Remedy Suggested.


The release of twenty-elght eolored ie-
male professional criminals in one day by
the Mayor because OF. the crowded en-
dition of the city Jail furnishes subject
Tor serious thought" remarked & PROM
inent citizen. There is no adverse cs.ti-
cism Of the Mayors conduct, for he con-
ironted a situation which required sicedy
action and adopted the on.y course tren
to him by law.
"A policeman from Atlanta lately in
speeted the prisoners of the jail at At
lanta, and on being questioned said they
had found a soft snap in Birmingham,
for they We're fed. clothed and lodged
without having to work. whilst in At
lanta they had to work Now these pro-
fessional criminals are turned loose 70
prey on the community or be again N
generated and fed at public expense.
There is only one remedy which seems
adequate to meet the situation, and that
is is for the city to provide some place
where these people may do suitable work.
The city owns some land beyond Red
mountain, and II suitable quarters were
provided these people could be eompelle1
to do labor such as washing and mend
ing clothes for the city conyiets, and
perhaps for others who paid for 1t. They
could labor In gardens or truck patches
and provide vegetables for the prisoners
and themselves. and whilst lessening the
burden of their keep on the public, woula
do something useful and find prison life
not enchanting enough to call 1t a soft
snap. The expense of a trial of this
plan would not be very great"

The Iron Market.

The Birmingham iron market is now
fifty cents a ton higher than 1t was a
month ago. Fourteen dollars is paid
RELY for No. 2 foundry and the market
is strong at that figure. The tendency is
upward, and a SIS market is expected be-
fore a great while. The Tennessee COM
pany is not making merchant iron, its
Ersiey steel plant consuming the output
of its active furnaces, but the Sloss-
sheffield, the woodward and several
other furnace companies are turning out
a good deal of iron and are selling it at
the high figures.

The Poor Monopolles.

From the Talladega Reporter.
Possibly the Standard Oil company will
initiate the beef trust and show 1t is a
poor, starving enterprise. only making
two per cent on its investment. Perhaps
these concerns will next pass the hat or
ask Congress to put them on the protec-
tion list.

~ CUNT CASsINI, the Russian am
~ bassador at washington, still
- talks nobly of Russia's purposes
ia the Far East and continues to be bold
in stating that Russia will neither sue
for nor accept peace. The able ambas-
sador at Washington has perfect conf
dence in his government He is a good
representative. He thinks well of his
people, and he judges of them all by the
standard of himself.
Count cassini is one of the ablest rep
resentatives of any government in the
world Perhaps no ambassador at
Washington is possessed of the learn
ing and diplomacy and the ability of this
man. Yet he is deceived In the strength
of his own country.
As a matter of fact, Russia was whip
ped at the beginning of the war with ia
pan. Japan had prepared for it for
nine years Her engineers and her army
officers had gone over every foot of Mon
churlan territory. and her diplomats had
studied every phase of the situation as
1t would or could bear on foreign
interference. Japan had not only made
war maps of the Manehurian territory.
the Liaotung Peninsula, Port Arthur
and Vladlyostok, but her ambassadors
and ministers had made alliances with
foreign governments and signed treaties
and deeds with China and Korea before
war was declared.
Japan had made every possible prep
aration for this war-increasing and thor
oughly arning its army, adding to its
navy building and buying transports and
providing as thoroughly on great scale
as any other nation in the world had ever
provided for the possibilities of a war.
No architect could have crawn plans for
the construction of a building with more
attention to detail than Japan had planned
for the constructive details of this war
with Russia. Added to the plans was
the patriotism and religious belief of the
Japanese soldier. Though our accounts of
this war have been brief, we know of
the bravery of the japanese soldier and
of his ambition to die in battle II neces-
sary. We know not of one single retreat
on the part of Japanese company, bat
TALON, regiment or division. The Japa-
nese have fought to the bitter end In
each and every campaign. Apparently
the common soldier would prefer death
in battle rather than retreat; and only
during the past week have we heard of
the Japs making breastworks of their
own dead.
No other nation in the history of the
world has ever shown such reckless Draw
cry or fought with such disregard of
personal safety.
This man Oyama has proven himself
one of the greatest generals known to
the history of the world He has pursued

Vicduct Needed,

'The Birmingham Railway, Light and
Power company and the railroad COM
panies should get together and build a
viaduct over the tracks that cross First
avenue near the Sloss-Sheffield furnaces .
said a well known citizen, II remember
to have read in the papers two or three
years ago that President Jemison had
taken up this matter with the railroad
companies, but nothing came of It,
"All the railroads of the Birmingham
district are busy to the point of conges-
ton, and the street cars should not cross
a network of tracks at grade. The delays
to the street cars caused by long trains
switching and moving across thorough
fares is intolerable. to say nothing of the
risks to human life. The cost of via
duct on First avenue would not be excess
sive. but no matter what the cost might
be, it should be built"

NEGRO Propensities.

1T is funny to see what negroes Will
steal at different times IN the ca said
Chief Wier yesterday. We will have now
more reports Of chicken thieves than we
win have any two months during any
other part of the year.
"A negro has to steal chickens. 1t is
second nature with him. and there are
comparatively few negroes who are good
enough not to steal a chicken. OF course
many of them don't do it. but large
majority of them do do 1t.
In the winter time the negroes steal
clothing and overcoats especially The
colder the weather the more reports we
receive of stolen overcoats. If we have
very mild winter not many overeoats are
stolen, but If the weather gets very bad
we have-a large number of reports.
The police department have recovered
fifty overcoats which had been stolen
during the past winter
Just as soon as the weather gets warm
enough for the chickens to roost out in
the trees the negroes will get busy. Every
year at this time the policemen begin to
tell stories about chicken thieves they
nave known ana arrested, ana they al
ways end up by telling the life history of
Ed Wallace. the most famous negro
chicken thief that Birmingham ever
knew.
THAT negro would rather steal chick
ems than do anything else. lie was hon-
est about it. confessed to being a chicken
thief. He would steal hundreds and hun
dreds every year. and he vas as smart
about it as any one could be-"

Preference For Narrow Streets.

The Importance Of having the streets
OF town of the right width IS thus
treated in the Municipal Journal and
Engineer:
City Engineer J. D. Sherwood Of
Spokane, Wash. prefers narrower resi-
dental streets. In plotting out two
sections OF the city for acceptance by
the council he has reduced the width
from sixty TO fifty feet. Mr.. Sher-
wood said: Experience has shown
that q driveway Of thirty feet is the
best except on business streets bear
Ing heavy traffic. Wide streets make
much more dust than narrow ones ana
cause each residence to become Il veri-
table dust shop, which requires extra
labor and care for busy housewives
The wide streets are not all used for
driveways. Only narrow portion In
the center is used and the rest Is 9
dust or mud producer. If the drive
way IS narrow, every portion Is utii
lied and 1t is more easily cleaned and
sprinkleCl He also advocates a high
way constructed on q perfect arc and
with parking on each side.
