Vote Direct for Governor.

The executive committee of Jefferson county will be called to meet within the next week or two to decide upon plans for the April primaries. In this primary dele gates to a county convention are to be elected. These delegates are to select dele gates to a state convention which will nom- mate a governor and perform other party duties.
 The county executive committee, when it meets, should provide thoroughly for the proper representation of the people in the county convention. It can only do this by providing that the names of candidates for governor shall be printed on the tickets and voted for directly by the people. Such a method of voting will be absolute in- struction to the county convention, and insure the carrying out of the will of the people. There may be objection to t'iis on the part of some candi9afes, but the coun- ty executive ozsimittee should insist upon it Il means justice and fairness to all candidates and particularly justice to the people themselves.

TYPHOID IN rWENTY-rwO CITIES.

From the New York World.
 The Medical Record tabulating the ty- phoid fever record for the twentytwo largest American cities, finds that in Brook lyn only 19 persons to 10OO00 of population die of this disease annually. In Manhattan and the Bronx the deaths are 21 to the 1OO.- 0OO
 These aIe the very lowest figures in the list the highest being those from Chicago, 65; Louisville, 72; Washington, 73; Denver, IT, and Pittsburg, S2.
 Typhoid is a preventalble disease. Its sources of propa gation-water and milk are completely within the control of nnuni- cipal authorities. Such few deaths from typhoid as do occur in New York can be in large part accounted for by the summer va- cations. Contaminated country wells plant the germs that produce the disease in an exceedingly small proportion of New York 8 population. In New York itself a pure water supply and alert inspection have eliminated this disease from the category of maladies to be feared.
 Wherever there is higher death-rate than ours from this cause it means mal- administration, a neglect to secure pure water and pure milk

Mayor nrar.en,s Recommendations. {.

Mayor Drennen's annual message to the board of aldermen, read last night, is a strong and thoroughly businesslike docu- ment. He strongly advocates that which the Age-Herald has consistently demanded for several years past-municipal owner ship of the water supply of Birmingham and its lighting plants. Every well regu- lated city in America owns its water works and many of the best regulated cities own their lighting plants.
 The Age-Herald believes now, as it has always believed, that the city can operate water works as cheaply as any private cor poration. It further believes that an agreement can be reached between the owners of the present water works sys- tenn and the city by which the purchase of the water system can be made. The peo- ple would be better satisfied if such neces- sities of life as water and public lighting were in their own hands. At this point, the Age-Herald believes that municipal ownership should stop. It does not be- lleN6 III HlunlOlpdl OWheISulp oI lHC iuANi- ies of life, such as street railway systems, telephone or telegraph lines. When you ex- tend municipal ownership to this extent you build up a powerful political machine, by virtue of the numberless employees 1t takes to operate such. But when it comes to water and lights, the Age-Herald thor oughly endorses Mayor Drennen's ideas on these subjects.
 Mayor Drennen makes number of other good recommendations which should be put in force at the earliest practicable mo- ment such as increasing the fire depart ment and police force. These are absolute necessities for the protection of the prop erty of the citizens of Birmingham.

Better Mall Facilities Wanted

Florence, February 7.-(Special)-A peti- ton containing the names of 250 leading citizens and business men of Florence has been forwarded to the postoffice department at Washington asking for the inauguration of regular mail schedule on the Northern Alabama railway trains which now start from this city instead of Sheffield. This change of terminus was made several months ago. but the mail clerk has only come to Sheffield on the evening train, con- sequently the business people have been compelled to wait for newspapers and mail until the following morning. the mail being brought over on the Southern trains The train leaving here at 9 o'clock dn the morn ing for Birmingham has not been carrying mail from Florence, but it is believed all that will be necessary is to call the atten- tion of the department to the injustice.
