THE STREET RAILWAY c0NsOLIDA-

It is probably unfortunate that the City Council has delayed the passage of an ordinance of some kmd by which the two street railways might connect up their tracks. Every body must ac- knowledge that the present owners of the Montgomery Traction Company have demonstrated that they are live. liberal and progressive, and that the service they have given in Montgo m- cry has been far better than any ser vice that Montgomery mas had hereto fore It was a fortunate thing for Montgomery that they made invest ments here, and it would be a very de- sirable-thing to have them make fur ther investments and extensions. On account of the density of the popula- tion it may be that the income from the street railway is not as large as other cities of the same size of Mont gomery. but Mir. Apperson and his as- sociates have our best wishes that their venture will be successful one and profitable enough to encourage them to make other investments in the community.
 The connection of the Ira cks will. of course. be of great benefft to the citf- zens who are patrons or the street rail- way and it is to be hoped that some agreement can be reached. which will be fair and equitable to the city and the street railway.

A NEW srYLE or ENGINE.

| Another of the promised innovations
 in travelling is what may properly be
 called a gasoline auterar, for want of
 a better word. though that doesn't ex- actly describe iN At any rate, it is & | new style of gasoline car which is ex
 pected to supercede the ordinary steam
 trains for long distances, and will also | take the place of electric cars, as they require no poles or wires, or other out side aids. Of the latest invention the Washington Times says: "it is simply a big street car, built to run on a steam
 railroads tracks. and equipped with it's own power. It makes very high speed and in repeated and difficult tests
 has proved that 1t is entirely practical.
 Gasoline is its power, and gasoline has been recognized for years as the cheap est motive power known, provided
 methods could be dev1sed to apply it 1 in effective and practical fashion. Ap- parentIy the Harriman car represents this achievement. It can be operated at an expense of IA cents per mile for
 power, according to careful calcula- tions"
 | The main advantage Of this kind of
 cars. if further trial proves them a. | success, will be over country roads
 where trains now run out seldom. In
 many sections where there are rail-
 roads the passenger trains run but
 once. or twice at most, each way in twenty-four hours. Usually the best is | a morning and an evening train each
 way, and the consequence is that a l wait of ten or twelve hours is neces- sary before one can catch train go- 1 ing in either direction. These trains
 may carry several passenger cars but 1 that is of no advantage in the way of saving time.
 Under the new order, Co use the words
 of contemporary. the automobile car
 could divide each of. these trains into 1 separate cars. One car could be run
 each hour during the day Every vill- l age could have a service approximat- | ing that which the street cars give cities, To miss one car would be an incident; the next would come along
 soon. The cars could make faster time than local passenger trains un-
 der present conditions. There would
 be no annoying necessity for expensive
 delays. People would be closer to their
 neighbors, trade would be immensely facilitated. and every benefit that fol- lows on the establishment of improved
 means of communication would ensue."
 While this arrangement, if success
 fully carried out, may to some extent interfere with our present trolley-car
 system which is becoming so universal
 in and around towns and cities, the lat
 ter will find plenty of work in pro- viding transportion in and near the
 cities. They may not compete with the
 gasoline ears for long distances, but they will find plenty of business in
 their present field of usefulness. The
 new invention will be watched with | interest, and may prove to be an in-
 valuable addition to our present trans l portation facilities.

THE STATE COMMITTEE MEETING.

It is evident that the State Conmit- tee which meets on Tuesday, the 9th inst. will have several matters out of the ordinary brought before it. The question of senatorial primary could properly be presented and acted on, and an effort will be made in that direction, A strong communication in favor of a general senatorial primary appears in today's Advertiser.
 Captain Hobson. issues letter which will be found in to- days paper, the purport of which a little reflection on his part. would have convinced him was in oposition to the State law. If a primary is held 1t must be governed by all the rules. regulations and safe guards that govern a regular election. No man who is not qualified by registration and payment of poll tax, if subject to said tax. can vote next November and the same, reason applying then will apply to ae primary held before that time. The State Com- mittee will hardly violate solemn law to please Capt. Hobsen or anybody else.

