The authorities at Washington, as they do every four years, are sending out warnings to Federal officials that they must keep out of politics." That is wasting time and breath that might be put to some good use. In most instances the Federal officials know that the continuance of their jobs de- pends on the election of Taft, and shall a man refrain from all efforts to hold his job? Not if we know hu- man nature. and we rather think we do They may not go around mak- ing speeches. and getting up cam paign funds. but they will get into politics the same, if they are Repub- licans A farmer might as well post a notice on the fence that the pigs must keep their feet out of the swill trough. and it would have as much effect as these orders from Washing ton. Federal officials, like other peo- pie, will look out for their own inter- ests.

As an absorber of the editorials of other newspapers without acknowledg- ment or credit. We believe The To- peka (Kan.) State-Journal Is entitled to wear the button. It can take en- tire editorials from its contemporaries and print them as original without so much as turning a hair. We don't know whether it does this from lack of a sense of fairness or because of inability to write its own editorials, but perhaps both reasons are valid in its own estimation.

Mark Twain has decided to remove from his home in New York City and take up his permanent residence In a quiet little town away up in Connec- ticut. As Mark is now in his 73rd year he probably feels that he may com- mence to grow old some of these days and wants to spend the remainder of his days where life isn't quite so fast. Sensible idea. that Is. and Mark will get off several jokes about 1t.

DEMOCRATS SHOULD
 HELP THE PARTY

HELF ThE FAkSAA zne Advertiser appeals earnestly to } inc Democrats of Alabama to come to the aid of the party's Campaign Fund. This seems to be Democratic year The party is harmonious and well or ganized. But money is needed. The managers of the campaign must look to the rank and file of the party for funds. Other States are responding liberally. Alabama Democrats must not be slow. If every Democrat in the state would give q 1t would help nightly.
 The Advertiser believes the Demo- cracy of Alabama will do It's part. The Advertiser pledges itself to work un- ceasingly to secure the money.
 Let every beat in the State orga- nize. Every white man in every beat should be solicited. Tho Advertiser will receive the money and forward 1t to the National Committee.

Unfair to Mir. Cleveland

It is shown by a posthumous publication that some time before his death ex-Prest- dent Cleveland anticipated the nomination of Mir Taft by the Republican party and his subsequent election. In the light of lat CT knowledge of parties and platforms. had he lived MT Cleveland might possibly have changed his mind. It is hardly fair to the departed statesman to put his in- completed and unpublished work before the public at this time. but the exlEencies of part!sarship know no restraint of stright dealing. either with living men or HaAd ones.

Editor The Montgomery Advertiser:
 Dear Sir-I wish to make this state ment to the public through Your pa per in regard to the article puplisneo on the 10th. In this you misled tne public to believe that l robbed a MT Parker. of Troy. Ala.
 wish to state that had never seen MT. Parker. until he was 1ointed out to me at police court Wednesday eve
 MT, Parker claims he purchased goods from me to the amount Of Slt and that I promised to express them to Troy, Ala. At that time (June le, 1908), did not handle any dress goods or clothes of any kind. and have ney- CT handled the kind of goodS which he claims he purchased. since l have been in business
 MT. Parker also stated on the stand that Mir. Jake Segall was employed by me. as salesmen. and that he. tMr. Segalll. assisted me in waiting upon him. This Is a mistake for MT. SegaiI was never at any time in my employ and was never in my store to my knowledge. In fact, we are not on friendly terms and had never spoken to him in Montgomery until we met in court Wednesday afternoon.
 The case has been appealed and will have witnesses to prove my tnno- cenc4 when the case is called again
 Thanking you very much for print ing my side of the case before the public, Yours very truly. l.. Shinbaum

Alex. Dcrkman There and Several Thousand Policemen on
 Guard.

New York, May 1-As a demonstra- ton, the May day parade and mass meeting of tho Industrial Workers of the World, Socialists, was q Hat fail- ure this afternoon.
 Samuel A. Stoder general organizer of the association, had predicted that more than 10000 mon would be in the line of march, from }utgers Square to Fourteenth street, and that when the speaking began in front of the Everett House, the park would he filled with more than twice that mum ber of protestants against the existing order of things
 This proved not to be the case A scant five hundred men, forming a pitt ful procession in view of what had been predicted, were In line, and when the marchers arrived at their destination, at the north end of the square, the poe licemen, mounted and afoot, under command of Chief Inspector Cortright, so outnumbored those concerned in the demonstration as to result in a situation not far removed from the ridiculous.
 Robert Hunter, scheduled to address the assomblage failed to put in an ap- pearancc, and as the other speakers talked either in Yiddish or German those who could not understand these tongues drlfted out Of the crowd with expressions of disappointment
 When Alexander Bcrkman, head oi the Anarchist Association Of America ascended the speakers stand, which was the top of the park department toolhouse, an atmosphere of excite ment developed. The police, who had been lowering on the outskirts of tho crowd, laughing at It's size and swing. lng their night sticks idly, began to close in.
 Eventually, disgusted by the smal attendance and by the words of Bert. man, with which they did not at al agree, segments of the audience, thell union banners dragging low, worked their way out into the street and thu ' towards the East Side
