It has been told to the people by Mr Conner for the past two years that the only serious question before the people of Alabama was the reduction and regulation of railroad freights. He made his canvass for the position he now holds on that contention and hay- ing succeeded in getting into place, he has used his vantage ground as a stepping stone to another and higher office He has stamped himself as g man of one idea. always bearing in mind that what he was advocating bore upon his individual fortunes. per sonal and political

The Whipping of Anarchists.

 As for whipping, the privacy of the whipping, 1t seems, would defeat It's object of dlscouraging others. There are two objects in public floggings. One is to punish the man flogged By hurt ing him. The other is to punish him by degrading him and holding him up to public shame The latter would be quite as affective as the former as a deterrent. but it's effectiveness would be weakened to nothing if nobody saw it done but the officials who did it. Doubtless the stocks or the pillory are disaRreeable ordeals, But we do not mean to revive them. even for anar- ohists. If the notion be merly to give this particular variety of criminal pain, Secretary Bonaparte ought in consist ency to advocate the revival of the me- diaeVal custom of drawing and quarter ing as well as of hanging. But 1t is in- conceivable that tortue for any offense whatever will again be authorised by American Iepr-

There has not been. in recent years, A greater fraud than the claim by MT. Conner that he is the peoples candi- date. What has he ever done to jus tify his making such a claim2 He can't show anything of the sort in his record as a merchant, nor as grain or cotton mill man. He boasts of hav- ing spent $s.OOO two years ago. in his campaign, to educate the people. To 10 what-vote for B. R. Conner. Not much generosity in such a claim as that It was all selhshness, and the $S.OOO would be in his pockets today if he had not expected by that means to secure his election.

They are now telling of deaf mute who had his speech restored by being run over by an automobile. If the story is true it is up to the doctors to find out the secret of it, and whether the same effect may not be brought about without using the auto It is little dangerous to get in the waysof one of these machines, and If there Is any other way to restore speech and hear ing it ought to be known; otherwise the auto has found another useful job.

WHERE THE rsAuLT IS.

The Hartford Times makes the point that more than half the automobile ac- cidants in which people are killed or injured are attributable to failures of the steering apparatus. In majority of accounts that we read of such acz cidents the statement comes in that ''the steerirg gear failed to work" or the steering gear gave way" or some similar announcement is made to show that most of the disasters to these machines arise from one cause. At the most critical moment the machine fails 10 obey the rudder, as we might say, and then the catastrophe.
 One would think that the makers of these vehicles. if they knew their bus moss and arc conscientious manufac- jurors. would take extra pains with this highly important part of an au- tomobile. and build 1t So that no or slinary cause would either put 1t out of use or cause 1t to break. And there would be little trouble in this respect if 50 many of the drivers were not af- fiictsd with speed madness When an auto is running at speed of ten or twelve miles an hour or less. an ob- stacle or danger can be seen in ample time to avoid 1t without straining the steering gear. but 1t Is quite differ ent if the speed is forty or fifty miles. Then when a danger suddenly looms up the driver must act on the instant and nine out of ten will give the steer ing wheel such a wrench as to put 1t out of business in majority of cases. It is possible that no machinery can be constructed which will withstand such drafts on 1t as almost any driver will resort to when he sees death ahead and knows that he must change direction in an instant At least, a steering gear that will stand such a sudden sFain must be so strong and heavy that it would spoil the sym netry of the machine. Whatever the remedy may be. the fact remains that most of the accidents occurring at high spesd are chargeahle to the failure or weakness of the steering gear

 The Governors friend who sent him copy of the paper containing the ed itoriaI paragraph was remiss in not also sending him a copy of the paper containing the letter from Edwards vile giving an account of the incident, That account very distinctly stated that his remarks in reference to Governor Oates and his lost arm were very un- called for. The Governor says:
 Governor Oates was present when I hum orously said that he had more serse during the war than l. for when his arm was broken he had it taken off, and that when mine was broken did not have enough senSe to have it cut off.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

We noted the fact two weeks
ago that there had been one
application for a rural free
delivery out of Winfield and the
application was forwarded to
Hon. ]. T. Watkins, Member of
Congress for this district.
Attached hereto is his answer:

We have now at this office
blanks for three other routes,
and any community of citizens
desiring to avail themselves of
the rural free delivery service
can get all the information and
blanks for this purpose at this
office.
The public is not fully informed
on all of the advantages of the
rural free delivery service. 1t is
literally travelling postoffice. a
carrier is the postmaster who
brings the mail to your door and
sells stamps, receives your letters
to mail and can register your
letters and secure you money
orders whenever wanted. 1t is a
daily service. We have investi-
gated the possible routes and
have found that there are FIVE
routes out of WINFIELD which
have the requisite population and
it is only necessary for them to
move in the matter to secure this
modern convenience.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE SENTINEL PLANT.

