How She Could Get a Shock.

One day an electric car was derailed
on the main street. The conductor
went to a nearby Office and telephoned
for the work gang. When he return
ed to the scene of the accident he
saw that the passengers were on one
side of the track with the exception OF
one lady, who seemed to be afraid to
cross the rails.
When the conductor drew near she
asked, in a timid voice: Would I get
a shock if | put my foot on that rail? ?"

he was picking out what he thought

SETrING IT RIGHT.

A few days ago we copied from The Baldwin Standard a portion of one of it's editorialG on the tariff. The stan dard complains that we did 1t injus- tice by leaving off a portion of It's ar ticle. so at the risk of tiresome repe- tition we give it's editorial entire. The Advertiser had said that maybe some of the highly protected industries paid higher wages on account of that pro- lection. and The Standard replied:
 Yes. "it may be" that some of the highly protected industries pay bet ter wages because of that protection which prevents competition, but there is no known instance of such cases. Ths inan..rIdn ,arin m may enablG the protected it does not compel them to do so They really pay no more than they are compelled com shi tGi In n,,O other words they determined by the law of supply and demand. If there are few men as compared with the number of jobs, the are many men after a fewer number of jobs. Highly protected industries keeps the price of such commodities ing consumers as well as producers, get the worst of the deal We believe that the so-ealled protective tariff has a cue excepting the very few individ- uals who have been enriched by it at the expense of the masses, since their interests as wage earners are less than their interests as consumers. The Ad- vertiser should show the tariff fraud no quarter, demand it's unconditional repeal It's got to go Let that be the party cry in the coming nation al campaign.
 We agree with The Standard that the protective tariff is and has always been burden. but when that paper advocates the unconditional repeal of the whole tariff system, it indulges in a pipe dream with which we have no sympathy Free trade has been the dream of misguided enthusiasts for 10 these many years. It has never ma teriaIized and never will. The Adver- tiser can see no reason for joining In the demand for the total abolition of the tariff, but We do see cogent req sons why the strictly protective feat ures should be abolished. That kind of tariff is a burden to the many for the benefit of the few, and it is wrong. As long as the Government needs rev. enue, large portion of it must be de- rived from duties on imports, but those duties can be so fixed as to be practically fair for all the people as well as for the manufacturers.
 But 1t is a waste of time to discuss thIs matter with one who believes in free trade, for there can be no agree ment and we prefer not to argue about

SUNDAY. JULY I. 1906.

Our New Hampshire Republican con- temporary, The Manchester Union. dis oussing the question of the rights of fhe States, says that in some. respects the matter was settled years ago, but the principle remains and now and again is recognized. both by the Su- preme Court and by Congress Re- gently, the old, old question has been revived in reference to federal con troi of insurance companies. and the outcome Is significant. Following a unanimous report from the judiciary committee of the House that Congress has no power under the constitution to supervise or regulate marine, fire or life insurance, except in the District of Columbia and the territories, comes 6 unanimous report from the Senate Judiciary committee to the same ef- feet. It is especially to be noted that these reports were In both cases unanimous. Notwithstanding the lu- gubrious pessimism Sf extremists. the States still have some rights which no one pretends to dispute or pro- poses to take away"
 It Is somewhat encouraging to have New England Republican admit that the States have any rights which the federal government cannot override.

Letters to the Editor.
statement By Judge Coleman.

Editor The Advertiser:
 While in Montgomery Thursday l bad no conversation with any one connected with The Advertiser and any part of which was intended for publication, l was careful to state, was out of poli- tics. although as a citizen, felt deep interest in securing good laws and good State off ials. I gave no opinion as to the result of the primary election in Greene County, but did state that pr. Cunningham made a good speech left q good impression, and that he had to hear him between one hundred and seVenty-flVe and two hundred persons, a fine attendance considering the fact, that probably not exceeding six hun fred votes would be cas- at the pri- mary.
 trouble with pr. Cunningham. grew out of the conditions that he did not reach the rural reuters. that many did not reullze tha- freight or grain, hardware and groceries shipped from other states into Alahall@, md on ltton shipped from Alabama to other states and coun- tries and discriminations on such and control or State Legislation and the State Railroad Comm ission and the peo- ple should be SO informed.
 'I referred also to the fact that Mir. Conner was an extreme man, Judging from his views and reported manner, and more so, than any candidate had ever known, for a state office. l may have limited the time to twenty-five years. I referred also to the great question of education. immigration, question of as much importance to the State as any other and which required statemansbip to deal with and legisla- tive experience.
 But all of these statements, however. were made in general conversation and coupled with the preliminary state ment that they were private and not for publica ton.

The Christian Recorder "a Negro pa

The Christian Recorder a Negro pa per, published in Philadelphia, takes exception to the theory held by some that the inferiority of the negro is because of the color of his skin. It says:
 The relief of the situation then Is not in change O. color. but in a change of condition. When the Negroes own as much property as the whites. and do proportionately as much business equals of the whites but will be rec oRnized though their skins be black as ink. Today only half of the Negro race can read and write, while fifteen When the Negro becomes as inteiIi- gent as the white man his conduests ln the world of thought will be as great as those of the whites without regard to his color. and he will be the white mans equal
 The Recorder indulges In that same old irrldescent dream of equality. To a certain extent the paper is correct an its contention that the color Of the mhfn Is not at the bottom of negro in- feriority. The cause Is deeper than that, for 1t lies In the mentality of the race. The negroes as a race nave never accomplished anything of importance and never will when left to themselves. The Idea that education and land own ership will equalize the races is q 9atuous dream that will never be real. ized. The white man will dominate this country as he does everywhere else.

Demand for the Bible.

The sale of the Bible increases with wonderful rapidity During the year ending March 1906, nearly 5000, 900 copies of the scriptures were circuiat- ed by the British and Foreign Bible Society, which exceeded the society's previous highest output by 33,O0O cop ies. This is the more remarkable in the face of the disturbed conditions which have prevailed in Russia. China and Japan. where some of the society's heaviest sales take place. The poly glot nature of the Bible s0ciety's work is instanced in the fact that at Win nipeg, for example, the scriptures were supplied in forty-three different lan- guages, while at Johannesburg vers- ions in fifty-two languages were sold at the depot in that city, and fifty third was asked for by a newcomer, who demanded a Bible in Icelandic, which the agent had not in stock. Dur ing the past year eleven new languages have ben added to the society's list of versions.
