HE SHOULD paop IT.

Commenting on some of Mir. Bryan's xsnre recent utteranees. The New York Times remarks:
 If Mfr Bryan is not uncommonly spry # he continues to waste time in eFoning over dead and forgotten things, the Republicans will again forestAll him by pre-empting the tariff issue He began his political career as tariff reformer. In his two campaigns he had practically nothing to say upon that subject. If he could cure himself ward and would cast a clear and pene- trating eye into the rich future we are inclined to think that he would make himself the leader in the tariff fight. But if that is to happen, he must shut his ears to the evil cdhnsels of his old advisers. They would confuse him with eounsels of cowardice. The politicians are always afraid of the tariff"
 That is a solid truth which Mir. Bryan and his advisers would do well to heed, The indications are that the tariff is- sue it going to play an important part in the next national campaign. It Is Becoming evident that the Republicans cannot stave it off much longer. There is a spirit of dissatisfaction and un- rest in their ranks that refuses to be held down. It may not reach to actual rebellion, but 1t may reach height that will make it unpleasant, If not worse. for the leaders. If the Demo- erats do not give the subject of tariff reform the consideration 1t deserves the Republicans may take 1t up themselves and thus forestall the Democrats and steal their thunder.
 It plainly will not do for Mir. Bryan to waste time on the financial issues and theories that were threshed out ten and six years ago. and have been laid to rest by the ineVcrable logic of events. whether he was right or wrong is question that need not be discuss ed now Circumstances and conditions have made it plain. at all events. that what he made the vital issue & of his campaigns cannot now be made of ser vice. He should let the dead past bury its dead and not, even by implication attempt to infuse new life into the corpse of free coinage. for 1t cannot be resurrected. Those who advise him to hark back to 1896 are neither friends nor well-wishers to him or to the Democracy.
 The tide which has been setting to- wards MT. Bryan will not only cease to follow, but will ebb if he persists in looking backward. There are many and real evils which 1t seems will not he corrected unless the Democrats again get control of the government The wrongs and inconsistencies of the pres ent tar.ff is hut one. though perhaps the most vital. of the evils under which the American people are suffering, but the tariff, especially, should be taken up by the Democrats at once and not abandoned until its gross wrongs have been corrected or eliminated If the Republicans see their opportunity and Beise on tariff revision as an issue for themselves they will have d weapon hard to resist. Mir. Bryan Is strong now, but he cannot make fight for Demo- cracy on the platform of 1896.

 That Is the simple twaddie of pure nonsense that assails Conner because he Is anxious to know whether the Alabama Railroad Commission Law is f5osst1stiS6ai 5asg Tsssd ho, or not Go1bt has fort Is to warn the people so they can elect a legislature that will cure defects in the law, if they really ex- ist. Conner means business; # the law Is not valid, he would have 1t made valid. and strong enougn to protect the people from outrageous taxation by the railroads in continuing higher frei"ht rates in --1abama than in any other Southern State"-Birmingha News.
 The question thet seems wrapped up. in MT. Corners anxiety for a le- of the Railroad Commission law is, why as chairman of the commission he did not ask Attorney General erai Martin for an opinionr If we remember correctly some time since Mir. Conner was rantinR because the governor did not employ an attorney with the representatives of the va rious railroads. He was told by the governor that 1t was the duty of to whom all the state officials applied, went for legal advice on state mat ters. But Mir. Conner, perhaps. knew well what lHAS bEDCldl opinion would be, as tEe attorney gen. cral has since given out an opinion that the law IS constItuIIonaf, and had applied to him his little campaign thunder would have been knocked Into a cooked hat
 Again 1t will be seen that Mir. Co., mer does not mind the cost of little campaign thunder. While he could have obtained the oninion of the state attorney general free, he pre- ferred to pay the ex-altorney general a fee for his opinion in preference. MT. Martin now disclaims in an open let ter that his opinion was to the effect that the law Is constitutional, as evI- deneed by the following closing para
 T beg to add that I was hot em- ploycd to invalidate' the act in ques- tion but to investigate and give an opinion upon its constitutionality. This I did without regard to any particular result"
 This action of MT Conner in ignoring the attorney general only goes to prove what has often been charged that he is not in sympathy with the state democratic officials. and seldom let's an onportunit-- pass to thrust his spear into the vitals of every dem ocratic nlatform and every demoHratt" leader from Houston down. Rob him of his one idea of lighting the rail- roads" and he would be as helpless as a school boy in commanding the att tentlon of tho public on matters Of state

A STRAIGHT PRIMARY.

