Resular ve.e !. safe Propo.ltlon.

Regular Vote is Safe Proposition. Editor Advertiser:
 The careful and entertaining accounts of your reporters on the Legislature proceedings have been read by me word for word, every day, as I believe they should be read by every patriotic citi- zen of the State, and I have made a discovery.
 There is member of the House, who is a real statesman, a statesman who remains loyal and true to the people. His vote shows it. I have never seen Mir. Cannon, of F'ayette I don't know whether he is thin or fat short or tall. round or angular. Maybe he has whis- kers and maybe he hasn't But that's not to the point. Every time a vote Is cast there Is Mir Cannon unlimbered and ready for action. He holds out against the so-called reformers who have the State government in their clutches. He has voted nay on every measures far as recorded by your paper Any man who holds out against this administration is a patriot and a states man.
 Let me predict that some of these days when the people of Alabama are expressing their opinion in strong terms on some of the ridiculous legislation that has been passed by this body Mir. Cannon will be able to say he had no hand in 1t.
 All honor to MT. Cannon, of Fayette. Every time he has unlimbered, he has fired ball that counted on the right side.
 Old Fashioned Democrat.

the two old parties. It went to pieces and it's members returned to their for- mer allegiance. It might be argued that 1t destroyed the whig party, but the aboiitionists and the Republicans who succeeded them destroyed the whig party.
 And such has been the fate of other attempts to maintain a third political organization The Farmers Alliance and the Populists are later examples. They, too, had some good features, and they, also, carried from the two old parties many good and strong men, but their existence was brief and the end complete.
 And so 1t will continue to be, in our Judgment. Tn every Presidential cleo ton there are from three to half a dozen tickets in the field, but the Democrats and Republicans get nearly all the votes. At the last presidential election there were four independent tickets In the field and all of them boiled less than eight per cent. of the total vote cast. That is the result of efforts to supercede the two great par ties and 1t Is about what may always be predicted. Men who take an inc terest in politics have little inclina- tion to waste their time and throw away their votes on side issues. They choose to be Republicans or Demo- crats when great issues are involved. Sometimes they go from one to the other but the great majority of voters stick to their own faith.
 It is better so; better for the voters and peter for the counry that there be two great parties to contend for he mastery. Each serves as a check on the other, and either fears to go too far lest the other supercede it. The danger to the country from one party retaining control of the govern ment too long is plainly apparent to all who keep up with public affairs now. One or two more terms of Re- publican domination will leave little of our old form of government unless change comes in some way. The duty of good and patriotic Americans is not to try to build up new party but to work for the good of the coun- try through patriotism and goodjudg- ment.

The Baltimore Sun says: Tn his in- most soul the President must feel at times that Harriman and he are Amer leans in the art of getting results While they move along different paths they are twin spirits in their desire to exercise cveriordship in the realms in which discriminating destiny has bidden them to be supreme. Even If Hartman now occupies the center of the stage, how can the President with hold his need of admiratlon7 How can he fall to appreciate the qualities of man who. only less than himself. personifies to the last degree the genius of absolutism? Mir. Roosevelt should feel envious. His place is se- cure. But Is it not possible that in Harriman's success in asserting over lordship in the railroad world the President may find suggestions that
 will be helpful to him in his further conquests in the political world?"
 We are surprised that so observant a newspaper as The Baltimore Sun overlooks so important parsonage as the third partner Tn the game or absoiutism and that partner furnished by one of the sovereign States of the Union. Of course it did not intend to overlook the ''peepui," better known as Governor Conner of Alabama. There is no absolutism so far as his territory extends, any greater than that of the present Governor of Alabama and if GA ho a. ready at hand in the conduct of the Legislature which has jumped just as he moved his head and hands.

But there seems no more reason for wor- rying about the imminence Of this un- pleasant finale now than there has heen at any other time during the last 10000 years.

HIT TWO rART1rs NEEDED

There is no middle ground" says The Muskogee imes-Democrat." We are either Democrats or Republicans from this day forward in the political affairs of the State, the county and the city," The I'D. was referring to Oklahoma affairs. but its remarks apply equally well to all sections of this great country. A man can keep out of politics entirely If he so choos- es, but if he is a politician he must be a Democrat or Republican. It sometimes happens in local contests that men disregard party lines alto- gether, but in all important cam paigns they must either line up with one of the great parties or be without political standing or influence.
 Various attempts have been made to organize and maintain a third party, but failure has always been the re- suit. The Native American or Know Nothing organization was among the most noted and powerful that the country has seen within the memory of those now on the stage of politics. It had some splendid leaders, hosts of good and patriotic citizens and some good features. but It's general doc trines and policies were not in ac- cordance with the spirit of genuine American citizenship. The good that was in 1t, the good men who made up it's rank and file and tho strong men who endeavored to make of it a per- manent and dominating political or ganization-sll were not able to in fuse Into 1t the vitality to break down

