FRIDAY, JUNE 2s, 1907.

There seems to be some confusion fin the public mind as to the vote cast on the Alternate Senatorship and that for Governor. It is argued by some that because IFS coo votes were east for the candidates for Senator and about 95, 900 on the governorsklp that ! great many ttsspEand failed to vote for Governor. If one will stop to think a minute, he will remember that those who voted for Alternate Senators voted for two, while for Governor. he could only vote for one. The 175,OOO votes for Sena- torc were cast by one-half that num- Der of voters as each ballot had two names marked for Senator. There were but two candidates for Governor and only one could be voted for. It is evident that more votes were cast on the question of Governor than on that Of Alternate Senator.

State Taxes,


 Huntsville Mercury.
 The July session of the Legislature should by all means carefully consider Ine proposition to reduce the tax rate. The revenues of the State seen amnlv large to justify this, and under inc late laws 1t is certain the tax receipts Will be largely increased. It is said that several members of the Legisla- ture have prepared bills to reduce the rate. The rate is now sixty-flve cents It Is regarded that reduction to fifty live cents Is practicable and expedient Florence Times
 The Times IS presumably right The wonderful growth and development of the State the coming four years win greatly increase the revenues of the State and the tax rate should by all means be reduced at the July session for 1t will be four years before am other session of the Legislature, how ever great the need may become for this reduction in the meantime.
 Another matter the Legislature should give heed to is the demand for the repeal of modification of the tax on foreign money loaned in Alabama We have never seen or heard of a man favoring this tax except those residents of the State who had money to loan or were the agents of such. The disposition of these seems to be to keep money in as great demand as possible. What the peopleN need is an abundance of money at a low rate of interest

descendant of these men who nov graces the Senate chamber with his presence should view with alarm what ever might presa@e the passing of pie
 The empire of pie was established at Yorktown. The great Napoleon ceded new empire to it. Its conquests were pressed until its domain extended from ocean to ocean, and thence 1t urged it's conquering way to the islands of the sea. With its consort. dyspepsia, it came to rule over 100, 900, 900 happy freemen. And then came wealth, lux ury, decadence, vice, commercialism- and benzoate of sod. The cycle is all but complete. The pie of the fathers Is no more.
 This is all very nice in The Times writer, and we suspect that if he had extended his investigations he would Jamestown found means and material 1 to manufacture pies of some kind still, as The State goes on to observe the writer does not make a practical suggestion for combating the crusade He leaves out of consideration alto- kgether, the South. Of course. in this one particular, we are willing to con cede to New England a superior devo- tion to pie of the commercialized kind But we yield to no people the love of pie that mother makes. The pie trust has not threatened the South, nor mas benxoate of soda come into our midst in harmful quantities. Pie here is still a sure enough thing, both the kiyered and the unkivered, the open face and the ring -streaked and striped" We are perfectly willing that Dr. Wiley shall fight benzoate of soda We are perfectly willing for him to excom- municate all commercialized, financed and monopolized pie. The danger is that he will not step at this, and that he will frighten a great many timid souls into giving up this really na- tional institution.
 The only way to arrest this threat ened tyranny On the part of the great food dictator in Washington is for the sections to. stand together. The North | and the South have been divided They have fought against each other. They have differed in politics and hard feel 1 ings have been manifested in both ] sections. Perhaps, after all these years, they may be brought together by pie. Pie might be the great harmonixer. The Spanish American War is said to have brought the two sections together but this little war was of small import ance compared to the impending strug- gle"

A PHILADELpHIA COMPLIMENT.

The word 'stalwart" has come to have a much more extended meaning than was formerly given it. and. like many other words, it has gotten into politics. We speak of "stalwart Re publicans" and "stalwart Democrats" the object being to compliment them as men who are firm in their fealty and steadfastness to their party faith
 We have just noted one application of this word which we think will hard ly be taken as a compliment by those to whom it refers. Mayor Reyburn of Philadelphia declares that "stalwart Republicanism is the hope of this city" Now 1t must be borne in mind that Philadelphia has been under control of the Republicans for years. and that ,du- ring that time it has been one among the worst governed cities in the Union. It has been the home and abiding place of the looter, the grafter, the black mailer and all other forms of crime that could well exist in any city in a civilized land. Only two or three years ago there was a wave of reform and Mayor Weaver was looked on as the hope of honest men for the redemption of the city, but he fell down, as the saying is. and reform went out. At the last mayoralty election Reyburn was the candidate of the stalwarts and the reform element was buried out of sight; consequently we are bound to regard him as a stalwart, and to in terpret his words as meaning that the evil element that elected him is com posed of stalwarts, and that he looks on them as "the hope of the city, Do the honest Republicans accept the com pliment?

 The late Senator Morgan made so manly great speeches that 1t Is hard to single out any one as. eminent However, the speech made by him at Winchester, Va, in 1870, at the unveil- ing of the first monument to '"rhe Un- known and Unrecorded Dead" Is a model for all time.
