John R. Mclean.

John Roll Mclean. publisher of newsPapers in Cincinnati and Wash ington, was born in the tirst named city. september 17. 1S4s His father was Washington Mclean, proprietor of The Cincinnati Enquirer and for many years prominent in Democratic politics. John k. Mclean was educated in the public schools of Cincinnati and after ward went to Harvard After graduat- ing from college he spent several years in Germany as a student and then went hack to Cincinnati to go to work on hIs fathers newspaper. He started at the bottom of the ladder, and only after a thorough practical training was he al- lowed to become a proprietor. Under his management his newspaper proper ties made for him vast fortune. MT. HcLean was talked of both for first and second places on the Democratic na- tional ticket at various times, and hts name was before the convention of 1896 that finally nominated Bryan. He ran for Governor of Ohio on the Democratic ticket in 1899. but was defeated by George K. Nash. For a number of years he was a member of the Democratic National Committee.

POLL TAX.

In Louisiana, as in Alabama. there is requirement that poll tax shall 1e paid as prerequisite of voting. Tn the city of New Orleans there is a poll tax association and its efforts are directed toward getting those subject to 1t to pay the tax. Here in Alabama in the heated primary of last year, less than 100000 votes were boiled although there are over 25o,0oO white men who can qualify as voters. Indeed. over 100000 of them have registered. Of that number many thousands have failed to pay poll tax. Over 100000 men in the State are above the poll tax age limit of AS years. As the poll tax collected reaches about $1o0,O00. 1t is evident that only 10000 of the 15o ,00o, subject to the tax paid up. The collectors will soon be on their rounds and every one ought to take pride in contributing this much to the school fund in addition to qualifying as a voter. Many elections will be had next year and those who fan to pay all poll tax due before the first of February next, will have to stand aside and let others dride who shall i'll the State and local positions.

INCREASE IN AMOUNT or TAKES
 PAID

In another place in today's paper 1t is shown in exact figures that the peo- pie of Montgomery County win have to pay considerably more taxes for the year 1906-e7, than for the year 1so5-0e. This Is the amount paid to State and County In addition property owners in the city will have to pay great iri- crease besides what they pay for State and County. In other words, besides their proportion of the s1oo,0o increase for State and County there will have to
 be paid about sSo.ooo increase by own CTS of city property. This will make
 citizens of Montgomery city and ycoun- ty, pay s1S0.oo0 In taxes more than for the preceding year. s
 It was one of the prime arguments of Governor Conner that he was going to save tho people of Alabama a vast sum of money amounting to millions of dol- lars each year. He made 1t as plain as a pike stan. yet here are the actual figures of great increase in taxes and not one cent saved to the tax payers.
 What has happened to Montgomery tax payers will be the experience in all other counties. possibly not to so great an extent as in this and Jefferson and Mobile counties. When all the facts and figures are given to the pub lie, they will, perhaps. be astounded to learn that the expenses of the State have been increased s1,250,00o since Governor Conner entered upon the du- ties of his office No wonder. there- fore. that the taxing powers have been used to the utmost extent.

Letters to The Editor
The Jamestown Exposition.

Va, Sept, IA, 1907. To the Editor "The Advertiser.
 The Jamestown Exposition is a great and notable undertaking, deserving the i'm our early history and the develop mehts of our country
 The exhibits are extensive and most interesting. Is is a lesson in American grit and progress to see the physlcaI and material exhibits; 1t is a matter of proper pride to realize that these wonders have their origin in American patriotism. the cause of growth in American energy and manhood.
 The Exposition is more than snow worth seeing; 1t is a school in which our young men and young women may study with profit and deep interest the evolution of American institutions.
 It will in every sense pay our people. North and South, to visit the James, town Exposition. The great Govern ment Pier, just completed, Is wonder full In architectural conception and execution. The officials have labored unceasingly to make the Exposition to President Tucker, Director-General Barr, we'll known to our people, tMr. T. s. Southgate, Governor or exhibits, and General Fitzhugh Lee, now dead. The exposition is thoroughly creditable in every way; 1t is an honor to our country
 So far as the work of the Jury of Awards is concerned, and on the ser vice of this jury the subsequent history of the Exposition will largely depend, ample praise Is due Doctor Albert Shaw, president, Doctor Ambrose Swasey. Vice-presIdent and Mir. James l.. Farmer, the efficient Secretary.

TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER r, 1907.

The ways of the politician are hard. The spectre of great popularity loomed up before some from threatening to defy the laws of the United States, and arrest railroad employees. In that way they would whip the devil around the stump" and bring the concerns. which insisted they had the right to go into the courts, into line. They didn't think of the railroad employees and their friends. All these now have out their scalping knives for the men who were to be so popular by arresting them, as criminals. It will be q long time be- fore some of them will hear the last of the heroics on this line. Some might be martyrs" by punishment for running over the courts, and a few might be willing to undergo that to get votes-but the prospect is not al- turing when the voters get mad. and so to the polls for the other fellow.

In a letter to The World. replying to questions from that paper relating to the eligibility of Roosevelt for a third term. William E. Chandler of New Hampshire opposes long terms as dangerous, deprecates the Presi- dents personal faults, but insists upon a continuance of Roosevelt's policy. In this connection he says: "we have under way such a revolution against political corruptionists, grasping, cruel. and brutal multi -millionaires, vast cor poration monopoiies, and monstrous railroad plunderers and criminals as I have earnestly hoped for but dared not expect in my life time. Revolu- tions seldom 20 backward; at all events this one will not. Either un- der the Republican candidate or Mir. Bryan it will be carried to triumphant completion" MT. Chandler, while all ways supporting Republican candidates has been more or less out of line with his party in New Hampshire. His ref erence to Mir. Bryan. in the above, is somewhat significant.

We had slight evidence of execu- tive interference when Governor Co., mer declined to act under the terms of the immigration law passed at the Jan uary term of the Legislature. In In- diana, however, there Is a case which went beyond his actions. Governor Hanley has nullihed law of the last Legislature by positively refusing to sign bonds for Vincennes University. provided for in an act of the last ses- sion. When the act was passed to re- imburse the University for lands taken from 1t by the State. the Governor ve- toed the bill The Legislature passed it over his veto and the bonds were printed and were presented to him for his signature. He refused to sign them, giving as a reason that the ap- propriation was Illegal

The EarIes and the Amnity.

 There is really very little of the un- usual about what has happened in the case of the Earles. Look up a thousand divorce cases and get the true facts behind them, and you will find many similar 10 that of the artist who found his affinity" and then dispensed with his wife and family. This incident varies only in detail from one conspic- uous case, typical of many, with which the newspapers were filled not long ago. Yet William E. Corey and MAbelle Gilman were not mObbed when thev went off on their wedding tour.
 The thing that marks the Earle in- cident with peculiar Individuality among so many family separations was the taking of the world into the conn- dence of the parties to the affair. This Is what really inspires the i'll will for the artist, who thus unnecessarily ad- vertised al situation which at best would have been painful to the dis carded wife. On regarding the photo graph of the male concerned In this in tense little drama, and on reading a general impression of his character we must confess that we feel more like congratulattng the wife on her deliv- erance than condoling with her.

vice-President Fairbanks is hard at work trying to exploit his Presidential chances. He goes from one extreme of the country to the other in rapid order. He was recently on the Pacific coast and seems to have made some friends by the unexpected cordiality of his manner. But the following conclusion of an editorial of The San Francisco Call would indicate that he has not cre- ated a boom; MT. Fairbanks. if he should get the nomination for Presi- dent. might poll his strict party vote. That is not enough. On the other hand he makes an agreeable and satisfying Vice President. Why not hold on to his job? In the grateful and comfort ing words of Governor Chamberlain of Oregon Mir Fairbanks holds the sec ond highest office not only in the Uni ted States. but in the whole world Let 1t go at that"

The point sought to be made in favor of Lieutenant Governor Chanler. that he was elected in New York last year diminishes in force when 1t is recalled that Judge Parker in an off year car ried New York State by an overwhelm- ing majority. When he was a candi- date for President he lost the State by still larger majority. We believe that a man outside of New York will be just as acceptable to the great bulk of Democrats there. as one who claims to be a resident of the state

The Hartford Times says: We may safely venture the opinion that the Hon.
