Some years ago the President of an insurance c c,mpany in Massachusetts was asked for a campaign contribu- ton from the funds of the concern. and this was his reply: T cannot advise any subscriptI n by the company to the Republican campaign fund for any pur- pose. The moi ey hold by the insurance company in trust for it's policyholders canaot be used for political. educational or religious purposes. and any vote by the director authorizing a subscription would be beyond their authority, and for any money paid under such vote the directors would be perso ially liable. and at the suit of any po'icyholder the court would require them to reimburse the company" That was about nine years ago and If that official is yet living he can see how times have changed since he made that announce ment.

 If loyalty to party and to party prin- ciples is virtue, we are bound to place Mr. Grafton D. Gushing, President of the Republican Club of Massachusetts, very near the head of the list. "In the Republican party, he tells us. its nat ural to be eia good man." We can almost see the satisfied smitk on the counte- nance of this good man when he deiiv- cred this aphorism, as he doubtless con- sidered it.
 If we cared to psrticularize we might cite Mir. Cushing to long array of Re- publicans who must be unnaturals, for certainly they lack a great deal of be- ing good men, but it isn't necessary to point out examples. The main thing is to allude to the absurdity of declar- ing that belonging to any political or- ganization makes a man good. There was . time in the South when most of us believed that a Republican in this section could not be a good man in any respect. but that time is past. Politics do not necessarily make d man good or bad. but the use he makes of politics may make him almost worse than bad. Ir. Cushing should talk sense.

Policemen ana Crowds.

 'Policen1en are always abused crea- tures," said . thinking Montgomerfan. 'Thi6 statement may seem paradoxical. as every man who falls into the clutch es of .. blue coated officer always nevertheless the statement Is true.
 'Taks for instance today. How many hard words do you suppose were launched in the direction Of some pa- trolman who was only trying to do his duty and caute Montgomery to put @ best c citi.ens aYvi resented the @ harsh sound .inE get back there as uttered by the members of the Monttomery police de- partment. And yet those policemen were doing 5ust what long experiences has taught their superior officers to do under the circumstances. When you blue coated policeman rushed up with 2 move on order. you thought 1t hard. But the policeman knew that where there is dense crowd there Is danger. There is not only danger of having your pocket picked. but there is dan ger of stampede. The sudden out cry of any startled person is liable to also the danger of suffocation of per- sons who are not in prime physical and there are a thousand and one things that would happen in crowd that would not occur in less crowded spot Accordingly, when a policeman sees gathering that has assumed abnormal proportions, with the dignity of his blue coat and his stan of law he dispefses 1t.
 Every good policeman knows that q crowd will not stand for politeness. There are certain wits within the num- Der who are always anxious to get in kidding contest with law officer. The harsh get out of that is decidedly more effective. and the waving of the club is absolutely Indispensable. Don't set sore on the police too hurriedIy."

What pity 1t Is that the New, Ex- change Hotel was not open today, said progressive Montgomerian last night. TO how. much greater advan- tage would our city have been display cd to the thousands of visitors who came and the scores who spent hours searching for quarters.
 When saw this immense crowd on the streets and noticed how many of them would have given much to have enjoyed the luxuries of the fine build Ing that even now rears it's head on Commerce Street, more than ever I recognized what a great thing this hotel will be for Montgomery For the last time, Montgomery was today un- able to accommodate all her visitors. Never again will this happen That grey brick structure on Court Square lnsures future comfort to visitors. and it will be followed by others but still [ cannot help thinking how much more convenient for the large crowd it would have been had the building been open for occupancy"

 You know" he continued. that we people of Southeast Alabama feel at home whenever we enter the gates of the city of Montgomery. and we can not feel at home in any other city than yours, with the big Capitol on the bill. l noted with pressure that every detail was carried out in full. don't think anything was neglected that one set of human minds could think about. and the people of Southeast Alabama will be. just as proud of Montgomery s reception as the people who go to the polls in your city elections.
 And nothing augurs more for Montgomery's greatness" he added. ''The entire State Is looking to South east Alabama. That's the section that Is getting the best of immigrants to the South. We are getting no Hunga- rians and the bad class of Italians. like the mineral district We are get ting the sturdy farmers of the Middle West and the thrifty Swedes and Ger mans. 1Our resources are being recog- nized and our country is already pros porous and will be moro prosperous in the near future. and Montgomery is still the metropolis of trade for our section

Teach him that he Is amend ble to the law-just as much so as his white negihbor-and cease trying to teach him that he is a much abused and. unjustly treated creature of per fection. Bishop Fowler has started the new treatment off in the right way. The negro who has not yet learned it, must be taught responsibility for his moral and spiritual transgressions be- fore he can advance very far either in brain or manual training. and the sooner this fact is realized and acted upon the speedier will be his deliver ance from the chains that are now bind ing him and which are largely of his own forging, albeit he may justly plead that much of the material for the same was furnished by the sentimentalists of the North ,many Cf whom acknowledge fellowship in the denominational com mnnion represented by Bishop Fowler.

many residents Of this city and coun-
ty, died at the home of her daughter,
at Leeds, Iowa, Tuesday, August 28,
at 1880 O'Clock. The cause of her
death was old age and rheumatism
The deceased was born January /,
1927, at Oswego, N. Y, In Septem-
Der, 1874, she was united in marriage
with Henry Quick in Bradford county,
Pa. They came here in the spring of
1866 and took homestead east of
the Kline school, north of Elk Point,
and lived there until two years ago
when she went to live with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Ida Irwin, at Leeds, Iowa.
Her husband died in 1894. Mrs.
Quick was always a loving wife and
kind mother and good Christian
woman, and her many friends were
sorry to hear of her demise,
The remains were brought here
last Thursday morning and the funer.
al services were conducted at the
grave by Rev. Stewart, pastor Of the

ad vocates andobjectors in eachinstance.
But just what is meant by either or
any of those issues is problematical
Standpatters we all understand to mean
those who believe our tariff schedules
are as sacred and immutable as the law
OF the Modes and Persians; and tariff
rippers we understand TO mean those
who, under the guise OF reforming the
tariff schedules, would mulilate or de-
stroy their efficiency. For definition
of municipal ownership we refer those
seeking light to the present mayor of
Chicago. As to reciprocity we'll, we
scarcely know what to say since such
men as ex-Governors Larrabee and
Packard, Governor Curnmins, Senator
Cullom and Others of perhaps equal
ability, failed to give us the correct
definition. So much So that the able.
