Fool Lexi.lation.

MaCOn TeIeBraph.
 We confidently expect to see an at tempt made at the next session or Congress to take the whole of the railroad question out of the hands of the States. and fool legislation by some of the states will be responsible for it.
 Of course the Southern Railroad should be made to obey the laws Of Alabama, and the laws of all other States through which it's lines run, but 1t yet has the right to test the constitutionality of any law that af- fects its interests or operation.
 The attempt of the Alabama Legisla- ture to close the door of appeal to the United States authority, in cases ot corporations doing an interstate bus mess by outiawing them for so doing, 1t the most dangerous step taken by any state since secession.

The Portland oresonian proposes

The Portiand CTeSonlan proposes this method of choosing Presidents:
 Since the Legislature is to elect to the Senate the man who may get the plurality of the popular vote, even though he may be Democrat and the Legislature Republican, or vice versa, why shouldn't the electoral colleges oi the several States cast their votes TOT and elect to the Presidency the man who may get a plurality of the votes of the people of the United states whether the candidate may be mem Der of one party or another? Often the candidate for the Presidency mas been elected, when the popular vote was for another candidate.
 That would be carrying out the ex- pressed will of the people. but we doubt if The Oregonian believes that such a plan is possible in this day of partisan politics.

The latest Alabama paper to reach our table is The Brundidge Record. It Is a splendid first number and gives assurance of becoming one of the very best papers in the State. Its editorial and general matter is of a high order, while its advertising columns unmis- takably show that Brundidge business men will give it fine patronage. Its editor and publisher is MT. H. A. Norton who has been all his life in the newspaper business. For the past five years he has conducted The De- mopoIis Times and during that time acceptably served The Advertiser as its correspondent in that city. We hope The Record will meet with great success.

Is Bryan All Powerful in the southG


 Is Bryan All Powerful in the SOuthR New York Evening Post.
 No one can talk with representative Southern men, or read southern news papers. without discovering new at titude toward Bryan: if not hostile. at least no longer friendly. It is not often that one comes upon so blunt an expression of it as in the Mobile Reg ister which says that the Democrats will have to dump MT. Bryan. Ere Quently. however. one finds tone or marked coldness. with the unconcealed hope that some way may be devised The Houston Post remarks that to nominate man of MT. Bryan,s views, would sacrifice the independ- ent vote D ana it adds that. without is not what MT. Bryan would call en- thusiastic support. Nor would he be elated by such a chilling utterance as that of the Savannah Morning News, which unfeelinglv declares: Here Tn the South there Is very large number of prominent Democrats who do moi think MT. Bryan would stand much chance of being elected"
 The Charleston News and Courier
 Tt is not with the feelings of MT. Bryan, towa"d the, South, which are | Is concerned but with the sure results that his policy would bring about. His declarations in favor of Govern ment ownership as an ultimate soIG. | tion of the transportation question IS loaded with ultimate and certain per l il to the wnlte race In the south. It should therefore remove MT. Bryan from further consideration as a pos sible candidate for President in the minds of those Southern Democrats to whom white supremacy is a matter or | some importance.
 On that point, The Wilmington 'N' | e. Messenger says with much direct l ness
 We do not think the South will stand ! for the later political principles Bry- | an has announced. The fact that ne 1 has modified his Madison Square Gar den declaration in favor of GoVernmen nt | ownership of railroads by saying that | 1t is not to be made an immediate issue shows that he has found pub | lie sentiment in his party against nm | at present on that proposition. The ! people. however, know his views on that question and they will not be Tool. ed into supporting him on this recent modification thereof by his declaration in favor of postponinS the time for putting the principle fnto effect. Wv do not believe a majority of the Dem ocrats of the South want Bryan Lnl | President and We are sure that If nom mated he will lose some of the States which Parker carried"
 All this is far from proving thal the ferment against Bryan, now cyl. dent in the South. will be fatal to hi candidacy. There is. as yet, no organ ized movement against him, It Is doubtless true, as The Nashville Am erican asserts. that the South couI' make it's opinion effective in the Ma tional Convention, provided it wer' backed up with a soltd delASepNND

The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-08-12

Roanoke is growing more rapidly than ever before in its history. The coming of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad has given an impetus to the growth Of eur town that goes beyond the expectation of the most optimistic. At this time there Is in course of erection at least S250. O00 worth of brick buildings in Roanoke and many more are to fol- low We have no vacant houses, but the demand for house room is simply immense We are going to have real first rate city over there, for we have the natural resources--salubriou climate. excellent soil and mineral wealth galore"
 Luckily for the splendid country through which the new railroad will pass all it's plans were arranged and financial matters fixed up before the recent session of the Alabama Legis lature. If this had not been the case, we do not believe Roanoke and adja- cent country would be able to enjoy the great transportation facilities which the building of the A. B. & A. Railroad will furnish them.
