IN POSTER TYPE.

They are having hot politics in Ala
bama over the nomination of a Railroad
Commissioner. It seems that Mr.. Conner,
is candidate upon platform of giving
reduced passenger and freight rates. He
has written a paper in which he claims
and proves that it can be done without
denying a fair profit to the railroads. In
the Sunday Montgomery Advertiser two
whole pages are given up to opposing
Ccmer, and On one page in big poster
tyre is the following flaming advertise
mcnt:
Vote against B. B. Conner, the Ex-
trCmist, and in Favor of Conservative
Commission and Thus Not Disturb the
Prosperity and Development OF Ala
boma."
The natural inquiry of the average
voter will be: Who is paying for whole
page advertisements in daily newspapers?
II that is not satisfactorily explained
the people may get it in their heads
that the railroads have a candidate they
wish elected and are willing to put up the
"stuff'' to defeat Conner. Ind if they
should, if Alabama folks are like most
other folks, the very means they take
to defeat Conner, may result in his cleo
ttcn.

VIRGINIA SUFFRAGE CASES.
Argument Continued in Supreme
Court by Anderson, Christian, Wise.
By the Associated Press.)

Washington, April 5.-Argument in the
outrage case of William S. Sender and
others VS.. Governor Montague, CT the
State of Virginia, was continued IN the
United States Supreme Court today by
Attorney General Anderson and f. w.
Christian, both of whom contended tor
the validity of the suffrage clause OF the
new State Constitution which is attacked
by the proceeding. Mr.. Anderson dealt
especially with the. constitutional question
involved, arguing that as the suffrage
provision makes no discrimination on dc-
count of race color or previous condition
of servitude it does not conflict with the
Fifteenth Amendment, and that when that
amendment is not violated each state
has an un1uestionable right to regulate
its OWE electorate. He went so far as to
say that in determining what the quail
ficatons of a voter shall be, it Is compe-
tent for the State to fix as tests OF Mt
ness, characteristics which. though pos
sessed by both white and colored citizens,
are possessed by the whites in larger
proportion than the blacks.
AS illustrations OF such qualifications
he included those Of intelligence, military
service in time OF war, the ownership of
property, or any other qualities or at
tributes which are not based on the race,
colcr or previous condition of servitude
CT the citizen.
Mr. Christian confined himself largely
to the presentation of the question of jul
risdction, holding that the procedure
was not such that it was competent for
Federal Court TO act,
The arguments We're closed by John S.
Wise, who asserted that the control Of
the State affairs in Virginia had been
stolen from hundred thousand disfran-
chised voters His argument was an ora
torical effect which pleased his clients
and provoked an enthusiastic reception
for Mr.. Wise in the rotunda of the CAPT
tol as soon as he had concluded.

PUT UP OR SHUT UP.

The character OF the gentlemen named
to investigate the affairs of the Atlantic
aud North Carolina Railroad is such that
the people of North Carolina know they
will make a thorough investigation and
an honest report. Here is the gist OF
their instructions, as stated by the Gov
ernor:
"Thc committee is going to make a
very full examination into the physical
and financial condition of the road and
the hotel, and the conduct of both. They
will go into details, and leave no stone
unturIed."
The committee desires to get at all the
facts, and to that end have issued a pub
lie invitation in which they earnestly
invite all persons having knowledge or
trustworthy information of any matter
that ought to be investigated, reported
uron or remedied, to acquaint Us or any
of US with the same, either by letter or
PERSONAL interview and as early as posi-
ble's
Mr.. McBee has made an affidavit as
TO certain rumorS and street talk. most
of it coming from the henchmen of the
anti Democratic lawyers he has employed,
and most of which is not correct.
This committee viii investigate all of his
statements and let the public know the
real truths about each and every one of
them.
| There are some subsidized newspapers
and some others that haze been printing
and talking about very bad things that
have been done in connection with the
road. The committee invites them to
write at once and acquaint them with the
the information they are circulating sc
that it may be sifted. They must put w
now or shut uD.
The Governor and all the people O
North Carolina wish to know the true
condition of the company If there Ii
anything wrong, the remedy must be ap
piled. If mistakes have been made. the,
nust be corrected. If there has been cor
ruption, the guilty must be punished. The
people OF North Carolina will await the
report of this investigating committee
with confidence that it will contain the
whole truth. In the meantime they are
grateful to the Governor that he had the
courage to Gust the conspirators and prove
that North Cardinals Chief Executive
will protect public and private corpora
tions against being confscated or grabbed
| by soldiers of fortune and conspirators
The important lesson-the matter of the
highest inportance-that the owners OF
corporate property are protected in theil
control of it has been taught. And the
ioihcer OF every corporation in the State
has felt to thank the Governor for pre-
serving this necessary right.

Commenting upon Governor Aycock :
views with reference to a Southern man
on the Presidential ticket. the Washing
ton Star says: This is the principle ap-
piled in breaking a spirited horse to a
brass band or live locomotive. He should
not be forced up to the one while the
music is at its loudest or the other while
the whistle is blowing and the steam
escapes are active. The wise plan Is to
urge him up gently with kindly words
and then to hold him in place as the
band, beginning softly, accomplishes the
crescendo, or as the locomotive warns up
to its work"
