DemoraIizing Report.

Selma. June 21.-(SpeciaI)-- )--Most de- moralizing is the reports received here from throughout Central Alabama on the condition of the crop. In q few localities the report is that the crop Is good and that there are bright prospects. but the few good crop con- ditions reported are exceptions.
 The excessive rains in this section during the past few weeks have caused the grass to grow rapidly, and on ac- count of these rains the farmers have been able to work their crops to Ht- tie advantage and are much depressed over the condition of things.
 Rain has fallen in this section nearly every day this month and the fall here for the first twenty days of the month has been 2 2.83.

the other. Space is one of the COM
modities of the newspaper business,
the transportation of human beings
one OF the railroad business; now
according to The Journal these COM
modities cannot be exchanged; the
space must first be converted into
money and the money exchanged for
railway transportation. How foolish
that seems to u.s.
Now it is very popular in this day
and time for the masses to applaud
when a newspaper has anything to
say in opposition to the granting OF
passes. When "a paper does this for
the sake of the applause it is termed
playing TO the galleries" and that Is
what we believe The Journal is
doing.
We have not yet reached that state
of advancement where we can de-
termine the reason for a man with a
fair knowledge of our language and Of
the meaning of the words that COM
pose it, to say that when a railroad
company exchanges limited amount
of transportation for space In
newspaper it grants that paper free
pass.
There is not a person on earth that
is more bitterly opposed TO the free
pass than the editor of this paper,
but we cannot see for our life why
everything that can be used for
passenger transportation, except a
ticket, is called free pass.-Bonifay

BRIGHTER PROSPECTS
FOR A CONVENTION.
= ~~~~~~~~~~~~>e
Miami News-Reeord.

1t is certainly to be hoped that this
legislature will pass the resolution,
nov before it, providing for the cali
ing of a state convention to revise the
constitution.
Every session of the legislature
held since 1902 mas been confronted
with problems of state government
that could only be disposed of by an
amendment to the constitution.
Many such amendments have been
proposed by the legislature, only to
be turned down by the people.
1t is now an impossibility, judging
from the temper of the people, as
expressed in the time that has inter
vened since the date mentioned, to
successfully carry through any amend
ment, no matter how meritorious.
If such disposition continues,
there is not the slightest prospect o.
ever making modern modification OF
the organic act, and the state will
be hampered and crippled for de-
cades to come.
The only way out, it would seem,
is to hold a constitutional convention
that will prepare and present an in
strUment that will accord with the
ideas of the progressive people OF

T. Il that instrument is prepared by
our wisest and best men; if they give
tc the subject their earnest thought
anG consideration, as they are bound
to do: if they bring themselves down
to modern times and inaugurate mod
ern methods in the state government,
the constitution they present will be
accepted by tne people.
1t is, therefore, to be hoped that
broad patriotism will prevail in the
Legislature, and. that the people will
be given an opportunity to revise the
great compact by which they govern
themselves.

We dislike very much to see The

take such a narrow view of the ques-

exchange so much of its space with a
railroad company for so much of its
mileage. It's not a pass that the
country newspaper man wants, as

and narrower mind would have you
think, but ii is the privilege OF max

Milton A McRae, of the Scripps-
McRae league of newspapers, recently
delivered an address in which he
said:
There seems to be an impression
that the newspaper mas become pur-
chasable and controlled by the adver-
Users and that reporters deliberately
lie. The truth is that the newspaper
is conducted on as straight lines as
any other business. The advertiser
does not control, and any paper so
controlled would be unworthy of pub
lication. Reporters are on the aver,
~sge one of the most reliable classes
in q community, and if untFuths and
inaccuracies appear in their reports
it is because those from whom they
seek the truth tell u1trutas. A re-
poTter's position depends on his be-
ing at least as accurate as the sources
of his information. The newspapers
OF Detroit are as reliable as those Of
any city.

corded. Such carefulness may be
