A REPUBLICAN RoLrER.

Theodore Cox has bolted the Republi- can ticket. Mir. Cox is a man of con siderable prominence in the State of New York, has been and if we mistake not Is now, the President of the State League of Republican clubs. It Is not so much the importance of this partic- ular bolter that will attract attention as the reasons he gives for his change, He puts these out in a manly, straight forward way. What has offended him in the President we may be sure has offended many another Republican, in fact every Republican, except Jacob A. Riis, though of course all those who criticize will not go the whole length with MT. Cox and vote for Judge Par ker in preference.
 MT. Cox first charges the President with being a "quitter" inasmuch as he publicly proclaimed his intention of carrying out the policies of President Mckinley and after some little bluster in that direction yielded submission to the high protectionists and in his speech of acceptance the other day talked the oldest, oldest rot of the high tariff school. His so-called war on the trusts is judged in the same way. When the Governor of Minne- sota, by means of the proceedings in- stituted there had directed attention to the Northern Pacific merger. Roose- welt took 1t up. When Knox pushed the matter to a successful issue. the further prosecution was stopped and TAddX began at once to intrigue for

AMONG THE DRY BONES.

Is Tom Watson a modern Ezekiel The old prophet was commanded by the Almighty to prophecy unto these bones" which filled the valley into which he had been taken. and, the prophet says: So I prophesied as ] was commanded. and as I prophesied there was a noise, and behold a shak- ing, and the bones came together, bone t0 his oone." Then we are told that the sinews and the flesh and the skin came upon the bones, but there was nc breath in them. Then Ezekiel was commanded by the Lord to prophecy again. and the breath came into them and they lived. and stood upon their feet" etc.
 And now MT. Watson. adopting the role of Ezekiel. has been talking to the dry bones of Populism and they are coming together, as those did in the valley. We hardly think there will be ''an exceeding great multitude" as there was in the other case, but there will be enough to create some kind of racket during the campaign. In two or three States they may exert some influence, as in Nebraska, where, they seem in a fair way to con- trol the State election. The course pursued there. by which Populists and Democrats divide the offices, the Pop ulists getting the lions share, is al most certain to turn the electoral vote over to Roosevelt. but may save the State ticket and give the mongrel Leg islature to Bryan. In all the older States. though, the commotion among the dry bones will produce no material results. but it gives Hon. Tom a chance to prophecy and get up a rattle among them,

Nothing to Boast Of.

TChattanOOga Times.
 Republican organs are cackling with great glee over the fact that The Chi cago Tribune, The Chicago Chronicle and The New York Sun have Topped. ; The Tribune never did support a Dem ocratic national ticket; The Chicago Chronicle only once and that grudginS- ly. while The Sun has been supportinR Republican tickets for the past sixteen years, The Republicans, therefore. papers have not bolted Roosevelt and Fairbanks, but there Is no accession to refer to these papers as "fioPpers On the other hand, there are some seventy all over the country that supported Nc Kinley in 1896 and in 1900 now cordi- ally supporting Parker and Davis There Is some significance in Hops" as numerous and as influential as these latter.

PAYING TWO a,oyrrNoRs.

