Looking to ths sou:h.

Chattanooga Times.
 The Baltimore Sun with great sol emnity and genuine seriousness, since MT. Bryans return, Is urging the nomf- nation of a southern Democrat for the Presidency in 1908. The Sun finds by examining the returns of the last three presidential elections that the south has been furnishing about all the votes the party has had in the electoral col iege. Hence, it believes that we would dc just about as well if not better. with a southern man than with MT. Bryan; he would at least stand accred- ited against the government ownership heresy ana that appea-' now to be the most alarming menance the country apprehends from the tiominancv of the party in the nation. In fact The Sun believes and we have no reason to doubt it, that the country Is beginning to look to the South for the safest and soundest leadership and the most thor oughly American statesmanship.

AMENDING CITY CHARTERS.

< In the sidewalk talk in The Adver- tiser of last Thursday was this par agraph:
 the Legislature an effort lay be made to have the charter of the city or Montgomery amended" said cltizeh yesterday. "The idea, from what l can gather, is to separate the sanitary de- rartment from the city physician un- der the existing charter, the sanltaIS department is under the charge and control of the city physician, put, II the amendment is put through. tne chief clerk of the sanitary departneht will have charge of this department
 q have not yet fully understood why 1t is proposed to make the change In the charter, but I suppose those WHO have the amendment fin hand feel that the severance may be beneheial potn to the city physician and the sanitary department It is claimed. that Tn great many cities these. two branches are operated separately
 That sounds we'll. but as matters now stand nothing in the way of amendment of a city charter can be considered by the Legislature Every thing relating to city will have 10 be done under a general municipal law or. code. and no such law or code has been enacted In this state ihiS failure to enact such law was one of the great disappointments of the last Legislature and the Representa- tives from all the counties in which are located towns or cities should res olutely put their shoulders to the wheel and see that municipal code Is enacted. Section 104 of the State Constitution sets forth certain matters wherein the Legislature is forbidden to act and paragraph IS of that section is in these words:
 Amending, confirming or extending the charter of any private municipal corporation, a remittfng the forfeiture thereof. provided. this shall not pro- hihit the Legislature from altering or re-arranging the boundaries or any city, town or village
 Provision Is made in the Constitu- ton for enactment of a general munic- ipal law under which cities can change charters, etc Until that law is enac- ted no change in the charter of any city in this State can be made.

However. the Angels were luckier
than the local aggregation and sue
ceeded in getting their men on bases
when connecting with the Oakland
twirler. Up to the second half of the
sixth inning the Commuters had not

the rubber plate. In the sixth they
had a brief change in their luck and
connected for two base hits, which,
however. gained them nothing.
Bergman, the Angels twirler, pitched
a star game. Not man on the Com
