WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER is, 1904.
pREcEPr AND PRACTICE.

There is hardly any subject about which the President has been more in- siatent than the claim that he stands for honest government. Upon no oth- CT claim do his friends lay more stress. Honest government and civic right eousness are Rooseveltian watchwords.
 Has he lived up to these oft-iterat- ed precepts? When he openly and brazenly took up Addicks and Alice of Delaware. whose offences against hon est government are notorious through out the country. he belied his theory. When he sided with Lettauer he re- peated it. When he embraced Tom ticians of that stripe, there was a se- rious lapse. When he appointed the notorious Clarkson to a good position where he could carry out his schemes of bribery and corruption. the honest government business was dormant. He forgot his theories again when he took Addicks's tool. Byrne, from Delaware and gave him a good and important po- sition in New York.
 In what dark closet was his civic Righteousness hidden when he took Lou Payn to his breast? Where was 1t when a white postmistress was put out in Delaware because a tool of Ad- dicks wanted the place? Where was it when he took a Cabinet officer from his duties and made him chief fat fryer for his campaign? Where was 1t when he was going about with a pis- toi in his pocket as a shining example to law-breakers? What had he done with his civil service ideas, when he violated all propriety and fairness in order to promote and increase the sal ary of his pet. Leonard Wood?
 We might multiply instances, but where Is the use? No public official has ever made more loud and frequent pretences to civic honesty and violat- ed them more frequently and openly. In short. promise and practice are not associated in the Roosevelt code.

THE DESTITUTE ORPHANS.
They Are Not Destitute. But Have Been
 Provided For.


 Montgomery, Ala, Oct. IS. Editor The Advertiser:
 Dear Sir-Referring to your article in yesterdays issue headed Flight Des- titute Orphans" and your quotation from Secretary Gladden. Harrison of the Organized Charities.
 Please permit me to say that the eight houses destroyed by fire Sunday afternoon were located on the exten- sion of Clay Street and that the loss sustained by the occupants was quite severe, and especially to the eight or phans.
 The Fire Department left the ruins of this fire about p. m. and by z p. m. each homeless family was comfort ably located for that night and are now quite permanently located until the eight houses can be rebuilt.
 I have no objection to those charit- ably inclined giving literally to eight orphans, but desire the public to know that they have not and will not suffer while in our employ and that their ef- fects, which were destroyed by fire, has practically been replaced.
 It is both unfortunate and unfair that any should be under the impression that this mill does not take good care of its employees. Yours truly,
 Jno. R. Montgomery,
 Superintendent.

oArARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pieasant, Simple. but Safe and Effec-

A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and E6eca
 tual Cure for It.
 Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurable. The usual symptoms are full or bloat- ing sensation after eating. accompanied sometimes with sour or watery risings. formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs and difiicult breathing. headaches, fickle appetite, nervousness and general played out, languid feeling.
 There is often a foul taste in the mouth coated tongue and if the inte- rtor of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy. infiamed condi- tion.
 The cure for this common and obsti- nate trouble Is found in a treatment wnich causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before 1t has time 10 ferment and irritate the delicate mu- cous surfaces of the stomach. To se- cure prompt and healthy digestion is The one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion Is secured the catar- rhal condition will have disappeared
 According to Dr. Harlanson, ths safest and best treatment Is to use af- ter each meal a tablet, composed of Diastase. Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux. Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tab- lets can now be found at all drug stores uHuer the name or Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets and not being patent med;- cine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy appetite and thorough digestion will follow their regular use after meals
 MT. R. s. Workman, Chicago, Ills. writes: "Catarrh Is a local condition resulting from a neglected cold in ths head. whereby the lining membranes Of the nose becomes infiamed and the poisonous discharge there from passing backward into the throat reaches ths stomach, this producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities prescrib- ca for me for three years for catarrh or stomach without cure, but today I am the happiest of men after using only one oox of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. cannot ind appropriate words to ex- press my good feeling. I have found nesh appetite and sound rest from their use. ~
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest preparation as well as the sim. piest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, Catarrh of the stomach. biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn and bloating after meals.

