Girls Dislike Housyyorl<.

Jane Seymour Klink in the Atlantic. Factories are overwhelmed with ap- plicants for work, sweat shops flourish on cheap and abundant labor. depart ment stores turn away thousands of would-be salesgirls, typewriters are legion, there are more teachers than there are places and the cry for the unemployed is often heard in the land. Yet households are broken up. cafes glitter, restaurants issue cheap meal tickets. boarding houses multiply. and the American home islyearly growing less. because the American housekeep- CT cannot obtain willing and competent service. In factories are girls who wouli rather cook, in shops women who would make good housekeepers. hundreds of typewriters are reeling off badly spelled words who would make creditable waitresses, and many are teaching school who should be do- ing anything else in the world. The Worfan's Educational and Industrial union of Boston make a systematic ef- fort to attract the workers in shops and factories to domestic service. but with signal failure.

to hurry; formal notice to the Presi- dent that the treaty would be defeated if now put to vote, and a vague prom ise to take the matter up again and dwadle over 1t further next October or never. It is a stinging rebuke.
 Primarily, 1t is a rebuke to President Roosevelt's precipitate ways. He thinks to solve the most intricate quss- tions at the drop of the handkerchief. To dictate momentous departure in our foreign policy Is as easy as to dic- tate three great speeches in three hours: Details? Oh. those are not for the President to bother about. The maxim of statecraft which says that the details are everything, was never meant for a man of this lightning-like methods. Vast general decisions in haste, and repentance concerning mis- apprehended facts at leisure, seem to be more to Mir. Roossvelt's mind. Just now he is said to be deeply impress ed' with the evidence laid before him respecting the muddle of fraudulent claims against Santo Domingo which he was jauntily proposing to liquidate out of his abundance of wisdom. One would think that it might have occur red to him to glance over the preci- pice before leaping. It is better to be slow than to be sorry.

WARM POLITICS.

The Advertiser had something to say few days ago about the prospect of warm times among the Republicans of Muscogee. l. T.. over the municipal tick ct. There was a Lily-white faction. a black -and-tan faction and a sure enough negro faction. all contending for the mastery. Since that writing the Republicans have held their primary and the colored troops played Oyama on the other factions. They nominated a ne- gro for tax collector. another for street commissioner. and three others for all dermen. To rub 1t in still harder, they dictated the choice for Mayor and for colored race.
 That is the way the negroes took pos session of the Republican party. and things promise to be warm. There has been considerable friction between the whites and blacks in Muscogee. and we should not be surprised If this primary results in a new alignment. While the campaign was on some of the promi- nent Republicans made strong speeches against putting negroes on their tick ct. declaring that such action would insure defeat If they were in earnest in their loyalty to the cause of white supremacy they now have an opportuni- ty to make good their words and prove their faith. The Democrats have put out a strong ticket and 1t will be the fault of the white Republicans them selves if thev suffer the city to fall un der negro domination. It is a case where they should stick to their race.

roo EASILY AFFECTED.

Dr. Wiley is something of a fadist and sometimes may be nearly crank but sometimes he seems to come very near talking good hard sense. In re- cent address he declared that people are too easily affected by the talk about microbes. and in the attempt to sterilize everything, are making digestion inn possible" Commenting on his opinion The Washington Times says:
 Folks who read even casually the conclusions of Investigators know that there is not a single article of food. liquid or solid. that has not by some school of research been condemned as unfit for use. They receive such varied instructions as to the preservation of health that to follow them would be bootless effort. For instance, they will be warned against the use of raw vege- being charged with deadly microbes In the next article they will be gravely in- formed that the quality of fruits and vegetables deteriorates in the process Of cooking. and that certain poisonous processes are set up in the boiling pot. They are told to demand their meat rare. to refuse 1t unless well done. to clear water is liable to be more danger ous than muddy water. They are told that muddy water Is particularly nealtnful and that 1t is charged with every malady.
 And so 1t goes. There are so many and such various opinions on every thing relating to health, to food and drink. to exercise. sleep and habits, and each has such strong scientific or pro- fessional following that the ordinary layman is at loss to know whether he might not as well abandon the business of living and be done with it. Whether they eat and drink. or whether thev refrain from both. they seem bound to so.
 That there are microbes. and that Sney produce or convey various diseases seems to be beyond controversy. but has not the theory of germs also be- come something of a fad itself? If all scientists and medical men were thor oughly agreed on any one branch of the germ theory. or on all of them. the ordinary individual might accept their diction and govern themselves accord ingly. but when there are almost as many theories as there are professors 1t tangles us common people all up. VIII the pendulum eventually swing back and get us where we will forswear the whole business and get back to the unbelieving stage? Somehow people ate and drank. lived and enjoyed them selves before they heard of such small things as microbes. and might continue if they were to forget them. Still we don't know how we could get alonr without them now.

