DOWNING THE KING-pIN.

One more notable chapter in Penn sylvania's rotten politics was written a few days ago when Israel W. Durham surance Commissioner, and the resigna- tion was accepted by Governor Penny packer. Three months ago the predic- ton of such an act would have been laughed at. Durham was one of the leading members of the McNichol firm of grafters, and one of the bosses of the most corrupt and shameless politi- cal machine that ever footed city. He considered himself invulnerable and immovable. and would have been highly amused if any one had even hinted at his early downfall. .:: .
 Nor is 1t at all likely that the Gov ernor would have accepted his resigna- tion three months ago. Pennypackel has done some good things since he be- came Governor and some other things that were the reverse of good. Dur ham was oAe of the strong wheels ir the State machine, as well as in the city ring. and Pennypacker was one oi the DeneUCldTlSS OL consequently. he would not have thought of losing one of his most eff. ficient supporters.
 But Mayor Weaver has been spring ing surprises ever since he took the bit in his teeth and started in to purify Philadelphia politics. That he should or would seriously contemplate such a course was the first great surprise and 1t is not at all strange that the gang refused to consider 1t seriously He was one of them, owed his position to them and was looked on as their chattel, bought and paid for. A revolt by him was as little expected as a mid night sun would have been. When he made his first move towards cleaning out the city they grinned at what they looked on as a shrewd bid on his part for the support and countenance oi the honest citizens. and which they re-

 Perry County tobacco Is getting g plenty of free advertising these days and is attracting attention from all over the United States. After sam bling the weed grown here. a promi- nent cigar manufacturer of Richmond, Va, offered to establish a packin 2 house in Marion. If guaranteed a suffi- cient acreage next year A Selma man is said to be anxious to put up cigar factory In Marion on the same condi- tion that the above e-mentioned packer wants to establish the packing house Either of these offers means good market for the producer of tobacco The Standard dislikes to be accused of riding a hobby. but feels Justified in doing so if that hobby is tobacco growing" as we have seen the results to be attained from 1t.
 The soil survey shows S3.000 acres in Perry County suitable for growing to- bacco. Assuming that only 50 per cent of this area Is really adapted to the plant, Perry County can grow 4000, 00C pounds a year This amount would support a score of packing houses and as many small cigar factories. The first in the field will derive the bulk of the benefit of the advertising which the industry has received during the past two years. Local capital Is in- deed asleep If it lets this opportunity pass.
 We hope to see a cigar factory put in by home capital in time to handle this seasons crop. which will be ready tc market ecrly next spring. +:@.

garded e merely Q sharp trick to in- gratiate himself with the better eie- ments of tho city and thus make him. self solid with both sides. That nc contemplated placing himself in op- position to the machine was regarded as one of the impossibilities of politics. But the machine 'grinned horrible ghastly smile" when 1t was seen that Weaver was in dead earnest. Even then they had little apprehension of defeat, for they considered themselves too firmly intrenched to be routed by the efforts or influence of one man, Mayor though that man might be. But one by one they have seen the props knocked from under them. their breast works battered down and their armor stripped from them. They have seen him triumph over his enemies and the enemies of good government. singly or combined together. They have seen corrupt officials go down before him and figuratively fall at his feet and beg for mercy. They have seen that he has no more fear of a corrupt man in high position than for one who works in the dark, and they have at length realized that he Is both powerful and determined.
 All this illustrates in the most graphic manner the power of an official who chooses the path of honest duty and Is not afraid to follow 1t. It proves that an honest and fearless Mayor has 1t almost entirely in his power to give his city clean and honest government in spite of the thieves and thugs who have been in control of 1t. Weaver has done a wonderful work, and If he keeps on as determinedly and successfully as he has done his administration will go down as one of the most remarkable this country has ever known. and he will achieve a reputation that but very few Mayors have had. Durham was one of the king pins of the machine, and in downing him the Mayor has done more to discourage that machine than by any one act of his administration.
 But even this is not all the good that Weaver has accomplished. for the example Is spreading. The evil in- fuence of Republican machine politics is not confined to Philadelphia. for in various other towns and communities the same practices prevail to a lesser extent. Already the good example is spreading. and revolt, actual or pros- pective, may be seen in various places. Weaver has pointed out the way and others are following 1t. Thus the good that one man does Is not confined to his immediate vicinity.

w,nter or Summer.

