The Right Way,

A case of yellow fever made it's ap- pearance In Montgomery on Tuesday, and yesterdays "old Reliable" Mont full report of it. giving all the cir cumstances and concealing nothing. The same paper also pyblished 2 com munication from the Board of Health of Montgomery giving straightfor- ward history of the case and telling the public all about what had been done to guard against the spread of the dis
 The case was that of man who went to Montgomery from KerSwood, La, and the sickness came upon him called to attend him thought the case rather suspicious and so reported to the city health authorities. The man hospital two and half miles out from the city, and the room which he had occupied in the hotel was thoroughly disinfected and fumigated.
 The Montgomery Advertiser and the Board ot Health of that city have done exactly the right thing and in the right way. and as result we have no douot that the people of Montgomery feel perfectly secure. They are at least relieved of the fear that the truth has been withhld from them and of yellow fever in their city.

It was n sultry Sunday |.

well. this is the hottest day of the year."
 This declaration was made no less than several hundred times yesterday In Montgomery. It may or may not have been right. There is no way of telling as the day was Sunday and the weather bureau people were observing the Sabbath and no statement was given out.
 But there was omistake about it. the day was a scorcher. Down on Dex- ter Avenue, the private thermometers registered between 96 and 9S degrees in the shade. What 1t might have been in the sun no man had the hardihood to speculate upon. At home or on the streets people weltered throughout the day.
 Tn the afternoon the cars which went out to the citys various parks were thronged with people. The Sunday he gira to the parks was something like it was in the early hot Sundays of the summer.
 The fact that so many cars went out so crowded was held as a convincing proof that there Is absolutely no yell low fever scare in Montgomery, be- cause when an epidemic Is feared peo- pie will not herd together. Moreover, the people who were likely to be in- fiuenced by the yellow fever scare have hurried off to take their vacation. The people who stayed at home and attend ed to their business are absolutely sat isfied with the situation. They are no more afraid to go into crowded cars than they are to be alone

A QUESTION OF PREPosITroNs.

A correspondent of The Sacramento | Bee springs a question of grammati- | cal construction that has some nice points in it. He says: One lives in New York or in Chicago. but at Yon- kers or at Kenwood; that is, one lives l in large city but at a small one" It seems to us that the writer has made a pint" here. All of us who read the newspapers have noticed the peculiarity to which he alludes, and most of us who write for the papers fall into the same habit, but where Is there any warrant for 1t? We know the Century Dictionary has an expla- ly tells us that If the city be of large size in Is commonly used"
 Just so. We know that as well as the man who wrote 1t does. but we are not enlightened by the statement. We do not need to be told that it Is done city governs the Choice of the preposi- tion to be used what is the limit? How many square miles of area and how many thousands of population must a city have before we can get in 1t, in stead of being only at 1t? If we speak of being in New York and at Boston will not the Bostonians take offense? And If they can properly object how far down the line must we go before 1t is allowable to say at? These be pertinent queries which some wise guy will probably attempt to answer. and fail.

SOME FORMER INSTANCES.

The belief which seems to prevail | that yellow fever cannot penetrate CT exist in the Northern portions of the 1 United States is an error, for it has been we'll established that locality and conditions have more to do with it than latitude does. One of the most fatal epidemics that has ever prevail cd in any Americau city visited Phil- adeIphia in 1763, when ten Ter cent of the population was carried off, In 179s 1t was fatal In New York, and in both those years 1t spread over great portion of New England, and into Maryland. Virginia anl Carolina.
 That conditions have much to do with 1t, and locality more. perhaps. ts shown by an occurrence in Swa' sea, England. in 1866. A number ,I peofle who had somewhere heAn exposed 10 the fever ret,.sne e,f=-to Swansea and were ,lcan after taken down with Ii e disease. The government at once sent down a physician to watch the disease. He recorded twelve cases :n winch, with filth, bad ventilation and every other condition favoring the fever. 1t failed in every case to spread beyond the original victim
 Here was plain proof that the dis ease did not spread because ;hc copdi- tions were against it. But we think there Is no doubt that if Dr. Swan son, the attending government physi- clan, had had any inkling 3f the mos quito theory he would at once have taken measures to ascertain if there were mosquitoes In Swansea and If be found none he would have then and there found proof of the theory now So generally accepted. And we think the same observations in Philadelphia and the other places visited moro than a century ago might have had the same result
 That yellow fever is mora common and deadly in tropical and semi-trcpI- cal countries titan 1t Is further North is easily explained whom we consider the fact that in the former the condi- tions are all so favorable to the rapld breeding of the diseasa-carrying .n- sects. and the consequent facility for spreading the fever. In short. where there are no mosquitoes there Is no spread of this dread disease. whether In low or high attitudes. =.

