oLINoIN0 TO AN Ipox..

Peopie do not usually have a good ! opinion of quittcr. Contrariwise, they like a stayer, even though heI may not show much. judgment by staying In poll itics the man who sticks to one thing may not be esteemed for perspicacity, but
 will be admired for his loyalty and g;it
 There's Col. Troup. of The New Haven Union, who still thinks Bryan the great est man of the bunch. In his opinion the Nebraskan is stili ''the idol of the common people," and stronger now than he was in 1896 or 1900. He could poll more votes than any man who is reach- ing for the Democratic nomination" says Colonel Troup. That may be true, como to think of it, for the only man who is now really reaching for it is Hearst. and perhaps Bryan could get more votes than he could.
 It is true, as The Union admits, that Mir. Bryan claims not to be a candidate, but" 1t declares. "the tactics of his political enemies may so arouse the com-
 mon people that they may call upon him at St. Louis to take the party stand ard and carry 1t to victory" There's loyalty for you, even if 1t is not backed by sound judgment and political fore sight. There's about as much prospect of the nomination being forced on Bryan as there Is of a snowstorm while the convention is In session. Perhaps the expression forced on him" is not a proper one. There would be no call for force if the convention should nominate
 him. He wouldn't need to be lassoed in order to make him stand and take it. Wonder who are those Common peo- ple' who are likely to dominate tine convention? Does The Union really be- lieve that the friends of Bryan will con- stitute a majority of that body7 And | are there no common people, except those who look up with trembling rever- ence to the towering taiker of the Platte? | We thought the voters oY the country
 comprised all the common people. as dis- tinguished from the takers. and when The Union talks about the Democratic
 voters of the country going to St. Louis l and calling upon Bryan to take command I of Democracy and lead it to victory he I talks nonsense, doncher know 2 1 To speak of Bryan leading the party to
 victory would indicate that the speaker
 was far gone in senility. did we not know
 that Colonel Troup is a very vigorous and
 sensible old man. He merely allows his
 loyalty to blind his eyes to facts and to
 blu: his perceptions. But even loyalty can become ridiculous.

A MONDAY ADVERTISER.

Beginning next Monday The Advertiser will be published seven days in each wee,:. y f5 H-
 It has always been the purpose of The Advertiser to supply the people of Ala bama with the news. We have believed that there was no urgent demand for chronicling events of Sunday, and. pledg- ing ourselves to publish a newspaper when such a demand arose, we have thought 1t best to rest one day in the week. ~
 During the war with Spain The Ad- vertiser was published seven days in the week because we felt that there was keer interest in the war news. The pub lie is now interested in another war and the interest makes 1t necessary to cater to the wishes of the public.
 Tn other words, The Advertiser prom ised to give the people of Alabama a Monday morning newspaper when. in Its Judgment, Monday morning newspaper was a necessity. That time has come.
 The Advertiser will hereafter be issued sso days in the year. not only during the war in the East. but nermanently..

soxE ELEcIoR1AL FTaGR-s.

The vote III tnc eiectordi Coie5c dt us next meeting, If 1t can be called d meet ing. will be 47s and 2ss votes will be neces- sary to a choice. The States that will al- most certainty be Democratic are these: Alabama CID. Arkansas SD. Florida G). Georgia. 1s), Kentucky Q3). Louisiana @), Mississippi uey, Missouri d9. North Car olina u2). South Carolina 60. Tennessee QD, Texas dE. and Virginia u2).' with a total of l5l electoral votes.
 The States that may be reckoned as al most certain to cast their votes for the Republican candidates are: Indiana Q5). Iowa ds). Kansas Q0), Maine (0. Massa- chusetts u0. Michigan d). Minnesota uD. New Hampshire (D. North Dakota tD. Ohio ca. Oregon @. Pennsylvania sD, Rhode Island D. South Dakota D, Vermont (D, Washington 6), West Vir- gfnia @, Wisconsin C1s), and Wyoming (3), with a total. of 194 electoral votes.
 That the remaining States are to be con- sidered doubtful will depend of course upon the individual judgment and much more in fact upon the man selected as a candidate by the Democratic party. These States are as follows: California dW. Colorado 5), Illinois CD, Maryland G0, Montana G).. Nebraska @). Nevada (9, New Jersey Q2o, New York Css). Utah 0, with a total of 123 votes.
 We have placed in the doubtful list four States that were carried by Bryan in 1900. po 1ahn rA Nevada. If any transfer had to be made at this time, the last three would properly go into the Republican column. The Re- publicans have in effect already named their candidates. There may be some clustering here and there, but there seems to be no reasonable doubt that Theodore Roosevelt will be named by his party to succeed himself. He Is, If not so strong in the West as he once was, still proper tionally stronger there than in the East He is strong in the West. It might well be claimed for him that instead of 19i he will have 2Os assured votes In the next electoral college and this would leave il doubtful votes.
 1 Let us add to the number assured fol the Democratic candidate Ib1. the number to be cast by old-timer reliable Democrati' States, New Jerseys F. Delawares ana Maryland's and we have 174. New Yorl is naturally Democratic and Judging. il we may. let us add New York's Ss to thu Democratic column and We should have 213 votes, 26 short of a majority in tht college. Illinois has 2 votes and apart from such casual figuring as we are nov indulging in the sign is a plain one that Illinois will be rocked from turret to foun' dation stone in the great political contest of this year.
 If Illinois had strong, forceful Demo. crat of national reputation. one who in- vited and inspired confidence. there is lit- tie doubt where the Democratic nomina- ton would go. In default of such a cam didate Congressman Williams of Illinois is evidently running to amuse his friends whither shall the Democracy turn?
 We do recall that a Democrat once carried Illinois for the Presidency. Nor was this before the war. z

of repression. The intolerance and ex- cesses of the trades unions win lead to government control and supervision if they keep on. and 1t may not stop there. President Elliott. of Harvard Universally, recently suggested the expediency and propriety of government control of both organised capital and organised iAeor. This may come end it will be no credit to our people. but h will be a natural result of two wrongs. The trusts are im- posing on and wronging the people. The unions are wronging employers as well as iaborins men who do not belong to unicns. Both are wrong. and between them they may force the adoption of re- pressive legislation. It is not desirable, but 1t may come and the blame will lie on those who cause such legislation.

