more confidence IN the PROFESSIONS or
Beckham and Hager if they could
show any act in favor of temperance
during their official career" That
means that the ex-governor states that
nothing has been done for the tenn
perance cause during this administra-
ton. The record Of the laws passed
and enforced by us is complete ref
utation of this statement. There is
no fair-minded, non-partisan temper
ance advocate in Kentucky who does
not say that under this administra-
ton, and with its assistance Kentucky
has obtained some of the wisest and
best temperance laws that can be
found in any state in the Union.
These facts are so we'll known to our
people that it is unnecessary to ad-
duce further proof to show the falsity
of his statement. Judge Hager and
the Democratic candidates can point to
the record of the Democratic admin
istration upon this question as guar
antee of their sincerity and position
on it. There is nothing palmer in this
campaign than the effort of Mr.. Will
son to dodge, or straddle, this Ques-
tion They cannot attack our posi-
ton by the use Of SANDER and cal
jimmy The bitterness and unfairness
of the distinguished ex-governor
toward us can be accounted for to
some extent by the fact that much of
this temperance legislation which we
have passed is distasteful to some of
his best clients. Consequently, when
he discusses this issue in the cam
paign we are unable to tell whether he
is most representing these clients or
the Republican ticket. But he should
not allow his earnestness as an at
torney to cause him to lose his tenn
per and provoke him to make such
vicious and unwarranted attacks upon
us. The Democratic party has no
apologies to make for its record upon
this question, and confidently trusts
that the people of the state will not
be misled by the character of cam
paign waged upon its candidates by
Governor Bradley and his satellites.
The issue is so clear that those who
run may read. 1t is choice between
the policies of the Bradley-Taylor adj
ministratio1, for which Mr.. Wilson
stands, and the policies of the Demo-
cratic administration represented by
Judge Hager and his ticket. No SEN
sible, patriotic or intelligent citizen
can hesitate in such choice. The
campaign is now more than half over.
1 have been in every part Of the state,
and it is my candid opinion from what
l have seen and heard that the Demo
cratic ticket will, Nov. 5, be elected by
an overwhelming majority. The PEG
pie of Kentucky love fair play anG
condemn hypocrisy. They are deter
mined that a ticket like the Republi-
can ticket, which bases its campaign
upon false God and deception, shall
not succeed in this glorious old COM
monwealth.

Panics and the Surnlns

Between this time and the close of the presidential campaign it is reason ably certain that the republican lead CTS will permit no panic or serious money stringency to distress the coun- try Their success and the entire plan of their campaign depends upon the continuance of prosperity or apparent prosperity until election day in No yember of next year Until that time every spare dollar in the treasury will, if need be, be dumped into the banks to keep up show at least of easy money. Instead of revising the tariff and all taxation so that money will not unnecessarily be taken from the peo- pie, the republican leaders propose to maintain taxation and to load up the banks with money that does not In those banks draw dollar of interest.
 The Cortelyou scheme, now in-course of active operation, does not look so much to the deposit of money in New York banks as 1t does to deposits in the west and south, where crops are to be moved. The entire business is to be conducted secretly, contrary to the policy of any other government in order that the scheme can be worked so that western and southern banks will not withdraw the money they have at present deposited in New York. In other words. the govern ment will move the crops, and the spectators and promoters of Wall street will continue to have the use of southern and western funds.
 This is the scheme that Secretary Cortelyou has been appointed to carry out, and it's real and essential point is the prevention of any more spasms in Wall street. Such spasms threaten the continuance in power of the repub- lican party, and Secretary Cortelyou has been put where he is expected to put an end to them at least until No yember, 1908.

Richard NansfieId's Successor

No one disputes in these days of mourning the versatility or the mag netism of Richard Mansfield, but there are those who say he could not sink himself in his part. He created strong characters and he produced deep eff fleets, but still his art was not artifi- cial at least not to the extent that Couuelin's is. In every part he pre- sented the auditor felt that Richard Mansfield was still before him. But the same objection lies against the art of Henry Irving and a number of other strong players.
 The attention that the newspapers have given to the loss that the stage suffered when Mansfield died shows beyond all question that he stood at the head of American actors. He

Eufaula, September 5.-(Special )-The net returns from the dispensary in this city is put down at s6O0O since it began operations last March. This showing is deeply gratifying to the commission and has exceeded the highest expectations of all concerned It is also noticed that the sales are constantly on the increase and the management feels sure this amount will be greatly augmented during the fall and winter months. Of the above men toned sum s1300 was recorded as the net gains for last month, which exceeded any since the business began. It is also grati- flying to note that disorder and crime are reported at longer intervals and those who so strongly opposed the measure in the beginning are admitting that 1t is a great improvement over the old saloon system.

