Before Judge Taft was nominated 1t was plainly intimated that the "bus- mess interests" of the East looked on him with doubt and suspicion. appar- ently thinking those interests would suffer if he became President. On the other hand the Roosevelt adher- ents, which also meant the Taft men, were loud in their assurances that Taft was all right, and 1t seems that they knew what they were talking about The Baltimore American is a loyal and robust Republican paper. and to 1t everything looks bright and rosy. "Everything is shaping up beautifully" it says. the business men of the me tropolis-the inanciers and the men of wide affairs generally-are taking to MT. Taft as their salvation"
 So it appears plain that Iste- -thlokko.

He @has made himself solid with the business interests of the East" as The Pitts burg Post says, but the question nat uraily ariss. How did he do itr' An, that is the query that will occur to many. but we are not so sure that the answer will be forthcoming. As the homely old adage has it. there are more ways of killing dog than by choking him with butter" ana our Republican friends have ways of their own of allaying the fears of any who have had doubts The tariff rcvis,on- ists and the standpatters appear to the outsider to be working on different lines. but the big corporations have nothing to fear from either side. Those who really believe in such change as will be for the betterment of condi. tions affecting the great body of the American people should work for tho success of the Democratic ticket. In that way and no other can such d change be brought about. Taft Is ali right with the moneyed interests. but how did he do 1t?

MIST THE OPPOSITE.

The Lineville Headlight. referring to the recent action of the Text Book Commission in making an almost en- tire change of books to be used in the public schools says:
 It is our information that Governor Conner favored the retention of a large number of the old adoption thereby saving the greater part of this expen- allure to the parents of the State. It was the school teachers on the Text Book Commission who favored whole sale changes in the school books.
 People who are fairly we'll informed on this subject have a very different idea to that of The Headlight. While giving due credit to the majority Of the Board. We are led to believe that if Governor Conner had been opposed to the wholesale change 1t would not have been made. The minority fought strenuously against the extensive changes and if any member of the Board wishes space in which to say that the Governor favored the policy suggested by The Headlight, the col umns of The Advertiser are offered for publication of what he may wish to say.

nRAsGrNa roo SOON.

Was 1t not in the nature of a pleas ant surprise to MT. Taft to be inform- ed that he had actually been nominat- ed for President of the United states9 Probably he had suspected 1t for some weeks. but to be officially told of it removed all doubt from his mind. and now he is sure that he is the real thing. Somehow or other he failed to say 'srhis is SO sudden" but perhaps he didn't think of 1t. And that re- minds us that our good Republican contemporary. The Kansas City Jour nal. is disposed to be facetiously sar- castle when speaking of how MT. Taft probably felt when the news was broken to him. After telling about the Taft part of 1t. The Journal adds:
 Mir. Taft can share in anticipation MT. Bryan after the dog tks days isI are over Imagine that good mans joyous con- fusion when the Democratic Party so- called tells him and doesn't care who lead the Democracy to defeat. MT. Bryan probably can't imagine for the life of him how the Democrats happened to pick minor pick on" him--lfving the simple and unobstrusive bucolfc life and taking so little interest or part in the degenerate game of modern politics. But Mir. Bryan knows one and that is that if anybody is quaiified il lead the Democratic party to defeat. sit's him"
 Let not the K. c. contemporary feel too cocksure that Mir. Bryan is going to lead the Democratic Party to de- feat. The Bible has something to the effect that the man who is taking his armor off is the one who should boast, not the one who Is just putting it on. and the advice is good. The Repub- lican Party Is just putting on its ar nor for the great battle and shouldn't get too boastful. Sometimes politi- cal results are quite different from what is predicted or expected and who knows but that the confident and boastful Republicans are riding to a fall? After the election is over and they have landed their man they can brag and taunt as much as they please and we will try to bear it with as much equanimity as we may.

