In another place we print . letter calling on the business men of Alabama to speak out on the subject of an ex- traordinary session of the Legislature. Do they want 1t and if so why? Our correspondent rightly insists that at this juncture in public affairs the question of an extra session is pri- marily one of business. Montgomery is always pleased to see the Legisia- ture in session. It brings many agreeable gentlemen here and 1t brings some money. too to be expended here. But Montgomery, like the rest of the State. will make up it's mind on the proposed session on consideration of the wisdom in such a call. Will 1t help business generally or will 1t hin- der and disturb business7 Certainly if any people would likely crave an op- portunity to pursue their calilngs. their vacations and avocations, in uninter- rupted peace and quiet, 1t would seem these people would be found right here in Alabama. They must have by now a huge supply of worry and excite ment produced by State and Congress sional legislation.

Prosperity in Potatoes.

Kansas City Star
 Potatoes s1 a hushel and yielding from hundred and fifty to two hun drad bushels to the acre. with railroad switches running right through the fields Such Is the story of the pros perity of the potato grower of Indian Territory this season.
 Of course, every potato grower did not raise two hundred bushels to the acre. and somo of their potatoes do not grade up to the dollar class But Will Garrett marketed two hundred bushels from an acre on his farm and got $l a bushei for them. and there are num- berless instances where whole fields are averaging from hundred and twenty five to a hundred and fifty bush els an acre.
 The potatoes were planted very early this season-most of them in February, and the weather conditions at that time were remarkably good Later in the season, however, the weather conditions appeared as bad as it was possible for them to get It was very cold. there was lots of rain, and ap- parently the potatoes, like all other crops, were doing no good. It has since developed that, while the pota- toes were not making vines, they were making good root and spreading out in the ground. The big surprise came when the digging began and the yield was so enormous.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Fl, 1907

As an evidence of the importance of all men entitled to be voters quail 9ying themselves as to registration and poll tax we instance the fact that two elections are to be held soon in Lowndes county. The Hayneville Ex- aminer says:
 The people of Lowndse county will have two elections this fall, the first one will be held on October 10 for the purpose of determining whether whiskey shall be sold in Lowndes county, the second will be held on the 11th day of November for the purpose of eIecting a supervisor of public roads in Lowndes county, under the law passed at the last session of the Leg isiature.
 No one can vote at these elections who is not qualified under the State law, yet there are no doubt several hundred intelligent men in that county who will have to stand aside from failure to qualify themselves for citi- aenship. Both elections are on i'm poFtant matters and which are likely to interest the average citizen. Sim liar important elections will be held @ many counties in Alabama inside of next twelve months.

A CABINET SPLIT.

Campaign Fund Scandal at Bottom Ot
 the split.
 Washington Special to Baltimore Sun.
 Reports reach Washington 10 tne CT. fect that two members Of the cabinet are distinctly recalcitrant as to the support of Secretary Tafts candidacy for the Republican nomination; ana that nothing but immediate consloera- ture between the President and those members of his official family.
 Air Taft. as the administration can dIdate, Is expected to receive the sup mort of all administration forces. and he has this support with more or less ssrnestness except from Secretary Root and Secretary Cortelyou. Minor officials so situated as to be able to exercise political influence, as well as members of the cabinet and the Presl- dent nifnselt. are exorting themselves in MT. Taft's behalf, but 1t is declared that neither Root nor Cortelyou Will S1ve any aid or sanction to this cam paign and that both. speaking private iv Indicate a feeling Of considerable resentment toward President Roose- welt. ,, net, and Cortelyou were both involved in the question of raising the cam paign fund for the election of MT. Roosevelt. disclosures concerning which have since led to considerable scandal. Mir Root, not being in the cabinet at the time and being associated with big Corporations In New York, was in a position to be of great assistance in raislng the funds, and on account or his having formerly been in the cabt- net and being known as close per sonal friend and adviser of the Presi- dent it was felt that he could speak with authority for the administration and that the administration would stand for whatever he might do in the interest of MT. Roosevelt's candidacy. It had been the desire of MT. Rooses welt tbat Root should be Chairman or the National Committee, but Root did not feel physically able to undertake this task and Cortelyou was the mu, tual selection of the President ana Root for the position. Root undertake ing to advise and assist Cortelyou in the campaign.
 Under these circumstances It Is said that both Root and Cortelyou feel con siderable resentment toward Roosevelt his willingness to step from under" and permit them to take the brunt of the criticism for the scandal involved.

Christian Science Rules To Obviate

 As result of recent prosecutions against members of the Christian Science Church in eases where mem bers have died without regular physi- clans having been called. the board Boston, inspired directly by Mrs. Ed dy, have issued new bylaw.
 The bylaw is manadtory in char acter. and is to be binding on all ad- berenta of the Christian Science Church throughout the world.
 It is announced in the following iA Article 9, section s.--sudden dis ease: If a member of the mother church shall decease suddenly with out previous injury or illness, and the cause therefore be unknown, an autopsy shall be made by qualified ex- Inquiry yesterday at the propagan- da of the Christian Science cult In this city brought out that the new bylaws shall be read by the faithful

The Sober second Thounlt.

CulIman Democrat
 The present indications are that the tide is turning; the sober second thought Is beginning to assert itself.
 The people are beginning to realize that we have with us. good as well as bad corporations To put all of the corporations out of business. as some of the Comerites nave been attempt ing to do. Is to stop the growth of the country. to bring financial and in- dustrial panic and a chaos in the af- fairs of the people. While everything is high the ordinary man can spend just as little as he wishes and if ha produces anything he can get the cost for It. Is 1t right that the railroads should be the only people prohibited by criminal statutes from increasing prices? The cost of production con- trols prices in every other line why should not the cost of transportation control the cost of passenger and freight rates7 Is 1t just to allow the cost of cotton cloth to control the price of that commodity and say that the other corporations shall be domi- mated by a bunch of office crazed poli- ticians. who would just as soon say that passengers should be carried free, and who, undoubtedly, would say so, if it would increase the likelihood of their getting an office.
