PRINTERS KEEP UP STRIKE.
Men Still Out Vote to Leave Town ii
 They Can't Win.

Hartford, July 14.-Charles E.. Wilkins of Boston, an organizer of the Allied Printing Trades council,
 spoke before the members of Typo
 graphical union, No 127, yesterday afternoon on the present status of the eight hour movement in New Eng
 land, and also outlined the progress
 of the work of organization in the
 smaller towns and cities. MT Will
 kins is on two months tour of New
 England for the purpose of organ izing the compositors who are not
 now members of the union, and he
 reports success in the few towns he
 has visited in this state since he began his tour two weeks ago.
 He reports that the strike for an eight hour day is making gains in Boston, and more recently in Proyi- dence. where, he says, an important settlement seems about to take place. The members of the union present at the meeting yesterday voted to con
 tinue the fight for the eight hour day | in Hartford, and if their contention
 were not granted to leave the city | for work elsewere. Already num-
 Der of the strikers have gone to other cities to take up work under the
 eight hour day. The printing houses say that as far as they have been
 concerned the strike has been dead
 good while.

sidized in Dr.: Cunningham's behalf.
 That is the Conner style or argument. The bare-faced, unsupported assertion, intended to deceive.
 Why should a member of the Ala bama press attempt to befoul his own nest?
 Dr. Cunningham has stated that he has not paid a newspaper one dollar for it's support, and as the statement of an honest man his words will be believed by honest men.
 If, as the Conner papers are trying to convince the people, the Cunning ham papers are subsidized. how do these Conner papers hope to convince the people of Alabama that the Conner papers have not had a grab at the con- tents of Big Boss Corners "barrel."
 If the press of Alabama is corrupt. a proposition which Dr. Cunningham and The Herald both emphatically de- ny. how dare MT. Conner and his news papers to arrogate themselves all honesty and at the same time charge their political opponents with all dis
 pr. Cunningham is not wealthy man. His entire fortune would not be sufficient to pay for the space given him In three of the largest Alabama papers now supporting him if that space was charged at advertising rates.
 The Conner Idea that pr. Cunning ham has prostituted a preponderance of the press of this great State would be ridiculous if it was not so insulting to the intelligence of the people of Alabama and to the integrity of many of the States leading citizens.

THURSDAY, MAY IF, 1908.
A LONG LOOK AHEAD.

Fixing the age of the earth is one of the problems that has not and nev- CT will be settled. There are geolo- fours has existed at least five hundred million years, but it Is plain that there can be no proof of the statement If they had put the time ten times as great. or if they had put 1t at half a million years no one could disprove their assertions. They claim that there are evidences of animal life on the earth at infinitely remote periods yet so far as we know the records of the oldest cities built by man do not go back to the Mosaic account of creation.
 But all this Is easy compared with the assertion of a professor of Chi cago University who assures us that our globe is good to stand one hundred million years yet That opens up vast possibilities of human accomplishment. It may even allow time to finish the canal if everything goes on well. That is some consolation. whateverelse may come to pass. But when we think of the possibility of such a long period of earthly survival we can not help spec ulating a little on what is ahead. If mans invsntiveness should continue for millions of years, even if 1t does not advance faster than 1t has during the present century, no one can even imagine what will be possible for him to accomplish. If discovery and inven- tion and human progress should con tinue as long as the Chicago man pre- diets this will be a wonderful world
 But there is another consideration that has somewhat staggering effect. Given one hundred million years of hu- man life, with but an extremely moder- ate increase, and where will all the people live? What will they subsist on? The question Of room is not so bad. because men will learn to build their dwellings for miles up into the unoccupied atmosphere, but what they will subsist on is not so easy to de- termine. It may be that they will learn the art of subsisting without eat ing or drinking and won't worry them selves over problems that now confront us. We predict that if one of the pres ent generation could return a million centuries hence he would see strange sights.

The Unsupported Assertion.

MODlle herald.
 The unsupported assertion is the chief political stock in t.1de of MT. Conner and his supporters - the pres ent campaign.
 MT. Conner says on the stump: "Dr. Cunningham doesn't know. anything about child labor. Dr. Cunningham doesn't know anything about railroad rates" Such statements are not argu- ment. They have nothing to recom- mend them. They are not convincing and they are not true.
 Not only is MT. Conner guilty Of this unfair and unstatesman-like conduct, but some of his supporters of the press have taken up the same course, fol- lowing the cue of their boss.
 The Canebrake Herald, published al Cniontown, for instance concludes an editorial paragraph with this bare faced statement:
 Take from him (Dr. Cunningham the support of the subsidized newspa- pers and there would not be left 10 him bakers dozen of newspapers 10 champion his cause"
 The same paper also refers to the "ceaseless efforts that are being made In his (Dr. Cunningham's) behalf py the large number of railroads. subsi- dized newspapers, throughout the State"

