in these plutocratic days had stood unsullied. Long will he be remem- bered, and on the printed page he will live as long as the state remains a political unit. His ideals were high and his devotion to friends and to his state was a marked feature of his career. Two grand old men have passed into eternity, and the people of Alabama will no doubt perpetuate in some fitting manner the memory of both.

Two Grand Old Men

Another veteran Senator rests in Alabama soil. The two unique and widely beloved representatives, of Ala bama rest side by side as they had long sat side by side In the Senate chamber the most unique pair in all senatorial history. As long ago as 1S42-think of it!-Edmund Winston Pettus was admitted to the practice of law in his native state, and he has ever since been a factor in Alabama affairs save in brief absence in Cali fornia in 1S49. He was citizen of ,..e state all his life except two years and a month, which were spent In CaI4.~ lia.
 But the most remarkable feature of his life was the senatorial career that began when he was 76 years old. He was a quiet, delightful speaker, full of excellent humor, and he soon won the good will of the Senate and the love of the people. This sentiment is shown today in the numerous tributes that are paid from one sea to the other to the uead Senator. As he was loved in life so in death he is mourned.
 The veteran soldier and statesman nobly rounded a long and honorable career, and he died poor in this worlds goods, thus showing that his integrity

School of Technology.

It Is not true.' said a prominent cit izen' that the idea of establishing a school of technology here has been aban- doned. While the matter was being agl- tated several months ago it was suggested that Howard college, with It's fine build ings and excellent organization would be an ideal institution for adding a tech nological department to it's general edu- cadonal system; and I have every reason to believe that Howard will carry out the suggestion.
 ITO build up from the bottom a purely technological school would mean a large expenditure of money, whereas, at com- parattvely little cost such & school could be founded in connection with a pros porous college like Howard. It is safe to predict that by the fall of 1908 Howard will have, well appointed technological schoo1n

spect and affection for "the old man eloquent" Of course, there could be no parallel between ex-President John Quin- cy Adams in the House of Representa- tives. old man on the verge of the grave, and exPresident Theodore Roose- welt in the Senate, a comparatively very young man in splendid physical condi- tion. The Courant asks: Would MT. Roosevelt, after his nearly eight years in the White House, enjoy the experiences that are the lot of all newcomers in the Senate?' And this is the Courant's re- ply to its own question: "The older sen ators might not haze him, as they have hazed MT. La Follette-and again they might-but anyhow they would bring thoroughly home to him the fact that he was a freshman, to be seen and not heard. If he started in to make speech, they would write letters or read literature or stroll out to the cloak room. He wouldn't like that. Would he like the rules and the daily routine and the lis- tening most of the time to the speeches of his seniors? It seems rather doubt full Theodore Roosevelt has impressed the country as being an executive man rather than a senatorial man."
 There have been many exceptions to the rule that new senators are not permitted to go at once to the front. or somewhere near that position. That depends on the record a new senator has made in his state and the impression he has created among the people generally. Oliver P. Morton, whose statue has just been erect ed in front of the capitol at Indian apolis, was a great senator as soon as he was sworn in. and became, in a very short time, the leader of his party in that body. Other examples could be mentioned, but they will be recalled by all who are familiar with our political history. The Post does not know what are the wishes or plans of MT. Roosevelt touching a seat in the Senate. but we can not possibly imagine him being disciplined by cold shoulders or treated otherwise than with due courtesy and distinguished consideration.

The old noun tainer ordered everything on the bill of fare and soon devoured it. But his ap- petite was not quite satisfied. Looking across the table he noticed a dish of broiled ham and "eggs up'' in front of the governor. Pointing his long, bony finger at the dish of ham. he said to Governor Johnston: Stranger. please pass the fry! The governor passed it.

 nEIAN R. ROOSEVELT and the John
 HNNk Quincy Adams Precedent" Is
 the theme of highly inter estlng editorial in the Hartford Courant of July 26. Our contemporary Is not by any means sure that MT. Roosevelt desires election to the Senate or that he could have 1t if he so desired. In connection with this the Courant recalls that "Theo- dore Roosevelt was born in New York, grew up there. served his political ap- premiership there; he Is remembered there as a young man at the caucuses. unsuccessful candidate for the may yoralty, legislator, police commissioner and gov ernor He has trodden heavily, at one time and another on many New York toes. The older politicians and the poli- ,ticians of his own age know him per- sonaly and close to; a large percentage of them dislike him, usually for reasons that rebound to his credit. It is also to be remembered that New York is the very stronghold of powerful Interests'-busi- ness and high finance-which he has nor tally offended. He's as solid as ever with the plain voters-the republican rank and file-but probably he has more political enemies of the ugly, vindictive kind in his own state than in any other half dozen states put together. Add tBat New York is by habit a close and doubtful state-its politics honeycombed with deals, a-bristle with knives a happy hunting ground for the sort of politicians whom John Quincy Adams good but waspish old father called the devils own incomprehensbles.'
