A Great Book by q Citizen of Mont
 gOinery.

Editor The Advertiser:
 In speaking at Carnegie Hall in Jan uary. Joseph H, Choate. lately Ambas- now famous book, which I trust all of you have read, and IT you have not done 90, I would urge that you consult 1t before the setting of tomorrow'S and It's gifted author is MT. Edgar Gardner Murphy of Alabama"
 Of this book the late Secretary or State, Mir. John Hay. wrote also:
 have read nothing referring to the vital questions 1t discusses at all compare ble with your book in vigor' fairness
 This Judgment of two statesmen of the North is echoed by the Southern The New orleans Picayune, MT. MT phy Is a Southerner, a citizen or AII- Ban a, and he has done gooa WEI this book .. calm and dispassionate eonsid- eration from a Southern point or yieW of some of the Southern problems

Murphy's book will perceive fhnt no southerner of the generation since the war more ger gehnefrho"ssrSSt fhs sSStrit If tbe oid SI5 Sontb and that so far from going North for his Ideas he Is conveying to inc North the very best thought Of thQ South. we VIII ody TUT lHS DOuR fbat it has given better, a clearer. a more optimistic view of the South that was. the south that is, and the south that is to be, than all the other hooks we know anything about"
 No one can read the opinions of the press North and South concerning this book without realizing that in it we nave the most notable contribution to the discussion of the problems of the South than that has been made for at least a generatiou-the sanest most philosophical discussion of the prob lems of the Present South ever at tempted by one of her own sons. Read ing these comments of the press one cannot but be astonished that such q book, treating of such vital problems from a standpoint sympathetic and ln- rrrr-9tive of the best traditions of this section, should be so little known by the fellow citizens of MT. Murphy. It Is gratifying to note that the publish CTS, Messrs. MacMillan of New York, have put on the market paper edition of this great book, "rte Problems of the Present Soath," at the low price of 25S cents, and copy should be in every home in Montgomery.

EVEN THE COURTS ARE BLURRED

The Judges of the Supreme Court of this State for a great many years were selected by conventions. Tn 1904 they were for the first time chosen by a primary. Mir. Conner, in his speeches at the opening of his canvass, de- nounced everything and everybody com nected with State administrations as being under railroad or other corporate domination. We have not heard much of this from him lately. but the seed he sowed sprouts up every now and then. For instance, The Livingston Southern Home. in recent issue, in dulged in this line of talk:
 If the primaries are the safe guards of the people In choosing its public servants, then let the rule hold to the last political son of them.
 The above paragraph is taken from correspondent of The Montgomery Advertiser, who wants a successor to B. B. Conner on the Railroad commis- vertiser gives the proposition editorial endorsement. The principle is right, and 1t should be extended to the nsmi- nation of Supreme Court Judges. A I convention is too easily dominated by trust or corporate infiuences-the pri- | nnaries are not But The Advertiser | Judges by the convention plan. which
 is Known to be the program of the ] railroad interests to get control of the ] Supreme Court and in that tribunal kill | any legislation that may not be in the | interest of the railroads. There is
 neither justice nor consistence in advo-
 eating primaries for one office, and | convention for another.
 | Pray, where did The Home obtain it's
 information that the railroads wanted a | convention to nominate Supreme Court
 Judges. At the time the committee first met, Judge Mcclellan was still living and there would have been only | two places to iii on the Supreme and Dowdell. By common consent,
 they would have been selected 70 sdc- ceed themselves. The death of Chief Juctice Mcclellan makes 1t necessary | for a Chief and two Assocaites to be
 chosen. but 1t is news to the people of Alabama that the railroads are favoring
 the convention plan in order to get | -ntr'u nl ':l" n.S 8"s J'i ''''t. D ..-.. | held and determines who shall fill the
 three positions above mentioned, there
 would still be four Judges who had
 been chosen at primary election. We
 did not know that anybody but MT.
 Conner had so poor an opinion of our 1 Judiciary as to believe that they could
 be influenced by any other than the
 highest considerations of law and pre-
 cedents established by years of prac- l tice

Letters to The Editor
A Card From MT. Henderson. ontaomery. Ala. March 21. 1906,

Montgomery, Ala, March Fl, 1906. Editor The Advertiser:
 to make the unkin6 reference to me that you have in your paper of today. After an election 1t has always been my idea that only kind words should be said of defeated candidates, and everything possible done to unite the party and line up all the members of the family for the nominee. l feared that I would incur your everlasting displeasure in declaring my loyalty to Mir. Conner, and was pained. to see that MT. Teasley came very near commit ting treason in his endeavor to get on the Conner patforn1. in 2 card published for rate Legislation; and Mir Tough ton also came near getting his neck in the halter, when at the Court House meeting he hook ha | Is with MT. Co., rate legislation away back wonder, and was one of the originators of the move ment in the Commercial and Industrial Association. I do know that in stand ing on another mans platform did not go outside the party. for it is en- dorsed very strongly by the last Ma tional Democratic platform and every Democrat in Congress, voting, was in going to support MT, Teasley, and stand by the party organization, in spite or your very uncaIled-for and unkind thrusts, and take occasion to say that l have no regrets or hpdIN UuEhihGS ? over the result. I have often heard 1t said that "lt is not right to strike man when lie is down." as you have done in this instance, but l guess l can survive the displeasure. even of the great party Atlas in Alabama, and will not break my record by bolting the party now. W. A. Henderson.
 (We publish the card of Mir. Hen derson because he seems to be az grieved at. an expression in yesterdays g Advertiser when no offense was ln- tended. He has perfect right to his opinions on any and all subjects and Il 1t interfere with his enjoyment of them. He Is and always has been an earnest and faithful party man and shows his loyalty by his cheerful acceptance of inc results and pledge of support of his competitor. He should not feel az grIevkd with The Advertiser, for from beginning to end of the canvass It said not ore word against him, and did not intend to reflect upon him in the least in the article of which he compains.- Editor The Advertiser.)
