Jack Gable Should, Never Be Set Free.
 Montgomery, Alas Aug. 1S' lsof. Editor The Advertiser:
 In an article in your todays paper headed, Jack Gable Wants Pardon, an erroneous recital of the case throws a different light on the scene, in wnicn MT Grant lost his life. from the facts eiicited in the trial Jack Gable was the negro who was appointed at that time by the gang of assassinss' r. Siae S5ae to detafn MT. Grant at the store. un- der the pretense of making some prr- chases, until the hired murderers, wno were to come from this city, would ar rive. The Montgomery assassins faiAS. ed to come. and Jim Callaway, at the muxzle of the gun, held by one of the Woodley boys, killed Mr. Grant. Jac'e Gable, according to the testimony In the case, was a leading spirit in that as. sassination, but in the deliberations or the jury and in order to bring a two days and two nights consideration to an end, they (the jury) agreed to hang the others and give Jack Gable 2 nae sentence He was a dangerous negro.

The President lets it leak out through his Attorney General that when he gets back to Washington he may have something to say about the Hartman matter. Of this The Rich mond Times Dispatch says:
 MT. Bonaparte is good advertising agent. When his chief Is not actually DaIte keens the popular ear tickled by telling the newspapers what he Is go ing to do The show is not 10 pc pulled off until the President has had lis vacation. but the advance notices are very attractive.
 The administration Is a wonderful promiser It is always telling what if is going to do, but in a great many instances changes its mind before the performance begins.

Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor William, was horn on Au- gust 14, 1862. in Potsdam. He was at once destined for sthe naval career, 10 follow in the footsteps Vr his uncle
 the first German Admiral. Prince Ad- albert, to whom the organization and spirit of the German navy are in large measure due. Prince Henry's love or the sea and his adventurous spirit were gratified, when youth, by several long cruises around the world

onEYING THE LAW.

Governor Conner is a great stickler for obedience to the law He unct- iousiy proclaims it on all occasions, and yet he himself appears to be a violator of or consenting to violation of one of the laws which he is usinS all his power to have enforced, when 1t suits him to do so.
 The law under which Secretary of State Julian acted, when he revoked the license of the Southern Railway Com pany is better known as Senate Bill S6. In passing. it may not be amiss to say that a bill levying tax is in the nature of a revenue law, and under the State Constitution all revenue measures should originate in the House. If this be so. then Senate Blu S6. which provides tax and imposes penalties should have originated in the other House and would appear to be a void law Be that as it may. however. the law distinctly declares that after license is revoked 1t can be restored only upon payment of penalty of one-tenth of 1 per cent on the capital stock of the company in- fer upon the Governor or any other State officials, the powers of autocrats and allow them the right to enforce or suspend the law at their will and pleasure. But what has been done in the case of restoration of license to the Southern Railway Company? Li- cense has been restored to that com pany without the payment of a penny of the fine. which the law says must be paid before 1t can be restored. How is that for violating a law of the state.
 There is a way provided for making settlements of claims of the State against officer S and persons. The Board of Compromise. when the party seeking relief presents a petition can consider the matters involved and on their judgment claims and fines may be reduced or remitted. Possibly this case could have been considered by that Board. but there has been no such procedure. The penalty clause of Sen ate Bill s6 has been set aside. and the State deprived of several thousand dollars. if Senate Bill S6. legally speaking. is worth the paper on which 1t is written. There Is an old legal maxim, eff you want equity you must do equity" and the people of this State can say to public officials. "If you want the laws of the State obeyed you should set the example, and not be law breakers yourselves"

If the commissioned officers of the regular army should be judged by one example the world at large would form an exceedingly low opinion of our mil itary. Recently a private in the 18th Cavalry deserted and Lieutenant Trumbo wrote the following letter to the mans mother:
 Dear Madam: It gives me great pleasure to inform you that your son, Earl Sims, who Is about the most worthless scoundrel ever saw, IS a deserter from the United States army. I sincerely hope to see him behind the bars for at least two years. Hoping this will be a source of coincidence to you, I am, etc.
 It is some satisfaction to know that the brutal officer was court-martialed, but it is not much satisfaction to learn that the only punishment award ed him is that he shall be reprimanded and restricted for two months to the territorial limits of whatever military station he may be serving at. Gen. eral Grant has expressed the opinion that the court martial was, much too lenient, and we agree with him. Buck ing and gagging every day for the two months would about fit that fel- low.

"ReguIation" of Corporatlous,


 New York Times.
 Governor Campbell of Texas is as well entitled to be the Abou Ben Ad- hem of trust busters as Governor Glenn gle person except one. Governor Campbells title rests in part on the fact that although he had better op- portunitv than Governor Hughes. he did not veto antitrust bills passed by the Texas Legislature by hundreds. and the further fact that on the stump he out-Bryans Bryan. Addressing 10, coo persons at the copventipn of the Texas Farmers Union, he said
 Bear in mind my prediction, and you will see that over one-half of the burdens of the taxpayers of Texas, as the result of new laws governing tax ation will be shifted from the should CTS of the people to the corporations and those upon whom 1t should fall"
 This is playing both ends against the middle. On the one hand, the corpora tions are to be compelled to sell their goods or their services at statutory re- auctions of prices, and on the other hand they are to be compelled to pay half" the total taxes. Why such mod eration? Why not relieve all other classes of property of all tax burdens? Yesterday the courts affirmed an addi- tional tax of nearly $5,OO0.OOO upon the railways of New Jersey. That de- quate to pay interest upon. say, $l0O.- 000.000 of bonds. which might be ex- pended in betterments urgently need ed. Indiana has raised it's railway taxes this year $S,000,000. A single railway in this city is protesting that It's franchise tax assessment Is exces- sive by $43,OOO, O,00O. Three corporations in Georgia are contesting tax yalua- is State taxation. and local taxation and mixed taxation. There are taxes on bonds, and on stock, and on reve- nues. either gross or net. And ol course the rilways are not to be allow ed to get the taxes back from their traffic. for rates are to be regulated hz

 Editor The Advertiser:
 Your accounts of the first bale or cotton for Alabama seem to be a lt- tie confusing. There was new paie of cotton sold on the streets of Head land Friday, August g, 1907, and the sale was reported by telephone to Johnstone and Company, of Montgom- cry, Friday night by J. K.

 So. it appears, that Headland in Henry county. received the first bale of new cotton by an actual sale or the cotton on its streets and by report to Montgomery, and by getting the bale to Montgomery, while in your accounts of the matter you give the credit to Hartford in Geneva county.
