NEW CAUSE FOR DIVORCE.

To be poor has not ordinarily been considered a crime. It is a great in- convenience. we may admit, but not criminal. So it has generally been ad- mitted that if husband is not finan- cially able to employ household help, and the wife is able to do the house. work she has no just cause of conn plaint if she is required to do 1t. It is only a fair division of burdens and responsibilities, and though a right kind of man may regret that his wife is compelled to do household drudgins if he is not able to pay for help the wife should be willing to do her part of the work.
 This does not seem to be the view taken by a New Jersey wife, how ever. She Is suing for divorce on the ground of "extreme cruelty" the cruel ty consisting in the fact that her hus- band requires her to do the house. hold work, which she claims Ifs un- becoming a lady" We have seen no statement of the husbands pecuniary circumstances, but the inference is that he is not rich enough to employ house servants.
 When Adam delved and Eve span. Wno was then the gentleman"
 asks an old ryhmer. and we might also ask who was the lady? If a man who labors cannot now be gentleman, or If the wife who does her house work cannot be lady. it cuts out a goodiy number of the population.
 The good husband who sees his wife doing the work of a servant may re- gret the necessity of it. and may fee1 mortified that he is not not able to relieve her of such tasks, but he has not been in the habit of regarding him. self as a criminal from whom inc courts should separate his wife in ar. der that she may be a lady. That is a new view to take of a husbands poverty and one that will strike them as a downright hardship. As The In- dianapolls Star looks at 1t, such a man heretofore has not realized that he was placing a stigma upon his wife and placing her in a position unbecom- ing a lady. Now. If it shall develop that the woman who is compelled to do her own cooking and sweeping and scrubbing is lowered fin her own es- teem and that of her neighbors and is no more to be regarded as a lady then woe unto impecunious husbands. Their impecuniosity can only be im- puted to them as crime. The chance that they may be saved lies in the fact that the court is a man"

THE PATRICK CASE.

Noting the fact that Mir. Cleveland has joined in with those who are try ing to save Lawyer Patrick from the electric chair. The Raleigh Times says: The pardon mania has seized Mt. Cleveland. just as 1t has seized and deceived many other good men" In this The Times does the ex-President an injustice. In all thisE broad land there is no man of cooler. better bal anced judgment than Mir. Cleveland Is. There Is none who is less likely to be carried away by sentiment. nor is there one less likely to use his name and influence to obstruct the course of jus tice.
 In addition to sound judgment and an unusual capacity for arriving at the truth in all matters, Mir. Cleveland is a sound lawyer and Is fully capa- ble of arriving at just conclusion in any matter involving legal compli- cations If he has doubts as to the guilt of Patrick we may safely take it for granted that the doubts rest on solid ground. The Times is mistaken when, in speaking of the conviction of Patrick, 1t declares that "the chain of evidence against him was complete. !" for it was not, The principal witness, and the one upon whose testimony the lawyer was convicted, Is shown to be not above grave suspicion. and think ing, level-headed men like Mir. Cleve- land and others are unwilling to see his victim put to death on his testi- nony The murder of Rice was hid eous crime. and his slayer should suf- fer for 1t, but it Is at least possible that if Patrick is electrocuted the law will commit another murder Better bide bit before condemning Mir.

Az Unexpeeted Incident.

Hon. B. B. Conner, candidate for Gov ernor. addressed g fair sized and appre- ciative audience in the court house here. His speech was along the same lines of his former addresses in the campaign and nothing new developed
 Mir. R. P. Hobson. who was present. created a little sensation when he ask ed the privilege for speaking few minutes and after iudorsing Mir. Co., mer's position on the railroad question turned to Capt. Bankhead. who was sit- ting near, and demanded to know whether or not he was for Mir. Conner for Governor. Mfr. Bankhead replied that he denied the right of any man to demand of him who he would support for any office in the state, and that he specially denied the right of man to ask such question who himself had never qualified to vote in any election in the State.
 The incident was freely discussed on the streets and Mir. Conner denied that he had any knowledge of MT, Hobson's intention to be present or to demand any such information.