 The Advertiser calls attention to the able letter in today's Advertiser of Mir. W. E. sistrunk as one of the most important articles published in Ala bama paper for many months. deal- ing as it does with the "wiiliamson Corn Method" which many thoughtful farmers believe will revolutionize corn growing in Alabama.
 Mir. sfstrunk Is one of the most suc- cessfui farmers in Middle Alabama. He has been alert in watching for new ideas. to increase the yield from his land and he has been energetic in put ting them into use. As a result get ter. Mir. sisstrunk has been widely known in Middle Alabama for num- ber of years, His endorsement alone of the Williamson plan should be enough to commend 1t to the farmers of Alabama.
 To the we'll informed farmer, the williamson Corn. Method" is nothing new. Prboably every agricultural journal in the South has printed an article about 1t. It has been twice published in The Advertiser. once with cuts and diasramss,
 A special value attaches to the Iet- ter of Mir. sistrunk because 1t pre- aank, 4h i. ...,.fk,. .e sa |. =. Al. z s ..h |. :. put to the test in an exceptionally dry season. A great handicap to corn growing in Alabama are the occasion5 al seasons of drouth when the corn Is young. There was such spell this summer and farmers generally feared for,the corn crop. As matter of fact, they say that the corn on the uplands was in many instances practically ruined by the long drouth. Mir. sis- trunk tells of the williamson method under this severe test. He cites not one but several fields where the method was tried ana where the crop. notwithstanding the srouth. is sxcep- tionaf, ataasT 5as rfas nif
 Mir. slstrlnk is not alone in his en- dorsement of the method. It has been used many times ana many times prac- tical farmers. who were soeptical about 1t at first have come forward to praise 1t. Taking at their face value the commentators passed upon the meth cd by practical farmers vho have tried 1t, the "wiliiamson Corn Method" is one of the greatest agricultural move ments inaugurated in Alabama in re- cent years. 1
 If the words of those who have tried 1t are to be believed. and there is no reason to doubt them, the williamson Corn Method will reyolutionize corn growing in Alabama. and the Alabama farmer will be freed from his depend ence upon Western corn cribs. No greater day could dawn for the Ala bama farmer than that day on which the last and final load of Western corn Is hauled from town to the country.

We have been looking for it now for several days. and The Buffalo News hands 1t out in just the shape we ex- pected It tells us. with all the pos itiyity of a man who believes what he says. that ''the Bryan party is panic stricken. Does not that seem like meeting an old acauaintancs1 The Republicans have. or should have, a copyright on the expression. lest some other party takes 1t away from them. It sounds good to them and we may expect to find it doing duty in all the Taft newspapers till the campaign is over. Let them roll it under their tongues as a sweet morsei. for no sensible Democrat is going to be dis- couraged by 1t.

New York World.
 The chief function of the next Ad, ministration, says Mir. Taft, will be to elinch what has been done by Mr. Roosevelt.
 If Mir Roosevelt had accomplished wise reforms, if he had enforced the laws against great offenders. if he had assailed privilege anywhere with success, if he had refratned from stir ring up class prejudice and jineoisrn, If he had not by violent bspeech put a fl he had not by violent speech put 6 blight upon business and industry, and if he had not encouraged extravagence and waste. the sentence above quoted, which accentuates the strongest and the weakest chapter in the candidates speech, might pass unnoticed. It is to be considered, however, as the central thought in an elaborate eulogy of Mir. Roosevelt. By it's own terms it Is to be interpreted as Mir. Taft's most sweeping promise as to himself, Unhappily 1t is his most comprehensive view of the duties and responsibilities of the Presidency.

Possibly MT. Bryan may be the stronger among the more moderate elements by reason of the advanced radical defection represented by the parties; but the Hearst ticket must be reckoned with for all that, It mat tArs little whether it's candidntes get votes in Maine, New Hampshire, Yer mont or Florida. But if 1t proves to be a halfway house for large numbers of dissatisfied voters in New York. Ohio India na. Illinois and California. who are disgusted with both Mir. Bryan and Mir.

The announcement from Washington that the Government is going to build airships ought, if the statement is true, to relieve Mir. Roosevelt and the other jingoes for a spell. It will be a. novelty and if the President can't get Congress to build big battleships perhaps he can persuade it to expend some millions on airships.
