To the Confederate Veterans of Mobile
 County.


 County.
 Under an act of the State Lesisla- ture. approved August g, 1907, provision was made for taking an enumeration or census of the Confederate Veterans of Mobile County. The law provides that the full name present postofice address. date and place of birth, date, State and county of enlistment, name of company and regiment and how such services terminated or otherwise.
 Loose statements cannot be taken. as the value of the census as a per manent record will be minimiBed, About four hundred (400) have been enrolled and blanks have been sent to remote parts of the county and deliv- cred bY hand to many who have not responded. and it IS the desire to make a complete and accurate enrolment of all Confederate Veterans in Mobile County, regardless of the regiment they belonged to. or the State they enlisted from.
 am now preparing to make the final record and those who do not respond to this laS appeal to them. their names will not appear in this valuable history of Alabama Troops in the War of Se- cession."
 The books will be closed May 1, 1908. and veterans who are indifferent as to their enrolment will deprive their heirs of all appropriations that will be made to Alabama Confederate Veterans Kindly govern yourselves according ly Yours fraternally.

The Only Regulator.

T The Alabama Railroad Commission in arrogating to itself the right to regulate rates on the rivers of the state must see faint hope that at last they can earn their salary and regulate something. That this hope $ given them Is as plainly due to the fact that the steamboat men want them to fix a charge. as two and two makes four That they have about as much actual jurisdietion over the tariff charged for hauling freight to Mobile from Selma as they have over hauling freight to Summerdeld Is evil dent to the simplest mind.
 It Is an undisputable fact that the river is the only rate regulator Selma. Montgomery. Demopolis and other similarly situated points have over the railroads. The state railroad com mission has been a dismal failure thus The Times believes that if they will just confine themseiyes to seeing that far in regulating the railroads and the road bed is made safe and the nee sssary equipment is provided. that the cities of Alabama will attend to the matter of adjusting the rates .comn1en surate with the revenues 70 be deriV- ed.

 Congressman Dalzell. of Pennsyl- vania is getting to be what may be called "uppity,'' or in plain words. he has case of big head. The other day he pranced to the floor and haughtily told the Democrats that not only would they be prevented from accomplishing ton of the majority shall be such as the majority desires to pass in its own way and in it's own time" Plainly the tactics of the minority, under the leadership of John Sharpe Williams Is not pleasing to this Representative from the land of Quay but we fail to see what he is going to do about 1t. It may be true the Democrats will not be able to force through such meas ures as they desire but 1t looks very much now as if they will be able to block some of the designs of the Re- publicans. It will be much gained if some of the undssirabie teelsIation .the Republicans are trying to enact can be frustrated. This is the way The Pittsburg Sun regards Dalzell:
 DalzeI may be sure of his job for another term, but there are many Re- publicans in closer districts who are not. It Is yet a question whether he will continue to show or set shown who Is master. Party discipline keeps his colleagues silent under the lash of usurping standpat reactionaries.
