Newspaper men should assert
their independence and emanci-
pate themselves from the thrall-
dom of the complimentary.
They should pay the usual price
for what they get and demand a
fair price for services rendered.
They should pay their way into
the circus like other men, and
get cash for every line of circus
advertising printed, or any other
show or entertainment. They
should pay for seeing a ball game
and demand so much per line for
baseballadvertising. The church
social for financial gain should
pay its way like any other bust
ness venture and the editor
should eat and pay like other
men. It is a sad fact that the
giver of complimentary" al
ways imagines that he is bestow-
ing charity, and as long as pub
fishers submit to the ''compli-
mentary" evil they will be
classed as semi-mendicants and
fail to achieve their proper place
in the business world. The
Courier is through with "comps"
and hereafter will charge for all
advertising for entertainments,
circuses, etc., etc. We prefer
to pay our way aud let others do
the same.

Gov. White publishes q very
good answer to President Worst
in the Fargo Forum Of April /,
replying to Mr.. Worst's letter
attacking the governors veto of
the experimental station and in
our opinion the position of the
governor is well sustained and
he should be given due credit.
We regret that we have not the
space to reproduce the article
in question as it is we'll worth
reading and is . good business
argument and very fair. The
governor vetoed q few appropria-
tlons because it was absolutely
necessary to do so in order to
keep the expense of the state
within the limit aud for SO doing
he should be commended. What.
ever opinion we may have on
some of his other vetoes we be-
lieve the veto of the appropria.
tion for the experimental station
was all right. Let US treat the
governor with fairness and give
him proper credit where it is
due.

Fewer Cases Before Recorder.

With the new state of affairs In the present city administration, it Is notice able that the Recorders Court has had fewer cases to handle than just prior to it's incoming Chief of Police Case has inaugurated new rules and has announced his intention to have them carried out to the letter. These rules are based on law and, as he states, are not intended to be a persecution to the public gener- ally, but a prosecution of what Is to be expected of his department.
 Recently the City Fathers enacted a law to prevent smoking of cigars, cigar cites or pipes on street cars in the city limits, but for some unknown cause, 1t was not enforced. An order was issued from the office of the Chief of Police that, beginning this morning, this ordi- nance would be enforced. In order to have 1t enforced it is understood special instructions have been issued. Some have argued that the law is a poor one, but 1t has been made & success In other cities, say knowing ones, and therefore, can be made effective in Mobile.
 Another order issued from this same source and one which will be most vigor- ously carried out, is that prohibiting fe- males from visiting bar-rooms in the city, outside the restricted district Ample mo- tice has been given those interested In this order, and it Is safe to predict they will take due heed.
 Ed McGrath. a longtime member of the police force, and recently member of the detective corps, has rendered his resignation. During his service MT. Me Grath proved a faithful officer and made many friends,

Weather and Tobacco Habit.

Did you ever think about the influence
 the weather has on cigars and tobacco in
 its other forms?" asked man in St.
 Charles Street cigar stand, says The New
 Orleans Times Democrat. My attention
 was called to the matter but few min
 uteS ago by customer who came Tn to register a complaint. He was wrathy be- cause the cigars he has bought for the
 past few days have not smoked as well
 as usual. and he evidently thought had switched the brand on him. It never oc- cured to him that meteorologic condi- tions might have something to do with the cigars It happens that l smoked the
 same brand the customer generally buys, and I could understand that his complaint was well grounded.
 II explained to him that the damp weather which we have experienced for the past few days was responsible for the
 condition of his cigars. You see, we have had an unusually heavy rainfall. During such time in this section of the country it is impossible to keep our stock of cigars and tobacco dry enough. Because of the peculiar conditions here in this respect the walls of buildings syeat, as we are in the habit of saying. That is they become wet and remain in this condition until | the weather hreaks-until the sun comes out to dry the dampness. How does 1t af- feet cigars? They become damp and soft and have the appearance of being new, or
 gteen. to adopt the technique of the trade, | They do not burn we'll smoke in an un- even sort of way, and, as rule, if may 1 judge from my own experience, It Is | necessary to throw one-halt of them away. There is one thing which I cannot explain, and that is the change which | takes place in the flavor of the cigars. | but the flavor is unquestiunably changed. | Cigars that have a delightful flavor un-
 der ordinary conditions become strong and offensive to the taste and frequently burn and blister the tongue. That's why 1t is necessary to throw them away before they are smoked to the tip. That is what the weather does for cigars. To some eX- | tent it has the same influence on chewing | tobacco, and not infrequently We have to throw tobacco away because 1t sours. Customers do not stop to think about | these things as a rule, and often they will quit a place because they think the cigar man is giving them the worst of it."

Alabama Republicans at Next Con-
 Vention.
Greenshnro- Ala N

Greensboro, Ala, March r, 1903. Editor The Advertiser:
 It is almost absolutely certain the Re publican National Convention will not recognize a delegation coming up from an organization claiming to be Republi- can, but limited to white men. Some white men are willing to belong to the Republican party, provided it can be linn tied to white men and provided also that they be given a part of the offices. All such white men might as well "carry their clothes back home" for the Repub- llcan party is not "a Jim Crow party" and the "Old Guard have no offices to spare. The "OId Guard feel they have about as many white men now as they can provide with offices. What are the white men in it for. if not for the of fees? Look how they kicked when Col onel Rculhac was appointed District At torney. Respectfully,
