idea has been demonstrated as an ex-

Retail Buyers Cannot Buy Direct

A large retail grocer in Newark, N.

Commerce protesting against the meth

Association of the United States. The
grocer in question is Edward T. Ward

Mr.. Ward objects to this provision
in the constitution of the wholesale
grocers;
To establish harmonious relations be-
tween the manufacturer jobber and re-

Mr.. Ward thinks the retailer should

There I've .whiled many happy hours
away,
A-sitting and a-singing by the little cot

Where lived my darling Nelly Gray.
(Chorus)-
Oh! my poor Nelly Gray, they have taken

And I'll never see my darling any more;
I'm sitting by the river and I'm weeping
all the day,
For you've gone from the old Kentucky

My canoe is under water and my banjo
Is unstrung,

While stay on the old Kentucky shore.

Amendment Number Sixteen

The income tax constitutional sub
mission proposition went through the
Senate unanimously, and it will go
through the House in like manner.
Then will come the tug of war to Sc
cure its ratification by "a states.
Twelve states are known to be gov
erned, even in this enlightened and
progressive year, by political bosses
who receive orders-and subscriptions
from financial magnates These
twelve states are Connecticut, Della
ware, Vermont, Maryland, New Hamp-
shire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
Rhode, Island, Utah, Idaho and West
Virginia The Senate refused to con-
oder the convention plan of ratifca-
tfpn which the constitution recognizes
and the ratification problem must.
therefore, be threshed out in the state
legislatures.
Georgia and Alabama should lead
the way. The Georgia legislature is in
session and the Alabama legislature
soon win be. No other Legislature will

when the legislatures of West Vir-
ginia, Virginia, Rhode Island, New
York and Massachusetts meet. All Of
these November legislatures are mort
gagged by the wiseacres to the capital
istie or high protection influences ex-
cept. of course, Virginia. Nearly all
of the remaining legislatures meet in
1910, and the question will no doubt
be decided in that year In point of
fact, it will be decided in a practical
sense in November of the present year.
How far the republicans dare go in
opposition to the Taft administration
and the general republican programme
will be fully developed in the legisla-
lures that meet next November. If
twelve states refuse to ratify the Taft
Aldrich amendment the responsibility
will rest upon the republican party,

Ypll0W Fever In CUba

The Medical Record may or may not
be correct in its statements concerning
the prevalence of yellow fever in Cuba.
Possibly the Medical Record, usually
trustworthy, has been misled-that
what its informants consider yellow
fever is malignant jaundice or some
severe form. of malaria.
Let that be as it may, it is time to
increase the precautions on the gulf
coast against any possible importation
of the disease from anywhere. The
Cuban government is not the best in
the world. There is little or no money
on hand for fighting an outbreak of
the dread fever, and the precautions
along our gulf coast should therefore
be doubled
Three months at least remain in
which the appearance of yellow fever
in this section would be exceedingly
damaging, and the state that permits
it would be severely condemned, and
the authorities in that state should be
held to strict accountability. The keep
ing out of yellow fever from this time
on until October is the chief task be.

DIFFERENCE IN CUSTOMS.

From the Baltimore American.
IAN Englishman looks on 1t as deadly
breanch of etiquette to begin conversation
with a stranger, and II one he does not
know presumes to start to talking to
him, he plainly indicates that a liberty
has been taken, either by turning his
back or making no reply" said Mr.. w.
M. Ashburton of London at the Belve-
dere.
II used to entertain this same notion
before much travel in all parts Of the
world caused me to lay aside my native
reticence and reserve. Now I like the
German way better. In that country II
one goes into private room where he
is unknown to the assembled company,
he goes brislxly about among those pres.
ent offering his hand and pronouncing his
name to everybody. This custom of self
introduction prevails universally through
out the Kaiser's dominions; 1t IL good for
1t makes for friendliness and the inter-
change OF IDEAS In hotels, restaurants or
railway hotels, steamboats,, or wherever
they may be drawn together, Germans
will not remain strangers to each othere
On the contrary In England men would
never know each other unless introduced
by a third person. In that country 1t is q
very serious thing to effect introductions,
which Is a symptom of the racial con-
servatism A Briton hesitate to effect in
Productions. unless between people he Il
quite sure are OF something like an equal
status, and for whom mutual acquaint-
ance would be agreeable"

Officers Without Fees

G. Gordon Ashley, chief deputy OF
the United States marshars office in
this city, has spent thirteen years IN
the service of the government, eight
of them under the fee system and hve
under salaries, and his experience Is
that the best that has been laid before
the public. He says "the theory that
deputies will not do their duty on sal
aries has been demonstrated TO be
erroneous. Court papers are served as
regularly as ever, and there is never
any delay on account of carelessness,
in a court where the civil docket is
large due to the removal of many cor
poration cases from state courts.
Five years ago the government
abolished the fee system OF paying
officials in the Northern Alabama dis
trict and put them on a salary, with
an allowance for sustenance while
away from home.
while at that time there were is
deputies and arrests of trivial nature
were everyday occurrences, today
there are only five deputies, who do
all the court service and are reasona-
bly, careful in the detection OF crime.
They go where they are sent, and are
conscientious in running down stills
and violators, but the five men are
kept too busy to prey upon the inno-
cent, while they have no spur nor in
clination to do SO.
"Of course the fees are collected as
usual; and are turned over to the gov
eminent. This feature can never be
abolished, as 1t is necessary for the
conduct of the court but do not be-
lieve Alabama will ever go back to the
fee system again in her federal courts,
and hope to see the time when the
practice will be entirely eliminated
from state courts as we'll"

THE PlLLoRY.

