Cunningham and Railroad Regulation Opplika Post

Dr. Cunnlngham's record on freight regulation has been perfectly consis- tent and always in favor of the people.
 Ir 1881 he was a representative from Franklin county, and made a strong fight to give the railroad commission
 mandatory power. Ip. 1893, he thor oughly supported the Boykin bill, which attempted to confer much pow governor and presiding officer of the Senate, he united the vote in making the railroad commissioners elective by the people.
 An examination of the journals of the House and Senate will show that every vote he ever cast on these subjects was commission and freig.t regulation. Dr. Cunningham was advocating these reforms long before Conner was known in this connection.

 Life in Panama One Grand Sweet Song. Baltimore stfn ss~r'H Let the Poultney Bigelows hang their heads and the muck-rakers hang the muck rakes on the weeping willow trees. For they shall be cut down, they Hon. Thomas P. Shonts, the $35.o0o chairman of the Panama Canal Com mission. has himself been down to Panama and looked 1t oyer As an entirely unprejudiced and disinterest- President that Is enough to convince even the calm, judiciallyminded Mr. Roosevelt.
 From this report we learn that the isthmuses he ever visited; that he has found Mr. Shonts should keep on do- ing what he thinks best. We learn that the Panama water is getting to be fine and is wet enough to flow at freight block has been so nearly clear ed up that you can see the railroad; {; that the mosquitoes have been chok- ed off or chloroformed; that the cities pavements and waterworks in good order; that the Government hands are getting plenty to eat and the cooking Is good; and he finds the music and the dancing in the parks above par. As must be a cross between Battle Creek and Coney Island. where life is ''one grand, sweet song.".'
 This Is the most important and dif- ficult part of the enterprise, MT. Shonts assures us.
 If Congress wants a canal dug. he now reminds the legislators that they must speak up and tell him how lhey want 1t cut and just what style they try, and he thinks 1t a right good place to build a canal

A heal state FaIr.

h 1s~1A D<->s~ . ~~T~'
 The Daily News has always contend ed that the proper location for a State Fair was t at the State Cap1toiMon.- anx rsssons two of which are enough to name. viz: The central location. making It easy of access to all of the State, and the fact that the Southern portion of the State is the great agricultural sec- tion which such display and gather ing will benefit.
 tiaI citizens of Montgomery have now assumed the management of real State Fair to be held in Montgomery. The News believes that these gen bition as will be of vast benefit and profit to the people of the entire State. II hopes and believes; that they will make of the annqa sbaas be-one of education and help to the agricultural and manufacturing :, in- terests of the State-apd not c9llec- racers and skin game gamblers gather ed to harvest the dollars of the as-- sembled crowds The News hopes and believes that the sosts stata of the an t broader lines than simply to assemble large crowds in the city to patronize
 The first fair will be held: this year and 1t rests with the people of Montgomery and the managers of the initial meeting to make 1t such suc- cess as will assure it many years of profitable continuance.
 Both The Montgomery AdvertiSSr r and The Evening Journal have done excellent work for that city in creat- ing and fostering public sentiment in favor of the fair They can do much more and better work, for their city by insisting that the fair be made. and kept. as it should be.
 The News congratulatesi Montgom- cry on the good work so far done {: We hope 1t will be continued and shall look forward with pleasure to aiding the fair in every possible way Here's to the State Fair at Montgom- cry. It is the peoples fair and all of the people should join in making 1t the greatest and best in the South.

The managers of the Bell Telephone system need not lay the 'fIattering unetion" to their souls that refusal to great franchise for another line is due to perfect satisfaction with the service now rendered in this city. It was because of the intermina- ble confusion and trouble and expense that will follow in the wake of another line that the petition was de- feated. The Bell Company can make itself absolutely solid 1ere by correct ing some of the evils that exist.

There is a singular anomaly at Washington. The Military Committee of the House, which initiates legisla- ton affecting the army. is composed of members who believe in the army and are in favor of It's progress, The Naval Committee is friendly to the navy. The Committee on Invalid Pensions Is friendly to the pensioners. The Com nlfttee on Agriculture Is friendly to the farmers. But the committee which controls the greatest branch of the pub lie service and the one of most im- portance to the public-the Post-Of- fice-is under leadership hostile to that service and opposed to It's improvement

FilIine MT. Bsnkhead's Place

Birmingham Age Herald.
 When MT Bankhead leaves the House at the expiration of the present Congress his long and efficient service on the rivers and harbors committee will be missed, and Alabama will have no one in line for a place on that great committee in the Sixtieth Congress. She will have no one unless the dele gation and all others interested agree upon member to step into MT. Bank heads shoes. Until the Warrior is opened 1t seems but just that the place should be accorded to a man who rep resents Warrior river district. George w. Taylor livessat Demopolis, and in the Sixtieth Congress he will he one of the veterans, for he will then be serving out a sixth term. Mir. Taylor has served longer in the House thans either MT. Richardson or MT. Burnett, and his claim to place on the rivers and harbors committees is, therefore. one of seniority as well as of location.

MT. Conner says as a cotton manu- facturer he might think cotton at live cents q pound would be fair price, but as seller he would think twenty cents about right. As he manufactures im- mensely more than he raises and con- seauently has to buy more than he sells it Is easy to see where his in- terest is, when 1t comes to a clash between manufacturers and raisers of cotton. He says all men will follow their interests regardless of anything else and therefore according to his own declarations he is for low priced cot- ton.

According to sn editorial in The Randolph Star there is now on foot a proposition by the Central of Georgia Railroad to extend it's line from Roa- noke to wedowee, and a meeting of citizens of the latter town decided to furnish sites for the terminals and al- so to aid in securing rights of way be- tween the two places. If this project succeeds it will be great thing for Wedowee and for a fine section of country between that town and Roa- noke.

The woman who Is posing as Madame Gorky told the New Workers that in Russia when husbands and wives wish to separate they simply
 do SO; and if they wish to marry again they simply announce the fact of such marriage to the world She goes on to say that this practice has become so common that the government rec ognizes it by validating any such mar riage after it has existed ive years and by making the children legitimate. If this 'off again, on again" system of marrying and unmarryihg is so conn mon In her country it is possible that she thought 1t the custom in all other countries, and her violation of Ameri- can customs was merely through ignor- ance in the first instance, but that does not excuse her continued violation of decency while here.

 No man in the state did more for negro disfranchisement and while su- Fpremacy than he did In every county heard in favor of the new constitu- tion and white supremacy. He knew the adoption of that constitution was the greatest political revolution in our state, since the right of suffrage was eonferrec upon the ignorant, purchase able negro. The Republican, party gave them suffrage to huiilliate and mortify the white men of the south, and Dr. Cunningham did his full duty to rigat that great wrong.
