It is practically impossible for any
one who has not been in San Francisco
recently to comprehend thu wonderful
recovery of the city. On every hand
are evidences of active business and
prosperity. In our drive along the wa

as they exist in New York, and we
firmly believe that San Francisco is as

as is New York to the Atlantic
coast. In regard to the issue

compare San Francisco with other
large cities, the bonds look fully as

we are figuring on offering the bonds

On the strength Of this re-

MONDAY, sEpTEMBER P, 1909.

Theodore Roosevelt afforded a rather conclusive demonstration of what could--or rather could not--be done It was very much of Q failure. The trusts were pursued cowboy fashion, but the roping and branding was not particularly successful. In Mir. Taft we have a President who is rather more inclined to apply the law according to the law He asked yesterday in his address in Des Moines for additional weapons to be used against law-defy- lng corporations and railroads. II IS not an original plan. this that he form ulates although it has never been test ed Consequently, there would appear T to be no urgent reason why 1t should not be put to the test. Let us see what can be accomplished under q Judicial administration to provide relief rom corporate i1ls.-Pittsburg Post.
 We have no information as to who is to supply those additional weap- ons" asked for. but we shall have to see some results before we can feel much hope from anything MT. Taft may do In the matter. MT. Roosevelt made such a dismal failure after all his brag and buster, that the country will not bank very heavily on what his sue cessor may do in the way of octopus hunting.

NARROW AND uNCHRlsTIAN

few days ago The Advertiser pub lished letter written by the venerable Rev. B. H. ,Crumpton of BellevilIe, Ala. If we mistake not. he has been an hon. ored Baptist minister for over forty years. In a comment on that let ter. The Advertiser commended it for It's spirit of true Christian tolerance, although we stated that from its gen eral tone 1t was evident the writer would support the amendment Here is the unchristian intolerant way in which one of the leading lights of the amenders. The Ozark Tribune, reviles that good and pure man:
 A certain Dr. Crumpton wrote a let which he stated that he had not yet committed himself on the constitu- tional amendment. This was no doubt done by The Advertiser to mislead this Is the same pr. Crumpton who Is the great temperance leader at the head of the Anti-Saloon League. The pr. Crumpton who Is writing for The who is President of the Anti-saioon League. but another pr. Crumpton, who is in league with the saloon. The reader can best identify The Adver- tiser's Dr. Crumpton by the following story: "A court ohicial in Missouri writes that in the mountainous dis trict of that State. tall, gaunt speci- men of the mountaineer, whose Chris tian name was Joshua, was recently ar- rested In the criminal branch of the Federal Court. on charge of illicit distilling.

sLANDEROUs STATEMENTS.

The Jasper Eagle contains tnIs para graph:
 The opposition boasts of four ex- Governors It is natural for those four were elected when the saloon ele- ment bodily controlled Alabama poli- tics, and gratitude, to say nothing or future political hopes. would cause these four distinguished citizens to es- pouse the cause of their old friends. We are surprised that as old a paper as The Eagle should give circulation to such a statement. Beginning with Governor Rufus W. Cobb. in 1878, and continuing through the administration of Governor Jelks. there was a con- tinuous elimination of the territory in which liquor was sold in Alabama un- til at the beginning of Corners admin | istration S5 per cent was already un- der prohibition law. This all came through the approving action of the Governors thus slandered by The Eagle and others of it's persuasion. It was done by the local option of the com munities interested and no county, beat. or town prohibition law from 1878 to Jan. 15. 1907. ever received Ex- ecutive veto. That certainly negatives the idea that liquor interests con- trolled Alabamas Governors.
 We had absolute peace on the liquor question until lot of agitators during this administration stirred up all this strife and turmoil. There were not four counties in the State in which there was mot partial prohibition and | in nearly all of them 1t was absolute | in Montgomery, except within the po- lice Jurisdiction of this city. It was so in Dallas County. except in the city of Selma.
 The Advertisers report of a speech of Rev. Brooks Lawrence in Opelika was furnished by one of Lee County's best citizens, but it's correctness was denied by a number of most excellent gentlemen. and We gave full space to their denlal. NOHe or Lheih ever stateu what MT. Lawrence did say. but one of the newspapers. which stands for that side of the question, makes this refer enee to that Opelika speech:
 In the course of his splendid pre- sentatIon of the side of the question for which he spoke. Rev Mir. Lawrence did say that the Montgomery anti amendment meeting had made much of the presence of two or three ex-Gov- ernors and had pushed them into prom thence in the convention. He called or their respective elections to the positions they had occupied in the past. prohibition was in no, sense a Statewide issue, and that in those days Alabama was largely under the dom nation of the whiskey interests politi- 1 cally."
 No man at all acquainted with af- fairs in Alabama would seriously say that liquor interests dominated or cut any controlling figure in the elections of any of the Governors who were elected prior to Conner. and none of the men to whom Mir. Lawrence re- ferred was under such obligation for | their elections,

Doing the Church Harm. puaaail RAUiRtaY


 Suppose there should be a union oi church and state; whose church would it be?

The re- suit would be that there would be such a revolution and bloodshed as has never before been known in the history ol our government. nor perhaps in the
