LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
\ word for the New Spelling Idea.

Editor The Advertiser:
 Why are. the newspapers so persist ently unfair in their treatment of. the spelling reform movement which re- gently received the approval of the President of the United States? I mo- ttce in The Advertiser today an in- stance of this misleading criticism in after the Josh Billing gs-Artemus Ward style, not one of which is, Of course, enbodied in the new system or sari- body has proposed revolution in the orthography of the English language; nobody has said, let's throw away our spelling books and dictionaries. for they ar antiquated and unsuited to the brisk and easy ways of modern communica- ton. All that the simplified spelling propoganda has undertaken is to offer q list of 300 commonly used words. about the spelling of which there are already two or more ways in general use. substituting a simple and uniform spelling for each word; and to propose word where 1t has no etymologicai reason for being there. The spelling reformers are merely aiding the nor nal development of the language and anticipating changes that are bound to come. Who now spells wagon with two "g's", or Almanac" with a .k" or Tabor" with a "u?' Yet these words ana aIs na many yul. others were reformed" by dictionary and the American people readily followed him The new code says let us spell "demagogue" without and swhiskeys with the superfiuous @ .'e. omitted Is not this a brfefer and bet ter way? Is 1t not also common sense7
 When we arrive at a rational system be our schools will be able to teach the children how to spell Already the changes proposed have received the sanction of many leading school men ness world has been quick to adopt the improvements. The committee that in- ausurated the movement comprises publishers and foremost authorities om the English language in Great Britain and this country. Of course there will be many to sheer and belittie; there will also be much conscientious oppo- sition. The conservatives will be ar rayed against the innovators; has not this been the story of all reforms since give wayi Tine old dictum of the Je- suits, Leave us as we are, or let us no longer exist" is still a potent cry with a large class of our fellow crea- crusade will overbear all antagonisnt and the American people will leisure1y climb into the band wagon. "The world spins forever. down the ringing grooves of change"
 Truly yours;
 Selma, Ala, Aug. 30. 1906.
 (The Advertiser has not really been condemning reform in spelling, but Roosevelt for individually seeking to force spelling reform on the country. We know there are many particulars in which the language can be improv- ed, but the change must come gradu- ally and through the combined efforts of those qualified to suggest and en- force the Improvements What we criticise and condemn is the impotence of the President in ordering the change made at once, and in proclaiming the reformed style the ofiicial style to be qualified to decide the matter and 1t is not his business to order 1t. That Is the meat of our objections.--Ed. Ad- vertiser.)

MR. nRYAN,s RpcErrroN.

The demonstration in honor of Mir. Bryan. and the great number of peo- pie who went to New York to join in extending him welcome home. attest the strong hold he has upon the Dem- ocrats of this country. The welcome. no matter what attempts may be made to show to the contrary, was essentially by Democrats and to give expression of their feeling of loyalty to his cause As things now stand he is the undoubted choice of great majority of the Democrats of the country for President. Unless there is change so great as scarcely to be thought of. he will be the next Demo- cratic candidate for President and. therefore his utterances must be talk en as bearing upon issues that will he prominently put forth. Even this early in the day there ought to he ef- forts to secure unity of action before and on election day in November, 1903. So far as the Southern States are com cerned he is sure of their electoral vote and in this estimate we include Maryland and Missouri. which did not go for him in 1900. These will not elect a President. Did his utterances at the Madison Square Garden give him additional strength in localities where he has never been strong and which he must win in order to be vic- torious in 1908? In all candor we must express our fear that they did not. There are millions of voters who will prefer any kind of govern ment to one by the Republican party and however much some of them may disagree with MT. Bryan on some propositions, they will gladly vote for him in order to defeat the Republicans. There are enough independent voters to defeat the nominee of either party and if they should cast their votes for Mr Bryan as the Democratic nominee he will be elected.
 Some portions of MT, Eryan's speech were of a character to cause great cheering for Hearst. so that some of his great audience last Thursday night must have been adherents of man WHO VIII pG tHt C<fHtttddbC VI Nh dependent movement for Governor of New York in 1906 and for President in 1908 The men supporting Hearst, however, are not of the class who have heretofore been classified as in- dependent They have been partisans of one or the other of the great par ties. Very few of them can be count ed as such independents as those who voted for Mir Cleveland in 1884 and again in 1892 will Mir. Bryan gain or lose votes by catering to the Hearst element and advocating propositions which their leader has been so long exploiting and which are the founda- ton stone of his campaign. We do not believe that he can do better than to make his fight along the lines of tariff reform and trust regulation and control.

No Tears for Newspapera.

Mobile Herald.
 The editors of the country are the cause of the fact that the railroad regulation bill adopted by the last con gress will cut them loose from the free pass" of ancient usage.
 There could not be a greater waste of sympathy and those who had mind to shed tears for the poor ed- itors had better transfer them to the tear account of the poor railroads.
 To a paper which values It's space, or the space of which has an actual money Value-as most but not all newspaper space has-the most poorly paid and ill-reauited part of the daily been that given the railroads, gem orally on transportation account
 Some of the larger papers and few of the larger railroads. to stop pos sibIe leak in either direction. adopted a system of contracts allowing so much mileage for so much space, and both sides were held pretty close to the line of the agreement.
 The Illinois Central, one of the most fair sduare and law-abiding systems of the country. was about the first In the South to adopt this system and do away with the indiscriminate giv- use of newspaper space.
 The newspapers are in e greatest gathers by the new law When this law shall have gone into effect the railroads will pav at snace rates for their advertisements in the coin of the realm and the newspapermen. who will have to pay railroad fare. will stav at home more and attend to bus ines&

MAY HE A BOOMERANG.

The recent political order issued by Czar Theodore is called boomerang bv The Richmond News Leader. which says of 1t:
 Ii ,s in the power of the Democrats n make MT. Roosevelts Republican campaign document. yclept a letter to ConEressman Watson, telling ooom- erang for his party The more enaT- eaa eut 1t becomes that it is surcharged with n fecoiiiu& force that may pc ol- rected as indicated. That opinion we And is staahily gaining ground Upon the publication of the letter this news papar in effect, characterized It as partisan document pointing ont tnat it ignored entirely the fact that but TOT the Democratic sunnort that was given the Presidents policies, he could not have claimed for Congress what ne did claim. What was good in the rec ord of the session and was vaunted by MT Roosevelt was. we contended. duo to the minoritv's rising above the level of opposition for onnosition'a sake and sustaining the administration in meas ures that were for the general good. and at the last in harmony with broad and basic Democratic doctrine.
 Perhaps. in this instance the words of old John Trumbell may fit:
 Put aa some nuakets so contrive 1t As oft to miss the mark they drive at. .
 blower.
 Bear wide. and kick their owners over.
 We doubt if a more thoroughly po- IiticaI and partisan manifesto has ever been issued by any President-at least not since the time of Andrew Jack son. if then. It was promulgated sole lv for the purpose of influencing she coming Congressional elections. and all efforts of Roosevelt's supporters to defend or excuse it are useless. They cannot even attribute it to the Presi- dents thoughtless habit of blurting out his opinions. for no such excuse will hold water in this case. It was not the unthoughtfuI deliveraucN of a brave man, as some of his adherents claim, but a deliberate and studied partisan appeal from the chief exec utive of the Union. designed and in- tended to influence the voters with the hope of thereby securing a Congress in harmony with his own views. In short. 1t was a distinctvely partisan proclamation by a President of all the people. If it proves boomerang and results in the defeat of his party at the polls it will be a fit rebuff to a political official.

Men Up i'm Arms for Holding of An
 other Election.
 Havana Special to New York Herald
 The political war now raging in Cu- bas capital is far more exciting than the war of the revolution in the bush There is little doing with arms, but much with brains and craft. The ru- mored conspiracy against President Capote in the chair has some founda- ton, but it is not true that this Is the sole aim and object of the revo- lutionists. The particular friends of Capote think that this is a good way to get rid of Palma, elevate their chief and thus satisfy the Liberals. who have taken up arms. But 1t Is not quite clear that any considerable number of the fighting Liberals will consent to such a plan.
 The men are in arms for another purpose; this is the holding of another elction, it being charged and it must be confessed freely admitted through out the island, that President Palma's election was obtained by outrageous coercion in a manner hardly expected in Venezuela. but never in republic which boasts that 1t is fitted for self government There are many intellec- tual men of comparatively high char acter in the revolution who will not consent to Capote's elevation without going through the form of an election, In which event if he were declared elected, they would be pretty sure again to take to the woods.
 Vana today that unless Capote can make a deal with the mer in the bush he may not reach the goal if he should succeed in persuading Palma to re- sign The two men had storm scene in the palace today In which Capote was accused of conspiracy and Palma charged with being President with out power The result was no partic- ular change in the situation.

Those small homes would soon double in taxable values and thus the State would be materially as well as social k benefited. It would have a better and more desirable class of citizens than the negroes are becoming and would gain increased revenue from enhanced values.
 We are persuaded that the day of smaller farms is coming, that it ought to come. and that the South will be immensely benefited by the innova- tion. Let 1t please thee to keep In order a moderate-sized farm, that so thy gamers may be full of fruits in their season." wrote the Greek poet, Hesiod. almost three thousand years ago. and his counsel holds good now The small farms owned by those rho occupy them. are the hope of the future. The Wilkes county movement is something of an innovation. but it is a good one, worthy to be followed all over the South.

But that does not mean that a peo- ple that nominally perishes has served no good purpose or that 1t will disap- pear when 1t has ceased to be race. The Indian has a past that Is splendid in a barbaric sense. He has a future that is splendid in civilized sense, un- less we concede that barbarism is the ordained state of the race.