SHOULD THANK THE DEMOCRATS.

SHOULD THANK THE DEMOCRATS.
 There seems no reason to doubt that the Republicans in the Senate felt pro- foundly grateful to the Democrats for relieving them of a very embarrassing situation. Writing two or three days before the adjournment of the extra session Henry Loomis Nelson, a keen observer. said: Tt is safe to say that if the San Domingan treaty were voted on in accordance with the true feelings and opinions of Senators. it would re- ceive a small minority of the vote" We have little cause to doubt the en- tire correctness Of that opinion. That the Republicans voted so solidly for the treaty is not an indication of ap- proval, but of party loyalty. Of late the idea seems to prevail among Repub- licans in Congress that a member who votes against any foreign policy of the President is unpatriotic. It is a belief which Roosevelt, beyond any man who ever held the Presidency, endeavors to emphasize on all occasions. He wants them to understand that he is the gov- ernment, and that whatever policy he adopts or advocates with respect to other countries should be endorsed without opposition or comment.
 This is Roosevelt and Rooseveltism, and Senators have grown restive under it. They are restive because they can- not risk his judgment. They know him to be headstrong and impetuous and of- ten cratic. As a contemporary ex- presses it. 'he thinks with his feet" In other words, he wants to drive ahead in his own bullheaded manner, seeing things altogether through his own glasses. and arriving at conclusions en- tirely through processes of his own mental evolution. His party friends may not doubt his honesty or good in tentions, but they very seriously doubt his judgment.
 But partisanship and party loyalty are strong spurs to a party man. To be thought disloyal to their President and their party Is just little more than one can face. To be thought unpatriotic would be looked on as the superlative of political wrongdoing. But aside from that lies the unthinkable disadvantage of losing influence with the President. That would mean loss of power and prestige at home. Could a loyal Repub- lican Senator dare to put himself in that predicament? Well. hardly ever, at least in these latter days. Therefore, they claimed to be for the treaty.
 And that is why Republican Senators feel thankful and grateful to Democrats for lining up solidly against the treaty and thus getting them out of a very painful dilemma. They didn't like the treaty and didn't want 1t adopted They say that there were enough Democratic votes to defeat it and that they would do it. Hence the Republicans could re- tain their party standing and pretend to be for the treaty. knowing it would fail. They owe the Democrats a large debt of gratitude for helping them out of the hole.

Hariltari Is Less Popular in y.pan.

We do not understand, we Occiden- tals why the Japanese prefers to com init harikari rather than be captured and we argue this way: If allow my self to be captured, may be exchanged or escape. and thus have chance to fight another day; if not, my enemy has to take care of me and feed me, so that reduce his force and his resources just that much. If I kill myself make a gap in my own ranks that can't fill again. If I accept capture. am wor- rying and exhausting you all the time The only good that can see in hari- kari is the effect that 1t might have on the fighting capacity of the men who are left. Is there any economic consid- eration of that sort under the Japanese idea?"

