Why This RadicalismP

Montgomery Journal.
 There would be no possibility of such . radical man as B. B. Conner being elected President of the Railroad Com mission except for the prejudice existing In the minds of a great many people against railroads" said a prominent merchant of Montgomery yesterday.
 Does such prejudice really exist in the minds of the sterling citizenship of Ala bama? Is it possible that our people have a prejudice against these industrial agen- ces? Doubtless a great number Of peo- pie throughout the State have at times In their business career had some griev- ance against some railroad, but The Journal does not believe that the people of Alabama are so narrow as to permit prejudice to exist against the railroads or against any other class of industriai agencies If so, we are indeed m bad way, and if man shall be elected President Of the Commission by reason or such prejudice. it means a retroRraue movement in the States development step backward which will not De over come for a decade.

 Birmingham Free Lance.
 If MT. Conner could show and demon- sfrate that the railroads were earning more than the law permitted them to earn, and that the people, were luesaiig and unjustly deprived of any or tlei money by the exactions or rallroaus' there would not be one to protest against such an undertaking. But he proposes 10 spIay the role of an enemy of the rail- roads, to harass and annoy them by at- tempts to do what he can not do, at com mand of the Grocery Trust, which, II ne should partially succeed, would only oeh- eft that trust and do the people no eoou nor be of the slightest benefit 10 theiii The people would get nothing, but pay the costs of a vexatious agitation TOT ms term of office, while he nagged ana an moved the railroads, stopped railroad vent the establishment of many industries vent the establihme1t of many industries which would add millions to the taNapie values of the State.
 Alabama needs no railroad agitation al this time. An suspicious day for deVl- opment will dawn with the commence ment of work on the Panama Canal Ce- ment, brick, tile and other factories are on the verge of establishment, which would be driven away if the railroads shall be hampered by agitation and per picking, unnecessary litigation, and piac- ed in attitudes where they can not be in position to induce and aid in their estab- lishment
 There is nothing to Mir. Corners con tention. He is mistaken or Is playing the demagogue, or he expects to make him self the agent of the trust of which he is a member to try to knock off cent per 100 or cents per 100 on this or the other classification, or some other little nag ging efforts that will amount to nothing SO far as the public or the consumer is concerned. 1t might pay the wholesale groceryman a little sum on each car lot or possibly save a retailer 10 cents on a box of goods; but it would be of no value or benefit to the consumer. The railroads would appeal the cases possibly, and the costs would fall on the State.

Hartford es-Herald.
 The railroads are not asking that the people elect a man to the position of President of the Railroad Commission who will not look after the people interest, they are simply asking that B. E. Conner, man whose proven character as an extremist and as an enemy to the rai- roads, is not elected This position can only be filled by one who can make fair and impartial decisions between the rights of the railroads and the rights of the peo- pie. The railroads have done too much towards the development of our State for us to requite them by placing B. B. Conner in this responsible position.
 Besides the fact that Mir. Conner has placed himself on record as an avowed enemy of the railroads. if he is guilty of the charges made against him by men, who under oath say that they are true. then he is unfit, not only for President of the Railroad Commission, but for any other position of responsibility.

 The people of Alabama are fair-minded and just. They will not be swayed by blind prejudice and lose their heads at a time when our State needs deliberation wisdom and prudence.

It is said that Lady Mimic, the wife
of the governor general of Canada
believes that the position her husband
occupies is hoodooed. During the first
three years there were many exciting
incidents and several accidents. but
the last was rather too full Of extra
ordinary and dangerous events. Here
is list: Lord and Lady Mimic were
taking their farewell of the country
where they have been so popular, and
the train in which they were travel
ing collided with another, with the
result that five passengers were killed
and many injured. The viceregal par
ty escaped only because their carriage
happened to be the last In 1900
Lord Mimic took an active part In
fighting the fire at Ottawa and risked
his life several times. In 1902 he mar
rowly escaped drowning through the
breaking of the ice bridge over the
st. Lawrence. Early in the present
year Lady Mimic was unfortunate
enough to break her leg while skat-
ing, and before she was able to move
a fire broke out in government house,
from which she had to be rescued on
a stretcher.

AVOID CONSUMPTION.
Valuable Circular Issued by Those
 Who Fight White Plague.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 State hospitals for the treatment Of consumption are advocated in a circular issued by the Illinois board of health. The great white plague 1t is pointed out caused tle death Of 1000 persons in the state during 1908. The conclusion of the members of the board is that con- sumption is preventable and curable
 According to the circular which the board proposes to send to all consump- tiyes in the state, the disease rarely is inherited. although many children are born with weak constitutions, which pre- dispose them to the disease.
 Of the means by which the disease is most liable to be transmitted the circular says:
 ''The chief mode of communication of consumption Is from the dried sputum of consumptives. Where 1t dries the germs, which it contains in enormous numbers, mingle with thes air and dust of the building or the street, and may be breathed into the lungs, and thus infect susceptible persons, one consumptive spreading the disease to many others. The danger is increased by the great vi- tality of the germs. which live for long time after drying and mixing with the dust.
 Ut will be seen that the consumptive who is able to be around and goes from place to place and spits on the sidewalk, in the street Vars or on the floors of pub lie buildings, the workshop and the like. may be a far greater menace to the lives of others than the consumptive who Is confined to his dwelling"
 How to Avoid Consumption" is re- ferred to as follows:
 "The important points in the preven- ton of consumption are pure air. proper clothing, good food properly cooked mod crate rest and recreation, avoidance of all excesses; in other words moderate living. The excessive use of alcoholic liquors lowers vitality. favors infection and hastens fatal termination.
 "Join in the antiexpectoration crusade.
 Don't put in your mouth money or articles which have been promiscuously handled by others.
 Don't neglect to wash your hands be- fore you eat
 Don't sleep or live. if it can be avoid ed. in room with a consumptive
 Don't kiss consumptive Don't occupy premises formerly oc- cupied by a consumptive. unless the premises have been thoroughly disin- fected.
 Don't drink out of any glass, cup or vessel which has been used by another. unless 1t has been carefully washed.
 Don't work or sleep in a room where there is no fresh air. Have plenty of fresh air in your sleeping and living | rooms in both summer and winter Avoid mouth breathing. Breathe through your nostris. Don't mosten your finger or thumb
