duration in such school districts or

duration in such school districts or townships"
 Are the school moneys, gathered in part from Jefferson and other rich counties, apportioned in the districts and townships as to provide school terms of equal duration for the benefit of the children between the ages of seven and twenty-one years? This question is addressed directly and par ticularly to the members of the legis- lature.
 It is publicly whispered that in some townships schools for the white chill dren in them are not opened at all, but children being few in number, they are sent to various institutions in other counties at public expense. Irregulari- ties of even a grosser nature have be- come the subjects of common gossip, and all such things should be probed to the bottom.
 Upon this legislature rests the re. sponsibility of keeping Alabama from becoming the tailend state in the re- spect of literacy in the next census year. It cannot do this unless 1t takes vigorous and imperative steps towards compelling the apportionment of the school moneys in the districts or town ships according to the terms of section 256 of the new constitution.
 An investigation in regard to tlis matter is much needed.

Thy rage shall burn thee up, and thou shalt turn to ashes.
 -King John.
Governor Jelks' Inaugural Address.

Much hope is to be gathered from the address delivered by Governor Jelks when he was sworn in to serve until January, 1907. He goes into office desiring no further political pre- ferments. He will build no machine. He wants no machine. He has no use for one. He does desire the support and gratitude of the people-of the many, as he expresses it-and he is in an independent position that will en- able him to serve the many. The Age Herald predicts that his independence will afford him a rare opportunity to render the state rare service.
 He did not in his inaugural address attempt to define his entire programme as chief executive, but he did mention some things that he will attempt to accomplish, so far as his duties will permit, namely:
 1. Honest elections.
 2. The punishment of all lynchers- .1awless murderers," in other words.
 3. Good roads.
 4. Better schools, and especially bet ter school houses.
 This is an excellent platform, and the man who thinks Governor Jelks has not the courage to stand by his convictions does not know the man. He will stand by them, and The Age-Her- aid has confidence he will establish all these great blessings in this state if the present legislature will do its part. To that end fair and just election law is needed; a law authorizing the ex- ecutive to call at any time a special term of the circuit court; an up-to-date road law, and a constitutional amend ment permitting local taxation for school purposes. If these four great measures become law, Governor Jelks will certainly do the rest.

MURDERERS GO FREE
From the Augusta Chronicle.

From the Augusta Chronicle.
 We have been led more than once to make the statemet that a man who kills a man in this community is in much less danger of legal punishment than one who steals q suit of clothes. Our purpose in making this statement has been to ehal- lerge attention to the failure of juries to convict for murder, rather than with the fear the statement is much nearer tue | than it ought to be-
 Under the idea that misery loves com pany 1t may be interesting to note that our failure in this regard is not peculiar to this community. We note in one of our New York exchanges the statement that out of 13O homicides in New York city in 1900 only three persons were con victed of murder and only one sent to the death chair-less than l per cent. Certainly our record Is no worse than that.
 There were SS34 murders committed in the United States in 1902 and the number Is likely to increase rather than dimn- ish unless the laws against homicide are enforced.
 We hear a great deal about the in- efficiency of the courts and failure to punish murderers, and this is cited at times as an excuse, if not justification, for mob law. But wherein are our courts ineffective? In what department do they fail? The answer is obliged to be that 1t is in the jury box. and If there are not convictions the juries are to blame The law against murder and the various grades of homicide is both explicit and comprehensive. The machiaery of the courts is ample and efficient. The fault is in the jury box. It matters not how clear 1t is to the common sense of the public that murder has been committed the defendant is permitted to go freq on the most trivial patchwork defense of reasonable doubt" Although the law clearly sets forth what constitutes a req. sonable doubt, and although the jury knows that the claim of self-deionse is, in the great majority of cases. trihlng and imaginary, there Is an unwilliagness on the part of the jurors to irflicr the death penalty. The murdered man IS dead and gone. No amount of punishment inflicted upon his assailant can restore him to life. So much time has elapsed since the crime that public indignation has grown dull and human sympathy appeals for the liv- ing. He passes from the light of crim- inal into the atmosphere of a martyr, and the jury seems to feel that its pro- vince is to snatch this brand from the burning rather than to vindicate the ma jesty of the law and punish t1e man who has taken human life. As jur.es are rnade up from our citlzenry of average intell.- gence it is we, ourselves. who are to blame If juries will no. convict, judges cannot infiict penalties. TSe jury box is the place where reform is needed.

