A PLACE FOR HIM.

The Pittsburg Post thinks 1t has found the right place for Mr. Roosevelt. for whom. by the way, 1t has little lilx- ing and not large share of respect It argues that there is no need to think of him as Senator. college president or magazine editor. and proceeds to place him thusly:
 Throughout his stay In washington MT. Roosevelt has totally forsaken that poise which the American people have every move has been studied with q view to catch the eye With an over weenfng desire for popularity. he has appealed through sensa tionalisn. The stage. Such a display of maudlin egot- ism as that in which 6 troop of chair warmers. under his leadership. become rivals to the monkey leaves no other course open.
 We have heard great deal of dis cussion about what we shall do with our ex-Presidents. and as Roosevelt will be the only one the country will have. and as there are people who look on him as the greatest man who ever came down the pike, there has been more than usual talk about his future. Many suggestions have been advanced as to his hereafter, but that of The Post at least has the merit of originality. We suspect that Teddy would be a de- cided success on the vaudeville stage.

HOLDING THE LINE AT DoTHAN

Now that the tumult and the shout ing has died away his friends of the Alabama press can extend the congrat- ulatory hand to Editor W. T. Hall, of The Dothan Eagle for the way in which he kept the faith and fought the fight in his own bailiwick. Editor Hall found that there were a few chicken hearted Democrats in Houston county who were flirting with Republicanism and he went after them. They came back in an impertenent way and he went after them all the harder.
 Editor Hall revealed a condition in Houston county. which no doubt exist ed in other sections of the State, but

 Tax on Luxuries. New York Dispatch to The Philadelphia
 Press
 Announcement that Andrew Carnegie will publish his views on the tariff question and volunteer his services as a champion of tariff for revenue only, instead of a tariff for protection, has been received with in- terest by revislonists. Mir Carnegie has prepared for a magazine a historical review of the subject. and includes an expression of his personal views.
 While advocating a tariff for revenue only. Mr. Carnegie will favor 'the strict maintenance of the present duties upon foreign luxuries paid by the rich.'
 He also will say that, "the present tariff rightfully exempts the masses of the people from almost all national taxation. because they have not the ability to pay as re- quired by Adam Smith, the greatest econ mic authority"
 A prominent Wall street banker said facetiously today that should tariff revision Include a reduction of the duty on steel rails, and consequently diminish the earn Inos of the United States Steel Corpora lion. Mir. Carnegie would not suffer finan- ciaIIv by advocating revision. as would many thousands of other persons, MT Carnegie Is credited with owning about $SoO,oOoOO of guaranteed bonds. but no stock In the steel trust

The Way of 2 Prise Beauty.

NeW 1OTk WOrlds
 A young woman with a s1O.000 prize views on beauty culture have become at once important. q eat four times 8 day" says this new Venus, 'and every day walk about four miles. I eat. what pleases me. drink only light wines and champagne and limit my self 10 half a pack of cigarettes a day" F
 If there is any mistake about this regimen the lady has time to find 1t out She Is only 24 years old and weighs only 145 pounds as yet.
 Ten years of physical culture, so 1t is advertised, have produced this model in feminine symmetry. There is mem tion of dumbbells, hygienic corsets and perhaps for the warning of Vassar's record breaking athletic girls, an avoidance of strenuous outdoor sports. Yet the striking feature in this case of perfect development appears to be the abse2ce of hard-and-fast rules.
 There are those who tell us that our grandmoLhers took no physical culture unconsciously without thinking of it's inches in the course of their house. wifely days. For the Indian clubs they had the broom; in place Of the set ting-up'' exercise they stopped to the clothes basket below and reached to the line above: instead of practicing high kicking they rode the baby to Banbury Cross on an outstretched foot. Evidently our newly arrived model does not owe her curves to domestic employments. We are tempted, how ever, by her free-and -easy account of her course in culture to suspect that really her proportions grow upon her and that sue merely imagines she has been in training.

 Don't be ripper. Are you determined to be beast of burden?
 An oppressive religion Is never more than skin deep. Dread only the self-made hell. There Is none other. Any man is pious enough to be pro- lessor of religion.  Through the ceaseless ages. the cry has been: God give us men!"  The opinion of the majority is al- ways the best thought of the race.

independent voting was a conspicu- one feature of the recent election. This is shown by the election of Democratic Governors in States which voted for raft for President. and the tremendous votes cast against Republican nomi- nees in Illinois Wisconsin. Michigan and other Western States.
 The Detroit Free Press. which sup ported Taft, did its best to defeat Gov ernor Warner, Republican. both In the primaries and at the election, or to use its own words. "has tried to club from office the gang which has exploited the resources of State and party for its own benefit during the past four years" now points to Warmers small plurali- ties as an indication that the people of Michigan saw the point.

