Employers Liability Act.

Two decisions from federal courts, the one at Louisville and the other at Memphis came within forty eight hours of each other, and both held that the employers liability act is uncon- stitutional. Under the common law an employe assumes the whole risk of his employment whether trouble comes through want of equipment or through the carelessness of a fellow employe, and the general government attempts in the employers liability law to change the common law rule in the employees favor when engaged in in- judges sitting in inferior courts decid- ed that the right to regulate interstate commerce does not cover liabilities growing out of the relations between employer and employe. The cases will be at once carried to the United States supreme court, and in due course of time an authoritative decis. ion will be rendered.
 The fear is that if the decisions of Judge Mccall at Memphis and of Judge Walter Evans at Louisville are upheld the pure food law, and the eight hour bill, the child labor bill, and even the rate law may also be declared uncon stitutional. But the supreme court as 1t is at present constituted can be trusted to act independent of Wall street and in a broad and just spirit. The entire question is really one of Legislation and broad politics, court being justified so far as the letter of the constitution is concerned in decid- ing either way.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-01-14

From the Cleveland (O) Plain Dealer.
 According to the Chicago Tribune, the total embezzlements in the United States during 1906 have amounted to S14,7395S, a sum about $5.000,OOO greater than during the year preceding In spite of this com parlson, however, the Tribune does not feel that dishonesty is on the increase in this country. The large figures are due to a few heavy individual defalca- tions, and the actual number of offenders is smaller than for several years preced- ing.
 Of the total $10745, ,3S7 was stolen by of ficials of banks, sufficiently startling figure. Certain it is that Cleveland and misfortune through this particularly hate misfortune through this particularly hate full variety of stealing Many towns in thls vicinity have suffered heavily, for such a blow seems to fall with more force in smaller places than in great cities. The bankers are known and hon ored by all their fellow w-townsmen. and are the recipients of universally implicit trust. Their defalcations reduce families of moderate means to the verge of star vation and paralyze the trade and indus try of the community.
 Undoubtedly the recent outbreak of crime in this section was merely spas modic. Confidence In banks and bankers remains unshaken, despite the roguery of a few unworthy officials. Lorain, Con neaut Oberlin, Wooster Gallon and other towns have bravely weathered their storms and have again come into the calm waters of financial trustfulness. It Is unlikely that the present generation will again see such a remarkable localized outbreak of this peculiar form of knav- cry
 A valuable lesson has been taught by the defalcations of recent years. Bank of ficials are chosen with the greatest care, and the employees selected are more and more men of whose sterling honesty there cannot be the slightest question. Of course 1t is impossible in every case to judge human character alright. A few thieves have always paraded in saints clothing, and always will, and they will occasionally succeed in deeeivlng the shrewdest readers of character. But the danger is constantly being minimized, and the examples of the bank thieves. in- stead of encouraging others to emulation, will undoubtedly in the end have salu- tary effect in the wedding out of the doubtful ones and the weak-kneed.

New Building Is Proposed.

"One of the principal propositions that will be counsidered by the committee on reorganization that was recently appoint ed in the Commercial club of Birmingham will be the erection of an appropriate building for the club said President Robert Jemison, Jr, of the organization yesterday.
 "A meeting of the committee will be called soon after the cotton convention adjourns to consider plans for the entire reorganization of the Commercial club. With the growing importance of the or ganization and the rapidly increasing membership it is felt that the organiza- ton should be equipped with a modern building, and it is believed that the added strength will warrant an early movement of this kind
 "The Commercial club has been able to accomplish several valuable undertakings in the past few months and has received new impetus from the several sue cesses that have been achieved. We hope to be able to accomplish many things for the good of the Birmingham district dur ing the present year, and to more easily do these things the membership is being increased, and the special committee on reorganization will endeavor to put the club on a better footing every way"

NOT AFRAID OF FEM.

Henry Beech Needham contributes to the January issue of Success Magazine" a forceful and Illuminating account of the achievements of Francis J. Heney, tho man who unearthed the gigantic land frauds in the west.
 His rolling stone' days, he says, came home to bless, rather than to torment him. His remarkably varied life was a in which his counsel was sought. Re- member: he had been teacher, pros pector, miner. ranehman, and manager of an Indan-trader's store-in all of which capacities he had served accept ably. Can any one imagine a better school to produce student-a master of human nature? Heney is acknowledged to be a veritable wizard with a jury.
 He rapidly forged to the front of his profession In the territory During the second Cleveland administration he ably filled the position of attorney general of Arizona. Indeed. he was called on to bring suits against personal friends, to recover public money which had been H. legally taken. This he did without fear or favor, but the experience disgusted him with territorial politics. Had Ari- zona been admitted to the Union when Utah was made a state. Heney would undoubtedly have been elected to the United States Senate. Because of Pres ident Cleveland's uncompromising opposi- tion, statehood looked to be far away. The repeal of the Sherman Act was a heavy blow to silver mining. This was before the discovery of gold, and prior to the present extensive development of the copper deposits The cattle indus try was also in a bad way. Heney thought 1t wise to shake the alkali dust the only way he could get out of polite j.. Therefore, at thirty-five, he left Arizona for good; and he left behind him law practice of s20,O00 a years He sold all his books on criminal law, and. until he was called into the Oregon land fraud cases, he devoted himself entirely to civil practice.
 Restored to vigorous health, he returned to San Francisco, where he has since lived. During the first year he did not pay expenses, but since that time his practice has grown very large and ex- tremely lucrative. Ills earnings as a lawyer rank with those of the leaders of the bar on the Pacific coast.

