CHILDREN, DOGS AND STREET
 CARS,

A recent article in The St. Louis Post Dispatch calls attention to the relative value of dogs and children in the eyes of the law in connection with street car management. In one in stance a dog was run over, the acci- dent being thus described:
 The dog, a Great Dane. was stand ng near the track and conducting himself with becoming dignity. The motorman took it for granted that the animal Ih- stinct would keep him out of danger. In stinct. however. was no better than req con and the dog was killed.
 The owner of the animal sued for damages, and the court ruled that the motorman had no right 10 rely upon the quickress of the dog in getting out of danger and that 1t was the mans duty to warn the dog or even to stop | cident."
 So much for the law and the canine.
 It happens that there has been d re cent deliverlhce in anothoG case, thus
 stated by The Dispatch; In the leading Illinois case invo. ving an ! accident to a child, the court ruied that | "a grlpman or motOrman Is not Obl ged | to siacken his usual speed on seeing chil- | dren standing in the street no far from 1 the track. and that if he stoTs his GIT as soon as possible atte- hG sees them | start to run across the track, he does his | full duty.
 Do these decisions settle the rela- tive value of dogs and children in the | eyes of the law? Or. rather. Is it the
 dictum of our system of jurispru-
 dence that the driver or manager of a

Getting Rid of vagrants.

PiCken5 County News.
 The authorities of some of the cities of the State are making crusades against vagrants, This is movement that would work to advantage in all cities and towns. It would rid the county of many criminals. It is an ad- mitted fact that the d7ckets of our courts are filled principally with idlers and loafers who avoid the performance of honest toll and labor, and not the working classes of our country. There is a remedy for such people. The law should be enforced So that this class of people, regardless of race or color. should be made to work or hunt other quarters. il is from thi sclass of va grants who infest our towns and cities that murderers, rapists and thieves come and ruin the moral law of the country. Men should be put to work and boys made to stay off the streets. Those who permit their children to pack sand on the streets are educat- ing and raising them up for loafers and young criminals--material that will be of no addition to any community.

ONE REMEDY FOR THE PASS
 EVIL.

A member of the Convention asked The Advertiser yesterday why 1t did not suggest some method of making the anti-pass section of the present Constitution effective.
 That is the prerogative of some of the many able Constitutional lawyers in the Convention. Doubtless 1t is an easy matter to remedy the trouble. Tn this connection it may be we'll for the Convention to consider carefully an ordinance on this subject already be- fore it. It was introduced early in the session by Mr. Brooks of Mobile, and Is as follows:
 No public officer or person elected or appointed to a pubic office under the laws ot this State. shall directly or in- directly ask. demand. accept, receive or consent to receive for his own use or other. any free pass. free transportation. franking privilege or discrimination in passenger. telegraph or telephone rates, from any person or corporation, or make Use of the same himself or in conjunction with another. A person who violates any provision of th's section. shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanor. and shall forfeit his office at the suit of the Attorney Gen
 
 agent thereof, who shall offer, or prom ise to a public office, or person elected or appointed to a public office, any such free pass, free transportation franking priyi- iege or discrimination. shah also be deemed guilty of misdemeanor ana Is iiab ble to punishment except as herein pro- vided. No person, or officer, or agent of a corporation giving any such free pass. discrimination hereby prohibited, shall be privileged from testifying in relation thereto, and he shall not be liable to CIVIL or criminal prosecution therefor, 1T ne shall testify to the giving of the same. It is understood that this is a copy of the New York provision. and it Is designed to be self-operating. It Is un- derstood to be wonderfully effective in New York. Certainly, 1t Is sweeping enough. The only objection to 1t, pos sibly, is that it Is too sweeping. There are certain officers who, probably ought to use passes, though they are very few However, 1t might he best for the State to provide for paying for their railroad tickets, and thus to have no exceptions. There has been no report whatever of any sort so far from the Committee on Corporations, to which the forego- ing ordinance was referred. In due time. doubtless. that able Committee will bring forward something effective on this line. There are several gentle | men on the Committee who are espec- ially familiar with the extent Of the pass evil in Alabama, and thev have abundant reason to be active III the matter.
 We have no doubt that the bulk of the higher railroad officials will be de- lighted to see Alabama take q forward step in this reform. Railroads are great sufferers from official hold-ups in many cases. and have moved fer re- lief in many States. They will be greatly relieved by vigorous legislation here. Those corporations pay n many
 ways more than their share Of taxa ton, and there is no just reason why they should be subjected 10 this form l of indirect taxation.

