 In the. State the males of voting age number 413,s62. Of these 274.213 can read and write and 139.S43 cann't This makes the percentage of !lliteracy among the males of voting age in. :he State 33.7.

NO USE ARGUING.

The Advertiser has so frequently and plainly defined it's position on the question of State prohibition that 1t would be thrashing over old straw to enter into a reply to the long argument of our good friend. The Eutaw Whig and Observer. We have not written on this subject without due reflection, and much investigation, and have found amply satisfying evidence that State prohibition law Is a failure and will always be until human nature Is changed.
 But the concluding paragraph in The whig's article is worth a word or two. It says:
 We believe a large number, if not a majority, of The Advertisers readers would be glad if some plan could be cen tered upon in our own State to lessen the evils arising from the saloon.
 The Advertiser would be as well pleased as any of its readers can De with any means which will lessen the evils arising from the saloons, not only in our own State. but elsewhere. We see those evils and their effects on all sides and at all times, and would gladly see them minimized or elimin- ated, but a thorough study of history and conditions has satisfied us that the remedy does not lie in State prohibi- tion. and that's all there is to it.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-07-10
WORDS OF CONTAMINATION.
The Advertisers Course is strongly
 Endorsed.

The Advertiser is in receipt oi the following letter from thoughtrui ana conservative citizen living in the south- ern part of the State:
 If. as have written you betore' the paper could reach here the same day 1t is published, it's circulation could De easily doubled.
 I am of the opinion that about the best thing the Constitutional ConVen- ton has done was to provide TOT stenographic report of its proceedings. And The Advertiser in furnishing its subscribers and the public with the report has made itself the most eh- cient educational medium that mas ever been sent into the homeS of the people
 Four years ago your paper naa put few readers here. Certain prominent isms dominated public sentiment m this section. and any paper thaf dld not parade them was anything but pal atable to the political taste With tne radical change in public sentiment. II the Convention will give the people a wise and conservative Constitution free from all subterfuges. and especial ly a grand-daddy clause, there are hopeful signs of wonderful revolution for the better in the body polite.
 Pardon me for the intrusion Of these humble opinions into business letter as 1t no doubt is a trespass on your time. but at the same time the tempta' ton to blow off a little is stronger than can resist.

A Strictly State Commission.

Sheffield Reaper.
 We do not know which would be the best policy for the Convention to adopt, whether to make the Railroad Commis- sion an elective or an appointive office, but we are firm in the belief that the Commission should be made strictly a State office. paid by the State, and that 1t should be granted full powers to cor rect unjust determinations against Alabama traffic. Of course some will take issue with The Montgomery Ad- vertiser for opposing the making of the office elective. losing sight of the fact The Advertiser only opposes that ona feature. We are with the Mentor of Perry Street in any effort to lift such offices above the plane of present poli- tics. because It's matter which should be altogether free from political influ- ences. especially where demagogy is sc liable to enter and give opportunity tC disturbers. But. as we state, the ne- cessity for a State Railroad Commits sion is apparent to any one who stud les business conditions and figures, and the Constitutional Convention should consider the interests of the people oi Alabama

Negro Suffrage in the South.

"Senator Foraker's protests agalns' the efforts of Southern states to neu- traIize negro suffrage" says The Brook lyn Eagle. Twill hardly please Re- pubic snism at Washington. Nortn- ern Republicanism, as whole. IS as reconciled to the perturbation or ne gro suffrage as Southern Democracy as a whole. is bent on neutralizing It
 Northern Republicarism hopes TOT the success of Republicanism among the whites irt the South by the process of negro elim,lation now going on there. Northern Republ'canism realizes that if it were down South 1t would refuse to be ruled by negroes just as Southern Democracy refuses to be.
 "The race feeling is the same or has become the same among all white men North or South. and Mir. Foraker's la ment over the disfranchisement Of ne groes in the South who do not wan, to vote, who can be easily influenced or bought not to vote. and who are keeping nut of politics by the advice of the .sest leaders of their owr race. is too artificial for serious con sideration.

The Right Sort.

Nashville American.
 The editor who has not the spirit to say You may sink me, you may drown me if you will. but will kee p the rudder true" is without the cILr- age his duties require. He nay "pLeal to prejudice and excite to passion a cheap and easy thing to to; hs mey denounce those who differ wth him. and he may boast of partizanship in the intensity of which the most ig- norant may excel, but he will fail nil@ erably in measuring up to :he stand al d which the self-respecting ejitor should set for himself and be satisfied with nothing short of 1t. Such addresses as that of MT. Herbert win lo good. They are the signal of growth that is showing itself in the South and of an influence that cannot be stayed.

Alabama Facts and Figures.

Birmingham Age-Herald.
 The latest census bulletin relates to rersons of school age. to males of mil itia age and of voting age. and to the number of foreign born males. in Ala bama, Alaska. Arizona, Arkansas, Cali forliia. Colorado and Connecticut The Alabama figures are at least interest ing to readers of The Age Herald.
 Tn Alabama there are 733.222 pers ons of school age-that is to say. between the ages of and 20 inclusive. Of this number 7S1 .ss4 were born 'n this rour- try, leaving only 1858 of foreign hi-th The whites number ss4.l52: the elacks sss. es0, with a few Chinese. JapaHesr and Indians besides.

What of Justices of the Peace.

Editor The Advertiser:
 I rise to a point of inquiry. Has any one introduced in the Constitu- tional Convention an ordinance pre- scribing qualifications for Justice Uf the Peace? If so.- the fact has escaped my notice.
 While we are prescribing educational and other qualifications for the voter, is it not equally important that we should provide that those charged with the administration of justice, even in small way, should be men of charac- ter and of a certain degree of intelli- gence?
 It is a notorious fact that a great many Justices of the Peace in this State are so illiterate that they are un- able to state a case intelligibly on their dockets; others again possess some intelligence, but belong to that class described in expressive Alabama venacular as mo account white men, who could not get credit for a dollar, nor make any statement that would be believed.
 I am not telling any news to members of the Convention. make no doubt that every che of them knows of in- stances of justice being defeated by the !ncompetency or venality of Justices of the Peace.
 The country magistrate is the dis pel.ser of justice to the poor The cases that come before him do not in- vo1ve much money, but the issues are often as important to the litigants as the. verdicts of higher courts are to the rich. Are not the poor entitled to some consideration in the administration ot justice?
 Why this lamentable state of things should have continued so long without any attempt at reform, Is inexplicable to me. Two explanations have beer suggested to me: First. that these country magistrates. however steeped in ignorance or sodden with drink, arc men that can control votes in their re spective baliwicks-leaders among the hill Billies" at whom aspiring politi clans are wont to make 'goo-goo eyes. Second, that there is a class of lawyer; that make a speciality of practice 1T magistrates courts, whose income would be considerably diminished i they had to practice before justices to- Intelligent to be bambooZled and to' honest to. be corrupted.
 | As I said at the outset. rise to point of inquiry. I desire information 1 from the Editor of The Advertiser, ant if no move has been made toward thi
 much and lcng-peeded reform, invok editorial aid in bringing the subject t the attention of the Convention. l Billy Hill.
