LET us BE UNprRsroop.

In another place on this page we copy au editorial from The Birmins- ham Age-HernId which requires a few words Of comment. In the first place. The Age-Herald tries to make 1t ap- pear that The Advertiser had fully committed itself to Mir Bryan and was urging his nomination, but that Is not fact. In the editorial to which our contemporary has reference we said; The Advertiser is not committing It. self to Mir Bryan or arguing for his nomination" We tried to say--but tho Mergenthaler fell down on us- that "it is about two years before tho convention will meet, and decided changes may occur in that time" The fIrst half of this sentence was dropped out by the compositor which spoilt the meaning of 1t.
 Our design in the editorial in ques- tion was to sum up in an impartial manner, the consensus of opinion as we gathered 1t from public expressions. We had carefully read of the action of several State. conventions. and had kept up pretty well with public senti- ment as expressed in the newspapers in all parts of the country, and from clusion that MT. Bryan 'Fhol5s the trumps" at present. so far as public sentiment is concerned. We repeat, however, that it is too early to settle on a candidate. and The Advertiser is not 'on' the Bryan band-wagon." in the sense meant by The Age-Herald.
 And we object to The Age-Herald's criticism of our use of the word con servative," as applied to q class of peo- pie. One of the most comprehensive definitions of the word given by the encyclopedias is: "A person or being who conserves or preserves anything" That is precisely what we meant and what we wished to express. What the country needs now is a party and leader to preserve cur institutions from ! the reckless radicalism of Roosevelt-9 ism and to preserve the Democracy from the socia1istic radicaiism of Hearst and his followers In short the conservative elements of the country need to get together under censer- vative leader for the good of the party and the country. If Mir Bryan proves to be that leader when the proper time comes, we shall welcome him as heartily as any one else will It is too early yet to get on the Bryan band wagon in the sense indicated by The Age-He-sld, and our object now is to make our position clear

srArEHoa 1p AT LAST.

After a long se rugsle Indian Terri tory and Oklahom have become State; not two Stat es. as every prfnci-. pIea of justice andt fairness required. but one independent sovereignty, so far as prejudice and can't have al- lowed it to be sovereign. There are some restrictions and conditions which should not be in the bill, but on the whole the people of the two Territo- ries will rejoice at getting as much as they have.
 There was not a. shadow of reason for delaying this measure of justice so long. But for tlAe stubbornness and bossIsnI of Cannon the new State might have been formed at the beginning of the session, but 1t Is only justice to him to say that he was carrying out the demands of the President. For some reason which has never been satisfactorily explained. Roosevelt de- manded that Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory should be united as, one State, and that Arizona and New Mexico should be- united into one State. He demanded that the bill thus framed should be passed at once, and Cannon tried to carry out his orders.
 As might have been expected, this measure met with serious and deter mined opposition. There were those who believed that Oklahoma and In- dian Territory should be formed into separate States. but they were willing to give up thelr views in order to give Statehood to the people and get the matter out of the way. When 1t came to the other two territories. however, the revolt was effeetual. The people of Arizona were, unwilling to be united with New Mexico. and they had good cause for their unwillingness. What ever the House might do under the lash of the Speaker. the Senate refus- ed to be party to the contemplated injustice, and not all the influence oi the President and his party whips was powerful enough to force the bill through in that shape. It is but just to say that the President and Speaker are both discredited by the final ac' tion of Congress in passing the bill even If 1t is not exactly as if should be in every respect.

THEY ARE NOT FREE.

AAAO ANdhSHS Cihy VphfHaNA SNJSf
 The lower House of Congress has placed itself on record at last in re- gard to the type of canal to be con- structed at Panama. As some mem bers had foreseen, 1t was the presiden-' tial "big stick" that dominated the House committee of the whole in favor of a lock canal, although there Is lit tie doubt that had the members exer- cised their own will in the matter they would have voted for sea level waterway.
 It is authoritatively announced from Washington that the President had determined to veto the bill, if Congress voted for the sea-level plan. Then. if the House had passed that bill and had attached to it the section appropriate ing s25, 1000, 900 for continuing the work. and Roosevelt had vetoed 1t, what would have been the conse7uencesf Would the work stop or would the President, as he has done In more than use the public money without an ap- rrcpriation?
 But aside from that, and aside from the fact that we believe the soa-level canal would be the best. what opinion must we have of Congress when we read the above language from The Journal? ~Ha5 the members exercised their own will in the matter" we are told. they would have voted for a sea-levei waterway" Tn the naras of not exercise their own will? They were elected as free citizens of the Republic to legisiate for the best in- terests of the country according to their own Judgment They were not elected to subserve the wishes or the views Of the President They were not sent there to ''creok the pregnant hinges of the knee, that thrift may follow fsyning," or to take orders from any man or official.
 When tho President is right. there should be no hesitation about carrying aut his wishes and suggestions, but when the judgment cf ths individual members Is not in accord with his, they should have the independence and the manhood to vote as they believe is right. That is our opinion of statesman, and not a man who must first learn the direction. of the wind from the White House and trim his sails accordingly. It remains for the Senate to pass on the House proposi- tion, and if 1t refuses to agree with the latter, the result will be hold up, and we do not see what the Presi- dent will do in that case Shaking the big stick at the Senate has not beer highly successful performance so far, and if that body sticks to the sea-level proposition, we suppose the matter will go over to the next session.

BISHOP Por.rERs ENGLrsHMAN.

