The attempted assassination OF
of Colonel Roosevelt, by crazy
man in Milwaukee last Monday is
an act deplorable, and meets with
the condemnation Of all right
minded people. The would-be
assassin ranks with Guiteau,
Colzost, and other miserable men
of history, who from a distorted
brain, have thought to aid society
and improve social conditions by
the assassination of public men.
Men Of all shades of citizenship
and political faith sincerely de-
plore the shooting Of Monday and
hope no serious results will follow.

Zapatistas Are Dangerous

New Orleans September 4.-Cnless stronger measures are adopted by Presi- dent Madero of Mexico to put down the Zapataistas. the rebel bandits who have terrorized the southern part of the repup- lie for more than one year Mil pc at the gates of Mexico City in less than six months, according to J. c. Long of Mex ico who arrived here Monday evening from the Mexican capital en route to Louisville.
 When left Mexico City. four days ago Zapata was concentrating large part of his forces around Cuernavaca and the inhabitants of that city were almost in panic" MT. Long said. An attack on Cuernavaca may take place any time, and it is sure to be a bloody fight. The government has 8 considerable number of soldiers in the Quartes in Cuernavaca but Zapata has always had an ambition to take that place. Unless he Is soon crushed he will take 1t and then his march on Mexico may be expected
 ''The secret police of Mexico have dis covered plot on the part of he Zapatis- tas to attack the city on September 10, which is the anniversary of Mexican in dependence and when the greatest cele- bration of the year takes place. A large number of arrests have been made, and it is believed that now since their plans are known to the government nothing more will come of 1t.

ADJUSTMENTS
"The Balkan Princess"

Merry and tuneful, "The Balkan Prin- cess" was given a cordial reception a the Jefferson theatre last night, open ing the theatrical season of 1912-l3 in a most suspicious manner. The piece is a charming operetta. with rather pretty little love story involved and is musically delightful. Dear, Delightful Women" has an air that deserves to be remembered. The song is the jewel of the opera, although the entire score is written in a style much above the average musical comedy product.
 Of course, there was the usual haunting waltz and, as matter of fact, the sort of comic opera environ ment we have grown accustomed to, but in spite of the fact that there is nothing startlingly new in its gen. eral makeup. "The Balkan Princess" proved to be very enjoyable, even on a hot night. The poor chorus men. who were rigid in gorgeous uniforms and tiger skins, must have suffered ex- tremely.
 The Princess Stephanie of Balaria- wherever that is-must wed within a specified time or renounce her throne. Forthwith, by royal edict certain pros- pective candidates for her hand arc summoned to the palace. One of the noblemen summoned is none other than the Grand Duke Sergius, hero of countless love affairs and frequenter of gay cafes. The duke proves recaici- trent and refuses to appear Quite nat urally. the curiosity of the fair princess is aroused and by means Of mock engagement. the terms of which re- quire her to see little of life, she goes in quest of the stubborn duke. He is found in the Bohemian restau- rant, quite giddy place. There the princess as a stranger to the fascinat- ing duke and the duke equally un- known to her, fall desperately In love with each other. There are some slight complications when identities are made known and the princess even goes so far as to imprison the duke in her OWL

 "Office of the Attorney General.
 Montgomery, Ala, July 16. 1868. "Maj. Gen. George G. Meade, Command
 ing Third Military District
 "General--1n an order issued from the headuuarters of the Third military district at Atlanta, Ga, on the 14th inst it is stated that Alabama has complied with the requirements of an act of Congress, entitling her and oth- CT states to representation in the fed eral legislature: and upon such com pliance, the act also provides Tor the immediate inauguration of the officers elected under the constitution or the state In furtherance of this purpose, your order has been published. Its first paragraph Is in these words, VIZ: It is therefore ordered that all civil of ficers holding office in the state, wheth- CT by military appointment or by fail ure to have successors qualified, shall promptly yield their offices and turn over to their properly qualified sue cessors all public property. archives books, records, etc, belonging to the same.
 Against this order I protest, for If Alabama is entitled to representation in the Congress of the United States. 1t Is because she is a member Of the union. Now every member of the union has certain reserved rights. Among them is the right to ordain and es- tablish a constitution for itself; to en- act laws for its domestic government; to create offices; to appoint persons to discharge the duties pertaining to them and to do any act conducive to its internal welfare which does not conflict with its own or the federal constitution.
