Recently the papers have told of Miss Evelyn Walsh, of Colorado, driv- ing an automobile at a speed of forty five miles Nan hour. 1t has not been forgotten that few months ago this young woman was one of a party in an automobile driven by her brother. The machine had not attained any such speed as that achieved in the Colorado Spin, but 1t was enough. The automobile went of the side of a bridge. The brother was killed and the sister so seriously injured that for a long time her life hung in the balance. After that were fears that she had been seriously crippled, and until very lately there was the pros pect that she would be permanently an invalid
 The young lady has evidently recov- cred her physical strength, but wheth- CT she Is mentally sound enough to have control of an auto is a question. There is nothing to show that there was any occasion for fast driving, and if she had killed some one she would have been a murderess. morally. at least. and 1t will be question with many people whether she should be suffered to thus endanger human life. However. she Is wealthy. and that will probably save her from being in- terfered with.

UNSIGNED COMMUNICATIONS

Frequently The Advertiser receives communications. addressed to the Edi- tor and intended for publication. with out any name tc them except a nom- de-plume. It is rule of the paper not to print communications unless the name of the author is given the Editor. not to be signed to the article, but as an evidence of good faith. There are several communications from unknown authors now on the Editors desk which cannot te printed because the writers failed to comply with the re- quirement mentioned. This will ex- plain to them the failure of their ar ticles to appear. and. 1t is hoped, may further impress the papers rule upon the public.

The Advertiser published on Friday morning portion of the remarks of Governor Jelks before the Alabama Press Association at its recent meet ing in Gadsden- The Governor spent many years of his life in newspaper
 work, and developed many of the strong points in his editorials. which have been emphasized in his high ex- ecative position He Is one of the few honorary member of the Association, and Is held in high esteem by all the members of the profession. He receiv- ed a great welcome from press and people present.
 It was happy thought of President Greer to invite him. and Senator Nor gan. to address the press gathering |. The Senator/ many years ago was made an honorary member, and his name appears first on the short roll of those thus honored. His address was a masterly presentation of what Ala
 bama was, and is and Is to be. N, man who heard 1t or read it could
 have other than the brightest hopes for the future of this State. It was literally marshaling of the assets of the State and clean cut statement of the way in which they can be made to bless all our people. He was warmly received by the great audi ence. which filled the court house. His presence was sufficient to demonstrate that he retains his strong hold on tha ,ffo.%fc,s .xf +hoa. l,a hos4 .n,x,aa so long.
 The address of Governor Jelks was along lines which should appeal to the intellect and heart Of every Ala bamian. It was an able and earnest appeal for the reign of statute law and protest against lynch or mob law under any conditions. There have
 been times in our State. when her citizens have been scandalized before the world. because of the acts of a Jew. He demonstrated that there
 were laws enough, but that in too
 many instances there was not the proper amount of public sentiment to
 secure their enforcement. It Is diff hcuIt to convict in many instances in
 this State. and very recent events prove that in some most aggravated cases sentiment arises to defeat the acts of Judges and juries. The close ! attention given to Governor Jelks by
 the audience which filled the court house and the frequent outbursts of applause which greeted his remarks showed that his hearers were in sym pathy with his utterances. It will, in- deed, be great day when white mur- derers are convicted and made to. pay I the full penalty of the law, which 1t must be admitted. cannot now be said We must stand before the world as
 community of people who administer
 the law equally and impartially upor all people without regard to their
 condition in life. That was the mes
 sage which Governor Jelks bore t, l the citizens of Alabama in his address | and it should be taken to heart and
 carried into effect by those upon whom rests the administration of justice. The great body of the people must
 understand that they have a great part to play in bringing about this happy condition and that is by up
 holding the majesty of<the law and
 the hands of those who try to enforce | 4 h ei aaa s l F

