TARIFF PUT UP TO TAFT.

Editorial Cites Power of Tetos and
 Scores Present Revision. New York. World.
 Unless there Is to be honest. down. ward revision Of the tariff, which will reduce the cost of living. why revision at Al1P
 There is a deficit to be overcome, but this can be met either by reducing ex- penses, as Senator Aldrich indicated. or by adding stamp taxes as already suR- gested. What merit is there In halt ing the return of prosperity merely for the sake of juggling with schedules if there is to be no relief for the con- of taxation?
 The Republican. Party would not have dared to go before the country last fall on the kind of tariff revision that the Aldrich bill now represents. It would not have dared to stand pat on a sys- tenn of duties that exorbitanttv taxes poverty while protecting wealth. Mir squareiy to revision that would ben eft the consumer.
 Senator Aldrich Is now seeking to tear up Mir Taft's promises and make the Republican Party a party of repu- diated obligations.
 He cannot succeed. however, unless the President acouiesces. Mir Taft Is the leader of the party and he holds the veto power over tariff hills as well as over other iegislatiop Tn any con- troversy between Mir Taft and the Republican leaders of the Senate on this question the sentiment of the country will be overwhelmingly with Mir Taft
 Better no revision at all than re- vision based on false pretenses, and still leaves the cost of living where Dingleyism has placed 1t.

THE BAR ,AssoCrATrov.

So closely interwoven Is the science and practice of law with our public and governmental affairs that 1t has become recognized that the lawyer is a semi-pubiic official For this reason. the announcement made in today.s Ad- vertiser of the annual meeting of the Aiabama Bar Association. which will be held at Blount Springs. July and 9, is of general interest.
 The profession of the law has att traeted to in all ages. and particularly in our age. some of the abiest and strongest men of the times. So infiu- entiai Is the legal profession become in America that an English traveller recently declared: America has a privileged class. but only one. It is the men who practice law and to whom others concede n special consideration"
 While this Is not wholly true. 1t is not to be doubted that the lawyers of Alabama ss well as those of other states. by reason of ability and study. exercise an influence peculiar to itselr. Nor is the influence harmful. Our people. of late years. are prone to sus- pect unjustiy and to attribute sslhsh- ness where none exists. If. for in- stance. the ideals. the thoughts and the conclusions of members of the Ala bama Bar Association were better known and better understood by the people. it would be to the advantage of Alabama as State.

Thomas Edison announces the opin- ion that In a few years 1t will no longer be necessary to ship coal long distances from the mines as Is now done. but that it will be converted into electricity at or near the mines and the power transmitted wherever wanted. There are two things about this predic- ton that tend to give foree to 1t. One Is Edison's remarkable genius and knowledge. ana the other the wonder ful development and spread Of electric power Both these are strong reasons Tor thinking that his predictions may come true.

 Comparisons are inevitable between New York and London, the two most extensively populated cities in the ent enjoys q pre-eminence in the mum Der of inhabitants which Is seriously threatened by New York and 1t Is sd fe to say that within the next couple of decades London will be iethroned from Its position of numerical supremacy.

The yearly in crease in population is trihing when compared with that of New York, and 1t is certain that the worlds greatest city will be on the shores of the Hud- son river within about twenty years. This can easily be demonstrated by a comparison of the population within a two cities.
 A fairly accurate estimate of the population within the metropolitan area can be made by taking the census re- turns of the New York-New Jersey area for 1900 and 1905 and adding the same per eentage of increase for the four following years to bring 1t up to date, and by taking the London census re- turns for 1901 and the British registrar generals estimate of the population in 1907 and adding the same rate of in crease for the two years since that date. This will show that the popula- ton within the circle covered by the New York-New Jersey map is about 6,O00,D00 and the population of Greater London within the same area about 7.-

 The people of Alaska are indiEnanfly protesting against the device of a seal dormant on 2 cake of ice which deeO- rates the new stamps issued in connae- tion with the Alaska Yukon exhibition at Seattle. It is. they say, a libel on the glorious climate" of Alaska TO be sure. their winters are tride frisld. but spring, summer. and fall peat aIhvy thing the world affords in the way of perfection. One season does not make a climate. and the indignant AlaskaI,s want to know why a scene represenf- ing crops just ieaping from the ground. birds singing in leafy trees, and that sort of thing was not chosen instead of a seal fFappe.

 One of the greatest nome going" schemes on foot Is that of Irish Tn America to the old country next year It Is proposed to get up an excursion ot 50000. and the probabilities are that 1t will be a go. though tho crowd may fall short of the figures named. With a proper arrangement of transportation and reasonable rates 1t would seem quite likely that the Irish home going would be a notable event. Of course, all the pilgrims would return to Amer lea. and fn many cases would bring homefoIks with them.

Tn. Death of Grest NsEro.

MGCOAl LSAIBtoplA-
 William H. Councill. President of the Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes at Normal. Ala. who died af- ter long illness on the 17th of this month, has been warmly praised by the newspapers of his State. The Montgomery Advertiser describes him as a "Ereat teacher" and his death as a misfortune to the negro race" For more than thirty years he labored to uplift his people and to cultivate good will between the races. Whenever his activities and utterances were brought to The Telegraph's attention they al- ways seemed to be such as to disarm criticism and win cordial approval. He seemed to care more for peace and good will between the races in his own state than to win the favor of the white friends of his people in the dist ant North. and it was no doubt for this reason that he attracted less wide attention than some other negro lead CTS among whom he had no superior.
 His career is Interesting not only be- cause of his good work but because no other pure; e.;blooded negro in. this country has achieved the same distinc- ton or accomplished so much through native ability and force of character.
