teis. and we do not care. The manner n which N: Smith was appointed is an out. rage and cannot be too severely con demned. MT. Smith would preserve hls self-respect and the good will of all if he should refuse to accept the office under the circumstances.
 The people have i.sht to be heard. This offlco Is likely to take few po- iitical scalps in the years to come"
 The editorial Is somewhat remarkable in the face of the fact that the Journal yesterday afternoon published the fact of the appointment and gave the list of those who endorsed the application of MT. Smith and the facts in connection herewith. It seems that M. kirkpat- rick, Sr, being in i'll health, expressed desire to resign if a man believing as he did about good and permanent roads could be secured to succeed him. and he set upon Mir Julien Smith as the man, the latter being an enthusiast on the sub feet of good roads and being a practical engineer himself. MT Cliff Kirkpatrick. prominent democrat himself, approach ed MT. Smith and stated the wishes of his father. After consulting friends MT. Smith decided to become an applicant, and the following endorsements were taken to Montgomery by MT. Cliff Kirk  his father
 F. H. Pitts. probate judge and presiding officer of the court of county revenue. Dr. W. c. Philips, J. A. Minter and Atlanta J. Martin. the other members of the court.
 F. M. Blackwell, sheriff; J. II. Lump kin, tax assessor; c. P. Morrison, tax collector; Theodore Lacy, circuit clerk l county officers
 H. S. D. Mallory, chairman of the state executive committee.
 J. B. Ellis. chairman of the county executive committee.

WsIker County Court.

The case of the Walked county law and equity court was submitted to the supreme court today It is contended that the law repeating the court is invalid, in that it did not specifically say to what court the impending cluses were to be sent. Judge A. A. Coleman of the Tenth circuit holds that the law is good and that the court was repealed. Thsre is reason to believe from a recent decision in the Clay county case, that the repeal ing act Is not valid. The Fourteenth cir cult act recently invalidated, left Walker county in bad shape, and It looks as II there will be little chance of early trials for about forty prisoners now in jall if the law and equity court is not srs- tained.
 The case of W. l.. Nordan Vs the state, was presented and argued today. Nordan is accused of poisoning his young wlte and has received a sentence of life from the lower court of Henry county, in which the. crime is said to have occurred. The question of the repeal of the Morgan county court was presented to the court today also, it being argued that the court was not legally appealed.
 The court also held that the t'ba uls- pensary law was not good, one result or which will probably be the invalulatlng of all laws back to prohibition.

Is Supreme Law Nov.

Alabama referees have been called to give recount along this line. which has not been authenticated.
 Is Supreme Law NoN
 The questo of the validity of the Ala bama revenue law was argued this after neon in the city court before the Hon. W. H. Thomas, judgo "f the criminal side, because of the illness of Judge Sayre of the equit ydivlslon. Hon. Massey Wilson, attorney general argued for the validity of the bill and Charles r. Jones, local attorney for several of the rail- road systems, for the other side. The facts of the case at issue are as follows: The Mahattan Trust company of New York, loans the Louisville and Nashville rail- road company $2.00O,0O0 for betterment of the north and south division. The deed O. trust was filed for record in the pro- bate court of Montgomery county for which the probate judge charged 5000 as record fec. The money was paid and suit at once entered for It's recovery on the ground that the Ia wex5ctng fifteen cents per one hundred dollars for such record is not legal in the light of the constitution, and if it is. the instrument filed does not come within the provisions or it. A case pending against the conti- mental Trust compay of Baltimore. on the record of a paper covering a loan of s75 GOO GOO. made to the Seaboard Air Line, involves the same questions.
 Hard on Dispenoaries
 The supreme court was rather hard on dispensary laws today invalidating one at Elba and the other at Headland. In both cases the trouble seems to have been that the bills gave to the dispeD- saries, rather than the town Itself, the right to operate and conduct the dispen- saries This is regarded as bad legisla- tion in that 1t goves to individuals rights that are not legally delegated to other than civic subdivisions. At Elba the validity of several other local laws was taken into question and 1t may be before the end that there will be a prohibition act resorted to in the town, the other acts having been rendered invalid. The supreme court will get through with the present call of the docket by next week early, after which it will adjourn until April 3, at which time the first division, consisting of Baldwin. Clarke, Mobile. Monroe and Washington counties will be called again.

