National Quarantine.

Jacksonville Times-Union.
 The Montgomery Advertiser, reply ing to the remarks of Congressman Richardson, of Alabama, that he would rather fight yellow fever for ages to come than sacrifice one of the fun damental principles of the State in it's domestic and local control" replies The right of our State to be devasta- ted by an epidemic Is a right that we would gladly yield"
 that the rights of Alabama will be af- fected or trampled on if q national quarantine system will keep yellow sensible people will take of the prop osition to establish a national quar- antine.
 If some enemy of the States rights American political principle ridiculous he could do no better than take the position Judge Richardson and some other Southern Democrats have taken, portation facilities should be thrown into ,the widest disorder whenever vel low fever appears and condition Dor dering on anarchy, is so foolish that it would not be. tolerated if it were not that the outbreaks of the fever are separated by wide intervals of years.
 If the framers. of the Constitution contemplated such epidemics as those of yellow fever, they would, no doubt have inserted in that instrument some such provision as that relating to in terstate cohmerce Ana southern del- egates would have consented.
 That State quarantines must clash and, therefore, are ineffective was suf- ficiently shown last summer; That proper regulation of travel to and from infected districts is best placed in federal hands, is the sober conclu- sion of many. The saving of innocent human lives is something too sacred to be abandoned at the call of those who are over jealous of the supposed encroachments of federal power.

PREVENTS TRADING.

The provision of the Committee for the selection of alternate Senators, who are to be appointed in the event of a vacancy. may be bad thing. 1t may not appear seemly. and it gives cheap demagogues an opportunity to rant about administering the political es- tate of living men,
 But there is one thing worse. These same political estates could have been administered in dark room with thrse men present behind locked doors. X candidate for Governor could have run his race with prospective United States Senator slowed away under his coat. A newly-elected Governor could have gone into the Executive Office with a United States Senator hidden away in his clothes.
 In the one case the people do it; iu the other. traficking politicians would have done it. If the selected United Btates Senators live out their terms well and good. but in the event there Should be vacancy, man selected Dy Dhe people will become their Senator. 1t is all open. frank and out in the sun aght. It may not appear seemly, but it sS infinitely better than the evil. for She eradication of which it was con peived. It is infinitely better than a selection of a United States Senator in whispered star-chamber caucus. It As at least honest and straightforward.
 Why any man who favors the pri- mary selection of United States Sena- tor should oppose it we can not appre- eiate or understand.

A DISSATISFIED VAIL.

i On this page will be found an article | from The Birmingham News, which con- demns most of the work of the State speaks for itself.
 | The Advertiser has never given any indication of belief in a Senatorial pri- mary. On the contrary, it has often set out it's opinion that Senators repre- sented the States and should be chosen
 in the way marked out by the consti- I tuition. It is very evident, however. that the overwhelming Democratic sen- timent is for Senatorial elections by the | people, and recent National Democratic Conventions have so declared. It is not, therefore. to be doubted that opin- ion in that direction will grow. how I ever much some may think to the con trary. If it Is settled party policy, all might as well accede to 1t. as gracefully or ungracefully as they can.
 l The Committee ordered primary ex- pression of opinion as to United States Senators for the terms beginning March
 4. 1907, and March 4. 1909, to be given to
 the Senators and Representatives who will be chosen for the Legislature next | November. In addition, it is provided 1 that an expression of choice for any Senatorial vacancy that may occur, be | given by the voters of each county. It
 is clear and explicit that whoever shall | be designated must be elected to the Senate and whoever is designated for | %t~o Governor. As to the vacancy propo- | sition, it never appeared so us as alto-
 gether the proper plan for reaching conclusion, but the case was certainly presented in very able way by Mir. Whitson of Talladega, in his remarks
 submitting the plan for, a primary,
 which was adopted by the Committed 1 It can be truthfully said that perhaps l just such conditions as exist in Ala
 bama have never existed in any other
 State and are not likely to ever occur
 in Alabama again. If Senator Morgan
 is reelected and lives to the end of
 his term in 1913, he will be S9 years
 of age. If Senator Pettus is re-elected
 and lives to the end of the new term
 he will be 93 years of age That
 belief exists that in the natural order
 of events, one or both may pass out of existence during a new term, cannot
 be denied. There is no need for any attempt at conceaiment of such belief, and it is to this fact alone, we are per-
 suaded, that the provision providing for
 expression by the voters as to Senato-
 rial vacancy was inserted in the plan.
 We cannot understand why The Bir-
 mingham News should attack it as be-
 ing in opposition to MT. Corners inter-
 ests Can it be that Mir. Conner was ex- pecting to trade on the possibility of l it's being in his power. if elected Gov ernor, to appoint two new United States
 Senators? Can 1t be that any of his
 supporters were cherishing the hope
 that the coveted honor might fall to
 them and that their hopes are now dashed to the ground? The same re- l strictions apply to pr. Cunningham. or
 to any other candidate for Governor that apply to Mir Conner, and 1t is we'll
 for the State that this power of trading for positions not yet vacant cannot be utilized by candidates for Governor.

THE PEOPLE ARE COMPETENT.

