A MINIATURE AJAX.

It Is on a small scale, 1t is true, but Theodore Roosevelt seems contin- ually trying to play the role of Ajax defying the lightning. We do not know whether 1t proceeds from lack of prudence, from bravado, from hay ing bats in his belfrys whether it is because he thinks no one will dispute his word. or that he revels in a spat and iS never satisfied unless he has a row on his hands; whether it is some or all of these, but the result Is the same in effect He Is continually making assertions or denials without apparent thought or care whether he is correct or not. Then If his state ments are disputed or denied he flies into a passion and indulges in the most uncalled-for and outrageous de- nunciations of those who dare to diff fer from him. What is most to be regretted is that he seems to lose all sense of decorum or propriety when hS eoEeOSs SS~aolOh kV a4uIm UT Qeny things.
 Can 1t be possible that Mir. Roose- welt has such an exalted opinion of his own greatness that he believes himself both omniscient and infalllble !? He apparently considers it a personal offense for any one to correct him, even though it be done in the most court eous and dignified manner, and flies int of sort of Berserker rage If an- other dares to use towards him the methods he uses in speaking of others These traits of his are to be regret ted--not on his own account, for we care little for Roosevelt the man. but it is really deplorable that he should be so quick to take ofrense and so ready to fly into a passion and indulge in low vituperation and abuse when there is no shadow of excuse or de- fense for it. Officially President of the United States is above all other citizens of the republic. and he should endeavor to conduct himself in a man. ner to comport with his position.

TWO ELECTIONS.

Sometimes one can't always tell how an election is going, or how the peo- pie are going to vote. No-we are not speaking of the Bryan-Taft scram- bIe. but of some municipal elections, and the following from The Hartford courant illustrates the point:
 A man who had hurt AtIanta's civic pride sought her highest municipal ofice this year; Atlanta rejected htnl civic pride sought her highest munici- pal office this year: Springfield has re- elected him. All her daily newspapers without siistinction1 of party politics Sanderson--and let the fact that they did so be remembered to their ever lasting credft---but the influences ar. to be overcome, @ % 1t appears The Springheld preachers enlisted in an extraordinary aggresstvei "no- -hcense campaign this year; tnsy,, H:s too' are
 Now. 1t is hardly to be doubted that Woodward and his adherents felt sure of his election. He had been nomi- mated. at an open primary, and thought the voters would 'ratify his selection. but he slipped up very decidedly. The sobsr second thought of the peo- pie came to help them undo a previous error and the man who had brought shame on the city suffered deserved defeat. And so we suppose that the press and good people of Springfield thought they could defeat the man who had shamed them in some way, but there the people took the bit be- tween their teeth and went ahead and elected him. apparently against the wishes and sentiment of the best ele- nsnts of their city.
 We do not know, as we have seen no particulars, just in what way Sam derson had given offense or dlssatis- faction, but that does not affect or change the fact that he defeated the best sentiment of the people, and so it not infrequently happens in elee- tions, especially in municipal contests. The Courant tells us that "the infiu- ences arrayed in his favor were too powerful to overcome. That's just 1t. Influences are strong factors in cleo tions. whether they be good or bad. and at times there Is no power that can prevail against them. Atlanta certainly set better example than Springfield did in these instances

A STRANGE FEAST.

Some years ago we remember to have read the story of dinner at which bread was made from wheat taken from some of the most ancient ruins of Egypt. One of the guests afterwards remarked that 1t seemed like "snatching a meal from the kneading- -troughs of departing Israel" or something of that import.
 This dinner. however, is cast in the shade by the accounts of a feast re- gently given in St. Petersburg by Pro- lessor Herz. of the Academy of Sciences. The principal item. the piece de resistance" as it was called. was of steaks cut from the body of a hairy mammoth found in Northeast ern Siberia, and which was judged to have been buried in the ice at least twenty thousand years ago. With this novel beef steak" they had bread made of wheat taken from the oldest
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-12-13

chambers of one of the Egyptian py- ramfds. and the food was washed down with wine that had been stored in one of the vaults of the ancient city of Corinth.
 Certainly this was a thoroughly unique meal, enjoyable for that very reason. and yet there was nothing at all improbable about the bill of fare. More than once we have read accounts of the discovery os the remains of the prehistoric mammoth which had been buried in some great Ice fioe or wave, and had thus been preserved during the many centuries which have elapsed since the great animal was entombed in It's frozen matrix. In such cases 1t was stated that when the ice broke away and the body was found the flesh was still fresh and untainted. While we suppose not many would like to partake of such a diet, such a thing is not impossible, and the very strangeness of such food made 1t de- sirable for the devotees of science.
 Nor was there anything impossible about the bread they ate. The an- cient Egyptians had way of not only preserving human bodies so that they remain intact down to the pres- ent time. but they also stored grain so securely that it is not impossible that one might eat bread from wheat stored in the time of Joseph and the Pharhohs and be none the worse for 1t. It would fguratively. if not act ually. be "snatching a meal from the kneading- -troughs of departing Israel"
 The same may be said of the wine served at the feast of the scientists. When the ruins of Hercuianeum and Pompeii were uncovered during the last century there were found bottles or sealed vases containing wine that had lain there for almost twenty cen- turtles. While it is true that the bread and the, wine were not of such remote antiquity as was the meat. they were of a sufficiently ancient flavor to make the meal one of the most unique we have heard of. At the same time 1t was one that cannot often be re- peated.

