MR. COMER'S LOGIC
Balls Himself Up in the Chief .Judgeship
 Fight.

Some months ago Chief Justice Mc- ciellan died. Justice John R. Tyson was one of the best known men in State. Tn a straight primary, before the masses of the people. he had two good men in the race Nearly sixty counties indorsed him for appointment as Chief Justice; in many of the mum eraliy era signed indorsing him: in others petitions had been signed by the mem bers of the county bars; another ap-s plicant was appointed, MT Weakley. or Jefferson. who had less formidable pe- titions. but who Is most excellent gentleman, we'll qualified, and 8 good man for the position.
 diately said that Governor Jeiks had appointed MT. Weakley to pay debt of political gratitude; that he had failed to appoint the ,,ss man that nat the peod5 appointed and asked the Governor to appoint: that the man who was Tn line for. promotion had been turned down. had been appointed, notwithstanding the fact thathe had a very small indorse-- ment, compared with the fndorsement the truth of these statements, they .ob- mind. The people are always glad to disapprove the administration of the appointing power. they are ever ready to avenge the refusal to appoint a man largely indorsed. and the intention to retire Judge weakley to private life a sks ypgs oT @ beS nead uoon of hs ts voters of the State.
 Then steps in MT Conner; so far as this paper has noted his actions have paper and other friends; The Birniing- ham News. the recognized leader of the Conner papers, IS wsging 2 very Jadge Tysosn nsni is ene of the most pop ular men in Alabama; hc is widely known; he has the. great advantage growing , out of the sppSintment ssd of Mir. Corners friends are at the great disadvantage of being inconsistent in their fight on Judge Tyson and for pointee of Governor Jelks; the fact ibat he was Jelks's campaign manager, and Jelks's personal friend. and that persoPai per opRYsns one was I the maia thing urg- State. Governor Jeiks is one of those ps bad bad sS . essas whG r he9e so mer has not excluded him from the list; he canntt now take him out of the list; MT.

 MT. Conner has told how the rail- roads manipulate things in hundreds of speeches in Alabama; how one or two railroads lawyers pull the strings and the public officers ju.1p: how they tell the Goveronr to do-a thing; and he does it. He is Cat least by proxyl telling the people how important the office of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Is to the people in the railroad fight. Now the people remember that 1t was taken as a foregone conclusion that Tyson would be appointed Chief Justice; the appointment of Weakley was a great surprise Would It be too

A striking example of the how not to do it. policy of our government where ex-Confederates are to be ben. efited is shown in the announcement that John II. Morsan's men are now to get pay for their horses. The com mand surrendered in May. 1885, and their horses. whi.n were private prop erty. were iak"h by the Fe1ersls. Now. after the lapse of for.y-oue years, when mos, of the mon are deaA thus thoroughly just debt is to be paid. Public and private pension bills for Union soldiers are railroaded through Congress without examination, but 1t takes almost half a century for the government to pay claims which were morally and legally as just and fair as any pension claim Is. Was 1t a right or fair proceeding?

 We are having a good deal of 1t in Alabama just now, The campaign promises to warm with the weather.

 That more nearly expresses. than anything I ca nthink of just now, the attitude of the Cristian voter in the vote in the primary, he must agree to support the whole ticket nominated. That is the party law, promulgated by the Executive Committee. From party standpoint, it Is all right; from the standpoint of a Christian voter. 1t is all wrong There is the devil" part of tn saying. "rhe deep blu sea" part Is this: suppose the Christians refrain from voting, then the primary is turned over to the extreme parti- sans and the toughs . ton meant an election. Are we will ing to turn over the election of off cers to the Christian element? It Is up to you, MT. Christian. to cut this hard knot. Again I ask, what are you going to do about 1t?

