FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER ?, 1904
DEMOCRATIC EDITORS.

The proposed gathering in New York of Democratic editors of the United States on the 7th and Sth insts. promi- ses to be successful affair. Many prominent editors have already signifed their intention to be present. Hon. H. D. Clayton, National Committeeman from this State, wrote a letter to MT. Jacob Pepperman asking him, as Sec retary of the Alabama Press Associa- tion, to make known the fact that every Democratic editor in Alabama was in vited. Which fact Mir. Pepperman asks The Advertiser to publish. He also asked that any who might wish to attend should at once notify Mir. Josephus Daniel. chairman of the Committee of Arrangements. It Is contemplated to make a visit to Judge Parker and MT. Daniel, whose address is New York city, wants to know who will be present so as to pro- vide for their going on the trip to Esopus. If Alabama editors, therefore, wish to be at this great meeting they should lose no time In letting it be known.

Some children are mighty hard to control. Whether 1t is the old Adam in them, or whatever may be the cause they are forever getting into scrapes in some way and causing trouble and worry in the family. Here, for ex- ample, is a cub barely 60 years old whose so-year- mother was forced to have him up Tn the New York po- lice court for disorderly conduct. We have not seen the particulars-whethe he had been stealing jam, pulling the eats tail, or going to bed without washing his feet, or what was the par ticular pecadills of which he was guilty. Sufficient that he misbehaved so badly that the mother was forced to have him arrested and probably sent to a reformatory. Pity she wasn't physically able to apply a bed-slat where it would do most good and thus pound little good behavior into him. It is wrong for a woman to have to control such obstreperous boys as this one.

Palmer says there are enough operators in the Govern ment Printing Office to take care of all the machines which have been ordered. The work this summer has been un- usually heavy" he added. and large force of printers has been employel The introduction of the machines is all experiment, and 1t can not be foretold how 1t will affect the men here, but there is no prospect of the discharge of any of the regular force. There Is a temporary force employed here also, and of these various numbers are laid on or taken on as the amount of work warrants. It is possible that some of these listed under this head may De chimes"

A magazine published in Cincinnati, called The Republican, speaking of the South and the race question, tells it's readers that "a quarter of a century of permitting the South to settle the question in her own way seems to clearly prove that the Statesboro way is the favorite method"
 If we cared to argue with this in- curable idiot we would tell him in the first place that the South has not been permitted to have her own way in the matter. neither for a quarter of a century nor even for a quarter of a day. There is always some outsider, President or other, putting in, and the Etatesboro affair Is only one of the re- suits of that interference. That is the truth of the matter. but of course this ohio meddler will not admit 1t.

loftiest of the Andean peaks to a height of 2o,00o feet is not made altogether clear. Perhaps 1t is important that the exact el- evations of these towering points of land should be accurately determined. but beyond the addition to ha bi of information to our stock of knowledge mounain climbers of the type of Miss Peck do not seem to accomplish much more that the qualification of their own love of adventure and their desire to be first at the summits of the ice-clad rocks at the roof or the world"
