ANOTHER FAD.

Bishop Fallows. of Chicago gives out the information that If people would live on sour milk they would live to be | least 12o years old. But" inquiries The New Orleans World, If a man sutsists on diet of sour milk is 1t not probable that he will think he has reached the age of so by the time he gets to be 4o:" That seems to us to be question worth considering. To begin with. there are people who cam not drink sour milk and would not consent to adopt 1t as an exclusive diet if they could thereby be assured of liv- ing q, thousand years. That may be prejudice. habit. or an unconquerable repugnance to such diet. but no mat ter what the cause may be they would as soon think of swallowing poke juice. They just can't drink 1t, that's all.
 But supposing the Fallows fad should be adopted. who knows what ShSSi tt Wouiu nave on the Hurnan eyS~ tenn and body7 It might prolong life. as he ayers, but only actual expert ment and experience can show what other results would follow, and to leafn that thoroughly and accurately might require a lifetime. The excius- i've use of that diet might affect the body and It's various contents that long life would be an unendurable burden. We know that chemists and others tell us thst a certain diet will have certain effects. but in many cases their reas- oning is largely guesswork. They know what effect ought to follow the use of certain foods or drinks, but they don't know that these results will &C., tually follow. While the prescribed regimen might insure health and long life to one person it might make a walking mummy of another, and hardly any length of life would compensate one for such a condition. In short, un- til long and actual experimentation for- tifes the Bishops contention we pre- dict that he will not find many enthu- siastic converts.

 This paper is not constitution lawyer enough to crticise an adjudication of inc Supreme Court: but 1t is American enough 10 accept the findings of that bench as con elusive of the matter in litigation. There Is considerable clamor due to the decision in the Minnesota case. and some of our corner lawyers are satisfied that 1t Is an end of States rights and a nulification Of The eleventh amendment.
 It is at one diverting and incensruous to
 see Calhoun Democrats accepting the construction of Mir. Justice John NJ. Harlan
 touching the doctrine of States rights while
 utterly repudiating the position of Mir
 Justice Edward D White on that question.
 Justice Harlan is of a school that emphati- ory. while Justice White is to the bench of 1908 what Justice Campbell was to the

 Some dozen years ago the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional the income tax feature Of the Wilsou tariff bill, and 1t raised howl all over the South and West. and some months later the Democratic con vention at Chicago was In favor of pack

Letter to The Editor
Monument to Lee. Thn AAynrfiaar.

Editor of The Advertiser:
 l clip the editorial paragraph from The Birmingham Ledger of todsy' 5,a,,; ,bice Iee produced the phrase, War of Seces- sion" found in an act of the Legisla- ture last year. The less of 1t the pet ter:
 We can see no reason in the world why the national government should put a statue of General Lee in Wash ington City. We are erecting statues to General Lee and they, are proper cans, but he did not earn fame in the service of the, national government. 1T the admirers of General Lee want 10 put a statue to him in the City or Washington that would be proper. but we can see no reason why the govern ment should put statue there in his honor
 General Washington did not earn the more substa ntial claims of his fame "ln the service of the national govern ment."t He won immortality as sol dier. before the birth of the present government. He fought for independ- ence of States. not of national gov ernment and he fought for the principle first pronounced by states. without even a federal form of organization among themselves. to wit. the right or a people to change their form of gov in America more deserving of monu- ment4 at Washington City. built by the people of the whole land, from sea to sea. than General Lee, because he is the most illustrious defender of the Ameri- can born doctrine to wit. the right of a people to change their form of gov ernment at will.
 { 1t so happens that at the outset, General Lee did not accept the .politi- cal policy of a Southern Confederacy. So much the greater emphasis does hIs esUousal of the Confederate cause give to his just claim to immortality of performance. He did assert con secrated devotion to the fundamental American principle and So magnificent was his conduct in defence of it that a monument commensurate with his merits. would rival the. shaft that lifts its head into the clouds to tell of Gen. eral Washington.

SUNDAY. APRIL 5, 1908.

The Louisville Courier-Journal. 90 we are told by another contemporary. asserts that some of Kentucky's best citizens are among the night riders. If that is true it is certainly much to be regretted that they do not set a better example, for no one, we imag- inc. wifi contend that the lawless course of these riders is an example of good citizenship. And we feel com peIled to remark that if The Courier Journal really used the language att tributed to it-and we hope it did not --it is not giving the outside world a very high opinion of Kentucky's best citizenry.

Inc city of Baltimore is certainly

The city of Baltimore is certainly lucky in the way of obtaining revenue from liquor license. There are now 2,500 saloons in the city. and the li- cense is $25o. for each, thus afrording $s25, 900 a year revenue from this one source. Under a new law it is stated that the license will be doubled. which of course doubles the revenue for the city. Whatever else may be said of 1t, the sale of booze pays Baltimore.

WHAT JUDGE PEARCE SAYS.
He Did Hold The Damage Act is Un-
 constitutional.

Geneva. Ala, April S--Henry A. Pearce, Judge of the Thirteenth judicial circuit, was seen today by your cores pendent (The Montgomery Journal) and asked to make an expla nation of his decision in Elba recently in the case of Lee vs. the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company. which has been much discussed.
 Judge Pearce said that the act Of the last Legislature General Acts, D. yB1 entitled An Act to prescribe the meas ure of damages for loss, destruction injury or failure to deliver goods by common carrier" etc, was held by him to be unconstitutional in so far as the fourth section is concerned. That sec tion provides a penalty after presenta- tion of proper claims within sixty days and failure to pay such claim within sixty days from such demand, of a four fold damage for amounts less than twenty-five dollars and graduated lessening scale for larger amounts; and Judge Pearce held that that section was not properly set out in the title
 The other sections of the act were not In question, and the fourth section was held to be unconstitutional merely on the ground that the title of the act was not broad enough to cover the penalties prescribed in the fourth sec ton

"Our autocratic ruler" That's what the country gets by putting such men In power. The bill should have been passed without opposition but the Speaker has been been able to dominate the House.

Cigar Bands and school Boys.

Editor The Advertiser:
 A universal protest should be raised against the cigar band craze among young school boys. They should be prohibited by the rules of all public and private schools from having any of them at school. From experience with my own boy I know the bands receive more thought than the lessons. and the craze has become absolutely demoralizing. It is bands, bands. bands, bands. morning. noon and night, collect bands, swap bands. buy bands, sell 6andsdream t. are n.t bands as It Is even stamp fads.

Mir. ArrinEton's Letter.

Edltor The Advertiser:
 l read in The Elba Clipper that Judge Pearce did not pass on the con stitutionality of An Act to Prescribe the measure for loss, or destruction. or injury to delay in delivering, or failure to deliver goods by common car riers, and to regulate the collection thereof. General Acts, 1901, page 9S, during the trial of J, NJ. Lee vs Louis vile and Nashville Railroad Company at Elba Circuit Court The Clipper, Ss in error. A special plea was filed al leging that Section of said act was not covered by the title of the act as required by the constitution. Judge Pearce announced that the defendant could not recover the penalty sued for; that said Section 1, which provides for the penalty. was not covered by the title of the act and was in violation of Section 45, Article I, of the Consti- tuition of Alabama, and that he would give the affirmative charge on the special plea for the defendant The parties immediately reached an agree ment as to the real value of the goods said to have been lost.