G. K Chesterton in London News
Perhaps one of the few really demo-
cratic institutions ever created was the
pillory. l do not say that it was a hui
name institution, though it was certainly
more humane than our system of silent
Imprisonment. But being humane has
nothing to do with being democratic. You
may have humane and inhumane democ-
racies, just as you may have humane and
inhumane despots.
The point is that the pillory was real
appeal to the people. If 1t was cruel, 1t
was because the people were cruel. or
perhaps justly indignant. The people
threw dead cats (the less humanitarian. I
believe threw live CATS, but they could
throw bouquets and crowns of laurel If
they liked. Sometimes they did. The
argument about the old public punish
ments cuts both ways The publicity was
an additional risk for the government as
well as an additional risk for the pris-
oner, and this is specially true of the
executions for treason. 1t was no small
thing that 10000 men might possibly treat
as a martyr a man whom the King was
treating as a murderer; that the prince
had to concede to every obscure ruff
fan exactly what that ruffian probably
wanted most-fame.

AldriCh and Payne TO Be Arbltrated

Either this week or early next week
the Aldrich tariff will be sent to the
House and thence to a conference COM
mittee, of which Mr.. Underwood will
no doubt be a member. We can al
ready gain an inkling of what Is COM
ing as final result.
President Taft has said that bill
which he would sign would contain the
reductions in both the Payne and Aid
rich bills, and in addition the scaling
of all advances to the level of the
Dingley rates. The House rates pre-
sent number of decreases on articles
of common usage. The Senate adopt
ed lower rates than the House on wood
pulp and one kind Of gloves only. The
House exceeded Dingley rates on
gloves and stockings only.
If President Taft continues to insist
that the lowest duty levied by either
house shall be accepted in conference
as a part of the new tariff law, 33 COM
modities will be taxed as follows, cred

NEGOTIATING THE NEGRITOS.

II
In order to vaccinate successfully the
Negritos who dwell in the mountains
of Bataan and Zambales, the services of
two Negrito chiefs have been secured
and the work Of vaccination Is being
pushed along as rapidly as possible.
Heretofore 1t has been difficult to
round up all the Negritos for the vac
cinator, and the novel scheme of plac-
ing the chiefs in charge was finally
adopted. They Immediately consented
to undertake the work, are delighted
with the service and are not allowing
any members of the tribe to escape
them. In a number of instances It has
been known that Negritos have spread
the disease among the residents of the
lowlands, and the present scheme prom
ises to put a complete stop to this.
The chiefs are accompanied by an
experienced vaccinator to see that
everything is properly done. but they
themselves are doing the work. They
make regular reports. too, and when
they run out of subjects make an In
spection of those vaocinated, and all
upon whom the vaccination has not
properly taken are immediately sub
jected to another treatment with the
vaccine.

A REMARKABLE UTTERANCE.
the Mobile Register

From the Mobile Register.
The declaration of the Rev. Brooks
Lawrence, which the Register printed yes
terday. shows to what an extent man
may go who fixes upon one thing as an
essential policy of government and blinds
his mind to the significance of all else.
He is contemptuous Of the supreme
court. whose offense is that 1t has per-
formed its sworn duty according to its
lights; he threatens to GUST the present
membership of that court as punishment
for not giving judgment according to his
fancy. and he declares that If he fails
thereby to command the decision he
wants, he will have the constitution of
the state changed SO that the decision
will required of a court forced to sub
serviency-thus, even. the fundamental
guarantees are to be altered or abolished,
to serve this mans purpose!
The assurance of Mr.. Lawrence Is i'm
mense, but it may not be without war
rant. Possibly Alabamians will applaud
this agents assault upon their supreme
tribunal and his boastfulness In attempt
ing to run the state, without being as yet
authorized to do so by any recognized
representative organization in this state.
but If so, they have departed from the
sturdy individualism and independence of
their fathers. Democracy will do we'll to
free itself from this threatened domina-

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Unique ADVERTISING,

The Half Million club of Jackson
vile, Fla, is sending out some unique lit
erature," said member of the Birming-
ham Chamber of Commerce. 1T is unique
in that instead of being a big boost it
calls glaring attention to the fact that
the death rate from typhoid fever in the
city is startlingly high. For instance it
shows that in 1907 there were los deaths
from this cause and IS from malarial
fever. 1t cites records of other cities TO
show that Jaeksonville's mortality Is
among the highest in the country for
cities of its size.
1t is noteworthy fact that while
records of many other southern cities are
shown for comparison Birmingham is
shown in none of the table, which must
mean th"t the figures here were too small
to be on ny significance.
1T is Unusual for a city to be calling
attention to its defects, but this ques-
tion the club asks In the circular is pretty
hard to answer: Why cart your FAM
lilies to the cemetery and say. hush, hush,
IL you tell It you will hurt the town?
Better demand of the public officials that
they correct the conditions
