ALABAMA SOLDIERS EXEMPT
FROM POLL TAX.

The Advertiser was misled as to
the status of the soldiers and the
payment Of poll tax. The following
letter In brief form states the case:
Editor The Advertiser:
The purpose of my last communica-
4 ton was merely to call attention to
y the fact that Section 1874 of the Con-
stftution of 1901 was self-executing,
poll tax were permanently fixed by
the Constitution. irrespective of any
future legislation. However, the Code
of 1907. Section sS4. re-enacted the
tive members of the Alabama Nation
al Guard; and SO, likewise. subdivision
of Section 2o61 of the present Code

statute now in existence exempting
township trustees) and their right OF
dion is4 Of the Constitution. The Code
Of 1907 was again re-enacted as a
whole at the last extraordinary ses-
: sish, sasSect to certain specific excep-
sions.
The members OF the Alabama mfii-
cary can. as heretofore. vote without
payment of poll tax. If any of them
have failed to register they ought to
discharge that great duty before cleo
tion day. They win be given all OPP
portunity to do so.
We trust that IL any of our contempt
raries have copied articles on this sub
ject from The Advertiser that they
will give prompt publicity to this one.

present year. Whether II IL the near
approach of Mars, or some influence
that Halley's comet exerts on the
minds Of alleged statesmen. or what
the cause may be, It is fact that
some kind OF craze has taken posses
sion of legislative bodies throughout
the country. and it is plain that Con-
gress itself has not escaped.
with a large majority Of the people
of the country this new bank reguia-
ton will have no effect, for they rare
ly have need Of checks, either large or
small, but 1t Is easy to see how 1t
may prove inconvenient to the busi-
ness men Of the country. But wheth-
er the trouble 1t may cause shall turn
out to be real or only imaginary. one
cannot help feeling that Congress was
engaged in very small business
when 1t enacted such a law.
But as we have said, this law is
only a specimen of the freak legisia-
ton of recent days, though 1t was
hardly to be expected that Congress
would have gotten down to picayune
work as It did when 1t passed the law.
In a number of the States there have
been laws passed during the present
year that cannot be explained or ac-
counted for on any other hypothesis
than that calm reason and judgment
were swept away and their places
usurped by some kind of hysteria that
for the time being drove sanity away
from mems minds. Future legislation
may sweep all this crank legislation
from our statute books, but not until
much harm has been done. May we not
hope that there will be real Age OF
Reason In the law-making bodies OF
the country in the near future?

THE VOTE OF ALABAMA.

The amount of poll tax paid for the
year due and prior to February l. lsos'
indicates that about 10000 of those
subject to that tax qualified them
selves as voters. In addition all the
members of the State military can
vote without payment of poll tax
This would still leave nearly as many
more who have placed themselves In
such position that they cannot vote
In the coming election. A conserva-
tive estimate of voters under forty
FIVE iyears of age is 10000.
In addition to those liable to poll
tax. however, there are fully 100000
white voters over the poll tax age and
IL they have registered. as becomes
all good citizens. they can vote. This
therefore, would give a qualified vot-
ing list of $4,000 white men for the
coming election. leaving $4,000 who
did not pay their poll tax unable to
discharge the great duty and privilege
of casting ballot.
This amendment proposition is one
that ought to bring every man to the
polls. If adopted. there is no telling to
what further excuses Legislatures will
go and certainly the measures restrict-
ing the liberty of the citizen already
adopted give ample warning. of what
to expect in the future. Vote down
the amendment and prevent stin fur

To those who say we must cinch this

In 1866 slavery was dead, eterna1ly
dead. Dead as the open saloon In Ala

substance, he preferred black patriots
to white traitors ana was going to nix
1t so that white traitors should never
have the power to impose again on
black patriots
Led by Stephens and backed by the
preachers of the North the slavery
amendments were placed in the United
states Constitution.
In consequence we OF the South had
| Federal bayonets at the polls, we had
| force bills. we had civil right bills. we
had reconstruction, and only (mark
| this) the United States Supreme Court
saved the South from being another

we have denied men a right OF appeal

We have allowed the search of homes
| in whiskey cases. We have extended
| the theory OF nuisance to whiskey cases
! and the teachings of men like unto
| Thomas Jefferson and Jefferson Davis
have been abandoned. Have we not
gone far enough? God grant that the
preachers OF the South do not bring
upon us another reconstruction epoch.

No one asked for a division Of time
the kind, so the next Monday we took
to ourselves and arranged to have an
anti-amndment speech and advertised
that we would have the Hon. Jesse
Stalitngs here. As soon as the other
side found 1t out they began to ask
for a division Of time, which we de-
clined to grant. Then they said I'VE

Kyle B. Price here again. They went
to work and made plot and telephon-
ed all over town. to have the women
court house where the speaking was
to be. so as to keep as many OF the
men voters from hearing the speech as
p ppssnbsr. They II had the Methodist
pit Sunday morning and make a spe-
cial plea for the women to come out
to the speaking Monday In this way
secured the opera house. sent the word
around among our own friends and had
our speaking there. Their crowd Of
women gathered at the court house
found that there was no speaking
there.
It so happened that Mr.. stallings did
not come on account of the illness of

hne speech. occupying at least two and
a half hours time. and which precluded
every possibility Of the other side maxi

satisfaction at Mr.. Letcher's speech,
and there was a great deal of enthu-

like they would tear the house down.
There is no doubt but that he made
many converts to the nti-amendment
side. heard one man say that at

up until he heard that speech that he
would vote for the amendme nt but now
he would vote against It,"

You the spirit OF our friends on the