"Labor's" Revenge.


 The story of the Imprisonment and torture of a man in Chicago by the Truckmen's Union Is so horrible that we have hesitated to comment on 1t, thinking 1t might be sensational in vention; but no denial of the tale has appeared. and considering what has been done in that city by labor unions 1t IS not. as 1t might seem. impossible. MT; Wilder, the claim agent who had defied the union, was captured by a
 wreckfng crew" or entertainment committee" as Sam Parks called 1t, dragged to house opposite the union headquarters, where the windows were blanketed to prevent hearing of his cries, gagged and bound so tightly with cord that the marks are still to be seen on his ankles and wrists, after lapse of days, and when he was helpless the members of the union thrust pins into his body, he being stripped of all his clothing, and also of his money. His feet were also burned with hot irons. As result of his experience MT. Wild CT is in a critical condition and is all most insane. The police are showing the languid interest in the matter that is customary and expected, but others are pushing the investigation with spirit. Trade unionism has every crime laid to its charge, but revenge so unmanly, so cowardly as this might almost be imagined as beyond the thought of men. Even Chicago ought to repudiate 1t.

Interest in Craftsmanship.

T was on a Pickett Springs car yes terday." said well known Montgom- cry man and in passing the club house of the Capital City Gun Club noticed with pleasure, the excellent shooting done by a number of the members. Clay pigeons were used as targets and the sport was fine even for the onlookers.
 T don't see why this sport is not more encouraged. Workmanship is cer- tainly valuable asset and it is we'll that the gunners receive pleasure and practice by shooting the clay pigeons instead of banging away at harmless live pigeons. that are not eaten and whose feathers are not utilized.
 Some one standing near me on the occasion said that 1t seemed foolish to him to see grown men firing away money and powder at inanimate objects The thought came to me of the archery practice of our English forefatherS. How, for years they practiced on wood en targets and how valuable this prac- tice proved to be al Agincourt, Crecy and Poicters. <~-

this country, and if he doesn't feel that he Is getting full value for any loss of time or money involved he Is under no bonds to serve the public in an off, ficial capacity. The history of our government shows that there are al- ways men ready and willing to take q vacancy, even though there isn't much money in it. It would bankrupt the government to raise all official salaries to the level which some people appear to think they ought to occupy. When all the important offices go begging for somebody to fill them it will be time enough to argue for a general raise.

rEsTERDAY,s EDUCATIONAL ISSUE.

Yesterdays issue of The Advertiser thirty-four page paper at this season of the year in the South is unusual. and when 1t Is taken into considera- ton that 1t followed within a few days a yellow fever scare. 1t was most extraordinary.
 The distinctive feature of the issue was the section devoted to the adver- tising of educational institutions. This consisted of fourteen pages. A com parison of this issue with that of last year develops the following figures:
 1904. 1905. Number of school adver- Number of States repre- :. Total number of inches
 of school advertise
 ments carried ....... 617 1,389
 It will be seen that over twice as much space was occupied with educa- tional advertising as was the case one year ago.
 No other Southern paper has ever CdrTleu III SlHSle issue dS muCH os two-thirds this volume of school ad- vertising. and we do not now recall that any paper in the whole country has exceeded the record.
 This exceptional record, made by The Advertiser under some unusually unfa- vorable conditions, demonstrates sev- eral things:
 First-The high character of The Advertiser as newspaper. School advertising always seeks the mediums that reach the best class of people
 Second-That the people of Alabama are intefested in education to an ex- traordinary degree. Forty-five insti- tutions of the highest class. in eight States, are seeking the patronage of Alabama parents.
 Third-That it pays to advertise schools and colleges in the most effec- tive way, just as we'll as 1t pays any other line of business. Many of our last years patrons took increased space this year. because they found their investments last year 80 profit able.
 The Advertiser believes that not on- ly has 1t the right to boast about yes- terday's issue. but that in addition the people of Alabama are to be congrat- ulated upon 1t as implying so much to their credit.
