construct a roadway and sidewalk from
the public road to the Stanton School, Good

the impaired condition of the plumbing at
this school and asked for immediate RENE
dy In asking for this road and sidewalk,
the associa ton stated that the school build
ing is long distance from the public road.
and that there is no suitable roadway or
sidewalk connecting them, making walk
ing Objectionable and inconvenient.
Henry Story, superintendent of repairs,
to whom the request was referred, has re-
ported to the Commissioners that board
walk from the school to the public road
hes been constructed, and the lack of funds
would not justify at the present the con-
struction of a graded roadway. However,
the Commissioners will keep the request
under consideration for their next estimates
to Congress.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
In an editorial of your issue of the
2Sd, inst, In reference to ladies adorn-
ing their hats with the plumage of birds,
you say: Game Commissioner Wallace
announces his intentions to let the good
women of Alabama wear the plumage of
birds caught or shot in distant lands"
OF course, he can't prevent that. But,
you say further for him, He does not
propose to be over-nquisitive in this. mat
ter" l hope this does not mean that
Mr.. Wallace will wink at the violation of
this law by anybody for any purpose.
II it is law, II ought to be obeyed by
the highest, as well as the lowest. If
1t is law, and is violated. the penalty
should be inflicted on all alike. There
has been a protest In some quarters for
years that so many innocent and beautiful
birds are deprived of their Gods given
lives in order that their plumage may
adorn the hats of the women. 1t Is not
right. 1 have an idea that what the
women want is ito be in the fashion"
If were fashionable to adorn their
hats with anything else, they would as
son have that as feathers. The whole
problem can be solved, all the ladies
can be satisfied, and Mr.. Wallace can
enforce the law and save his scalp, by
making something fashionable besides
feathers in adorning hats. But, let the
la be enforced whether the ladies are
satisfied or not, and whether Mr.. Wallace
saves his scalp or not. s. P. WEST.