Tn tomorrow's special municipal election, the proposed bond issue should by all means prevail Mont gomery's present and Montgomery's future demand the improvements that are wrapped up h tie issue of bonds which 'wili be approved or disapproved tomorrow.
 Dependent upon the issue of bonds which vii be voted on is in a large degree the health, the charity the education and the commerce of the city. The proceeds will be used for the Improvement of the public school equipment of the city. the building of a city hospital the extension of the sewerage system, and the building of a new. city wharf. The city of Mont somery could spshd its, money for no worthier purposes.
 No thinking citizen of Montgomery will deny that these Improvements should be made. No thinking citizen would deny that the city needs these improvements in the present end that such need will be more acute in the future. A few we'll meaning men of Montgomery are opposing the needed Improvements on the single ground that they will call for an issue of bonds. s It should be remembered that a gem eral and public spirited policy has made Montgomery one of the most aprosperous cities in the South. The greatest era of growth thRt Mont gomery has ever known has been in the past fifteen years. The progress of the city in the past fifteen years has been remarkable It has one of the finest waterworks system, prob ably the most paved streets of any city of its class in the country. and one of the very best school systems in the entire country.
 These agencies. with the generous policy. that brought them into being and which should be continued has made possible the remarkable growth and development which has attracted the attention of the entire country.
 By the State at large Montgomery today is considered the most desirable of all Alabama cities in which to have home. This sentiment is still grow ing. Montgomery in the future, even more than in the recent past. will be regarded by the remainder of Alabama as the best place for the establishment of home and the rearing of family. It is Montgomery's manifest destiny We should allow no short sighted policy to rise as an obstacle between Montgomery of today and its great future. The people will more and more look to it as the great city of homes.
 If 1t were possible to secure the inn- provements without 2 further issue of bonds The Advertiser would favor it. Bus the issue of bonds is the only way. We must do that or we must put an unnecessary obstacle in the way pf the city's progress.
 By all means we. should support progress and the bond Issue

The Limit Of Hypocrisy.

PtttSburg FoSl. A.,
 Republican newspapers are devoting much space to a discussion of the Solid South in termA anything but compn- mentary for it's solfdity. There IS to these no-throwers an utter assumed or real consciousness of the fact that they are dwelling in glass houses. The South is solid and Is likely to remain 50 for reasons of slf-interest that are yet sufficient to the Southerners. Why should they be any more condemned or rediculed for votinf uniformly one way than Pennsylvanit and the uIl- progressive part Of Ne wEngtand not criticised for uniformly voting the oth- CT? It is the limit of hypocrisy to make flesh of one and hsh 0f tpe oth- err New Hampshire, Vermont and Pennsylvania are sodden In Republic canisrl of its most corrupt type. Here inc public service corporation frankly and fully rules Shall the people who permit and endorse this sort of thing, hugRinR the sordid chains of self-in- terest, be evcused and the South be condemned for standing for something that to them at least appears to be 8 good deal higher and more necessary? There is more hope, progress and pub lie spirit perhaps everywhere in the South than there is in that part of New England that seemingly can al- ways be counted upon to give big Re- publican majorities, no matter what the men or issues may be.

One such was waiting at Mme. Ann's castle at an early hour, just after her fifth quarrel with Boni. She had been up nearly all night and slept late. The beggar waxed impatient. and turning tlerceIy upon the footman: said.
 How long dye suppose she'll be be- fore she comes?

Correspondent Raises His Protest
 Against the Bond Issue. Editor The Advertiser:
 The City Council very unwisely passed an ordinance for the issue of s25O, 900 worth of bonds to be distrlb- erection. it is said, of three school houses in addition to the fourteen houses now occupied by schools; S5O,- 900 for 8 city hospital, which Is not needed at this time; s25,000 to extend sanitary sewerage; $e5.ooo for water city warehouse.
 Now if there be a warehouse owned by any city in this Union for the stop age of goods of any description landed at any wharf, 1 am not aware of it. This city once had valuable wharf but never 8 warehouse. and does not need a warehouse now. Such a build ing will require the creation of anoth- CT officer and increased expenditure of public money and an increase of taxes Our citizens should not forget that already Montgomery owes $2,304. 900, bearing rate of interest of from to 6 per cent per annum. For the fiscal than S160,000. To pay this sum the Aldermen are considering the propriety of imposing a street tax.
 Moreover your correspondent is in- formed that In addition to the $50 900 for the erection of the hospital, 1t will the sum of $15.00U.
 Finally. MT. Editor. the money that may be derived from the sale of the proposed bonds cannot be used to pay the current expenses of the city. It can be spent only for the purposes for which the people endorsed the ordi- nance.
