One of the most important relig-
ious events of the present year will
be the international convention of
Christian Endeayor societies. to be
held in Geneva, Switzerland, begin
ming next Wednesday. Hundreds of
delegates from this country will be
present, as well as representatives of
all other civilized nations. The con-
vention will be the most important
in the history of the movement, which
dates from February 2, 1881, when
it was founded by the Rev. Or. Fran
els L. Clark of Portland, Me. From
an unimportant organization of the
| young people of a single church it
has expanded until now there are in
various parts of the world more than
| 10, 900 Cnristian Endeavor societies,
| with a total membership of nearly
four millions. The society was con.
fined to this country until 1887
| when a branch was organized il
England, followed by others in man,
other European countries. The con
stitutiOn of the society has been pub
lished in over thirty different langu
| ages The movement is not a de
nominational one, societies connected
with any evangelical church beine
eligible to membership in the inter
national body.

The Pastor Who Failed

1t appears that the strenuous life.

1t is said, also. that this man of

resting on the new church, or, rather

SATURDAY, sEPTEMBER 20, 1905.

There was a splendid chance for
Democratic victory in Massachusetts
this year, but 1t has been knocked in
the head by the action of the coun-
terpart of Hearst's New York Munich
pal League. Mr.. Moran received its
nomination and declared II the DEM
ocrats did not nominate him he would
run anyhow. His bluff seems to have
prevailed and the real Democrats
turned things over to him. One OF
our exchanges in commenting on it
says: "The plain fact Is that. before
winning the nomination. Moran re-
duced a party with such an opportu-
nifty for victory as hardly comes twice
in a lifetime to a condition of demon
allied hopelessness. He carries the
primaries because his dog-in-the-
manger attitude and his determination
to run on a third ticket, no matter
what occurred. has caused the with
drawaI from the contest and almost
from the party of leaders like Dou-
glas and whitney. who might have lee
70 victory in November"

The extent of the damage brought
by the terrific storm at Pensacola ad
Mobile is not fully known. but 1t is
evident that it is the greatest calam-
ity of the kind ehat has ever visited
either city. Mobile seems to. have
been struck the harder and no doubt
private individuals have sustained
great losses. Only a day or two ago
The Advertiser was noting the terrible
visitations by IRE and earthquake that
have recently caused such widespread
destruction and distress and now al
most at our own door comes this
great disaster OF wind and sea.
The sympathy of the people OF
Montgomery, Alabama and the whole
country will go out to these stricken
cities and IT is earnestly hoped that
the result may not be SO bad as now
indicated. There Is a close tie be-
tween Montgomery and Mobile and
Pensacola. for many of our citizens
have near and dear friends and rela-
tives in the two cities. The constant
appeals to The Advertiser for Nnews
has Indicated the intense interest felt
by our people.

Editor The Advertiser:
It seems from a recent editorial in
your paper that possibly my article
on the poll tax question has been mis-
tended that the payment of the poll
tax should not be condition prece-
dent to voting. Upon the contrary, l

nent protection we can have against

| My whole proposition is that in
changing from one evil we ought not
unless absolutely necessary, to go into
another. 1 believe the idea of permit
ting man to bribe himself into non

effect upon the State. I cannot agree
with you that It is case Of mere in

believe that thousands deliberately
commit political suicide who have Wis

for the sordid purpose of saving this
small sum of money ]. do not think
that this spirit should be encouraged
by law. think the tendency should
be resisted rather than promoted. ano
believe the public welfare, IL not al
ready involved, will become so in time
If this condition continues. 1t is I'M

| There is another feature of the pol
tax provision which ought to be rem

to include the statement of the pol
taxes with the other taxes, and car
only give a poll tax statement wher

If the size of the salary list is any
criterion New York ought to be a well
governed city. though we doubt If any
one would put up such claim for it.
The New York Times is authority for
the statement that the amount paid
out for salaries OF all kinds for 1908
was a little more than sixty-four mil
lion dollars. and that this year It will
be still larger. According to the esti-
mated population OF New York on jan
uary /, 1905, the salary list amounts
to about seventeen dollars a year for
each Individual. Suppose Montgomery
had to pay out proportionate amount
on salaries alone. how long would it
keep up?

It has often been said that when it
came to parceling out offices North
Alabama meant only the counties ir
the Eighth Congressional District, but
that when 1t came to soliciting votes
on the idea of standing up for North
Alabama the line reached some dis
lance south OF calera. In view of this
the foiiowirg item from The Moulton
Advertiser IS interesting:
G. N Robinson is a member OF the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee from Lawrence county, and ne is
about the only nibble North Alabama

When the news reached Buffalo that
Charles f. Hughes had been nominated
for Governor by the Republican state
Convention. the Hearst boomers grew
serious and Hearst's opponents began
to make predictions quickly that the
conservative element of the Democratle
PARTY would vote for Hughes. Several
anti-Hearst men declared that a good
Democrat could msre consistently vote
for Hughes than for Hearst. One OF
these was Harry w. Walker. who or
ganized the Bryan reception and called
