But we have not these protec- tions nor do we want any increase fn the constitutional tax limit.

If it is adopted. it will open a mighty leak in the Treasury Depart ment of our State. I verily believe that its adoption would result in a sub mission, by some future Legislature, of another amendment proposing to in- crease the constitutional tax limit Let the counties take care of their own roads and let this section of the Con- stitution stay as 1t Is, It has doubt less already saved the State from finan- cial difficulties. it has certainly never result is, to say the least. speculative and dangerous.

Has the intense heat of the past week or two had a bad effect on hu- manity, or what is the matter? The papers every day have accounts of kill ings. suicides, accidents and murders all over the country, and many of the deaths are either from wilfuI murder or suicide. It looks as if the torrid conditions through which we have re- gently passed affect the brain in some way. The news dispatches teem with events of the most horrible nature. as if humanity has lost control of itself. There's surely some connection between crime and hot weather. though that may not account for the many acci- dents that are reported.

"CrOssing the Lfne1 of Three Score and

 Monroe. La, July 1s. 1903. Editor The Advertiser:
 Young reader: today, July ls, is my roth birthday. I came into this world In an unpainted cottage located on a hillside, on stage line road. between Tuscaloosa--then the capital of Ala there were no railroads. coal or iron mines in Alabama. Wetumpka was the head of steamboat navigation and was a place of more importance than Mont gomery. A year or so before my birth, an event happened that seems to haye thrown it's shadow across my life. The Bank of the State, with branch banks, busted"

roo BUSY.

In a recent issue of The Manufac- turers' Record the observant editor. R. H Edmonds. has this little sermonette:
 Some years ago the writer was In one of the busy, hustling towns of Alabama, a town In which everybody was at work. a town which at that time was growing as few towns in the South had ever grown. During his heard of politics, not line concerning political affairs was seen in the local
 I:ot 'ntinv this striking fact to a citizen of the place. there condition the statement: "The people of this town are too busy to talk poll ties" What a blessed thing if such a South. The people of that town were not only busy in building furnaces and machine shops, cotton mills and other industries. but they were busy In build that period of prosperity that town probably built more fine churches in proportion to population than any oth- Or town or city in the United States and an electric light plant, good stores, splendid homes, and in every other line ot work which meant human advance msRt; 1ai ro13,,e nIt they were OO busy to the time shall soon come when that spirit will be found in every village, in every town and city and on every farm throughout the South!
 As a general proposition most of us should say amen" to the doctrines herein expressed. At the same time there may be too much--or too little of a good thing. All good citizens should keep themselves well informed regarding the prominent political ques- tions of the day, but that does not mean that they should neglect their work or their business to sit around and talk politics. for that Is pretty apt to be unprofitable in the long run. Wilful ignorance, if we may 90 term it. of the issues and aspirants before the people is largely the cause of un- ft officials and undesirable legislation.
 We do not know what town the writ CT had aIlusion to. for there are quite a number of them in Alabama which can be called busy and hustling; or at all events they were such before the recent financial troubles, and the term will apply to at least some of them yet. It is a high compliment to the citizens of such a town to say that they are 'too busy to talk politics" if by that 1t is intended to mean that they will not neglect their occupation to become politicians. but they ought never to be too busy to inform themselves. That is the difference.

SPEECH WRITTEN AND SPEECH DE
 LTyERED.

The appearance in more than one Alabama paper of paragraph noting a difference between The Advertisers account of Governor comer's speech at Samson on July {. and accounts pub iished in other daily papers calls for the direct statement that The Advcr- tiser was the only daily paper which had representative at the Samson speaking. The only other paper rep resented was The Samson Ledger. a weekly. and The Ledger's account was in full harmony and accord with that of The Advertiser. Other papers printed the speech according to the prepared copies sent them from the Governors ofice. and took it for grant cd that the Governor spoke as he wrote. The Advertiser took nothing for granted. Accustomed to spend money to get news. 1t sent one of It's most experienced and reliable report CTS to get the speech.
 Before he left an advance copy of the Governors speech was furnished The Advertiser as 1t was furnished other papers. This representative knew of this and he knew of the con- tents of the Governors prepared speech. His instructions were. if the Governor delivered the speech as it was written. to notify the ofice and 1t would be printed without the payment of telegraph tolls. But the Governor abandoned his prepared speech and struck out according to his bent. What he said at Samson was printed, not what. he wrote in the ofice.
 Other papers not having representa- lives at Samson printed the prepared speech under a Samson date line. That this Is true is indicated by the fact that no other Alabama paper mention- ed the sensational circumstance that Editor Ed Nj. Johnson. from the same platform, answered the Governor. This was the central feature of the days happenings at Samson and no other paper mentioned it. because no other paper had a representative on the ground. In this was the biggest diff ference between the report printed In The Advertiser from its special corre- spondent and the speech printed in othr papers as 1t was prepared in the Governors ofice.
