 Washington Special to Mobile Register.
 The views of Senator Pettus are so well known on the rate bill that al though he made no speech on the meas ure, nor offered any amendment, the principal feature of objection to the bill which caused him to vote against 1t may safely be noted. Several pro- visions of the bill are regarded by the Senator as unconstitutional, and his judgment does not permit him to vote for the bill while supporting the fed eral constitution. Both Alabama Sena- tors hold that they are bound by the last constitutional convention which provided for the regulation of railroad rates and also for railroad commis- sion elected by the people. Both sup ported their State constitution and they look upon the pending rate bill as ut terly striking down the Alabama Com mission and rendering it of no effect. Some people, the two Senators have suggested, may think that the Alabama Commission can still go on, but the bill just passed by the Senate provides that all common carriers engaged in inter- state commerce shall be subject to the decisions of the Interstate Commerce Commission. which the Alabama Sena- tors regard as unconstitutional. Senator Pettus is particularly insistent upon preserving as far as possible the pow CTS of the State and of the State courts. and is unalterably opposed to extending the powers of general gov- ernment to it's courts. Another se- rious objection. in Mir. Pettus' mind, is that the pending bill strikes from the existing law section IS. providing for trial by jury. Senator Morgan made an effort to have that provision re- tained, but 1t was voted down. Sem ator Morgan offered another amend ment which provided that any one who was wronged by the railroads might sue in a State court This was voted down, although supported by all the Democrats with every Republican against it.

for
 Hunger
Good Advice From E. c. Fowler as to
 How to Create an Appetite.


 How to Create an Appetite.
 Any physician will tell you that 1t Is unwise to eat unless one is really hun .gry. It is far better to miss meal than to eat without appetite.
 But do not take a tonic, stimulant or appetizer to make you hungry. E. c. Fowler says that the best way to create an appetite is to restore the digestion to health by the use of Mi-o- na stomach tablets, reliable reme- dy that he has with the best of satis- faction.
 When Mi-o-na is used, the irritation and inflammation of the stomach coat ing will be soothed. the gastric folli- cles will be strengthened so that they will pour out the natural digestive fluids with regularity. and the food you eat will be perfectly digested without distress. All headaches, sleep lessness. specks before the eyes. poor backaches, and other troubles caused by a poor digestion will soon disap- pear, and you will feel we'll all over. A large box of Mi-o-na stomach tab let's is sold for 50 cents by F. G. Fowler and 1t is so successful and relia- ble in curing indigestion and other stomach troubles, with the exception of cancer of the stomach, that he sells 1t under a guarantee that the money will be refunded unless it does all that is claimed for 1t.
 If you have any stomach weakness. here is an opportunity to be cured without risking cent yourself.
 If not convenient to obtain Mi-o-na of MT Fowler or some other retailer it will be sent by mail postage prepaid on receiut of prize. -.

Interesting, If True.

New York Commercial.
 An Italian inventor has recently per- fected an interesting machine and If 1t works as successfully as the inventor claims. 1t will bring about a great change in railroad ticket offices. At present thousands of different tickets for all stations and all classes have to be printed in advance to be kept on hand. and great care Is required to keep them in order. This not only makes the production of the tickets quite expensive. but 1t takes up much room and requires the constant att tentfon of the officer in charge.
 The new machine is intended to print with little labor. on heavy cardboard, all ticket whenever wanted. The tick cts thus printed contain the names Of the station of departure and destina- ton. date of issue, number of the reg tster, class to be used, difference for single and round trips, and the exact amount of the fare.
 On second strip of cardboard in the inner parts of the machine an ex- act duplicate of the ticket Is produc- ed, thus furnishing complete regfstra- ton of every ticket sold. Several of the machines are now being tried by the Italian Government. The capa- city of the apparatus Is astonishing, since 1t can print and register 400 dif- ferent kinds of tickets.
 While, by few turns of the hand, the ticket agent prints the ticket ask ed for, figure appears on the outside of the counter which indicates to the respective passenger the price of his fare,

Letters to the Editor.
Just To the Point.

s. .. Vinegar Bend. Ala, May 19. Cditor Advertiser:
 Your editorial in today's issue 'Trea- son and Traitors" is just and to the point as you generally are. The con stttution of 1TS7. as every readed knows, was a compromise. The ques- tion of Right of Secession has never been settled. The Federal government showed it's fear of the question by fail tra to bring Jefferson Davis to trial: The linging of his name with that Of Arnold. by Roosevelt, it utterly con temptibie. As the mists roll away the name of Jefferson Davis as United Statas Senator. Secretary of War. and as President of the Confederate States. the nobIest characters on the pages of American history Tn all struggles of has been the criterion of right as the world goes.
 We of the South should never. sur render to this serviIe principle.
 Yours truly.

