GRABBING AT TWO moasrLs.

We copy on this page an article from The Birmingham Age-Herald in refer ence to seeking two positions. vtrtu- ally at the same time. The Age-Her- aids contention that the senatorial suc- eession race is contest not for an off, flee. but for a possibility. will hardly hold good in view of the active efforts of so many distinguished men to se- cure the coveted prize of nomina- ton. They will reap the benefit in ease of vacancy. and evidently there l., serious thought that there will be a vacancy or vacancies.
 What The Advertiser said in refer erence to the Congressman from the Sth District will hold good as to any Alabama representative who seeks re- election to the House this year. and af- ter securing a renomination seeks a place in the Senatorial succession. Messrs. Wiley and Clayton have already been nominated for another term from tkeir districts and if either one should now enter for the Senatorial success son they would be liable to just criti- cism and censure
 If they. or any other Congressmep desire to enter for the even remote chance of a seat in the Senate. their announcements to that effect should have been made before ana not after the Congressional primary. To that course no one could object. It would he open and fair and give to others who might want to contest for Con- gressional honors, an opportunity of showing that the incumbents not only wanted reelection. but also chance at another plrm-<
 To wait until after a Congressional renomination. before announcing for the Senatorial succession is virtual &C., knowledgement that those who do so are not willing to go before the people in the unenviable attitude of seeking two places at the same time.

AN OPEN LETTER
To The Advertiser; And the People of
 Alabama.

Dear Advertiser and Dear People:
 This is to certify that I am a citizen of Alabama, born and reared Tn the State. We have two candidates foc are both Democrats. One of them, Dr. Cunningham has had long and capa- ble professional and poiitical-offieial career The life of the other, MT. Co., mer has been devoted to successful per sonal interests, with the exception of one stunt in offcialdom, which resulted in the most complete fiasco the State ever witnessed. AS President of the rance before the people and findins himself wholly unsuited to his part he asks to be assigned to another, for which he is even less qualified.
 drastic railroad legislation--are sim liar. Mir. Conner claims, however. that his opponent Is even more antl-Iallroad than he, and makes telling point ency, or lack of 1t, in supporting his opponent with radical rate views while condemning him. MT. Conner may not know it. but he is really the most unc- after. For instance: A man has piece of land he wants cultivated. Two hands apply for the Joo. one was an experienced blow hand: the other life, and that was so crooked that when he got to the end he had to call an other hired man to go after a crowbar to untwist his legs
 True, both men agreed that cotton should be planted, and the experienced hand even suggested that not only cot ton, but more cotton might be grown than the raw hand wanted, along with other things. But the raw hand wanted just so much cotton and nothing else. Having examined the credentials of each. and being told by the experienced hand that if at planting time the season should not be favorable for cotton that if the land should be submerged he would plant rice instead, and hay ing been told by the raw man that he would pant cotton no matter what the condition or consequence, the owner or the land took the experienced farm hand. and the raw man, the man of the one furrOW stunt. beratec hlm TOT ms want of consistency.
 Verify Mir. Conner should don the cap and bells.
 What Mir Conner calls want of con sistency Is merely the sane selection of wisdom and the rejection of ta- naticism and general official incompe- tency due less To ineXperience than in- herent absence of executive capacity. man of his imperious dlctum might very well pose as understudy to the Czar. but he has no place as direct ing factor in Democratic government. He Is dangerous for has he not said and repeated that q man who would admit that he would be guided by ms constitutional and statutory limitations if elected 10 office, as his opponent said. was not fit to hold oh1ce?

cullman County and the Railroad.


 We are proud of the good service and conservatism Of Cullman county. The time is passed when the cheap politi- elan can Influence the voters of this county by. trying to arouse their prej- udice against the railroads.
 We warn the honorable double B. Conner that the people of this county are not to be caught by pretenses. Wa want regulation that is fair-we want adjustment of wrongs with equity to all, the people and the railroads. We want the right and only the right to every interest, private or corporate. The, renomination of Hon. GeoT:-e H !: next legislature Is distinct rebuff by the people of tkis county to the quack- cry of Comerism.
 The people of the county have said in unml stakable terms: We know Mir. Parker We have not found our eon- fidence abused In the past. We will send him again to represent ns In contrary.
 We have also nominated a railroad engineer to be our sheriff.
 Ch. no! we are not afraid of the railroads or railroad people In Gull man county.

Rusx MT. TilIman.

ProVldence Journal.
 Senator Tiliman's activitv which, in the opinion of many of his colleagues. is pernicious, in the direction of fla thering every known complaint and asking the Senate to investigate 1t, Is apt to destroy much of his value - a legislator. His course is suggestive of the juggler who attempts to keep three balls circulating in the air at one time, then four. then five, and so on until the overloaded hand misses one and all fall in a confused heap. The South Carolina senator has had at least three balls going all winter, tempt to prevent the confirpation of MT, Barnes as postmaster at Wash ington because he happened to be as- sistant secretary to the President when Mrs. Morris was elected from the White House vestibule adds a ball that bids fair to break the chain. The senator has filed his charges and spec ifIcations: but the Senate apparently beiieves that. like the flowers that bloom in the spring. they have nothing to do with the case.

 Unlimited Power to Control Affairs.
 President Roosevelt Is far from be- ing a Socialist in the ordinary mean Ing of the term. He is the same sort of Socialist with the German Kaiser. He wants practically unlimited power to control affairs and to distribute fa- vors and benefits broadcast in a pater- nal way. His is the imperialistic sort of ,ialism. not the sort that would be administered by the multitude--a sort of mob government. in which every individual would have a say New O.. .eans Picayune.
 The American press is pract tically unanimous in the view that Mir Roose- velt's we'll advertised speech on The Man With the Muck-Rake" fell almost flat, but that his utterance with re- spect to the problem of great fortunes amassed in this country was radical. socialistic, revolutionary. The Presi- dent Is generally considered to have ranged himself fully and frankly with the extreme wing of Socialistic senti- ment in regard to the confiscation of private wealth by the State. It is agreed that this is a position far in advance of any theory or policy that has been espoused by the Bryan or by the Hearst wing of the Democracy or by the Populists, or even by the more conservative of the Socialists Columbia State.
 One excellent way to guard against the evils of excessive fortune would be to repeal the laws which enable one interest to tax all others.-Chicago Chronicle.

The President and Judge Humphrey

President Roosevelt's message to Congress is pretI-- certain to start an other national controversy. His at- tack upon Judge Humphrey Is savage, we believe unwarrantably So, His de- fense of Commissioner Garfield is un- necessary to those who are doing their own thinking independent of the men with the undertakes. The commis- sioner did his duty as intended by Con gress; Judge Humphrey construed the law in line with the precedents-- Put burg Gazette.

some of the Methodist clergymen took the floor,
but they did not agree the merits or dement's
Of the strike The principal speaker was the Rev

Mr Cooke He believed in union conditions ne

plause from the printers greeted his speech
