THE clerk who was detailed to count
the number of registry books in the
Postoffice storeroom found that there
were 1000 of the old style books on
hand although several thousand new
books had been purchased from the
General Manifolding Company, in
which Representative Sibley is inter-
ested. The clerk reported the fact
and was reprimanded and then re-
duced to messenger work.

IMMIGRATION for the fiscal year just
ended passed all previous records,
nearly a million aliens having come
to the United States, most of them
being the lowest class of labor from
the most undesirable parts of Europe.
OF course the American manufacturer
must be protected from all possible
competition, but the American labor
ing man can expect no protection
from cheap labor. Senator Elkins
and other men Of his stamp, who rep.
resent the employers OF cheap labor in
Congress, will permit no additional re-
strictions on immigration.

WITTY LAWMAKERS.
They Are Rebuked for Their Temerity by the
Organ Of Their Profession.

Law Notes.
The last session of the Kansas Gen
eral Assembly distinguished itself by
passing an "Act Regulating the Use
of Automobiles" The first section of
the act originally read as follows:
"That the term automobile and
motor vehicle as used in this act
shall be construed to include all types
and grades OF motor vehicles propelled
by electricity, steam, gasolene, or
other source OF energy, commonly
known as automobiles, motor vehicles,
or horseless carriages, using the public
highways and not running on rails or
tracks" Some exquisite humorist in
the Assembly was thereupon moved to
add this side-splitting amendment:
Nothing in this amendment shall
be construed as in any way prevent
ing. obstructing, impeding, embarrass-
ing, or in any other manner or form
infringing upon the prerogative of any
political Chauffeur to run an auto
mobilious band.wagon at any rate he
sees fit compatible with the safety Of
the occupants thereof; provided, how
ever, that not less than ten nor more
than twenty ropes be allowed at all
times to trail behind this vehicle when
in motion, in order to permit those
who have been 80 fortunate as to
escape with their political lives
an opportunity to be dragged to
death; and provided further, that
whenever a mangled and bleeding
political corpse implores for mercy,
the driver OF the vehicle shall, in &C.
cordance with the provisions of this
bill, Throw out the life line" Fur
nished with this bid for popular favor
the measure passed both houses, was
signed by the Governor, and stands as
chapter 67 OF the Laws of Kansas for
1903. We reprint this jeu desprit,
this greatest legislative joke of the
year." not only that our readers may
enjoy its subtle wit and delicate irony.
but to suggest doubt as to the good
taste OF embodying such jokes in the
statutes. Many statutes are uncon.
sciously amusing to a degree, but a
professedly humorous statute seems to
US thing to be avoided. 1t puts the
State in the position of a clown, and
is only worthy of the smile of mild
contempt with which we should greet
some grave elder who should array
himself in the professional buffoon's
baggy clothes and white and red
mask. There is a place for all things,
but the statute-book of State is
hardly the place for an exhibition OF
poor rustic wit.

SOME newspapers are in the habit OF
wasting a good deal OF sympathy on
the brutes who assault white girls and
get themselves lynched for their
crimes. But how about the poor girl?
Isn't she deserving OF more sympathy?

EVERY time a negro oversteps the
bounds OF civilization and humanity
and every lynching that takes place,
widens the breach between the whites
and the blacks of our country, and
brings nearer the crisis that is sure to
come if something Of decided nature
is not done by the courts to punish
these brutes without making it nece..
saro for the people to take hand in
it themselves.

THE public very generally is in
thorough accord with q brother editor
who says that Pope Leo has ruled the
Roman Catholic Church with wisdom
and humanity, and his death will find
q better agreement among all the peo.
pie of the world than existed at the
time of his birth. In this improve
ment he has had his share, and while
the Roman Catholics will mourn the
loss of the head of their church, the
people of other denominations and of
no denomination will be honored in
their mourning for the death OF one
they held in high esteem.

"CHIcAGo to Paris by rail-" is the
latest pipe-dream. And yet it may
not be such q fantasy as it might
seem. The idea is to run by rail from
New York to San Francisco, thence to

tending to the Bering Sea, where a

lands. The road would then run to
st. Petersburg, and from there through
Europe to Berlin and Paris.

That St. Louis Exhibit.

Birmingham News.
 There Is no, just ground for criticism of Governor Jekls because of his attitude on the question of an appropriation for an exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase Ek- position to be held in St. Louis next year. The Governor should be and doubtless Is financial condition of the state. and he is unable to see his way clear for the State to lend its aid to the movement through an appropriation.
 made many large appropriations, some Of which have not yet received executive approval for fear of embarrassing the treasury. On the other hand the reduc- stitution has cut down the chief source of revenue to a considerable extent. new revenue law has been enacted, but the amount 1t will yield Is as yet matter of uncertainty.
 It is this situation which impels the Governor to pursue cautious course in the matter of spending the States money. He is a progressive executive and is as ma to be creditably represented at St. Louis. but 1t is his sworn duty to protect the States credit first. By fall the situa- ton may be such as to render an appro, priation feasible, but this Is doubtful, and even if 1t should then be made 1t would come too late unless tho commercial bodies and business interests of Alabama had meanwhile raised 6 sufficiently sub space for an Alabama exhibit at St. Louis
 In other words, 1t is up to the business men of the State to put up the money for first class exhibit which may or may not be supplemented by the State at s later date or abandon the enterprise alto gether A meagre exhibition of our re. sources would be worse than no display ly represent the State. and while The News regrets to see this great opportunity for advertising Alabama pass by unim, proved. 1t would prefer that the State have tingly represent 1t.
