Incidentally, the Police Commissioner Of
New York might be looked upon by the
unemployed az a factor working constantly
and potently in their interest. By the
withdrawal of several hundred policemen
from places where they acted as messengers,
pier guardians or door tenders the Com
missioner has made opportunities for as
many other men and boys to secure em-
ployment. His work in this respect is not
ended. He not only works himself, but
is the cause of others working. The bear
ing of which observation, to be sure, lies
in the application-but is it possible that
this is what his own men are discussing
as they are seen in groups Of two all about
the town?

This reform" is many years old. The first
effort was to reform the spelling OF twelve words,
including thru" and Program" The National
Educational Association adopted the former and
the latter was quite generally accepted. The
progress made in reforming the spelling OF the
twelve words leads us 10 hope that the whole die

A few words in memory, of Mrs. Annie Parker who died June the IS, 1906 at tthe age of 66. We knew Mrs. Parker back in our old state, (Tenneess ee) She professed hope in Christ when young, and she was obed- tent to his commands in baptism and following the footsteps of her master until death. With all of her sufferings in her sickness, she had patience and never mur- mured. She leaves ' children, four boys and three girls to mourn her loss besides her many friends. Her husband G. G. Parker died at the age 76 five years ago. We knew him when young and in his early ministry, he was jealous worker for christ, he was good neighbor, and loving husband and father. Now children grieve no more your father and mother are await ing for you on that bright shore.

ANOTHER GREAT TEACHER.

selma AktteS,
 The Times agrees with the Tuscaloosa
 mes- Gazette in everything that 1t said about Prof. William A. Parker, formerly years and up to a short time ago, a leading educator of the South, and The Times Gazette warmly endorses the idea to have Prof. Parker and Dr. w. S Wyman put on Mr. Carnegies annuity list for valuable services 10 the cause of education. Prof. Parker has devot- ed his entire life to the cause and he richly deserves this recognition at the hands of Mr. Carnegie. He could not find two worthier men in the entire United States than these two upen whom to beatow this honor. When the first article appeared In thls paper City Attorney Young, who graduated at the University, was under the im- pression that these retired Professors were on Mir. Carnegie's annuity list, but it seems that this Is a mistake, from what the Times Gazette has to say about the matter. The only thing that puzzles us is this: How could Mir. Carnegie overlook two such men, while he was looking around for i1aen who Of educafion2 He has bestowed annuf- ties upon men who do not deserve it one third as much as these veteran edu- cafors do. for they have records that cannot he assaiIed.

A wxsm Awr.

Judge William H. Thomas of the Montgomery City Court cannot be too warmly commended for closing his court room to the public yesterday during the trial of Eugene Bowling It is surprising that there are lawyers Of the Montgomery bar ready to condemn and criticise Judge Thomas for his course.
 Much of the testimony in Che Dowl- ing case was revoiting and a consid- erabie portion of 1t came from the lips of women. It was not it for the ears of men or women, It is pity that such testimony Is necessary at all, but when 1t is necessary the con- stitution provides that judge may exercise his discretion in allowing 1t to go to the promiscuous public.
 The Advertiser heartily endorsed this provision of the new constitution when it was pending before the con- vention, Ii was one of the many wise acts performed by that conven- tion.
 Judge Thomas acted under Section 1ea Of the constitution, which provides: Tn all prosecutions for rape and as- sauit with intent to ravish, Che court may. in It's discretion. exclude from the court room all parsons except such as may be necessary in the conduct of the trial"
 Tn the light of this section 1t Is sur- prising that we'll informed lawyers, in- voking the law that makes them cfif- cers of the court, should have ques- tioned the authority ~ Judge Thomas to deny them admission to his court room, during the Bowling trial.
 If there had not been such a law. 1t would seem that members of the bar should have been among the first to approve of Judge Thomas's course in clearing his court room. Certainly the Bowling case Is unsavory enough 10 come under the provision of the constitutional clause.

A auEnR onancTroN.


 The water light over in Columbus de- Telops some queer phases On one side there is a determined effort to ase river water while the other sid ds s equally determined to have nothing sut artesian water. The other night proposition was presented to tha Council. or the water committee. look ing to a plan to secure artesian wa ter. "on condition that it should be taken from the Georgia side of the river"
 That was a dodge, or 8 subterfuge of course. but what has Columbus against Alabama? Time was when Alabama was looked on by Georgia as her child. to be admonished, scoIded, spanked and otherwise disciplined as the mother saw fit. but lhat day has passed. We have grown to be about as big as Our parent, and the celum- bus people, some of them, Gars both jealous and snvious. They don't want to feel under obligations to Alabama for anything. not even pure drinking water. We suspect that some of them are so ''bIggity" that they would re- fuse to take drink of whiskey made from Alabama corn.
 And these men who buck at Ala bama water are advocates of the Chat tshoochee as source of supply. 1i they will look on the map they will find that quite a number of Alabama streams flow into the river above Co., lumbus. If they insist on using the river as a source of supply for their city they. will have to invent some new plan Of straining it, else they will get some Alabama water mixed with it and that might upset their disaphragms.
 Seriously, we are unable to under. stand the persistent determination ex- hibited by Columbus to use river water and nothing else. If the city can got that water at less cost, and is unable to pay for anything peter. they are to be pitied instead of blamed, but they ought to come out and admit the truth and not beat around the bush. They know that the water from the Chatta- hoOchee is not good for drinking pur - poses and they know that they can gel g ge0d and pure water from this side, but obstinacy, prejudice or something else seems to dominate some of those having the matter in charge. We beg to assure them that the pure water which can be obtained on this side the river will not injure any one who is accustomed to using water as a beverage.
