State Superintendent Sencs Out
Circular Letter
RELATIVE TO COMPULSORY ATTENOAY CE
HE CLAIMS THAT LAW IN SOME
INSTANCES CANNOT BE
ENFORCED.

There are some details in the COM
pulsory education law which do not
appeal to Superintendent of Public In
struction r. B. Bryan, and he makes
that patent in a circular letter. NE
letter itself explains why it was is
sued
In his letter Superintendent Bryan
says in part:
Il frequently receive inquiries in re-
gard to the blanks that are supposed
to be prepared by this office upon
which school directors are required,
by one of the provisions of section 9
of the compulsory education law, to
report to the state board of education
vision for the enforcement Of the law
in their respective districts. For the
information of all parties and to set at
rest all matters pertaining to this Sec
ton, l issue this circular letter.
PREDATORY to a brief discussion of
this distinguished section 9, and with
the most profound respect for the au-
thor of it, whoever he may be, 1 must
say that he certainly had no more con-
ception of the practical workings of it's
provisions than a canary bird has of
the mechanism of a Hoe perfecting
press.
What are the provisions of this re-
markable section?
First: The penalty for a failure to
make the provisions referred to is the
loss to the delinquent district Of %
per cent. of its state school fund Let
me ask, in all candor, what per cent
of the delinquent districts would re-
port the facts, in view of the penalty
attached to such delinquency? Nine
tenths of the delnquents would either
make false reports, whitewashes or no
reports at all. There are about $500
school districts in the state, and it
would be utterly impossible for the
state superintendent to determine, be-
fore the annual meeting of the state
board of education, whether all dis
tricts had reported or not, nor would
it be possible for him to determine
this matter before the latter part of
August.
Besides, it is not made his duty to
ascertain any facts in connection with
this matter. 1t is manifestly cOntem-
plated that the state board of educa-
ton shall receive and examine all
these reports and ascertain what dis
tricts are delinquent

Our Veteran Senators.

The announcements by Senators Mor- gan and Pettus that they will seek nominations at the hands of the demo- crats of Alabama in the coming pri- mary had been anticipated by a gen eral, almost unanimous, resolve on the part of those democrats to nominate and re-elect them anyway. They have honored the state in the highest legis- latiye body in the world, and the peo- pie of this state will honor them in their primary.
 No paranel exists in the long record of the Senate that approaches the careers of John Tyler Morgan and Edmund Winston Pettus. No United States Senator is more widely known than our senior Senator, and no Sena- tor is more popular than the man who fought on Lookout, and who did not begin his senatorial career until he was well advanced in years. Both are highly regarded by their brother Sen ators and both are strong where Sen ators should be.
 Not less remarkaple Is the support they are receiving daily from the sixty seven counties of the state. Every aspirant recognizes the fact that they are invincible before the people-that their names have become household words-that they are to be kept in the Senate as long as they may live. Com ing from one town and appealing there fore to no locality, this unanimity Is indeed remarkable.
 Our veteran Senators will be kept in their seats by the great questions that are constantly coming up until mid summer, and in the hot days interven- ing between the adjournment of Con gross and the primary they should be told by Chairman Mallory that their services on the stump will not be needed. Alabama knows them well, and no one desires to see them face the heats of midsummer unnecessarily,

Liberalism in Gre at Britain.

When a British Parliament was elected in the fall of 1900 the tories and unionists elected 402 members; the liberals, 1S6, and the natlonalists S2. In the elections of this month, now concluded, the nationalists secured S4 seats, and the tories but 160. The re- maining 426 seats go to the liberals and the laborites, who will be apt to pull together and for that matter the nationalists will be pretty sure to pre- fer them to the tories. The ministerial strength will, in other words, be about b10, as against tory majority in 1900 of 134.
 But the liberal vote pure and simple will be 376 in House made up of 67O members, thus showing a clear major ity over all of about forty.
 The nationalists can not demand home rule for Ireland as the price of their S4 votes, because the Premier does not need those votes. The Premier
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-01-31

is, however, a firm believer in home rule, and he may take steps that will in the end lead up to it.
 All parties will court the labor vote, which is hereafter to be potential in English politics. The British working man has just discovered how strong he is. He has secured fifty seats, and he proposes to double that number in the next election.
 But the next election may not occur until 1913. The tories are greatly dis organized by the Chamberlain protec- ton proposition, and 1t is not believed they can be reorganized much before the septennate period has run it's course. They can not become formid- able then unless the liberals make great mistakes. Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman is above all things a safe man who keeps in touch with the peo- ple and he will not be apt to cross public sentiment unnecessarily.

