OBJECTS TO DELAY.
Commissioner Biddle Recommends
That Grading Be Done at Once.

That Grading Be Done at Once.
After consideration Of request made
by the Southwest Citizens association that
work on the excavation Of 7th street
at Maryland and Virginia avenues, in con-
nection with the elimination of grade cross
ings, be postponed until next spring Engi-
neer Commissioner John Biddle today rec
commended that delay in the work be
authorized. In the letter expressing it's
desires the citizens association stated that
the tearing up Of It'll street at this
time would result in grea inconvenience
to the holiday trade. just now starting, and
that added trouble might be expected on
account of the inclement weather of the
fall and winter months. The position of
the Commissioners in the matter was fully
stated by Col. Biddle when he voted for add
verse action on the request in the following
recommendation:
II move that the Southwest Citizens AS
ISOLATION be informed that the railroad
company is required by law to complete all
of the work of elimination of grade cross
ings on it's line within a time limited by
law, and that this time does not now
tend for much more than one year; that
If the work required by the act of congress
Is not done within that time 1t will not only
cause great inconvenience to the citizens
Of that section, but would also prevent the
Commissioners, without further legislation,
from carrying out the act of congress d-
recting that they shall pay to the railroad
companies the amounts of money to be paid
by the law; that under these circumstances
it does not seem proper to place any ob-
stacles in the way of the railroad company
carrying this work, and, moreover, the
sooner the grade crossings in this section
of the city are abolished the better it will
be for all concerned. 1t does not, there
fore. seem proper to require the railroad
company to put off the excavation work
until spring (Which would really mean
about six months), and at that time the
work would have to be done when the
thoroughfares through the southwest sec
ton. such as 7th and other streets,
would be much Travelled by persons going
to the steamboat wharves. Every effort

Where the Schools Fail.

Twenty years ago We had no difficulty
in obtaining the right kind Of boys from
the graduates of the grammar school. but
today the task is exceedingly difficult be-
cause the boys seem to lack moral fiber.
"Of course no one can doubt for a mo-
ment that a student who Is compelled day
after day to practice good behavior in the
school must receive a certain amount of
moral training. He Is taught punctuality.
neatness. patience, perseverance, honesty
in regard to the welfare of others. and un-
der the teachers eye the observance of
these rules becomes more and more habit
But we have made the serious error of
moral training, not realizing that since
these virtues and habits are learned as
part of the school life. laws. as it were of
the school premises, they apt to become
merely school virtues and school habits I'M

from earnest study, she uses other and

formatory principles to the insstilniion oil
marriage.
There is as yet no s,,elI thing in Japan
as equality between the sexes. The Law
relating TO marriage recognizes no v rongs
except on the part of tile wife, from whom
the husband may obtain divorce BY
merely asserting that he is tired Of her,
or upon any Of the following grounds:
Disobedience jealousy, physical anti.
pathy, talkativeness or theft.
When a girl is abunt to marry, her
mother impresses upon her varions rules
of conduct to be followed during her
welded life. Some Of these are:
"Be always amiable to yonr mothar-in.

Don't talk much.

Municipal Election Complications.

j It has been discovered by some
1of our Brookhaven attorneys that
under the new Code Chapter on
municipalities (Which chapter
went into full force and eject last
i April by Especial provision OF
the Legislature), thai this city is
actually without any registered
voters who are legally qualified to
vote at the regular city election
on the second Tuesday in Decem-
ber.
Section 3433 of the Code (chap-
ter on municipallties), provides,
among other things, that mo per-
son shall be allowed to vote unless
he shall be registered 10 the mu-
nicipality four months before the
election at which he offers to
vote.o
Section 3434 provides for the
appointment of a city registrar
and certain form of oath to be
administered to municipal voters,
but in some way the appointment
Of city registrar and the provid-
ing.of the necessary registration
books and form of oath was over
looked by the Mayor and Board
of Aldermen until too late to meet
the provision requiring registra-
tion four months prior to election
day.
The Board appointed Circuit
Clerk Oliver City Registrar at
their meeting July 3rd, but The.
Leader learns that no new regis
tration books we're provided, and
that as matter of fact, no regis
tration whatever of municipal
voters, as such, has taken place
under the new Code chapter up
to this date, though said chapter
went into effect last April.
1t has been suggested as the
most practicable way out of this
legal dilemma, that white pri-
mary be held by the persons liv-
ing within the corporate limits,
and who are duly registered
and qualified as county electors,
and that the Governor be petl-
toned to appoint the persons thus
nominated by the white electors
to succeed the members of the
present municipal officers when
their terms epxire.
To do this, or 60 directly in the
teeth of the law by ignoring sec
tion 3433 of the new Code, seems
inevitable under the existing
state of facts.
