PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.

It Is two years before the national conventions, yet the Republican woods are full of possible candidates for the nomination. Roosevelt, in spite of declarations to the contrary must be reckoned with until the nomination Is actually made. Just at this time he Is person non grata to the leaders of both political parties, but he has a way of humbugging the people and old Barnum was correct whe he said the public likes to be and is easily humbugged."
 The American Spectator prints the following terse expressions as answers to the query will you ba a candidate:"
 Taft-My candidacy is weighty sibility attached.
 Cannon-I will If I do,
 Bryan-The third is the lucky trial. I shall not get out of communication with my friends.
 Shawl have always universally considered myself strong candidate.
 Hobson-Of course, 1t is an office of limited possibilities-but-
 Fairbanks--Youl really have to ask Mrs. r.
 but they do say I was born in Ohio
 Foraker-I may have to do 1t just to get that Roosevelt fellow out
 Rooseyelt-Didn't I say all along that there would be no third term for me? After what's happened, suppose you'll
 Hearst-I have enough capital to command labor.

It seems difficult for outsiders to understand the Senatorial contest in Alabama Here is The New Bedford Standard saying:
 Congressman Bankhead of Alabama, who has been pushed out by the vic torious Hobson. is going to try pushing out either Senator Pettus or Senator Morgan -s}oth of these gentlemen are not ready to be pushed out. though both are more than eighty years old i; and both have good many friends who will resist Mir. Bankhead's on- slaught.
 There are no candidates against Morgan and Pettus. but there are sew eral who are candidates in order to place themselves in the line of promo ton. as we may express 1t. If our two Senators live until the Legislature assemblies they will be elected with out opposition. If either of them should die the candidate receiving the highest vote in the primary would be entitled to the appointment by the Governor to fill the vacancy. All the candidates but Morgan and Pettus are candidates for alternate, or alterna- tive, Senator.

NEW YoRK,s SHAME.

It is a great and crying shame that New York, the most powerful State In the American Union, in point of wealth and population, has no representation in the United States Senate. Other States have at times been deprived of one Senator for while, but New York Is worse than that While there are two Senators from that State on the roll and drawing salaries. the State ac- tually has no representative in the upper branch of Congress.
 It is an anomalous condition of af- fairs and a shameful one. The hand of disease has been placed heavily on Depew and now an imbecile in mind. his seat is vacant. Platt has made some show of occupying his seat during the present session. but he. too. has given up the struggle and is now practically a fugitive from the scorn of his fellow men. Even if they were in their seats, however. answer ing to every roll-call, the great State they have disgraced would not be rep resented. It would be libel on the State and the people to claim that they could be represented by such men as Depew and Platt. It Is hu- initiating condition for a State which has been represented in times past by such men as W. B. Marcy. Silas Wright, Daniel S Dickinson. Preston King and number of others we might name who were an honor to New York and to the country. It would be better for the State if both seats were really va cant.

HIS ACTS CONTRADICT HIS WORDS

In his speech at Evergreen and va rious other places in Alabama. MT. Co., mer, after severely criticising the &C., tion of the Democratic State Commit lee. said:
 Of course it is little bit extraor- dinary the way 1t is marked down that you should elect your Senators; but, gentlemen. I am the strongest be- siever in a primary you ever saw. There is no man In Alabama that be- lieves more strongly than l that face to face you should meet the men you need for office; that you should ques- ton them, and ask them whether their views are your views or somebody else's views.
 Now MT. Conner declares that Dr. Cunningham is not sincere in some. of his declarations, yet we make bold to say that the above words of MT. Co., mer and his actions prove his own in- sincerity. He was a strong advocate for an elective Railroad Commission and 1t was Dr. Cunningham's deciding vote that saved the bill which made the Commission elective. Mir Conner Is. now a candidate for Governor, de- Iiberately trying to run away from the position he sought so vigorously and at such tremendous expense two years ago. If he Is a believer in an elect i've Commission and such a strong ad- vocate of a primary, why doesn't he ask the Executive Committee to fix up a plan by which the voters can choose in a primary. his successor, President of the Commission, in case he should unfortunately for the State, be elected Governor. That is the way to show his belief in an elective Com mission and his faith in primary He will hold to the place he now occupies, and if elected Governor. will appoint his own successcr. That is his idea of an elective Commission, except when his own interests are involved. Other wise 1t would seem he favors an ap- pointed Commission

Coffee County Values.