There is considerable agitation by the State press of the matter of the payment of his salary to Governor Jelks while Lieutenant Governor Gun |ningham Is administering the once of Governor. Our evening contemporary. The Times. is quite earnest fin calling the attention of the public to the fact, and publishes communication in It's issue of Thursday from a correspon- dent s4who writes, under the name of
 "Citisen." This correspondent affirms rather dogmatically that the Consti- tuition and the laws of the State are very explicit upon this subject and to a llayman 1t would require very strong stretch of imagination to construe the flaw to mean that two Governors should be allowed to draw salaries at the same
 time and for the same service"
 In order to reach correct conclu- sion with respect to the proper con- struction of the constitution 1t is quite necessary to know what the terms of the constitution are. The constitution of 1875 contained this clause:
 The President Of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Represents
 tives. shall. during the time they re- spectively administer the government.
 the Governor would hays received II his ofiee. Pfo$iaed. that if the Gen.
 eral Assembly shair bs ii session du-
 them, shall receive no compsnsation ss
 members of the General Assembly while acting as Governor. While this Constitution was in force
 Governor Sanford was disabled by
 sickness to discharge the duties of his
 ofice and the President of the Senate
 administered the government. There
 was no question raised upon the right
 of the President of the Senate to re-
 ceive the salary. nor was there any
 question that the Governor was not en- titled to receive 1t. sBut the General
 Assembly appropriated the money nec- essary to pay the Governor.
 It was, no doubt, this circumstanc that caused the convention of 1901 to
 change this clause by the adoption ot the following clause:
 The Lieutenant Governor, President pro tenn of the Senate, Speaker of the House, Attorney General, State Audi tor, Secretary of State, or State Treas urer. while administering the office of Governor shall receive like compensa- ton as that prescribed by law for the Governor, and no other.
 The Legislature has fixed the salary of the Governor at $5,0o0 per annum
 and at its last session appropriated
 that sum for each of the years 1903
 1904. 1905 and 1906. It seems clear to The Advertiser that under the above
 clause of the present Constitution and | the act of the Legislature Governor Jelks is entitled to his salary. II | seems equally clear that Governor
 Cunningham is entitled to receive Hike | compensation" while administering the
 office of Governor during the disability | of Governor Jelks. Such clauses ci State Constitutions are usually con-
 strued. upon very sound reasoning, to
 be self-executing.
 Since writing the foregoing The Ad. vertiser has been furnished by Auditor
 Sowell with the opinion of Attorney General Wilson in this matter, which is printed elsewhere.

terms with J. Pierpont Morgan, So. too. he butted into one strike, but keeps hands of of every other that is now on.
 Tn foreign affairs. where there has not been bluster. there has been down. right intriguing ana shameless viola tion of treaties as in the case of Pan- anna. The telegram to Chadwick. "Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead" is rated. as all sensible linen must rate 1t. to be silly fustian in the light of the facts.
 | He is blamed, too, TOT making clerks into cabinet officers. the more surely to dominate the affairs of the govern ment. further his own personal ends; and then putting one of these cabinet officials in charge of his campaign. He is damned for making strong and wordy professions in favor of decency in politics and then consorting with every conspicuously dirty politician he can draw to his side: for dirt, Addicks for choice. This quality is so nota- ble in Roosevelt that Mir. Cox says in another man it would assuredly be deemed wholly dishonest.
 l The last bit of gallery playing cong sidered is the present one of "a meek man in Washington. This is taken a. further proof of the insincefity cf the man and not likely to deceive any body. The bolter concludes he will vote for Parker for he thinks ne Is honest. plain. sincere and aslover of constitutional government.
 We hardly suspect this New York Republican has been reading The Ad- vertiser. though his views might lead some persons to think so. Every characteristic of Roosevelt that has been hammered at through these col umns. reappears in this New Workers public repudiation of his old party's candidate. No; there Is one excep- tion. Nothing is said about Roose- welt and the negro. Possibly that pol. icy is not considered bad by some peo- pie in New York. He has, however, proved himself a auitter in giving dim ners to negroes. Washington has been at the White House often since the fa- nous dinner. but not to eat.

EIGHT HOUR LAW UNCONsTITU-
 TIONAL.

l It Is encouraging to note that the Supreme Court of New York has de- clared that the eight hour law enacted by the Legislature of that State is un- constitutional. The Nebraska State Journal. commenting on the decision, thinks that a law might be framed de- claring that in the absence of an agreement to the contrary between em- ployer and employe eight hours shall be days work and adds:
 | But law arbitrarily fixing any num- Der of hours as a days work is an Interference with the right of private contract. It will take a constitutional amendment to accomplish such pur- pose and such an amendment would be serious infraction Of the underlying principle of liberty. That principle is can work as many hours per day as he chooses. Most of the eight hour laws enacted at the request of union labor deny this ownership.
 Certainly that is sound doctrine. A law which arbitrarily bars a man from working more than eight hours out of the twenty-four. if he chooses to do so, or that prevents an employer from contracting with laboring men to work more than eight hours. is as much an infraction of mans natural rights as would be a law prohibiting him from working six days in the week.
 We are not contending that eight hours of hard manual labor out of the twenty-four would not be better for mankind, but 1t applies to the farmer as well as to the mechanic or the com mon laborer. If conditions were such that all men of all occupations could work eight hours day and no more, l and thus have more time for rest and recreation, the world would doubtless be the better for it, but that time IS not here and no law can bring it. | Whenever such a law is enacted and enforced human liberty is conspicuous | by its absence