What Does It Meant

Editor The Advertiser:
 When the Democratic State Commit tee meets to provide for the holding State officers. will that committee al- so provide that each voter may ex- press his choice for two United States the next Legislature. Will the conl- mittee give the voters this opportupi- ty of instructing their members of the Legislature for whom to vote? It is the right of Democratic voters to have this still small voice in the selection of these important officials.
 Dr. Cunningham. one of the candi. Union Springs said, that if he were elected Governor and yancacy oc- cured for United States Senator. that certain the choice of the voters and that he would appoint to the vacancy whoever the majority or Ine nemo. committee refused to order such pri- mary he would then appoint whomso- ever he preferred. This was an extra a candidate so intelligent and well in- formed as Dr. Cunningham. It evinced timidity. Why did he not declare in same time as for Governor It is, ru- mored and believed by many that both Cunningham and Conner have their tav- orites to appoint to this all importanSS 
 these Senatorial aspirants Is to pre- vail on the committee not to have any expression of preference by the voters in the primary for United States Sem ators and that in the absence of any such instruction, the present Senator's would be reelected, probably without opposlttiiSn a1f iEom not then nrosaSIe that either of them would live during an additional term of six years, sld each aspirant thinks that If his fayorite IS elected Governor that he would ap- point him to the vacancy. 1T this ny pothesis be not true, why did not Mr. Cunningham declare himself In favor of an expression of preference at the primary for Governor for United States Senators? It may be that In such pri- mary. Senators Morgan and Pettus would be chosen to succeed themselves which would doubtless be, gratifying to them. It would most likely show the choice of the voters for others next after them which would indicate to as successors of the two faithfyl ser wants now holding these positions; What says Candidates Cunningham and Soer t9 primary apt ISr to Keow aoW they stand on a primary for Senators as well as for themselves. If they are not committed to appoint some taVor. ties to vacancies which may occur let each of them speak out and say so; and if they are not in favor of a pri" mary in which every voter may ex- them say so. It is charged by some that MT. Conner is aspiring to the Sem ate more than to the Governorship, as shown by his efforts to have men cleo ted to the Legislature who agree, With him on the regulation of rallroad freight rates. How is this MT. Conner? Let the Democratic voters have n voice in the selection of United States Senators. as well as Governor and State officers No such primary can be held unless the committee order 1t. The people desire it and 1t Is the right of the Democratic voters to have II. It is fair to all and unfair to none. Will the committee deny it to them2

Another Federal Judxe

Nothing pleases me more," remarked Montgomeery attorney yesterday. than to see from The Advertiser s Washington reports that Congression- al committee will, in few days, take action on the measure for the creation of another Federal Judge in this dis trict.
 If there is one thing we need, it is the services of an additional judge. mean no discredit to Judge Jones, but there is too much work for one judge, and 1t will be impossible to have judi cial business speedily dispatched in this court unless there Is a division of the work. I know of much litigation that would be brought in the Federal courts instead of the State courts if attorneys knew that the business would be as quickly disposed of.

It is probably meet and proper that the grafters and other criminals who held responsible positions with certain great corporations should follow the example of the leaves when winter comes and fall to the ground. Several of them have either turned loose and fallen of their own accord or have been shaken off at the demand of an arous- ed public sentiment. There arc per haps a few other rotten ones who will have to go and then there will be a new and healthier growth. Let the dead ones fall--the sooner the better.