Surprising and Regrettable to Execute
 Sentence.
 New York Times.
 Petitions in behalf of men and wo- men convicted of murder have been far from rare. and. of late years, at least, 1t can probably be said with truth that numerous signatures to such a peti- tion for lenfency could be secured, If anybody tried. In all cases where the crime committed Is not only proved with certainty. but 1t Is also of pecu- liarly atrocious character. The very Idea of capital punishment has come to be repugnant to almost all of us ex- cept in moments of passionate indigna- ton. and usually we are content when excuse to commute a death sentence to life Imprisonment. The Patrick pc. tition, however, is very different from the ordinary products of sentimental ality and distaste for the taking of life Not only is 1t signed by men little wont to be moved by anything except logic and reason. but 1t is signed by men who have a high regard for forms Of law and the orderly execution of legal process. For once the demand is for that which it is customary desire to avoid-Justice. as defined in the stat. utes and based on a due weighing of the testimony by which the conviction was reached. In other words, the peti. tion harmonizes well with the attitude taken by Patrick hinself--7the atti. tude which has created in so many minds the uneasy tear that the man was not convicted beyond the tradi- tional doubt" as understood in the courts. His courage and his appeal only for justice have aroused a sort of sympathy for him. which, while not at all warm, Is likely to be effective We do not know that he has many friends, but it is obvious that he has raised up helpers of a sort perhaps never before secured by man accused of crime like his. It would be sur prising and we think regrettable. if the sentence under which he now lies were to be executed.

stnndnrd RottIes Needed

H. E. Taylor in The American Grocer.
 One of the most particular things that should be looked after at the pres ent time Is the improper selling of goods packed in glass The whole trouble can easily be remedied by sim ply having the States pass a law re- quiring that all goods packed in glass have the actual containin~ capacity of the glass blown in the bottle showing the actual capacity of fluid that 1t will contain. This will put competition on a fair basis, and not compel buyer to rely upon the statement of tho sell lers as to what the bottle will con tain. For instance. l have known cat sup sold. said to he in a pint bottle that in reality holds only about ten ounces of water, and other sizes in pro- portion. Investigation of the different of what they are supposed to contnin. would prove d revelation. There arc few bottles commonly known as half plnts, pints and quarts that do not con- tain anything near the standard meas- ure. There are so-called pint bottles of catsup that vary anywhere in capac- ity from twelve to eighteen ounces. Olive oil bottles said to hold half -pints, pints and quarts contain only five oun- ces. ten ounces and twenty ounces, and in some cases eighteen ounces respect iveiy This is an imposition. It should be stopped, and l would suggest that you advocate the passing of law compelling a uniformity of sizes. As you know, the Baltimore cannerS have standard size for cans. Why not have the same thing exist in making bottles

The Philadelphia Bulletin thinks that 1t is dincult to credit the report that Secretary Root proposes to find some way--by executive order" per haps---to cireumvent the law that led to Germany's retaliatory tarih if the senate refuses to sanction a proper re- ciprocity treaty. However much such a result is needed, it does not lie with the executive to attempt. by evasion or otherwise to usurp the prerogatives which are expressly conferred upon the Senate"

WHY SHOULD ONE VOTE.

We use the term bad citizen" ad- visedly when we apply it to those men, who no matter show esumablt in other respects they may be, forget and fall in the duty which, as electors they owe to themselves, their fami- lies. their city and their State. The suffrage has been placed in their hands, not only to protect themselves and their own liberties. but as a trust to be exercised for the benefit and well being Ot women, infants and other un- enfranchised persons who must look to the electors as their representatives and the guardians and protectors of their interests and rights. The cleo toral franchise is not a right but q privilege and a trust. The elector, therefore, who fails to exercise his privilege not only wrongs himself but is guilty of a breach of trust in that he fails to speak as elector for those whom the law does not permit to speak for themselves.
 The above stron' words are from The Richmond Journal. but who can deny the justice of them. We are to have in November of this year. an election in Alabama for Governor and all other State Otse.es, ns1nbeFs eG

MONTGOMERY IS ENTI1LED T,
 SOMETHING.

