MUSGROVE RETURNS
 FROM TRIP NORTH
SAYS THAT ROBSON MAY FOSSIL BLY BE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT AT NEXT ELEc- TON.

l.. B. Musgrove, who managed the cam paign of Capt Richmond Pearson Hob son in his successful race against Con- gressman John H. Bankhead for the democratic nomination in the Sixth dis trict. returned yesterday from New York, where he has been on business and also to discuss politics with the leaders in that part of the country.
 Mir. Musgrove says that Hobson is a possibility for the democratic nomina- tion for President, and that if William Jennings Bryan is not nominated at the next convention, Hobson will stand an excellent chance.
 "There are many things in Hobson favor said Mr. Musgrove last night He Is young and energetic, Is a man of wide experience and great ability, and above all he is honest and the people know him to be honest
 While it is too early yet to shape up such things. Captain Hobson fig men, toned favorably in party circles and d number of the prominent politicians in the east assured me that he would have tHtlT support.
 "A great deal depends on the position of Bryan when he comes home He may run or he may not, and in case he does not stand for the nomination. who else is there as available as Hobson. The southern papers have been saying for a good while that 1t was time a south ern man was nominated and many north ern people believe that the da has come for southern man to run for the Pres idency. Hobson is one of the men in the south of Presidential timber. He has grown since the last national con vention, and his victory in the Sixth has brought him into the national limelight. The papers in the east mentioned the possibility of his being nominated and ! was interyiewd on numerous occasions on the subject. All seem to have a good word for Captain Hobson."

PUBLIC SENTIMENT
 RESTRAINS CRIME
l. L. BROCK OF CENTRE THINKS JURlES SHOULD HAVE PROPER BAckING-coMMEN ON THE REGENT LOCAL TRAGEDY.

To the Editor of the Age-Hcrald:
 Your editorial in last Sundays paper furnished some very interesting reading Your protest against the many public shooting scrapes' in your city is very commendable, and you very properly place the blame where it belongs.
 Frequent violations of the law in any community is, as a rule, due to a lax public sentiment. A strong public senti- ment will not only enforce laws and make the guilty pay the penalty when they are violated, but it will restrain the criminally inclined from violating the laws. But I am constrained to believe that your remedy will prove inadequate. You say "the remedy lies in the jury room. How do you expect jurors to enforce the law when there is not a strong moral sentiment back of the jur- ors? Jurors, like the fellow who violates the law, are under the influence of pub lie sentiment, Where you find a lax moral sentiment you will find it not only hard to restrain the evildoer, but it will be hard to enforce the law. It is folly to walt till crime becomes rampant in a town
 
 and call upon jurors to create a better sentiment
 A few months ago an innocent negro was taken from the county jail in Gads- den and lynched by a mob. Some good man, or men, very promptly called mass meeting for the purpose of denounc- ing such conduct. High sounding resolu- tions were offered, strong speeches were made and the same cry went up from Gadsden that we now hear from Brming- ham. Public sentiment was badly at fault. And that was true. But what had these very men been doing to create a good moral sentiment in the town? There is but one way to have such d public sentiment as will respond to the demands of the law. and that is for the people to live right. The forces of Chris tianity must be felt in community, and must be respected.
 There are two influences in every com munity. One seeks to build up; the oth- CT seeks to break down. One wants to elevate society promote morality and raise mankind to a higher citizenship. The other antagonizes everything good. If every man who espouses the right will stand up and repe the evil. there would be no necessity for calling upon the jurors of the court to create better public sentiment. The trouble with you people who are so clamorous for bet ter sentiment is due to the fact that that you compromise too much with the vicious element. You subordinate too much to the establishing of new indus trial enterprises, and to the building of a great city. You never fail to quote the fabulous prices paid for real estate. but never quote the ten commandments. gentleman recently attended Sunday l- xl..o. .t4t, t.x. in Birmingham. a church whose pastor boasted of a membership of seven hun dred. and yet out of that large mem bership there were about seventy-fve in Sunday school.

Habit-forming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many of the so-called patent medicines con taining injurious ingredients as broadly published in some journals of more or less influence, this publicity has certainly been of great benefit in arousing needed attention to this subject, It has. in considerable measure. resulted in the most intelligent people avoiding, such foods and medicines as may be fairly sus- pected of containing the injurious ingre- fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N V. utook time by the forelock," as it were. and published broadcast all the ingredients of which his popular medi- ciEes are composed.

TO IMPROVE SERVICE.
Street Car Company Will Run More
 Cars on Avondale Line.

The Birmingham Railway Light and Power company will shortly improve it's service on the Fountain Heights and Avondale line At present there is a 12- minute service on this line, but when the change takes effect there will be car every eight minutes.
 The schedule is being worked out now and will be out of the printers hands within a few days. The increase in busi- ness on both ends of this line is the cause of the improved service.
 In a few months the company will have a new line to Avondale. It will be built out Avenue C to the city limits of Avon dale and will then run through the city. It will be a shorter line than the present one and will decrease the running time between Birmingham and Avondale.