One of the bad effects which we were certain would follow the Insur- ance scandals and charges was that thege would be excited something akin to a general distrust of all in- surance companies. That this appre- nension was well founded Is shown by the following figures compiled by contemporary:
 According to the report of Superin- kendent Kelsey, of the New York State department of life and casualty and credit and mortgage guarantee insur~ iI saies has reduced the insurance busi- ness very generally. By the report, as carried in The Associated Press, carried ss.sss iess policies in ise5 than in 1904, the amount of insurance written last year showing a decrease of $151,724.s54. Moreover, 76,364 more 1s0a. ana ssS,54S.763 more insurance.
 ~The New York State companies" " said Superintendent Kelsey. issued 507,37S policies insuring S966,84S,S ,S9S, and terminated 430,25O policies insur- States issued 42O.s3s policies insulrIng sassfsssihs sosss insurns sns zsssO'
 This may be in accordance with nnreasonable and absurd. As well might we distrust all business men of every line because seme of them are dishonest. As a general proposi- tion the insurance business Is as safe as it ever was. and possibly more so, because the late exposures will cause greater care ana better methods. Peo- pie should not make the mistake of looking on all sheep as black because a few may be.

Cunningham for Governor; yet that ls the news which reaches The Herald, or flee from an unimpeachahle source.
 Evidences of the coming Cunningnam landslide are not wanting in other parts of the State. A
 One of the facts which might pc ta. ken as an indication of the way tne tide has turned Is the frantic activity In the camp of the Comerltes: Tnsse politicians are absolutely flooding the mails with special pleadtngs TOT tnelr candidate Wagon loads of utefa- ture" of the most biased kind leave the Conner headquarters for distripu- ton in all parts of the State, and the mercenaries are active in strange con trast to the "walk-over" claims or MT.

Governor Jellks's Great Speech.

The speech of Governor Jelks, de- livered here yesterday. was listened to by a large and appreciative audience. The address Is printed in full elsewhers in this issue and every sober minded thinking man will find therein much food for reflection. The sentiment among our people that faVors lawless- ness, no matter in what form or under what circumstances, should be crush ga and displaced by a healthy regard TOT the majesty of the law and its faitntul execution. Justice can never De ao- ministered by mobs whose acts are done in the heat of passion and blind, ed by prejudice. The most painstakine and careful inquiry does not always reveal the truth and. mistakes are Ire quently made which cost innocent men their lives. It could not then be sup, posed that an irresponsible body oi men, inhamed by rumors and misstate- ments would not be led into grave CT TOTS in the attempts at justice. Nc subject of greater moment to the wei, fare of the State could have engaged the Governors time and no class oi men can do more than the, represents tives of the press in creating a public sentiment that win force the discon- tinuance of mob violations Of law IT our State.

Of course politics we're kept more or less in the back ground, for every shade of opinion was there represented, either by editors or visitors, hut every now and then quiet and candid little talks took place. in which the real situation in Alabama was developed. Some of the strongest advocates of Conner predicted that his majority would be about 50.00O.
 Now there were others at that meet sng of just as much intelligence as 4he representative of The News, who would tell him and the public very different story from the one above given. The News representative was not on the ground exceeding twenty four hours, while others were there fully three days. We heard not only quiet but very outspoken talks as to the guhernatorial contest, and there was very decidedly in those that we heard, no such consensus as The News dives utterance to.

SILK CULTURE.
It's Slow Prograss in the United States in
Spite of Bounties

As early as 1872 French Hugenots in
troduced silk into Georgia, where lands
we're granted to settlers who would agree
to plant 100 mulberry trees to every ten
acres of land which they cleared. Seven
years later Parliament passed an act ex
empting from taxation silk grown in
Georgia or Carolina, and an Italian ex-
pert was sent out to establish a filature
Within a year the receipts of cOcOons at
this factory exceeded 10000 pounds,
while the quality of raw silk produced
brought three shillings pound in the
London market. Toward the latter part
of the century the culture of silk was
introduced into New England. Mans
field, Conn, became the center of an
important silk growing community and
proved the site of the first silk factory
in this country.
The Revolution. however. dealt a blow
to silk culture, from which it did not
recover until 1925. BY that time con-
gressional investigat ton had given an i'm
petus to it, putting the industry once
more on its feet Soon the culture of
silkworms became Il mania. Speculation
followed, and brought disaster to thou
sands who had invested their fortunes in
what promised to become one of the
great money making enterprises of the
times. The members Of the industry