sOAM4ktANtre
 The authorities in this city have
 been remarkably generous. to use a polite term. in the matter of franchises to be used solely for the benefit of individuals. They gave up the gas lighting franchise for long period and
 extended 1t for still greater length
 of time without one cent of income
 reaching the city till That grant Is
 exclusive.
 The street railway companies have
 had favors eished out with a lavish
 hand and yet again private individ lals
 have reaped the benefits. and the city
 has gone pennfless. The council which
 went out of of1ce October last. sig
 nalised itself by adoption of an ordi-
 nance forbidding tho further giving
 of franchises without some benefit to
 the city treasury in return therefor and
 in that act emphasized the fact that it
 should have been the law for many years back.
 l As the street car matter stands to-
 day. the two companies recently oper-
 ated unde~ separate interests. are now
 owned and controlled by one interest. They are. however. practically as they
 were before the Traction Company
 bought the Montgomery Street Rail-
 way Company, except as to ownership.
 If it has occurred to the general anb- lie that they could transfer from one
 system to the other without extra
 charge they have learned differently. It is well enough to recall little
 history in connection with the grant
 ing of the Traction Company fran chise. That franchise was granted to Barry L. Holt. his associates, suc- cessors and assigns.s In Section 5, of the ordinance the right was re- served to the city to regulate fares and transfers for the carriage of pas sengers" over its line.
 In Section IA. 1t is ordained That in the event the said railway shall be consolidated with or pass into
 any or other street railways having tracks upon the same street with it, then, and, in either of said events. the
 rSs rw6 companies so owned or operated +s shall use but one track on said streets or parts thereof, and all rights to any other than one tfack upon any one street or part thereof shall be for feited.
 Since the purchase of the Montgom- cry Street Railway by the Fraction owners the petition has been filed for connection between the two systems so as to make it for operating pur- poses one system. This Is certainly the granting of another and a very
 valuable franchise and the law enacted
 by the last council if ever lived up to
 should be lived up to in this case. It is very true that the council granted two franchises, but we believe the right to make one out of two is a franchise equal in value to either of the original ones. The value of the
 street railway rights in Montgomery cannot be calculated. The city is growing at a rapid rate and more rap-
 idly in the direction where it will
 be necessary to use cars than in any
 other part and under present arrange
 ments the owners of the two lines
 have a monopoly which 1t will be dif-
 ficult if not impossible to change.

both branches of the Legislature. two members of the Supreme Sourt. two Railroad Commissioners. sheriff of each county and a representative in Congress from each district. This cer- tainly is enough to create interest in
 the mind of every person who can qualify as voter. yet what do we seef Unless the men between the ages of twenty-one and forty-five pay on or before February lst poll tax, they will be deprived of the right to vote in the party primary which will choose nominees for all tho above named places. The proportion of this class to the whole number of males above twenty-one years of age. is 50 per cent. so that sixty out of every 100 are subject to poll tax. It is re- ported that all have paid up in a few counties, but the great bulk of them have been singularly derelict. Accord ing to the returns in Montgomery less than 500 men had paid poll tax up to January ist. We have over 1000 white men of voting age in this county and VII shS paSfS auoNS StNch osvVV oA thSh
 are subject to poll tax and must pay or be deprived of all right of franchise for any election in Alabama during the year 1906. This must be paid in less than thirty days and cannot after that be paid in time to vote in the November election. The showing for Montgomery indicates that e,5oo men are yet to pay this tax. Surely they value the right of fran chise very lightly if they allow s1.oo to stand between them and the exer- else of their privileges as a voter.
 What Is said above as to Montgom- cry county applies with equal force to nearly every county in the State.

Some of our contemporaries are dis cussing Congressional mileage and showing up the workings of the mile aMe wrab." as they term 1t For exam pie, The Raleigh Evening Times re- marks:
 For instance, a member from Balti- more receives s16.S0 to pay his railroad fare when the rate bs only SIPS. When he has added twenty-five cents for a seat on a Pullman train and another twenty-five cents as fee for the DOT ter he still profits greatly by the transaction and he will continue to stand by the grah, now that the Penn sylvania Railroad has abolished all free passes. A member from Texas re- caives So00 as his mileage expense which Is sufficient to send him to Eu- rope and back provided he is not too extravagant in his style of travelling.
 Of course the inconsistency of such charges Is apparent. On most of the railroads the fare is three cents mile, or less, while the Congressman gets twenty. For all that. we are firmly of the impression that our members of Congress are not overpaid. and as the law allows them stated mileage why should there be objection to their re- ceiving it.
