Troubles at home.
THE CAPITOL BLUNDER
The Press of Montgomery Unanimous on the
 Subject.

like this, prefering to have the plans which promised the arrangements best suited to their tastes to these desired by the members of the commission. The plans accepted will place the library and court room on the ground floor, with Judges on the second, along with the clerks and other officers. One feature of it Is that six hundred square feet are given to toilet rooms.
 Three Story Plan.
 The three story plans make the court room on the first floor the library and court officers on the second and the Justices on the third. It is much more contracted and gives. more room a whole, allowing the whole three floors, however. in the south wing, to be built at once, for the use of the court The main building is three stories and the members of the commission think that 1t will give the best results in the way or symmstry and general architectural beauty.
 It is generally believed that in the end the three story idea will prevail, as the contract stipulates that before the contract for the construction is let the commission may revise and alter as It ses f1t. using such arrangement as
 .".. The Situation. :
 To fully understand the situation it must be remembered that while only the south wing is to be built now, the plans submitted were to apply to the whole scheme. which contemplated a wing on the north side just like that at the south. The south wing is to be the quarters of the Supreme Court and that body had the right to say what 1t should be according to the act, but 1t Is now pointed out that 1t was never thought that the Supreme Court, with two more members than the commission would come in and dictate the whole plan of rebuilding, remodeling and ex- tension. This two story plan will also put the north wing, when built, so close to the Confederate monument that a kick may be expected of those who were instrumental in having it erected possible to move the monument from its present position to a point in the front of the main building at cost of not over S2,000. =-- =- . Amusing Incident.
 An amusing incident is reported of the meeting of the commission on yes terday. Afte- the selection of the Lockwood plans for the first prize. for which, it is said not single member of the commission voted, the Presiden, said
 Well. I suppose there will be no ob- jection to the second honors gong tc MT. Smith" Smith was the final second choice.
 Yes there is," spoke up Auditor Thomas l.. Sowell
 All right" responded the President What have you to object to?' ] T still want to vote for Mir. Lock wood as the second man in the list, as he. in my opinion, had the plans tha, | fall in that ratio in my estimation" With laugh the vote was taken an6 the vote of the popular Auditor wa: l recorded.

A GREAT BLUNDER.
The Supreme Court Has Gone Outsi,
 Of It's Sphere.

Editor The Advertiser:
 It does not require trained eye to observe. by the perspectives published in your paper of this date. that the seven Supreme Court justices in vot- ing for two story additions to the his- toric Statehouse of Alabama have made a great blunder.
 Positively 1t is astounding to me that seven men of Alabama selected for their exalted stations. because of their sha wisdom wisdom and great learning dltions to one of the great buildings of the country, have subordinated the value of the building and the interest of the people, to their own selfish de- sires. It is not unfair to the Justices to reach theis conclusion. In fact the conclusion is irresistible, when it is mated to the interior plans, the com fort, the convenience, the luxury of the Supreme Court Justices and their at taches.
 The Legislature made q colossal mis- take when 1t provided that the Su- preme Court Judges should sit with the Capitol Commission. It Is my humble opinion that they had no more right on the Commission than the Ad- Jutant General, the President of the Railroad Commission or any other offi- @ by the e0se eniargement Iu1 hsf' of the the Capitei Indeed 1t Is doubtful if other State officials, having been named on the Commission by the Legislative; would have seized an advantage of the peo- pie as the Supreme Court has done.
 As an Alabamian, native Ala, bamian. I am proud of the fine record of our Supreme Court. They are great lawyers. but they have proven their unfitness to deal with an important matter outside their sphere. i If the Justices of the Supreme Court do not recede from the position they have taken-their desire to provide a monstrops building. for their own pleasure and comfort. then the people of the State ought to remember these Justices when they offer for re-elec- the people next year, and since they

