Poll Tax and ExemDtlon.

GadSden TlmeS-NeWb
 The Montgomery Advertiser in re- cent editorial solved a knottv problem in an offhand way. but whether The Advertiser Is correct In its statement remains to be seen. In speaking of the necessity for paying the poll tax,
 Any who have. since 1901. reached the age of 45 and has failed to pay this poll tax, Is liable therefor and Is still under the, same penalties. issue with this proposition and in- cline to the belief that when a man has reached the age of 45 years and is constitutfonally exempt from the be penalized out of the privileges which this exemption carries. In other words. that the slate is wiped clean.
 The language of the Constitution would seem to bear out the assertion of The Advertiser. It is as follows.
 q" And shall have paid on or before the first day of February next preceding the date of the election at which he offers to vote. all poll taxes due from him for the year 1901 and
 The mooted question is whether the courts will construe this language to mean that the non-payment or one years poll tax would distranchise man for the remainder of his life. or whether the exemption grained by the Constitution tacitly forbids a penalty of this kind. The new State Constitu- ton gives the Legislature the power 45 to 50 years. but there Is nothing in the instrument bearing upon the point in question and 1t Is likely that the courts will have to settle It.
 Tn the meantime. the. fact remains that 1t is a mighty sorry white man who sells his birthriEht for Sl'5O year.

A TRUST AND A WOMAN.

They have in Paris what they call The Society of Authors" They are the people who write plays and things, and like all other organized unions they are selfish and intolerant. The Society recently held a meeting at which an agreement was entered into forbidding theatre-owners and managers giving free seats except to critics on first nights" and to small number of persons whose names are to be placed on special list. We suppose this special list includes the members of the Society and their friends. To put 1t briefly. this union. as we may call the Society proposes to control the theatres and force them to obey it's orders.
 But the Society forgot one important person who owns theatre of her own and manages 1t in her own way. That person is Sarah Bernhardt, sometimes called "the Divine Sarah" Not only does she own a theatre. but she also has a will of her own. and doesn't pro- pose to put on the yoke of any society or other organization. Why" she de- mands. should I not be allowed to in- vite whom I choose to my theatre? Is not the theatre my house; and by what right can outsiders meddle with the arrangements of my house and the list of any guests?" She then declares: ''Whatever happens. I will continue to suit myself. and my authors will ask ever the syndicate of managers may decide, my friends will always be well come in my theatre"
 There we have 1t flat and to the point and if it isn't irreverent or impo- lite We say bully for Sally" The language and the determination are just like her. and 1t is a safe bet that she will stand to her declaration. And why should she not? She owns her theatre absolutely and has just as much right to decide who shall be invited to it without charge as she has to say who shall be invited to at- tend receptions at her home. It is said that several other owners and mana gers of theatres will stand by her and refuse to be controlled by this authors trust Whether they do or do not 1t will make no difference to Sarah. She has not lived her three-score and four years without acquiring a will of her own and she will carry it out The Parisians should uphold her. for she is right.

It is hinted that the Government of The Netherlands has given Castro to understand that unless he does or un- does certain things by November next. he may expect to be stood on his head and soundly spanked or something of the kind. If he is wise he will try little nation before it is too late. The Dutch are slow about starting but when they do get at it they are hard to stop.

HE WAS SCARED,

The President returned to Washing ton from Oyster Bay earlier than ha.. been intended. and it is plain that he was "skeered" over the political situa- tion. for one of his first acts after reaching the White House was to send the following missive to the National Committee of his party:
 ''In heavens name. let's get to work and pump some hot. red blood into this campaign. Put some ginger into 1t! Never mind card indexing the people to find out how we think they ought to vote-lets go out with some red fire and stump talk and bands. and stir em up so they do vote. Heavens! It's coming November"
 That sounds decidedly Rooseveity. whatever other opinion we may have of it. Plainly his commands were not obeyed to his satisfaction. so he pro- ceeded to inject some hot air into the campaign on his own hook. and in his own style. Whether his performance has added anything to the chances of his candidate is a matter about which
  there will be decided differences of opinion. There are those who think he would have done better to have kept out of the fight entirely than to have gone into it In the style he has done recently.
 That there was cause for his uneasi- ness and for his ippetuous advice was plain enough to those who in any de- gree kept up with the campaign. The individual called General Apathy was getting in his work in the Republican ranks. Whether this resulted from a feeling of indifference towards Taft or because of overconfidence in his strength matters little, but plainly they needed stirring up. Whether 1t was red blood, ginger. red fire or hot air that was needed We are not saying but their campaign was getting sleepy. So far as Taft himself is concerned 1t isn't awake yet He's not doing much. and Roosevelt makes mattcrs worse when he butts in. The indications are that the awakening, if it comes at all. will come too late for Taft's benefit.

