by extending the terms of two of the com missioners, most unfortunately. as I think baked the will of the people, re- newed the fight and the result was Mir Comer's nomination by an overw helming majority. in spite of the free use of mo- ney by the railroads in many counties, in the last primary election. As you no doubt know the campaign funds in all re- cent elections in this state have been furnished by the railroads and other corporations, and they have not hesi- tated to use their power.
 This is nothing new in the history of the Louisville and Nashville at least, if the story in the April Cosmopolitan is true, for, if you will but read that story. you will discover that the last political revolution in Kentucky arose from al most identical causes there. and it looks to me as manifest. that here, they are bound to produce like results-except the bloodshed and violence-which we have eN cry reason to believe. we shall be spared.
 The combination of railroad managers in Montgomery to confound MT. Conner is an object lesson ny no means lost upon the average voter. and I think the next primary will demonstrate that he has not lost sight of the main issue.

CHOATE IGNORED
 BY ENGLISH BAR
IS GIVEN MOST DISTINGUISHED ORDER EVER CONFERRED ON A FOREIGNER BY THE ENGLISH BAR.

London, April 10.-Ambassador Choate was tonight elected master of the bench ol the Middle Temple Among English lawyers this is the most distinguished or der that they confer on any outsider, and 1t Is the first time in several gen. erations that any other man than an English subject has been elected a bencher of the Middle Temple, one of the oldest institutions of courts In London The action tonight calls MT. Choate to the English bar and elects members of the governing body of the Middle Temple.
 Five signers of the Declaration of In- dependence were members of the Middle Temple. Since then not a single Ameri- can has been a member.
 So seriously did the lawyers take the proposition of thus breaking the record of the Temple, that the matter was not even mentioned to MT Choate until after his election Mr Choate will be the guest of the bench and bar the night of April IA.

FREIGHT RATE ISSUE.
MT. London Discusses the Railroads
 and Politics.

TU the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I always read with pleasure Ned Braces bright Sunday articles. and did so last Sunday. I trust you will pardon me for differing with him in re- gard to the present political situation in Alabama.
 The present issue is much larger than he states it. and great deal bigger than Mir Conner or the freight rate is- sue-which Is merely the present phase ot the question-and the average citizen. who is not seeking political preferment. will support Mir Conner from a motive much higher than mere personal ad- miration for him. or for the purpose of getting into his political band wagon.
 The real issue as l think, will be clear ly developed before the year is over, and 1t Is how far the railroads and corpora tions shall dominate the polictics of this state. The railroads made the issue. when ou' good old friend, Captain Falkner, th,- district attorney and political agent os the Louisville and Nashville rail- road threw down the gauntlet on an elective railroad commission. He was fairly beaten on the question, and the legislature, responding to well defined public sentiment. made the commission elective. But he kept up the fight, and al the September session, the legislature

This charge varies from B to S per car and the companys action will have the effect of reducing the carload rates to that exent
 It Is said that the action of the Chi cago and Eastern Illinois will be quickly followed by all the other lines leading from Chicago to st.

 Ever since the great war on grain rates last winter from Omaha to New Orleans to the Atlantic seaboard there has been much friction between western lines. 1t Is feared that the movement made today may lead to general break up In western railroad rates on competit- ing traffic.

 "As the regent of the Virginia room in the museum, she was deeply interested and donated many of the priceless me mentoes of her distinguished father, Gen eral Robert F. Lee, as gifts to the mu- scum. One of the conspicuous traits of her sensitive nature was her purpose of enlisting funds or gifts for the Confed- crate work. as she feared that a request from the daughter of General Lee might be construed as a demand.
