A Word on Disfranchlsement.

Birmingham Ledger.
 paper published in Alabama should not say that the Alabama constitution disfranchises 100000 white men. It is an immature thought. and Is a state ment that can not be justified. The con Stitution was distinctly made to dis franchise nc wihIe man. Every white man in Alabama. not only could have registered as a life voter but they were urged to do so. Newspapers and ora tors did all they could to induce these men to register. These Facts will not be disputed. The only obstacle placed in the way of a white mans voting was the poll tax he must pay to the schools children right around him. That Is no customed to paying it. The tax col lector used to pull 1t out of him every year. Now he pays 1t 0r not. as he pleases It Is no hardship; 1t is no new burden: the voter only has to pay it for twenty four years, aud he knows that the money doesn't go to the publis treasury to be paid in a way he disap- proves. It goes to the little children, and the white man who refuses to pay 1t should be ashamed.
 The white men who have come to the State since the constitution was adopted can easily register and become voters. There are not 10000 men in Alabama who can not register and be- come voters. It is a mistake to criti- Clze the constitution. It did not and does not. require one new thing of tnn voter. therefore It disfranchises no one, Ii is a good constitution, and there IS no flaw yet found in 1t.

The Advertiser publishes in another place in today's issue a carefully pre- pared and thoughtful article from The Baltimore sun, on the subject of the next Democratic candidate for Presi- dent. It will be many months before the issue is fairly before the people and there Is ample time in which Southern Democrats can reflect and take their bearings. Tn all the States there will have to be later expressions of opinion as to men and measures. so that present deliverances mean noth- ing. It is a mere waste of the paper on which the declarations are now written. If the Southern States act wisely, they will hold their conventions in 1908. select their delegates and ai- low them to go to the National Con- vention uhinstructed and free to act as their Judgment dictates. If they were to do this possibly when they get on the scene of action it would be found advisable to select Southerr man and cast their votes for him There Is no use to be in a hurry to tie up with instructions

Beer is a
 Temperance Drink
Statistics Will show That Its Increas- Ing Sales Bring Corresponding
 Decrease in Drunkenness.

To show the effect of beer drinking on the health, Dr. P. Bauer, of Berlin, a distinguished German scientist and professor, makes a report on the health of the 75 employees of German brewery. This report is of especial interest just at this time because of the increasing popularity of beer in the United States, as shown by the re- cent report of the commissioner of in- ternal revenue that during the past year the people of the United States drank 16o,0o0000 more gallons of beer than during any other year in the history of the nation, and there is less intemperance than ever before
 I speaking of the results of his in- vestigation, Dr. Bauer says:
 "Of the seventyfive employees. each of whom drinks over a gallon of beer daily, 56 have stood the rigid physical examination for enrolment in the German army and are soldiers; of the remaining eighteen, eleven are minors, three were found too small in stature and four were rejected for defects suf- fered by accident"
 Leading physicians have said there is no doubt whatever of the heaithful- ness of good beer, and most of them recommend Pabst Blue Ribbon. Bar- ley malt, the soul of beer. gives it cer- tain food value, and the small percent age of alcohol, only 1-2 per cent in Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. is an aid to digestion.
 In the brewing of beer, the richer the malt tfn more wholesome the beer. Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer is brewed only from Pabst exclusive eight-day malt. choicest imported hops and pure wa ter. Pabst exclusive eight-day malt Is grown from finest selected barley and grown slowly, without any rushed de- velopment, so that the malt retains all the food elements of the grain in pre- digested form This is what makes Pabst Beer the superior of all beers in food strength. It is always absolutely pure and clean, the most refreshing and nourishing beverage, the best beer for the home.

MT. Davis, of Walker, who intro duced resolutions in the State Conven tion in opposition to government own ership of railroads made this sensi- ble remark:
 Because we are Democrats is not a reason that we must accept and swal- low down everything which the Dem ocratic leader says to us. as law by which we must be guided In, our opinions"
 While what MT. Davis said applied to MT. Bryan, it might very we'll be considered as entirely applicable also to Mir. Conner, There are many mem bers of that Convention who read for the first time yesterday the declara- tions for which they voted Monday. They swallowed things submitted by Mir Corners factotum, which in their cooler moments they would oppose.

Tn a report of what took place in the. Conner conference in Birmingham last Saturday. General R. N. Rhodes. who presided over the meeting. Is re- ported as having said:
 want to say in the beginning that I believe that none of the onpos,tiou should be allowed to sit on the State Executive Cc-nmittee. They have not been considerate Of our cause in tho past and why should we recognize the men who have been the bitter enemies Of the fight that we have been wasing 2 for the people. In the words of Will liam Jennings Bryan. "the time has come for ts to cease begging and to command"
 The time has been, not far In the past. when General Rhodes could see nothing coming from Mr. Bryan that he would favorably quote. and if the friends of MT. Bryan in Alabama had been as intolerant as Mir. Rhodes has shown himself to be. towards those who do not agreo with him where would he be Tn Alabama politics?

 To our thinking the poll tax shoald be mandatory, like other taxes. They should be due and collectable each wear, whether the party votes or not; for the party who refuses to vote for cost ot poll tax, usually has the most children to educate, and is disfranchised because he will not pay a sl.S0 poll tax.

sounded in the following paragraph:
""The changes in the ecclesiastical
world, which are bringing about a
federation of work and a closer union
among all Protestant bodies, as well
as a larger tolerance of religious be-
lief, are not confined to the Western
Continent alone. Europe is expe-
'riencing a new religious life. Old
things are passing away; church and
state are moving wider apart in their
political alliances, while reaching af-
ter higher ideals of life and purpose.
The church is growing moreN demo
cratic as well as the state. AS the en-
swathements of centuries are cast off,
it enters upon a liberty of belief and
action which was the dream of saints,
but which is only now being realized.
The church everywhere is seeking to
deepen the spiritual life of the peo-
pie and elevate the ethical tone.
