The Montgomery advertiser. [volume] (Montgomery, Ala.) 1885-1982, 1909-03-09

Among the many queer subjects of
disputation that have come up of late
to worry the coiners of words is the
discussion as to what an unmarried
man should be called married wo-
man is Mistress and an unmarried one
is Miss, but the men are all Misters,
whether they are married or unmar-
ried, and the object is to find a title
for the single man that will he easy
and as descriptive as Miss ls for tn e
single woman. There doesn't seem to
be any word that will exactly fiji the
requirement. One contemporary sug-
gests Mist as an abbrevia ton of
Mister that he thinks will I'LL the bill.
but it doesn't appear TO get off exactly
right, and We doubt If it will be adopt
ed. Let the language experts get busy
and turn out something that will at
least be short and convenient. and that
will keep the married and unmarried
men from getting mixed Who will
find the word?

WAS 1T FAIRLY ADOPTEDf

Judge M. +. Morris, formerly Asso-
ciate Justice of the Court Of Appeals
of the District of Columbia, recently had
something interesting to say about the
Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal
Constitution. That amendment, as most
people will call to mind, declares that
1.-THE right of the citizen of the United
States to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by
any State on account OF race, color or
previous condition of servitude" Com
menting thereon the Judge remarks:
at is not improper, and It is not
too late. to raise that question now.
For. alth ough 1t Is over thirty-seve
years since 1t was proclaimed by the
State Department to have been ratified
by three-fourths OF the States and TO
have therefore become part Of the
organic law, 1t has never been unqual-
ifiedly accepted by the states most
that 1t has been openly evaded by
those States and their evasion of 1t
has been practically sanctioned by the
Supreme Court OF the United States. To
a great extent 1t is now dead letter;
and yet 1t remains as a possible, and
even probable cause for annoyance and
irritation TOT coming generations. II
is time that 1t should be wholly ex-
plunged from the statute-book by prop
er judicial construction which would
save our organic law from future OK
perimental tamperings Of similar
character"
There has always existed very grave
doubt as to the validity of that amend
ment. There is very little doubt as 10
tb raaSnns For ito axtstapoa Tt mos
adopted-if it was ever adopted as re-
quired by the instrument OF which it
purports TO be part-it was declared
adopted during the unsavory recon
struction period. There were three
classes of people behind 1t. There were
doubtless we'll meaning people. who
knew nothing OF the conditions exist
ing in the South, nothing as to the
fitness or unftness of the negro for
the ballot. and nothing of the evil eff
fects of universal suffrage. They only
reasoned that the former slaves had
been freed that they had been made
citizens OF the United States and there
fore all of them should vote. The mo-
tives of such people may have been
good, but they we're based on igno-
rance.
Then there was another class, bitter,
ma levolent and unforgiving, devoid of
all feelings Of charity or humanity,
who wanted to visit on the Southern
people all the injury and humiliation

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.
Why American Exporters DO Not Get Thei
Share

Why American Exporters DO Not Get Their
share.
From an address by Representative Gustav
Kustermann.
The real trouble is that our merchants
and manufacturers do not go after the trade
as the manufacturers of European countries
do.
No agent from Europe ever goes there TO
solicit trade without fully understanding the
language OF the people of those countries,
which IS Spanish. 1 informed that
agents for American firms not versed In
spanish expect their customers to learn
English that they may sell them Amert-
can goods.
Another falling of the American agent, L
am told by European agents employed in
South America. is that tho American agents
with their customers. but are always in a
hurry and expect an order the first day
of their arrival.
Still another reason for the failure of the
American agent to capture orders Ia that he
expects to have his customers select from
the samples he carries with him. while the
EuropeRilagent offers TO furnish such stylss
OF merchandise suit the tastes and de-
mands OF those countries. even though he
does not carry with him the special design
7 maintain that trade does not follow
the flag and it Is not at ali likely that any
more trade could be obtained in South
America, even though subsidized ships were
ready to transport the goods.
Get the trade first and then there will be
no difficulty In finding ships that will ca
gerry seek that business without the pFofrsf
OF subsidies.

TUESDAY, MARCH Q, 1909.
HE Is SAVED.

The esteemed Georgians are prepar-
ing to look cheerful over their saliva
ton from a grave disaster. 1t is all
about 'possums. As has been widely
published. the boom given to this
smoothtailed animal by the Taft ban
auet has caused such a demand for
the meat that the total determination
and extinction of the beast was serious
" threatened. and Georgians were
looking forward to the time in the
near future when there would be no
more 'possums in their State. But the
sanger has been averted through the
Investigations of Judge Park. of the AL
sany circuit. who has dug up a forgot
Ten law of 1897. one section of which
reads thus:
TT shall be unlawful for any person
to hunt or catch any opossums in this
State between the first day of March
and the first day of October of each
year. and any person violating the pro-
visions of this act, shall, on conviction
thereof, be punished as prescribed in
Section 1883, Volume 3, of the Code OF
1896"
With such a safeguard as that law,
and with the right kind of officials to
see that 1t is strictly observed, there
is no reason why the 'possum should
not remain part of Georgia's pride and
boast. The 'possums. it should not be
forgotten, understand the rules of ad-
dition and multiplication as we'll as the
most expert human scholar does, and
practice them. A bakers dozen at a
birth is not an unusual turn-o out, and
nobody ever heard of young one dy-
ing a natural death; consequently, IL
they are properly protected during the
breeding season they will multiply and
replenish the earth. so far as Georgia
fs concerned. and there need be no ap-
prehensions of 'possum famine in
that State, Congratulations to Judge
Park and to Georgia.

group of men who represent more
than 500 million dollars of invested
capital, and whose plants in normal
times employ more than one and a half
million men, has adopted a novel and
interesting campaign of publicity. They
admit that their object Is to sell more
of their products. They make and sell
nearly all the railroad equipment, Sup
plies, parts. and machinery that are
used In this country.
Their buyers are the railroads. They
found, last year. that they could not
sell, because the railroads could not
buy. Going behind this grim fact, they
| found the railroads unable to buy be-
cause they did not make enough money.
The cause of this condition they found
TO be exceedingly. complex. Some of
its constituent parts were quite beyond
their reach. They analyzed the cause
as best they could, and set to work
remedy what they could.
They studied the legislation of the
States. Here and there, they have TAX
| en- an active hand in framing public
that railroads have done much wrong,
but they argue that that Is no reason
for cutting off the railroads heads and
killing them. On this basis, they preach
and write and talk.

But there was another large and in
fiuential class in the North who saw
nothing but politics in the measure.
They knew full we'll that the vast ma
jority OF the Southern whites would
not vote the Republican ticket when all
the rights Of suffrage were restored to
them. and they knew that the votes
Of the whites of the South Joined to
those OF good men of the North, would
endanger to power Of their party and
possibly relegate them to private life;
therefore 1t was q matter of political
caution--perhaps Of political existence
TO give the ballot to the negro. They
knew II the negroes were made voters
they could be depended on to vote for
the party to which they owed their
freedom, and the votes of several hum
dred thousand negroes, all deposited In
the proper place. might be their only
hope of continuance in power. 1t was
all politics with this class.
For all these reasons. and possibly
others, the unjust Fifteenth Amend
ment was declared to have been adopt
ed and, was declared part of the Fed
eral Constitution. but there have al
ways been grave doubts as to wheth-
er either the 14th or 18th amendment
was fairly adopted. and Judge Morris
