A QUEaTToN OF ETHICs.

A prominent Paris journal recently put the question to a number of the best physicians in that city whether a patient suffering from an incurable dis ease and with only few weeks to live should be told the truth about his con- dition. Only a short while ago the question was seriously discussed as to whether it would not be better to end the life of patients suffering from an incurable disease rather than allow them to finger in misery.
 As to the first question. 1t must be remembered that doctor rarely knows with absolute certainty whether a dis ease Is incurable or not. Any experi- enced physician will tell you that he has known patients to recover when the doctor himself thought recovery was impossible. No human knowledge can tell in every instance whether there is no possibility of life being maintained in the sick person. In addition to this, we know that the doctors are not al- ways sure of the nature of the disease. We have only to read the papers to find almost every day cases where post mortem had to be held to decide on 'the nature of the disease which caused death, and even when that is done there is not infrequently a difference of opin- ion. Another thing which often baf- fies medical skill is that the same dis ease does not always have the same result in different cases. Two persons may be afflicted with precisely the same disease. so far as the physician can tell ,and may receive precisely the same treatment, yet one dies and the other recovers.
 Medical science and skill have made wonderful advances, yet doctors are human, and nothing but infinite wisdom can foretell the result of an attack of sickness. There are diseases, of course, about whose nature a good doctor can not be deceived. and he may be abso- lutely sure that death must result. but even then he may be mistaken. It re- fleets no discredit on the medical pro- fession or on its members that they cannot look into the future and foresee results with absolute certainty.
 The Indianapolis Sentinel has con- densed the opinions of some of the most eminent among the French physicians, and says. in part: Generally speaking. all capable physicians know what dis bases are ineurable by their science in

Christian Golf Sect.

ChicagO Record HeraId.
 Golf and religion will be mixed for the benefit of body and soul by the members of a new sect known as Rev, George Cady. one of the best known Congregational divines in Iowa.
 pr. Cady. who is an enthusiastic golf er manages to play the game. it is al- legged without the use of profane lan- guage when he makes a mighty swipe at the ball and fails to hit it, and he thinks he can induce some other enthu- siasts to drop that most unnecessary adjunct. As health promoter, he de- clares golf beats the remedies proposed by Mrs. Eddy or Dowie.
 If you tack religion on to almost any enterprise 1t will soon attract a lot of followers" he said. T don't know anything that needs an admixture of religion worse than does golf, and, therefore, I have decided to organize the sneiety of Christian Golhsts."

spEfyTRAL Y0TERk.

We have read in the story books Of armies of spectres, ghost dances and other things of the kind, but Philadei- phia is the only city within our knowl. edge that has regularly maintained spectral poll list. For years that city has had thousands of voters whose votes are regularly counted and whose only legal residence" is in the ceme- teries. These voters do not walk up to the polls and cast their ballots, in the regular and authorized way. but their votes are counted just the same, and help to swell the Republican ma torities which always pile up on elec- tion days.
 One advantage of these votes lies in the fact that no one can challenge them at the polls. Those against whom they are always counted may have strong convictions on the subject, and may ex- press their doubts about there being as many voters in any specified voting precinct as the returns show. but whats the use There are inspectors and managers and returning ofilcers to cer- tify to the accuracy of the returns and that ends 1t. Doubling Democrats may be firmly convinced that they have been swindled. but that does no good. The voters who arc calmly sleeping beneath the sod cannot be brought before the courts and forced to testify, so the beneficiaries of the spectral voters are safe.
 Mayor Weaver and his co-workers in honesty are making strenuous and de- termined efforts to lay this vast army of ghosts, and they appear to be get ting along nicely with the job. More than three-score thousand names have already been found on the poll lists, which belong to the ghost family. and the investigation is not ended by any means. The total number may go up to one hundred thousand before 1t is finished, and so much will be accom- plished in the direction of honest cleo tions We suspect good Philadelphians will shudder when they learn what an immense army of spectres has been doing business among them. The con- ditions reminds The Boston Globe of this shakespearism: Tn the most high and palmy state of A little ere the mightiest Julius fell.

Japan's Demands Arc Just.

