Whenever an esteemed Republican contemporary up North runs out of anything else to get up e scream about we can always and with safety depend on it coming out against Southern suf- frage regulations. We are told that thousands of earnest and honest men in the North are deeply concerned at the discrimination against negro voters in the South" It doesn't matter what newspaper used this language, which we have quoted from one of them, for 1t fits any of their columns. That or something of the kind might be sym dlcated and all of them could use it. It is an ever-present fountain into which the Republican spacewriters dip their pens and from which they draw inspiration for anti-Southern tirades. What matters it? It makes them feel good and doesn't hurt us to any appre- ciable extent.

TWO HUMAN BRUTEs.

We have all read with horror of Hindoo women who leave their infants on the banks of a river to be devoured gods. and we have read of similar practices among other savages, but The New York Times tells of a man and wife of Chicago who are but little in advance of the savages,. and con- sidering their opportunities ands sur roundings they are far behind the Him doos. According to The Times this couple abandoned their baby because they did not want it." The mother took the little one to an asylum, told a pitiful tale, and left it, together with s25. Later she was haled to court, and here declared helself in terms not springing from maternal love. from de- cent womanhood, or that can be i'm agined as coming from any nature not vicious and brutalized. If you force me to take back the baby I'll jump into the lake," quoth sweet Mrs Dono- van. I didn't want it. and do not love it. I won't take care of it. I'll kill myself first No clipped in the amia- ble Donovan. we do not want the baby. We wished no children Continuing he explained that as soon as the unwel- come visitor arrived they had de- cided to put 1t in an institution where somebody might adopt it."
 Really 1t might not have been a bad plan to have allowed this inhuman be- ing to capry out her threat and kill her self, provided she would not injure the child. Reading of such monsters as these we are lead to think that, moral ly at least,
 They are neither man nor woman,
 They are neither brute nor human,
 They are ghouls,
 as Poe describes certain characters in, his poem of The Bells. It is hard to imagine such brutes in human form, and we quite agree with The Washing ton Times that they are "alien creat- ures, apart from all that Is good or kind or tolerable. The immeasurable villainy of the woman who casts away her own flesh and blood Is not to be described, but only contemplated with loathing that vainly seeks some medium though which to be expressed, while her male accomplice deserves to be scourged through the streets"

 If Governor Vardaman of Mississippi would content himself with doing things, and would restrain his propen- sity for saying things he would be more honured than he Is throughout the country. One of his latest conspicuous deiiyerances was the silly and insult ing remark made with respect to the President when MT. Roosevelt visited the St. Louis Exhibition. One of the best of his recent exploits is the sup pression of the whitecapping organi- Sation that has been conducting a ne- gro extermination war in two counties of Mississippi. In these counties the whitecap bands had grown so desperate capitalists were refusing to loan mon- ey to farmers.

in Putting Down Various
Forms of Lawlessness.
TO SUPPRESS GAMBLING

This morning the Ministers union of
Birmingham will meet at 10 o'clock In
the First Methodist church, and the law
probably be organized.
At the last meeting of the union a
committee, Of which the Rev. Frank VIII
lis Barnett was made chairman, was ap-
pointed TO proceed to form the Law and
Order league and Mr. Barnett has re-
quested that all the ministers hand in the
list of the men who they think would
make good conservative members of such
an organization.
The object of the league is to aid the
authorities in suppressing all kinds of
lawlessness, and especially gambling.
The league, according to the outline of
the plan adopted at the last meeting. is
to consist of 100 representative citizens,
bankers. attorneys, physicians. preachers
and business men.
The matter of selecting the members
of the league has been left to the COM
mittee of which Mr.. Barnett is chairman.
He has asked every minister to present
a list of representative men, and from
these lists he proposes to name the league.
which will then be passed by the Minis
ters' union.
A number of lists have already been
handed to Mr. Barnett, and he expects
to receive the rest today. Exactly what
plan the league will persue in stopping
violations of the law is not known, but 1t
Police Wier and the sheriff's office.
The league will provide a sum of money
for securing evidence against gamblers
and proprietors of gambling houses, and
will attempt to have all such places closed
up. 1t will probably see to a vigorous
prosecution OF all the men arrested

BOYS ARE SENT TO
INDUSTRIAL HOME
GRANDSON OF FORMER PRESl-
DENT OF UNIVERSITY OF ALA.
AND CONGRESSMAN FALLS
FROM GRACE AND is ARRESTED.

Eugene Smith and Allen Cooper. two
white boys, aged 10 years have been sent
to the Boys Industrial school at East
Lake, where they were sentenced some
time ago by Judge Feagn. They are prob
ably two Of the brightest boys in the city
but they were continually in trouble, and
the former was even convicted of high
way robbery recently.
Eugene Smith is as bright a boy as can
be found He is the son of the late edi-
tor of a newspaper published in Fayette
county, and grandson of the late w. X.
Smith, at one time president of the Uni
versity of Alabama and also representa-
tive to congress from one of the Alabama
districts just after the war.
The grandfather OF the boy was known
in Washington as "the watch dog of the
treasury" while he was in congress, and
was considered one of the most intellect
ual men in Alabama at one time. He was
quite scholar, and translated Homer s
Had in poetry.
The grandson was arrested several
months ago on a charge of choking a
little boy near Third avenue and Twenty
second street near st. Paufs church,,
and taking some money away from him.
Father ORelly interested himself in the
boy and sent him to the Jesuit College at
Springhll. near Mobile. The boy had
remained there only a short time and
upon his running away and returning to
Birmingham he stated he did not like
the strict discipline.
Several days ago the little fellow was
arrested, with a playmate of his. on a
trivial charge, but II furnished the OPP
portunity Judge Feagln desired to send
him to the industrial school, The boy at
first refused to go to the school, as he
said he was not fond of blowing, and
was afraid of being kicked by the mule.
He gives a Vivid account of his trip to
Mobile, and also of what he expects to
find at the Industrial school.
