CATER ON ROOSEVELT.

Mr. James c. Carter is not only the
head of the New York bar, he is at
the head of the American bar. He has
been President of the city, State and
National associations of lawyers, and
has obtained these honors, not because
he sought them, but for the simple
reason lawyers everywhere recognize
and acclaim him. the most distinguish
ed living ornament of their profession
In this country.
Mr.. Carter has recently been elected
President of the Parker Constitution
Club of New York city, an organita-
ton which has for its object the bring
Ing together of all lawyers in the
United States who believe the Repub-
lican Party under the lead of Presi-
dent Roosevelt is driving the Govern
ment further and further away from
paths laid down by the law and the
organic frame of our Government. Par
ker Constitution Clubs, 1t Is hoped by
she founders, Will spring up every
where as a protest against the wilful
lawlessness OF the present occupant of
the White House.
Mr.. Carter has lent his name to the
formation of still another club in New
York city. one composed of college
men exclusively. This club has opened
headquarters and will proceed to form
a national organization.
There is one feature in Mr.. Carriers
letter to one OF the officers OF the col
lege club that is. to say the least. puz-
cling. He strongly deprecates making
this campaign a personal one against
Roosevelt, saying he is great ad-
mirer of the President. He then pro-
ceeds with the utmost vigor and grav-
fly to prove that the Republican Par
ty is maintained for purposes of plum
dcF-he uses the word plunder-and
alleges that Roosevelt has first truckled
and then surrendered to these selfish
interests in order to retain his place.
What is there to be admired in that?
He goes right on to show that Roose-
Welt has totally disregarded the law
in issuing his pension order. adding
millions TO the expenses of the Gov
eminent by a stroke of his pen. What
Is there admirable in that? He goes
still further and charges him with
putting a fake republic on its feet at
the Isthmbus of Panama. What is
there admirable about that?
Every line of Mr.. Carriers powerful
Indictment would appear to be aimed
straight at Roosevelt and proves him
TO be reckless and INSCRIPTIONS. So
we nre at a loss 10 see why the dis
tinguished Jurist of New York thinks
the personality of the President should
not be made an issue. 1t is one in
fact and will continue an issue In
spite of all possible hushing up by
newspapers and friends. Roosevelt
earnestly desires TO DO an issue; his
party here put him up as an Issue and
;hr democrats gladly welcome the task
OF showing 20 the people that with all
his boosted independence. he wears the
cloak Of q hypoerite.

Some Words OF Instructions About the
Pest.
Ell Campo, Texas, Aug. 81.
Editor The Advertiser
In your issue of the 18th, I notice
q special from Tuscaloosa where your
correspondent reports a supposed boil
weevil. Judging from the description,
don't think he has the weevil.
alarmed II they think they have the
boil weevil, for I have seen cotton that
would not make a bale to eighteen
acres, and on land as good as the best
prairie land you have in Montgomery
County. This Is not always the case,
per acre all in the. same section.
The weevil really has the wrong
name for they prefer to work in the
squares while they are very tender, and
than any. where else have seen
one field in which they were so thick
they never allowed cotton to bloom
having made the squares fall off before
they bloomed. l am sure there was
not ten bales of seed cotton on fifteen
acres, with weed that would average
three feet high. 1t was my cotton
and I am not guessing
II you should look for a weevil and
succeed In finding one, you would have
little black corn weevil, that is in
every mans corn In Alabama. He is
about three times as large as the corn
weevil. instead of being black, he is
light brown and has the appearance of
having ashes sprinkled on his back.
You can't mistake him, just remem-
Der the hard shelled, long billed corn
weevil. You will find him in the
square, and II you will notice the bud
in the square, you will find from one
to half Ii dozen punctures, or scars
about the size of a period.
II the square has been stung long
enough, 1t will be open and have a
sicky yellow cast, and very likely be
on the ground. Take one off the
and open 1t and you will likely and
small white worm, something like
hickory nut worm and II you will
place a few such worms on a bottle
you Will have as many or more weevtls
in few days as you had squares.
The weevils are going east and
north and it Is very likely that your
readers will see them some day to their
sorrow. Louisiana has laws prohibit
ing the shipment of cotton seed, hay
etc, from Texas, but the weevils have
wings and do not have to ride on
trains.
1t will be we'll for your readers to
keep posted about the weevil that they
may know 1t when 1t comes and not
raise cotton and not know what is the
matter.
The Agricultural Department is
making every effort possible to find
a remedy for the weevil. and the farm
ers should get department bulletins
and post themselves about the weevils
II you care 70 give this to your
readers trust it will be of some benefit
to them. Yours truly.

THE NEW ENGLAND SITUATION.

Vermont holds a State election the
first week in September and Maine
follows the next week. There is pre-
tense being made on both sides that
there is no significance in the Septem-
her elections in those two states. They
are both Republican stronghold 1t is
said. and for that party to carry them,
would be the Dutch taking Holland.
The Republicans in fact look on the
situation there with no small amount
OF apprehension and If the result shows
distinct falling off in their vote, we
shall see some busy editors and poll
ticians making explanations and pre-
pairing desperately to defend their
cause in the doubtful states. What
ever the make-believe professions in
any quarter there is a meaning to be
found, inference to be drawn, from the
size of the majorities in Vermont and
Maine. 1t is gratifying accordingly to
see the National Democratic Commit
tee putting some of the best speakers
at it's command in the field, and among
them Edward NJ Shepard of New York
/ No man is better able than he to state
the issaes before the country and we
cannot believe the effective statement
OF these to the dwindling array of far
mers of those two New England States

Gus rest in Maine, SO as to be close
to the fight and to aid when he can.
In short the Democrats as little as the

know a practical defeat there for the
Republicans would mean more energy
10 be put in the canvass on both sides
to win in November, but the Democ-
racy would profit the more, as there
are growing tired of corrupt, extrav-
asant and adventurous administration.
In Massachusetts the reciprocity peo-
pie have Senator Lodge humping to
save his own skin. President Whitney
of the Boston Chamber of Commerce
announces that he has procured the
signatures of $1,000 Republicans who
pledge themselves to vote for Roose-
welt. and at the samo time work and
vote for reciprocity with Canada. The

do not boast They observe that while
he courts praise as the pattern of pure
politics he cultivates the favor OF
bosses whose names are synonyms OF
political corruption. They observe
that while he poses as the most earn
est and implacable of civil service re-
formers he has suspended the regula-
lions seventy times to give places 70
his favorites. In the five years of
President McKinley's administration he
exercised this privilege but once. The
record of his substitution of his per.
sonal Will for the orderly processes of
law might be recapitulated at great
length were there space for it. The
tendency of his career In office has
been to attach to him the soldiers of
politics and the jingoes of the national
life, but to weaken the confidence of
men who are chiefly concerned for the
integrity of our system of government
and the preservation of honorable
peace.

The Industrial condition of New Eng