Capt. Frank White is reported by The Birmingham Age-Herald as saying of the State Committees plan for a Senatorial primary:
 q think the committee had no right to take the action," says Captain White. 'To say the least of it, it is hardly re- spectful to our Senators whom we are about to elect, to anticipate their death before the expiration of their terms. It presupposed that the people of Alabama are not competent to select Senators who can live through their terms"
 This is rather queer talk from Capt. champions of Senator Morgan four years ago in his successful effort to get the people to instruct their represen- tatives in the Legislature for him as the peoples choice. It seems to us that Captain White is dead wrong. The plan does not presuppose the incom- potency of the people to choose their Senators wisely, but, on the contrary, emphatically presupposes that they can. The truth of it is that the Com mittee plan is in the interest of the peo- pie, and not in the interest of the poli- tlcianS. IL IS Qulte sure 10 ensure the return of the peoples choices, and not the preference of any one man or a CO., terie of men.
 The idea of this plan being disre- spectful to Messrs. Morgan and Pettus is ridiculous. Both of these favorites of the people of Alabama are pretty sure to be renamed under the Commit tees plan, whereas without it there might be all sorts of chances for politi- cal trades and combinations against them. This possibility is knocked in the head by the Committees action and this may be the reason there is 2riti- cism of the plan. as reported in The Age Herald. at Washington. and some leaders here at home.

That Ancient Wharf.

Commercial bodies have resolved to have new wharf and prominent scit- izens have signed hundreds of peti- tions to have the few boards at the foot of Commerce Street displaced by something more substantial" said a we'll known citizen yesterday. But those old boards that have been term ed a wharf ever since the river which flows past Montgomery has been named Alabama, continue to disgrace our city. I saw today man, once prom inent in Montgomery, who has been away from the city many years. He was in a retrospective mood. He glanced at the new depot as we passed through and I heard him congratulate the city on getting rid of the little shack that used to greet our visitors. AS he glanced up Commerce Street there was nothing familiar on the busy thor oughfare. The changing cars, the bustling trucks, the busy people were all out of place in his mind. Suddenly he turned his eyes to the north and as he did so the smile that greets an old friend flashed over his face. He heaved a sigh and turned to me, say ing: Fifty years ago came to Mont gomery on an old time steamboat I can see nothing of today to remind me of the Montgomery of that day save the old wharf. Of course it has worn a bit since that time, but it's the same old wharf. When are you going to build a new one| I think it's time to build. "

An uu.atisfactory Plan.

blTHlIHS nam NCWS.
 The State Democratic Executive Committee met yesterday in Montgom- cry and promulgated It's plan for tho nomination of candidates to De voted for in the November election. It IS disappointment to everyone except to the friends of certain favored candi- dates and of continued railroad dom- nation of the politics of Alabama,
 There are few provisions. however yer which may be commended. viz: a pri- mary on August 2Tth for the selection of candidates for State offices; the rec ognition of the primary ordered for the selection of candidates for the United States Senate; of tho con- the wishes of the people by Senatorial and Legislative districts: and ths opportunity, slight as it is. af- forded the rank and file of the Dem ocracx to choose successor to the State Democratic Executive Committee in the State convention on September
 The plan will be generally con- demned because:
 It defies the spirit of the constitu- ton, in making possible the holding of many elections throughout the State. by permitting Congressional commit tees, Senatorial district committees and county committees, to name other days prior to August 27, for primaries;
 It suggests the re-introduction of the convention system. indirectly by per- tnfttlnE minor committees to OTuef con- ventions. it they see fit. and directly by ordering a State convention for Sep tember 10, for the nomination of Jus tices of the Supreme Court, upon the assumption that lawyers will be the most interested, attend in larger num- bers, and overwhelmingly dominate it's action and name State Executive Committee:
 It offends a nice sense of propriety in ordering an election for dead mems shoes" while the distinguished Sena- tors of Alabama are alive and active and standing for re-election:
 It is open to suspicion that it was framed and fashioned not for the in- terests of the Democracy but the inter ests of faction and individuals:
 It contains several innovations" in parliamentary phrase that promise dis cord. and put a premium on sharp prac- tice;
 It lays a predicate to fight Conner and legislative candidates In sympathy with him, in detail. and by chicanery. if not by power. to defeat the will of the peo- pie;
 And there are other reasons. too.
 The situation is to be greatly deplor- cd

that Alabama's two illustrious Senators shall be kept in the Senate, and this decision will practically be made with out dissent The first race will there- fore be uncontested but the race over possible vacancies will be contested to the finish. It may become hotter than the gubernatorial race.
 Until announcements are made 1t IS impossible to say how many will enter tho race for possible vacancies, but public expectation will be surprised II there are not at least half dozen aspirants, each of whom will be eN- pected to stump the State, as well as pay his prorata share Of campaign ex- penses.
 The candidates for Governor, too, are to be pledged to respect the decision of the voters in relation to suggested vacancies. and any aspirant for Gov ernor who does not do this will nave to get along without the aid of the or ficial ballot. The plan of the commit. tee may seem at first glance somewnat complex, but it Is we'll fortified at all points and it will prove satisfactory n actual operation, for 1t gives the lndi- vidual member of the party the rec dom and the power he has long sought:

LOYALTY SHOULD BEGIN AT HOME


 The Birmingham Age-Herald of yes terday endorses the State Committees s recent action in the strongest terms, as will be seen by the reproduction of its leader on this page. It will be observed that its conclusion is as follows:
 The Committee has acted wisely and it's plan will be Loyalty supported by the Democracy of Alabama.
 We suggest that The Age-HeraId be consistent with itself, and persuade it's reporters and correspondents to be equally loyal 10 the plan of the Com nittee On it's first page yesterday it's Washington correspondent criticised the Committees action unfavorab4y. It Is arraigned as "gruesome" under heavy headlines. Then in its local news col umns there was a column and a half roast of the Committees plan. Our contemporary seems to be talking one way and permitting it's news columns to work the other. Probably this is an oversight. but it is a serious one. Loyalty. like charity. should begin at home.
