PROTESTS roo MUCH.

Every few days we are regaled with the statement that Roosevelt again positively announces that he will not he a candidate for another term. It comes as definite ultimatum from him and it comes too often. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.' . said Hamlet. or some other Shakspear- ian character. and Roosevelt is pro- testing too much. It may turn out that, like the woman described by Byron-"whispering I win ne'er con- sent consented. he may allow hini- self to be over persuaded, provided his party should really desire his nomina- ton in 1908. of which we have some doubts. There's the possibility that the Republicans win have had enough of him by that time. and then again there is the certainty that there will be other aspirants who will find way to side-track1 him. Zen if he should de- sire the nomination.
 There are Republicans and Democrats both who are positive that Bryan will be the nominee of the Democrats. and that Roosevelt will be the only man who can defeat him. There are two propositions which are up in the air, so to speak. It is not certainty that Mir. Bryan is to be the Democratic nominee. It is yet nearly two years to the conventions and many things may happen in the meantime to pre- vent his nomination. And then 1t IS not any moro certain that Roosevelt will be the strongest man his party can put up. He has created much dis satisfaction in his party already and by 1908 that feeling may be so intensi- fled that even if the managers could secure his nomination he could not be elected. All this is speculation. how ever. as much so as Roosevelts accep- | tance of another nomination is.

SATURDAY. AUGUST II, 1908.
Hr DrsAppoINrED THEsl.

Senator Knox. of Pennsylvania, who is now in England. has profoundly dis gusted those Americans who seem to think that the only reason a promi- nent American can have for going abroad is to mix in with nobility and other members of the society of high fiiers who are always watching for a chance to patronize our wealthy people Senator Knox has his emily with him and they spend most of their time rid ing about in their own automobile, wholly indifferent to the opinions of snobs and nobility worshippers. The Cumberland. (Add) Courier. with fine sarcasm says of him:
 The Senator had a chance to do some thing for his folks In socIal way, but he laid down. He cut out pink teas. presentations and levees, and wastes his time running around the country In his automobile. Knox Is no fit representative of this country abroad. The next time he attempts to leave these shores there ought to be a writ ne exeat regno He could have broken into English society with grace full ease, but he didn't We have sever al American duchesses over there. one the daughter of fat dutchman out in Cincinnati by the name Of Zimmerman, who copped his coin in crooked rail- road deals. and another the offspring or Jay Gould, now deceased, whereaboufs unknown, who did ditto. Either of these ladies, who are flying high on stolen money. could have put Knox next to the right sort of people, don you know" But the Senator is a hopeless case. The summit of syco- phantic fame, presentation at the court Of the scintillating genius who rules" the English people. Is within ris grasp. but he turns it down stuptdly. Back to the coke ovens for Knox. As a climber he is false alarm.
 No doubt there are many Americans over there who know Senator Knox. or know of him. and who expected him to take them by the hand and lead them right into the parlors of English ''stoc- racy, but he has disappointed them Who shall say he is not acting rightly? When an American goes to England or other foreign country as an official representative of our government he is expected to conform to the usages and formalities of those among whom he is thrown That is expected of an official, and 1t is right and proper. bat so many private citizeAs go over there with no other object than to be taken up and patronised by the nobility they bring reproach on their country and it's peo- pie. No wonder the English and their newspapers So often ridicule Americans for many of them deserve it. Knox is doing credit to his country.

Selma Journal.
 It is really amusing to read the ed itorial columns of The Birmingham News and see what frenzy 1t works per or followers expresses some doubt as to Mir. Corners friendship for the child labor law. The News has not hesjtated during this campaign to dues- ton the bo-Asty and oood faith of every one opposed to MT. Conner. and has made charges that should rest heavily on its conscience against yet it holds up it's hands in holy hor- TOT whenever any question is raised which even hints at any human weak ness in Mir. Conner or which even re- motely questions his infalibility. The Conner following have not hesitated to charge time and again that Dr..