FAILURE OF LARGE
 BROKERAGE FIRM

New York, September 5.-The failure of Watson & Co.,, grain and commits sion brockers, was announced on the New York stock exchange today. It is understood that the firm has been very active in trading in Northwestern rail road stocks lately.
 The firm is composed of Lewis T. Watson. the stock exchange member; Henry P. Watson, H. W. Jones and G. E. Anderson. It has. branch offices in Duluth, Hot Springs, Va. Minneapolis and Winnipeg.
 W. Frank Newell has been appointed receiver for the firm. There was sharp decline of about cents a bushel In the price of grain in the market fol lowing the failure. Watson & Co. had been predicting that grain prices would advance and 1t is generally understood that their customers had profited in that market It was therefore con cluded that their losses were in stocks.
 Counsel for the assignee of Watson & Co. said that no statement would be given out for a day or two as to the financial condition of the firm, and that accountants are now going over the books

MT. Rooseveit's StrenQth

The New York World presents in the fewest possible words the Roose- welt strength, which is confessedly the strength which MT. Taft will receive if he is to become the nominee of the republican party. The World thus sums up the Roosevelt situation:
 There will be 992 delegates in the re- publican national convention of 1908, with 497 votes necessary to a choice.
 "Of these 992 delegates 393 will como from southern states, where the repubf- can organization is in the hands of fed eral office holders. 26 will come from ter rit9ries, where the republican organiza- tionis also in the hands of federal office holders, 166 will come from states west of the Mississippi. where MT. Roosevelts antl-corporation policies are most ad- mired and where his jlngo battleship demonstration is most popular. These three groups will represent 614 votes iri the convention-a safe working majority.
 How easy 1t would be for MT. Roose- welt to control that convention How easy to renominate himself If that hap pened to be his purpose!
 With the southern. western and ter ritorial delegates soidly behind him. Mir Roosevelt would not require the vote of a solitary delegate from any state north of Mason and DiXons line and east of the Mississippi river"
 But would it be prudent in the re- publican party to nominate man re- gardless of the wishes of the fifteen strong and contested states extending from Nebraska to Maine inclusive? No President has been nominated by one of the great parties regardless of those fifteen states, and certainly no republican nominee could be elected by southern and far-western states.
 The fifteen contested states cannot be forced into line by the rotten borough states, and no attempt will be made to do it. Ohio, and Illinois and New York have always been influen- tial in republican conventions, and they will be powerful in the republi- can convention to be held next year.
 The truth is, the southern delegates have their ears to the ground, and few if any of them will vote in the convention for man they think can not be elected. What the southern delegate wants above all else is a nominee who will prevent federal pat ronage from going into democratic hands. The southern delegates are by no means unit on this question. Federal patronage is all there is in the contest for them, and they will vote for whoever seems the stronger before the people of the fifteen con tested states.

Suggestion for Birmingham.

Col. John w. Tomllnson returned last night from Cincinnati. where he was a guest of the chamber of commerce of that city at their annual dinner. Regarding the occasion, Colonel Tomllnson said:
 Tt Is the custom Of the merchants of Cincinnati once a year to give ban quet where many of their customers and friends are in the city, and 1t occurs to me that 1t would be a good idea for the Board of Trade of Birmingham to ob- serve similar custom.
 Colonel Tomlinson added that he had an opportunity of conferring during his visit with a number of democrats who were in Cincinnati to see Mr Bryan, the guest of honor of the chamber of commerce of Cincinnati, and the opinion prevailed that the division among the republicans which is widening every day increases the probability of MT. Bryans election, his nomination being regarded foregone conclusion. Colonel Tomln- son said that the ovation given Mir Bry- an by the business men of Secretary Tafts state was regarded as most sig nificant."

GRIT NOT A BROTHER OF sEAur

From the New York Sun.
 One of Americas best known physi- clans, known almost as we'll in Paris, London and Vienna as in his own city, expresses amusement at the utterances of Dr. Emil Rich on the national value of beauty. He Is not opposed to the theory that 1t Is a good thing for a nation to have large precentage of beautiful men and women, to say nothing of children, but he denies the proposition that char acter, grit and will power necessarily make for beauty. That does not follow" says he. "In fact. I should say 1t usually is the opposite, so far as external beauty is concerned. The features which, as a rule, make for character and will power are not beautiful. I can see no facial beauty, for instance, in a bulging, prom inent forehead, hard mouth and square jaw Nevertheless, they are the type of features which make for moral strength and brain. Your beautiful woman may have many fine qualities, such as sym pathy, refinement, great musical or his trionic talents. and so on, but in nine cases out of ten she will not have strong will power or much force of character

really had no rival, for neither Soth- ern. nor Warfield, nor Crane, nor John Drew could have played the range of parts that the dead actor did. Jeffer son could not have done 1t, and the great actors of the past from Garrick to Edwin Booth rarely succeeded in comedy or melodrama.
 While all are willing to concede that Forbes Robertson stands today at the head of English actors, as Coquelin does at the head of French players, yet no two will agree as to the sue cessor of Richard Mansfield on the American stage. No doubt Maude Adams and Julia Marlowe outrank other players in this country of their own sex. but who, alas, among men is Mansf1elds successor? The stand ing and value of our actors of today Is personal equation that American audiences cannot be gotten to agree upon at present. Perhaps after the loss of Mansfield has been to some ex- tent lessened by time-say five years hence-the American theatre-goers could be boiled on this question, but they cannot be at present, and it would be a waste of space. on our part to attempt to name the leading American actor of today.

Estimatinu the New Crop

A year ago the Interstate Trust and Banking company of New Orleans printed an estimate of the then new crop that proved to be approximately correct. It put the crop of 1906-07 at 12,SS0, 900 bales, exclusive of linters and repacks, and MT. Hester's figures show that no better estimate was printed at that time. The estimates of one year ago wrote the crop down to even 1O,OOO,000 bales.
 The same banking company now pre- sents an estimate based on extensive correspondence of the crop of 1907-0S, as follows:
