the date of his appearance to the week
of Jan. 2. which was agreed upon. The
bill stated that Johnson entered into
another contract with certain parties
for an extended period including the
week of Jan 2 and refused to abide by

For More Taxes,

Gadsden Evening Journal.
 A constitutional amendment allow ing heavier taxation Is the first step necessary to municipal progress in Alabama. Gadsden with a one per cent tax limit can never raise the revenue iy essential to the welfare of the com munity. Providence is not going to make any provision for us We must pay for what want. and in order to pay we must first have the money or good way to get 1t. A municipal tax of two per cent Is no hardship and its payment would work wonders for the good of the city. Cities in the North and West consider three per cent no It's imposition. We are hopelessly out classed so long as we persist in the policy of trying to finance the city's affairs bv borrowing and bonding to meet floating Indebtedness incurred for current expenses. No man can sue cessfully run his own business that way nor can any administration run the city's business successfully on that plan. Nor is retrsnchnent the proper idea. We haven't anything now and certainly do not want to get along with less. What we need Is more money and the only way to get 1t Is through taxation. The license schedules should be entirely abolished and all revenues raised hv adequate taxation of accum- ulated wealth. This Is the right way and the sooner we get on this basis the prosperity that should be ours by vir- tue Of our resources. environment and activities. We realize that advocating more taxes Is not a popular move but 1t Is the right move in the best inter- ests of the community.

when living. aad that is what has been done by the experts in this case. Talk ing the skull as a starting point they have give us a picture of the crea- ture just as he appeared while living; so they say. at least. and far be 1t from us to fly in the face of science.
 We must say that if the likeness is a correct one this fellow was not of the sort that one would care to meet in a lonely place at night. In fact the gem eral appearance of the thing gives more the impression of huge ape than of a human being. The face and form are beastly. but he Is shown as walking upright. carrying a big stick. and the expression on his face indicates that somebody or something will do well to keep out of his way. Taken altogether, we are rather glad that men of his type are not living at pres ent. If the pictures and descriptions do him justice we are better of with out him, for we should imagine him to have been a worse proposition than a gorilla. A living specimen would be a drawing card in a modern circus.

"Leslies Weekly" remarks The St' Louis Post-Dispatch. "advises the Re- publicans of Indiana to keep former Vice President Fairbanks in the par ty service as there is danger of the Democrats gaining control of the State. During the time that Fairbanks has been serving as Vice President the Re- publican majority dropped from s%.ooo to 1000 on the national ticket and the Democrats elected the Governor. Un- der the circumstances the Democrats of Indiana can welcome Fairbanks as an ally as long as he will remain Republican"
 If the mere absence of Mir. Fair hanks from Indiana promises to turn that State over to the Democrats we hope President Taft will send the late Vice President on a foreign mission for at least four years. That the State is not hopelessly Republican was made evident by last years elections, but we guess there are more patent reasons for the result than the absence of one man.

THEY HAVE FOUND HIM.

The scientists and diggers after hid portant find in France, being nothing less than the skull of a human being who, they say, lived not less than four hundred thousand years ago, and prob ably much farther back than that What Is more to the point, they are printing pictures of him in the papers.
 Of course there are no written or printed records to show when this ug- Iy human walked the earth. Writing at that date was in very primitive state, we should say. even if 1t existed at all. We doubt If one of these fel- lows could have drawn pot-hooks on paper. AS for printing. of course there was none of that, unless history Is badly at fault. No. there is nothing which the layman would look on as ev- idence of the date of this beings ex- istence on earth. but those who make a business of studying and explaining such matters profess to be able to To- cate the time within A few thousands of years-or a few hundred thousand. at least A matter of hundreds of thousands of years. doesn't set the archaeologist back very much
 But no doubt the reader will wonder how picture of the creature was obtained. Photography and portrait painting were not known then. We doubt if there was even a cartoonist plying his vocation. and of course the men who dug up these remains found no pictures of the man. and we sup pose the picture galleries are equally lacking.

TUESDAY, MARCH le, 1909.
FOR MORE CORN.

The present is the time for the farm CT to prove his faith In the corn grow ing propaganda. which has been SO widely and so ably advanted In Ala bama. In a short while the corn plant ing season will be over. The Alabama farmer is now pitching his crop and apportioning his acres to corn and to cotton.
 There never was in the history of Alabama such a campaign for corn growing. It has reached every nook and corner of the State. The press of Alabama has generously given it's columns to the furtherance of this in- dustrial campaign. Men have gone on the stump in its advocacy and have spoken in every portion of the State on the wisdom of growing corn more widely and more intelligentiy. We are to see in a short while how effective that campaign has been.
 It cannot be denied that Alabama would this spring be millions of dollars better off if there had been more corn and less cotton grown last year. It may not be safely estimated how many Alabama farmers are now buying corn and feed stuff for their stock, but un- doubtedly the number Is large. The trend on thousands of Alabama farms has heen for more than a quarter of 8 century, to increase the cotton crop, erroneously supposed to be the only money crop, and decrease the corn crop. Especially true has this been of the Black Belt, where so much of the farming has been in the hands of the negro. Undoubtedly the advancing sys- tenn, which demands money crop, has had an influence on the increase of the cotton crop and the decrease of the corn crop.
 In the condition which has existed for several years a failure of the cot ton crop spelt financial distress for the farmer and a low market for cot ton meant acute financial depression on the farm. It was to be expected that the farmers as class would wake up to the folly of an "all cotton" sys- tenn. It would appear that the awak- ening has come this spring.
 If it has, in truth. then winter and spring of next year will be the most substantial and the most independent that Alabama farmers have known.

Those that have witnessed the cure pronounce It most marvellous, as MT. Coker was so weak he could scarcely walk.
 The most extraordinary feature of the cure .s that there is no pain. The Doctors method of treatment! which was discovered by him a few years ago. is an oil which will absorb the indurated parts of cancer and heal the alteration.

The business of reforming people still goes bravely on. Recently in the Illinois Legislature a bill was intro duced requiring every man who Rp- plies for marriage license to make oath that he has not been drunk more than once within the past year. "The purpose of the bill" says The Angus Aka Chronicle, seems to be to insure xKe woman who marries a drinking man in getting a liar in the bargain. That will be the natural result. If a young man wants a wife real bad will it be a matter of great surprise If he lies or commits perjury to get her? Will there never be an end of fool legislation?