Democratic City Primary.

The action of the city democratic executive committee in calling pri- mary on March 2 and in defining it's scope, will meet with general approval There is a general desire that the chief of police shall be man who holds the confidence of the people, and the committee decided that the place should be balloted for in the primary. At the same time the voters will be asked to express their opinion of the police commission plan.
 The only question that called for serious division of opinion related to the vote necessary to nominate and decide. It was voted, however, that majority vote be required, instead of a plurality This almost necessarily involves a second primary, but all aspirants are required to pledge them serves lHdL they WILL Sldlu IL hSSu pS in a second primary, thus avoiding any repetition of the disgraceful sales and dickers that mark such second primaries in some cases. Whoever en- ters a race will be in honor bound to run a second time if he stand first or
 
 The fact that the primary of March 2 is to be held under the primary law of the state should not be overlooked. It will be confined to qualified electors only-that is to say, to the registered who have paid the poll tax that became delinquent October 1, 1902 The poll taxes mentioned must have been paid by or before February 1, 1903. Paste this in your hat, for no voting will be permitted on March ? by those who cannot meet these conditions.

WOULD PROHIBIT FOOTBALL.

Lincoln, Neb., January 2O-The game of football will pass out of existence in the colleges of Nebraska If Representative Cunningham of Hamilton county has his way. He has prepared a bill for intro duetion in the legislature which is now in session, and he says he has received pledges of support from every member he has sounded. Representative Cunning ham pronounces football brutal game
 his conclusions being based on an experi- enee with his own son. The representa- tive says that the youth plays on the high school team at his home, and shortly ar- ter the thanksgiving game the boy boast ed of having disabled an opponent, com polling him to quit the game He justifies his bill on the ground that it will tend to make men, whereas football makes brutes

SENATE MAY ADMINISTER
 REBUKE TO MORMONISM

The life of this nation--and of every acknowledgements upon the home. and the home depends upon the faithful obser- vance of the principle of monogamy-the marriage of one husband to one wife.
 The experience of many ages and Of many lands that polygamy is destructive of the home life and of the virtues born of that life; that the plural wives sys- tenn Is degrading to husband, to wives and to offspring and that the harem is the last place on earth in which to rear the sterling domestieities upon which the true life of a people must repose
 The men and women who made this country knew perfectly well that it would be neither wise nor just to mix up church and state, or to make any citi- zen's religious belief a matter to quarrel over and so religion was left free, to be seated between the soul and God. But let it be clearly understood that Mormonism is a religion with an annex. The religion is that Joe Smith was the prophet of God, the annex being Joe Smiths libertine theory of the harem.
 The American people are not averse to having a seat in the senate filled by the man who believes that Joe Smith was a prophet of God; but they will not allow the historic body to be disgraced by an advocate of the harem.
 The decency of the country will see to it that Shoot and his Mormonism are properly and effectually rebuked.

CANCER RESEARCH.
Some Interesting Facts Regarding Its
 Development.

