Deserves Comer's Support. tFnhI1a

AODIlc btSiSlcT
 The address is an able and digni- fled statement and worthy of the high office to which the Lieutenant Gov ernor aspires. Practically he is in re- gard to rate regulation strictly in line with the president of the State Rail- road Commission, and should fulfill the ideal demanded by MT. Conner, who said, recently, that he would not run for Governor provided there offered some one who gave promise of be- ing willing and able to carry out those reforms for whose success he had de- voted himself. What effect this ad- dress by the Lieutenant Governor will have upon Mir Corners course. we can- not say, but MT. Conner has shown no great desire to rush into the guberna- torlal campaign and it seems to us probable that he will express himself satisfied with the Lieutenant Cover nor's program, and give him his sup port. This will be a good solution of the political situation where there set as to be a popular deman
 some one to run who will man
 deal with the rate question, and the same time there is need that candidate selected shall have mad some experience in public life.

War Teaches Geography.


 The Boer war taught us South Africa. The wars in the Soudan taught us the Upper Nile country. The war in she East taught us Manchuria and Korea. Now there is a squabble over Morocco, and we have to study that. There is also a little war down in Germany's part of Africa, where her troops are killing Hereros and vice-versa. We have to study Southwest Africa to keep up So war teaches geography. There is some good out of every evil, and war is teacher of geography. We may have to study the map of the coun- tries in Southeast Asia, where Russia and England may meet. Also there Is talk of the war troubles in the Cau. casian mountains and in Aremenia. The maps cannot he laid aside yet

The epidemics of yellow fever in New Orleans and Pensacola are as nothing compared to the famine in one part of Spain.

Over 10000 have died from starvation outright and 76.ooo more have been swept away by diseases ag- grayated by lack of neurishment.

We don't understand the meaning of the statement about man being arr rested in New York for eating grass, probably because we have not learned anything of the grounds upon which the charge against him was founded. We know that grass is scarce in New York and 1t may be that the object of the authorities was to protect the little they have. If that isn't the explana- tion. we don't know of any. Really, 1t seems hard that a man should be pun ished for eating about the only unadul- terated article of food in New York.

Mr. Cunningham is not crank (unless it be upon the subject of educatlon and that is a pretty good sort of crank to be), nor Is he an extremist. and by no means is he a slow-poke; but he is just one of those plan sort of men to whom 1t is safe to tie at all times. And by the same token the people of Ala bama-those who do not believe in pirat- ical methods or warrare-will elect him Governor
