VALUE OF INVENTIONS.

The value of modern inventions in an emergency is well illustrated by an incident that recently occurred in Kan sas. 4 doctor was needed. badly and quickly in a Butler County family but the nearest one was twenty -one miles away The day was very hot. and to have ridden or driven to El Dorado. the home of the doctor. and returned with him would have required eight or ten hours. Fortunately the farm CTS home had telephone and a hurry call was phoned to the physician. For tunately. again. an automobile was placed at his Service and in just a few minutes over an hour he was at the place.
 Here was a case where life or death hung on speed and it was also case where modern invention came to the rescue. If there had been no such thing as telephone. a swift rider could not have carried the call to Fl Dorado in less than three hours. and if there had been no automobile several hours more would have elapsed before the doctor could have reached the farmers  home As it was. from the time it was learned that the doctors presence was needed until he was in the house was but little more than one hour.
 This is one instance where the in- ventiveness of the age has proven blessing, but 1t is only one of the many that could be referred to. The telephone practically annihilates time. and the automobile annihilaIes botn time and distance. So many occasions come up in our daily life where 1t is necessary to send a message quickly that we are led to wonder how the world managed eto exist. and how the busy inhabitants could go on with the anai1s of life without it. And there are many occasions where the anto- mobile. many as are the sins charged to it, may be the means of saving life in an emergency. Great Is invention.

profits of the Standard oil trust. It that organization. by the expenditure of millions of dollars. can delay or minimize the production of the new fluid it will be a profitable investment. for it will thereby be enabled to main tain it's present monopoly on lighting, heating and power-producing pro- ducts.
 There must be some way to shead on the designs of this rapacious monop- ois. Congress has taken the first step towards giving the people cheap source of light. heat and power by re- moving the revenue tax from the new product, but that will be of little avail if a great trust can prevent the eco homie manufacture of the fluid. We know that the Standard oil Is one of the most powerful monopolies and trusts in the Union, but it ought not to be more powerful than the govern ment and the people There must be some restraining power in the govern ment that will prevent this trust from nullifying the intention of Congress to let the people have cheaper light and heat. If the Standard can defy the. government, outrage decency and com tinue its system of extortion we may as we'll give up all idea off'govern- ment of the people. by the people and for the people," and let trusts and mo- nopolies rule the earth.

OUR ANSWER.


 The Roanoke Leader. which has de- veloped into Conner paper since the election, although 1t was marveiously silent during the campaign. says:
 Now that the election is ever. per- haps our old friend. The Montgomery Advertiser will have time to explain to us why it favored Cunningham, the original rate reformer," for Governor of Alabama and at the same time opr posed Hoke Smith on the rate reform platform in Georgia. The puzzle deep- ems when we consider that Smith also stands for the disfranchisernent Of the negro. which The Advertiser formerly advocated vehemently. and that he IS a former gold-bug and Cleveland can- met officer. while Clarke Howell used to be branded by The Advertisers sort as a Populistic Democrat. We are sure there Is an explanation for all this, we only wonder what that explana- tion Is.
 We favored Cunningham because we believed that Alabama would derive more benefit from an administration of which he was the head than it would under Mir. Conner. He was just as much committed to railroad rate regu- lation and reduction as Mir. Conner was, and his influence for sane and just regulation and reduction would have been just as great. He Is a man of more even temperament. more jadiciai minded and less inclined to assume the role of a dictator. The primary is over and we intend to give just as loyal support to the Democratic nominee as if we had secured our choice, but as The Leader seems inquisitiye, for pur- poses of it's own. we give a frank re- ply to it's queries.
 We. do not think 1t can find that The Advertiser took any special interest in the Georgia campaign. other than de- p-ecating the low plane on which It was conducted. If we had been cit ,izen Of Georgia our vote would have gone to Mir. J. H. Estill. Editor of The Savannah News, who was just as much Of a Cleveland man as Hoke Smith, without having held an office. As to the disfranchisement issue. the wise men of the Georgia State Conven- tion in 1871, headed by the great Rob- erts Toombs. incorporated in the State Constitution a tax-paying qualifica- ton, which has virtually disfranchised negroes If we had been under such a law in Alabama since 1877. 1t Is ex~ tremely doubtful if there would have been a demand for a Constitutional Convention se6 prepare a suffrage re- | forming constitution.

Alahama's surpIum.

Birmingham Ledger
 Out of that surplus the capital can be completed, appropriations can be made for building each at Tuscaloosa @ build school houses jn fSe rural ais. tricts and a better provision can be made for the Confederate veterans. These are the things the people of the state are most interested In, and no doubt the legislature will do its full duty by each.
 The income of the state Is increasing and the expenses can be increased lit- tie by the creation of four judges. That comfortable income, however. would be all too small if the legislature shall lis ten to the lobby that win be there to urge an increase of salaries and the creation of many offices. The states purse Is full to overflowip8 and the legislature can use every dollar and pledge the states credit.