From the London Chronicle.
 Anything which bears on the subject of cancer, in relation to its cause, is of paramount interest alike to the public and the medical profession, as well as to biologists at large. Hence recent announcement concerning cancer in re- lation to certain phases of bodily devel- opment cannot fail to be read with at- tention. Dr. J. Beard of the University of Edinburgh. in the course of an ad- dress given before the Royal Physical society, of that city, remarked on the division of the cells, or living units of as Wesmann figured forth. These are. first. the ordinary cells comprising the tissues of the frame, and second, germ cells, on which rests the duty of repro during the species. Dr. Beard thinks the two groups of cells are distinct from the first, which is rather surprising, see ing that evolution being postulated all through common origin might be re- garded as indicating the real manner of their development. Re that as 1t may. Dr. Beard pointed out that germ cells are known to exhibit certain eccentrici- ties of disposition during the progress of development. Thus they may stray away from their proper and natural en- vironment and take up their abode In tissues to which t,ley are strangers. When these vagrant cells settle down in such situations, they may attempt either to exercise their reproductive du- ties in a feeble way or, what Is equally important, they may give rise to tumor- ous or new growths. When 1t Is added that in some cases the tumor appears in the shape of a cancer the interest attach ing to Dr. Boards remarks may be ap- preciated to the full.

School Moneys in the Townships.

The members of the legislature should read and reread section 256 of the new constitution. It runs as fol- lows "The legislature shall establish, organize and maintain a liberal system of public schools throughout the state for the benefit of the children thereof between the ages of seven and twenty one years. The public school fund shall
 be apportioned to the several coun- ties in proportion to the number of school children of school age therein, and shall be so apportioned to the schools in the districts or townships in the counties as to provide, as nearly as practicable, school terms of equal

From the New York Journal.
 Apostle Reed smoot has been nominated for United States senator by the repub- 1iea ns of the Utah legislature.
 uhe nomination Is, of course. equivalent to-ran election. and in the near future the Cpinscript Fathers down at Washington vEnl find themselves face to face with The question: Shall Mormon be al- lowed to sit in the United States sem ate?" -
 Shoot is a member of the Council of the Twelve Apostles of the Mormon church, land is, therefore, in direct line for the Presidency of that most un-American in- sstitution.
 ] That Shoot is a thorough Mormon there can be no doubt. He Is a Mormon of the Mormons, and his proselyting voice has been heard all over the country, as we'll as throughout England and the con tinent.
 That this man should be nominated and elected to the high office of United States senator by the Mormons of Utah is not A matter of surprise, but 1t will be very great surprise If Shoot Is permitted to !! take his place in the upper council of , the nation.
 The objection Is not to Shoot, or to his religion df he has any) but to his Nor lmanism-his open and bold-faced violation pof the one supreme ethical idea upon " tiich all true civilization depends.

GOWN LIKE MISS RoosEvELT's.
Exclusive" Model Designed for the Presidents Daughter Sold to Others.

Washington, January 20.-The fallacy or exclusive models was amusingly ilustrat- ed at Edward Morrells smart set tea on Saturday afternoon, when Miss Alice Roosevelt, who was attired Tn most becoming gown of white cloth. elaborate ly trimmed in Russian lace, was suddenly confronted by companion attired in Its counterpart, which had been made In New York
 The apparition did not come as a sur prise to the Presidents daughter, whose gown made it's appearance at one of her mothers teas a few weeks ago. when the owner of it's double was also present. The latter, Miss Alice Ward, promptly in- formed Miss Roosevelt of the deception which had been practiced upon them, and gracefully offered not to wear the gown in Washington should Miss Roosevelt for whom it was designed, object. Mss Roosevelt. however, protested against any such sacrifice on the part Of Miss Ward. who is one of her best friends. Accordingly Saturday, when Miss Ward entered the drawing rooms at Mrs Mor- rells, she discarded velvet wrap that partially concealed the resemblance of the two gowns, and made her way to Miss Roosevelt After laughingly com pairing the gowns, these two merry maids executed an impromptu caSewalk as the Gold Dust Twins" to the amusement of the company, which was the smartest of the gatherings of the day.
 Not only Miss Ward but five other young women who recently served with her as bridesmaids at the Kountze wed- ding in New York, are now wearing this exclusive creation
 This incident recalls similar one of last winter, when Mrs. Hanna and Mrs. Foraker met at the white house, each attired in new gown bought respective ly in Cincinnati and Chicago, and each guaranteed an exclusive model, only to find they were alike In every detail, while third gown differing merely in the color of its trimming, had been bought in New York by Mrs. Kean, mother Of the New Jersey senator.

