present aspect of affairs, Hanna can
see that his own nomination might

party gravely problematical. His

in it than Is generally accredited to It.

The object of the game (the Wall

mind, is the defeat Of Roosevelt.
1t is the presidents intention to
have the first talk with Taft, and to
lay the whole situation before him.
The president and his friends do not
believe that Taft will consent to the
Hanna program.
Hanna Was Ambitious.
There is no doubt that Senator
Hanna has. in the past, cherished
mbitions to be the nominee himself:

Hanna cannot stand on the Roosevelt
! platform. What he stands for is too
we'll known. When Mckinley was
alive. and the prospective issue prom

was logic in the candidacy Of McKin-

With Roosevelt dethroned, and Taft

quite powerful enough to suit his de-

fresh milk contains elements fatal to

NepIected Wealth.

Birmingham Ledger.
 The Montgomery Advertiser says that Alaabma can make as good cane syrup as any State. That is true. but Alabama does not do so. This State imports thousands of barrels Of syrup every year and Alabama money goes out of the State to pay for 1t. Much of the stuff we buy is a chemical com pound that never came from cane. Consumers would buy the cane syrup even at d higher price if they could get it.
 Cane clubs could be formed on the farms, and neighboring farmers could plant cane and have it made into syrup at a mill that belonged to the stockholders, who should be farmers. In that way the syrup would all be of one quality and could find market :: That would not involve the cost mill for each farm. yet any few acres of cane could find a market at the mill :.
 These neighborhood mills would soon lead to neighborhood canning factories and preserving factories which in few years would materially benefit the farmers, and through them the whole State.
 Alabama made enough syrup to supply her people during the war, but the industry, profitable as 1t was. gave way to all cotton or to plain crops as soon a,S necessity was removed From its production.

INFORMATION WANTED.

It Is a deserving penchant of the e.- teemed Montgomery Advertiser to en- weeklies on questions about which, be- cause of limited facilities which they possess, the latter are in ignorance: and the press of Southern Alabama is to be congratulated upon having Ia contemporary so ready and willing to impart information on the burning questions of the day. Since the begin. ming of the Russo-Japanese race to St. Petersburg, there has constantly been set before us in the metropolitan press such awful nightmares In the shape of names that, while we have in a man. ner gotten used to 1t, we are afraid we not going to ask The Advertiser to pro- nounce lot of these names for us- not bit of 1t. But we just do wish it would tell us how many ways the Czarevitch--can be spelled and still be recognized as such.-Greenville Advo- cate.
 A feeling of sympathy for the ma- chimes and operators restraints The Ad- vertiser from dealing in Russian names when 1t can be lodged. Even in the case to which The Advocate refers, there is no authoritative pronunciation. The revised Encyclopedia Dictionary Czarewitch, without preference to either. Then the Century Dictionary comes in with few additions, such as Czarowitch Cesarevitch and Cesare- witch. and in addition to these we have French and German variations to make the subject interesting. The Russians themselves have Tsarevitch and Tsare- vichu to twist and complicate the sub ject. and we suspect that we might find a number of other methods if we cared to. You pays your money and takes your choice"

THE LAST DISGRACE.

