BOYS BREAK MAIL BOXES

City UrchIns Destroy Rural Delivery
conveniences in Golden Valley.
Two small boys, evidently desiring to
become real bad men, smashed several
rural delivery mail boxes in the Golden
Valley district yesterday and ran toward
the city with their plumber. The BOYS
were seen in the act Of plundering the
boxes and, some of the owners gave
chase. The boys were too swift and
reached the city before the police could
be notified to watch for them.

declares. In discussing private schools
as compared with those maintained by

More Money From Convicis.

The convicts that no industrial plant
will accept are kept at Speigner's,
where the state has a cotton mill. In
nineteen months that mill has earned
for the state $55,2S1, and a night shift
is to be organized, and still larger
profits are anticipated.
Few indeed of the convicts will be
a charge upon the taxpayers when the
mill at Speigners is developed and
pushed to its utmost capacity. Only
those stricken with disease will then
be a burden, and all the rest will be
earners of money. The cotton mill
promises to be a good rival of the coal
mines operated by the state.
Whatever Governor Jelks touches
seems to turn to money, and when he
goes out of office he will leave the
states convict system in a position to
earn big sum every year. 1t is idle
to compare results in Governor Jelks'
term with those in any other term, for
there were no considerable earnings
by the convicts until Governor Jelks
took hold of the subject and worked
a business revolution in it.

Southern Roads and the New Law.

The Washington correspondent of
the Chicago Record-Herald states in
substance that in a recent meeting Of
lawyers and traffic managers at At
lantic City the southern railroads de-
cided to combat the new rate law
when 1t goes into effect on August g.
The nature of the proposed campaign
Is unknown, but If it is to be made
no doubt there will be a seeking of
flaws all along the line.
The Age-Herald ventures the hope
that the information of the Record
Herald will not be permitted to crys-
tallize into war ON the rate bill from
southern sources. The best way to
discredit an unwise law is to apply
1t fully without evasion or opposition.
Accept it in all its breadth, and in
tnat way friends can be gained for
needful notifications of it. The new

and an attempt to Illustrate or de-
moralize that law at the outset would
assuredly render public opinion still
more insistent.
The railroads Of Alabama are an
essential part Of the commonwealth,
They have done much to develop this
state, and there is no reason why there
should be feeling of antagonism be-
tween them. A frank acceptance of
the new law would go far to remove
prejudice and Ill feeling. The great
object of the new bill Is to remove
discrimination of all Sorts, and in that
matter the railroads and the public
should pull together, for what is to the
interest of the one is to the interest
of the other. Let them pull harmoni-
ously together under the new law. and
all yet will be well for both.

Vulcan By the Sea.

After the jokers have exhausted
their wit over Vulcan thoughtful peo-
pie should begin to consider the set
ting up of the statue at the James.
town exposition. Why should 1t not
be placed on pedestal of Alabama
marble by the side of the sea at the
first gateway to the iron and coal
fields of the south?
The subject should not be laughed
out of court by the thoughtless. 1t
should not be decided by the jibes and
jeers Of the ribald. It should be duly
weighed, considered and determined.
A permanent pedestal should be
contracted for, and on it the big iron
man should be placed and then both
should be turned over to the city of
Norfolk, or to the authorities of Hamp-
ton Roads.

The Commercial club should call a
meeting, and submit the proposition
to the subscribers of the Vulcan fund.
The matter deserves serious treatment
and early consideration. 1t can not
be put aside with a sheer or a jeer.
1t is an earnest proposition for earn

cred the more satisfactory will appear

Gold Cominu This Way.