We are proud to announce to
our friends, and to the public
generally, that we have completed
many of the improvements in The
Sentinel printing plant, which we
contemplated when We took
charge of the paper. The plant
is now as well equipped with
presses, type and other material
as any other office in the county
that does not use the typesetting
machines.
We have a large Campbell
cylinder press for newspaper and
large poster work and two Pearl
job presses, all driven by .
horsepower electric motor, man.
ufactured by the Century Electric
Company of St. Louis. A new
lot of display type, border,
ornaments and other materials
were received from the foundry
last week and now we are pre-
pared to do any kind of job print
ing with neatness and dispatch.
We are grateful to our nu-
merous friends who have given
us their support and We reiterate
here that it is our aim to make
The Southern Sentinel the leading
paper in North Louisiana, one
that will be sought after through
out this section. as we intend to
give all the news in which the
public is interested.
The Sentinel has been selected
by Hon. Jno. I. Michel. Secretary
f State, as the medium through
which to publish the Constitu-
tional amendments and this is
another demonstration that our
efforts to publish an up-to-date
newspaper are being recognized
and appreciated. not only by our
home people, but by others.
As stated in a previous issue,
we expect, as soon as conditions
will justify it, to issue a daily
paper, giving each days news,
market reports and such other
matter as is required to make
newsy daily paper. We will,
however. continue to issue our
weekly paper in much enlarged
and improved form.
We would like to get each of
our readers interested to the
extent of getting us a new SUBJ
scriber and keeping us posted
concerning the local news items
IN every community. Don't be
afraid that you do not write we'll
enough. We will look after it if
you will write us.

THE DUTIES OF CITIZENSHIP.


election for the purpose of NOM
mating a candidate for Repre-
sentative in Congress from the
Fourth Congressional District, a
candidate for Railroad Commits
sioner from the Third Railroad
Commission District and can
didate for member of the State
Board of Equalization from the
Fourth Congressional District.
This election WAS ordered by the
Democratic Executive Commit
tees of the two districts in ac-
cordance with the provisions of
the new State primary election
law.
There being no opposition to
the candidacy of the Hon. John
7. Watkins for Congress, the
committee has declared him to be
the nominee, so there will be no
ballots cast for Congressman.
However, a member from each
parish will be elected 10 serve on
the Executive Committee of the
Fourth. Congressional District,
and also one member from each
parish to constitute the Executive
Committee of the Third Railroad
Commission District.
For Railroad Commissioner
there are three candidates: Hon.
]. ]. Meredith of Caldwell, Hon.
Henry Hunsicker of Caddo and
Hon. w. L. Foster of Caddo, the
present incumbent.
For member of the State Board
of Equalization there are three
candidates: Hon. w. M. Wallace
of VIM and Honorables ]. T.
Boone and w. P. Head of
Bienville.
The voters of this parish are
called upon to express their
choice by voting for one of these
gentlemen. We believe that to
vote is bounden duty of citizen
ship. 1t is the inalienable right
of every man to exercise this
right and duty. We can not con-
slider a man who fails to qualify
himself and vote at all elections
on all questions, good citizen.
We have great country and it is
becoming greater each year. but
when we see the apathy and. We
may say distrust, that a large
percentage of our citizens seem
to have toward the management
of public affairs. it is APPALLING.
We urge upon the citizens of
VIM parish that they arouse
themselves. go to the polls on the
9th day of September and show
to the whole State that the citizens
of VIM parish are alive to their
interest and. knowing them, give
expression to that knowledge in
no uncertain terms by voting for
the man of their choice.
We have advocated and argued
that the Hon. ]. ]. Meredith of
Caldwell would make an ideal
Railroad Commissioner and We.
hope to see hrm elected and from
information received from every
part of the district we feel that
he will be.
We were among those who
solicited the Hon. w. nj. Wallace
10 become candidate. We did
so because we believed that he
was IN every way fitted tor that
position. We have left nothing
undonc that would advance his
candidacy We have the highest
regards for the other candidates,
but We do now urge upon every
