Among the many good things ut tered by the President since he has been in the South few have been more to the point than this from his speech in Atlanta:
 The Republic will go down, our dem ocPMttc institutions will be a failure if the moral sense of the people grows so hIunted that they will accept any Sktnw else, whether brilliancy. or loy- &1kS of party service, or any other deed or quality as an offset to corruption zsss@ minute that there comes a ques- kzbf1 of corruption in public life. If we ..x4e any aaiise of loyalty to the Union and its institutions. all political lines vanish at once. We can afford to eon- slider in a public servant nothing but the question of his honesty or dishon- esty when once that question Is raised.
 His remarks were as terse as they were true. When the time comes that the people will excuse or condone ras- cality in public service for no better reason than that the rascal belongs to their party. those people are in a bad way. That it is done in various por- tions of the Union Is patent to all who keep posted on the events and occur reness of the times. Politics cannot justify eFiminality.

WELCOME 10 TIE rRnslDENr.

WELCOME TO THE PRESIDENT.
 The Advertiser takes great pleasure this morning in welconiWE President Roosevelt to Aiabanaa. ana particularly to this historic City. And The Adver- tiser has no doubt that the people of sh;s state ana City VIII welcome hisa with the same genuine hospitality that has been showered upon. him every where in this section since he crossed the Virginia line.
 This day has been set apart by the President for the purpose of seeing Alabama. of getting better acquainted with it's people and its progress, ana of further equipping himself for the discharge of the duties of the most powerful ofice in all the world.
 We believe that this will prove wise thing. not only from his stand point, but from that of the people of Alabama. They will learn to know their Prest. dent better. to understand more clear Ky his spirit and his policies. and to help him in what we believe to be his earnest purpose--to be the President of the whole country, to obliterate sectional lines, and to cooperate with this great people in the solution Of the many knotty problems they have been toiling upon for forty years.
 In his speeches everywhere on this trip through the South. President Roosevelt has proven not only his breadth of view and his common sense. but also his profound admira- tion for the South, for it's history, for it's leaders, for the type of men and women it produces, and for the brave persistent, successful struggle the South has been making for years past He has shown a keen perception of these things, a deep penetration into our viewpoints, and far more catholic sympathy with us than most of us had presupposed. He has long been recog" nized as an official of extraordinary ability and unsurpassed independence. but he has in the past week been re- vealing the man that he is in many gratifying ways. His boast that he is half -southerner is fully warranted: his temperament Is essentially South ern. and his very faults, if at this june ture we may be pardoned the use of the word. are distinctly Southern. He is hot blooded and impetuous, proud and high-strung, courageous and deter mined.
 President Roosevelt has shown un- usual admiration for distinguished Alabamians. and many of them are his devoted friends. Through General Wheeler, Judge Jones, Secretary Her bert. General Oates. Colonel Wiley and others the President has indicated In various ways his appreciation of the people of this State. 1t is fortunate therefore. that our people have an op- portunity this day to welcome hin, with a genuine display of Southern hospitality. There Is abundant evil dence on all sides that this will be the case. and that he will be as much ini- pressed and pleased here as every where on this trip.

Illinois Life OniciaIs Say They Can Ex-

Chicago, Oct. 23.--Cfacials of the Illinois Life Insurance Company who have been called by the State Insu- rance Department, to explain a trans- action involving the alleged payment of some 65,0O0 expended in 1903 at a time when a measure was pending before the last legislature. providing for the taking over of the Kansas Mu- tual Life Insurance Company by the Illinois concern, say the entire affair will be cleared up Wednesday.
 Twelve questions in all, 1t is said. were propounded by the State Insu- rance Department. What those ques- tions are the officials of the Illinois Life decline to say. President James w. Stevens of the Illinois Life today said:
 Not one dollar of the money was paid bye the Illinois Life Insurance Com pany, or any one in it's interests for the purpose of influencing Legislation" |"

The old city of Montreal is decided- ly slow coach in the way of street cars. They have just adopted a new style which will admit passen gers only at one end. At the door stands the conductor who collects the fares as the passengers come in and of course car cannot start until all who wish to ride are admitted and have paid their fares. Admitting passengers at only one end of car is the usual rule with close cars here. but imagine one of our cars standing still while fifty or more eager people made their way in- side and each of whom had to stop at the door to pay the fare. It would be in the nature of circus, to say the least of 1t. and conductor wouldn't last long

And now new genera tion is so rapidly taking the places or those who were foremost In the begin ming until comparatively few remain.
 Casting my memo memory back to tae the first move in the great revolution: composed of thirty-three members of the Senate and one hundred of the House, I can recall but three who are now living. These are Rev. George E., Brewer, who was the. Senator from Coosa County; Col. Michael l.. Woods. who was a member from Montgomery County, and Hon, s, s. Scott, who was n member froul Madison County. It is worthy of remark that Colonel Woods commanded the 18th Alabama, while MT Brewer was chaplain of Company A of that regiment and commanded 1t during the long Imprisonment of Colo nei Woods. Colonel Ecott was connect ed with the Indian Bureau during the war, and is now prominent citizen Of Auburn.

ANGLo-CUBAN TREATY.

 Washington. Oct, 2S.--It can be re- iterated on the highest authority that although convinced that the proposed Angio-Cuban treaty is distinctly inju- rious to cuba's interests, the Wash ington government has never indirect lv or directly questioned Cuba's full right 10 negotiate such treaty with Great Britain or with any other for eign nation.
 When asked by Cuba for an expFes- sion of opinion regarding the proposed treaty with Great Britain. the Wash ington government outlined the disad- vantages which would accrue to the republic under such an arrangement. It was pointed out that 1t would preclude this country from giving Cuba any further commercial concessions.
