Date for that position.
The word progressive" is probably
evolved from the fact that this sect of
politicalNbelievers feel that the party is
big enough in Alabama for two candi-
dates.

Selma, August 29.-(Special)-Th big
trunk sewer across the northern part oil
Selma will be completed and turned over
to the city authorities within the next
! few days.
The sewer was built at cost of some
thing like $17,500 and redeems from a
disease breeding and disease creating Sec
ton of Selma a large area. This prop
erty is rapidly being built up with choice
homes for some of the best people OF
| the city. The establishment of the Selma
| Military institute at the corner of Broad
street and First avenue was perhaps the
beginning of the reclamation of the
northern part of the city for residence
purpose The construction and compile
ton of the sewer across the northern part
of the city makes the reclamation certain
and insures the rapid building up of the
northern part of the city, including Park
Place through which graded streets,
curved sidewalks and concrete walks
have already been laid
During the past week the sewer was
thoroughly inspected by city officials and
members of the board OF trustees of the
Selma Military institute and other citi-
zens The main trunk of the sewer,
which is over IL inches in diameter, ex-
tends from Valley creek up TO the Selma
university, a negro college on Maple
street. then up Minter street to Broad
street.
There are five laterals One on Craig
street from the railroad to First avenue;
one on Broad street from the railroad to
a point near Elkdale park; one from
Broad street on First avenue east OF
Franklin street; one from Broad street
on Minter street to Franklin street These
miles of pipe equipped with flush tanks
and arranged according to the latest in
vestigations of sanitary experts, will give
the entire portion of Tie city north of
Broad street and between Franklin street
and Valley creek perfect sanitary sewer
age and will do much TO abate the pres
ence of typhoid and other maladies.
The browning feat OF the project Is the
septic tank located on the bank of Val
lev creek after passing through which the
water impregnated with sewerage of the
city becomes purified anG robbed of any
menace to the health of the remainder of
the city through which it flows to the
Alabama river. The tank is constructed
of cement and is alright.
The city will soon accept the sewer.
It's completion and acceptance assures
the rapid growth of the northern part
of Selma, which is the most beautiful
part of the city.

NEXT NOVEMBER.

The size of the Democratic victory
that Will be announced on the morning
OF Nov. next will be staggering. Ii
will include an overwhelming major
ity in the House OF Representatives
and gain OF many United States SEN
ators. Ohio, the presidents own state
will be lost 10 the Republicans. New
York, the state OF the ex-president
will be sweepingly Democratic. Ma
jorities will be so large that people
will tire OF computing them.
Not through Democratic virtues and
abilities but In spite OF Democratic
blunders anu weaknesses are those
things TO come about; not because
there are more Democrats than Re-
publicans, but because there are more
American progressives than stand
patters; not rs a rebuke of this man
rejection Of one policy, but as a
condemnation Of many men; not as q
rejection OF one policy, but as as a
reputation OF many policies; not as
an evidence OF momentary Indignation
but as voicing the demand OF a great
and free people for light, for truth, for
justice, for economy, for peace!
What are these bitter Republican
quarrels but attempts in advance to
ercape the judgment which all know
Is at hand? There is a mad rush for
safety. Responsible men are posing as
irresponsibles. Old offenders mas
querade as innocents. Sacrifices are
offered up in the hope that the popu-
lar wrath may be appeased. There is
talk even OF third term in the White
House for the vociferous and lawless
person under whom Cannon and Aid
rich and Payne and Sherman and Dial
cell got their strange grip on party
and country.
In spite of all this there will be no
mistake about that which is to take
place in November. IL is to be more
a Republican defeat than Democratic
victory; more a popular uprising
against plutocracy and privilege than
a party revival; more matured YER
diet on Rooseveltism than upon Re-
publicanism; more a rebuke OF Taft
as proxy than OF Taft as president:
more an expression OF hope In Democ-
racy than OF faith in Democracy.