 The next Legislature of Alabama should follow the example set by the late Constitutional Convention, in the publication daily of its proceedings verbatim. If lawyers must needs study decisions of courts, physicians must need have a literature of cases treat ed, the clergy must study the scripture, why-should not the American sovereign the voter, study precedents that either favor or imperil liberty. We don't know our public men well enough.
 What is the foupndation of Sena- tor Morgan's universal knowledge of 1t is the literature published by the government, that his duties compel him to read sarefully. It is a bound less source of knowledge.
 It would be great help to the press of Alabama to have laid before the proceedings of the State Legislature. Editors could then discuss men and topics with the certainty of being un- derstood. and their views would thus attain to an importance a dumb Legis- lature, so to speak cannot inspire. ord. good for thirty days. once in four years,

 Richardson. of the stA Alabama Dis- trict. used this language, in speaking of yellow fever and the national quar- antine proposition:
 While no man is more anxious to bafaish that dread disease from the yellow fever for ages to come than Sacrifice one of the fundamental prin- cfpies Of the state in it's domestic and local control.
 We regret that the voice of any Southern man in Congress should be heard uttering such extreme senti- meuts. and we have an abiding faith that he will find few of the members from this section to join him, nor do we believe that the sentiments expressed by him represent the true sentiment of the South. As we have on various oc- casions made plain, we yield to none in our devotion to the rights of the States, but in this case we agree with the Port land oregonian, which says:
 Tn the domestic affairs of the states the people have no wish that the Gen the help of the General Government, in flood. famine or pestilence, may be use flood. famine or pestilence, may be ust- full, and indeed may become indispensa- ble. It is not necessary to worry over Toss of local liberty" through such interposition.
 That expresses it--"fiood. famine or pestilence," and we might add, foreign invasion by armed forces. From any outside enemy the general government has the right and it is its duty to pro- tect all the people, and 1t is beyond dis pute that yellow fever is an outside enemy. The Judge fortunately lives in a section that is practically immune against yellow fever. but not all the Southern people are so fortunate. To a large section of this Southland it is real peril. and if the general gov ernment can keep it out or control it let it do so. We have no fear that the rights of Alabama will be effected or trampled on if a national quarantine system will keep Yellow Jack outside. The right of our State to be devastat- cd by an epidemic is \ right that we will gladly yield.

Peaple in New York are raising a vigorous kick over cold storage poul- try, and discussing the matter The Chi cago Journal says:
 No person of middle age needs to be told that the turkeys and chickens and game we get nowadays do not taste as their ancestors used to taste when he was young. Instead of being fresh and juicy their flesh is dry, flabby and almost without flavor That is because it is exceptional to get fowls that have not been preserved in cold storage for long periods waiting for q rising mar kCt. As it is the universal practice to place fowls in storage just as they come from the aX of the executioner- that is to say, containing all their en- trailS-thc practice is properly de- scribed as being unwho1esOmc disgust ing and unsafe to health and life. Death and illness due to toxic infection are becoming very common and most of it can be traced to the use of food that has been kept in cold storage; not only fowls, but also fish, vegetables and fruit Nothing is more certain than that it Is mistake to suppose that cold permanently arrests the process of decay. Food placed in cold storage undergoes chemical changes that make 1t extremely dangerous if it has been kept there long.
 It Is not reasonable to suppose that even dressed poultry, if kept long in cold storage, will he as palatable as a freshly killed and oressed fowl is. but when they are killed and kept for

Rev. W. F. McMurry, D. D., pastor of Centenary Methodist Church, St. Louis, passed through the city yester- day morning en route from New Or leans to his home in St. Louis. While in New Orleans he delivered several lectures to the Louisiana Conference on The Problems of City Missions on which he is the best informed man in the Methodist Church, because of his maryeious success as pastor of one of the largest downtown city churches in the South.
 He had breakfast here with some of the city pastors at the depot dining room, and talked interestingly of many matters now in the thought of his church.
 Dr. MeMurry is a live. progressive man, and from birdseye view of the whole field he expressed himself as hopeful for a forward movement along several lines at the approaching Gem ieraI Conference at Birmingham in May. Himself a genial companion, an alert observer, an aggressive worker, con summate leader, a loyal and enthusi astic Methodist born and bred, he will be a commanding figure in that Gen eral Conference.
