THE NEXT GUBERNArOKIAL RACE

Z ioAi Tie bdluWln Times.
BY long democratic usage Governor john
ston will soon have measured the cycle of
his official term, and it behooves the press
and people to bring out for public inspec-
ton the entries for theIhext gubernatorial
race in the state of Alabama.
Elections In our state are too frequent;
their frequency is no less a great public
expense than public menace, and it is to
be hoped that a part of the work of the
proposed constitutional convention will be
to give longer terms of office in the matter
of state elections and in a measure relieve
the public from this repeated demand on
the public purse and patience. 1t may then
be that there will no longer remain the
propriety of the custom of two terms In
the governors office-a custom which per-
maps might be more honored in the breech
tnan in the observance.
The Times has been friendly to the adj
ministration of Governor Johnston. True.
we have observed things to criticise, but
these have been largely counterbalanced
by other things We have seen to applaud
Governor Johnston has made mistakes; but
who that ever filled the office of governor
in this or any other state has not? He has
done good, especially in his vigilance over
the back tax and other public revenues 10
which the state is entitled; and while the
public may criticise in other directions it
will applaud linn for this. But it is not
for this purpose that We took up this sub
ject it is not to look backward, but for
ward to Governor Johnstons successor We
have scanned the field, cautiously and crit
ically, and of all the men of distinction in
party service and personal qualifications,
We find John w. Tomiinson, of Jefferson,
a man without fault fear or reproach.
We name him of our own motion as one
eminently worthy, and one who has always
been to his friends and his party
True as the sunfioWer to the sum-

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
It's funny how woman thinks she got
her chilblains by wearing low-neck gown.
man never feels SO queer as when he
hears that the woman who wouldn't marry
him has just been divorced.
One reason why some men don't get mar
ried is because they know they could not
be brutal enough to make successful hus-
bands.
When man fails in business his wife al
ways remembers she warned him something
would happen IL he took off his heavy
socks too early.
The man who fondly carries In his heart
the sweet memory of the girl he loved in
college, but didn't marry, would drop dead
from shock IL he saw her fifteen years
after.

Minimum Rate OF Business Mortality.

The first quarter of 1929, just completed,
shows, according to Bradstreet's, the
smallest number of failures since 1892, while
the volume of liabilities is the smallest
since 1857. Comparison is made with first
quarters in the several years covered by
the records of the Bradstreet agency. The
decrease is very considerable In the quar-
ter Just finished there were 2,7T9; in the
like quarter of 1897 there were 1912, and
in that of 1896 there were Asia. In four
years the number has been decreased near

Here Is an example: els it not

he will exterminate himself, nor
viii he be exterminated by the

out of the question and in fact
idiotic. The second viii not be

never live mp to it. Any attempt
TO exterminate him by race wars
would bring about such an inter-
necine war among the whites them
selves as would pale into insigni6-
canoe the late civil strifei in this
country, both In the destruction of
life and property.
Then there is but one way out of
the apparent race difficulty and
that is for the white citizen to i'm
pose no heavier burden on the
Eegro than on any other national
ity. When he commits a crime
punish him the same as the white
man is punished for the same of
tense. Do not subject him to all
manner of abuse and racial impo-
sitions, and then stand aghsst be-
cause he feebly resents them. In
those communities of this country
where the negro is partially treated
as human, he seems no more crimi-
nally inclined than other nationali-
ties, and beyond numerous petit
offenses, not nearly 30 much so.
Brutalize his nature, as it is done
all over the south, and like the
panther that never leaps as long as
he is watched, and he will at the
first opportunity even put his own
life in jeopardy to avenge those
repeated wrongs. When northern
people learn that the negro is
neither granted nor guaranteed the
free and independent speech char
acteristic of the United States
throughout the south no more so
today than in ante-bellum days,
and that every white man in the
south stands ready to lynch an
"impudent niger" who dares dis
pute a white mans word, some
idea of what those people really
have to undergo can be formed.

ored man In the south 10 not q |
hundredth part as good as that
accorded to Cinnamon throughout

where he can not stay over night. |
Ii he be inferior, treat him kindly, |
