IF IG DTs1FPoINTING.

It is in some degree discouraging and distinctly surprising to read of the dis content in Japan. Those people have. shown such loyalty to their government through all the hardshIps and vicissi- tudes of terrible war. and have borne so patiently and uncomplainingly the privations attendant. on the struggle, confident that their rulers were right, that it is something of a shock to now 9inAa them turbulent and rebellious. It is really a new phase of their char aeter.
 That Japan did not get all that she hoped for is probably true, and 1t is doubtless true that the Japanese people expected much more than was possible. Iat Is also true, we presume. that the people had come to think themselves and their government invinclblc, and s1hat they could keep up the war until Russia was reduced to such a condition that she would literally get down on her knees and grant all that Japan might demand. To those who held Shese bright opinions the terms of the treaty came as a disappointment, and that they are not satisfied is nothing surprising. For all that, we had not expected them to initiate the Russians in turbulence and disorder.
 Sensational stories are already being spread abroad to the effect that the army will revolt depose all the ruling powers and take charge of the govern ment. but we hardly soc grounds for apprehension on that scoro. The real statesmen of Japan. and the well in- formed oAicers in command of the armies. many of whom are also states men, know that the wonderful successes won during the war were due to the unity and patriotism of the people They also know that the prestige and power of the nation can only be pre- served by all classes and professions working together. They know, furth- err that revolution and dissensions among themselves would place Japan practically at the mercy of any of the great powers that cared to take ad- vantage of the favorable circumstances. And 60, while we may be surprised at the evidences of disorder among the people we are not ready to believe that it will reach such proportions as to endanger the government or nullify all that has been gained by the war

Pa..lns of the Camp Meeting.

Editor The Advertiser:
 l see in a recent issue of your paper an article on the Passing of the Camp Meeting from the Philadelphia Press The sad fact Is true. to a certain ex- tent, concerning the passing of that dear old institution, yet it Is very evil dent that our contemporary is not wholly enlightened on this subject, since he makes the great mistake of saying fewer and fewer of our strong est preachers attend the camp meet ings, which, as he admits, are by no means dead, and not very likely to stove apostasy religion" for the oidl time religion. Our friend admits that the more cultivated church members become the less taste for this sort of "old-time religion" Yes, plainly the camp meeting is on the decline, to a great extent, just because old-tirn ere- ligion has been done away for a re- iigion that will suit the highly culti- vated."
 For shame on such cultivation that we can't bear the old-time religion!
 If you will allow, I would be glad if you would give this little poem, The Church Walking With the World" space as 1 feel that 1t might awaken some slumbering worldly church mem bers. God grant that it may. Bless tngs on you and your paper.

the children can have the education that they should have and that they must have if we do not care to fall behind the rest of the country.
 One improvement that is imperative iy demanded is better school houses in the rural districts of Alabama As people we have passed forever from the time and the idea that any kind of shack or cabin was good enough for the school children. We can no longer content ourselves with the idea that a house which would not be considered suitable for a barn or stable Is all right to house the little ones in during their school hours. Common humani> ty. if nothing else, should teach us better. but good school houses are among the best financial investments that . community can make. Any one who has taken the trouble to look at the results knows that the children learn faster when they are comfortably situated. and If they learn faster it is time and money saved. Every township in Alabama should have at least one thoroughly up-to-date school building and more if they can be af- forded. But one, at least, should be provided and suitably furnished so that the health and comfort of the children may be assured and their education ad- vsnced and expedited. It Is in the in- terest of economy and of our common humanity The educational edition was an indication of what Is doing, and should be an incentive to further afrort.

Statement by Mir. Krumbbanr.

Editor The Advertiser:
 ln The Advertiser of September Sth there was statement that had been arrested twice for saying I had evaded quarantine officers and that the uuar. antine was not efficient.
 Since this matter has occasioned con- siderable discussion I beg the privilege or making a statement. I left New orleans on August 18th and went direct to Atlanta where I remained until the morning of September. 7th. hold . health certificate dated in New Orleans August 18th and also a health cer- tincate dated In Atlanta September 9th. These were shown to the Montgomery officers.
 policeman came to me in Gibson saloon and asked me about reports b had heard as to my history. I shove him my health certificates and nothinI ths interview l went to the City Hall to see Acting Mayor Mcintyre I was not taken there by officers of the law as was stated.
 two city detectives telephoned. They wanted me to wait there as they want ed to see me. They came there. and went with them to police headquarters health certificates and also signed a statement that to the best of my knowledge I had not made utterances criticising the efficiency of the quar- antine. - .e.,.-z .s.,,..,, ,,z.
 As understand 1t there is a reward of $100 for persons reporting refugees in Montgomery and it seems that this reward has made some people real busy in talking about me. .# .s-
 It has been made to appear that was arrested like a tramp and deprived of my liberty. This is not the fact and 1 naturally desire that this statement shall be given publicity.
 If I made indiscreet statements I re- gret 1t. Every time the subject of my having been in an infected district has been discussed I have shown my health certificates in order to ally alarm. ~.- #.:.:

In the matter of County Superinten- dent of Education Oliver, of Tallapoosa, 1t must be remembered that any amount he may owe the State Is not due to misappropriatiop for personal ends. but to payment to teachers of larger sums than should have been paid. Mir Oliver has derived not one cent of benefit but simply erred in judgment and will beyond doubt make everything square with the State. He is one of the best men of Alabama and the larger part of his life has been devoted to educational work.

Praises state Health onicer.

'"Too much praise" said a Montgom- cry physician, cannot be accorded Dr. William H. Sanders by the people of Alabama for his unceasing labor and his intelligent work in keeping yellow fever out of Alabama, As State Health Officer Dr. Sanders, since the first announcement of the fever in New Orleans, has been constantly on the alert. His activity has astonished his friends. He seems to be tireless in his efforts.
 There is little doubt that Dr. San ders has already travelled thousands of miles and no one but himself and his loyal secretary understand the immense amount of work that has fallen upon him. The management of scores of quarantine agents is in itself a great dhty, but Dr. Sanders, in addition to these duties, is making a personal in- vestigation of everything that demands the attention Of the health ofiieer. This requires almost constant travel and a thorough knowledge of diseases.
 When frost has come and 1t has been recorded that Alabama passed safely through these trying conditions -as I believe will be the case--the peo- pie of Alabama will owe q lasting debt of gratitude to one man and that man is the efficient apd hard-working State Health Officer"
