If it were possible to laid down by The Advertiser we don't suppose that any person in Alabama would raise any objection. Columbus Ledger
 We owe an apology for not sooner making correction. The constitutional minimum size of county in Alabama is 500 square miles and we wrote that whenever 1t is practicable to form a new county containing 600 square miles, and without reducing below the con- stitutional limit the area of any old county from which a part of the new one is taken, it ought to be done"
 The words below the constitutional limit" were left out in setting up the matter and overlooked in proof read ing. We have long advocated smaller counties, when they can be made with out too much derangement of old coun- ty lines. Under the proposed consti- tutional amendment 1t Is possible, if 1t is adopted, for the people in a given area to secure an election on the ques- ton of a new county. which shall con- tain 600 square miles and not reduce any other county below that number Of zquare miles. It is a good and safe IIoposition and we hope the amend inent will be edopted when vote1 on at the genera. election in Novemn,r 1908

William Pinkney Whyte.

William Pinknev White, of Maryland, since the death of Senator Petths the oldest member of the United States Senate in point of years, was born in Baltimore, August g. 1924. At the age of 23 years he was sent to the Mary land Legislature and during the sixty years that have elapsed. since then he has held nearly every public office within the gift of the people of his State. At 29 years of age he became Comptroller of the State. Tn 1868 he was made United States Senator to fill an unexpired term. In 1871 he was elected Governor of Maryland. but be- fore the expiration of his term was ele- vated to the United States Senate once more. Being succeeded in the Senate by Arthur P German, MT. Whyte re- turned to private life. but was shortly afterward elected Mayor of Baltimore. A few years later he was elected At torney General of Maryland. Six years ago he was elected City Solicitor of Baltimore. On the death of Senator German in 1905, MT. Whyte was again sent to the United States Senate to fill out the unexpired term. As an evil dence of Senator Whyte's long public career 1t is not without interest to note that he is the only survivor of the Uni ted States Senators who voted against the fifteenth amendment to the Consti- tuition, conferring upon the negro the right to vote

crete Is 2 splendid building material, but 1t refuses to be hurried.
 The recent fatal collapse of a partly finished building In Philadelphia is said to have been caused by or through" a misunderstanding of orders" What a familiar sound that has! We hear it repeated in connection with many dire full railroad wrecks and marine dis asters. In this Philadelphia case it is stated that the supports were re- moved from an important portion of the building while the concrete was green" as it is termed. The work gave way and brought down a portion of the walls. killing several workmea and seriously iniuring many others. It Is important that all these facts should be fully known. as concrete is becoming a favorite building material and all facts which tend to ensure safety should be kept before the public. Proper care and attention may mean the saving of many lives. and hurry should not be allowed to take the place of efficiency. either in material or workmanship.

 Professor Newcomb Is special leclur- CT at the summer session at the Uni versity. After telling of observations made by Lowell and other scientists Professor Newcomb brought up the matter of the alleged canals on the distant plant and discoveries made by experts in problems in physics. He showed that Mars is too cold to have irrigation canals. The water in such canals. according to Professor New como would be frozen solid a greater pp of the time.
 He explained that Lowelfs theories of canals were based without respect to the new theories in these lines. Tn speaking of the possibility of the habl, tation of Mars. he said the laws Of heat and theories of the atmosphere made such reasoning imprudent

A EOoI, nTTIE

The Alabama House yesterday de- bated the question of submitting to the people of the State a constitutional amendment providing for a session of the Legislature every two years, and the measure was defeated because of the lack of a three-fourths vote of the House. When the vote was taken it was shown that there were sixty-two in favor of the bill and thirty were opposed to it. Following the call of the House somebody, a somebody who happened by accident to be member of the House, made a motion to verify the vote before the speaKer had a chance to announce it. A rule of the House, a fools rule, whether of the making of the House or by constitu- tional privilege, under the motion made, denied the right of a member to change his vote, and prevented other members who happened to be outside of the House at the time of the roll call to add their names to the roll. A rule of this kind might possibly yet very doubtfully. be permissible in 8 but Is indecently unfit in a legisla tive body supposed to have intelligence enough to legislate for the benefit of the human race; especially is this so when the question is the submission of an amendment of the constitution to the people, who made 1t. With a. vote of two to one against him, this man, wherever he comes from, called into IOTce a House rule WnlCn LnereDy pos sibly denied to the people of the entire State the privilege of voting on an amem1ment to their own constitution. The question was not one of preserva- tion of House rules. but one of decency as we'll as respect for the people of the whole State. The vote as 1t stood that is. sixty-two to thirty~-shows that the people of the State. so far as it Is represented in the House, want the constitution amenSed so that there may be session of the Legislature, but a fool rule of the House permitted one man to stand in the way and kill an opportunity or privilege of the people to say whether or not they wanted to have the States constitu- tion so amended.
 The above from The Mobile Item will strike the average man with much force. The motion to reconsider the first vote prevailed and the bill was finally passed by a vote of more than two to one. It now remains with the people to say whether the amendment shall be adopted. Our own opinion is that the danger of wrong Iegisla- tion is too great to stand without chance of amendment or repeal fol foar years.

 NOT so ENORMOUS.

Much has been said and printed about the large fine imposed on the Standard oil Company. but when the facts and conditions are considered the fine is not large. Putting fine and costs and other expenses at a round thirty mil lion dollars, the government reports show that the net profits of the com pany for one year would pay it and leave a handsome profit over. Again: Rockefeller is credited with being worth thousand million dollars. Now if a man who owns one thosuand dol lars worth of property of all kinds should commit a crime or misdemeanor and fine of thirty dollars should be imposed on him no one would look on it as excessive yet that fine would bear the same proportion to the mans wealth that thirty millions bear to the estimated wealth of Rockefeller.
 Thus assuming that John D. should pay the amount himself it would no be an excessive penalty. when con. sidered in connection with his vas wealth. and he could easily pay it with out embarrassment. But it Is not tc be supposed that he will pay it out o his own pocket if 1t Is paid at all which is not 8 certainty. The enor nous resources of the Standard wil enable it to hold the matter up in definitely. we should say, and perhap evade 1t at last. Admitting that pay ment is enforced, however, no sym pathy need be wasted on the Standard It will really be getting off very light ly and probably deserves much nor severe penalties than the fine impose' by the court. At a matter of fact however. the oil King. while attend ing church last Sunday, proudly re marked Judge Landis will be dea' a long time before that fine is paid, and he is probably correct in his pre- diction Imposing a fine Is one thing enforcing its payment is quite anothe thing.

Waiting for That LegistatoT.

hat he would fittingly represent New York in the Senate, not only as the States most distinguished living citi- zen, but because in his person he Is supposed to exemplify the new Idea in politics which just now is predominant in the States affairsS
 There is no reason to believe. these friends of the President declare, that the Legislature of 1909, to be elected in the Presidential year of 1908. will be anything but overwhelmingly Repub- lican, and on this Legislature will de- volve the task of e1ecting Senator Platts successor, unless that gentle man should die or resign before the Legislature of 1908 shall be adjourned. There is no indication noticeable on the surface of things that Senator Platt contemplates restgning. and his death is no more imminent now than 1t has been any time these last five years.
 Mir. Roosevelt's idea is that he can be of greater service to his State and to the United States at large in the Senate chamber than~he can anywhere else, even as boss of the Panama Ca- nal.