Elba Cl1Hper. =
 No jolller set of men could be found in the county of Coffee than the Coun- ty Commissioners. who convened yes ;erday for the purpose of receiving the asse ssment hook prepared by the Tax Assessor. The conditions manifested therein are of the sort calculated to make the guardians of the county's are not dwindling. but are growing; they are growing faster than at any time in the history of the county.
 The increase in values over last years assessment is nearly three-quar- ters of a million dollars, while the in crease over last years assessment af- ter a large number of Tax Commission raises is nearly half as million dollars The assessment for this year foots up a total of S2,969, ,30o-just $3l,0oG short of S3,G00,o0G. This grea' increase comes from a growth In values. from an ac- tual development of resources, and not from any unseemly increases in assess ment standards.

So Much Per line.

MOUItOn AdVeftlser
 We are not in harmony with MT. Co., mer on the railroad question and we believe his policy if carried out would the State. In fact. if we had no rail- roads we would have no State-Ilo en- terprise and no prosperity. Every thing that is now pulsating with in- Gustrial tnrohs would die, and MT. Co., mer himself would have to blow off steam forever at his great cotton fac tories or locate in some place he could get sportation. However. In per mittmg him tu consume so much space in cur paper we do so from a busine ess standpoint and will extend the same privilege to other aspiring gentlemen on the same terms.

sIeeping Out in summer Time.

New York World.
 During the heated "spelr' early fiji May Magistrate Finn scored the po- lice for arresting men who slept in a park. He said that the police might better have been looking for burglars. More recently Magistrate Steinert in a similar case paid his respects to the "idiotic" park department rules. Said he: Tt Is all humbug. to say the peo- grass The parks are for them, and they are entitled to the benefit of all the fresh air they can get" In prin- ciple this was admitted by the park department last summer, when during q period of excessive heat the prohi- bition was for q time withdrawn. There
 is no reason why the rule should not be sensibly modified during the entire summer.

SIDEWALK PENCILlNGS
Cou.fy Need. BIoodhounds.

Montgomery County should have pack of blood hounds" said a we'll known citizen yesterday. Tt IS known fact that we need dogs so that, al moments call, we can put them on the trail of criminals.
 T know 1t will cost the county con siderable money to buy and keep the dogs, but they are worth every cent ot it, even If they are instrumental Tn catching but one criminal year.
 For instance, If we had had pack oi dogs last Sunday when the two ne- groes escaped from the county Jali. there is no doubt that John Jones would have been apprehended a great deal quicker than sne was, ana Jonn Haymon, the condemned negro would In all probability, have been captufed by this time.
 Montgomery County can not call upon the State for it's dogs in urgent cases, and. anyhow, the State would not consent to lend us the dogs, for fear of their being disabled. The only way out of it is for us to have our own hounds so that we may lose nc time in trailing desperate characters
 II would like to see this matteI brought before the Board Of Revenue and would then hope to see the Board adopt measures for the purchase or pack of hounds"

ulation, and one day as winter was coming on Dixey Bull appeared and demanded all the woolen socks she had ready for winter. Thereupon the men of the place revotved in soul. They loaded themselves with the socks and went aboard, but under the socks they had concealed weapons. And here IS the passage our, esteemed friend wish es to have quoted: Now what do you reckon happened
 then. right there on that pruts That crowd O Bulls had never a
 sword nor gun to save their
 neck!
 They'd sailed so long and felt so
 strong in a strictly bus'nesss way They fingered no feller could call their
 bluff nor folks refuse to pay.
 The shore people captured them all and used them afterwards as servants and the story concludes with this nor al:
 It is today as 1t was of old: When you grab for more than you've
 right to hold,
 Some one will rise to fight for his socks
 And you'll find yourself in a blamed
 tight box.
 It is a good story in verse, and we are glad to oblige. but why is 1t re- called at this particular time?

