yIOLATER THE LAW.
The President and Congressman Sher-
 man in for 1t.


 Washington Special.
 The fact became known today for the first time that President Roosevelt violated the law when he contributed to the dollar campaign fund of the Re, publican congressional committee, and that Chhairman sherman, by virtue of his position as congressman, was guilty of misdemeanor in soliciting subject to a fine andimprisonment The offense is made punishable in the civil service act which deals with political assessments and contributions.
 The civil service commissioners were not even on to the presidents part in the violation of the law and when 1t was called to their attention this afternoon they were almost dumfound- ed.
 The section which is number eleven of the act creating the commission is so plain and direct that it does not permit of misunderstanding. It de- clares specifically that no senator congressman executive judicial. mili, tary or maya. officer of the United States and no clerk or other officer shall directly or indirectly solicit or receive or be in any manner concerneH in soliciting or receiving. any assess- ment subscription or contribution TOT any political purpose whatever troti, any official or clerk of any branch or tion or salary from the treasury or the United StateS.'N
 The Republican leaders, Theodort Roosevelt included, are caught with the goods on them. That the civil ser vice commissioners should have allow ed such a statute to become dead letter in the midst of campaign Is not creditable to them.
 That nothing will come of the incl dent Is to be expected. The least the president can do Is to publicly request sherman. for soliciting and receiving the contribution. Is subject to Vel severe punishment. The ,offense of meanor. The penalty is punishment by a fine not exceeding $5.o00 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding three years of by such fine and i'm. prisonment both in the discretion oi the court"

DOESN'T STATE TT FAIRLY.

Some days ago The Advertiser edi- torially condemned the efforts of union organizations to force all laboring men e unite with or against any political Darty. or for the purpose of electing Or dsfeating any candidate for office. We denied the moral right of any class to organise themselves together for purely political purposes, but our posi- tion doesn't suit The Pensacola Jour nal. which says:
 We should like to know why the working men of this country have not q clear moral right" to organize for their own protection and to cast their ballots in their own interests.
 what are the polls for anyhow-for protection of the classes?
 And If the majority is to rule, for whose benefit is 1t to rule-for the ber- ent of the majority or the benefit of
 Of course 1t is all right-from The Montgomery Advertisers point of view flor the capitalists to organize-to lures. and keep men like Nelson Aid rich in the United States Senate to do their work for them.
 But; the moment the producing class es take a leaf from their book, and seek to protect themselves through tn" ballot box. as practical Dem ocrats should. it Is all wrong.
 This may be Democracy, with big sD." If so, 1t is the sort of Democ- racy that differs from Republicanism in name only.
 The Journal either misunderstands or misstates The Advertisers point of view" The laboring men of the country have as much right to band Themselves together for political pur- poses as the capitalists or any other class have. We simply assert that it e wrong for any class of citizens, in- dustrial, professional, financial or any other. to band together for political purposes. We hold that each labor inga man should be perfectly free to vots as he pleases regardless of any oath bound organization. If each or any class of citizens is going to sur render political Independence and be- come nothing but a political machine, the slaboring men have the same right to do so. We simply refuse to admit that any class Is morally right when lt becomes a political machine.

the criminals and ridding the com- munity of them. But they did not stop there: they called upon the authorities. of the city of Griffin to abolish all paces where vice and immortality are bred among the negro population, in- ciuding negro pool and billiard rooms. and also to enact and enforce . string ent measure against the needless con gregating of negro boys and girls about and in the depot at train hours. making the place nuisance: and they called upon the state authorities to rigidly enforce the vagrant law and rid the community of the idlers and loiters that constitute a perpetual menace to the peace of the city.
 If these Griffin negroes are sin- cere they are acting along the right line Sooner or later the negro must himself become the most relentless foe that the negro ravlsher has and not only condemn his act but run him down and bring him to Justice. Un- fortunately the disposition. of the ne: gro has been to shield the criminal clement of his race, and this alwayS adds to the gravity of an acute sit uation; but the Griffin resolutions put the criminal negroes on notice that in future the law abiding element of his race becomes his prosecutor, and the result of this change will be watched with interest by other sections Of the State. .-.