Home Made Syrup.

NaItel Ala, Aug. l9. Editor The Advertiser:
 A few days since I read with much pleasure, that a company was being formed to manufacture syrup from sugar cane in Montgomery County and adjoining counties. have for the ing of ''Home-Made Syrup" from cane that can be grown on almost every farm within a radius of 100 miles of the Capital City.
 our home made" syrup when made by person, who knows how to boil and skim 1t. Much of our country made syrup Is of an inferior quality. because of not knowing how to take out the impurities. Much of the boil ing or evaporating the juice is left to persons of no experience and with but little regard to cleanliness and the result is sure to produce a poor article of syrup. There is taste about good home made syrup, that does not belong to our commercial syrup, and If sealed up in small packages when first made this fine taste may be pre- served as long as the packages re- main sealed and the reason why small packages are used is that a package may be used by a family before it be- gins to deteriorate. Whenever science comes in to relieve the juice of acidity and coloring matter this fine taste Is destroyed and does not taste like home made syrup"
 One half of the stalk of we'll ma tured cane will make sugar of as good quality as can be found anywhere, but of course the sugar will be brown and hence the need of sugar refinery, and I have no doubt but if the company to operate in Montgomery in syrup mak- ing will investigate the matter, they will find that fight. inexpensive sugar refining machinery can be put up in the city of Montgomery. that will be able to refine enough brown sugar to sup ply the trade of the surrounding coun- try.
 The soil will produce the raw ma- teriaL if some enterprising company will assure the farmer. that his cane will be turned into home made syrup or refined sugar. Sugar Is said to be cheap now, but no farmer would com-

KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING,

Deputy marshals of the United States are known 'as office deputies and
 field deputies. Section 10 of the ap- erns their appointment, the Attorney General being authorized to allow the marshal to employ the necessary office deputies and clerical assistance" etc. This law says, When any such office deputies is engaged in the service or attempted service of any writ, process or other order of the court. or when necessarily absent from the place of his regular employment, he shall be allowed his actual travelling expenses and his necessary actual expenses for lodging and subsistence, not to exceed $2 per day" These deputy marshaIs bear the same relation to the marshal that deputy sheriffs bear to the sheriff and have like powers. In the instruc- tions to United States marshals, issued by the Attorney General, page 21, is the form of oath the law requires an office deputy to take. T, -, do solemn ly swear that I will execute all lawful precepts directed to the marshal of the - District of - under the authority of the United States and true | returns make and in all things well and truly and without malice or par tiality perform the duties of the office of deputy United States marshal of the - District during my continuance in said ofice.' The rest of the oath Ia fn a~t ha
 acknowledgment that the oath Is taken without any mental reservation, etc. The requirement. of law Is that deputy United States marshals shall serve pro- cess, and the instrucuons enforce 1t by Section 76 which reads: "Office depu- ty marshals in addition to the work of the office shall serve the process of the courts, and perform such other duties as may be directed by the marshall"
 In the teeth of these plain provisions of law. and explicit requirements of the regulations, the excuse which some Republican politicians are putting up for the attempt to put a negro in the place of deputy marshal Tranmel, in the United States Marshal's office here, that he cannot come in offensive con tact with the public, is worse than pueriIe. They know very we'll that a negro deputy marshal would have to arrest a white man at times. They are seeking to imperil the peace and good order of the State. The negro applicant.
