Alabama Women and
 MOntevaIIo School Board

The Montgomery Advertiser says:
 A very interesting and significant resolu- tion was passed by the board of trustees of the Montevallo Industrial School for o.rls at the meeting held in the governors office Monday. committee was ap- pointed to present a bill to the legislature which would permit the board to be en- larged by the addition of three women to serve on the board of visitors. This was certainly a graceful and grateful recogni- tion of the vital interest felt by Alabama women in this great gift the state, like wise and beneficent mother, has offered her aspiring daughters. Apropos Of this generos compliment to Alabama woman hood, an interview was sought with Mrs. George B. Eager, who, having served as president of the State Federation, knows the personnel of the clubs as thoroughly perhaps as any woman in the state, to as- certain who, in her opinion, should be chosen for this high honor. T do not know who should be the second or third nominee, but 1 do know who should be the first, if any club women are chosen," said Mrs. Eager, with great conviction. "The woman who has thrown her whole heart into work for that school personally among the clubs, who by definite resolutions presented to the Federation in Anniston in 1897 committed the body to the first altruistic work-that of building upa library for the Montevallo school-who by her wise and feasible plans presented at Selma in 1898, secured the CO., operation of a number of clubs in esta blish- ing scholarships for poor and ambitious girls, mean Mrs. James l..

A Cycle of Crimes.

The subsistence of war news has pro-
jected into prominence an unusually
large bunch of sensational crimes
which. in some degree at least, must be
attributed to wars inevitable disar-
rangement of moral checks. Twice
within twenty-four hours New York
reports the murder by a jealous hus-
band of his wife, followed by the mur-
derer's suicide; and the Corbett trag-
edy at San Francisco completes the
cycle. Again, in the Dunning case at
Dover we have a peculiar use of poison
by which the homicidal instinct is
gratihed across continents span. In
these and several parallel crimes of
which the papers Just now are extra
ordinarily full, we clearly perceive the
cheapened view of the sanctity of
human life which the legalized blood
shed of war imparts to the ignorant
and the vicious and which is one of
wars most regrettable concomitants.
The Emeline Reynolds tragedy in
New York probably is not in any way
attributable to the passions of war, but
there are lessons in 1t none the less
worthy OF consideration. This young
woman. by all accounts gifted with
many graces of mind and person, leaves
a comfortable rural home and dotlng
parents to seek the destinations of city
life: sells her womanhood for jewels
and finery, and in one of the orgies Of
her downward career is not only robbed
or the tawdry price of her dishonor but
Is killed in the bargain. How often
does this logical experience repeat IL
self in the annals Of the criminal
courts, yet how small is its influence
in enforcing the lesson that the wages
OF sin is death. Meanwhile society re-
ceives with welcoming smile the Lo-
tharios who make the pursuit of femin-
inc virtue their continual avocation
and only is it shocked when some poor
victim, more unfortunate than the rest
gets caught with her shame in the
focus of publicity.
To what TO ascribe the singular
double suicide chronicled in Philadel-
phia. in which two girls, opposed In

THE WARS BEST GIFT.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
We have taken Cuba; we hold Porto
Rico; the Philippines are within our
grasp. We have learned that we have
the best sailors in the world, and that
our volunteer soldiers fight like veterans.
We find that ship for ship our navy cam
not be equaled, end that our gunners
But, better far than this, the war has
given us a real union-true unques-
toned and indestructible. 1t exists today
as 1t never has before in our history. not
merely as a cold and calculated compact
between states jealous of each other, not
as the result of policy or of fear or of
force, but at last as 1t was intended in the
beginning by the fathers. 1t exists no
longer merely in the mind, but in the
heart of each American. Mckinley has
had the glory of seeing the fruition and
completion of Lincoln's hopes and aims.
%
1t is almost impossible to conceive how
strong and satisfying to American hearts
the love of the Union has grown; but the
evidences appear on every hand. The
Southland has supplied it's Hobsons, the
North its Deweys; and who of us all is
less proud of the one than of the other?
Pickett's men as the most natural ex-
preston of their feeling frightened the
graves OF our veterans with the country S
flag! Nor have sectional lines alone been
obliterated. Differences of religious con-
viction have proved equally impotent to
divide us. What Catholic wavered in his
loyalty because Spain was wholly Cath
Ollie. or what Protestant failed to show his
Indignation when Protestant Germany
threatened to meddle?
o
From whatever point we look the coun-
try's solidarity is the great, the striking
fact.
