RooaeyeIt on Jacknon.

Houston Post.
 The Nashville American. with its red by the Presidents visit, alludes again to the estimate of Jackson's g character contained in Roosevelts s Life of Benton" and compares the Presidents spoken words at Nash yille At Nashville the President paid lofty tribute to Old Hickorys sterling worth, and lauded him as a citizen, sol dier and President. The American re- minds us that on tomorrow the Presi- dent will be 49 years old, whereas he wrote the Life of Benton" at 2S. and suggests that in his maturer age he properly appreciates Jacksons worth.
 The American concludes that Roose- welt was honest and sincere in the crit icism of 2S, and that he is probably sin cere in his eulogy of 49. We doubt very much that Roosevelt has studied Jack sons career and character since the appearance of the Life of Benton" but can readily understand that his fierce estimates have been modified by time and as a result of the same character of experience which marked Jackson'S tenure of the White House. Anyway, we can afford to dismiss from further consideration the former strlctures up- on Jackson, after these words quoted from tho Nashville speech:
 Andrew Jackson was great Ma tional figure. His career will stand ever more and more as source of m spiration for boy and man in this Re- public. A soldier, statesman, pa triot, as honest man. as fearless a gentleman as ever any Nation had in public or private life. (Applause.) His memory will remain forever precious National heritage, and his public ca reer should be studied and stimulated by every public man who desires to De in good faith the servant of the whole people of the United States"
 From which we infer that the Pres.' dent would have us Ignore his own work in pursuing our studies of Old Hickory's character What Interests us is that the President has retracted his former words and we rejoice that he is straightcned out on the subject Of one of the rOuntry's greatest men
 At Vicksburg. the President came very near taking the back track on the Jefferson Davis in the Life of Ben ton." Perhaps, the hideous words to which we allude have done more to check Southern admiration Of Roose- welt many good traits than all other causes combined. That he has on many occasions regretted them, none can doubt It was felt however that when he sent a floral wreath to De placed upon the casket conta ming the remains of Mrs Jefferson Davis, he meant TOT in, people Of the South to understand that his early estimate or MT paws no longer represented his> opinions At NlcksDuFS' ne went stSP

WHERE DO THE PEOPLE COME Ns

Throughout the present long contin- ued fight against the railroad invest ments of Alabama and neighboring States, the contention of the leaders in the propaganda has been that they were making the fight of the common people--that the reductions in the rail- road rates inure solely to the benefit of the consumeE
 To test the truth of this oft repeated fallacy, to see what would be the re- suit of the proposed reductions. let us take not the unsupported generalitins of these modern crusaders, but let us examine the cold figures involved, and the facts become readily apparent.
 Alabama legislation, of course. af- fleets only intra-state rates. Where, a commodity is shipped to a consumer or merchant in this State from outside of Alabama, the rates made by the Leg islature are of no effect. Now the average haul in Alabama, from a job ping center, such as Birmingham. De- catur. Montgomery. Mobile. or Annis- ton. to the place of. consumption. is for ty miles. Let us take the reduction on few of the most commonly used articles as the simplest illustration of the beneacient workings, of the vaunted "1lo Commodity Act:
 For forty miles haul on the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad the dif- ference in freight charges by the re- auctions embodied in the legislative acts of 1907. as compared with the Louisville and Nashville tariff is as fol- lows:

The Baltimore American condenses it's receipt for happiness into three brief words-"Love confidence and cash" That is good enough. There was a time when love and confidence were looked on as the only essentials to hap piness but that time has faded into the dim and misty distance of the past h these mercenary days that main thing to bring about happiness is ad- judged to be cash. the more tho bet ter. With great many it makes lit tie difference how the cash is obtained or what may be it's source just so there is enough of it. Too much is not sup posed to be among the human possi- bilities. When one has all he can spend he reaches out for more to put with it. Love and confidence are all right but cash comes first with most people these days

and to capital equal rights under the
THE EXTRA SESSION.

Both houses of the Legislature met at noon yesterday in accordance with the proclamation of the Governor, as- sembling them in extraordinary \ ses- sion.
 The organization effected in ,anuary was recognized and therefore no time was lost in election of officers. The regular report of proceedings elsewhere published will tell what was done in the way of introduction of bills. etc.
 There seems to be some difference of opinion as to what is required in connection with bills proposing meas ures not included in the proclamation. The constitutional requirement of a two-thirds vote for legislation about matters not included in the call, it would seem reasonable to suppose was intended to keep down the great flood of bills that are always presented and should therefore be invoked upon presentation as we'll as at time of final action. Any other plan would not keep out any measure any member might see proper to offer and thirty days could easily be consumed with bills which would fail on the final test.
 The Governors message was sent in in printed pamphlet form and was eagerly perused. The matters set forth in the proclamation were specifically referred to and most of them are we'll worthy of consideration, but whether they are of sufficient importance to warrant an extra session may we'll be doubted. As was expected the major portion of the message is devoted to railroad matters, but it may be more specially called an arraignment of those roads which have seen proper to insist upon test of the bills in the courts. There is no argument made to disprove their right to take this course and in view of Governor Corners declarations last year in favor of final judicial determination his attitude in resisting such a course now is ie- cidedly inconsistent

