 since the day when the holding. of public office was first thought of it has been the practice of men who seek offlcv to tell the dear people stories stories being that the teliers thereof should be placed in office in order that they may save the dear people from the bugaboos. Today we are to be picturesQuely described as predatory. trusts. These be the new dragons which have come out of their lairs to deyour the dear people, and the modern dragon killers are on hand, ready to do battle in the popular cause.
 If any persons there be who doubt the existence of the dragons. or the fact that all trusts are dragons. the same are untrue to the dear people and are the tools of the trusts. All lawyers ipso facto. are tools. except few who have devoted themselves to the cause are running for ofice,

CUNNINGHAM THE MAN FOR Gov-
 EnNOR

If there Is but one Issue worthy of consideration in Alabama at this time, as Mr. Conner and his friends seem to ningham should be elected Governor. He is in favor of railroad rate regu- iation and would be just as useful in securing whatever may be needed in that direction as Mir Conner or any other man. He believes that the Rail- road Commission law gives the Com missioners power to act and to have their orders obeyed. A clause in our state Constitution reIegates the regu- lation of railroads to the Legislature and is an exact copy of the Georgia law. Tn Alabama. as in Georgia, the Legislature gave the power to a Commission and the acts of the Geor- gIa Commission shave been upheld by the Supreme Court of the United States. It is settled. therefore. that our Commission can exercise the pow CTS given to it. and as their authority is the same as that of the Georgia Commission equally satisfactory re- suits can be obtained for Alabama.
 The trouble has been that Mir. Conner went into office with only one line of action on his mind and when he could not succeed in that he began to dis count the authority and usefulness of the Board. If he was a discreet man and one who could see both sides of a question. many of the matters com plained of could have been adjusted by the Commission. Failure of his wicked partners" to see as he did was good enough electioneering scheme for him and without further effort he abandoned the whole scheme of reform in railroad rates and became a candi- date for Governor. in which position he would have no control whatever of railroad rates
 Dr. Cunningham is man of equable frame of mind. He has the gift of listening and if necessary of paying heed to wise suggestions that he may hear Any legislator or head of de- partment could easily approach him and discuss any matter in which they were interested If their views did not accord with those of Mir. Conner nine chances out of ten they would receive scant courtesy. If not have an open rupture.
 pr. Cunningham Is an experienced legislator. He served nearly one year as Governor, and demonstrated his eminent fitness for the position. There Is no detail of the States affairs about which he is not thoroughly informed while MT. Conner is ignorant as to all Of them. Dr. Cunningham's foresight led him to advocate change in plan of handling State convcts. which was adopted by Governor Jelks, and is be. ing most satisfactorily administered by the present Convict Board. Tn this matter he showed his patriotism by advocating a policy which cost him z position with better salary than tha of President of the Railroad Commis. sion. Would MT. Conner do a patgiotic and self-saerifeing act like that? H. has never yet shown any traits tC lead one to believe that he would
 pr. Cunningham is admirably qual fled by intellect. temperament and ex perienee to be the Governor of thii great State. MT. Conner is lacking 1T most, If not all Of the qualification! for making a satisfactory chief execu tive.

 Tuskegee News.
 Now, unless we are fearfully mis- taken in our estimate of the good sense of the men of Macon county, Cunning ham is going to carry this county by a good vote. He is growing every day in the estimation of thinking men. He has disproved every slanderotis charge made against him. He has named the book vice can be found. And the poorest negro before a jury in this county who could establish such a clear record of upright character would win his case. There ls too much manhood among the voters of this county for them to per- init prejudice to keep them from vot- ing for the best man for Governor.
 Cunningham is moving, even MT. Corners Campaign Manager for this county admits that the Lieutenant Governor has gotten Conner defeated in Lee county. And thus the tide rolls higher.

to do Would 1t be either wise or just to bring over thousands of these coolies and set them to work on what Is really American soil? And even If it should be done would or could the government send them back when the job is completed. or would they re- main to spread themselves over the United states7 All these are matters to be considered.
 But there is yet another phase of the Chinese question that win cause trouble, and that bids fair to become q political one. Organized labor. through Samuel Gompers. has put forth the decree that the work on the canal must be done by Americans and that no Chinese must be employ ed. This iA. the dictum of the labor element. and the leaders claim that 1t must be recognized. This labor ele- ment is very strong in some of the Northern and Western States. and the opposition or defection of that ele- ment may mean the defeat of several Republican Congressmen. It may have an important influence on tho next Presidential election if the fight should keep up two years longer, and that is matter of much moment to the Republicans. for it is possible that it might change the result of the cleo ton.
 Now. what is to be done7 The gov ernment of the United States has de- termined on a canal across the Isth- mus. Millions of money and years of time have been expended with little actual results so far. As The Port land Oregonian expresses it, We have undertaken the canal. we want the ca nal, we need the canal and we must have the canal" Y
 All well and good and we may add that it is the duty of the government to have 1t completed with the least outlay of money and time consistent with good and durable work. Shall the administration take the matter en- tireIv in its own hands, employ the best labor to be had and do the work as speedily as possible. or shall It listen to the ulctum oA 0pAPciS "'Au employ only American laborers? He is endeavoring to make the President and other oficials believe that through the influence of the unions he can get all the labor that will be needed on the work We do not believe any thing of the kind. Down South there is very little idle labor of the sort that would go to Panama or that would be satisfactory there. The men of the North. even if he can influence enough of them. are less fitted for life on the canal zone than the Southern CTS are, and if the actual digging and construction is to be done by Northern white men the next generation will not see the completion of the under taking.
 Such appears to be the unsatisfaoto- ry status of affairs on the Isthmus. and 1t remains to be seen whether the ad- uinistration will dawdle along with America iaborers at high prices or whether 1t will have the courage to defy the labor element and look only to the economical and speedy construc- ton of the work.

New York is not the only state where the worst sort of mob spirit frequently breaks out. Pennsylvania Is frequent offender, and serious disturbances by the mob have occurred time and again In Illinois, Ohio. Indiana, New Jersey, Delaware, Colorado and other North ern and Western states. It Is all the result of that anarchistic tendency which develops, from lack of respect for the law It sounds more Russian than American. and 1t is confined to no one section of the country.

The syndicated editorial is one of the latest things in the Conner plan of campaigning. One article, evidently prepared at headquarters, appeared si- multaneously in most of the Conner weekly papers of last week. Perhaps there will be more of the game prep aration this week as it will be the last chance. Even when published in the strictly Conner papers, which are willing to adopt them as their own, they will not have very much eircula- tion for the Conner supporting papers are very few.

Mir Conner attacked Dr. Cunningham for not trying to incorporate into cur State Constitution the Georgia stat utes. Like the sensible man that he has always shown himself to be. Dr. Cunningham as member of the Con- stitutional Convention favored the placing in our Constitution the claus es of the Georgia Constitution relat- ing to railroads, but opposed placing statutes therein. Under the operation of our Constitution the Railroad Com mission was given power by the Leg islature to regulate rates. That Is sensible and practicable.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-08-22

Mfr. Conner after lambasting the Alabama railroad rates all over the State and demanding Georgia rates suddenly changed his ground and came out in favor of the Legislature making those same despised Alabama rates the maximum rates and trusting to the Commission to reduce them. The folly of this was easily seen, as a lawfeannot be changed oftener than once in four years, unless extra ses- sions of the Legislature are called and our people would have to live under one rate possibly when all rates in other states had been lowered.

There seems to be a general
mis-apprehension regarding the
provisions of the cstray laws of
this state, and for the informa-
ton of our readers the following
brief has been made:

holder between October 20 and