T guess I'm always dissatisfied, said the man on the street yesterday afternoon as he mopped his brow with his handkerchief and took parting look at the descending sun.
 "In the winter when 1t rains and the weather is disagreeable and sloppy l think to myself if this was just June when the flowers are blooming and the air is warm and balmy. I would be con. tented. Then I could wear a thin shirt and a light tie with flannel clothing and white shoes. If I got too warm, I could take a ride on the street cars and get cool or sip ice cold drinks through a long straw in places where they serve cold drinks. That's the way I reason in the winter time.
 Now, I think. If the air outside was cool and bracing, if l could just walk down the streets with my blood ting, ling with energy and feeling. fine, all over, I would be satisfied At night when I went home out of the cold winds. I could sit up near glowing fire in the grate and read or smoke: Then to get in between the sheets Of a good, soft bed and pull the covering up around your neck. Now isn't that the best thing in the world?
 What do you say-winter or sum mer?" he asked and the man who was listening to his discourse said, Tt s too hot to think at all. Let's take a drink"

The Teague Ordinance and Sunday Clos-
 ing of saloons.

EQltOT Ine AuNeEilStT.
 It will, perhaps. not be considered obtrusive or presumptuous for pri- Nate citizen to contribute suggestions concerning questions of vital import ance to the community in which he lives. Let men estimate, IS they will. the sincerity of his motives.
 One such vitally important question Is the Teague ordinance on the ques- tinn whether saloons may continue to sell liquors on Sunday. Can any man entrusted with power to legislate In the City Council afford to feel inditfer- ence about this thing?
 Would 1t not be very much better for all the people of Montgomery if they resolved that saloons should close Sunday hours? still better, would there not be less carousing If the looms were compelled to close not later than II o'clock every night?
 These questions answered affirma- lively, what legislation will bring this about? Mir. Teagues measure does not close saloons at any prescribed hour upon week nights; 1t deals only with Sunday closing.
 It is unwise to say that no other laws are needed. for the executive po- lice powers say. in official communica- tions, that they cannot enforce pres ent laws. a@- ....
 Some of us believe confidently that our Mayor-elect intends to enforce whatever laws the Council shall enact
 Ought not the Teague law, amended in one or two particulars, be enacted? I am one of those who thing 1t should be. First, the amendment allowing the closing of all openings communicating between bar and restaurant or parti- tioning of one securely from the other seems reasonable.
 Second, 1t does not seem necessary to enact a prohibition of beverages served in respectable and orderly clubs. Personally I do not favor clubs formed merely for social purposes. It seems to me that clubs ought to have other ends and ideals than mere amusement. such as literature, music, painting, art, ethics domestic science. agriculture, etc. The social feature ought to come as an incidental to the nobler object. What fine benefit accrues from more mixing" unless some worthy common end or practice or study or pursuit is held?
 Yet, having this personal opinion or taste, one may be liberal enough to decline to wish to prohibit others from indulging a different taste For in stance, if a Gentle prefers to spend Sunday hours at a club house. and to regale himself with friends in social beverages. one may deeply regret his and prOpriety, but one need not be will ling to ask the City Fathers to punish him for doing so.
 If our Jewish friends. some of them, desire to drink and amuse themselves with games of chance on Sunday, we may remember that the day has not the same significance to them which its religious associations bear to Gen tiles and regretting their inability to take our point of view, we may stop short of prohibiting them these things under penalty of city ordinances, AS to whether these clubs violate State statutes.

GOOD ROADS WANTED.
The Southern Portion of the Count

The Southern Portion of the County Wants It.
 Center Point. Montgomery Co.,, Ala. Editor The Advertiser.
 Believing that you are always inter- ested in the development and progress of any part of our county, I beg to di- rect your attention to the extreme southern portion. and ask your good offices in securing better roads, or rath- CT an extension of the Carter Hill mac adam road to the Pike County line at all character of farming. including stock raising, than those of this imme- dtate section. I have a neighbor with 1000 acres in one pasture, and there Is at this time 1,S00 head of cattle and 1,lOO head of sheep grazing upon 1t. The lands respond readily to fertilization, and we make as good average crops as to sell and probably more to buy. than any community tributary to your city. Our preference Is Montgomery. We are to Montgomery and do our trading, but the roads are against us as they now are. Pike County has recently issued Sl5.OOOO of road bonds. and they are County line. Montgomery is a better market than Troy. and our people pre- fer going there for many, many req sons. Cant we persuade our very eff cient Board of Revenue to give us this road during the present summer and fall that we may claim the benefits of Montgomery market? There Is every reason, we think. why this improve ment should be made, and none against it. great territory with wonderful resources would be opened to your city and long suffering and patient people would then receive a tardy but just reward. %~.~-.-..
 Help us and you will help your great and beautiful city. Good roads, MT Editor. is worth more to this or any other community than all of MT. Co., mers windy promises and self-lauda- tory schemes Our lands are fertile. our crops are fine. peace and plenty is our portion. we only await the com pletion of this road that we may enjoy to the utmost the manifest blessings of a bountiful Creator.