SUNFOWER PHILOSOPHY.
dickinson Globe.

From the dickinson Globe.
 When a letter jumps from the first to the fourth page and then back to the second 1t never says anything very inn portant.
 A man who would scorn to lie about his neighbors will cheerfully lie about his country and regard himself as something of reformer for doing it.
 Some people are so stubborn and so contrary that you can only convince them they are wrong by agreeing with them.
 It is a hard matter for a man who believes as you do to carry his ideas to the extreme where you will call him a fanatic.
 About six months after a man has married he begins to discover that he has to get twice as mad as formerly to have his wrath count for half as much
 When a stranger arrives in country town and remains more than two days without telling his business people agree that he Is either a detective or gam bler

Street Crowds.

''I know that a Birmingham man smiles when someone calls attention to the crowds on the streets of Birmingham, but still it is remarkable to me every time have to walk several blocks on the streets in good weather" said a well known citizen yesterday.
 ''I was on the streets last night, be- tween 7:SO and o'clock and 1t was all I could do to get through the crowds with comfort. Such crowds do not originate in cities of less than 100000 inhabitants, for it requires at least that many people to produce such crowds as Birmingham has on her streets.
 Atlanta. which boasts a much larger population than Birmingham; Montgom- cry. Chattanooga, Nashville and even Memphis, cannot produce such crowds day in and day out as Birmingham has. The Atlanta crowds look larger than Bir- mingham crowds because the streets and sidewalks there are so much narrower than ours, and because everything Is con- gested in Atlanta"

MODEL STREET RAILWAY

Under the same franchise the company receives cents for single cash fares. but these are paid mostly by non-residents. the townspeople using the tickets
 The company's relations with it's em- ployes seem to furnish an object lesson in the fabrication of corporate machinery, Many of the motormen and conductors have been with the company from ten to fifteen years A few have served contin- uously for thirty years.
 There is an established working day Of nine hours and voluntary service of more than nine hours Is paid extra. The com pany some years ago inaugurated a sys- tenn of profit sharing with its employees and the result has been not only to en- phasize the good will prevailing toward the corporation among the men, but 1t has also tended to increase the efficiency of the service.
 The profit sharing dividend Is paid on total amounts of wages earned at the same ratio per cent, as is paid to stock holders on the stock, and the system ex- tends to employees In all departments. In order to be entitled to a dividend em- ployes must have worked six months con- tinuously prior to dividend paying day.
 The company also furnishes to conduc- tors and motormen having been in the employ of the company for five years one uniform suit-each year, and to those hav- ing been in the employ ten years two uni form suits each year. At Christmas time this company has for the last several years distributed to their married em- ployes turkey and to the single one a silver dollar
 Another feature of the company's gratu- tiles is the employees annual picnic, at which time free transportation over the lines of the company and an outing for employees and their families are given
 The Columbus company paves, cleans and sprnlles the streets traversed by it's lines between the tracks and for a con- siderable distance on each side. It Is well known in the city that tue street repair work of the company Is the chief factor in maintaining these thoroughfares.

Hearst.McClelIan Ballots.

Mayor Mcclellan made great polit- ical mistake when he objected to and really thwarted a recount of the votes cast in the mayoralty election of 1905. That mistake has taken away much of his popularity, and all his enemies stand ready to assert that he was not elected.
 The new attorney general of New York is a Hearst democrat, and he has begun an action contesting Mayor Me Clellan's right to act as mayor at all, and bringing all the disputed ballot boxes into the court to be handed over to the attorney general. There are over 600,000 ballots in the boxes, and Mayor McClellan's declared plurality was less than four thousand. The story that will come out of those boxes in a recount cannot even be guessed at.
 An officer of the trial court in New York has not found as yet all the boxes, and the particular boxes In which fraud is charged are missing. The entire business promises to be- come another political scandal, and Mayor Mcclellan may become the chief victim of the struggle. He has already suffered severely from the charges and countercharges in the case, and if he blocks the way to a recount he will lose his hold on the people, and he was once the most promising politician in New York. Not a few expected then to see him made president.
 Whoever in this country fails to re- spect ballot box Is as good as lost ir the eyes of the people. He becomes In their eyes tainted with fraud, ever though he be wholly innocent of any overt act It is the willingness to sup press the truth-to defy public sentl- ment-to substitute force for a plain aboveboard count, that angers voters and this is just where Mayor McClel Ian stands today. He made the mis take of his life when he opposed re- count.
