 The idea IS sedulously cultivated by a, few politicians of the doubtful stripe that the newspapers are fighting Co- mer and supporting Cunningham. The people should have their eyes open to this trick, for it is a trick with a pur- pose in 1t. The implication Is that the railroads.
 matter Stand as to the fact? Before Mr Conner announced, and while he was ,anvassing the state to fire the public mind with prejudice. against the rail- math, hardly less than thirty newspa- pers in the State sounded his horn Jumping into the political arena for him and in the rush carried few Dem MT. Corners friends have us believe that these newspapers were bought up by them? yet it is a fact that though Dr. Cunningham announced his candi- dacy first in circular letter address ed to the people requesting the news papers as courtesy and as information to the people, tO circulate in supple mentary form and furnish free of ex- courtesy with howl of rage, and when Mir Conner made his Tuscaloosa speech II some how or other got into all these papers in their own type, set by their own printers. at their own expense Courtesy of course 10 Mir. Conner. Now we defy these implicators of the Cum nlnSham papers to produce single case of money furnished by the rail roads or Cunningham for newspaper support, or where the railroads are furnishing passes for such support
 The support pr. Cunningham receives at the hands of a few newspapers only is loyal democratic support freely giv- en in the interest of the public welfare and it is to be deplored that SO many of the old guard remain neutral. while MT Conner, with a wallet of bank notes in his pocket turned loose would fill d stove pipe hat, can go over the State, turing insinuations -at Democratic leaders and depreciating a democratic reconsideration to 1ntlaIe his own gu Rcrnatorial bubble.

And What Railroads and Newspapers
 Are Doing. "Fydftor AdVertiser


 Editor Advertiser.
 Decatur, May 31.-I want to give you a few reflections on the progress of our country. 1 was born in Vir- ginia, in 1926, and came to Alabama in 1850. and lived In Tuscumbia in 1851 At that time there were but two rail- roads in the State, one from Montgom- cry to Atlanta, Ga. and one from Tus- cumbia to Decatur. Alabama, the lat ter only forty-three miles long. The latter part of 1851 I made Decatur my home. The town had a population of 500 persons. Since that time I nave been postmaster under MT. Buchanan and railroad agent for the Nashville and Decatur, under Colonel Sloss. 1 w9s first agent of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad at this place in 1872, and until they got to running to Montgomery. What astonishes me is to see what Improvements these News Boy Trains are bringing to the coun- .ry. They bring newspapers by the thousands, and carry local travel by good, and kinfolks visit one another every day. because they can get trains going and coming. I am now about SJ y-ars ola, anu I can comprehend the grandeur and greatness of our railroad system. l really believe the Capitol City will get to 100000 by 1910 Go on with your good work.
 Very truly. etc,

 cord.
 As a result of the Democratic filibus- terer in the House, the Statehood fight will he again shifted to the floor of the House and Senate. The conferees have decided to submit a report recom- mending the incorporation of the Fora ker amendment, giving New Mexico and Arizona the right to vote on the ques- tion of uniting in one State.
 Speaker Cannon, representing the House machine, and Senator Foraker, representing the dominant Statehood group of the Senate. have been unable to agree on the Foraker amendment and the pressure on the Speaker for some kind of action has become too strong to be resisted.
 Senator Foraker declares he will not grant the concessions demanded by the House The House machine will en- deavor to have the House conferees in structed to stand pat and the old fight between the insurgents and Republican leaders will be renewed If Mir For aker succeeds in holding the Senate vote, the House will be compelled to recede or further embarrass Western Republican Representatives whose seats have been Jcopardized by failure to act on Statehood

The country is familiar with the White House episode a few months ago wherein Assistant Secretary Barnes was conspicuous for brutal treatment, in the ejectment of Mrs. Morris from the White House. Barnes was rewarded for his brutality by be- ing appointed Postmaster at Washing ton to the disgust of good people of that city. Among other things relied on to bolster the President and Barnes was a statement from an Asheville (N. O. doctor that while there, she was suffering from a mild form of in- sanity. Now comes out the fact, pub lished by The Washington Star. that Mrs. Morris was never in Asheville and had never seen or heard of the doctor there It was evidently another woman whose mental infirmity was relied on to work to the advantage of the President and his superserviceable Secretary Barnes. If Barnes is confirm ed postmaster at Washington it will be scandal and discredit to the gov ernment.

Summer Fruits and Melons.

Summer fruits and melons are be- ing rushed to the markets said a Montgomery fruit dealer. We began Thursday receiving cantaloupes from Florida and a car load of watermelons are expected tomorrow. We could have had watermelons ten days ago hut we were afraid to handle them SO early.
 The supply of melons this season promises to be very large and I have little doubt that 1000 or 5000 car loads of them will pass through Mont Eomery en route to the Northern mar kets.
 Most of the early melons come from the extreme Southern part of Florida and they are much in demand.
 Peaches are coming on the market rapidly and home grown apples will begin to appear soon. The supply of fruits and melons will more than fit the demand"

Newspaper Editors Honored.

T noted with pleasure that the State University at Tuscaloosa conferred the degree of LL D., on Major w. ". Screws" said the pastor of a promi- nent Montgomery Church yesterday. Tt was the eminently proper thing to do, 1t seems to me, considering that Major Screws Is one of the oldest and best newspaper men in the State, and, that the honor should have been conferred On the seventy-fifth anniversary of the University, makes 1t all the more ap- preciated by his friends.
 Two ether good Alabama newspaper men received the distinction, R. N; Rhodes of The Birmingham News and Erwin Craighead of The Mobile Regis ter.
 Major Screws's career as a news paper editor has been one of which not only Montgomery and Alabama are proud. but such as to receive the praise and commendation of people and press of the whole country, and we appre- ciate the honor that the State Univer- sity conferred upon him."
