Money in Politics.

New York Times.
 Mir Hearst files a statement show ing that he spent $256.3T0 in his un- successful campaign for the governor ship. This is an individual expenditure quite unequaled in the history of American politics. But to this sum there might p1operly be added the hundreds Of thousands of dollars Mir Hearst spent upon his newspapers m procuring publicity for himself and in promoting his candidacy. Yet the prodigal use of money n politics' has been unsparinRly condemned by Mir. Hearst and the attempt by the bad men of the corpo cations to buy elections has been the basis of some of his most ferocioUs attacks upon them. Still although the millian dol lars or SO which Mir. Hearst directly and indirectly invested in his "trY for the governorship may seem a large sum, he may be in a position to know whether, as a mere matter of person ! and newspaper advertising. he has not got his moneys worth.

generations the fires of love and de- votion to the memory of the glorious confederacy and it's noble sons and daughters who sacrinoed so much for just and righteous cause. Bnt much of their life is yet before them. while the few old veterans left are on the downward grade of life's Journey. They are few in numbers and are falling on every hand. But a few years will see the last of their meetings together on this side the Great River. Let them have the front of the stage a little while.
 What we e@want to See and what we insist wotild be right and proper. is a reunion of fconfedefate Veterans and nobody else. unless they can take with them the wives who endured their share of the hardships and sufferings Of the great conflict There need be no apprehension felt that they will not be properly treated. There is not a city in the South where there are not Confederates and their wives and sons and daughters who would look after the welfare of the veterans, provide for their comfort and make them feel that the glad hand ,of welcome Is ex- tended to them and that they are guests of honor for the time being. We want a veterans reunion In fact as we'll as in name, where they can meet and clasp hands and talk over the stirring times when they fought and marched and suffered together; a reunion where the veterans win be the chief guests and objects of attention, not the spon- sors and maids of homer. In short, we are dessrous of witnessing real and genuine Confederate Reunion.

 Most satisfactory progress is mak- ing on the annex. Within few days workmen will begin putting on the stucco and that building, too. will be completed before the first of the year.
 The new State officials will find more room than they will need and don't see what use can be made of the North annex when it is built All of us want to see 1t built so as to complete. the architectural harmony of the Capitol but I don't believe there is a necessity for it.

Montgomery and other Cities,

Comparisons are odious." quoted a Montgomery man who recently made a visit to 8 neighboring city, "but can not refrain from remarlxing that to re- ally appreciate Montgomery one must visit. some of the other cities of the South.
 Tn my recent visit to the city of which I speak. a city of much greater population than Montgomery, and a much richer city in every respect. I could not fall to compare it's disad- vantage, with it's poor lights, badly kept streets and worn looking build ings in the business districts, and its small anl i'll kept houes in the suburbs to Montgomery with its splendid lights, clean streets. many new buildings in the business district and the hundreds of beautiful residences that are spring ing up all over the city, especially in the suburbs.
 "There is another feature in which almost any city of the same size will suffer in comparison with Montgomery, and that is In the number of hand some churches. There Is not a city in the South that has as many handsome churches to the population as Mont- gomery. I always enjoy coming back to Montgomery after visit to any oth- CT place."

THE CUBAN
SITUATION
Walker on the Outlook

(Mail Special to the Advertiser. J

tMail Special to the Advertiserl
WASHINGTON, D. c., September Is.
xThe Cuban situation has suddenly alb
, scrbed Washington. Secretary Taft
cane here last evening and left today
on his mission cf mediation to the is
sumed alarming proportions.
The popular interest, of course. is
with reference to the question of ulti-
mate annexation. The feeling here is
unlikely and with intervention many
| are asking whether annexation would
not soon follow. There is undoubtedly
big pressure from American business
! interests in Cuba to bring about an
nexation. Edwin F. Atkins, the big
sugar magnate of Boston, who has in
terests in extensive sugar plantations
in Cuba, has been here urging inter-
vention and also talking ultimate
annexation. The German Ambassador
has been watching the situation close
ly, because of the effect upon the sugar
market of Europe and Of the world
annexation might have.
Secretary Taft expects to be able to
placate the factions in CUBA. 1t is be-
lieved here that he will succeed In that
mission and will suggest terms by
which the Palma government and the
insurgents will come to more amicable
relations But even with such setE5
tlement, the possibility of a recurrence
of such an uprising as that which has
taken place within the last month will
be always present. Whether the an
exation Of the island, as means of
ttling tie entire question. would be
Z, ,ul r is uncertain. But it is certain
thsl4 i ere will be agitation in favor of
annexation and that the campaign will
be waged with new earnestness from
this time on.
The calling of Congress in extra
session to consider the Cuban situation
is not probable. The President is un-
derstood to interpret the Platt amend
Henl as making the IuHctlon Oh AHIeI-
vention an executive function, and If
mediation through Secretary Taft fails,
the President would probably feel war
ranted in landing troops, preparations
for which are already made.

There is at present in Honolulu 8
man who is surely entitled to the globe
trotting record.
He is Nawokichi Nakamura, a Japa
nese who has since 1901 been all over
the world, studying, as he puts it
1.-the products, climates, customs, man
ners and commerce of all the nations.
Nakamura's card reveals the facts
that he is exploring the world and that
he is correspondent, his paper being
the Kokumin of Toxic.
He has always been a traveller. In
1887 he went to the States, as he says,
cifie Ocean In 1898 he returned to
Japan and started hat shop. A com
mercial life was too dull for him, how
ever, and in 1894 he visited Hawaii
and Canada, going back to Dai Nip
pom in 1898.
IN August, 1901. he set out on his
world tour without money and carry
ing nothing with him but change of
clothes and few minor neeessaries.
He bore with him note of intro
duetion TO whom it might concern, from
S. Isawa a member of his country s
House of Peers, bespeaking courtesy
and consideration on the part of those
he might meet in the strange lands In
which he was going to travel.
Mr.. Nakamura started from Toxic,
going first to Korea, then through
North and South China, Siam. Java,
Sumatra, Morocco, Burmah, India, Be
loochistan, Persia, Caucasia, Turkey,
Greece, Italy, France, England, Scot
land, by sea to Egypt, Algeria, Spain,
Portugal, Madeira Islands, Cape Colo
ny, Africa, Orange Free State, the
Transvaal, Natal, the coast of East
Africa, through the Snez canal back to
France, through Switzerland, Germany,
Austro- Hungary, Servia, Bulgaria.
Roumania, Russia, Sweden, Norway,
Denmark, Holland, Belgium and across
the Atlantic to New York. In the
United States he visited the principal
cities of the north and east before 60
ing to Canada. From the United States
he went down into Mexico, through
Central America, Guatemala, San Sal
vador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa
Rica, United States of Colombia, Ecua-
dor, Peru, Bolivia, Chile. the Argentine
Republic, the West Indies, Cuba, then
to New Orleans and from thence to

ALL THREE LINERS
HAD BEEN WRECKED

BY strange coincidence, while three
big ocean liners were in port all Of
which have had experiences as wreck
ed steamships, yesterday happened to
be the first anniversary of the Alame-
da' disaster at the entrance to the
Golden Gate. On September 80, 1905,
the Alameda went on the rocks while
leaving San Francisco for Honolulu,
although in a perilous position, she was
finally drawn off, drydocked, repaired
and is again on her runs almost as
good as new. The officers claim she is
better than before.
The Alameda was moored at the
Oceanic dock and across the harbor
were the Manchuria recently pulled off
the reef at Waimanalo and the Mongo-
liza which was on the Midway reef.
