegation to St. Louis. We would be glad If our Birmingham contemporary would have the fairness, not to say decency. to do the same when 1t has occasion to as- sail The Advertisers position. It has been but a few days since The Adver- tiser stated positively and emphati- eally that 1t was opposed to an in- structed delegation, but contended, and still contends, that the delegates should vote as a unit
 The Age-Herald ought to be able to understand that under the unit rule, the hands of the Alabama delegation will not be tied 'on the day the con- vention meets" or before that time. They will be free to go to St. Louis and consult with other delegates and with each other and decide how the vote of the State should be cast so as to best subserve the interests of the Democratic Party. and when that de- cision is reached the vote should be cast solidiy. otherwise 1t will have no force.
 We do not know what dark horse, or other breed of animal, The Age- Herald is holding out for, whether it is German or some other man. for 1t hesi- tates to come out in the open and name its man. It seems to entertain a hope that the delegation from this State will be split up and will not be able to command any influence for Judge Parker, if he should prove to be the man. An uninstructed. divided delegation from Alabama would have little Influence.
 If we had no other reason for favor ing the unit rule there is just one which would be ample, and that Is that Alabama Democracy may not be discredited by casting one or more votes for Hearst. The Democracy of this State is overwhelmingly against the New York editor. but 1t may be that he will have strength enough in one or two Congressional Districts to secure a delegate. In that case, the first State on the roll call would dis credit itself and the Democracy by casting some of it's votes for an im- possibility. To avoid that reproach would be a sufficient reason for advo- eating the unit rule, if there could be no other. We want the Alabama dele gation to go unbound as to any can didate, but we want them to act and vote together when the time comes, and the man is found,
 If our memory is not seriously at fault, The Age Herald was not oppos- ed to instructions and unit rules in 1896, when it wanted a candidate who favored free silver. It was all right then to have the States delegation bound to the chariot of a dangerous man and dangerous theory, but is all wrong now to require the delegates to unite in support of man who may be able to save both the Party and the country.
 As to what The Age-Herald says about kneeling lat the ponderous feet of Grover Cleveland" that is a species of argument CD which is too contempt ibie to reply to. We can assure our Birmingham contemporary, however, that we shall never be so hard put to it for political knowledge that we shall feel obliged to sit at It's feet to learn what Democracy is.

W. J. BRYAN WILL NOT SAY
In Advance Whether He will or Will
 Not Rolt

Indianapolis special to New York World.
 William J. Bryan has written letter U an Indianapolis Democrat which is causing somewhat of a sensation in local Democratic circles. The letter was ex- hibited at the meeting of the Marion County Democratic Club. and there was spirited discussion over whether OF not 1t should be given to the public.
 A member of the club wrote to Mir. Bryan to ask if there is any truth in the reports that he will bolt the Democratic National Convention if the nominee and platform do not suit him.
 MT. Bryan replied that no seif-respect- ing man can say In advance of a political convention that he will support the nomi- nee of the convention, no difference who he may be, or the platform, no matter what it may contain.