1nC INAApRAi5 tftsh 'ft5 +~NkA~ t'F+~HN- find in a contemporary is decidedly significant:
 The Standard oil Company is said to be maneuvering to acquire the own ership of all the principal distilling plants in the United States, and Is said to have obtained an option on large number. It is said to be inspired by the desire to control the output of de- natured alcohol, under the recently en- acted law.
 When the bill denaturing alcohol was before Congress we contended that if it became law the Standard oil Company would eudeRvor to Ind a way to eiroumvent 1t or minimize it's effects. It is a matter of vast import ance to the oil magnates. for the new fluid will take the place of oil in so many ways that the business and prof its of the oil magnates must be large Iv reduced. No one acquainted with the Standard oil corporation could suppose for a moment that tt would ouietIy, submit to what might cause great loss of profits to the greatest and most constituencies monopoly In the world. It has practically unlimited means and no regard for the welfare of others, and if 1t could totally pre- vent the manufacture of denatured al- cohol it would do It without regard to what might be the effect of such &C., tton ,n others or on the country at large.
 It's method of attack as Indicated in the above paragraph Is insidious and danRerous-what one of Dickens characters calls "moling" It Is mak- ing no direct attack on the law but is endeavoring to render it nugatory by working in the dark. At first view it might be thought that the Standards s plan would have little chance of sue cess, because most people will say that buying up and shutting off the distilI- cries will not prevent the establish ment and operation of others, but it must be remembered that it requires
 both tine and money to establish and operate a large distillery, and 1t may
 be taken as granted that when one is
 established the Standard will buy It. If nossible. By such means if 1t cannot
 prevent entirely the manufacture of
 the new fluid 1t can delay and minimize | the output very materially The de- mand for denatured alcohol for light ing and power producing will be enor-

If any man in Alabama ought to feel proud of his home vote it Is Hon. J. M, Foster of Tuscaloosa. He and three others were candidates for the Legis- iature, two being the number to elect. The total vote in Tuscaloosa city was 57s. and MT. Foster received 53O. which was practically unanimous endorse ment. No man in the State more rich ly deserves such an honor than Manly Poster and the people of Alabama are to be congratulated on the fact that they are to have the benefit or his wise head and useful experience in the Legislature. With such men as he IS in the majority of any assembly all will be well. Mir. Rice is to be hIs colleague and he. too. is highly com mended.

 The New York Tribune is a good Re publican newspaper. if anything can be both good and Republican, and ts generally loyal to the President, but the latter's orthographioal break is g little too much for it's stomach. Among other comments the following Is to the point:
 In the first place. abrupt and arbi best means of accomplishing the ortho- graphical Improvement of d language.
 In the second place, should the next occupant of the White House reverse his predecessors action and restore, s1 far as his Jurisdiction extended, the familiar and generally accredited forms of English words, there would then be in existence a set of executive documents preserving to future ears tiles which had been officially current during only brief period of time.
 Roosevelt may adopt and enforce his absurd ideas, but if his successor is sensible man he will consign to the trash box all the stationery printed in that style, and. as far as possible, all the odleial papers, records and docu- ments thus written or printed And we have reason to hope that the next one will be a man Of level-headed and sensible ideas who will not follow such an example as Roosevelt Is making Of himself.

MT. Conner the Nominee.

Selma Journal.
 Reports from the election have come in slowly and even now the exact fig ures are not known. It is certain how ever that MT. Conner and his friends baif jority "4a has " Increased inSrd as the returns come from all parts of the state and it is doubtful If twenty thousand will sUeSf s9eS an m eSpression @ sion of % %confidenes on the part of the democrats of Alabama and 1t should call forth the very best efforts of his life, The tie once nd er gGs- ps- sponsibilities and no man can fill the exalted position who does not eltm- tudiees i and look solely to the good Of all the people of the state
 We were opposed to MT. Conner In the primary and gave what hsip and en- ham. We did this because we honest iy and conscientiously believed him 70 be the better fitted in many ways to tration at this time. At the same time we made our fight with the fact al- ways before us that we were fighting inside party lines to settle a question that affected the party alone. We de not believe that we have ever written an unjust word although we have times We can support MT. Conner, the present nominee, without having to ex- plain or retract anything. There can be no doubt that Mir. Conner is the best posted man on railroad rates in he state and that he. can bring relief to the people along that line if the legis- perienee as a financier and business man should enable him to look after the business part of administration successfully With the certainty be- fore him that he will soon be at the head of the affairs of the state there will no doubt come sense of respons- ibility and a great appreciation of the broadness of his work and the neces- sity for a careful study of more than one question.
 Alabama is moving forward towards an era of great improvement in ever line of work. The richness of her mines, her forests. her soil and her waters are all attracting the eyes of the world. It is no time for heart burnings or contentious. Ths party has spoken fairly and in the most democratic manner possible Every good democrat n Alabama is a Conner man" today and should dress on che line and be read to. move forward cheerfully under his leadership for tRe next four years.

Oklahoma City has a Democratic newspaper called The Daily olxlahp- man. which ranks among the leading newspapers of the embryo State. That 1t has no love for the negro as a voter is apparent from this extract from it's editorial columns:
 No attempt will be made by Demo- crats to secure negro votes in the cam paign for the election of. delegates to the Constitutional Convention. In the first place all such attempts will fail in the main. for the negro has more faith in the Republican party than he lican party and hear the whisperings of the politician. but he is not on such communicative terms with the Almigh- party has nothing in common with the negro, The interests of the whites and the Indians are too great to per nit the party to pledge anything to have the eyes of the Union turned to- wards 1t. To the South and East of us are the black belts with the hoards of negroes ready to deiuge the State in case the Republican party is able to control the Constitutional Convention and provide special privileges for them.
 It Is a matter for the most serious consideration. The business interests If the new State cannot afford to have an improvident hoard of negroes over run the State and crowd the white set tier sout. It Is a question that Is of vital importance to the business of the State. The Republican politician whose only business is to prostitute the welfare of the people in order to secure votes. cares little for the fu- tuFe. The Democratic party must be the party of the people-the party of the business interests in this cam patgn. and will not make an unhoiy alliance for a few votes.