Still Knocking Roosevelt.

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune CRepl.
 Senator, Congressmen, editors. State chairmen, political bosses and political whips, Cabinet ministers and Government gaugers, labor leaders and Wall Street sharks, men of all classes, conditions, races and colors. have been invited, dined, consulted and organized by a civil-service President to nominate himself for the highest office in the gift of the American people.
 We regret. for the honor of the Repub- lie. that the most vicious form of machine politics has been and Is now being exer- cised by the occupant of the White House
 Such methods have been left to State bosses or ward and district wire -pullers, and the Presidents of the United States heretofore have not stopped to personal power to select themselves as their own successors.
 As citizens We regret1t. as Republicans we resent 1t.

The Distinctive Japanese Nose.

In Japan the nose is the only feature which attracts attention. The nose determines the beauty or ugliness of the face. according as 1t Is big or small. This ference in noses constitutes about the only distinction between the Japanese face and another. The eyes are invaria- bly, black, the cheek bones high and the has huge proboscis is always a great beauty and a reigning belle. There are 2 few large noses among the natives, ana lucky Is he or she upon whom nature lavishes one. In all Japanese pictures representing the supposedly beautiful woman the artist invariably improves on nature by depicting this feature as aono' maliy deVelopeA.

Porto Rico and Stat hood.
Washington Post.

washington Post.
 Has Porto Rico been pushing along another step toward statehood to the American Union?" We hope not. If The Post could amend the Constitution of the United States it would put an anti-insu' lar statehood amendment into that great charter. If a majority of the people and a majority of the States could thus amend their Constitution. We think they would be glad to do so. While our citizens feel kindly, even generously. toward the Porto Ricans. and intend to make their rela- tion to this Republic a great and lasting blessing to them, there is conspicuous to open the door and take their island in- to the Union family. The mistake that was made in acquiring sovereignty over a thousand or more of islands, most of them situated on the other side of the globe, and inhabited by 70OO,o coo or 5000, ,oOO of people few, if any. of whom are ca tions. would be magnihed a hundredfoid If statehood were open to them.

AhC 1]NSHAh5 AihASS Ah NS ASSuc oL JCo- terday afternoon contained a report of the Bryan speaking on Thursday night. and in that report was this mis-state- ment:
 He announced here that he would de- part from his regular address.
 "Because, he said, ''I understand that you have here one of the most venomoua and unfair newspapers of any city in the country
 This aIlusion directed with evident feel ing against The Advertiser brought the distinguished editor of our morning con- temporary to his feet and for several minutes the audience enjoyed a big play in the way of colloquy between statesman and editor that was not an ordained fea- ture of the evenings program
 We are sorry that any one would for a moment entertain the idea that tne Editor of The Advertiser would Interrupt Mr. Bryan at his own meeting, because he saw proper to express his views about this paper. It was his own meeting ard as MT. Cleveland expresses it, The held the stage" and had a perfect right to enjoy and employ 1t as he saw proper. If his remarks about The Advertiser, although ne did not mention 1t by name. gave him any pleasure. we have no cause to complain. It did us no harm The Editor of The Advertiser was not brought to his feet by anything said ] at that meeting.

A Visitor from Michigan.

Notwithstanding have met MT. .Bry- an several times" said Mir. Garrett Smith Brown of Detroit. Mich, T heard him speak for the first time at the Mont gomery Theatre Thursday night. It may be that was disappointed because am an ardent Republican, but I confess that I detected none of the burning eioquence with which report credits him"
 MT Brown Is a wealthy Detroit man. ufacturer, and brother-ln-law of Charles 5. Lewis GYM. Quad'O. the famous Amer ican humorist. He Is visiting this section of the South the first time and declared with enthusiasm that his observations had delighted him.
 ''why,' he exclaimed. Montgomery will compare favorably with any city its size in this country. It's progressive ap- pearance. and bustling activity is rev citation to one who has grown up with q vague sort of notion that you Southern people are slow and apathetic.
 And do you know" he continued. low ering his voice after the manner of one about to make a confession, "I had for gotten. or overlooked the fact. until reached here, that Montgomery was tke first Capital of the Confedcracy. NCth- ing has interested me quite so much as my visits to the historic old State House"

Campaign of Schools.

T noticed some tirae ago that The Advertiser said something about the con. dftion Of the public schools at West End, said patron of the city schools, and thought at the time that you might as well have put in the school on Beiiinger Hill. There are no desks or conveniences of any kind there and the pupils are not taught writing at all.
 "l know that there were some difficult ties to contend with at first, but they have been removed and l see no reason why desks cannot be provided for the schools, as they are movable and may be bought one time as well as another and moved to the new buildings when built.
 Tt looks very much like the Council can do nothing without a wrangle and delay. Is 1t because there are so many conflicting interests and that the desire Is to please the favorites, or is 1t because the Aldermen just like to delay and give the public all the inconvenience they can? It must be one of these reasons, either one of which is unworthy the men who are fit to represent the people of this great city in the municipal legislature.
 T do not see why all the conveniences cannot be provided these schools at once and the erecting of the buildings not be allowed to conflict or delay the instruc- tion of the youths of the city?'