RHEUMATISM DRIVEN FROM
 THE BLOOD
A Remedy Which Assists Nature Produces a Cure W hich is Permanent as This
 Case Proves.

Every sufferer from rheumatfsm wants to be cured and stay cured.
 The prospect of the return of tl.e same old rheumatism every year Is not attractive to anybody who has gone through one seize. Most treat ments aim simply to keep down" the rheumatic poisons in the blood. The tonic treatment with pr. Williams Pink Pills has proved by hundreds of cures that 1t builds up the blood to 8 point that enables it to cast out these poisons through the regular channels of excretion the bowels, kidneys and the skin. When this is done the rheumatism is permanently cured and as long as the blood is kept pure and rich the patient will be immune from attacks of rheumatism.
 Mrs. w. H. ,Amburg is the wife of a prosperous farmer living on R. F. D. No. 3, Lancaster, N. H.. and about four miles from that city. She owes her recovery from rheumatism to this treatment and her statement should interest every sufferer.
 T have no idea what brought on the rheuma tism,'' she says. but I suffered agonies from 1t for about two years and for five months of that time my condition was very serious. I had severe pains through my hips. in my limbs and in the small of my back SO that was unable to stand up straight. felt weak and Respondent and lost in weight.
 Two Lancaster doctors treated me but l didn't get any better and as had seen Dr. williams Pink Pills men, tioned in our home newspaper. I stop ped using all other medicines and be- gan taking them. After I had taken the first box felt that they were bene- hting me and after a few more boxes had been used was entirely free from the rheumatism. This was two years ago and have had no return of the trouble. have recomm ended Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills to my frinds and know of one case in which they brought great benefit"
 With the fact in mind that the rheu- lnatism is in the blood. it will readily be seen how useless it is to try to cure 1t by rubbing liniments on she skin External applications may give tempor- ary relief from pain but to cure rheu- matism you must treat 1t through the blood. Dr. Williams Pink Pills have cured more cases of rheumatisl.. .Aan any other prescription and no sufferer should allow any prejudice to stand in the way of giving these pills a through trial.
 pr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or will be mailed post paid. on receipt of price, 50 cents per box; six boxet $3.50, by the Dr. VII. Hams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y.

DOWN AND OUT

The statement sent out hy the Pres ident that he will not reply to MT. Bryan's latest letter shows that even Roosevelt,s hard head can receive an impression if one hits 1t hard enough. He will not reply to Bryan because he cannot do so. With all his wonderful aptitude for twisting facts to suit his own purposes he sees that tsilence Is golden" in the present Instance. Now he can fully appreciate the words of Sir Walter Scott when he said:
 Oh. what tangled web we weave
 When first we practice to deceive.
 He set out in his overbearing and clustering way to deceive the Ameri- can people and succeeded with many O. them. his intention being to create the impression that numerous other public men are interruptions scoundrels and ttat he alone is above suspicion. He plainly thought that his position as President was amply sufficient to sus- tain any charges he might make and that the signature of Theodore Roose- welt was complete voucher for h;s statements.
 Well. he has had his say. and finds to his surprise and modification that he slipped up and hit the earth with the proverbial dull thud. He has been called down so promptly. plainly and successfully that he finds himself won dering what struck him. Ills an. nouncement that he will not answer Mir. Bryan's statement because it is only a personal attack on him comes with exceeding bad grace from a man who has shown himself to be a postmaster in the art of in5ulging in personalities and abusive epithets. He may treat Foraker and Haskell with silent contempt but with the Nebras- kan 1t Is different. He knows Mir. Bryan to be in every respcsr a foeman worthy of his steel. and one not to be put down or silencec by Incre asser- ton. He will not reply to Bryan be. cause he cannot.
 The plain truth is that MT. Bryans letter which was printed in wednes. days papers was one Of the most con vincing sfat,ments ever sent out by public man. He expo ssd the hvpo- critical pretensions of the adiniristra- tion so plainly that none but the will fully blind can fail t. see and under stand. He unco 1ercd and exposed tfse hand that was being played by Eoose- welt and shows him up just as he :s. Plainly the latter shows wisdom and discretion unusual to him when he takes refuge in silence. lie sees that every public utterance he gives out only adds to his own undoing. Pity h. did not see this at an earlier period. for it would have saved him much Lumilia- tion and the American public the spec. tacle of a President letting himself down to the lowest level of dirty pol tiles.

Governor Haskell,s talk of sui

Governor Haskell's talk of suing Hearst for libel will be nuts for the latter statesman. He has had a num- Der of suits of that kind and each one is a big advertisement for himself and his string of newspapers. Nothing will please him better than such a suit, for what Hearst wants is notoriety and the courts will give him a whole lot of 1t if Haskell carries out his threat. The Governor would better try to get even in some other way if he feels az grieved.
