opportunity for practice in giving COM

outlined in my remarks on "Non-com-

who. if not already so. could easily by
application and study eminently fit
themselves for the duties of their sew

criticisms of organizations found in
this. report there is much to be said
for the enlisted men. Attention is
particularly, called to the fact that
without compensation they are will

military purposes and in preparation
for the defence OF the State and Ma
ton. They are excellent men, intelli-
gent. sober and Industrious and come
from that class of the population al

emergencies. They should. therefore,
be given every possible facility in
gaining the military instructions they
seem so much in earnest to obtain.

imperative duty to apply himself as
much as possible to the study and
knowledge of his position; it is to him
that the soldier looks for instruction
and protection and when the officer is
incapable OF imparting the one or Civ
ing the other the service of the en-
listed man cannot be otherwise than
nefticio mt. The enlisted man feels this
incompetcncy on the part of the officer
and mentally if not openly questions
every order and duty; this soon brings
on a state of insubOrtiination and dis
organization. Where there is not
proper discipline troops are without
control. There is no surer way
for an officer to inspire the conf
dence and loyalty of his men than
through Il good understanding of his
duties. 1t is not to be understood by
the critical remarks made in this re-
port that the good work accomplished
by the National Guard is not appre-
ciated. Great credit is due for the
really high state of efficiency attained
under adverse and sometimes discour-
aging circumstances and too much
cannot be said in praise of the loyalty

Railroad REGULATION.

Under tile. constitution of the United
States, Congress alone has power to reg
ulate commerce between the states. Under
II a commission has been created and au-
thority conferred by act of Congress to
deal with and regulate. the business of
common carriers and fix, and enforce a
lust and reasonable rate. This character
of legislation has always had my sup
port and vote as a member of Congress
| had the honor to be "a member of the
platform committee of the national DEM
ocratic convention In 1896. and was a
member of ssthe Subcommittee which
framed and reported TO the convention the
first declaration ever made by any po-
litieal party favoring the governmental
regulation of railroads
For the same reason | favor the proper
regulation of the railroads In Alabama
and the power to fix and enforce Just
and reasonable rates and car service regu-
lations.
Upon the various national issues l stand
upon the declarations of the national con-
vention of the party.

of ali who agree with the views above
expressed, and who believe me worthy of
this high trust. Yours very truly,