The Right Talk.

We note from our exchange that canning factories are being establish ed all over the state, every one of which will no doubt prove a paying investment. Besides the profits to the owners, 1t brings to every community many dollars, for a surplus, which duces the farmers for miles around to cultivate a large truck patch" the surplus of which instead of being al- lowed to rot in the patch, he carries price for 1t, and 1t puts money in seo- tions thus favored with a factory. at a season of the year when it Is most needed. Here at Abbeville we need such an enterprise very much. There is abundance of surplus capital to put up a large one, and we know of noth- ing which would prove a greater bless miles around

Comer,s Band Wagon.

C'peiika Post
 Corners band wagon is not so popu- lar as 1t was short time back. few weeks ago nearly every candidate for senator and representative announced that he was on the Conner band wagon. This was particularly true of Tender cry county, Walsh in Mobile. and Coop CT In Calhoun. These were all over whelmingly defeated by Teasley, Ham burger and Blackmon. In fact a large majority of both senators and repre- sentatives on the band wagon have been defeated. The people resent and repudiate Corners attempt to control and dictate their local nominations, and the candidates have about 2ban- doned the band wagon, they have quit announcing on 1t.
 In this they are acting wisely, the intelligent, patriotic Democrats of Ala bama are nos going to nominate an extremist and demagogue like Conner for Governor

 Bessemer Workman.
 The Montgomery Advertiser has talk en occasion to rebuke w. Haverstick, a government building inspector for cast ing reflection on the cleanliness of the Capital City. The following from The Norfolk tVa.) Ledger Dispatch is what. caused the outburst,
 postoce lobSy Sa iU said s the ohl Inspector m @ continuing, Is the filthy condition of your streets here in Norfolk. I never saw anything like it. Norfolk has the most dirty streets of any of the 400 cities in which the government has public buildings with the possible sx- ception of Montgomery, Ala.
 The Workman heartily endorses ev- cry word The Advertiser had to say in which strikes the visitor to the Capital City as being most conspicuous, 1t is the cleanliness which at all times seems to prevail so far as the streets are concerned. As a matter of fact there are too many little government em- ployes who travel over this country and set themselves up as critics and who losA no opportunity of casting slurs The Advertiser is to be com mended for the stand 1t took In this instance and the matter should not be allowed to drop. A government em- ploye has no right to make damaging statements about a city. Even if such were the case 1t is none of his bus mess He might have been justified in critlcising the condition of tAe federal building, but the city has nothing thorIties were to complain they would probably be told to mind their own business and not stick their noses in other peoples affairs.

"Thlnking Out Loud"
Providence TonrnaI

Without accusing Mir. Roosevelt of any conscious insincerity, 1t must be admitted that he has habit of talking on all sides of a auestion-"thinking ng out loud" his admirers call 1t. In thls way he gives one man to understand that he agrees with him and then as- sures another, who holds directly oppo- site views. that "there is much reason in hIs sayings" This holding with the hare and running with the hound na- turally produces embarrassment: and to him he takes refuge in angry denials Of the opinions attributed to him.

The people of Alabama will read with intense interest what Senator Morgan said last Friday in reference to his negative vote on the railroad rate bill. It is evident, from remarks made the same day by many senators that they doubted whether several fea- lures of the law would stand the test of the courts or prove effective in ac complishing the purposes of the pro- motors of the measure It Is a mixed up case and may yet go through hot box before the conference committee. as it is evident the House will not accept it as it stands or until a re- port from conferees is submitted.

May 90, 1906. Editor Advertiser:
 I am made to say in the article in The Advertiser today with respect to the case of South Dakota against North Carolina, the following:
 All the bonds secured by stock as the bonds in this case never have been paid by the State of North Carolina" This Is a mistake. perhaps mine. intended to write as follows:
 All the bonds secured by stock as the bonds in this case. have been paid by the State of North Carolina"
 It will be seen that the addition ot the word never" reverses the mean ing of the paragraph.
 There were about $250.0o0 of this class of bonds that were not compro- missed by the commissioner appointed by North Carolina in 1873 to adjust and the State debt. These have been settled.

Church Prisons of Russia.

 Among the Russian reforms that the whole world will welcome is to be the abolition of the monastery prisons, Tn which for years thousands of men and women have been imprisoned. These jails keep no records. The unfortun- ates sent to one of them for offending against an ecclesiastical law simply pass from human sight and ken, Un- der the rule of the unspeakable Po- piedonOstseff, heresy, blasphemy and the nOnpayment of tithes were defined by the court. and no mercy was shown. Naturally, many of the prisoners are guilty merely Of having displeased that tyrant. whose retirement to private life has been the signally decent event since the people of Russia awakened.