NEW MILLIONS INVESTED IN

The formation of a syndicate with a
cash capital of S2,Q0d,60o to take over

pany of New Orleans is one of the
striking and direct results of the pend

activity which has alresdy set in on ac-
count OF this stupendous international
project. The announcement of the deal
was confirmed by the fiscal agents OF
the new syndicate, the HiDernia Bank

nearly 100 years old passes into the
hands of a group of New Orleans f.

For the Conscience Fund.

Washington. March 15.-Yesterday in
plain envelope postmarked Jersey City,
the largest contribution ever, received
to the conscience fund" of the United
States, reached the Secretary of the
Treasury.
The contribution was for S12, 700 and
was in one thousand dollar and five
hundred dollar bills. The letter accom-
panving reads as follows:.
"Dear Sir: I am sending you here
with inclosed $4,000, which rs to go to
the use of the United States government
Years ago defrauded the government
of money, but have returned it all, and
now am paying fourfold, in accordance
with the teachings of Scripture. The
way of transgressors is hard, and no one
but God knows how have suffered the
consequences, and I would seek TO do
bountiful restoration. May God pardon,
while the United States is benefited.

THIS rs NO SEASON FOR THE
PESSIMIST.

Awriter in an Eastern paper has again
taken up that pessimistic question, sI5
life worth living 2" which Johnson an
swered so aptly years ago with, sit de-
pends upon the lvero !.
1t is very silly question to revive at
this season of the year surely. The
dull winter days may sometimes be inn
penetrable to our imperfect vision, but
not SO with the spring calling all things
to life.
The birds aroused you this morning.
They were twittering under your window,
perhaps laying plans for the summer,
and discussing the little home. that is to
be, far up in the branches of some great
tree.
When you had rubbed the sleep out
OF your eyes you left the house that had
been almost prison through dreary
winter months, and went into the park.
The resurrection is in progress. Buds
are swelling and the ilacs can hardly
wait for the warm breezes, the soft rain
and the golden sunshine that is to trans
form them into masses of fragrance.
The air feels good. 1t is clean and
wholesome. You fill your lungs with it,
and for the mement age falls frena your
shoulders and you want to shout and
run.
Through the dead leaves the green
grass is rising. fshe patches that have
felt the sun are already emerald carpets.
The soil is full of moisture and the brook
that was ice-bound few days ago purls
and trills and trickles and makes music
az sweet as the laughter of child.
There's bluebird and robin-yes,
dozens OF them. Where did they come
from ? How did they know that the door
had been thrown open and that Old
Mother Nature was bidding them a
smiling welcome
Who knows? Who cares? It is
enough that they are here and that their
chirps and twitterings are signs that |
the deathhand of winter has been re-
moved and that this beautiful world is |
again to blossom and make happy the |
soul of mankind.

GAMBLING. WHEN PROPERLY
CONDUCTED. is RECREATION
Says Prof. w. J. Kirby of Iathollc
University of America.

Philadelphia, March IA. - Professor
Herbert Gardiner Lord, of the Univer-
sity of Columbia, and Professor Will
liam ]. Kirby. Of the Catholic Univer-
sity of America, have, in addresses be-
fore the Contemporary Club, stated that
they conld find no reason for saying that
gambling cannot be eradicated from
modern life and that the wisest thing to
do is to properly control it. The dis
cussion was listened to by distin-
guished audience.
Professor Kirby, after admitting the
theoretical legitimacy of gambling,
made an appeal for course of instruc-
tions in the schools which might lessen
gambling in the next generation and
said that cities should take up the work
of regulating gambling as an essentially
city problem.
"Gambling is not simply a game OF
chance" said he, "for chance is pres
ent in most business transactions.
Gambling is not merely the desire for
gain. 1t is not merely means of ex-
eitement. The constitutional gambler
is the man who desires only gain at play
as means to enable him to play again.
ssIt may seem strange for me to say SO
as professor of ethics, but have never
been able to find reason that will per-
NIT me to say gambling is wrong. 1t is
argued that gambling is wrong because
it is waste. On the contrary, there is
no destruction of wealth in gambling.
/ "Properly done, gambling is not a.
dissipation, but a recreation
