ROOSEVELT AND THE DOCTORS.

President Roosevelt has not figured
 before the public as especially inter ested in the medical profession, but &C., oording to Surgeon General Rixey of the United States Navy. publicity does not attend all the Presidents good works, contrary to the assertions of his opponents. Dr. Rixey, who was made known to the public through his professional services to President Mo- Kinley, says: Tt may never be known how much President Roosevelt is interested in and has done for the medical profession until it has been as intimately connected with him as I have I take this opportunity of saying that in the history of Presi- dents. I may say rulers. there has been none who has been more interested in it's progress than President Roosevelt. If the doctors should call for bill of particulars they will find that he has been good. very good, to few of their number--notably General Leon ard Wood and Dr. Rixey. b

of the soul to the human body was SO marked in my own case that I have every necessary evidence that I was member of former persons in the past"
 All very we'll. but not altogether sat- isfactory. We want to know. for ex- ample. who some of those former persons" were and when and how she absorbed them. We should like to know when the Blavatsky soul butted in. and whose place 1t took in the pro- cession. She would hardly claim to have two of 'em at one time. and we should like to have some data as to how and when she passed from one to another. Perhaps she Is wise in hold ing back the names of the former per- sons she has been. Some of their liv- ing relatives might kick up row if told that she was once one of them. We naturally infer or suppose that Mrs. Besant will halt the procession now, if she has the power. Having apSoEDeu the nedu cSHIeE oA thS p4sA- ness she will naturally wish to hold on to it and not allow any one else to corral it. If she can't hold it in any other way she can apply for an | injupction to prevent an interioper from taking Blavatsky from her. Still, if the latter desires to make another jump we don't know howe her present holder is to prevent it.
 Mrs. ,Besant is over here to attend general meeting of the Theosophists of this country, which we believe is now in session at Chicago. No doubt there'll be something doing at the meeting. The true believers will ex- change experiences, perhaps swap souls. and do other things appertaining to their cult. It is idle to wonder or speculate on how such things can be. People believe anything and all things now, and the more absurd, unnatural and impossible it is the more some | people will believe in it. We only hope these Theosophs won't butt into poli- 1 tics.

Wage earners who have been com plaintng of the rise in prices may per haps be consoIed by a careful study of the report of the Bureau of Labor, which shows that wages advanced in 1908 over 1905 a little more than prices did. The Philadelphia Record says; ''Ths increase in wages per hour was more marked than that in weekly wages because men worked fewer hours. In other words, a part of the increase in wages had been sacrificed by not working so long. But the bu- reau thinks that earnings even on the weekly basis increased a little more than the cost of articles of consump- tion." These figures do not apply to men who work on regular salaries. No estimate has been published on this phase of the question.

The validity of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution may reach the United States Supreme Court through the action of the Georgia Railroad Commission. It will be well for the country at large for a decision on this question. and the way proposed in Georgia is the best one that has been suggested. There has always been contention as to whether or not that amendment was ever legally adopted, to say nothing of powers con- tained therein which capable public men have always doubted.

We commend to the careful consid- eration of the Commercial Club and business men of Montgomery the arti- cle to be found on this page of The Advertiser, copied from The Rockford, Coosa County, Argus. It is surpris- ing that the field of operation outlined in that article has been so long neg lected For thirty years or more The Advertiser has at different times been talking about ft. but so far without effect. There is no line of railroad, electric or steam that would do Mont gomery more good than one straight through Elmore and Coosa and on to the Northeast part of the State.

Notwithstanding the great efforts and expenditures of the railroads for more rolling stock there are already indications that there will be much de- lay and trouble iu transporting present crops of the West and South. Much of the blame attaches to those to whom goods are shipped. because of failure to promptly unload, so that cars can be used In their legitimate place, in- stead of becoming for the time being local warehouses.

CLAIM SHANTY
Young Woman Homesteader West
of Pierre Murdered

Pierre, Dec, 3.-A foul murder
was committed early yesterday morn
morning in little prairie house,
about twenty miles south of Fort

