CummIns surrendered.

baltlmQre sun.
 The American people should under stand by this time that the Republican party has no intention at present of modifying the tarin schedules The surrender of Governor Cummins ip Iowa Is conclusive evidence of this At Oyster Bay day or two ago Senator Dick. of Ohio. stated that the Republi- cans of Ohio at their State convention would adopt strong stand~pat tariff plank" and that there would be no tariff Legislation In the Sixtieth Con- gress. This announcement was made by Senator, Dick after he had talked with President Roosevelt. It Is clear that the President is as pronounced "standpstter" as any other protec- tionist; that in the Congressional elections next November the Republi- cans will stand solidly for the Dingl3y act. There are no evidences of a break in the party of protection. although many of it's members may be in favor of tariff revision The transformation of the Iowa idea" into @ declaration which satisfies high tarif Republicans Is a triumph of party organization over and and principle. The Republicans will not only stand pat" but they will stand to a man with their party, from the President down to the humblest voter. Thus the Iowa idea" yanishes before the all-compel- ling idea of party. success. It had beauty and force Alas that it should have died so young, victim of pro- lection in it's most rapacious form!

rHorF WHO CAN vorE.

Al the sanctity is thrown around a primary election that is accorded to a State election. The State statute is explicit on this point. A man who votes illegally in . primary is amen able to ths same punishment as one whe so votes illegally at general State election. All the managers of the precincts have to take the same paths, ana 1t Is their duty to see that only those vote who are qualified. No man who is not a registered voter has any right to vote in the primary. and even if he is registered aud under poIl tax exemption age, he is not entitled to vote if his poll tax is unpaid. It should be the desire of every good eiti- zen to have perfectly fair and honest primary, and every election officer should use his best efforts to see that this is the case.

Thex Know the NIen.

When the pastor of every church in his home town is for the same candidate for Governor it is an endorsement that speaks volumes. There are seven preachers in Ensley. Ala, every one re- gardless of denomination. is going to vote for Dr. Cunningham Not only that, but every official of the town from Mayor on down. Is for him tooth and toenail If the people generally were aware of these facts. there would be no hesitancy on the part of the voters in saying who Is the more suitable man of the two candidates. Conner or Cunningham. If Dr. Cunningham were only understood by the people, what hls fife record shows. what he is and has been standing for, on every. thing that state no amount Of vituperation. no amount of corporation contributions could defeat him in his present race.

What would the great majority of Conner men be doing, while the little handful of Cunningham men were counting him out?

A NICE rANGLE.

Some weeks ago The Advertiser had something to say about the confusion and litigation that would be likely to result from the great San Francisco disaster, and the possible refusal of insurance companies to pay policies due on account of buildings destroyed by fire. Most, if not all, insurance pol- icies have a clause exempting the com panies from liability for losses result ing from earthquakes. One of the large companies has clause which declares that it shall not be liable for loss caused. directly or indirectly" by earthquakes and certain other disas- ters. One company. which proposed to pay one of its policies on a burned building. was notified by stockholders that if they paid such claims. they would be held personally responsible. and The Hartfort courant thus refers to 1t:
 :. Practically all policies declare that, If a building pr any part of 1t falls by other cause than fire, the policy shall clause. 1t is conceded 's that fsauans fire eorns panies have no right to pay losses actually caused by earthquakes. They had to get amendments to their char ters to give them the right to pay tor nado losses and lightning losses The question is with regard to losses by fire that are. attributable to the earth quake: It will be granted by any inn- partial observer that, but for the earth quake there would have been no con- hagration. It is even whispered that some thrifty nolicy holders, foreseeine that they had no hope of any recovery Tor their wrecked homes, thoughtfullv ser them afire In the confusion so as 70 collect the fire insurance But where insured property was burned it must De paid for by the companies un- less they have some definite stipula- ton to prevent this course.
 There lies the foundation of all the trouble. The companies are bound for losses caused by fire. but the contention that there would have been no fire but Tor the earthquake. and that is where they are tangled. To make it worse, the earthquake destroyed many of the water mains so that water could not be procured to fight the flames with. Altogether, 1t seems to be a tangle that the wisdom of Solomon would not straighten out