EId. J. R. Graves and Par.on Brownlow

Eid. J. R. Graves and ParsOn Brownl0w. Editor The Advertiser:
 In your last Wednesdays issue, March 18th, you place great and good CTS and knowing your willingness to be just and fair to everybody prompts this letter. Your editorial, An Echo of the Past" you say, "In 1856 Eld. J. R. Graves published book entitled attack upon the institution of slavery. As might have been expected Parson Brownlow could not let pass an op- portunity to do some knocking and he responded with a volume called, The Iron Wheel Examined and its Spokes Extracted" I read the Iron Wheel soon after its publication and my recollection is instead of the Iron Wheel being an attack upon slavery, ecclesiastical organization known as methodism was not Scriptural and therefore without warrant in the word of God.
 The parson, being an ultra Metho- dist, undertook in his Iron Wheel Ex- amined" to show that Elder Graves was mistaken in his views of what constitutes a scriiptural church. If tack upon slavery then the Elder Graves was guilty as charged, other wise give him credit for what he did do.
 Eluer 0TdyNeS couleIlueu III HIS 6iedI Iron Wheel, that Methodism was neither Scriptural nor democratic in government and that Methodism ab- sorbs all the inalienable rights of free man and compels its devotees to bow to the will of one man.
 Elder Graves, at the time of the controversy in 1856, published in The Tennessee Baptist that he would an- swer Brownlow's Iron Wheel Examined and its Spokes Extracted if the Metho- dist denomination would endorse Brownlow as a representative Metho- dist, but this was never done. The Confederate States never had a more ardent supporter than Elder J. R. Graves. J. R. McLendon.

A HERDS GRAVE.
The State Ought to Erect Monument
 Over His Remains.


 Dadevville, Ala, March 19, 1905. Editor The Advertiser:
 There has been a number of inquiries in regard to the exact location of the grave of Major Montgomery who has killed at the battle of the Horseshoe Bend; and later on. his remains were removed to this place. After the recent cold weather, and rains, place sank down in the front yard of MT. A. H. Mcintosh. Tradition says that Major Montgomery was buried in that yard; but there was not thing to mark the grave. Some old citizens said the grave was at the east side of the yard; others said, 1t was in the front yard. The cracked place in the earth was in the walk from the gate to fifteen feet from the veranda steps. MT. J. A. Hoyle, MT. A. H. Mcintosh and myself dug down into the place and soon found it to be a grave. We dug on to the bottom and found the bones of human skeleton, many of the bones crumbled as soon as they were touched. The bones best preserved were the two fermus. clavicies, superior maxil- tary, humerus, teeth and portions of the skull Tradition says that Major Mont gomery was the only per son buried anywhere about the place; so the remains are undoubtedly those of the brave Major. The Alabama Historical Society and a Monumental Association have made several efforts to obtain information about this grave, Mir Hoyle, MT. Mcintosh or myself will cheerfully give any further information we can on this matter.
 Yours truly,

Making History in AsIa.

WaShlnBtOn POSI.
 The war with Japan began more than a year ago, and if Russia was un- able to get men enough and guns to beat the enemy it Is not likely that she can do so in five years. To come off victor she must make aggressive war and at the close of the first year she is disastrously, probably hoAe- lessly, beaten in a defensive war. To win she must drive the Japs off the continent and retake Port Arthur. Meanwhile the powers need not be as- tonished to wake up some fine morn ing and find that a child has been born at Tokio that, for want of bet ter name, will be called The Asiatic Monroe Doctrine" There Is likely to be a deal of history made over there the next two-score years.

 That, we repeat. is something new in the chivairy line. We should imagine that there Is hardly more exposed or disagreeabie position in the great city than these subway news stands are. yet this company. under it's new idea of chivalry. keeps girls there from the hour of in the morning till in the evening. and appears surprised that all do not praise 1t for its chivalric devo- tion to the young girls of the city.

Don,ta for the Home.

Chicago Journal
 Don't be afraid of little fun at home. Don't shut your house lest the sun should fade your carpets, and your hearts, lest hearty laugh shake down some of the musty old cobwebs there.
 Therefore let the fire burn brightly at night and make the homestead de- lightful with all those little arts that parents so perfectly understand. Don't repress the buoyant spirits of your children; half an hours merriment round the lamp and fresidc of home blots out the remembrance of many a care and annoyance during the day, and the best safeguard they can take ence of bright little domestic sane tum.
