Governor Cunningham.

CuIlman Democrat
 pr. Cunningham stands for all, in the railroad rate idea, that MT. Conner stands for; in addition he stands for the past, present and future of the Democratic party-that party that gave the South a white mans governmen; ; that drove the carpetbagger and the negro out of the State Capitol; that gave the ballot back into the hands of the brave Confederate soldier and took it away from the negro and the scala wag.
 MT. Conner has denounced the pre- vious Democratic administrations as dishonest, railroad tools and hirelings. He proclaims himself as the one hope of the people and demands that they turn the State over 10 him bag and baggage. He has gone over the State telling the. people that 1t Is his royal will and pleasure that MT. So and So be elected to office and thai. unless they vote for the men he designates. they should not vote for him (Mr. Co., mer). The people in the counties where primaries have been held have turned down this dictatorship good and hard; Whether or not MT Conner will read the minds of the people in this matter and modify his expressions. is to be seen. Unless he does so 1t is our opin- ion that he will be defeated by larg- CT majority than any man who ever aspired to office in Alabama.

BROOKLYN RUFFIANIsM.

We hear and have read much of the border ruffians" of half a century ago. We still hear something about rowdyism in the West and even the South Is looked on by certain denlzens fuIness and good order, but if we may judge from what we find in Brooklyn newspapers we think that city can give almost any other portion of the Union long odds and come out in the lead. Here is a specimen from The Eagle.
 Here are facts Illustrating the im- perative need of sharper punishment.
 soesi cinS mSrf to the he lumber eDeF Of 17O or thereabouts. boarded Bath Beach train at Ulmer Park. They took com plete possession of every car, smash ea ed in free fights among \ themselves and defied every effort of the train hands to restore order. Riots of this riots. are, to the annoyance and per. sonal injury of peaceful citizens and to the disgrace of the police and the ssusts woS Thss aG nHf t ass a suSh nS sor ss0n the exponents of this particular kind of Hooliganism.
 What can the wild and woolly West" or the "uncivilized South." as our critics sometimes designate us, have to show that is worse than this! It was an exhibition of worse than savagery.- and if this were the only case of the kind we might think some extraordinary cause was behind it. but 1t was not. Reading the papers of both Brooklyn and New York we find frequent mention of the way the toughs, hoodlums and all other brands of rowdies frequently take possession of trolley-cars and drive off or terro- rize decent people. These rowdies have no respect for age or sex. and seem to be perfectly lawiess and in- different, and incapable of shame.
 The Eagle says that the Rapid Tran sit Company is doing what 1t can to put down this lawlessness but unfor- tunately the company gets but little help or encouragement from the au- thorities. If the police should go so far as to arrest one of the bullies the magistrate lets him off with small fine which has little more de- terrent effect than a glass of water would on such characters. But the police are powerless, or are afraid to interfere. In speaking further of the affair above noted The Eagle states that uniformed officers desert- ed the cars in the midst of the trouble and virtually fled from the scene. A do much to abate or suppress the gross evil complained of. Unless there can some remedy be found Brooklyn and New York will carry off the pennant for rowdyism.

 Enclosed find a clipping from The ninsharn's speech in this county. The part that desire to call your attcn- fion to is the latter part-your change sis. to start with, to the present Ala bama rate. This Is a thing that the ordinary voter don't Understand and looks like a retrograde movement. 1T tho Legislature has the power to make rates, 1t looks like tbey could fix any rate they saw propeb-subjeet to court review. If you deem 1t advisable, l would like for you to explain this matter in a letter to The Lafayette Sun.

For a man created with the repu- tation of being plain spoken, President Roosevelt has to do a large amount of explaining. His letter about not re- ceiving foreign help for San Francisco, has been so generally condemned that he has had to explain that he did not mean to say, help could not go directly to the stricken people. Why didn't he say so at first
 In his interview with the correspon dents last Saturday, breaking the news of his back down on the rate bill, he had much to say but that was followed up by still another statement that he was unatterably in favor of the House bill. and that anybody who had any sense. ought to see that the accepted amendment didn't change conditions.

Several Good Reasons

There are several reasons why The Sentinel is for Cunningham and op- posed to Conner for the nomination. One Is, we consider Cunningham by far the best fitted in every way for Governor of Alabama. and another reason Is that all the Populist and Re- publican leaders in Shelby county are facie evidence that Cunningham is a thoroughbred Democrat, and of course the Populist and Republican leaders Shelby county Democrats should not forget this.

Young man, The Times has in the past advised you to buy Alabama dirt, and Is now convinced it was sound. moderate means will not be able to buy a farm of the size that Inow exists. Conditions are changing and the value of our soils is becoming more appre- ciated. So, young man, we again ad- wise you to buy land. enough for a home if no more. The investment is a safe one.

Birmingham. Ala. April ss. 1906.