Now comes Connecticut fruit grow CT and files a strong bill of indictment against little robin red-breast. affirm ing that he destroys half the crop of strawberries on an eight-acre field each season. It Is illegal to kill rob lns in that State and this farmer, writing to The Hartford Times. says he watched one of them on one occa- sion and he ruined two quarts of ber- ries at a single visit. This Is a seri- Ous charge. and if it is sustained, the little bird will lose much of the good reputation he has obtained as a de- stroyer of insect life.

 Tuskegee News.
 The esteemed Montgomery Advertiser Is being warmly censured on our streets this week for It's course in intermed- ding in the political affairs of this Congressional District by attacks upon the Democratic nominee for Congress, Hon. J. Thomas Hefiin, its Congress :. man and Congressman-t -to-be.
 We were present when MT. Hefiin made his speech last Monday and we have walked and talked with the peo- pie of the county since; and we have yet to find a man who does not endorss the. speech. with the exception of one remark. and who does not say that if any harm comes of that remark it is to be laid at the door of The Adver- tiser and its correspondent. The entire speech, from beginning to end was con- tinuously applauded; and at its conclu- sion the audience, composed of the re- resentatives people of the county, stood and cheered and the greater part of the audience shook Mir, Hefiin's hand. It was regarded by all as a courageous utterance, and made the speaker many friends; and did not cause man to realize the blunder that was made in his nomination"

It is a comfortable sort of feeling that comes with the knowledge that one's hard earned money is where it will be safe at all times. Aside from this element of safety, the money will be as much at your call as if you kept it at home, as it is always sub ject to check; then, too, a bank account will give you a decided advantage in keep ing track of your expendi- lures.

WHAT WILL THE END BEs


 WHAT WILL THE END BEs
 Was there ever in any war of mod. ern times such bloody and continuous lighting as is now going on in the Far East. what is the end to be? Is . question which may well be asked When the war began, 1t was freely predicted in many quarters that ii would be brief. but the end now seems as Tar off as ever. One thing Is. sure and that is that the Japanese have as tonished the world. not only by their courage and determination. but by their knowledge of all the arts of war and by the thoroughly up-to-date methods employed by them. In arms ammunition. ships and everything else connected with modern army and navy operations. this little nation has shown itself worthy competitor of any na- ton on the globe.
 Another thing which has been the subject of some surprise and much fa- vorable comment is the strict; regard for the humanities which has marked every step of the conflict. War is ilid- eous. cruel and inhuman at best, and there were many. perhaps a majority. who regarded the Japanese as little better than savages. who would con- duct war very much as other savages do. That this was a false conception has been apparent from the beginning. xxr- ( wish, but that does not detract from the reputation they have, won as the exemplars of all that is best and most humane In modern practice. If they equation of the term. they are such In the practice of Christian virtues in war. We doubt if the records of any Christian nation will show a more strict regard for mercy and humanity than these Japanese have done all along.
 Another prediction which was very common was that Russia, with her im- mense population and resources, could soon wear out or overpower her com paratively small opponent. but as yet we see no signs of such a result. The Japanese seem to have all the men and means they need. and if there Is lack of either, 1t is not yet apparent. In every battle they have both men and munitions sufficient for all their needs. and as yet we see no reason to suppose that either is likely to fail them.
 We think it both natural and right that the people of this country should sympathize with the little brown men and wish them success. Practically they are fighting for their rights. if not for their national existence, and that should appeal to all liberty-lov- ing people. The argument put forth by some that the success of Japan would be a menace to the United States is too absurd to disturb any one. Granting that she succeeds ip all her desires as to Russia. 1t gives no reason for this country to fear or dread her. Uncle Sam has shown ample ability to take care of himself on too many occasions to stand in dread of any foreign power, and especially of one which. if it succeeds in the pres- ent struggle, will be in no condition to tackle this government. even if the will was there. which we doubt. It is great pity that some adjustment cannot be arrived at which will be honorable and satisfactory to both Russia and Japan. and which will end a war almost without parallel in mod ern times.