Lily Whites Again Moving.

There is to be something doing in the squad known to fame as the lily whites of Alabama They are about to launch, so to speak, the Mark Hanna Presidential boom, which has been resting long ume in camphor balls. A majority of the squad masquerading as committeeman have already signed a petition for the reconvening of both the state executive committee and the state convention, really one and the same. The committee is the whole tLing. and when it adjourns as com mittee it will at once assemble itself as a convention, and possibly later as a mass meeting. In point of compact ness and solidarity the lily whites of Alabama are shining light to all poli- ticians.
 Alabamas lily whites cannot un- aided nominate Mark Hanna for Presi- dent, but all booms must have a be- gining, and the hope turks in the breasts of the lily whites that they can furnish the beginning, expecting in the outcome, if it be fortunate, a quid pro quo, or words to that effect They will furnish the beginning if the other states will do the rest They have a very compact and readily handled starting machine on hand, and the chances are that it will be turned loose very soon.
 What MT. Hanna will do in regard to it is not known. Thus far he has not discountenanced it. Thus far he seems to hold himself in position to have the White House thrown at him. Greatness, says the dramatist, some times comes in that way, although no mention is made in that connection of action on the part of the lily whites of Alabama.

creatore and cartoonist.

"Creatore Is a successful band dlreo'oi and he has a fine body of musicians p"s he would get just as good results II ne were quiet and reposerui on the stase instead of being the whirlwind actor liia' he is." said an old musician.
 T do not object to Creatore's antics' on the contrary, rather enjoy wa'chins them. But the popular Italians nery mannerisms have nothing to do "ih working the musicians up to the grahu climaxes or of accentuating the rhythih of the music that is being played All the fine effects In orchestral compositions are worked out In rehearsal IheouoFe Thomas, for example, stoms and tusses in his private rehearsals, but when ne comes before the footlights he is all. re- pose and in fortisimo passages uses htte or no gesture. What musicians call the wink of the conductor includes all or the leaders motions. New members or pahd or orchestra learn the wink in two or three rehearsals. Whether the leader be stormy or quiet, it is all the same to them.
 But what l started out to say was that the cartoon artists and burlesque come dians in exaggerating the wild conductor have been far too mild, if Creatore be taken as a type Carieatures are tame when compared with this real man of flesh and blood.

sGOV. HAYWARD HANDLES
 PRESIDENT VIGOROUSLY

Cuban whites would object, and while they have none of our strong reasons for prejudice, their views are respected. For the same reason negroes are not tent in diplomatic or consular capacities to Central or South America governments.
 The south and Liberia seem to be the only fields which the administration con- siders open to negro officeholders. The south is doubtless the only spot on earth where business representatives of a busl- ness government are forced on the people who pay the piper against their protests. Is it wise? Is 1t just? Is 1t friendly? Is it good business?
 AS to the Indianola postmaster incl dent, I am not fully informed. If the postmaster was in danger of a mob she should have been protected The gov ernor of the state should have had the responsibility put on him of furnishing that protection. Mob law is abherent; 1t cannot be tolerated, and the representa- tives southerner as strongly opposes such violence as does the best element in New England
 But the Presidents action in closing the office without ascertaining whether the state authorities would guarantee pro- lection to the negro official, his refusing to accept the resignation of Mrs. Cox and insisting that the people should take mail from her or get none at all, does he do credit to the office of President of the United States.
 We realize that in no other section of the country would such case have been handled in this way. We feel that no where in the country are the views and prejudices of the overwhelming business interests so disregarded as in the south. We know such action engenders Ill feel ing between the races in the south, and so retards the progress of the negro, for he can only be lised by the friendly aid of his white neighbors.
 ITO force him into politics when he wishes to retire, to again thrust him into a position of antagonisn, as was done by the carpet baggers thirty-ive years ago, Is the most unkind action that can be taken by 8 friend of the negro"