Editor The Advertiser:
 me to see t1s sse postosn Gt sreak taken BY most oe.os of or most onae on the ted between Japan and Russia Al; most without exception, So far as ] nave seen. these papers are pro-Rus- :, Ia < seems zen p .o me that all fair minded of the war must admit tbat Japan is nRhting the battles of all the nations. One of the demands made on Russia as with. the demand made on Russia by the leading powers of the world pre- vfous to the war.
 the demands of Japan are excessive but when we consider how shabbily she was treated by Russia after the. Chino does not further humiliate her dis honorable enemy.
 It will be remembered that after Ja- that she took Port Arthur and the Liaotung Psnins Ila as part indemnity for that war. She had no sooner oe- c,npsd this serritory before Russia other great rewers aelsaa ndine that Ia- pan immediately evacuate her newly occurred territory. This Japan was
 RussiaYzin looking about for a port that was free of ice the year round to make terminus of her great trans-Sib- Gi idu Idtuodus CdSl lUn6lnS 8lduCcS at Port Arthur and only awaited an op- portunity to seize this .porN This op- portunity came with the Boxer upris- Ing. She. with the ather powers pour ed her troops into Manchuria under the pretext of protection her. railroad which she had previously built through that province.
 When the Boxer trouble was over and the other powers withdrew their troops Russia on one pretext and then another kept sending more troops in- to Manchuria and strengthening the of Port Arthur. This ac- tion on the port of Russia was iL di :. rect conflict with her promises and treaties with the other towers
 No sooner had Russia overrun the province of Manchuria wi.l her troops and felt that she was secure in her holdings than she at once closed the ports to tke trade of tn. world.
 This, as understand it.was the cause of tho war, and. as sr.d above II ;s hard for me to sec how any one famil- far with the facts cah sympathize with Russia. 1 ... IL. B.

The advocates of local school tax have been very successful as nearly every county where the matter has come to a test has voted for the addi- tionai tax. The Counties of Tallapoosa and St. Clair vote on the proposition this week, the first on the 24th and the other on the 2sth. We sincerely hope they will add themselves to the honor roll. The Counties of Lee. Blount. coosa, Marengo. Butler and possibly others. will decide during September. If they should vote affirmatively more than one-half of the sixty-seven coun- ties of the State will have expressed themselves in the most positive way in favor of increased educational facili- ties.

it's present stage of development, but they cannot always be absolutely cer- tain that a patient is afflicted with 8 mortal malady, even though his symp- toms seem to point unerringly that way. Where there is any hope. however slight, that the diagnosis is wrong. no doctor will feel like taking the respon- sibilfty of giving warning of an end that may not come to bear out his pre- diction. It may be assumed. however. that the inquiry put to the French phy- sicians relates to cases about which there can be no mistake, but the men of medicine seem to have been cautious enough to limit their answers to such conditions. Besides. some of them were quick to admit the falihiiity of their profession. This was notably so in the responses of Dr. Armand Gautier ana Dr. Hervieux. The former, a member of the Institute. said that doctor should never, under any circumstances. tell a patient that he Is lost. for a doc- tor cen never know surely that the dis ease will prove fatal. In cases where he has ne Aes,ht he should tell the clos est relatives, but none else. If circum- stances force him finally to tell the pa- tient himself, then he should never leave out hope. or at least possibility. of return to good health. Dr. Hervieux declared that patient never should be told unless the case is absolutely des- perate, as, for instance, when man is hurt fatally in railway accident. In his judgment the category of certain cases is much more limited than is usu- ally supposed, and a great deal may be gained by letting a patient think he is going to live, whether the doctor be- lieves so or not. and many lives have actually been saved in that way"
 In our Judgment, this is not merely q matter of medical ethics, but of human ity. Hope should never be driven from the sick, even when the doctors have no doubt of the result. A sick man can be informed that his condition is danger oous, so that he may provide for the disposition of his earthly affairs. with out making the brutal announcement that death Is certain.

To Live to n Hundred.
Boston Globe.


 Scientists are telling us now that there Is no excuse for not living to a hundred years. One philosopher said the other day that children should be brought up with the admonition that they must endeavor to attain a century of life.
 There are. indeed. numerous in- stances where men have deliberately set an extreme old age as the goal of their efforts and have achieved surpris- ing results.
 There Is the famous case of Luigi Cornaro. the absolute Venetian noble man. who at 40. was told by physicians that his excesses had made 1t unlikely that he would live much longer He immediately adopted a systen of diet the reverse to that to which he had been accustomed and ate and drank only what was necessary to support life until he actually found that one egg a day was enough solid matter to con- sume.
 At 95 cornaro published a new edi- tion of his celebrated book. '"The Sure and Certain Method of Attaining a Long and Healthful Life" and in his 99th year. 1566, he passed peacefully away apparently more from ennui than any disease.
 Cornaro's Sure and Certain Method' it is interesting to note is the basis of all the advice that the scientists are giving today. namely, to eat less, and much less meat and live soberly. clean ly and cheerfnlly.

one of our readers whose veracity is above question tells the following: The part of the Cherokee Nation that a boy climbed a cornstalk to see how the corn was getting along, and now the can climb down. The boy Is clear out of sight Three men have undertaken to cut the stalk down with axes and save the boy from starvation, but It grows 90 fast that they can't hack twice in the same place. The boy Is living on nothing but raw corn, and al- ready has thrown down four bushels of cOhs.

