A WRONG VIEW.

The Andalusia News has this to say on the proposed addition to the State Capitol:
 Speaking about the State Capitol Commission: That's the way with the American peopie-they elect men to teen kinds of blessing because the officers look through their own glasses. If the Legislature had intended that their say 50 in the selection of state House plans. there's no doubt in our mind but that the Montgomery news papers would have been named as as as the newspapers were not named as members, and inasmuch as the States money is being spent In their town. 1t wouldn't be bad idea to let some
 If The News's logic Is sound. Mont gomery newspapers would not be war ranted in expressing their views on any question concerning the States affairs. until some outside paper had taken the lead.
 The question is not as to spending the States money in Montgomery. That was settled long ago: the money Is going to be spent The question Is as to method-how is the money to be spent. Is the $70,000 to be spent in d way to ruin the appearance of tho present Capitol, or is to be spent in a way to preserve that building and add to It's effect? Can the State preserve the present building, enlarge 1t for present and future necessities at an expense of two or three hundred thou sand dollars. or is it to be made an eye-sore, so that the State will be forced to tear down the whole pile and put up an entirely new million dol lar Capitol?
 The Montgomery newspape1U are trying to preserve the present historic edifce, to make 1t adequate for the States needs at a reasonable outlay. to make it ns artistic and attractive as possible and thus to obviate the necessity of erecting an entirely new and far more costly building. We be- lieve this can be done, but we are sure the plan adopted by the Supreme Court is not the right way to that end,

 Grandma" has had her feelings hurt with Roosevelt several times of late because his spinal column has proven rather too plastic and fragile. If Grandma and Carrie Nation were on good terms we would suggest to her to take a few ribs from Carrie and place them along the spinal column of our President Jam down to the hips, then let Cleveland drill him a while in tlle tactics of firmness. He could then sit on the lid little more firmly.

WHERE IS THE SACRIFICED

we near a great oeal apout ccrtdiu men making "sacrifces'' by accepting government appointments. It was said of Hay. of Whitelaw Reid. and now we hear the same of MT. Root Where was the sacrifice? Hay was a million aire several times over. and if he had accepted a Cabinet position without a salary it would have entailed no less or pecuniary sacrifice. Whitelaw Reid as ambassador to England draws a salary of $17,500 a year and pays $40,- 900 for house rent. and it Is held up as a great sacrifice on the altar of patri- otism. But Whitelaw Reid is worth several millions. and his New York Tribune is something of a gold mine.
 Now we are hearing the same kind of talk about Elihu Root. and his pat riotism in giving up a very lucrative law practice to accept an $s.o00 posi- ton in the Cabinet, but his case Is like the others. Even if he cuts loose en- tirelY from the law firm which Is earn ing such large fees-and we have yet to learn that he will not still divide the fees with the others-but if he disas- Booiates himself entirely there is noth- ing to make a noise over. He Is not a multi millionaire, like Hay and Reid, but he Is set down as a rich man who ran afford to take an office for the honor there Is in it.
 Those who argue about sacrifices in such cases should remember that no ia forced r. ment. even from the President. It IS voluntary act on the part of the ap- pointee and he may accept or refuse, just as he prefers. If very poor man were to give up a private position which promised large returns and take public office at a comparatively small salary there would be some ground for applauding his act, and for arguing that he made personal sacrifice from a sense of public duty. but that is not a fact in either of the cases we have alluded to.
 But there is an important cons1dera- ton in Roots case which must not be lost sight of. He has a large Presi- dential bee in his bonnet and hopes to further his ambition by serving as Secretary of State for the remainder of Roosevelt's term. At least six Secre- taries of State became Presidents, and why not Root? It Is certainly not i'm possible. and we suspect that If we could get to the deepest recesses of the Root heart we would find that he has the hope of advancing himself into the highest office in the government. True he may so conduct himself as to de. stroy his chances entirely. but that is a risk he appears willing to take, and 1t is not impossible for him to sue ceed. @.
 In short. when a rich man accepts ar appointment we may be sure that he does 1t for the honors of the office. oi that he may use 1t as a stepping stone to something higher. No man should be blamed for accepting high office fol the honor that is in it. for the stand ing it will give him or from a sense oi duty, but it is absurd to talk about sacrifice of personal good to a sense of duty to the public when the one who does it could lose the salary ten time: over and not be injured.

In speech at Greenville, 8. C.. on the Fourth of July. Senator Ben Till man got off this:

 A man may be excused for some ex- tolerance on Independence Day. but when a Senator of the United States makes such statement as that not even the excitement or excesses of that occasion can excuse him. If his language was serious it must be ad mitted that he is not fit person to assist in making laws for the people. Honest thinking people will not admit that dishonesty can be justified by the plea that others are not honest.
