 The long talked of artesion we'll in Tuscaloosa Is soon to be a reality. The J. O. Heflin Company has arrived in the city with all necessary instruments, which have been placed on Cotton Street just at the opening of Greens boro Avenue, where the well Is to be sunk It Is hoped that there will be no trouble in having a large flow.
 Rev. L. O. Dawson. the popular pastor of the First Baptist Church at this place, was called to preach the dedication sermon of the Mt. Vernon Church at Haywood. Kentucky, Sunday. Dr. Dawson was pastor of this church before he came to Tuscaloosa and made 1t one of the strongest churches in Kentucky. The members there nave just erected a very handsome edifice.

ALOsING EXPERIMENT.

Judging by an editorial in The New York Post municipal ownership has not proven a brilliant success in at least one city. That city is Elgin. H., which, has controlled and managed its electric lighting business for the past sixteen years. Estimating the present value of the plant at the lowest figures, each arc lamp has cost the city $96 year. Put ting the value of the plant at the high est fgures,-the cost of lamps has been $71 year.
 The city has given up the experiment and has made a contract with a trac- tion company to do the city lighting. Under that contract, the PAT lamps now in use are to cost $5s per lamp for year, additional lamps up to $50 at s4S and in excess of that number at SAP. This is quite a difference in cost. as- suming that the service is as good un- der the new system, and while the case is not a conclusive argument against municipal ownership, 1t at least shows that a municipality may not always be more economical in the management of its business than a private corporation can be.
 The truth of the matter is, as has been proven time and again in almost every section of the Union, a city is not always honest or economical in the management of its affairs. There are many more opportunities for graft in public affairs than under private cor poration, and there are always men ready to take advantage of them. It Is no conclusive argument to say that a city ought to be both honest and saw ing, for that is a theory to which all will subscribe, but the facts are not al- ways in accordance. Elgin Is an ex- ample of careless. ignorant or dishonest management. but some other city may reverse Elgin's record.

RAISE THE TAXES.

Already the Republican newspapers are laying the foundation for argu- ments in favor of higher tariff. The Chicago Chronicle estimates that the deficit for the present fiscal year will be not less than $35,000,0 1000. and may De more. It then shows that this deficit is not caused by temporary large ex- penditures, but argues that with the navy, the canal, irrigation. river and harbor Improvements. public buildings and other ways of spending money there is every prospect that the ex- penditures will grow faster than the revenues. We may be pretty sure, therefore, that Congress will deem 1t necessary to increase the taxes"
 From the Republican standpoint this is sound reasoning, and we may ex- pect 1t to be adopted by the leaders Of the party, if they think 1t safe to do SO. Not a word, it will be noticed, Is said about retrenchment No admis- sion is made that the expenditures have in many instances been licentious, nor is there a suggestion that 1t would be proper to cut down expenses. That would not be in accordance with Re- publican ideas of government Be liberal, spend money freely. and if the supply runs short raise the taxes. That Is good Republican doctrine ana we may expect them to practice 1t as long as they are left in power.
 For a while there was quite an ap- parent determination on the part or some of the most prominent leaders among them to revise and modify the tariff. but that seems to have died out They are afraid to do it for fear 1t VIII onen the door for Democratic success. IF the real friends of revision were as honest and determined as they once af- fected to be they might possibly have their way, provided they, too, are not afraid to tackle the question. Per- hans 1t will be better for the Demo- crats and eventually for the country if the Republicans will add to the burdens of the people till they can no longer be borne. Then will come the earth quake.
 It may be that an effort will be made to raise revenue by enlarging, extend ing and amplyifying the domestic tax system. Increasing the taxes on liquors of all kinds, and on tobacco products extension of the stamp tax, and vari- ous other methods can be adopted by a party which has both the power and the will to carry out its desires. may save the necessity of reducing expen- ditures. That Is an alternative which the administration will not look or with favor. The President himself Is disposed to look with disfavor on any thing like economy in public affairs He wants everything on magnificent
 scale, regardless of cost, and will bt
 much more inclined to increase taxes
 so as to have all the money needed
 to carry out his vast projects, than h'
 will to recommend reduced expendi'
 lures and a reduction of taxes. Int
 deficit is present and increasing, ana
 the party in power must deal with il
 and take the consequences.

THE RIGHT OF PRIVACY.

Considerable discussion has been raised by a recent decision of the Su- preme Court of Georgia involving the question of personal privacy. In this case a man complained because his picture had been used against his wishes and consent as an advertise ment It has not been great while since the Supreme Court of New York had before it a similar case and a ma jority of the Court held that there is no such right of privacy as would give a court a right to interfere. The Geor- gia court takes the opposite view and unanimously holds that there is such @ right. AS The New York Times ex- presses it, either there is a right to privacy on the part of the individual, which courts are bound to protect, or else that there Is here a glaring and anomalous exception to the legal rule that there is no wrong without a remedy. For surely nobody will seri- ously pretend that mere notoriety and as grievous as the denial of notoriety and publicity Is to others"
 It really seems that there ought not to be any difference of opinion in this matter. There are persons so con stituted that notoriety is almost as the breath of life to them. They can't exist without 1t and are not very par ticular as to how it comes, just so they can be always in the lime light, and this is true of both sexes. But there are others. especially sensitive women. who abhor publicity, and to whom the Haunting of their pictures before the public for commercial purposes is re- volting, for it is commercialism in a majority of cases that causes the pictures to be used.
 By what moral right, we may ask, does the maker of a garment, a medi- cine or anything else that is to be sold to the public. place the picture of a woman on 1t without her consent? They use the picture for no other reason than that it will increase the popularity and value of the article them. People have no patent on their features. 1t is true. but certainly ones face is one's own; and nobody has a right to print and sell 1t. either directly or indirectly. without consent of the owner. The Georgia court decided rightly and set a precedent that ought to be followed.