Birmingham. Ala. Aprl ZS, lsUo- Hon; A. L Harrel, oakbowery, Ala.
 Yours of the 2sth inst. with stated clippings received and noted. I thank you very much for sending me this, as it Is simply statement of polit- ician without one word of fact and no one knows this better than Dr. Cum
 am advocating through the state that the people of Alabama will elect a Legislature, and with that Leglela- ture. pass the following laws:
 First, that the present rate of Ala bama shall be the maximum, that ss. that there can never be higher freight rate than TOW exists without getting law to that effect. You can see at once the importance of this, as the sition.
 Second, I advocate that the Legisla- ture will pass a rate on all the lead ture and consumption, comprising about 100, making the rate on those the same as Nthe Georgia rate. which rate the time ago for the protection. of the far mer, the manufacturer and consumer, and 1t embraces every single item that You haadle, either sell or buy Neither could the railroads enjoin this.
 Then I would make reasonable laws restraining the railroads as to the prompt payment of claims. equitable car service rules, and giving the ratl- road commission ali necessary power, end pass the classification 1ni adjust ment of the rates on all the balance of the items up to the commission. l would do this because if the Legisla- ture attempts to pass on all the clas- sificatiors of rates, they would go i'm to an endless bog and endless law suits, and no one knows that better than pr. Cunningham; and the whole mat ter would result in nothing done
 I charged Cunningham with his in- consistency on this at opelika, telling him that he knew it was impossible and dema gogic. which 1t Is.
 Cunningham has said all the while that he would not under any cireum- stances advocate the election of a Leg islature favorable to this great idea, moved a peg. while I have put h four months of very hard work. The truth of 1t is, that The Montgomery Adverti- ser. .wno. is gingering him up and backing him. does not mean for him to do anything, and the gang around him of the same calibre, also mean that nothing shall be done.
 You will notice that when railroad lawyer, or railroad environed man Is elected to the Senate, they say it Is a take that class of men and do any thing? My position has not changed ma the Georgia rate. and am suggest ing the method that my experience teaches me is the quickest way to get it. When Dr. Cunningham or anybody bit. they know it Is wrong.
 As stated atove,. what want the Legislature to do Is to accomplish as the balance to a commission which has been given new power and new force by the people and by the law.
 Thanking you for your letter, with
 Yours very truly.

Encourage oratory.

We note in a news item from the uni versity that there has been a consid- erable revival of interest in oratory among the students this year. This interest should be encouraged in every possible way. and it would be a good thing for it to spread to all our schools and colleges. Such training in early years gives to a hoy or girl an ad- Vantage all through life over those who have not received it.

SIDEWALK PENCILINGS
Work nn New yall.

T notice" said a Montgomerian last night. that work has at last begun on the foundation of the new portion Of the county jail. and l think that every person who possesses any civic pride, will be glad to know that work on the structure is at last in progress.
 The jail during the last few years, has been wholly inadequate to the number of prisoners we have had to handle in the county. It has been too small. and the quarters have not been so well arranged, from sanitary stand point. as they should be.
 Every county should have jail building adequate in every respect, and when a jail lacks in anything, the county should be prompt to make It good. The plans for the new jail. l understand, are thoroughly complete. and not only will accommodate more prisoners. but will be thoroughly equip ped In every way, I see that the foun- daticns are already more than half completed. and from the manner In which the work Is being rushed. It should not be long until Montgomery will have one of the best and most se- cure prisons in the state. It will be a cause of satisfaction when everything is wholly complete"

The recent shooting in a saloon in Birmingham which resulted in the death of two people, and wounding of sever al others, -...~ provoked an article from The Age Herald, which is published on this page of The Advertiser. This is not the first affair of the kind that has occurred in Birmingham and un- Hess a stop is put to the practice of carrying concealed weapons 1t is not the last.
 We know nothing of the merits of fhe particular case referred to, but The Age Herald is correct in placing a full share for miscarriage of jus tice in trials for murder and other serious crimes upon citizens who re- fuse to serve on jurles. We say re- fuse because 1t is tantemount to re- fusal, for In the vast majority of cases, those who got excused could serve if they were willing to do their full duty in maintaining law and order. This way of being excused is play ing into the hands of the jury fixer and who can deny that he often gets fin his work not only in Jefferson, but fin other counties of the State. There is law enough in Alabama to punish every wrong doer, but the trouble Is with those upon whom the law has at last to dep Id.

 My territory gives me the advantage of seeing the amusement places all over the South and although l have not seen any of the parks this Spring ex- cept this one in Montgomery, still do not believe in point of location, natural beauty and amusement enterprises, there Is an equal to the park anyWhere in this section of the country. There are undoubtedly amusement parks in some of the Southern cities that show a greater expenditure Of money but there is not one that is prettier:
 The new summer theatre that IS m course of erection will compare favor ably with any such playhouse in the country. It will be modern in every respect and the stage will be large enough to accommodate any of the large extravaganzas or musical shaws::
 The people of Montgomery should certainly take pride in Electric Iark. Nothing in Alabaiaa compares With IL. Birmingham and Mobile both have nice amusement parks but not on the elab- crate scale that is shown in MontGom- ery's latest park"

ALABAMA IS GROWING.

Alabama wants more people 10 cui- tivate the farms, to erect the houses. to dig the coal, to make the iron which great industries are all suffering from D dearth of laberers. The people themselves must help by offering in- ducements to intending settlers and by furnishing good houses for those whom they hire for wages. Our population instead of being scant 100000 ought to be at least 3,o00,ooO for there is no other State in the Union which offers such inducements to laborers, farmers and investors.
 The Louisville and Nashville Rail- Toad has been doing a good work along this line. During the years 1903-04-05, that road located settlers to the num- Der of 11.101 who purchased 271.4e9 acres of land. Of this 6,S54 or more than one half settled in Alabama and purchased 1884 acres of land. By the word settlers, we mean members of the agricultural class. from the Northern and Western States. who have settled on farming lands along the Louisville and Nashville Railroad in Alabama.
 During the same years STA indus fries were located at points along the Louisville and Nashville road, with capitalization of $4S,634,3O0. Alabama secured 314 of these industries. valued at $1s,7S2.100. These industries were absolutely new in every respect, using up raw material the natural products of Alabama, thus not only affording employment and a livelihood to the employees of those industries. but put ting vast sums of money into the hands of the growers and owners of timber. Farming, mineral and other lands. -
 Still it suits the views of MT. Conner and others like minded, to declaim against railroads as common enemies, unworthy of any consideration at the hands of the people the government.