 The Times Dispatch finds serious and lasting disappointment in MT. Bryan's failure to declare, in his eagerly await cd statement, that he will never again be a candidate for the Presidency In the hour of his third decisive defeat. in each of which his own personality has been inextricably involved with the country's rejection of his party at the polls, he should have felt this resolve mount irresistibly within him and he should have expressed 1t instantly and irrevocably. His avoidance of any such assertion can hardly be dismissed as accidental. On the contrary. 1t seems to strike downward into the very roots of character. It inevitably suggests that he, the defeated candidate, would be willing to have his party once more attach sII its hopes to him in 1912. and lends color to the charge of his oppo- nents that personal ambition, and neither party victory nor the public good Is the mainspTtns of MT. Bryan's being.

 Paris Hotel.
 Parfx Nov. 15.--'His Serene High ness the Prince of Mongrelia." called at a hotel near the opera a few days ago. and selected the finest apartment suite. and all his luggage consisted of that the suite and the luggage would come with ''her Serene Highness the Princess of Mongrelia." whose intnes diate arrival in Paris was expected.
 The hotel keeper searched the maps and dictionaries to find in what part of the earth 'Mongrelia" was situated, but in vain, This made him suspi- cious.
 Meanwhile. the Prince whose man ners and appearance were studiously artstocratic, strolled into one of the finest 1ewelry shops in Paris and se- lected about $100.000 worth of Jewels to be delivered at the hotel for the Princess"
 The ieweler. luckily for himself first inquired at the hotel before he left the~~valuables, with the result that the bogus prince was summoned to the police station to explain. He was ur- able to make good his pretensions, and d short investigation by the police re- vealed the fact that he had already oc- cupied sumptuous apartments in Paris hotels under yfaneiful names. such as "Marquis de Masuvages and. 'sComte de Chantenay." and had left without pay ing his bills.
 He is said to be a medical doctor with a Swiss diploma. and has taken to a life of adventure for the want of a practice.

Pine Belt News.
 The amendment to the constitution providing for new counties was defeat cd by small majority. However, just the claims of Bessemer were for d new county. the majority of the voters de- cided that they did not need the amendment. Constitutional amendments are somehow hard to carry in this State and Florida. Probably the peo pie think that the constitution is good enough and does not need any tink- ering with. Bessemsr can, however, present her claims for the formation of Pettus county before the next Legisla- ture. but the legislators are not sched- uled to meet again until 1911. which is a pretty long wait. but Bessemer can no doubt wait that long. when she will, we hope. have better luck.

An EngIIsh VIew.
Economist.

London Economist ,,
 There Is one aspect of the presiden- tial contest in which we feel very deep interest, and that is the revision of the tariff, to which both parties are Incoming more and more pledged. At first the Republican policy seemed to he that the prtsent high tarir must be perpetuated in the interests of the American workman's wages and those of his competitors. The American hand, 1t is said, receives more than the EnElishman, because the tariff protects him from the free competition of Eng fish goods :and If the tariff fell the wages would fall in proportion. The absurdity of this is manifest from sev. eral considerations, but 1t will be enough to mention two or three. One is that the wages of the English work men are very much higher than those of any important protectionist coun- try with the single exception of the United States. If the protectiontst tar- if possesses the virtue ascrlbed to 1t, why does 1t not produce similar eff fleets In Germany. France, Austria and Russia. all of which have large manu- featuring industries with a highly pro- teeted home Tparketf

 Yet in all these countries the wagea of the working classes are much lower than in England. Another objection to this theory is that the same compara- tive superiority of wages was possess ed when much lower tariffs were cur. rent in the United States, and, further, the great majority of American labor CTS are employed in agriculture, 1um- Der and other employmepts, which gain no advantages from the protective tar- m, while they reap all the disadvan- tages of exorbitanf prices for clothing and many other necessaries. As matter of fact, however. the Republic can politicians are already abandoning this theory. for they lind that Ae de- mand for a reduction in the cost of living. and. consequently, for revision of the tariff in the interests of con sumers. Is far stronger than they at first calculated.

Text Book on Good Roads.

GTeenSOOEO bedCOn.
 We do not know that there is text book in existence on the subject of good roads. but if there is not, some person should write one. and then have our legislature enact a law making 1t obligatory that the book be taught in every public school in the State. Edu- cate the rising generation up to the necessity and value of good public highways while young, and when they are grown and take the places of those who are now in charge of the affairs of government-and thls they will do within the next twenty-five years-they will not forget the lessons taught them at school about public roads. It Is obligatory that agriculture be taught in the schools. A chapter or two on good roads might be appended to this book. The result of such instruction would manifest itself in the after years throughout. the length and breadth of the land in the form of well-built, ex- ,ceHent highways. We believe this to be a good suggestion. and one that con- tains a sound idea for the solution of the much vexed and much agitated question of good roads. The present generation Is not manifesting as much interest in the subject as 1t should
 The growth of the prohibition sentl- ment in the United States Is the result of a plan sarted twenty or more years ago of teaching the young people the evil effects of whiskey.