public conveyance must exercise more
 care and diligence to avoid injuring a dog than he does in the case of a child? According to the two Judicial opinions here given. when the motor
 man sees a child in dangerous proSim- ity to the track. he Is only undsr ob- ligation not to increase his speed, and
 if the child actually gets on the track, he should stop his car "as soon as pos sible." That he only stops 1t alter he has killed the child may he Ilisfor-
 tune. but not a fault.
 In case of a dog it is 6ifferen-. If the animal insists on playing the bull
 and refuses to vacate The right of way,
 the motorman must stop his car and get
 out and argue the case with Caliia Ma | jor. Suppose the latter still refuses 10
 budge-what then? If he is "a gre at Dane." as in the case mentioned, the
 motorman must carr for the police or
 ring up headquarters for further in-
 struction and assistance. If everything else failed. he would probably have to get out an injunction against the dog, or bring suit against the owner for ob-
 structing public traffic. Possibly he
 might ring in the interstate commerce
 law. if the animal happened to be a
 foreigner. There must be relief some-
 where when a dog insists on stopping street car.
 Seriously. is 1t not fair deduction from these two decisions that a dog is of more value than a child iE the eyes of the law? Certainly the courts hold
 in these cases that a notorman is ex- pected to use more care and diligence
 to avoid injuring-a a brute than to avoid
 killing or injuring a child. The infer ence is that a human being, even though an infant, is endowed with
 reason and must look out for itself,
 while the dog. must be protected from
 harm. This may be law, but if it Is
 we shall be inclined to think, as old
 Charles Macklin expressed 1t: "The law
 is a sort of hocus pocus science, that sometimes smiles in yer face whGe it
 picks yer pockets

REMARKABLE FORESIGHT.

It will be recalled by readers Of The Advertiser that early in the session of the Convention. when it was decided to have a stenographic report, there was strong opposition to it. One of the leaders in that opposition was the Hon Tom Long of Walker County. Tn the light of his course in the last few days, 1t will be interesting to recall some of his reasons for objecting to :se em- ploymsnt of an official stenoyra pher We quote some of his words taken from the official record:
 q do not believe we should have rec
 q can see no good reason why we should have reports of everything that Is said in this Convention
 T do not think we should have p,lit- teal record there in black and white that some of the delegates will have to be dodging for twenty years to come"
 The public at the time may not have understood fully MT. Longs atttr de in this matter. but a flood of light seems to have been let in upon his zeal in the last few days. Could he have realized in advance how many things he was liable to say that would not read well in print? Did he have a foreboding of the way the Convention was going to disregard his views and table his res olutions? Could he have foreseen that he was going to make a record in black and white that would not be calculated to make his constit- uents regard him as a Solomon here after? Is it not likely that he had a sort of a presentment of some necessi- ty for "dodging for twenty years to come2"
 No man has had greater foresight from his individual standpoint than Mir. Long. The member of a Consti- tutional Convention who leads a for lorri fight on the freedom of the press at this late day in the American Re- public, was wise in opposing a record of everything that is said" The prob- abilities are that it will require a great deal of lodging to get around it in the future.

Referring to the fact that prohibition in Maine has proven a failure, after fifty years of trial, The Clayton Rec ord says:
 This seems a fair trial for any law fifty years. And If it proves a failure after that length of time and with pub lie sentiment to back 1t, 1t does seem that legal prohibition Is a dead failure.
 But that is just the trouble-public sentiment did not back it. otherwise it would have succeeded. The experience of Maine. as of other States, shows conclusively that absolute legal prohi- bition cannot be enforced until human nature and human tastes and inclina- tios are changed. All laws intended to prevent men from making, selling, buying and drinking alcoholic bever- ages will be failure in the present stage of humanity.

THE UNIVERSITY AND THE
 CoNSTITUTION.

Elsewhere is printed a communica- ton on the subject of the State Uni versity by Rev. pr. A. J. Dickinson of Selma. It discusses the opportunity of the Constitutional Convention to take hold and make the University the lead ing educational institution in the South. It is an excellent article. and its suggestions are admirable. save in one respect. We do not approve his idea of having the Trustees elected by the people, and made Party matter. Th9t would not attain his desired end of taking the institution out of poli- tics. It would, in our opinion. be go- ing from bad to worse. The mass of people through representatives in State Conventions would not be so likely to nominate capable, devoted trustees as are Governors to appoint them as at present.
 It seems to us that the better plan is to make the Board f-perpetuating. Let 1t fill it's own vacancies. The ma tority of members of the Board at any right man for a vacancy than would any Governor. no matter how excellent, or any other political power. The Boards of leading institutions all over the country are constituted that way. Experience elsewhere has proved it the most effective plan.
 We hope Dr. Dickinson's other sug- gestions will be needed by the Conven- tion. The University has great possi- Utilities before it. but it needs to be got | ten out of its present rut, started in a new direction. and kept free from all weakening influences.