 A nomination by the dominant party Tn this State is tantamount to an cleo uon' ana we are often prone to neglect gong to the polls on election day and casting ballot as we are by duty bound, for the choice of our Party
 We should vote the full State ticket as nominated.
 No opposition is offered to any of our nominees for district or county offices 9ther than that of J. c. Fonville, a Republican. who is opposing Conolei A, A. Wiley Tor Congress in this, the sec ond district, and while this amounts to practically no opposition, we should see to 1t that Colonel Wiley receives every Democratic vote in the district. His devotion to the interest of his dis trict and especially that of his old home county should be gratefully re- membered by his constituency and a majority boiled for him in the Novem- he received before. His pre- eminent fitness for this exalted position has been demonstrated time and again. His splendid abilities. liberal cultures and broad statesmanship have given him d commanding position in the counsels of the nation Indeed, few men have attained the hlsn standing and envi- able reputation as. great Legislation, which after but six years of service, he occupies today. His influence and vote is always found upon the side of right contending for the rights and needs of the weak and oppressed against the greed of the powerful and opulent His untiring faithfulness, en. ergy and watchfulness in securing leg islation favorable to the interest of his district, has characterized his entire official life.

SOME NORTHERN VIEWS.

Speaking of race troubles. The Chi- cago Journal declares that the mob spirit Is less prevalent in the North than in the South. If that is true. 1t Co less prevalent simply because of less provocation. Given like conditions and hardly a community North of Mason and Dixon's line would have any ex- cuse for casting stones In this direc- ton. And that reminds us that The Lincoln (Neb.) Journal. a thoroughly Republican newspaper, has some com- ments on the movement gotten up by negro agitators to have the Interstate Commerce Commission abolish the sys- tenn of separate cars on all lines where the Commission has power to act. Thereupon The Journal thus com ments:
 x The law is perfectly clear on these points. but what will happen when 1t e enforced In the south, and what Will be the effect of the advent of ne- groes in Northern sleeping cars? It Is the evident intention of q considerable section of the negroes to insist upon the very letter of their civil rights and they are organizing for that pur- pose. The trouble will not be confined to the South. Despite Mir Washing tons advice the dsfranchised negroes of the South are certain to trek slowly Northward. and recent history shows the race feeling is no milder in a Northern city than In a Southern, giv- on equally, large proportions of ne- groes Under the law Lincoln res faurant or hotel keeper can be prose- cuted for refusing accommodation to negroes. The one who obeys the law sees his white patrons walk out in real or affected disgust. If so minded fhe negroes of every Northern city could keep such lines of business con etantly in hot water merely by demand inr the enforcement of existing laws They show A not unnatural tendency fo do 60 North and South. and thereby f,rce the issue.

BIRTH OF AN ISLAND.

nat many islauuS, sOHle OI them or great extent, are of volcanic origin. is settled geological fact Some of them show little appearance of 1t, however. Ages have elapsedVince they came up out of the sea. and during the time since they were formed, the ceaseless so deeply with earth, and clothed them with such luxurious growth of vegi- tation that their inhabitants find noth- ing to show to them that their land was at some remote period part of the bed of the ocean.
 Not often is 1t given to human eyes to see an island born, as we may ex- true. sailors have brought marvellous reports of having seen a great mass rise aboue the waves and take shape and form. Some of these statements have been fabulous, and in some cases the islands thus formed have existed but a short while. when they returned below the waves and disappeared for ever. In some cases these islands have remained and give promise of being permanent fixtures.
 The latest to be reported, and whose birth has been watched by reliable wit nesses, appeared-or began to appear last April, and adds one more to the numerous Aleutian Islands in Alaskan waters. From the hest information ob- tainable, it rose from the sea about the 18th of April, and its birth Core spends with the terrible catastrophe at San Francisco, plainly indicating that there was some connection between the powerful disturbance which created such havoc in California, extended northward under the ocean and found vent in the North Pacific, where it added a new member to the numerous Aleutian group of islands.
 The first reports brought in by the fishermen were not generally credited Their statement was that a mass of tremendously hot stone came suddenly into view, causing a wonderful com motion in the ocean for miles around. Since then it has been visited by a number of vessels, among them being the United States Revenue Cutter Per ry. whose captain gave the name Perry Island to the new arrival. It is de- scribed as betng shaped like a huge beehive, and is now nine hundred feet ill diameter at it's base and seven nud- dred feet high. When it first appear ed it was like . mass of red-hot metal, sending forth clouds of blinding smoke and stifiing fumes which prevented any near approach. During the six months it has cooled to such degree that it can now be visited, and some have ven- tured to land on it, one sailor ascend ing almost to it's highest point.
 Notwithstanding the time that has passed, Perry Island Is still, as one ac- count says, one of the hottest places en earth. There are numerous cracks and Assures from which great clouds of steam and smoks and sulphurous va DOTS continually rise, rendering visit to 1t a matter of some peril. Its shape will prevent it ever becoming habit able, perhaps. unless other changes take place, but in course of time it will become an abiding place for some fowls and animals, and may eventually acquire a semblance of vegetable growth. Whatever may be its future, its origin or its nature, it is one of the few islands that was seen in the mak- ing,
