CRITICISM THAT HURTS.
The President Anxious to Take the
 Stump.

The President Anxious to Take the New York Special to Louisville Cou-
 rier-Journal.
 The President is evidently chafing not a little over the severe criticism of his administration in the Parket letter of acceptance. It is said here that the Re- publican managers of the campaign have all they can do to keep him of the stump, and it is not unlikely that if the Democrats keep prodding him he will be making explanatory speeches before many days elapse.
 The wisdom of giving out Gen. Luke E. Wright's letter on conditions in the Philippines Is questioned in political circles. It effectively spikes the argu- ment that the FilipInos like our rule better than independence and want to stay with us at all hazards. A Federal off1c ceholder who recently returned from the Philippines asked a group of friends not long ago: "Why should there be any attempt to disturb conditions in the archipelago when the natives are perfected contented and happy under our rule ?'
 Many campaign orators had already begun to take this view and were citing as evidence the gradual withdrawal of the army and the signs of cordial feei- ing fer Taft in the Philippines. But the Luke Wright letter and It's promul- gation from the White House will put an end to that form of argument and throw the debate into the lines of four years ago.

REGISTER.

The books of registration will close failed to secure this great prerequisite to voting will have only themselves to blame, if in future primaries and cleo tions they are not permitted to vote The law IS plain and simple and there ueed be no trouble to any one in com plying herewith.
 When the books were opened a few weeks ago there were at least 6O,0o0 white men in Alabama entitled to reg ister. who had up to that time neg lected to do so. Of this number per haps 40 per cent. have since cured this defect in their franchise privileges, but this would still leave a great number off the lists. and unless they act now they will be disfranchised by their own act. until July 1. 1906. when reeistra- tion opportunity will again be offered. It should be remembered that the pri- maries in 1906 for State and county will be held prior to that time, so that those who neglect to register now will have no voice in selection of candi- dates. This Is too important a matter to be treated lightly and those who persist in remaining off the registration lists fail to discharge the duty in- cumbent on good citizens.
 To come to local matters, those in this city who are unregistered will be deprived of the privilege of voting in the Democratic primary next spring for Mayor and other city offices If you want to continue in this category, well and good. but remember that you will have no right to complain if things do not turn out you might wish them.

PASTE JEWELS.

It has become quite a question with wear real jewelry. The thieves and burglars find out where the genuine ar ticles are concealed and proceed to break in and plunder. It is hardly inn portant enough for a woman to deco rate herself and be stared at and won dered at only to give some sly criminal an opportunity by a well-conceived and skillfully executed raid on her bureau or her jewel box to get the stones that will set him up in life for one or two years.
 The women who affect jewels are learning something, They are having exact duplicates made in paste of the renowned stones they possess and when they go out in the evening they wear the paste and leave the originals de- posted in safety vault, guarded by all manner of electrical appliances and two dozen wide-awake, sleepless po- Iicemen. This plan works admirably and could in fact be made to work still better. Suppose you are rich and have a wife who is fond of decorating her person. not only with beautiful gowns, but with sparkling gems of all kinds. You buy the gems her heart yearns for. IL is not safe for her to wear these, to expose them in any man. ner. They must be hid What is the sense of paying money to conceal them Ap vault? Why not conceal them in a box buried under an apple tree in the orchard? \
 The tewelry problem will certainly work itself out on some such line as is here indicated. The wife loving adornment will insist upon having, owning genuine jewels. After imita- tions of these have been manufactured at cost one-thousandth of the original cost of the gems, the gems themselves will be hid away in the garden and the make believes will be proudly worn to the ball. No living soul at the ball can detect the difference between what your wife has on and what is securely hid underground In your back yard.
 There Is untold possible development in this scheme Of making women beau tifal, of doubling their natural at fractions A poor suitor or lover may in this way adorn his beloved or his wife and no soul can tell whether what she wears Is genuine or not. Is 1t not plain that all the women in the world may now decorate themselves and ap- pear perfect images of beauty and the poor male of the species stand help lessly entranced before them?

Uphold the Law.

