Just why some newspapers should be seeking to create impression of contemplated fraud in the coming pri- mary Is beyond our comprehension. Here Is The Marion County News. which says:

 There is no foundation for charge of unfair treatment of MT. comNr at Selma No man ever received more courteous treatment at the hands of any audience than did Mir. Conner dur ing his opening and long speech. There was no interruption and no disorder. The magnificent welcome accorded to Dr. Cunninfiham in a locality boosting ly claimed as a Conner stronghold was skinner to MT. Conner When he came to his rejoinder his own manner and exhibition of temper and the ac-N tion of many of Mir.

Southern Hallway Men VIII show
 Weak Points.
 Atlantic City Special to Baltimore Sun.
 The rate bill. the drastic railway legislation enacted by Congress, is destined to be a failure, according to the unofficial report which comes from the conference of 100 railway lawyers and traffic managers of the Southern Railroads, who are in conference at the Marlborough-Ble Blenheinl In secret session.
 The outcome of the conference, from present indications, will be the formu- lating of a general plan to adopt the bill and apply regulations in uniform manner. in order to prove that the measure is fmpracticable of applica- ton Judge Baxter, who appears to be leading the advocacy of meeting the legislation fairly. and square1y, has given the rate legislation thorough study. and his view is Accepted by the conference that 1t is a vague, conflict ing and tangIe of words. and that while theoretically 1t was designed for the benefit of both shipper and railway. 1t is such an inconsistent measure that 1t must rail-
 The railway men. when the conf . ence adjourned, were favorable to making united effort on similar lines to apply the bill to the working of the Southern railwayseand to communicate their Intentions and their deductions to the other railways of the nation.

TOTE FAIR.

Why not tote fair" Mir. Conner. you and your fellow spouters. You tell the people that sthe railroads in Georgia charge less for the same freight tho same distance than they charge in Alabama" You create the Impression that the railroads do this voluntarily and charge them with dis crininating against the Alabama ship per You do this either intentionally or ignorantly. If you do 1t in ignor- ance. you are not fit to be Governor of Alabama. or do you not know, and isn't it your duty to tell the people. that 1t is not the voluntary act of the railroads in Georgia You know very we'll, or if you don't you should, and 1t is your duty to tell the peo- pie. that the Georgia Railroad Com mission forces the railroads to the lower rate, and by which they pro- test that they are not permitted to earn an adequate return on their investment.
 Again, you repeat that the Birming- ham district alone furnishes more tonnage than the whole State of Georgia sThis is done to give the peo- pie an idea--a false idea-of the enor- nous amount of money the Alabama railroads are making over the amount they charge" in Georgia. But you do not tell the people as you should tell them. that this same tonnage in this same Birmingham district is hauled at a less rate than any tonnage in Georgia--that the railroads make less on 1t, that on account of the very low rate at which it is handled Bir- ningham is able to compete with Pittsburg in her iron and coal output --that she is put on an equality before the iron markets of the world, and that, on account of the extremely lib- eral policy of the railroads Birming- ham actually sets the price of pig iron Why don't you tell the people these things3 For what reasonN do you keep this information from them? We will tell you: Solely because 1t helps you get ofiice. Is that fair? Don't you know that the people should repudiate you--defeat you overwheim- ingly at the polls? Don't you know 1t? And don't you know that they would do it if they knew all the facts? Why don't you tote fair7" You know you wouldn't have any ease if you did--and no office
 will you succeed in fooling the people again? Not if they are as wide awake as to your ways and methods as they ought to be.

A Chicago professor has evolved from some portion of his inner con- seriousness the theory that woman liv- ed before man and ruled him for ages. being greatly his superior in Ill things" Somehow or other we need a diagram for that. If woman lived be- fore man how could she rule him, when there was no man to be ruled? As The Kansas City Journal says
 We confess to a mild surprise at the threshold of our meditation upon this new philosophy. Our observation had led us to the hypothesis that woman was after man, and had been after him for a long time. We could never be so brutally unchivalrous as to be- Neve that woman was older than man; and. thirdly, we have never read or heard of a time when woman didn't rule man. That mans superiority ov- CT woman was adventitious. as the professor contends, is news to us w. had heen led to believe that woman was a side issue, as 1t were, and that man had become small potatoes and few in the hill" through the operatto of the memorable laws of dleteties which make spare ribs and -'otatoes go well together.
 However. any one is wasting time who tries to keep pace with one of those Chicago professors.

The Advertiser has letter which says:
 T took a poll Of Fort Davis yester- day and the enclosed list explains itself. Out of fourteen votes here Cunningham will get thirteen. That looks very much like Macon county will go i've to one for Conner. doesn't it?"
 There is accompanying this letter the names of the fourteen voters in the beat. and only one of them rec ords his va e for Conner. We repeat that the Conner game is one of brag and bluff and buster and that. too in the face of acknowledged facts to the contrary of what they claim.
 If one listens to MT. Conner and his followers there Is but one issue In this State. that of railroad regulation. On the other hand Lieutenant Cover nor Cunningham. while an earnest be- Iiever in railroad rate regulation, shows that there are many other is- sues of vital importance to the people.

Without any other and than his own personal efforts and the support of many of the newspapers of the State Dr. Cunningham has eonduced the most remarkable campaign in Alabama's history. He trusts the people and makes his appeals directly to them. That he has made tremendous inroads on Conner strongholds is shown by the frantic efforts of the Comerites all over the State. Their activity bellies their assertion of victory by immense majority.
