MAY CIRCULATE GOLD.


Not Enough Small Hank Notes gre Washington Special
 With the inability of the Treasury Department to supply small bills for crop-moving purposes it will not be very long before the Treasury will be compelled to pay out $5 and s10 gold pieces.
 It was hoped that the banks. respond ing to Secretary Shaw's request, would take out enough small bills to supply many have done so the supply is wholly inadequate to meet the demand. and no other means is left except to pay out gold.
 About the best the Treasury can do now is to send out $20 bills. and of these even the supply Is limited. What Is wanted are notes of $10, $5, S2 and $l denominations. and of these the Treasury has practically none.
 At the Treasury 1t Is said there would have been consideeTably more the South and West if small bills could have been supplied. AS they could not, these sections have not ask ed for money in the same volume as Is usual at this time of year.
 It IS against the policy of the Treas urv to put gold in circulation unless absolutely necessary. The expense of moving 1t is very considerably more to the shipper than currenc-- and to of the abrasion to which 1t is subject. The life of a gold piece in acti'-, cir culation is not over few years, as by abrasion 1t is soon reduced in weight below the limit of tolerance al- lowed by law and has to be recoined.

 The race between Dr. Cunningham and Mir. Conner was much closer than many had anticipated. MT, Conner Is the winner, and he will become in Jan uary, Governor of Alabama.
 The Age-Herald has faith that with responsibility will come to him. a shrewd and successful business man, a due sense of conservatism He will, we feel sure. do nothing to prevent the laying of single additianal rail In this State. He will stand for the States development and prosperity. We need many additional railroads We need q direct line to Huntsville. and another to St. Andrews Bay, and the entire western tier of counties sorely needs q trunk line
 Governor elect Conner will do noth- ing, we feel sure. to minimize the States development, and the hope IS freely entertained that he will turn his business capacity and executive talent to the devising of plans that will add 10 the glory of the State. and there fore to the ~lorv of his own name. He can do it, and The Age Herald antict- pates action at his hands that means the filling of our waste and inoecu- pied acres, and the attraction or varied industries He can do much Tor the up building of the State. and he assurediy will not pull down or emparrass any desirable interest

SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER.
And How the Post Office Revenue Can
 Be Increased.

Publishers of newspapers, magazines and other periodicals entered at the postoffice as second-clasS matter are deeply interested in the findings which may be made by joint committee of the United States Senate and House of Representatives whose appointment has been provided for to investigate the whole subject of second-class mall matter with a view to increasing the rate of postage upon 1t. The sugges- tion of the increase of rate is an out come of an attempt to overcome annual deficits in the operation of the Post office Department, and is akin to keep ing both the bung and the spigot of barrel open while stopping up one of the main pipes of supply to the con- tents of the barrel. The attempt is an expression of a theory that second class mail matter is the cause of the deficits, when, as a matter of fact, it Is one of the main creators of the postal revenues.
 It cannot be denied that there are abuses of the second-class rate, notably in the circulation as legitimate period icals of publications which are essen tially mere promoters of special or ln- dividual interests and which should be compelled to pay at least double the class postage rates. All publish CTS of genuine periodicals may be eX pected to aid the postal authorieies in suppressing this abuse. But because such abuse may prevail is no reason why the great mass of second-rate ma terial should be made to bear the bur den of the operations of the Postoffice Department; it is no reason for the slaughter of the goose that really lays the Postoffice Departments golden egg.
 If the members of the joint congress sonal committee have any doubts on that point they should read a couple of little pamphlets, Job Jobson" and "Job Jobson's Number Two" written by Winner Atkinson of Philadelphia, Pa. and dealing with the postal deficit and second-class mail matter, and, at any rate, representatives of the differ ent kinds of periodicals included in second class mail should demonstrate that such publications are essentially creators of flrst-class business for the Potofice Department In statements of the expenses of that department the important fact is overlooked that mil lions of dollars a year are spent by 1t in circulating free of postage every year government publications by the million in number and by the thousands in tons. such as the Congressional Record, bulky bound vo1umes of re- ports of divers bureaus, pamphlets and other material, some of it coming In direct competition with the work Of individual authors and publishers.