ma, and if its groundless assertions go unchallenged some impression may be made upon the fair minded citi- gems of this county who have express cd their confidence in Justice Tyson and their intention of supporting him. As a matter of fact Judge Tyson has never had any connection with the railroads and has no debts due them debts to them. When he was applicant for the appointment as chief justice the lawyers of over fifty counties in the State endorsed him and requested was before the gubernatorial canvass opened and about as many Conner sup porters endorsed him as Cunningham supporters. The News pretends that all the railroad interests are pushing Justice Tyson's candidacy and that if he is elected he will naturally lean to- wards them in his conduct as Chief Justice. In so far as we are concern ed we fail to see that a man elected Tyson will be elected. could be as dan gerous as a man elected by such a campaign as The News is waging for Justice Weakley.
 When a newspaper of the circula- tion of The Birmingham News con- tinues to make charges such as 1t Is making against man who has spotless reputation, an untarnished name, a lone and honorable service each and every newspaper and citizen to speak out and defend the right. Justice Tyson was born and reared in our neighboring county of Lown- des. He is man of honor. of un- questioned Integrity and of fixed and settled principles. He is not tied to the tail of any mans kite and if he is elected Chief Justice he will go into office q free man and will de- eide cases according to the law and. not according to the ideas of Dr. Rhodes nor Mr. Conner or any other individual A free and untrammeled Judiciary is the last bulwark of free dom in this country.

HE MAKES NO pLEDGEs

The Penrose ticket in Pennsyivania is still causing the decent element among the Republicans of that Stare to make wry faces. and to express themselves rather plainly with regard to their political affairs. The Phiia- deiphia Press, for one. is not at all pleased with the way things are going. More than once since Stuart was nom mated for Governor The Press has all most begged him to come out plainly and give a definite assurance that if elected he will not allow the corrupt gang to again obtain control of Phila- deiphia, as it controlled it before the reform movement headed by Mayor Weaver swept them out of existence.
 But MT. Stuart has persistently re- fused to give any assurance that h. will not be dominated by the old gang that ruled and. fiourished so long and got rich from the spells of yillainy. Last Saturday he was formally notified of his nomination for Governor and then was good time for him to come out boldly and pledge himself in fa- vor of honest government but he failed to take advantage of the opportunity. The Philadelphia Ledger and The Tele- graph both look on his acceptance speech as a lodging and altogether unsatisfactory performance.
 But why should these Republican ad- vocates of clean government expect anything better from Stuart? As The Philadelphia Record, an independent paper, says: He cannot escape the fact that he is the candidate of the gang. and he will be in the power of the men who confer office upon him That expresses the situation exactly. He owes his nomination to the same old gang. led by Senator Penrose. and he knows that his only hope of election lies in obeying the orders of his bosses. If he is elected we see no reason to doubt that he will stick to the ma- chine that makes him the Governor of his State.

SATURDAY. JULY IA 1908.
IT IS HUMAN NATuRr.

II Is the way of the world. Stanford White is dead and laid away. As far as he is concerned individually human praise and human blame are the same. All the generations that may be heaped ea him cannot change his condition BOW or hereafter. All the praise that can be given him cannot restore his life and bring him back from the grave.
 There are those who would spread over him the mantle of charity. erase all unfavorable records and close tho book wherein is recorded his faults and let them be no more remembered against him forever. They would obey carefully and fully that old Latin maxim which. freely translated. tells us that ''of the dead let nothing be said but what is favorable" It is charit- able and Christian command but at times it is not wrong to disregard 1t.
 On the other hand it is already ap- parent that there is disposition to lay all the blame on White and none on Thaw. It may be largely a maudlin sympathy which is always to the front In the case of murderer. however base ha may be. or may have been. These sympathizers with criminal have no word of condemnation for Thaw. as they have no good word for White The living criminal is guiltless of real crime while the dead victim was the embodiment of vice. This. also. is hu- man nature. Some symrathize only with the slain and some only with 'hs slayer.
 After all. is it not better to be fair to both living and dead? We can speak of Whites faults and failings without any desire to maliEn the dead and without any uncharitableness. That he had grave faults and vices is T truth that cannot be suppressed and need not be, for his life and its end ing point moral that may be of good service to others. Clothing him with the vestments of sainthood will not hide his faults.
 And those who seek to defend Thaw by laying all the blame on White do an injustice to the dead and do not help the living. He is a murderer and can be looked at in no other light. What the courts and the juries may say of his case no man can tell. but the pub lie has a right to speak of that which is so well known. His sins of omis- sion and commission have been too open and notorious to be covered up or forgotten. and the last was but a na.~ ural sequence of his career. He com mftted deliberate murder, and there is yet no known justification for the act. The brand of Cain is indellibly imprinted On his forehead. There Is nothing to be gained by efforts to whftewash either principal in this mIs- erable business. All that can fairly be asked is that justice be done both the dead and the living.
