Are We Going to Have . One-Man
 Government

Huntsville Mercury.
 "When Senate bill No z, prohibitin g the issuing or receiving of passes, was placed on it's third reading in the Sen. ate, Senator Lusk moved that the bill be recommitted. It is generally pre- stunned that the bill will be reconsid- cred in order that the amendment al lowing newspapers to exchange ad- vertising for transportation be stricken out This feature of the bill, making exceptions of newspapers, is said 10 pc objectionable to Governor Comer."--
 This is, we believe, the third time that bills not altogether pleasing to the Governor have been altered to please his fancy, and the Legislature nas committee to whom the bill was re- ferred are fair-minded representatives of a constituency which elected them to frame laws a part of the same peo- pie who elected Governor. Conner. If they believe 1t is right and lawful for a newspaper to sell it's advertising space to railroad and take transpor- tation over the road In payment, they should stand by their report regardless of Governor Corners wishes. II tnis kind of a-thing is to continue during the session, the legislators had just as we'll take a recess and let the Governor frame what measures he desires adopt- ed and pass them in an adjourned ses- sion. The Mercury believes 1t would be better for the newspapers to adopt the cash system with the railroads. yet we believe a newspaper has an fnhe- rent right to butt accounts with the merchant the taller, the butcher or the railroad that cannot be taken of the opinion that the representatives of the people will take this view of if also when they tire of the Governors policy of dictation.

RED MEN IN CONGRESS.

The election of Hon. Charles Curtis to the United States Senate from Kan sas illustrates in a graphic manner the changes that have taken place among the Indians of this country. No doubt there are yet many people who judge of all Indians by what they learned about them in the school-books and novels of long ago. and have failed to understand that these people have not stood still while the world has advanced around them. It is true that there are yet tribes of them who are practically occupying the position that has always been theirs. They have in many ways prohted by con- tact with the white races, but in edu- cation and civilization they are but lit- tie further advanced than their fore fathers were century ago.
 But this condition is so far from being universal that it is doing in- justice to the Indians to speak of them as a people as we can truthfully speak of a portion of them. In several pla- ces in the United States there are schools and colleges which are largely attended by Indians and some of the brightest graduates of these institu- tions are of the red people. Some of these educated Indians have held im- portant official positions and more of them are continually coming into the civil life of the nation. Especially among what Is known as the Five Civ Ilized tribes are there to be found men and women of the highest.type of civ ilization. enlightenment and refine nent. They are not only a credit to their own race but to American citi- zenship.
 .5 One of the men most talked of for Representative in Congress from the new State of Oklahoma is a Cherokee or probably half blood. and 1t is not unlikely that he will be chosen. With him in the House and Curtis in the fairness and justice to a race that has many just causes of complaint against the white man. The new State will have in it a large proportion of h. dians among it's population and they should have their share of the honors and officers. Curtis is the son of Kaw mother and Owen. the prospec- tive candidate for Congress. is whole or part Cherokee. Surely the In- dians are a-coming.

TusIxegee Funds.
GsTN~N FsN v A' SAAN VII Birmingham Ledger.


 Of course if the State of Alabama ap- proprlates any money to the Bloke- Washington school. 1t has a right to know how the money Is used.
 There should be no war made on the school. If the Legislature wishes to refuse the appropriation it can do so. The States appropriation Is too small to be considered In connection W fh the millions of money owned by the school The State does not supo-t the school, nor materially help 1t. Exco pt for the principle involved no doub' President Washington would not care if the State declined to give his school
 It would be sad incident to make that school appropriation the foun la ton for a lot of folly in the Legislature in the shape of speeches aga nst the education of the negro. The Ledger does not care rap what people of other States and other sections think. A decent regard for public opinion Is a wholesome and proper thing-to shape our policy to please. people in other sections of the Union Is shame
 Let the Legislature do what it is go ing to do and he done with 1t. but SD gre us a lot of huh dub that will make the state ridiculous

Richmond Times Dispatch.