IMMIGRATION.

And What The Alabama In.aaIgratlon
 Society Proposes to Do.
 will you please permit me to use your valuable columns to tell some- thing of what the Alabama Immigration Society is and also something that it
 It is an organization formed as a re- suit of a call for a conference issued large. attendance was present and the quarters in Birmingham.
 Its purpose Is to promote ipmigra. ton or the right sort. It is opposed to bringing into the State any who will not make good, law abiding citi- zens. It Is in favor of securing immi- labor for industries.
 The officers of the organization are E A 1naeksso1i 1nitcsai PrSstdept g;hirminsham bama City. and Joseph B. Babb. secre- tary. The Executive Committee Is made up of men. from all parts of the being very small. It is hoped the or ganization will be able to stimulate a sentiment in favor of immigration to pended by an immigration Combustion CT appointed by the Governor for the srats No membes of the committee mm nor any of the officers desire nor would any accept such position.
 10 tell a lew things that the society is not: 1t Is not & scheme to get labor for the Birmingham district any more than 1t is scheme to get labor for Montgomery or Mobile. 1t has never received nor has 1t been promised a dustries of this district. It does not lar of the States money. It is not composed of office seekers. II. does not cloak a scheme to dispose of land at a profit for its constitution expressly forbids 1t to engage in a money making enterprise. It Is not in the employ of the railroads nor has 1t received a dol lars contribution from that source. In Q nut shell. therefore, the Alabama State Immigration Society is an organization of representative men from all sections of the State banded together for the promotion pf immigration of the right sort to assist in the development of Alabama's marvellous resources.
 If there are any who read this who would be interested enough to go into the details of the organization, I will most cheerfully answer any question that may be propounded.
 Yours truly,

A pittsburg Controversy.

'T see a very interesting legal fight promises to come out the effort to known as the hump in Pittsburg.' said a travelling man yesterday. "As you know the hill bobs up at fear ful angle on Fifth Avenue. so much so that a man trying to walk up is liable to boot himself in the back of the head, or words to that effect, as they are prone to say in the Smoky citX; a. .u.,, ,,x nron erty owners along the approach to the hill who claim that their property will depreciate if the angle is improved by extending the hypothenuse. It is a Blackstone for settlement, 1t now looks to me. I am no lawyer and am sim ply guessing but the difficulty of as- certaining the frontage owned by the different property holders along the proposed elevation is apparent. will the court say that perpendiculars will be dropped to the point where mans front begins and where 1t ends? or will the property owner be entitled to a pro rata of the new hypothenuse based on the frontage he owns now on the level?
 T understand they propose to argue these points in something like con demnation proceedings in the Pennsyl- vania courts. Blackstone, you know, says that a man owns all the air straight up to the sky and all the dirt straight underneath to where we hope we're not going. This rule may be ap- piled in the controversy of The Hump

The Advertiser. Montgomery, Ala.
 Gentlemen:--In your paper of the 18th. you say that Hon. c. P. Almon. Hamilton. Ala, is the accredited Repre- sentative in the Legislature for Marion County. Ala. MT. Almon sold out here and moved to Russellville. Franklin County, Ala, about one year ago. The Judge of Probate here has long since made certificate to the Governor showing the vacancy on account of said removal. The people here are expect ing to elect a member to fill out the unexpired term of Mir. Almon. As 1t stands now Marion County has neither Senator nor Representative.
 In speaking of Senator 1t is a ques- tion whether Marion or Colbert County is entitled to the full term to which a member will be elected in 1906. By rotation 1t Is claimed by Colbert, but the member in the Constitutional Con- vention for the district was from Col Judge H and solicitor wi without 0 opposition % ".~:.s. c. F. Mitchell, Cor.

 The people have found the line be- tween the regulation of railroads upon a fair basis, and unreasonable demands. as there ever was for a fair adjust ment of railway freight rates. The people want to be treated right by the railroads, and they want to deal justly with the railroads in turn. They will not be likely to give a favorable ear to any proposition that will operate to retard railway building in Alabama, be- cause they realize that the railroads have done more than all other agencies combined to develop this State.
