1.-THE term Independent action naturally
included the opening of hostilities. The
fact that Russia was unable to understand
1t in that light is, of course. no reason why
Japan should be held responsible for the
misinterpretation made by Russia. 1t is
the almost unanimous opinion of interna-
tional jurists that a declaration of war is
not an Indispensable prerequisite to the
opening of hostilities. Indeed, it has been
the common practice in recent wars to de-
clare war after hostilities have begun
Japans action, therefore, is not open to
the least criticism In this regard. From
the standpoint of International law it must
be acknowledged that the charge made
against her does not come with good grace
from Russia. inasmuch as there are not
only many historical instances of Russia
herself resorting to hostilities without de-
claring war, but one case, that of invasion
of Finland In 1908. when she began war be-
fore there had even been a rupture Of diplo-
matte relations"

The State buildings and exhibits
at st. Louis cost nearly as much as
the entire Paris Exhibition of 1900,
and will give the visitor better idea
of each State in the Union than the
ordinary traveller could achieve in
lifetime.
The St. Louis Worlds Fair is
twice as large as the Columbian
Exhibition at Chicago, and larger
than the Chicago, Paris and Buffalo
expositions combined.
The Pike at the St. Louis Worlds
Fair is the most wonderful aggrega-
ton of buildings, peoples and
amusements which any people in
history ever have beheld.
st. Louis is in itself one of the
most interesting cities in the United
States. There are more hotel and
clearinghouse accommodations in
St. Louis at present than any city
in America possibly could furnish,
with rates as low as any one can ask
or as high as the most wealthy pa
tron can afford, according to tastes
and purses.
Railroad rates to and from St.
Louis during the Worlds Fair are
the lowest ever given in connection
with such an enterprise.
People of more races are to be
seen on the streets Of St. Louis and

period in New York, chicago, WASH
ington, Cincinnati, Pittsburg or
Kansas City. The nights are al
ways cool and comfortable, and even
in midsummer there are few very
hot days.
Every man, woman and child who
fails to visit St. Louis and the
Worlds Fair will miss the greatest
achievement of ancient, medieval
or modern times.
1t is conceded by acute observers
that this, the greatest of all exposi-
tions, will be the last great exposi-
ton within the lives of the present
generation. This is the one oppor-
tunity of your life. Are you going
to miss it?
Typifying the agricultural re-
sources of each State, large map,
covering six acres, with cinder
walks marking the boundary lines,
shows the visitors at the Worlds
Fair the growing crops of the nation
as they are adapted to the various
sections.
Texas, with its enormous area, is
represented with cotton through the
central section, corn and wheat in
the northern part of the State, range
grass in the cattle belt and rice
fields along the southern coast.
Every State is similarly marked.

to do all in our power to foster and up
build existing railroad lines, and to pro-
mote and Encourage others, until our
state shall be a perfect net work of
railroads similar to the states of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio. Illinois, In
diana and others.
BY reference to the map of the states
mentioned, as compared with Alabama,
1t will be readily seen that our railroad
mileage is insignificant. and If the peo-
pie of Alabama wish to have every por-
ton of the state penetrated by graf rail-
road lines, it would certainly seem that
a radical man like Mr.. Conner should not
be placed In charge with mandatory
powers to harrass and hamper these in
situations and inevitably throw them into
bankruptcy. For with their fall every
interest in the state must suffer.
All will agree that this is the brightest
era in the commercial history of the
state. Every avenue of trade and in
dustry is prospecting, abundantly pros
pering. To believe Mr. Corners argu-
ment, is to believe that we are in a bad
way indeed. Such attempted deception
should be frowned upon, for no man
should be elevated to position in which
his selfish prejudice may have an OPP
portunity to manifest itself to the detri-
ment of all of u.s.

DR.. StodqhiII Writes.

To the Editor of The Age-Herad:
In your issue of April Bird | notice an
article from Edgar l.. Whatley, relative
to the candidacy of Walter S. Smith for
congress from the Fifth district. In re-
ply to which l wish to say:
First l am sorry of Mr.. Smiths refer
ence in his Prattville speech. to Mr.. Matt
Whatley that has proven so offensive to
Mr.. Edgar
Second. Mr.. Edgar Whatley's article
was evidently written in anger.
Third. Mr.. Smith has the warm sup
port of many of Clay countys best citi-
zens, who think that they will roll up a
large majority in his favor next Monday
many of whom have encouraged him to
make the race
Forth. Mr.. Smith has proven himself
in the school room, in Columbian Univer-
sty and in the state senate, as man OF
extraordinary ability.
Fifth. If elected to a seat in congress
Mr.. Smith will do credit to the Fifth dis
triet and to the entire ntate.
Sixth. Mr. Smiths moral character is
without bemish. lie is member of
the bdpilsl chuIcH anu nave peen MS
pastor for several years. Until recently
he has been president of the b. Y. p. u.
in our church since the organization.
Seventh. The above has been written in
justice to Mr.. Smith, and in defense of the
facts in the case.

Montgomery, April S-With reference to
Mr.. B. B. Corners very latest publication
which appears in the newspapers gen
orally throughout the state this week.
the democratic conservative club gives
out the following:
Mr. Corners comparative rates are bus
a repetition of the comparisons previous
ly published by him and industriously dis
tributed by his campaign committee TO
all the voters of the state. The inaccu-
racy of these figures has been clearly
pointed out by the Conservative club
through the press of the state, and other
wise. and 1t has been clearly demonstrate
ed that the adjustment of freight rates
in Alabama is today more favorable than
the adjustment in Georgia or any of the
other states which Mr. Conner names as
his models
Mr.. Conner has not in his latest publ.
cation nor IN any of his previous publ
cations. ever denied or attempted to deny
the fact that the through rates to Geor-
gia distributing points sucn as Atlanta
and Macon added to the local rates from
such distributing points to local stations,
are greater in the aggregate than rates
to similar distributing points and local
points In Alabama. Hence the Alabama
farmers and other Alabama consumers
pay a less rate of freight than those of
Georgia.
He again fails to show that if the local
rates in Alabama were reduced it would
inevitably result in rising the interstate
rates which would actually raise the to-
tai rates paid by all consumers in Ala
bama on the very articles he selects in
his comparative table. and tat such ac-
ton would further raise the rate on coal,
raw material and various products shin

ped to market by producers, which would
operate to the very great detriment of
all industries and consumers in Alabama.
Again: II he were elected, and should
make the reduction on local rates which
he promises and if perchance, the rail
road companies should not increase their
interstate rates, the result would bank
rupt Alabama railroads. thus impairing
their efficiency and the safety of the
service reduce wages. and deter further
development.
Alabama cannot afford to have the
present freight rate adjustment disturbed.
It would be a calamity for Aabamas
interstate rates to be raised.
Mr. Conner would be powerless TO pre-
vent the raising of interstate rates even
If he were elected.
The railroads would have nothing to do
except to give ten days notice to the in
terstate commerce commission ON that
interstate rates would be advanced
twenty-five or fifty per cent and the in
creased rates could be made effective
within that time.
Mr.. Conner has never yet attempted to
deny that he is a partisan, that he is
prejudiced, that he has a personal interest
in the matter and therefore, his unfit
ness for the position must be evident to
every thinking citizen of Alabama.
His evasive reply as to the flour and
meal transaction falls far short of an ex-
PLANTATION, and requires as much explana-
ton as the original transaction
All of this demonstrates clearly that
Mr. Conner is working for his own in
.terests and not for the good of the people.