There will be no political campaigns for a good while and in the meantime there should be unceasing work for Greater Montgomery" In fact that idea should never be lost sight of. If we are to have the great city we all want there must be work all along the line. In the meantime we must not forget that to get more people we must have work for them to do. That brings up the fact that inducements in the way of sites or money must be offered to industries hunting a loca- ton. There should be no difficulty about 1t. The town which does the best by the industry generally gets it. We must remember this fact &C., eordingly.

Mere Mans Inconsistencies.

Atch1Son, kaS Globe.
 Men are queer Wouldn't there be a roar when they went home to their meals if they had to climb up on a high stool in front of a table on which there was no cloth and eat their meals in that fashion? Yet a majority of men when they go to a restaurant to eat will pick out the high stool and the feed board with no cloth on it in preference to comfortable chair and a cloth covered table. A man will bor- row a chew of tobacco and most of them will set their teeth into the plug right over where some other man had gnawed out a chew Offer him piece Of pie at home from which his wife or one of the children had taken bite and he would holler his head off. At home he will not drink out of a glass or cup from which someone of the fam ily has been drinking. Call him into the back stall of a livery barn, pull out a bottle and he will stick the neck Of the bottle half way down his throat in order to get swlg after a half dozen other fellows have had the neck ot he bottle in their mouths.

JudMg by the interest already ex

Judging by the interest already ex- hibited all over Alabama the coming State Fair will be more largely at tended than any ever held in the State. It will be the greatest exhihi- tion of the farm. timber, manufac- turing, mineral and stock products of the State that was ever brought to- geIher. It will so far eclipse all other attempts at State Fair as to make comparisons with them impos- sible. Those who come here will see some things worth travelling, hundreds of miles to- visit and will be amply repaid for their time and money. Cit izens of Montgomery have hardly walked up to the gigantic proportions of this great enterprise. Although we have fine hotel accommodations there will be call for hundreds of outside roooms. and now we must make up our minds that scores upon scores of visitors must be taken care of in private homes. Those who are willing to accommodate few or many visitors can file their names with the committee that will be announced in due time stating number of rooms, prices, etc. We must comfortably take care of the great crowds that will be here.

 The staying qualities of Alabama seekers of public office must be rec ognized as remarkable. Such a cam paign as the one that has just closed has not been had in this State before.

Not one of these. how ever, but will join us In saying that 1t is serious question whether the method of election is productive of best results. It is actually impossible for the candidates to reach more than a small fraction of the people; besides, the expense of the campaign and the tax on physical strength is such that the most deserving m be hindered from presenting themselves fro flee. The spectacle, too, of Supreme Court judges engaged In a scramble for of fee is not pleasant one. Altogether the general primary does not commend itself as a very good thing; quite the contrary, although, as compared with the convention system. as practiced in the past, it certainly has some merit

 The Republican views of tariff re- vision can be summed up in a few brief sentenc The tariff should not be revised before an election because 1t will disturb political conditions. It should not be revised after an election because 1t will disturb business con- ditions. It should not be. revised in seasons of prosperity for fear of stoU- ping the wheels of progress. It should not be reviaed in times of depression for fear of giving impetus to the down. ward trend. It should be revised. If revised at all, by its friends when these and realize the need of revision. Ff- nally President Roosevelt and Speaker Cannon agree on the oracular, if in- definite and meaningless declaration that the Republican party should re- wise the tariff" when it will do more good than harn." Meanwhile the peo- pie are doin~ some thinking for them selves and may revise these views in their oWn way.

 This campaign will go down as the most cowardly ever known in the his tory of Alabama It was difficult to obtain an expression of opinion from most of the public men, and thpus- ands of citizens refused to publicly declare how they stood. There was a species of intolerance prevalent that we hoped had forev er- departed from Alabama. It was painfully in evidence a dozen years ago, when boycotting was powerful weapon, used against those who did not subscribe to uoc- trines which they could not endorse. The intolerance this year was not so great as then, but 1t is a misfortune that any of 1t should have been ex- hibited. This is a free country and every man has right to his opinion, if not in conflict with the law, anu should not be threatened or browbeat- en therefor.
