of the United States the constitution says that 1t shall extend, among other things between "a state and citizens of another state," and between citizens of different states" Under thus provision foreign cor porations (under the fourteenth amend ment citizens of another state) have the right to remove to the federal courts suits brought against them in the state courts But Alabama was not satisfied with the federal constitution. It determined to re- peal 1t. So 1t passed law that any for efgn corporation removing a suit to a fed eral court should have it's license to do business revoked. This preposterous stat ute was treated as a nullity by Judge Jones of the federal court in Alabama. and he enjoined its enforcement But the secretary of state of Alabama has as little respect for court orders as the Ala bama legislature has for the federal con stitution. So he revoked the license pre- cipitating conflict that is likely to have most important effects. This time the Southern cannot compromise. The issue must be fought to a square conclusion.
 The Alabama incident, as the one in North Carolina has done, will greatly strengthen the movement for some form of national incorporation of corporations doing an interstate business. Recently, through fear of President Roosevelt, many railroad managers have become states rights men-have thrown their in- fiuence against any extension of federal authority, even though implying greater federal protection. These views are likely to be modified in view of recent state be- havior-already there are signs of re- turn to the idea that 1t Is better to have one master than forty-flve. It Is not i'm possible that in the not distant future many of the lawyers who were so fiut- tered by Secretary Roots speech, and pvh n Gn d1xr ft,1t, ,tv,of ft,,r, against the increase of national supervis- ion that President Roosevelt has been vaguely advocating, will be Arguing out of the other side of their mouths.

, adapted to conditions in Birmingham. The word is German and means. lit arally translated. children garden i. e., place where the best conditions are provided for the natural and complete development of children. The kinder garten is not d school, and those who have the care of the children are not teachers. but kindergarteners. The na- tural activity and love of play in the children are rather encouraged than re- pressed, but this self-actiVity Is direct ed In such d way that the children are unconseiously forming habits of body and mind which are the foundations of education. The true Kindergarten is a place where the child finds play recog nized and exalted and not put under the ban, as in many homes. Here, too the individual preferences and disposi- tions of all are respected; every good impulse is strengthened and every bad one thwarted as much as possible, and an atmosph ere of love and mutual help fitness continually surrounds the child ren. If it is play, it is play with a new meaning.
 In the crowded districts of a great city it is a blessed work to gather the ragged little ones into the kin dergarten, wash and clothe them, feed them and smile upon them and in hundred ways show them a gimlpse of better life. But the real kindergar- teners work is to take these children and the children of the other classes in society as well and teach al lof them the first steps in a noble, useful life.
 The broad culture obtained by thorough Kindergarten training is com ing to be valued for itself alone. There is no other field for study where young women can get so good preparation for the varied duties of life.

DID THE SOUTHERN BLUNDeR
When It Went to Federal Court or
 When 1t Withdrew?

From the New York Globe.
 A most distressing contest was brought to end by the agreement signed by the representatives of the Southern railway and Governor Glenn of North Carolina. The noisy and ridiculous dispute concern ing state rights and federal encroach- ment was temporarily quleted by it-but it seems to be something of a question whether disposition of the matter was the best one The meekness of the railroad in North Carolina seems to have encour- aged the outbreak against 1t in Alabama. Governor Conner envies the laurels of Gov ernor Glenn.
 Explaining his exploitation. President Finley of the Southern has said
 Our appeal to the courts resulted in most serious embodiment of the Southern railway with the state of North Carolina It is not in the interest of the company that such Q condition of affairs should arise or continue, and rather than suffer through so serious a difference 1t was bet ter for the company to yield even that which was its clear right.
 It was not to the publics interest that the infiammatory denunciations of Gov ernor Glenn should continue. Many per sons who thoroughly believe in the South erns rights no doubt felt that it should sacrifice matters of substance if by so doing it would silence the pugnacious chief executive. His words were ire brand, and the ignition of several other governors had taken place.
 Yet quickly it has shown that the World was right in its declarations:
 It is certain that the Southern railway either blundered when it appealed to the federal courts or that it blundered when it permitted itself to be driven out of them.
 The investment that was made for peace has returned no dividends. If Gov ernor Glenn had not won his easy victory it is doubtful whether Governor Conner would have been so truculent. Compli- ance in North Carolina has led to trouble in Alabama. In one state the controversy was over whether the railroad company could be compelled to do business at what it claimed was a loss: in the other as to whether it can do business at all.

| C EVERAL young women graduates of the Kindergarten training
 >| school of Birmingham have ac- cepted kindergarten positions in other cities. The Kindergarten board in this city gives them up most reluctantly to broader field of work, but the fact that they received their training in Br- mngham indicates the remarkable de- yelopment of the training school and establishes Birmingham as one of the foremost Kindergarten centers in the southern states.
 Miss Carrie Ullman who is so well known in Kindergarten work in this city, will go to Dallas, Tex, to engage in settlement work. The inducements offered Miss Ullman were so strong as to make her decision to enter settlement work a wise one. The board fully re- alized the wisdom of such a decision, but regrets exc 2edingly to lose so ca pablo teacher. The members of the board feel, however, that one of the best results of the training school is shown by the broad recognition of it's work in other sections.
