SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
PREsBYTERIANs CONSIDER MARION
 OFFER.
Committee Appointed By synod Holds e Meeting and VIII Make Its Full Report This
 Week.

Marion. Dec. 1--(Special.) )-The Com. mittee of the Tuscaiosa Presbytery. ap- pointed by the Synod on Female Edu- cation, composed of Rev. J. F. Ander- son, ]. Greenwood, Hev. F. B. Robin, son of Selma, Judge T. w. Coleman of Eutaw, Rev. w. Bruce Dolye or Ma rton, and Rev. W. B. Keaiy, held a con- ference with the old Board of frHstees of the Marion Female Seminary yes> terday, with the purpose of buying or leasing this school property and to convert the same into state Prespy- terian School for Girls.
 The Marion Seminary was estab- Iished in 1897 as non-sectarian school and barring a few years Of intermis- mission, has been regularly conducted during all these years. There Is hard- Iy a State in the Union where there cannot be found an alumnac of this old school, and there are many Tn Europe. Tn the Southern States there are few communities that do not contain more or less students of this old school, rang ing in age from young women yet In their teens to grand-mothers, and so well has been the training that the Marion Female Seminary lays claim to being the mother of Southern chivafry statesmanship and religious and educa- tional progress.
 On account of the advanced age of Professor Wade, the last superintend- ent. he was forced to tender his resig- nation at the close of the session in May last, and from neglect, no ar- ransements were made for his success sor. and the school has not been rum ming the present sessiSh. However there were a number of applicants from narents who wished to enter their daughters.
 The building Is of brick and of old colonial stlye. It is built on one of the prettiest and most convenient lots in Marion, and can with comparatively small cost be made one of the most attractive school sites in the whole State.
 The conference of the Committee and Trustees was In every way satisfact- orv In fact the Trustees agreed all most fully to the Committees proposi- tion. which Is based on lease for ten years with the privilege of purchase or an additional lease of twenty years.
 However, there Is nothing in the way so far as is known'to prevent the con- hrming of the Committees report as a meeting is to be held in Tuscaloosa naxt week. when the matter will be taken up by the special committee ap- nointed by the Synod for this purpose.
 The Presbyterians have only one school in this State, which is located at TalIadega. and the overflow has me- cessitated the establishing of another school which gave rise to the obtaining of this valuable school property In Ma rion. With the Judson, a Baptist school. and the Marion Female Sennin- ary, another State school backed up by the presbyterians, Marion can but re- gain her old position as the leading school town of the South. Having al- ways been a town of schools, there will be no change in the general tone and character of the little city other than to reach higher in our efforts for the advancement in the educational and so- cial refinement of the womanhood Of the State and country.

men of the town and countt to make shis movement . success"
 At the conclusion of Mir. Glasss re- marks the Chairman threw the meet ing open and called upon anyone who mad any opinions on the subject to state them. Someone in the meeting sug- gested E. E. Forbes's name. and many voices took up the call.
 Deplores One-A1an Rule.
 MT. Forbes said that 90 per cent of the citizens of Montgomery were good citizens and pledged to the Law and Order League already.
 There Is very little disregard of the law in the city and as compared with other cities Montgomery stands ahead of other cities of the country. There IS, however, too much of the one-nan rule. both in the State and in the city,
 The interest of the young men of the city. County and State is what is needed" said Mir. Forbes. "the old men of the city have done their share and 1t Is to the young men of the commun- ity that we must look to for the future government. With their enlightenment they should go to the front---iato the lime-light if you wfsh--and stand for law and ordcr."
 "A thing badly needed in Montgom- cry is the education of the ofiicers of the law as to what their duties are in every instance. Such course of in- structioh is given to officers of the law in large cities, and rigid military sys- tenn is in force in many instances. Some Sf the officers in this community do not know what their duty lis in many in- stances To dress in their uniform and lean against a post they think performs their duty"
 Captain Forbes closed his remarks with an appeal to the young men of the community to take an active interest in what is happening in the city. To send pure men to the public office. these men will then. enforce the laws that are on the statute books. But before I sign the Law and Order agreement which is upon the table. you must first convince me that such league is nec- essary."
 G q. Miles said that the citizens of Montgomery are too apt to neglect what is known to be the duty of each of us on account of political. business or some other reason. Omcials 70 pe efficient must be in sympathy wltn sne Id ws ,,non the statute books in order ts. anforce them," he said. He conclud- ad his remarks with the suggestion tbat tie names of those present pc en- rolled on the printed agreement ana that steps he taken toward permanent organization. such as the election or cbairman, secretary and executive or central committee. .,,on

majesty of the law. Mir. Brown told the meeting Of the one man rule of the ancfents and the gradual distribu- tion of this burden to several men. He read the Biblical instructions as to the kind of omcial who should have the positions of responsibility, and tm- pressed this point upon his hearers. Mir. Brown then commented upon the majesty of the law and how q concep- tion of this quality could only be ob- tained from study of 1t.
 The speaker concluded his remarks with the statement that during the present time there fs too much insist ance upon the right of the individual and not enough upon the obligation of that individual. Each of us owe a duty toward the making and the ob- servance of every law upon the stat ute books of the country and ought to realize that good mans indifference is the bad mans opportunity. The indifference of the good citizen is fa- tai, and leads to debauchery led by Che evil for the sake of satisfying his vi- cious tastes and for the sake of money"
 should Enforce Statutes.
 Chairman Lassiter called upon F. P. Glass to express his views upon the present situation. Mir. Glass said: T do believe in the enforcement of the law, ana the lnulHerenCe or lHe cltl- gen is the fault with Alabama at pres ent. We agitate to put a law on the statute books and once there we lapse into sluggishness, thinking that 1t is going to enforce itself"
 He compared the conception of the majesty of the law in America with that held by the British. The same conception is not held in the territory of the British sovereign as that held hv fha Anaripan Tn for instance, a policeman does not go around with a revolver in his pocket. nor with a billy on his arm. He stands in the street and by the lifting of his finger stops everything within his sight instantly. And the lord of the realm who dares disobey the sig nal is punished more severely than Is the ordinary tramp on the streets.
 Tt Is this lesson that we have to learn from England. one which they have already learned from their Sev- 'eral hundred years more experience. We are too affable and easy-going; we let others enforce the law, because we do not wish to involve ourselves or our business in a law case. Somebody Is not going to make enemies for our selves by trying to do someone else's duty.''
 The laws which we now have upon the statute books would, if enforced, make mulch better community than we now have. the way to enforce them will have to work out itself. If hun dreds would band themselves into a Law and Order League and give their time, money and self-sacrifice, and 1t will take all of these things, the de- ssired result will be brought about. The lax condition of the present will not be corrected in day. week. month, nor if, year. It will need the strong

the wonders of the world. In a
few years Galveston will be a city

but the whole country may point
to with pride. 1t has a port that

the best and results beneficial.
Representative Jospeh P. FalIon
replied very briefly In the evening
stating the protests of the settlers.
HIS address indicated that while due
respect was shown to the Presidents
representative yet the people OF north
Idaho are not in sympathy with the
practice of the forestry department.
Their position was also clearly assert
ed during the afternoons meeting.
Attorneys F. L Burgan and Roger G.

piled in unperturbed language. How

speaking at Portland, Me-, April 3,
1870. The organization of the Tenn
peranoe Reform Club Of Main was
largely due to his initiative, and he

meeting which resulted in the sign

done, leaving no prospect for any i'm