SUNDAY THEATRE
CREATES STIR
Local Ministers Up I'm Arms Over
Show

Miller's first Sunday theatre was
put on as matinee at the opera
house Sunday at 3 p. m. and attract
ed a considerable audience.
The Dougherty Stock Co.. Of the
Walker circuit, came to Miller Satur-
day, and presented The Slave Girl
at the opera house Saturday night
under Manager Vocht's control. fol-
lowing it Sunday at 3 p. m. with the
city's first Sunday theatre.
And Sunday night the local preach
ers went after the show and manag-
er from their pulpits, and on Monday
sought legal council in a deter
mination to bring suit against Man
ager Vocht.
The manager says that he had the
consent of city officials, or at leas,
after consulting Mayor and City
Councilmen, was Informed that there
was no law prohibiting the Sunday
theatre.
And that's about all there is to it.
Whether it is advisable, or proper tC
give Sunday shows or not, Manager
| Vocht has infringed upon no law OF
city or state.
As to the merits and demerits OF
shows, Sunday or week day: The
Sunday show should be cut out OF
Miller. There is no call for it, be.
cause the citizens have plenty OF
time and opportunity on week days
and nights to attend shows. And
the lack of time, through stress OF
cork, is the only excuse ever made
| for the poor man to make Sunday
his holiday"
There are shows and shows good
bad, and indifferent, on the road
I each wear, and people who patronize
them take their chances oA getting
the worth of their money. Manag-
er Vocht and the Jackson club have
endeavored to furnish the best class
of entertainments they could get,
but both are disappointed at times
as we'll as their audiences,
Manager Vocht informs the Press
that he will have no more Sunday
shows.

CRAWFORD AFTER SENATE
MARTIN FOR CONGRESS
New Primary Promises Many Candidates
and Lively Contests
Governor Announces Candidacy
Against Senator kittredge
Burke and Martin After Parker
and Hall for Congress

The expected in political circles
occurred Thanksgiving day in the
announcement by Governor Craw-
ford that he would contest with Sem
ator Kittredge at the state primaries
for a seat in the United States Sem
ate.
This brings to a natural climax the
factional differences among republi-
can leaders of the State, between
what are known as the insurgents
and the stalwarts.
The open fight started when Mr.
Crawford sought to be nominated
for governor four years ago. He
had large following in the party
the largest in fact of any candidate.
But the stalwarts, then in control,
with Senator Kittredge at their
head, decreed that Mr. Crawford
could not have the nomination. The
fight continued for two years more,
when Mr. Crawford and his friends
won out and retired all the old stall
warts from office, except Senator
Kittredge, whose term expires in
March 1909.
And now the fight comes on di-
rect between Governor Crawford and
Senator Kittredge, and it promises
to be very lively little party scrap
during the next few months. In
fact the close friends of the two
chiefs are already pulling each
Others hair. and some extra ardent
ones claim that allegience to their
particular favorite will be the test
of mans republicanism,
Governor Crawford, public
speaker of great ability. throws
down the gauntlet to Senator
Kittredge for an open discussion
before the people of the state, and
the Sioux Falls Argus, called Sena-
tor Kittredge's personal organ, inti-
mates that the Senator will give the
Governor run for his money"
Following the Governors def, for
mer congressman Martin announces
his candidacy against congressman
Parker. Former congressman Chas.
Burke announced his candidacy for
congressman Halls place some time
ago.
Some surprise is occasioned by the
announcement of j. H. Carroll of
DeSmet for lieutenant governor.
He is an insurgent, and his candidacy
is taken to mean a turn down for
lieut-gov. Shober. The primary
makes it free for all, and anybody
can get in that wants in.

GOTH CONGRESS
NOW in SESSION
Speaker Cannon Again Chosen IN
the House

Washington, Dec. 2 A brilliant
scene characterized the meeting of
the sixtieth congress today. In the
senate and house there were notable
gatherings in the galleries of repre-
sentatives of the official society.
Coming together for the first time
Of men who had been elected to the
senate and the house, about ane hun
dred of whom have not before sery-
ed in congress, made the occasion
one of particular interest.
The striking scenes of the day
were in the house where the formal
selection of Joseph G. Cannon to
again be speaker, and designation by
democrats of John Sharp Williams
as their leader, were occasions for
ovations for those gentlemen. The
vast hall of the house rang with the
cheers of republicans and democrats
for their leaders, and the speaker
received as warm a reception from
the minority as he did from his own
party
The appearance of William j. Bry-
an on the floor of the house also was
the occasion for enthusiastic cheer
ing by democrats.
When adoption of rules came up.
the rules OF the last congress
were opposed by John Sharp Will
lams and he was joined in the oppos-
ition by democrats and by a single
republican, Cooper, of Wisconsin.
The old rules were declared too au-
tocratic, placing too much power in
the hands of the speaker, but after
a somewhat acrimonious discussion
they were adopted by party vote.
The Presidents Message, contain
some 80, 900 words was read to the
Congress Tuesday. 1t deals with
every topic of national Importance.
A full synopsis of the message is
published elsewhere in this paper.