Better Order.

There has been remarkable change in the order maintained by the police department on the South Highlands, since Policeman Dickson was stationed at Five Points as a call officer several months ago." said a man who lives on Highland avenue.
 Some time ago policemen were few and far between on the Highlands. We scarcely ever saw an officer and when anything happened it was so long before an officer could reach the Highlands that the offender almost always escaped. Chief Wier stationed Policeman Dickson at Five Points and now there are few bur glarles, fewer fights, we have less trouble with the boys, and in fact, offenses of all kinds are on the decrease. The officer can be found at Parker's drug store and the people have learned to call him up at that place.
 "I remember time when ladies hesi- tated about catching a car at Five Points Nearly always a crowd of negroes was gathered around some of the stores. They were rowdyish and frequently used pro- fane language. Now, there Is never crowd and no profane language Is being heard. The white boys who made Five Points their headquarters, were frequent ly troublesome, but now they never worry any one"

HOW IT WORKED.

From the Kansas City Journal
 "When I first came to Kansas and found that the state had no grand jury system l thought surely I was beyond the limits of civilizations" said Col. Bill Hackney the other day "So I immediately became a reformer and started an agita- ton for a law creating grand juries. was sent to the legislature two or three terms and at each session tried to get a grand jury law through, but failed. Then I went to the Senate for couple of terms and kept up my fight, but failed
 ''Then as & member of the third house for a couple of terms I threw my in fiuence in favor of grand jury bill every time one showed up. Finally. after seven teen years of ceaseless toll, I was amply rewarded. A grand jury law was passed I went home happy I had helped to do something to protect the rights of the people.
 "In order to see how the thing worked the people of my own county, where the agitation had been the fierciest. had a grand jury called, and I was the first man indicted. was accused of betting on elec- ton"

A ouestIon of Llaht.

T regret to know" said an observant citizen last night. that a suit has been filed in the chancery court seeking to force the Birmingham Realty company to remove the pedestals which support the two large electric light standards in front of it's building. The petition alleges that the pedestals obstruct the sidewalk, but from my viewpoint they are no in- convenience whatever to pedestrians. They project but a little way from the build- ing. Moreover, when the electric stand ards are lighted afternightfall, they il- illuminate the sidewalk for a considerable distance and contribute not a little to the safety and comfort of passers-by. The removal of these pedestals would mar, I think, one of the handsomest buildings in the city and rob that portion of First avenue of very pleasing effect. In view of the fact that the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, after thorough con- sideration, decided emphatically that the pedestals do not constitute nuisance, it is difficult to isee how the filing of the suit can be justified on the ground of public good. I am sure that all lovers of the artistic in architecture will agree with me that these pedestals should be allowed to stand.'

Our Parcel Post.

This country is progressive in all transportation matters save one-the parcels post. Up to 1875 merchandise was carried in packages not exceeding four pounds at the rate of one cent for each two ounces. In that year the ex- press companies got busy, and the rate was doubled, and the doubling has stood ever since, greatly to the incon- venience of the back districts, and the higher taxation of all districts.
 In France now a seyen-pound parcel can be sent by post for 12 cents, an eleven-pound one for Is cents, and one of twenty-two pounds for 25 cents. In this country the charge on sevon pounds, in two packages, is $1.12; on eleven pounds, in three packages, SIPS, and on twenty-two pounds, in six pack ages, $3.52. In Great Britain the weight limit is eleven pounds, and the charges are cents for one pound cents for two pounds, 10 cents for three pounds, 12 cents for four pounds and "A cents for eleven pounds. Much the same conditions exist under our foreign par cels post conventions, with the result that a package of merchandise weigh ing four pounds six ounces can be sent from Germany to any address in the United States for 3S cents, while 1t costs 64 cents for four-pound package mailed in one of our own postofices to the same address.
 A multitude of places not reached by express companies would welcome the restoration of the rate of 1874; Post, master General Cortelyou recommends a change to that rate, and an organiza- ton has been perfected to push bill through Congress. It will again be tussle between the people and the ex- press companies, and Congress is still subject to influences of secret nature. A rate of 1 cent for each two ounces on general merchandise would be a downright benefit to millions of peo- pie. and 1t will be strange indeed if the express companies can again defeat the proposition.