Not Even a Member of the Church.

NldHluut <AAh'B @'ARJ Ns ~SN~' Editor The Advertiser:
 AS pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at Clantont Ala, l feel it my duty to correct a statement that appeared in your paper short tune since It read thus: ''Tillman Adams or Clanton, who swore that he was a H. censed minister of the Methodist 'Epis- copal Church, South, was bound over to the United States grand jury yester- day morning on charge Of selllns whiskey without a license. The Meth- odist preacher practically admitted the charge against him, saying that he acted as an agent in the sale of the liquor for the accommodation Of ms neighbors." I have investigated the matter thoroughly and find that MT. Tillman Adams Is not even a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. South, much less a minister or IL. Please make this correction, as the former statement had a tendency to reflect on our ministry and church:
 J. T. Eckford, P. C.
 (The matter referred to above ap- peared in The Advertiser several weeks ago and was obtained by The Adver- tiser reporter from United States au- thorities partly and from the words of Tillman Adams himself. The item started out with the statement that Adams "swore he was a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church." and any mistake that was made is charge able to him.)

The trousers so from tight to loose and back again. The vest is sometimes made to button high up and at others it Is cut low. Sometimes the coat is a frock. a Prince Albert. or a sack. but these variations are largely owing to the tastes of the wearers. One form will be worn nearly all the time by one man and another will be stuck to by another man, and so it goes. It is a good thing that the fashions do not change every year. for in that case quite a number of us would generally be out of fashion. As it is. if man is rather hard pressed, he can wear the same suit as long as it is decent with out being criticised for not being in style.

 Tn this section of the country we rarely think of electric roads otherwise than as conveniences for town and city travelling. Our roads traverse the streets and reach out a few miles to the suburbs, but no long line has been built, though there Is talk of several in Alabama which ought to be built. What is being done in other places is shown by the fact that a trolley line from Chicago to Cleveland, 500 miles long. is now completed with the excep- ton of about seventy miles. which is about to be built. This will be one of the longest continuous electric lines in existence. but it is only the forerunner of what is certain to come. There is little limit to electrical possibilities.

CRuMPACKER REDIvIvUs.

It is pretty broadly hinted that we are bound to have a recrudescence of Erumpackerism next winter. That eminent misfit apparently can't get it through his thick skull that he is at least a quarter of a century too late with his crusade. There has been a time when he would have received all the support he wanted from the North En an effort to cut down Southern repre- Bentation, with or without cause. but that time is buried. That he will get eoine support and encouragement Is not to be doubted, for there are a few tn Congress who are as hopelessly be- lated in their sentiments as he. There are some Republican newspapers up there who do not deny that the South brn people should be allowed to- settle &he suffrage question just as the North ern people do, "but," they always add, sTf they cut down the electorate Con- gress should cut down the representa- kion."
 Doubtless some of them look on this As a real argument. They take no hote of the well-established fact that in some of the Northern States, Massachu- setts, for example, suffrage is founded pn education and intelligence, and that we are doing something of the same thing. That we have gone at 1t in different way is only a difference of de- kaiI. Crumpacker's first move, if we understand him correctly, is to get committee appointed by Congress to come down South and find out things For itself sort of smelling committee, as we might term it. The Richmond News-Leader rather thinks it would be glad of such visit, and says
 It would be found that the suffrage restrictions of the Virginia con- Stttution are SUI ssimHl1s nf ..sa to 1e 1etter G previous condition of ,servitude,"" and That they should tend especially to- himself as a citizen. They should en- courage in him an ambition to become educated and a property-oWner' and and conciusion, therefore. is that the nosing eommittee would go back with clearer head, from having inhaled the facts in fhe case, and flea in the ear, and as a result not only Congressman Crum- packer. but the fool fanatics that may have trained with him would be con- 4
 We don't know that there would be much harm done by the visit of conn anittee of this nature, except 30 far as khe Southern people would be outraged by the impudence of 1t. We do not Know that such a committee could be kormed, though 1t may be that there are though cranks of the Crumpacker stripe to put his scheme through. It is hven hinted that he expects to enlist khe President in his crusade, and that he is now in Washington awaiting Roosevelt's return in order to hold him tip and get his influence to help him.
 We hardly think 1t possible for him . 10 succeed in this last design. The President does some cratic things, and has not always shown himself fair to khis section, but unless he Is a bigger hypocrite than any one has accused him of being, we do not think he will Aend himself to Crumpackerism. After hiL however, we don't know that such h movement would make much differ ence. White men will control the South, politically and otherwise, even khough 1t should rain Crumpackers.

RESIDENTS INDIGNANT.
People of Worcester Object to Negro
 College.


 Worcester, Mass, Special.
 Residents of this city, particularly those in the vicinity of Burncoat Street. are stirred up over the recent purchase of land on that thoroughfare by Rev. J. H. Humphrey, for negro college. Deeds were passed yesterday announced last fall that he intended to build an institute for the inssrqc; after the lines of Livingston College at Salisbury, N. c. He made several attempts to buy property. but was told that the land was not for sale, or else the prices were set at prohibitive figures. After being frosted" out of Greendale. he tried other locations. but was discouraged from the very start. People thought he had given up the project and were amazed when they found he had paid $S0,000 for the Burn coat site, after effecting a compromise which provides that he must build within a specified time or forfeit the site. The matter is too far along now for any of the white residents to do anything, unless Humphrey fails to complete his title, but there is much indignation at the owner who sold.