We have no personal knowledge of any intention on the part of persons not entitled to vote ill tine Democratic primary attempting to do so on the 27th of August. The following, how ever. from The callman Democrat would indicate something of tie sort: The Conner following in the town of Democrats. closely aniliatea with tie Republicans. We believe this to be the case over the county and State. It will be the duty Of every Democrat to stay on guard thc 27th of August and see that only straight Democrats vote, II this .s done the tcomerItes themssives cannot doubt that Cunningham win carry the county three to one. In the eight counties that have held primaries for county officers, Ccmer has not won single victory. Thls Is sweeping the State has put tho Com CT wagon climbers on the run. Victory is written on tho faces of ali Of Cum ningham's friends.
 The following which has been sent to The Advertiser. speaks for itself: Notice to Republicans
 We appeal to the Republicans throughout the State, who claim to be loyal as. well as lawabiding citizens, primaries
 As may be plainly seen it is not only dfsloyai, but an actual violation of the civil code to take part in these prin.ar- les.
 And as many voters are not cognizant of this fact, we ask papers to please copy this notice, and thus prevent our citizens from doing wrong, and re- quest Republicans everywhere to fur ther the knowiedge. l.
 Very respectfully.

 We hope that our Republican friends will allow the Democrats to settle their own party matters. They have no lot or parcel in our affairs and under the. rules adopted by the committees. have no right to vote In our primar~ les. Conner men and Cunningham men ought to join hands Ill seeing that only those duly qualified under the rules adopted by the State Committee. vote in the August primary. Those who have been in active opposition to the party can easily make themselves eligi- ble as voters in future primaries by voting the Democratic ticket at tho regular election in November. Over 22,- 900 votes were cast for Roosevelt in Alabama In 1904 and b.o00 were cast for Tom Watson.

"Are there good stepmothers?' is the headline in a contemporary. As a general question it would be just as sensible to ask if there are good wives and mothers We know there are and we also know that there are bad ones It is perfectly natural that women. the very best of them. should feel more kindly to their own offspring than they do to the children of another Is not surprising. At the same time a good woman. with the right kind of heart, will be good to the little ones who have been deprived of the loving care and kindness of their own mother. and that there are such stepmothers is known to all who have earad to observe or inquire. As The New York Mail sees 1t.
 "The good stepmother Is an evolu- ton. She is becoming commoner as new conceptions of social duty appear to supplement the primary instincts which hold the family and society to- gether. Her position requires tact and a generous heart to counterbalarce the absence of the blood tie and shame down the jealousy and suspicion. on the part of the children under her roof, to which her position lays her open. She may make herself the spiritual meth CT of these childreE by all the means that a wise. noble woman can use for the inspiration of young lives. She may become all. and more than all. that the ideal sehoolmistress is to her devot- ed pupils."

 William J. Bryan's latest statement of his attitude on public questions makes him neither a radical nor a con- servative," said John Sharp Williams, minority leader of the House today when asked his opinion of Bryan s London declaration.
 T have always regarded Bryan. in so far as the end that he seeks to estab- fish was concerned, as a man of sound conservative, thinking habits. A great many people have been affected with the notion that he had some leaning toward State socialistic and semi State sociallstic position. I was very closely related to him in work and as- sociation in the Fifty-third Congress, and l never myself shared this idea Mr; Bryan Is fundamentally an individ uaiist. and, in fact. is apt sometimes to go little too far in behalf of honest individual and local self-government, if, indeed, anybody could carry so good principle too far"

 The turning of the tide of public favor and sentiment from Conner to- wards Cunningham is very remarkable when all the facts are considered MT. Conner has been speaking and cam paigning for months, his newspaper friends have kept their columns filled with everything in the way of reading matter that could help his cause, he has had Captain Frank White and his committee of merchants, farmers and manufacturers bustly at work he and his friends have lost no opportunity to try to impress upon the people that there was no safety for them unless he was elected Governor. On the other hand Dr. Cunningham remained quietly at home practicing his profession until a reasonable time before the primary and then began hts canvass. He has no
