General Otis justly considered he had the situa- ton well in hand. even though the fight ing continues. To General Macarthur Is due much credit for pacifying a large portion of the Philippine islands, but to General Chaffee comes the greatest op- portunity. that of stamping out the in surrection in those provinces where they have the most stubborn resistance pro longed beyond what was thought possi- ble. I think that General Chaffee is do- ing this effectively and that his example and influence upon the military govern ment will soon result in establishine most cordial relations between the civil and military authorities.

HONEST ELECTIONS.
rom the Tuscumbia Dispatch.

From the Tuscumbia Dispatch.
 Honest elections is and will be for years to come the watch cry for all Ala bamlans. The new constitution assured the white people of the state that fraud corruption and coercion would never again be tolerated in our primaries and elections. Any citizen, from the clergy down to the humblest citizen can here intmation of doing dishonest act. They can carry on an election without an- tagonizing or giving cause for any crit icsm from friend or foe. The ballot will and must be counted as voted. The Dis patch reproduces the following editorial from the Age-Herald, and 1t strikes the key note for honest elections in Ala bama. We are with the Age-Herald in this movement and will urge an Hon est Election League for Colbert. From the Edwardsville Standard-News
 We are heartily in accord with the sen- timent expressed by the Age-Heraid in the foregoing article, and while we do not admit that "every part of the state has become rotton politically speaking? yet we are free to admit that ballot-box trickery has dominated the greater DOT tion of our beloved state long enough, and that it Is high time fraud in cleo tions should cease. We second the Age Heralds motion that every county seat in the state organize an Honest Election League. Cleburne will be found in line for honest elections and a fair count.
 From the Athens Democrat.
 The Sundays Birmingham Age-Herald advocates the forming in each county an Honest Election League to see that the provisions of the new Constitution in regard to honest elections may be carried out. This is a move in the right direc- ton. There is no longer any necessity for frauds at elections and any infringe ment of the law should bring condign punishment to the offender.