 He was an earnest and enthusiastic advocate of the adoption of the new Constitution. white supremacy and ne gro disfranchisement. No man in the State did more for these great reforms serves the support of every intelligent and patriotic man in the State.
 For twenty-five years he has been a faithful and consistent hdVoeate ot freight rate regulation and Railroad Commission with mandatory powers He favors the education of all the chill dren in Alabama and was the author os our present admirable convict sys- tenn.

That is the Hutchison idea of the place for old men, and he somewhat contemptuously intirnates that they have no right. and that 1t Is somewhat impertinent in them. to occupy place that young CT man is waiting for, Let us hope that pr.

 Cnmer's grand stand play to the gods is falling flat, The people who during the somewhat apathetic state which always proceeds active cam paigning were glad that the time was enlIvened by the aspirant to the Gov ernors chair hailing from Birming- ham. He mistook the attention which was bestowed on him while he was the whole figure in the limelight Tor something it was not He has worn his railroad rate regulation talks to a frazzle and until he brings out some fresh argument and such as embraces a little common sense Instead or a lot of positive nonsense, he had Netter re- tire from the race and so t-Aye him self a humiliating defeat. If he does not see the handwriting on the wall ii Is because he won't and there Is no greater truism than the maxim which reads there Is none so blind as those who will not see" For months MT Conner has been amusing the masses with q lot of hot air regarding the downtrodden people.

The Tide Has Turned With Great Force
 to Cunningham.

Mobile Herald.
 While Dr. Cunningham absolutely re- trained from any public expression re- garding hls candidacy for Governor dur ing his visit. yet his charming manner, affabIe disposition and unfaillng good humor unquestionably added many new friends to his roll. and they will do their utmost to mako him the next Gov
 His great personal popularity was shown by the large number of people who stopped him on the streets, called on him at the hotel and greeted him cordially wherever he appeared
 What a contrast to tire greeting re ceived by another candidate for Gov ernor when he came to Mobile several times this spring" remarked an observ- ant citizen.
 Yes" said another Mobiilan. 'an1 I can assure you that the doctor has got the enemy on the run. The change Of sentiment to hin since he started his high-tone dignifed campaign Is amaz- ing I was at the University com mencement last week and talked with men of great influence from many coun- ties and all of them told the same story that Cunningham tidal wave has started and that the people have be- come tired of Corners constant abuse of the railroads as q means Of riding into office.

MT. Conner in his speeches favoring elections at primary as against con- ventions said
 I believe the people in Alabama have got common sense enough to elect the Supreme Court Judges. Take those that you have today elected by the people, and I challenge any man If it wasn't we'll done. They are good men and true men and II is everlasting testimony to your common sense that you nominated them for the offices.
 Now this was in the way of criti- cism of the State Committee. but If Mir. Conner is sincere in his deelara- tions for a primary to chose officials why does he not show 1t. by asking that voters be given chance to say who they want for President of the Railroad Commission in case Mir Co., mer is elected Governor. We don't believe MT Conner will be elected Gov ernor. still he is occupying the atti- tude of preferrlng in case of his cleo tion to appoint his own successor Tath- CT than let the people decide.

REPUBLICANs UNEASY.
Fear Effects of Legislative Tactics of
 Speaker Cannon.
Washington Special to New York
 Times.


 Times.
 Much uneasiness is being me Infested among Republican Eepresentl about the effect of Speaker Carnon's leglsia- tive tactics upon the - Il elections The opinion is expressed frequently around the Capitol that the Speaker, If he persists to the end in the course he has taken. will make certain the election of a Democratic House. Con gressmen with doubtful districts are Particularly worried, and many ,of them are among the insurgents against his policy for this very reason
 No Speaker in history has ever exer- cised power In the despotic way In which MT Cannon exercises t. Prior to Reeds time no Speaker had ne power. but neither Reed or Henderson ever made such use of their office as
 But this is not what worries the in- surgent Congressman. They relied up on legislation in this session to heIp them, but say that the bills which the Speaker, in defiance of the House ana his party, has picked out for slaugh-, ter. have been those that they relied upon most for influence with their con stituents Congressmen have pleaded with the Speaker, telling him that they are doomed to defeat unless these bills are passed. but the Speaker has brusquely turned them down.