 tier,

Neglect or improper treatment of woman's ills almost inevitably leads to a train of unfortunate results and fre- quietly to a lifetime of misery. In time almost every organ of the body becomes affected, the nervous system is broken down. the digestion is weaken ed and symptoms of kidney trouble de- velop.
 This was the experience of Mrs. !. Gleason. well known resident of Pen-} field. Monroe County, N. Y. q had suf- fered for years with weakness which many women have" she says, and this in time led to nervous prostration. was often hysterical and would some times faint away two or three times a day.
 My stomach became so weak that there was hardly thing I could eat and keep down. There were heavy, Ieaden pains through my abdomen. I was troubled with gas and my stomach was so tender that 1t seemed raw For two weeks could not walk on account of weak Kidneys and a lame back.
 My heart jumped and occasionally skipped beat. During the dreadful fainting spells I would have to be taken, out of doors. When I came to l would be weak and helpless for a long time. The least bit of noise upset my nerves and I was all the time imag-
  had severe headaches and was in bed for two months.
 T employed doctor of and on for several weeks, but when I failed to get any better, I gave up taking his medi- cine. pr. Williams Pink Pills were recommended by a friend And they helped me at once. I took theN5ills until entirely cured and recommend them very highly"
 \ Those who are interested in the treatment which cured Mrs Gleason may obtain further information by writing for the booklets Plain Talks to wo- men" and Nervous Disorders which we send free on request.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are tonic for the blood and nerves and have proved especially helpful to women and growing girls. They were used cxten- sively in private medical practice and. proving efficient in a wide range of dis eases and absolutely safe in all cases were placed upon general sale with di- rections for use prepared by the doctor himself. Their merit has made them the most widely used family medicine In the world today
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or will be sent, postpaid on receipt of price, 50 cents per box six boxes for $s.50, by the pr. Williams Medicine Co, Schenectady, N. Y.

Can any reasonable man believe that
 because the freight rate on a sack of
 flour has been reduced seven mills. the
 consumer will get that sack for sixty
 nine and one-half cents instead of sew
 enty cents. or that the benefit of the
 reduction of an infinitesimal one-fifth mill on a plug of tobacco would go to the purchaser or that plug? On sen- yard piece of calico retailing for about seventy-five cents, the rate would be reduced one and one-fifth mills. Does any man believe that theNbeneft of shis would accrue to the providers for our little friends. ''the sun-honnet girls" so often mentioned by the champions of the people.
 These instances are taken hap hazard from the list above. Others will sug- gest themselves to any man of intel ligence who will take the trouble to scan the list.
 Representing so little, as is mani festly the case. on each individual our- chaser, that the small reduction would never go to the individual consumer, these differences, nevertheless, in the aggregate. represent to our transporta- ton facilities the narrow margin be- ence would. if the common carriers could be legally deprived of their just earnings on the capital invested, go to swell the profits of manufacturers and large jobbers. In the latter instance, the money usually leaves Alabama. goes back to the great manufacturing concerns who generally have practical ly no investments here.
 Give to the railroads the benefit of this little difference, and owing to the immense amount of traffic handled, you enable them to make some return on Alabama Cand we need more of ft), with the result the railroads re-invest these earnings in developing every part of our rich and resourceful but still largely undeveloped State. They will reach out these great arteries of com mercest to the secluded mine to the se- questered but fertile agricultural com munities, to the forests that are ob- scure, and carry to them the means which will enable them to breathe the life of trade. In building these eYten- sions, in attending to the immense road operatives and city operatives, they will employ thousands and thou sands of our common people" (who are our hest people), the railroad employe will be able to school his children, pay his grocer, have cash for his family's clothes the merchant. in his turn. can pay his landlord. and tho landlord will haze the money to pay his taxes. Thus the workings of prosperity will ram.fy our entire industrial organ iza tion and so far al our common wealth is concerned, the present fnan- -ial disasters and panic, admittedly due To ill-consdered legislation and dem agogic agitation. will be in a great measure averted and Alabama will take her stand in the march of progress md prosperity, giving to the poor man he greatest opportunities to earn his daily bread and better his condition,
