SIDEWALK PENClLINGS
Capture of the Burglars.

apout fhteen days said citizen yes read of the wholesale capture of the burglars by the police during my ab- sence It certainly did me good to point point to the fact that, although bur, glars had infested Montgomery for t time. our people had not stopped until they hao the guilty ones
 The catches afforded me especial pleasure because there had been so much said about burglaries in. Mont gomery, and the frightened people were pesinning to critictse the authorities Tor lack of vigilance. but l tell you a burglar is one of the hardest kind Of criminals to land. and when you have arrested one. and have evidence to con- wet him. you have done a good piece Since I have returned to the city I haven't heard of any more residences belng entered. and l suppose that the burglars have all been caught or that those remaining are afraid to try their hand again. and have probably migrated to some other town to experiment.
 We have as efficent police depart ment as any city of Ike size in this country. Chief Taylor and Captain smith have my warmest commenda- tion.
 RatlrOad Mn :.nd Passes.
 We railroad people are beseiSed With questions regarding pass condi- ciaI yesterday I've know very little about 1t ourselves We only know that after a certain time there will be no more passes Issued except to employees of the roads.
 We do not see the justice of the law, and we do not believe the action taken is constitutional But all we can do IS to submit and liveup to our instructions That the new law will work hard ship on the railroads. as well as on the public, is sometimes overlooked entire There are those who do not believe that the law will hold. but as there has been no effort on the part of the rati- road companies to fight 1t. we are in no position to even express an opinion in the matter.
 Like all other innovations the new law will be tried, and if 1t does not change. Railroad men generally be- lieve that there will be a change"
