All Should Register

There are nine voting places IN TINS
city, and registration on the part OF
every qualified elector is necessary In
order that the authorities may know
in what locality citizen lives. Other
wise repeating would be possible. All
previous certificates will be unavailing
unless registration be secured, and the
registration books will be closed to-
morrow night. Every citizen should
register either today or tomorrow.
Let no one think because he holds a
life certificate or is over As years old
that he need not register. All must
register, and there are but two days In
which to do it.
The citizen who sits still thinking
his electoral privileges are complete Is
the one who will be shut out on pri-
mary day, for no one can vote on that
day unless he has previously secured
registration. Give the business there
fore preference today, and tomorrow
see that all your neighbors do likewise.

Police Department

The bill drawn by direction of our
City Council providing that the police
commission be abolished and that the
police force be placed under the con-
troll of the Mayor and Aldermen, is now
in the hands of one of the Jefferson
county members of the legislature,
who, 1t is understood, has promised to
do all in his power to have 1t enacted
into a law. 1t is an important meas
ure and Is in line with the police man
agement of several of the best regu-
lated cities in the United States. Our
fire department is under the super
vision of the Mayor and Aldermen and
it is conceded to be In excellent condi-
ton. If the police force is transferred
to the same body good results will
surely follow.
The people who elect the chief ex-
ecutive of the city naturally hold him
responsible for the management of
every department of the municipal
government, but under the present law
he has little or no official connection
with the police force and therefore has
no control over the men who compose
it. Birmingham of all cities in the
state needs a thoroughly disciplined
police department and the larger the
city grows the more obvious will be
the reasons why every man on the
force should be picked man and I'M
der as strict discipline as the regular
army.
The bill in question originated with
Mayor Ward, who has given the mat
| ter of police regulation the same care
| full attention that he has bestowed on
the details of those branches of the
city government over which he has
supervision. The people always take
an eager interest in mayoralty cleo.
ton and they can be counted on to
choose an honest and capable citizen
for the executive chair; and with an
alert and energetic Mayor at the head
of the police Birmingham would have
model force.
The Jefferson county delegation In
the legislature should see to it that the
City Councils police bill is not side
tracked.

BUFFALO HERDS.

From the Washington Herald.
There are, all told, not more than 1900
buffalo remaining in the United States and
Canada said Mr.. j, C. Jones of Grand
Canyon, Ariz. MIR, Jones has for years
borne the sobriquet of Buffalo Jones" be-
cause of his efforts to perpetuate the bison
breed He is also distinguished for his sue
cessful experiments in crossing the buffalo
with the domestic cattle, producing q
hybrid animal to which he has given the
name of "catalo.' ''The largest herd of
buffalo remaining" said he, lis owned oy
the Flathead Indians of Montana-about
400 The second largest is the Austin Coz
bin estate In New Hampshire Next comes
the herd of Scotty Phillips in North Da-
kota, and there is also fair herd on the
big ranch of Mr.. Goodnight in the Texas
panhandle. The catalo, a cross between
the bison and common cattle, is an ami
NAL that has the traits of both progeni-
tors-not so wild and hard to manage as
the buffalo, and yet good bit shyer than
its dam"

1t will not matter then whit,
The honey or the gall
The summer days that we have known

The garden will be overgrown

Will not have left stain.

The dream we dream together here,

Amid a summer rain.
A hundred years from now, dear heart,
The grief will all be DER;
The sea of care will surge in vain
Upon a careless shore.
These glasses we turn down today,
Here at the parting Of the way,
We shah be wineless then as they,
And will not mind It more.

And kiss me through the rose-leaf rafnS

Riennial Sessions

BY a vote of q yeas to IL nays the
senate passed a bill providing for the
submission to the people of biennial-
session amendment to the constitution
of 1901. The affirmative vote was just
large enough, Just three-fifths, and all
the senators were present but two.
The twelve negative votes came
from Calhoun, Henry, Greene, Dallas
Pike. Dale, Conecuh, Autauga, ITALIA
dega. Madison, Barbour and Marengo
counties. And yet those counties would
no doubt be glad of an opportunity TO
express at the polls their choice be-
tween biennial and quadrennial ses-
sions of the legislature. None OF the
twelve are considered anti-referendum
counties.
The house, let us hope, will give the
people chance to vote upon the prop
osition. 1t is hoped "a squeeze play"
will not be necessary IN the popular
branch of the legislature. We need
frequent referendums in this state, and
the constitution makers of 1901 went
out of their way to render referendums
in relation to constitutional PROPOSE
lions easy and feasible.
The principle of the referendum IS
at stake in this matter. The subject IS
one that should go to the people, ana
no one need doubt what the house will
say when the question of popular ex-
pression on a subject that concerns all
and that must be submitted to all
comes before it. 1t will give the people
n chance to speak for themselves.

Good suunestIon.

mo institution in Birmingham is more
deserving of moral support and financial
aid, perhaps, than the Young Women's
Christian association" said a prominent
citizen. 1T is admirably organized and is
accomplishing much practical good.
1.-The association occupies quarters in
the Watts building where good literature
is provided and where good lunches are
served at nominal prices. A site has been
purchased and paid for on which the as
ISOLATION is to erect a home of it's own.
Less than $4,000 is needed to build and
furnish a eommodious and adequate as
ISOLATION house. Now that Mrs. Russell
is donating her multi-millons to benevo-
lent enterprises it might be worth while
for the president of the Young Women's
Christian association to call her atten-
tion to the work here and the associa-
TONS needs. An appeal would probably
meet with a generous response