For the first time in it's history Ala oama has been disgraced by the talk Ing of a prisoner from the custody of her soldiery. If the reports are correct, fires were made ito smoke put the Sheriff and the militia in the sail." Yet the Sheriff and the militia, according to the same accounts, hud- dled there as unresisting as rats. The door was broken down. The soldiers of the State were inside, with muskets in their hands. Not shot was fred The Fire Department came to put out the fires and was driven back with "a vol ley of pistol shots" Veritable hell broke loose and anarchy reigned su- preme. The excuse is that nothing could be done, without endangering the lives of scores of people,"
 The Alabama laws make abundant provision for such contingencies, and give vast power to sheriffs and mili- tary officers. They can regulate streets. They can prescribe dead line. They can close liquor saloons and gun shops. They can order crowds to dis perse. They not only have the right of self-defense, but the law authorizes them to take any requisite steps, even to shooting. without any warning. when rioters are engaged In storming a jail or attacking the troops.
 The young men who belong to our National Guard are not generally cow ards. Who is responsible for the hu- initiating part they played at Hunts ,ville? Didn't the Sheriff know 1t was his duty to fire on the mob, if neces- sary to save his prisoner? Didn't the militia officer know 1t was his duty to fire, when he and his command were being smoked out and his sentries rushed?" It is time to quit the farce of calling out military to guard a jail if they are not to fght. They are put on guard to kill persons who assail the Jail. That Is their business. If the first man who struck match to smoke out the soldiers had been shot, that would have ended the mob. volley fired into the crowd which came within the forbidden limits. would have set tied the lynchers. If her militia are to $stand with folded hands, when such deNiltry is enacted as took place around the HeRtsville jail, the sooner the mill itia is disbAsded the better.
 The most searching investigation should be made by the military author ities and the courts to get out all the facts, and place the blame where it belongs. Let us hope for the sake of the posterity of the Confederate sol diers that the National Guard were re- strained by orders from firing Noth- ing else can excuse them. There are no extenuating circumstances in this Huntsville outrage. The law would have punished the murderer who was murdered by the mob.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-09-09

The Montgomery Advertiser Is in clined to charge up nasty legislation to the quadrennial session, when the ses- sion thas passed those immature laws came along in two years after it's prede- cessor and had a sixty day session in stead of the regular fifty-ten more days for consideration.-Birmingham Ledger.
 The Ledger misses the point. The Advertiser has not argued that quad rennial sessions were the cause of hasty legislation for such a contention would be absurd. Our point is that if the Legislature met at least as often>as ev- cry two years bad or imperfect laws could be amended or corrected without an extra session or without suffering the inconvenience of such laws four years. Conditions now existing in Ala bama justify our position, as The Led ger must see.

"TOuch Not"

Editor The Advertiser.
 While the public believed that the threat of selling Court Square was merely big stick to hold over some obstinate property owner, 1t took lit tie interest in a discussion that seem- ed purely academic, but as the ques- tion has really reached the City Coun- cil, 1t is quite time that the indigna- tion of the community find expression.
 The public square Is the most express sive feature of Montgomery; it Is this fine plaza that gives 1t distinction in the eyes of the stranger; it is here that the life of the city and of the county pulsates. it is in little the South; every distinguishing character istic of our land. rural and civic, Is found here, and 1t would rob the city of most unique charm to destroy this very heart of hearts of the whole South.
 Let us have sky scrapers if we will tho no sky scraper was ever built that was not a hideous monstrosity. but there are acres of land to put them on without taking the peoples pro- perty.
 This city Is not so congested as to require that it's streets be sold for building purposes.
 While the State is about to enlarge and improve its grounds to make the States capital more healthful, daring men. mistaking zeal for progress, are trying to deface and disfigure our fair town.
 The fountain Is not great work of art, but 1t is graceful and of fine pro- portions, pleasing to the sight and with its pool and plashing waters, infinitely refreshing and it fits its surround ings. The guests of our new hotel will not come South to see skyscrapers, and a huge building where once clus- tered the richest traditions of the South. will excite in their minds, not admiration for our enterprise, but deri- sion for our bad taste.
 The Council has done wisely in re- tecting the proposition in committee, but the public mind should not become familiar with the idea that 1t can be seriously discussed. c. w. Craik.

Sustain the Law.

Editor The Advertiser:
 The good people in every commit nifty are largely responsible for the order that prevails there. The power of public opinion Is all pervading. How are people to know the sentiments of community, if its people will not boldly speak out in condemnation of wrong? When shocking lynching occurs in a community, it would do d world of good if its substantial citi- zens would hold a mass meeting. and condemn it. It would stiffen the arm of the law, immeasurably. One of the most hopeful signs of an awakened consciousness of the duty of society to bring every agency to bear against lynching, is the action of the Mctho- dist Church at Statesboro. Let us have more of it. If good citizens sit still and allow hoodlums to lynch every time they take a notion this State will soon relapse into barbarism