Richmond Times Dispatch.
 MT. Edgar Gardner Murphy, of Mont gomery, who has been known as the father and founder" of the National from that organization because of It's endorsement of the Federal child labor bill recently introduced at Washington by Senator Beveridge of Indiana. This bill. as our readers know, is designed to regulate child labor in all the States through the operation of the inter- state commerce law. MT. Murphy Is in favor of regulating child labor and has done perhaps as much as any man audacious attempt to override the rights of the States by an ingenious ap- plication of Q Federal law which it's framers never dreamed of "tf a Fed eral authority under the interstate som- merGe clause of the constitution, can go back of the article offered for com- merce, in order to reach one set of con- ditions,' says MT. Murphy why may 1t not use these same means to reach other conditions?"
 If this principle be recognized, there Is hardly any subject which the Fed eral government could not control through the interstate commerce law, and we are glad that MT. Murphy, a representative Southern man, has had the courage and the conscience to ex- press his disapproval by withdrawing from the committee. The Federalists are running mad, and If they have their way, they will destroy the principle of local government, individual re- sponsibility, mainly self-reliance and every other Fundamental of Democra- cy Democracy Is a dynamic force. Ii regulates from within, and not from without.

THE MAN AND Tnr sroMAcn.

Governor wocdrun of Connecticut recently delivered an address to the editors of that state in the course of which he referred to a wish expressed by The Hartford Times that his diges- tive powers would remain good during his term of ofics, and said: After all, man is no stronger than his stom- ach. and I promise you I will take good care of mine during the next two years"
 That Is rather q new thought, but perhaps there's something in 1t. It is a well understood fact that a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and possibly disordered or unrelia- ble stomach is the weak link In the chain of our physical existence. A stomach, as The Times says, that at- tends strictly to business and behaves itself is an important part of man. persons attitude toward the world, toward life, toward humanity, is partly determined by the condition of his stomach. Many and grievous are
 
 son subjects his stomach. The won- der is not that so many hut that so few stomachs, smarting under provo cation, do not organize insurrectionary movements. The docility of the stom- ach under harsh treatment is amazing, but when the worm, being long trod- den on, does turn, there's something doing in the matter of paying penal ties and squaring accounts. We won- der that the Society for the Prevention file a certificate of incorporation. Even If there were water in the stock of the organization 1t would do no harm"
 When we come to think over the matter carefully we are bound to ad- init that the human stomach is one of the most wonderful things connec- ted with our existence. Almost as soon as the child quits nursing it be- gins what is to be life long impo- sition on the digestive organs and an apparently endless and determined ef- fort to learn just how much the stom- ach can bear. The average men and women take no thought of what that organ can bear, or what it should be subjected to, but only think of put ting into it whatever may suit their desires or inclinations. Their main object appears to be to eat what they want and as much of 1t IS they want, if they can get it, without thought of what the consequences may be.
 Is 1t any wonder that under such thoughtless and reckless treatment many stomachs rebel and go out of business? There is a limit to most things and 1t is not matter of sur prise that there should be a limit to that is so delicate and yet one that Is imposed on from childhood to old age? The real wonder is that most of them do not go out of business and refuse longer to be imposed on and maitreat- ed as is done by the average human being. And when that organ refuses to be longer treated as if it were a machine we need net to be astonlshed at its refusal. And we may add that when the stomach refuses to act as nature intended 1t to do the mental, moral and physical portion of our be- ing is apt to feel the effects and to show it very plainly. "A man is no stronger than his stomach"

The City Council of New Orleans has before it an ordinance which, if pass ed and put into effect. will work hardship in one direction. The ordi- nance gives to the City Board of Health the right to confscate and de- stroy all impure, adulterated, decay ing or decomposed foodstuffs or li- quids without compensation to the owner. It is all right and proper to enact and enforce stringent Ia ws and regulations in the interest of the public health, but is it right to de- stroy the merchandise of q dealer who bought it in good faith and is not aware that It Is impure? It looks like carrying good intentions beyond the limit of justice and fairness, as we look at 1t.
