DOGS.

The Richmond, Va, Times in
speaking of dogs in that city says:
Rome howled, so | have heard,
but in competition with a genuine
Richmond stray on the full OF the
moon Rome would certainly have
to $50 way back and sit down."
And in competition with strays
and other kinds in Southern Pines
on full or empty moon, Rome
would have to 60 so far back that
she would not be able to "sit down"
By the way, in speaking of dogs
wouldn't it be interesting to know
how many street roamers there are
in this town with no one enough
interested in them to pay the tax?
The Times says there are in
Richmond, lO,OOO stray dogs WIN
out home, habitation or owner, and
wear no metal badge and pay no
poll tax. They clearly should
have no voice in the city affairs,
but they clearly do, and nightly
raise their voice in inharmony.
They should be utterly disfran-
chised, or else pay their poll taxes.
An educational qualification might
be good thing in it's way, too.

Showing Its Hand.

Birmingham Age Herald.
 The Age-,Herald has all the informa- tion and manners it needs. In the latter respect 1t is fully abreast the esteemed Montgomery Advertiser at any rate.
 The Age Herald judges the Conven- tion tree by its fruits. It has cut down the States revenue from which a State school tax could be derived; It's Committee on Taxation proposes a county school tax that Is as empty as the wind. and 1t refuses to let each community have the schools they are willing to pay for. These acts. &C., complished or intended, justify any one in declaring the Convention an anti school body. although the Democratic Party stands pledged to give the State better schools.
 All Alabama knows that the anti school sentiment of the State has It's chief seat in the Black Belt. The Black Belt will not deny the impeachment. The rest of the State wants as a rule better schools, although some of the other counties are not properly repre- sented as to this question. The Ad- vertiser knows full well that the heart of the opposition to public schools comes from the Black Belt. Every man who knows the Convention knows this at any rate. The evidence that the esteemed Advertiser calls for can be readily gathered in Montgomery | and a good part of it will be found in | The Advertisers office itself.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-07-09

Some days ago The Advertiser had a few words to say about the lack of information displayed by The Birming- ham Age-Herald in charging that the black belt was opposed to education. and its lack of manners in saying that a black belt clique" controlled the Convention. Its answer appears on this page of The Advertiser. and the blindest can see how completely 1t seeks to shift its position. It now charges the Convention with cutting down the States revenue from which a State school tax could be derived" The strongest opponents of that mea- sure were from black belt counties and Its most earnest advocates from white counties. including some of its own county delegation. The Advertiser per- sietently fought the reduction. The black belt is not responsible for the reduction of the tax limit. for the vote in favor of making the reduction was more than two to one. The Age Herald has still failed to furnish any evidence of the correctness of its state- ments that "a black belt clique controls the Convention"

WOULD BE POPULAR.
The Anti-Free Pass Provision Would
 Strengthen the Constitution.

The Anti-Free Pass Provision Would
 Strengthen the Constitution.
 The Birmingham Age-Herald's Con- vention correspondence has this to say
 about the orticial free-pass question be-
 fore that body:
 One Of the most important subjects
 that has been brought to the attention
 of the Convention is that of free passes.
 The present Constitution contains a
 provision on that subject. but it is a
 dead letter. and no attempt has ever been made by the General Assem- ply to execute the mandate imposed upon 1t in that respect. Hon. Leslie E. Brooks of Mobile, on the first day of the submission of ordinances to. the Convention introduced a very compre- hensive one designed to prohibit the giving of free passes to, or the accept ance of the same by the officers Of the State. MT. Brooks believes that the usa of free passes by members of the leg | islature and judicial departments of tn: | State government Is not promottve oi | the public interests, and ought there | fore to be prohibited by a Constitu- | tional provision that shall be seif-exe- | cuting He points to the fact that the | Constitutions of the States of New York, Arkansas, California. Kentucky
 Mississippi. Missouri. Washington and perhaps others contain prohibitory pro- visions on the subject. That of Wash | inKton is embraced in two provisions in | two separate articles. one designed to operate on the railroad transportation company giving free passes and the other on the State officers accepting the
 same. The New York provision, how ever, is the most thorough and com
 .prehensive, and is self-enforcing, and II 'i is upon this that MT. Brookss ordi-
 nance is based.
 The New York ordinance which was l adopted in 1895, Is said to have proved
 very successful in suppressing an tvi | that must inevitably result in scan | dal if not checked in time. Mir. Brook; | is of the opinion that most of the rail road companies operating in the State ] would welcome a constitutional restric
 tion that will restrict. for they would | thus be rid of importunities thai
 amount to practical compulsion for the
 issuance of passes to legislators, judge:
 and other State officers for themselves l their families or their friends. and ir | the long run would doubtless make | money by such a prohibition as would | enforce obedience of it's provisions. II 1 Is known that at least one railroad at
 torney of prominence and distinction
 in the Convention is in hearty sympa thy with Mir. Brooks's effort to effec' this important reform. It may be safe
 ly asserted that no reform which tho | Constitution could inaugurate woult more surely be stamped with the ap' proval of the citizens of Alabama. Il | the Brooks anti-free pass ordinance bt adopted by the Convention it will provo
 one of the influential elements of tho l Constitution that will contribute to 1t! l own ratification by the people.

 The San Francisco Call gave the Ala bama newspaper people and the very large number of non-newspaper people who accompanied them quite a nlow- out. At one of these The Call, owned by MT. Claus Spreckles. says:
 There was still more speechmakinK. T, F. HowZe of the Demopoli6 Dispatch, an old-time Democrat. saw in the striking examples of industrial development In California through the enterprise oi Claus Spreckels that there was much in a system of protection to commend.
 So far as The Advertiser is concerned this. is the first time 1t has ever heard of Mir. Howze as interested in The Demopolis Dispatch, and We feel quite sure that if he commended the protect i've tariff system, which Mir. Spcecksls upholds, that he is not in accord with we'll known views of The Dispatch. It has never given utterance to any pro- tective tariff sentiments. MT. s. G. Woolf, also of Demopolis. spoke, and The Call says "he spoke of the interest ing incidents of the outing and the won- derful attractions of California" MT. Woolf Is a good speaker. but as The Call does not identify him with any AL abama newspaper. it is probable that he spoke as one who was taking pleasure trip with the Alabama newspaper peo- pie. B ythe way. there were very few of ahe latter class in the party. and the probability is that that fact will break up future excursions.

Evidently The Chiffon Reflector mar rowly escaped being minus an editor a few nights ago. thus:
 A few nights ago some drunken fool or reckless idiot fired a pistol shot which endangered the life of the editor and his son. The ball passed through the window by which our bed was placed, and across the bed on which we were sleeping. II either of us had been sitting up in bed we would have been in direct range of the 3S calibre ball that was buried in the wall.
 It Is fortunate for our contempo- rary that he doesn't sleep sitting up in bed, and we don't blame him for wishing that he had been in possession of a loaded shot gun at the time, though it is possible that he was so badly rattled that he would have shot holes in the ceiling. At any rate, such reckless shooting is inexcusasle and we hope our brother editor will net again be placed in such ticklish position.

Displays His Ignorance.