coLoRpD CRIMINALS IN CHICAGO

One of our colored exchanges gives rests for felonies In Chicago during the first quarter of the present year. It shows that while the negroes are but per cent of the total population. l2 per cent of the arrests were ne- groes. and the paper argues that no one should assume from these figures that the negroes are more criminally inclined than the whites are. It says: | of arrests of negroes should be out of all proportion to the number of the race. Race prejudice. even in the et districts on notorious % for or % crime. The e re e. suit Is that they are under constant 1 suspicion. and are arrested for alleged ofenses when the are innocent and in rested The individual criminals among them are also arrested more frequently than whites guilty of the to the aggregate of arrests and in- creasing the proportion of arrests.
 We suspect there is a good deal of truth in what this paper says about the treatment of negroes in the North ern cities. With all their loud talk about the rights and wrongs of the poor colored man-elsewhere-they Ipractice very little of their own doc trine Hence 1t Is that the negroes ir Chicago and elsewhere up North arc forced to live under conditions which naturally encourage crime. Still. il the paper from which we quote intend: to claim that negroes as a race arc not more criminaily inclined than tn, whites are 1t has undertaken an i'm possibility.

A few days ago Recorder Con of New York sentenced two well dressed" young men to three months that of swindline their employer out of nine thousand dollars. If they had been badly dressed and had stolen a suit of clothes they would have gone up for several years. Their good clothes is what made 1t easy on them. but the mistake they made was in not getting 0 hundred times as much as they did. Then they might have gone free

SATURDAY, JULY & 1905.
HAVE LEARNED THE LESSON.

Strikes. Idrkouts. boycotts. picket ing and other covardly and under handed methods of controlling or ruin ing employers are not uncommon in these latter days, unfortunately. These modern substitutes for contracts ana agreements have apparently taken hold of almost the entire labor sys- tenn, and no one can feel surprised when he reads or hears of such thing for there are walking delegates and labor leaders who make an easy living by fomenting differences and ordering strikes. It is a much easier way of getting living than by honest work.
 But the evil example of these law breaking strikers does not stop with themselves but extends unfortunately to the children who would never think Of such lawlessness if they were not encouraged and melted by their eld- CTS We have seen that even the school children in Chicago caught the criminal mania and caused trouble in the schools as well as out of them.
 The most outrageous example of un- fairness and. injustice that we have San Francisco, and it shows one of the results of union methods. Because The Bulletin had been exposing the graft and corruption among the off, cials of that city the Mayor caused a newsboys union to be organized for the purpose of breaking down the pa- per's business. In order to sustain and encourage them he induced The Post to let the boys have papers at the rate of four for a nickel. Then, because The Bulletin could not and would not cut It's prices down to the same figure the boys boycotted it. What followed was the usual and nat ural sequence of all such proceedings and is thus set out by The Sacramento Bee. which tells us that on Wednesday and Thursday following the institu- lion of the boycott "riotous conduct was exhibited on tbe streets by news boys. in their lawless efforts to pre-. vent the sale and delivery of copies oi The Bulletin. Prominent citizens wh, obtained copies were set upon ant beaten Even women were publicly insulted and slapped by the young law breakers, for reading the boycottet paper. Bulletin carrier wagons wer' attacked by the mob. and packages o papers cut open and seized.
 Yesterday when a squad of police appeared, in response to call, t' queil riot in the neighborhood of tn, Bulletin office, the officers were peltet with sticks and stones by the news boys. At another point a poor old wo man, who keeps a news stand, wal roughly handled by newsboys becaus she sold Bulletins, and deputy sheriff who tried to give her Ifotection Wa attacked several times by the hood lums."
 All this. we repeat, is the natura sequence of union methods. Ther was no strike in this case. but-as tn boycott usually follows the strike 1t i not to be wondaved at if 1t shoul sometimes come %Nhout a strike. Tn scenes on the streets of San Francisc prove that the boy hoodlums have wei learned the methods of their elder and are quick to follow them. The are neither better nor worse than ar those from whom they learned thei lesson.