WHO'S AFRAIDf

Will the cruel-hearted medicos and other scientists never stop soaring us about what we eat? We really thought strawberries were about as near to be- ing the perfection of harmless fruit as could be found, but some late writ CTS have discovered--or think they have, that the strawberry is a deadly poison to some people. No doubt peo- pie have been eating this fruit since Adam and Eve kept the garden, and will coHtinue to eat them as long as they eat anything. And the uncertain ty of the medical announcement makes it all the more discomforting. If the berries are a deadly poison to some people how can any one of us know that we are immune?
 But that isn't the worst. Here comes Buffalo physician to assert that the strawberry season is marked by a great increase of insanity" Now isn't that calculated to jar ones faith in things? And the worst of it Is that the strawberry season" includes about half the year. In February, or some- times in January. we may eat them from Florida, and up in the extreme Northern States and Canada they are in season in July. If there is really "a great increase in insanity during the strawberry season it follows that the increase is going on for about six months in he year And. to make an end Of it, we don't intend to quit eat ing them for any such alleged reasons. Fetch another plate full!

WHO IS SAYING MEAN THINGS. NOW

WHO IS SAYING MEAN THINGS, NOW
 4 few days ago The New York Post 1 charged The Advertiser with saying mean things" about the President. Two or three days later The Post had an editorial which we copy entire because every sentence cuts. It says:
 Yesterdays outbreak in the Senate was only what those In close touch with the situation have been predicting. Too many angry men have been going tricked by the President in the rate bill matter. to make t possible to sup. press open charges of bad faith. But things merely show that they are not adopts in that fascinating study Roosevelt psychology. The President ties at Washington that he exhibited at Albany as Governor. That is to say, when some project of Legislation in

Then when he finds where the it vehementIy, and declares that he ss is os aoa mcs a ss out loud" His enemies apply a harsh There are always iesisiaaors ' to as say that he has deceived them: there Is al- ways an astute ard powerful leader like Aldrich to get the necessary votes veft as lever S .tSenx % % ,,pon the % stronger side" The Rhode Island Senator de- served the congratulations which were offered him yesterday. As was justly said, he is the Republican leader in the gets it. Just now he has got the con sent of the President who vowed that he would ne'er consent.
 Now, if any one will go through the files of The Advertiser it will be diff ficult to find more mean things'-if by that expression is meant cutting criticism--that will be found in this brief editorial from The Post. In prac- ticaliy direct language our contempo- rary accuses the President of unsta- bility. insincerity and of political dis honesty. It charges him with taking positive position on important subjects and then changing to what he after wards considered the strongest side. It changes him with deliberately or weakly deceiving his friends by mak- ing them believe he was conscientious ly supporting a measure and then facing about and leaving them in the air. It charges that he has not been honest in his support or opposition when grave questions were up, but that he allowed himself to change from one position to another because he found 1t to his interest to change.
 The Post charges Roosevelt with all these faults and failings and asserts that he has always been so in his off, ficial life, and really affects to be sur prised because others should have suf- fered themselves deceived by him. Mind, we are not taking issue with The Post on any or all its propositions, but merely print and comment on what it says in order to remind it that its right to throw stones at The Adverti- ser is very much circumscribed by its own position.

Fonville, of the Western Union Telegraph Company whose main | office in Montgomery has been removed to the corner of Bibb and Coosa streets l due to the damage to the old office by the fire which destroyed the Gay build 1 ing.
 "The difficulty we had in securing a location" continued MT. Fonville sim ply shows that Montgomery Is growing fast and that there is as much business here as there are houses to put 1t in.
 "The fire which damaged our office and practically wrecked the building handicapped us for awhile but now that we are in quarters we are going right ahead and every effort Is making to keep our patrons from being incon- venienced.
 we will probably remain In the place at the corner of Bibb and Coosa streets until a new building Is erect ed on the Gay property. This may be a year but we expect to go back to the old stand as we have long lease on that place"

A HIGH BRIDGE.

Among the many wonders. natural and artificial, of the Colorado region there are few which win surpass the steel suspension bridge now being con- structed across the Royal Gorge on the Arkansas branch of the Colorado River. Along the bottom of this gorge runs the track of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway. and at the top of the Assure, half a mile above the railway,
 is steel suspension bridge 2so feet
 long and twenty-two feet wide. One of l the pecuiiarities of this structure Is that 1t is to be fioored with plate glass through which pedestrians crossing 1t I will be able to look down to the bot tom, half a mile below. at the passing
 trains
 This gorge which is only fifty feet
 wide at the bottom, is one of the many mighty Assures or cracks which abound
 in the great West, and the bridging
 of this one, at such a great height from
 the bottom, is but another evidence of the wonderful skill and resources of the American engineers and mechan- ics. There are many longer and lar ger bridges than this one, but when it is completed it will be the highest bridge in the world. It will be quite an experience to walk across 1t and survey the gorge below. with its rug ged precipitous sides and Its depth that will require the aid of telescope to penetrate. Americans certainly can do anything when they determine to do them.
