bama will have to go uncultivated next year. Every thing tending to attract Italian laborers to Alabama should be done and if the State Agricultural De- partment, has the authority to do so. 1t could render signal service in this direction. by securing the services of n competent man at New Orleans and New York who will work to induce them to settle in our State. The work cannot be commenced too soon. The State has suffered this year from a scarcity of labor and the evil Is likely to grow unless prompt steps are taken to correct 1t.
 A day or two ago, we published a let ter from the secretary of a society in New York. which is looking after Ital- ian immigration and it is re-published today in order that our readers who are SO disposed may open correspondence with him.

Twenty thousand Norwegians resid- Ing in or near Chicago have forward ed a petition to President Roosevelt making this request: We citizens of the United States. of Norwegian birth and blood, do earnestly hope and do respectfully petitio nthat you will at the earliest opportunity signify your respectfully petition that you will at Norway" As probably 10000 or more citizens of the United States of Swedish blood and birth are ready to petition to the opposite effect. perhaps 1t will occur to both Swedish and Norwegian citizens of the United States that as good citizens 1t would be just as well for them to wait like the rest of us for developments.

Unsafe School Building.

Tt is my earnest hope" said citi- zen whose children attend the Sayre Street School. that before the next year begins something will be done to- ward providing quarters for the chill dren who were taught In the old Chiffon building adjacent to the Sayre Street School the past year.
 This old building Is undoubtedly un- safe. That much is apparent to the most casual observer. It Is actually dangerous for children to have to sit in the rooms of that building, and 1t Is an outrage on patrons of the school to require their children to so into the old building.
 My children will be taken from the Sayre Street School another year If they are expected to go into that unsafe building. IT the scl,ooi authorities in sist on using the old building the time will came when any number of children will be hurt and the city will have some heavy damage suits on its hands
 Before the Council or the citizens prepare to issue school bonds some thing should be done to relieve the sit- uation at the Sayre Street School"

broken by the heartlessness of his cronfes

ambition to enter the field diplomatic.
James Hazen Hyde is bidding the world of
fashion adeu and preparing for privacy and
reflection. He Is selling out, lock, stock
and barrel, and in the stable outfit adver-
tised are Skeleton breaks, opera buses,
mail phaetons. stanhope gigs. panel-boot
victorias. jogging carts, tandem carts, dog
carts, shooting carts, buggies, runabouts,
park drags. hanson cabs and various other
vehicles" These particular articles would
probably have gone under the hammer even
If Mr.. Hyde had drawn the Paris prize. for
he would have started in at the gay French
capital with everything bright and brand
new. but they indicate his tastes in that
line. and how he would have dazzled French
eyes with an opportunity. Not altogether
unfair or improbable seems to be the charge
of some of his critics that the young man
has wheels IN his head.

Murder and Mob-Murder.

Here is the sort of paragraph that fire.
qutntly comes up from a southern state to
refute the claims of those who defend lynch
law on the score that it Is a peculiar GUS
tom designed TO meet peculiar condition:
MEMPHIS. Tenn, November 2O.-After
unsuccessfully trying to convince Dave
Sims, negro, that his books were correctly
Kept, Parson Jones, manager of the Spring
field plantation, discharged the man last
night.
Later Sims crept up behind the parson
and blew off his head with two loads of
buckshot
Now two posses are after the negro. If
the first, headed by the sheriff captures
him he may hang legally; if the other. led
by bloodhounds and made up OF Jones
friends, takes him the murderer will be con-
victed by Judge Lynch. -
There is no suggestion here of the usual
crime" for which mob execution is admin
istered. The criminal is murderer who
deserves no more and no less than legal
trial and legal punishment. To chase him
with bloodhounds. and when captured to
hang him to tree, or, to burn him at the
stake. will in no degree insure future i'm
munity from this kind of crime. Lynch law
loses all of its effectiveness-if it has any
at all-when 1t is applied to mere blood
crimes of the kind here committed What
greater terror has the mob for the criminal
than the jail and the gallows? None, save
the fear of torture in the flames. Does the
wretch think of this difference when he
raises his gun or his ak to slay his victim ?
The fact is undeniable, even by the de-
Tenders of lynching as a method of punish
ment that mob violence has done more to
create and perpetuate race passions and
to cause race murders than any other fac
tor, The mob declares that there is one
law for the white man. and another for the
negro. and as long as it puts this declara-
ton into effect it gives the negro cause to
hate his white neighbor and inspires him to
wreak personal vengeance upon him at the
first flare OF passion.