Bishop Potter. President. of the Pil- grim'si Club of New York and recently the guest of the Pilgrims Club of Loradcn, returns to this country with the news that the English have no liking for Americans Why should Englishmen like us as a matter Of fact? We have as people never done ianything to them to make them love us We rebelled against Eng lands despotic rule, in I776, went to war with her in 1872 and by yelled threats in 1866 compelled arbitration of the Alabama claims, and pulled her Into the Venezuelan arbitration in 1896. When they consider the enor- nous growth of the United States, its commanding place in the world, Eng lishmen instead af feeling proud are apt, we suspect, to share in Rudyard Kipl4ng's sentiment as he stood in the rotunda of the Capitol at Washing ton looking at sne picture of the sign ,ers of the Declaration of Indepen- dence and reverting in mind to George the Third, then rntfttered unler his breath "d-d fool"
 We can, imagine most EngIishmen have thought how inpregnable place the Empire would hold if our country remained a part of the British domin- ion. Thoughtful Eng1ishmen and ltb- eral Englishmen, like Bright, Golden, Morley and Boyee have been glad of our independence as furnishing an Op- portunity for the greatest experiment in free government the world has ever seen, an experiment that has rrofound- ly influenced the political development of Europe and. will continue to exert this influence. so long as we remain true to the Fundamental character of | our institutions. To the average Eng | lishman, however, we must concedc the average American would naturally appear offensive. Is there any nation much devoted in affection to any oth- CT nation? Barring the stimulus fur nished by alliance, offensive and defen- sive, every great nation regards every other great nation, indubitably as rivals and as possible enemies. Then there is the far deeper cause. manners and cus- toms differ. and likes and dislikes are founded on these. Slight differences in manners and customs trritate more than those more conspicuous. like forms of government. It is not every foreigner that is sympathetic enough to admire the constant tinkle of ice in water pitchers through the corri- dors of our hotels, a sound that the Baedeker man says is the most char acteristic in the United States. On the contrary they detest our ice water and are annoyed by 1t. A whole cata- logue might be made in this way that causes the American on his return from abroad to thank God he is at home and inspires the foreigner to a like ex- clamation as our shores retreat before his eyes.
 We apprehend on the larger question the American likes the Englshman better than he is liked in return. So many millions of our race are of Brit | ish descent, our institutions and Ian | guage and literature are so deeply in- debted to that descent, that in our separation we can look back to the mother country rejoice in her achieve- ments grand as these are, and feel not a little affection for her soil itself

ssLOOks Like Bryan., :,

Birmingham Age Herald.
 Under the foregoing title The Mont gomery Advertiser frankly proceeds to seat itself in the Bryan bandwagon. predicting even before the band begins to play the nomination of the Nebras- kan because. as 1t expresses the situa- ton he seems to hold the trumps"
 The coming over of The Advertiser springs from the feeling of hopeful ness that permeates the Democratic party of today. Union is easy when there is hope. When there is none dtsinteEration Is just as easy and natural. The Democrats are getting together. sinking all minor. obsolete and non essential differences. simply because victory is in the air. This Is why the bandwagon Is filling up rapid
 ly. But there is room for all, even for The Mobile Register.
 The Advertiser intimates that MT.
 Bryan has abandoned "his d-time
 herestes." It is however, mistaken. The heaven born ratio is abeyance on-
 " because the per capita circulation 1898 it was down 10 about $21. The gold mines have filled the pockets of
 the people If the gold mines should again bring forward his "hOresy." Nor i has the Man from Nebraska changed his views on the nCcd of an income tax, on the direct se@-tiOn of United States Senators by the people, on the | initiative und referendum, on the | trusts. and particul1rlv on Dingleyism. ilN stands where he has always stood in favor of government of the peo- pie, bv the people. for the people. He
 stands for ne re-cstablishment of the competitive principle, and this means that the trusts must in some way be dissolved
 The word "conservatIve" that The Advertiser uses so glibly has a damp, Erave-like smell. It comes from the catacombs of the nineteenth century. It has no relation to or place in the ! progressive twnetieth century This is not q hold-back age in any country, least of all in these United States. The Advertiser is now calmly and firmly i seated in the Bryan bandwagOn, and it | should at once blue pencil the word
 "conservative" in its dictionary, for 1t l will haze no further use for it.

Ought to Come DOv~p.

NTHOI BI IiHd ETItI TIIsts
 Dr. Cuuningh Is going to defeat Conner. Alabama will continue to grow and prosper. The people are falling into the Cunningham column up this way. Here are tho points that the vo- ters cant catch on to. If Conner wants to do so much for the people of the place he was elected to? They know what he says he'll do as Governor Is all bosh and can't be done by him or any one else. Too much manhood is in the make up of voters up this way to wish a man elected Governor who works and advocates working children in cotton mills. Conner ought to ocme down and quit haraguing the people. He will realize 1t when too late.

wer confess that we do not under stand that Iowa business. When Sec retary Shaw went out there to make speeches against Cummins, he gave out that he was speaking for the admin istratlon--for the President, in fact, but the latter quickly repudiated the claim. Did Shaw take on himself the responsibility of making Roosevelt a partisan in the Iowa fight, or did Roosevelt throw Shaw down?

Geneva Reaper.
 The Reaper has received several copies of Mr. Corners latest and prob ably last because superfluous and in- effectual 'appeaI' to the voters, with the request stamped on the wrapper. Please Hand Around" If Mir.
