QUILL0TA GOES
DOWN IN RUINS
Continued from pace

for Valparaiso with a large supply of
medicines, etc.. and a detachment of
medical students who have volunteered
to assist the earthquake sufferers. The
train also took a quantity of provis-
ions. Supplies of food and medicines
have also been sent to other towns
which have suffered from the earth
quakes.
Preparations are being made to re-
sumo trading on the Santiago stock
exchange, interrupted since the earth
quake, and the principal financial
financial houses are taking steps TO
guard against a financial panic.
In the midst Of so much distress a
laughable incident occurred. A detach-

Valparaiso made a halt for refresh

mounted their horses bottled toward
Valparaiso and the carbineers were

they were able to requisition at short
notice.

SATURDAY. JANUARY 20, 1908.

In The Advertiser news columns on Friday there was special from Flor ence telling of the action of court in that city refusing to accept bail for John Dean. Deans crime was the shooting and killing of man who was trying to escape arrest. and the court set an example which should be followed by all the courts of the State. There have been too many such mur- ders in this State. as we'll as elsewhere, and it is time for the law to be en- forced against all who are guilty.
 The opinion seems to prevail that when man tries to escape arrest the officer has the right to shoot him dead. Nothing could be. more erroneous. No man is considered guilty until he is proven so in court and no official has a right to assume thai a man is gull ty> because he tries to escape. He may be innocent of the charge against him. or he may be guilty, but that is for the courts to decide. And whether inno- cent or guilty an officer has no moral or legal right to take the law in his own hands and put the fleeing man to death. When he does so he assumes to Himself the powers of judge. jury and exeeutioner, and that is going far be- vond what the law contemplates or allows. If the courts would punish the offenders in all such cases, just as it punishes others who are guilty of taking human life. there would be fewer killings without warrant

Mir. Conner spoke in Evergreen last Monday and The Advertiser had a rep resentative on the ground. Although st was the first time he had appeared since the State Committee primary plan had been published it seems to have been left to this paper 10 give his views to the public. lie very plainly an- nounced his opposition to some features of the plan. but declared that he would acauiesee in them, all of which appear ed in last Tuesdays Advertiser. Since then other papers. notably The Selma Times. friendly to his interests, have been giving publicity to matter copied from The Advertiser, but taking par ticuiar pains not to give the source of their information. The same papers never lose an opportunity to speak i'll of The Advertisers reports when they contain statements not to their liking. This may be fair journalism, but it does not strike us that way. The truth is. but for The Advertiser, the people of Ala bama would not know what Mir. Conner is saying. as his own partisans of the press have never tried to report him.

The Committee Plan.

Fort Payne Journal
 The objection to that portion of the plan which provides for the selection of successors to the present United States Senators because 1t appears to speculate on the death of those officials does not seem to be well taken. The present Senators are men verging on extreme old age and the uncertainty of their lives grows more pronounced az they grow still older. The respect and direction entertained for them by their constituentS can neither lengthen nor shorten their lives, and 1t does ap- pear that it would be only an eXhibi- tion Of prudence to provide for an un- forcseen mishap which might overtake either of them, and to provide for it in such manner that the man who sue ceeded to the position would be one who held inc endorsement of the people for the place, The objection Of this flea one and 1t does not even seem to be based on a reas onable sentiment
 rho plan altogether has good and bad features as most any other plan would have It will do for the present; Next time it's mistakes can be remedied or rather avoided.

slew-rooted Logic and the Botts.

Geneva Reaper
 This is' logic that points in opposite citing a conversation between two ne- gro urchins- referring to third: Lls?'
 "co'se."
 An you knows whar de pos'offis is?i
 'tTobbe sho; how come you ax me:
 De pos office in one cen CT town an de depot in ter, ain.t itY Everybody knows dat. Say, nigger, what is you trim ter git thoo your Well, seed slew-foot Aa'on stand in on de cornder dis mawnin an l say .Unc' Aa'on, when folks seeskyou stand gwine t de pos office CT de depo'-an he bus me over de haid wid CT wash boa :"
 Now. then, as an example of slew footed logic, gaze on this, from 2 speech-the same speech-of candidate B. B. Conner and tell us what you think about it. The extracts are taken from report of speech at Union Springs:
 Commission CTS Men who advo-. Tunstall and San cate my staying ders may be hon where am and est but their en- putting on two men yironment makes who thing as l do, them see the rail- know that 1t would road way. and I. be impossible to do the representative anything and that of the people, is the reason they could do nothing" advocate t.
 MT. Conner here attempts the impos- sible feat of going In opposite direc- tions at the same time. He condemns his present associate commissioners be- cause he "could do nothing" as they see the railroad way" but admits with out condemnation, that he 'could do nothing" even if given two men who would see his way Slew footed logic? Is it worthy of candidate for Governor of a State? Is such can didate worthy of the support of sane people? Dear people, we blush for Ala bama that she has such a self coAdem- mated politically benighted man offer ing for it's highest official station.
 This hobby-horse that MT. Conner IS riding, is tring-haltered, spawned and belIowsed Moreover, it has got the botts, We may not be exactly clear in our mind as to what the botts. is, or are, as the case may be, but 1t has ai- ways been our impression that an ani- mai with the botts had reached the limit of utter use1esshess; and that is present and prospective official re1a- tions with the State.
 MT. Conner is drawing $3.OOO year from the tax payers. and in a position where he can do nothing. Why should he continue in office and pocket this money? He doesn't need 1t and it does seem to us that a man so ard entIy devoted to the cause" of the people would refuse to accept their hard earned money. especially when, by his own admission, he can give them no return for 1t.

Corners inerests In the lateness of the primary. which Is not very fiatterinG after all, for a strong man with 8 strong case should grow stronger all the time, This is a fact that. cannot be successfully controverted, and as The News is MT Comer's mouthpiece the cry from 1t Is a tacit acknowledgement that he is not only not gaining ground but actually falling backward. This IS our belief but we had hardly expected to hear it voiced by his advocates.
 
 We'll, the people in this neck of fhe woods have grown sick and tired oi this .''spe1f' anyway. They think Mr. Conner sold them out when ne only used his position as President of the Railroad Commission as steppLns stone to the Governors chair ana tney fear If he got that he would only use it as another stepping stone, so they aIs going to vote for Dr. Cunningham ang q it is true that Conner is losing ground every day, but, as we stated in the pc ginning. we had hardly expected tne confession to come from his side or the house.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-01-20

Mir. Conner thinks he Is particularly happy when in his speeches he says the men who say he should stay where he is were opposed to him when he was a candidate for Railroad Commission er Granted, but that does not weaken the force of the argument that he ran for the position and made all sorts of promises as to what he would do. He has done nothing and now claims that he can do nothing as commissioners Why then does he blame the commls- sion in the past, or as at present con- stituted. He knew the powers and lim- itations of the commission when he sought place on it. or if he did not he was ignorant to d degree that dis counts his intelligence. Why not try to get two other members of like mind with himself and see what can be done? That would look as if he was really sincere In his expression of desire to secure better railroad regulations. As it is, he stands before the people as an agitator. pure and simple, who having gained one place has his appetite whet- ted for more and now seeks higher office.
