The controversy over the proper hnal resting place of John Paul Jones goes merrIly on. Philadelphia claims him because. as we understand, his first vessel under the American Con- gress sailed from that city. Annapolis wants him for some reason, The Wash angton Post is sure that he should bC buried at Arlington because that is q national cemetery. and so 1t goes. Now comes The Fredericksburg (va-) Star to claim the honor because that city was once his home and the only real home he had in America. All this shows the great interest In the eminent sailor and the desire to honor his re- mains. His name and fame are the common property of the United States and wherever he may finally rest ht wllI belong to all of us

Eetters to the edftor
Al CommendabIe Movement.

Jackson, Ala. April 26, 1905. Editor The Advertiser:
 The better e1emept of the negroes of Jackson have made manly stand for separating themselves from the lower, degraded element of the race They have also pledged themselves to use their influence in helping to purify the lives of the negroes of the community. They realize that he who would be free must strike the first blow This effort at classification has done more, perhaps, to put the negroes of this community to thinkin gthan any thing else has ever done in the same length of time.
 The promoters of the effort are ask ing the moral support of their white friends in trying to make the negroes of the community better. w. w. Harper.

Can't Prevent It.

Birmingham Ledger.
 Probably no way can be invented to prevent man from stealing. Embezzle- ment is much too common and is too lightly punished. A man who misuses trust funds is thief. Had Bigelow won he would have been no less a thief. It has become a custom to allow embezzlers to make good and resign. This Is done by all, or nearly all business houses Common honesty will disappear If thieves are not punished. The swindler, the em- bezzler and the thief are one, after two or three unpunished crimes. A man does wrong when he allows these crimes to go unexposed.

 famous French general when ask cd how it was that he had such an erect carriage, replied that it was because he bent over and touched the floor with his fingers thirty times every day. If he had acquired rigidity of the spine so that he could not do that he would have had with 1t weak abdominal mus cles, which result in portal congestion. Thfs portal congestion interferes with stomach digestion and with the action of the liver. The poison destroying power of the liver is lessened, autoin- toxication results and arteriosclerosis and old age come on at a much earlier day But by keeping the spine flexi- bIe and the abdominal muscles strong and taut the portal circulation Is kept free and old age is held ofe.

There have been very few occasions in modern times when newspaper men have faced a more vexIng condition than-that connected with the two great navies now in Eastern waters.

SPENCER SPEAKS
FOR RAILROADS |.
Does Not Oppose Legislation
Reasonably Protective Of In
tcrcsts Of Carriers.
BUT WANTS "EQUlTABLE' LAW
Says Alleged Evils Should be
n Distinctly Defined and
Fairly Discussed.
tBy Associa ted Press

IS WASHINGTON, d. c., May 1e-In all
dent of the Southern Railway, discussed
the attitude of the railroads towards
the proposed legislation for governmental
regulation. in view of the recent utter
ances of President Roosevelt and others.
There is no substantial basis" he
said, "for the view so often expressed
that the railways are opposing legsla-
ton reasonably and equitably protective
of their interest as well rs that of the
public.
7 1T IS not practicable to say at this
time what the exact provisions Of such
Legislation should be. This in fairness
should depend upon existing conditions
and needs, which ought to be carefully
and exactly ascertained, md not as
sumed. These conditions and needs are
now the subject matter of diligent IN
nuiry by Il committee of the Senate.
Final opinion and the formulation of leg
islation based thereon should he left until
this inquiry shall have been completed"
'"That the railways have considered
that the legislation thus far suggested
Is not duly protective OF their interest
Is undoubtedly true. Those interests cam
not be eauitably protected II decision Is
to be made and become effective. upon
the purely judicial question of the rea-
sonableness and unreasonableness Of a
rate without strictly judicial procedure
They cannot be equitably protected IL
one class of carriers Is subjected to the
provisions OF tho law and other classes
competing for tho same traffic shall be
exempt The carriers interest cannot be
fairly protected and the commerce of
the country must be injured by statutes
which provide that n rate of transporta- :.
ton once fixed by any authority shall
remain perpetually in force thereafter
until changed by commission or by court.
There Is no division of opinion as to-
the desrabillty OF stopping Ill secret Or
,,njustly discriminatory devices and pra C.
tices of whatsoever character, but there.
Z Is lust and rea sonable claim upon the
mart Of the carriers that If evils in trans;
portation are to be the subject OF further
legislation those evils should be dis
tinctly defined, and that there should be.
a fair and exhaustive discussion rs to,
how those evils can best be reached and.
remedied, and that, In the interest of the
commerce Of the country, which is SO IN
dissolubly linked with transportation as
we'll as in Justice to the carriers and
their owners, unnecessary legal restric-'
tons and burdens should be avoided,
which, while certainly harmful to TIE
great interests, will not aid In correct
Ing the evils"