Two things are causing gold to
flow, SO to speak, this way. The one
relates to the socalled trade balance.
Our exports exceeded our imports in
the last fiscal year to the big aggre-
gate of SSH, 14S,000-a balance never
exceeded save by the $664,592,000 OF
1901, the $544,541 900 of 1900, the
s529,S74 900 of 1899, and the $615,432
900 of 1898.
These balances may not be real bal.
ances. There may be freight money
to be taken out, and the tourists ex-
penses, and interest due on loans, and
the like to be subtracted in order to
ascertain the true balance, and no one
has ever yet been able to name the
real, unquestioned balance of fiscal
year.
But some of these deductions are
offset by the inflow of foreign capital
for investment in this country. Ameri-
can railroads are placing large loans
in Europe, and English, French and
German bankers are sending money

Only One Week More.

On Wednesday next volcanic politics
that daily erupt all sorts of foul mat
ter will be brought to an end in Geor-
gia, and the coed people of that state
will welcome the change. The Column
bus Enquirer says the Alabama cam
paign is spring zephyr alongside the
Georgia hurricane. 1t must be con-
fessed that crops and general business
have not been neglected in this state
in order to indulge in the game Of pol
itics. The truth is, we have had too
little politics, while Georgia has had
altogether too much of the article,
but our apparent Indifference to the
appeals of candidates may be made
good by full attendance at the polls
on Monday week.
The democratic vote of this state in
1904 was 1887; in 1902, it was 67,763
in gubernatorlal election, and in 1900
the democrats came out to the number
of 115,167 to vote for William Jen-
nings Bryan. A primary vote should
be a full vote because it is the real
popular event, and the vote polled on
Monday week should not be less than
10000, and vote that goes in the ag-
gregate to 100000 is wholly possible
and wholly desirable. The voter may
have been doing. great deal of think
ing while he was staying at home at
tending to business.
During this week the last calls to
voters will be printed in the sixty
seven counties of the state. If, in
stead of last calls, each paper would
print the official ballots of it's locality,
the voter would get the help he most
needs in the coming primary. The
Alabama voter does not need this
week advice so much as he does facil-
tiles for making selections from long
lists of candidates.

FOR ELEVATED BOULEVARD.
Engineers Plan Street Level Subway
In San Francisco.

From the San Francisco BulletrA
Reed & Co., engineers and contractors,
submitted to the supervisors Saturday
details of scheme for an elevated boule-
ward from the ferry to Third street on
Market, to carry all lighter traffic and
pedestrians, leaving the present level of
the street, which would serve as a sub
way. without the expense of excavation,
to electric passenger and freight cars and
heavy trucking The company agrees to
accept the cty's bonds, payable In thirty
years, for the work, and sets s., 100000 as
the price for which they will realize the
plan.
The scheme includes the construction
of an arcade and park at the ferry, ele-
waited crossings for pedestrians at inter-
secting streets, elevated approaches to
the boulevard from the same and tun-
mel under Market, from Third to Kearny.
The promoters point out that the vast ex-
pense incurred by other cities In pro-
viding for their rapid transit lines, such
as dsposing of sewers, electric lines, and
water mains, will all be obviated by the
present situation. consequent on the fire.
In addition the elevated boulevard would
become a part of the new steel buildings
to be erected along the street and bind
them together so as to render them earth
quake proof
The center of the proposed boulevard Is
occupied by a park the ornamentation
of which Is included In the estimates
At convenient intervals there are sta
lions for the subway, after the New York
plan At the ferry the handling of pas
sengers is provided for with a series of
circular switches, each car being thrown
to Its own platford by a switchman, who
would have to cross any track to get a
desired car, but would step into the ap-
propriate booth and wait until the car
would be switched alongside.
1t is claimed by the promoters that cleo
trio cars could be operated at any de-
traffic crossing the tracks throughout the
length of the subway. Passengers from
the ferries who did not desire to take
passage in a car would pass out onto the
elevated boulevard, where accommoda-
| lions are provided for carriages and auto
mobiles. and where the sidewalks enter
the esplanade along the park. Ornamental
electric light fixtures potted palms. trees,
grass plats, all are provided for, with
| extensive arcades and other architectural
| features