For Time They Did Not Serve In Com
 gresS In a Stew.
 Several members of the House who were elected to fill vacancies created by death, were caused considerable an- xiety when they learned of the decis- ion of the House Judiciary Committee mittee holds that members eleted to fill such vacancies are not entitled to re- ceive back pay.
 The fear was expressed that many members might be called on by their constituents to return to the Treasury the hundreds, and in some cases. the thousands of dollars. which they re- ceived for time during which they did not serve. Among those affected, 1t Is said, are Representatives Littlefield, of Maine; Boutell, of Illinois, and Foster of Indiana. In the office of the Ser geant-at Arms it was stated that the number of members affected by the rul- ing of Representative Jenkins com mittee is large
 The clerks in the office declare they are free from blame in paying back salaries. because the Speakers word is final in regard to certificates of members. They claim also that they have been acting under the statute of 1862, which provides that whenever a vacancy ocurs after the commencement of a Congress the person elected to i'll 1t shall be compensated from the time the pay of his predecessor ceased.
 But a member of the Judiciary Con- mittee pointed out yesterday that this law does not hold. He cited a case ot a member being elected to a new con gress and dying a day or two before the expiration of the old Congress. He had never served in the new Congress and had not entered upon his term by even drawing his salary The success sor was elected and qualified several months later.
 He was not entitled to pay for the months Intervening, the Judiciary Com mittee member says. and the law of 1862 does not apply. because the mem- Der originally elected did not die after the beginning of fls term. This com mittee member asserts the Speaker S word is final only where the payment is authorized by law.
 The question of who would be held liable for the payment of this money was discussed by members of the com mittee. Some criticized the Comp of the Treasury for allowing the vouch- CTS without making a report on the law as it stands.

Fish Knows Better.
Exchange

A Washington man on a recent visit to benighted section of a Southwest ern State was riding along the bank of the river that waters that section, and. although he had gone some twenty miles or so, he had not in all that dist ance noticed a single fisherman. Meet- ing a man lounging near the stream. he asked: "Why doe1n't some one fish in this river" "Ain't no fish, was the laconic reply of the native. No fish in such a beautiful river as this?" ex- claimed the astonished Washihgtonian. why not? The native laZily shifted his position and answered: stranger. eff you could get outer this country as easy as fish can, do you reckon you'd be here?"

The Conatitution Bars the Mar.


 Washington Post.
 If 1t were in the power of the chief executive to abolish States rights when he believed them to mean the people, s would be of the greatest significance. The child labor bill of Senator BeVer- idge, which the best lawyers in both houses of Congress believe to be un- constitutional, would probably have been enacted. The effort of the South ern States to attract immigration through State organization would have been made impossible by a stringent amendment of the immigration act. And more important than either, the right of a State to control It's schools would have been denied and abolished in order to enlarge the scope of the treaty making power and remove an embarrassing question raised by for eign government.
 As reflecting the most advanced views of those who urge Increase of national power at an expense of the States, the Presidents statements are of interest; But IS an indication of the probable transfer of such power they have no weight, since the mere dictum of any man, even a President is not sufficient to disturb the distri- button of powers made by the Constl- tuition. The right of a State to regu- times in such manner as to expose the nations weakness" and "impo- tence' in the opinion of the advocates of centrallzation. But the regulation of schools by State is a right that will hardly be questioned by the SUI preme authority which construes the Constitution.
 There are many things, in other words. that are desirable for the sake of temporary advantage or from the standpoint of the ideal which cannot be done so long as the Constitution stands.

His father other held q good place in the civil service. and all were opposed to the suggestion, but he persisted.

The question may be well asked. if it Is proper to tax any and everything in the shape of corporations, franchis- es, intangible assets. etc, why the millions of dollars invested in cotton mills in Alabama should not bear their share of the burdens of government2 Certainly cotton mill owners are as far from being objects of State charity as any people who live. Why then dis criminate in their favor, when every thing else including coffins and graves is being brought to the tax rack.

 The beautiful weather we have been enjoying here causes us to sympa- thize with our countrynen in Arctic New England. A dispatch from Ches- ter, vt., dated February 2s, says: 'No morning in the last two weeks has the mercury registered above zero. but has dropped as low as twenty-eight de- grees." We are not surprised to see it added that all the water pipes are frozen. Then there is another report from a town in Maine stating that already seven feet of snow has fallen and the winter not nearly over up there. How do people live in such temperature? is a query with many of us down here. They do, however, and some of them do well.
