NOT INCONsIsTENT.

In The Manchester CN. H.) Union we find this editorial. headed "A Seeming Inconsistency:"
 Booker. T. Washington, who is in New York for the purpose of raising S1, soc, GOO for the TuskeGee. Institute, of which he is President, Is said to have explained why he came North 2n this errand, as follows: It's like the story of the old Maryland darkey who went to his employer and asked lor some change: Get away Tom. an- swered the employer. Why do you come to me for money " " eiL ,,HI,, SDu scratching his head earnestly, you knows dat when I goes. wifi de gun after ducks, l goes whar de ducks IS, trates Washington's diplomatic tact. There is a lot of money in New York, and smooth words are more potent than stump-puller in craving u out leaves something unexplained He in inmates that he wants money, and that | in order to get tt, he goes where money is, So he leaves Alabama and comes
 It was only few days ago that The l Engineering Record, In an article ex- ! plotting the South, commented st length | on the fact that the fourteen Southern states are now richer than the entire country was in 1860. Only last Tues day, The Nashville Banner, in an edi, tOFiAi on 1foRNH O1 tue oShkiis tstH | of the great work done by that section in railroad building during the iasl | few years, and added: These figures l show that the progress In the soutt l has been within the last twenty -five years proportionately greater in some l essential respects than that of the re- mainder of the country And yet 1 Booker T. Washington deems it neces. sary to come North in order to md money! --~
 If the people of the North were ex- pending millions Of dollars every year to educate a race that pays very little educational taxes or expenses it would not be SC easy for Booker Washington | or any other colored man to get their money for his college. Alabama has for a generation borne nearly all the expenses of negro education and the negroes themselves have contributed very little of 1t. Under such etrcum' stances, 1t is not strange that our peo-
 pie do not contribute the large amount

SATURDAY. JANUARY g, 1908.
THE GroRGIA PLAN.

We sec much in the papers about the Georgia primary. A primary on State officers of the kind that decides things in Georgia would not receive a mo- n1ents consideration in Alabama. IL is not primary in the common accep- tatiop- of the term. It Is limited only to the counties and stops at the county line. The Democratic voters of each county vote their preference for dele gates from the county to a State Con- ventien, but indicate to the delegates for whom they shall vote for Governor and other state officers.
 The same principle applies here in Alabama in the matter of expressing choice for United States Senators, as the voters in each county in the coming primary will designate to their mem- bers of the Legislature for whom they shall vote for Senator for the terms be- ginning March 4, 1907 and March 4 <1sos.
 The vote for alternate Senators, how ever, is to be on the straight primary plan, and every vote will count. Those . receiVing the hlBnest Note Tn the oHuFe State will have the instructions of the voters to the Governor to appoint them 10 any vacancies in the office of Senator that may take place before another meeting of the Legislature. D.F
 It is more than probable that there will be other names than those of the present Senators before the voters Oi the different counties at the coming primary. -..

NO SEAT, NO PAY.

St. Louis proposes to try to regulate the over-crowded car situation. At least, there is bill before the Council which provides that the conductor of a street car must nnd seats for all who get on his car. and if any passengers are forced to stand up. no fare. shall be collected from them. We appre- bend that such a law and it's enforce ment will be the Cause of no title trouble Probably there is not street railway in any city where the cars are not crowded at some time. There are so many occasions where an unusually large number of people want to ride on the fi-st car going their way that no forethought or preparation on the part of the operators can prevent crowding at some time. Shall the conductor, when all tho seats are filled, refuse to allow any other person to get-on? Could he succeed in doing so, and if he does succeed. would not those who are thus prevented have good cause of conn plaint against the company?
 Then, again, there will be those who would rather stand, especially for a short ride. than pay fare In that case, if there are vacant seats, can a eonduc- tor force men to sit down if they don't want tc? And if they refuse to sit, san he force them to sit? It might be a rather strenuous time for him, we im- agine. The law might be so worded as to force any one who stands up vol untarily to pay his fare, but could the conductor enforce such a regulation? Seems to us that law such as Is pro- posed will bring on some interesting times with the employees, but it may be so framed that no one can evade it, though we doubt it. still, the theory is fair. for it is hard to make people pay If they can't get seats. We shall watch for that law and it's workings.

St. Johns Cathedral. New York, Will cost SI0, ,000 when completed. And tens of thousand of people who live there never have enough to eat ana their children go hungry to school. Ot course that is the way Christ would nave done it. He would starves children and put millions into vain, snowy buildfngs.-Appeal to Reason
 Not infrequently this sort Of ms taken criticism appears in various ways, It is based on the erroneous idea that when a costly building IS erected as much money as It repre- sents is withdrawn from use-burlec as it were in the building. Never was a greater mistake Every dollar spent in the erection of such a building IS maid out for labor and materials. The money goes to the men who quarry and dress the stone and lay 1t in place; to others who furnish material and other wise aid in the construction and orna- mentation of the edifice, Much as we may deprecate the vanity of the man who spends his money for show, either in fine buildings or other ways, we must admit, if we are at all inclined to he fair, that he is of more value to the Community than the man who. hoards his money or puts it out at interest He spends his money so that working people get the benefit of its distrtbu- ton. a much better plan than to put 1t where nobody can get any benefit from

INconnrcr PrsruREs.

We have more than once commented on the mistakes some of them iudic- rous, of artists and painters, caused by their failure to adhere to facts and his- tory. The Manchester Union calls at- tention to some recent instances of the same nature. One of them was the frontispieee of a magazine Thanksgiv- ing number. which showed the Puritans of New England on their way to church, each one of them holding in one hand a book plainly stamped with the cross All who have read anything about the Puritans know that one of them would rather have carried a live rattiesnake in his hand than a Catholic Bible or prayer-book, or any book with the sign
 of the cross on it.
 Another biunder of the same nature
 is alluded to by The Union where a
 handsomely illustrated edition of Long, fellows Evangeline' shows her sur
 rounded by a variety of chrysan- themums of kind perfected aheut twenty years ago, Eyangeline was an Acadian character who lived one hun dred and fifty years ago, it must le remembered. in order. to appreciate the absurdity of the blunder.
 But these are not as bad as is still another one referred to by The Union. It tells of picture of the Last Supper which was painted by one of the most famous artists of the Fifteenth Century. It represents the Savior and His disci- pies seated in chairs at table in mod ern fashion. just as they would have done in the painters day. Such man. ner of eating or sitting at table was unknown in the savior's day. and fer quite q long while after. These are three instances of artists ignorant or careless of history and thereby making pictures which may be beautiful and well executed but which are decidedly l incorrect.

There was No such Meeting.

Selma JOuTuhl
 Tn it's issue of Tuesday The Birmins- ham News repeats its declaration that there Is and has been in circulation in inc State q persistent rumor that a conference was held fin Atlanta by several Democrats just prior to the meeting of the State Committee, It names as conferees on that occasion Jones C. Moore. of Birmingham, George W. Jones, of Montgomery. and c. c. Whitson, of Talladega and offers it's columns to any of the gentlemen named who may desire to contradict the rumor. The News did not like the last meeting of the State Committee and has been persistent in it's criticisms of the primary Ilan adopted there. It appears to us that if it desires to fight this plan or to seek to have the rank and file of the committee removed 1t will have to find something more than this mares nest"
 It is not apparent that the gentle men named were guilty of any party disloyalty or offense aginst the Dem ocrats of the State in meeting In At ianta-if they did sO--and consulting together.