Editor The Advertiser:
 I have been very much interested in the editorials which have appeared from time to time in your columns as 10 the proper observance of the law. l most heartily endorse and commend the clear ring and fearless denuncia- ton of mob violence contained there in, elicited by the disgraceful disregard or the law at Huntsville and in Dallas. The press and the ministry are the two great agencies for helping to cor rect the fearful tendency to Iawless- ness which obtains today. l. as one belonging to the latter class and hear tily in sympathy with the former. re- joice to see both standing loyal to the truth and law.
 As to where the remedy lies. none Of us know at present, but in all the his tory of the world there has never been time of darkness, corruption and law lessness in church or state wherein these things continued long. The righteous indignation of law abiding and liberty and purity loving people arose as mighty storm against it and crushed 1t out. I feel that our hopes lie there. Many who have been sleep ing on this imminent peril should awaken to clamor for righteousness and justice. If we have officers who are incompetent and cowarlly, irsti- tute impeachment proceedings against them and put in those who can and ed and trampled upon is worse than useless; law executed is one Of Gods agencies in he fight for justice against sin. If our jurors are too timid to render a verdict according to testimony or are biased with political intrigue or pe- cuniary influence. place them under the ban and search for men--men who will stand for the right though the heavens may topple and fall.
 Our race is falling into grave errCr. namely, unlawfully punishing the re- gro because of his color. We boast Of freedom. and yet we by our actions would force a race in our midst into indignities and suffering and allow others to go unpunished for similar crimes. Our aim should be to punish legally and justly all wrong doers ac- cording to their misdemeancr without prejudice or distinction. Any and all discrimination and partiality will en- gender the more hatred of the races and precipitate a worse state or affairs than exist today. Can we not read just our judiciary machinery and re- store such confidence that will feel willing to allow the law to take its course and not ruthlessly trample sa- cred things under unhallowed feetf A duty and obligation rests upon every citizen to see to 1t that the law is up- held and wrong suppressed. Let us quit ourselves like men in doing the right things. Respectfully.

 Governor Benjamin B. Odell Jr.. in his capacity as Chairman of the New York State Republican Committee, has demanded $750,000 of Chairman George B.

Chairman Cortelyou was amazed at the demand. His hurried trip to Washington on the President. Cortelyou is inclined to be stingy with the money he has in his campaign chest. Where Hanna would spend s1oo he hesitates about spending $25. When Odell came at him with his demand for three-quar- ters of a million he suggested that $ooO, OoO Is a large sum, thinking to insistent and corteIyou rushed away way to ask the President about 1t. Odeil put the matter up to Cortelyou In this manner: He said there is a fair chance for Roosevelt to carry the State. but that the situation for the State ticket IS precarious. He said he will get all the money he can, but intimated that contributions are slow. and then said. the rescue or there Is no telling what may happen to Roosevelt in view of the slump that may come to the Higgins end of the ticket.
 Cortelyou tried to plea poverty Odell refused to listen to the plea. He had made inquiries and had discovered that the National Committee is getting relatively more money than it did either four or eight years ago. By relatively" Is meant that in propor- tion to the number of States in which the Republicans expect to make active campaigns the contributions are large. for Hanna made campaigns In many more States than Cortelyou will enter. As a matter of fact National Treasurer Bliss has plenty of money. although he may not have if he honors the Odell draft for $750,000.

For the Building

EultbT l uC AuNSTLlSeT.
 Having read the several interesting articles appearing in your columns for and against a modern office building being erected on the site of the foun- tain on Court Square. I cannot aoIp but add word in favor of its being built.
 It has been brought to my attention in several instances while in conversa- tion with several parties representing large manufacturing concerns of the East who state positively that their companies have located elsewhere (even though Montgomery is more cen trally lOCated) on account of the poor office facilities of our city.
 It might appear to a few sentiment talists that n collection of country wagons lis q thing of beauty and would draw tourists and parties to Montgomery that would not stop oth- erwiee, In this argument a very few concur. but beautifully constructed circular building ten or twelve 9tCrIes in height could not but fail to attract attention and bring strangers into cur gates.

tants, are to be congratulated on their courage and determination in this Huntsville investigation. A little more of the same spirit scattered among other Southern authorities would les sen the lynching evil quicker than all the preaching and talking the com monwealths are capable of emitting. It Is true the law of Alabama allows the Governor to institute proceedings against the civil authorities responsible for such affairs as the Huntsville lynch ing, and 1t Is to be regretted that all of the Southern States have not the same laws.
 At least let the other Southern au- thorities take such steps as are possi- ble. inspired by the same determina- tion that Is moving the Alabama Gov ernor and his assistants.
 CThe juries at Huntsville and the grand jury of Dallas County nave so far failed to do their duty. but the tribute to the Alabama officials who are striving to do their duty is none the less deserving.

 Shall economy of administration be demanded. or shall extravaganza be en- couraged?

 Shall it remain a Government of law or become one of individual caprice?
