Of all the States which have been admitted into the Union since the gov ernment was organized none had as great a population as Oklahoma has. When we think of the meagre num- Der of inhabitants with which Nevada. for example, sneaked into the Union and compare it with the million and a half. or very near it, that will come in with Oklahoma we can well pardon the latter for feeling somewhat vain of it's stalwart size.

But it happens there are quite num- Der of commercial bodiess throughout the State who differ with the Governor and their interests are of 8 respect able quantity and quality Instead Of dubbing the action of business men as a joke 1t would perhaps be better for the State at large If the Governor would consider such action as worthy fact, be better for all concerned, if the chief executive of the state should put himself in harmony with all interests, even if he should feel that certain in- terests have been out of harmony with him. A jokes a joke, no doubt, but 1t ceases to be one where millions or dollars are involved. Governor Conner may differ with the commercial bodies, but 1t is not in good taste to say that joke. The State is to pay the expenses of an extra session; wouldn't 1t be worth while to find out first whether or not the people of the State desire an extra session aud further and un- expected leEislatiop2

Go Pay The Tax.

Birmingham Ledger.
 Men can pay their poll taxes now and until February. They should be Irged by friends to do so. It is Q shame for a man in State and county like ours not to be a voter. It Is a louble shame that he is willing to let other people govern him without his Fote, and to proclaim that he Will not pay $1.50 a year to the schools for his own race.
 Alabama only asks a man to pay poll tax for twenty-four years then ut cost. The poll tax goes to th, echools, and a man ought to be glaa ro pay 1t If he never votes. He thet r slps others to advance.

Outrage on Coed Taste.

We think that Governor Comer shouid give commercial organizations credit for expressing the true opinion of the business interests they pun port to represent. They do not aneSS to sneak for all the people. but they do speak with authority upon any proposition likely to do injury to tho business interests. The Governor may weigh their opinions. as against the opinions of other organizations or lndl- yiduals, and decide not to be guided by them, but it is offensive to good taste for him to describe the resolutions Of the Birmingham Commercial Cluo as the greatest joke of the year.
