WEDNESDAY. AUGUST |. .sss.

The continued complaints about the scarcity and high price of Ice up North leads us to wonder why some enter prisfng Yankee doesn't tackle one ot the immense icebergs that are wander lns around and tow 1t into New York or Boston waters. These immense masses of lee sometimes weighing mill lions of tons. are often found floating n the Atlantic and Paeihci oceans, where they are real rnenace to navi- gatfon. If one of the big fellows could be carried to port and cut up into blocks we should think it would pretty eEectaaiiy put the lee trust out of bus- inAss, for a time at least. We don't know how much the largest one weighs but as they have been known to ex- tend as much as 26e feet above the surface of the sea. and as at least two- thirds Of the mass Is, below the surface it is plain that one of the largest would Hii quite number of orders.

REGISTER.

There were at the close of the regis sration books in 1eo4 several thousand white men in this state. who for one cause or anothen he'd failed to bavs their names enrolled. All those at that time. over 45 years of age. were exs empt from poll tax and if they will reg ister between now and the 27th of Au- gust, they will be entitled to vote in the Democratic primary on that day provided they are Democrats. It is la nentabIe to think of the number of white men who can make themselves voters, who faii to do so. If 1t Is care- lessness 1t speaks poorly for their in- tellissnce and patriotism. In their eases 1t is not question of paying anything for they are free of poll tax.
 The men under 46 years of age in 1904. who had failed to register have many of them paid all they owe on poll tax requirements. and yet strange to say there are still some of that class. who have not registered. They must remember that the possession of poll tax receipt will do them no good with out they have been regularly regis tered
 A great many men have moved into Alabama from other States and have been here the requisite time for regis tration. All young men who have re- gently become of age. are also entitled to register. Altosether at least 75.oOo white men are entitled to registration and yet 50 far, since the books have been opened. the reports are that very few have thus qualified themselves for for registration, after the books close this year. until 1908 and non-registra- ton dspEiwes those 90 situated not only from voting at regular elections. but from participation in party primaries.

HAVE TAKEN HIS MEASURE.

when man becomes candidate for an important office it is both customs ary and proper for him to go cut and let the people know his claims and views. Perhaps 1t would be more dig- nifed if all personal canvassing were abandoned, but 1t is too much the es- tablished custom now to be abolished or discontinued. As 1t Is now the rule to canvass, the proper thing to do is to conduct a fair and digniied campaign. A candidate should not fife claims be- fore the great jury of the people that he cannot sustain, nor should he put forth pledges and promises that he cam not make good. A campaign of blow, brag and bluster is not creditahie to our people or our institutions.
 The great weakness of Mir. Conner lies in the fact that he set out with the belief that the people would put faith in everything he said and would voTs for him on the strength of his asser- tionS. He started 10 make a whirl- wind canvass, thinking he had the field practically to himself. and that all he he'd to do was to tell the people what great things he had done and what greater things he would do if they would make him Governor of Alabama. He thought nobody would call him down or oppose and expose his prepos- terous claims.
 To his surprise and chagrin he finds that he was badly mistaken. He has opposition that he cannot talk down or of Alabama want something more sub stantial than hot air. and that bluster is not argument. The discovery that success is more than doubtful. and that brag is not convincing, has upset what little dignity and discretion he started out with. He has become demoraliSed. reckless and almost desperate. He finds that the thinking Democrats Of Alabama are abandoning him because their eyes have been opened to the shallowness of his pretentions and the unreliability of many of his statements.
 In Dr. Cunningham the people have an opportunity to vote for a conserva- tive, well-balanced gentleman, who has in the past given ample evidence that he Is well fitted for the high office to which he aspires. Behind him is a record of important duties well per- formed and before him and with him Is the consciousness of merit and expe- rience and the determination to act well the part that may be assigned him in public affairs. A campaign of brag is not to his taste and Is not his idea of statesmanship, and 1t is a pleasure to know that he has not conducted one of that kind It is not to be wondered at that so many of MT. Corners former adherents have taken the measure of the man and have turned from him with something akin to disgust. They have found that he Is not the sort of man for Governor and have determined not to trust him with the office. be- cause they plainly see that the oppor- tunity is before them to support man who is In every way qualified and de- serving.
 And that's what aiis Conner.

 If, Mir. Bryan Is the Democratic candi- date for President in 1908. and the con ditions that shape political issues un- dergo no material change during the intervening period, he will go before he will make his fight for election. He will stand for tariff revision, for legislation to curb and regulate the trusts, and for the establishment of an understanding that the Filipinos shall he allowed to govern themselves as soon as 1t appears. that they are fit for f-government. There will be no declarations in Mir. Bryan's platform in regard to the mon ey question. which he now regards as a dead issue, although, as he showed in recent interview he has no apologies to make for the position he took on that question in 1896 and 1900.
 One of Mir. Bryan's closest friends, and one who undoubtedly knows what he is talking about says that Mir. Bryan when he prepared that interview meant to put into 1t his last word about the silver question. 'T do not think" said my informant, that he contemplates uttering anything further on that sub ject He left the past behind him with terview contains. Possibly he might have got along with even fewer words but dare say he wrote the interview hurriedly and did not look at 1t when 1t was done. From all possible points or view It Is all over now.

MAKING, HIS CANVASS ON
 NARROUlNESS AND PREJUDICE.

Bessemer Weekly.
 The sorfiest candidate for guberna- torial honors nthe history of the state is Mir. B. B. Conner. who for year past has been canvassing the state ap- pealing to the ignorance ana pre5udice of his hearers by the plea that tho railroads of the state are defrauding and, swindling their patrons the peo- pie. This appears to be MT comer's port, the fact that he thinks he is demonstrating and establishing the rascality of. the railroads. If in aia canvassing he has ever discussed any other subject bearing upon tho inter- ests of the people, we have failed to discover it.
