Rodgers Impe eachment.
 The motion to quash the impeachment proceedings brought against Sheriff A. D. Rodgers of Madison county was argued'in the supreme court this morning by Judge R. w. Walker and R. E. Spraggins of Huntsville, attorneys for the sheriff.
 It was submitted that there was no au- thority to impeach a sheriff before the supreme court; that the laws governing impeachment contemplates that he shall be tried If at all, in a lower court and shall have not only the right of appeal, but a trial by jury. Three counts were emphasized in the motion first that the governor had no right to order the pro- ceedings; second. that the attorney general had no right to bring them. and third, that the supreme court Is without juris- diction.
 Cause of Trouble.
 The whole trouble is brought about by the failure of the legislature to provide law to put the constitution into execu- ton. The story of this change in the means of impeaching of sheriffs Is ar interesting one. The old constitution pro- vded that they should, with other offi- cers, be impeached before city or circuit courts. There was. however. a move ment in the constitutional convention 10 make the sheriff responsible for the lynchings Of his county and to hold the counties in which they occur to money account. The proposition was bitterly fought. Finally 1t was compromised by making 1t possible to impeach sheriffs before the frpreme court, this being done to remove them from their home counties and away from local influences. It was argued that if lynchings were allowed by a sheriff it would be impossible to convict him in his own county but that 1t could be done at the state capitol many miles away
 Funny Situation.
 It was expected. however. that the leg islature would provide machinery for the new means, the section going so far as to say that such impeachment was to be secured "as provided by law" This was not done. Consequently there is no law save that in the old code, which says the sheriff shail be impeached be- fore the lower court, where he may have trial by Jury and the right to appeal to the supreme court. The very funny sit nation is presented of the constitution providing that sheriffs shall be impeached before the supreme court 'as provided by law" when the only law in existence

in a position to take a young

always seeking office; the other
awaits the will of the people.
Now the people have called a
patriotic and faithful citizen to
serve them as county auditor.
Mr.. Bjorke responds and is a

few, if any, who have not at

executive ability, and if elected
will make a most efficient serv-
ant. His friends are unanim-
