BAPTISTS LEAVE
 FUR DOTHAN TODAY
Annual State Convention Will
 Begin Wednesday
SCHOOL WORK A FEATURE
Question of Approprating Public Money to Sectarian Institutions Will Come Up for Consideration.
 Personnel of Committees.

The local Baptist ministers will leave the city today and tomorrow for Dothan' where the Alabama State Baptist con- vention will be held beginning on Wednes- day, the twenty third, and continuing three days.
 Baptist questions of importance will be settled at this, the annual meeting Of the legislative body of the church, and foremqst among them will be with ref erence to educational affairs. With the Baptists, as well as nearly every other denomination, this feature of the work is receiving the most marked attention, and both Howard College and Judson will receive attention.
 From a local standpoint, there is noth- ing to come up except the question of approprating public funds to sectarian institutions, or as Dr. A. J. Dickinson expresses it, separation of church and state. The convention will probably re- uest the legislature to pass law mak- ing such contributions impossible
 The first day will be taken up with the welcome addresses and opening ser mon, as we'll as reports of standing com mittees. That on state and home missions will be especially interesting, as a great deal has been done in that direction during the past year.

DUNCAN ATTACKS
 MUNICIPAL CODE
ARRAIGNS PROVISION WHICH LE- GALlZES PLACES OF BAD RE-
 PUTE. PRESENT SYSTEM BET TER BECAUSE OF STRUCTURES.

The legalized running of houses of bad reputs, as allowed in the municipal code bill now pending in the legisla- ture was attacked by the Rev. James A. Duncan in his sermon at the First Methodist church yesterday morning. In very bitter terms Dr. Duncan denounced the recognition of such places. He spoke in part as follows:
 ''rrhere is a bill up before the legisla- lure now which attacks the very root of our homes. This bill legalizng the worst vice we have among us; making the running of houses of immoral character something which shall receive the pro- tection of the law.
 Are we to allow such thing as this? Are we to allow thing which has always been outside of the pale of the law to now come In an receive its protection?
 "These people have been recognized breakers of the law since time imme- rnorial This bill provides that they shall be segregated. We already have them this way, and we can curtail them whenever we wish. If we wish to blot them nut them out. Give them the slightest semblance of legality and we lose all of our control of them. The slightest legal nrotecton allowed them will give them a fighting chance and one of which they will make use of
 'It is like the camel who asked man to allow him to put his nose in through his shop window, as 1t was warm inside. The man allowed him to do so and in a very short while the camel had his whole head in. Then the neck follow ed and it was only short while until the entire camel was In the shop and the man had to get out.
 Tt is this way with this uestion. If we allow these people to be recognized under the law the whole question of our spect for civilization and care not for the welfare of our children.
 q do not mean to say that the man who framed this bill Is bad. He may be as good as the best of us, but the bill is so cunningly arranged that 1t has almost slipped by without the great majority of people understanding 1t.
 "Go to the mayors office and read a CODY of this bill, and then If you are willing to allow this monster to fatten upon us and then to stretch out it's talons even to your homes go humbly on your way and allow it to be passed with out d murmur on your part

Chief Wier has detailed special of- ficier to watch the cyclists of Birming- ham to keep them down to their proper speed, and protect the pedestrians who have recently been making complaints of the numerous accidents
 There is crowd of negro boys In the employ of markets who take a special de- light in scorching up hill and down at a terrific rate, right through the city, without Joking to the right or left, and every day sees some unfortunate sent sprawling into the gutter
 They are plainly a nuisance on Twen- tieth street, between Sixth avenue and Fourth avenues where most of the acci- dents take place. The policeman Is watching these corners, and every negr O or white person that is seen coastiog down the hill or moving at too fast pace will be locked up in the city jail and al- lowed to spend at least one glorious night behind the bars.

 KICK ON TYPHON TRAP.
Jourheymen Plumbers Claim it Would
 Create a Monopoly.


 Opposition to the new syphon trap which city Plumbing Inspector EclerIe is seeking to have admitted into the plumbing laws of the city of Birming- ham is very strenuous among the jour neymen plumbers. s.
 Mr. Eckerle is very anxious to get 1t passed into law, claiming that 1t will save the property owners 20 per cent over the old plan. Certain plumbers claim that the ordinance sets up mo- nopoly, but the ordinance provides for an option by which the customer may use either plan he wishes. and this sec- ton was inserted to take away the monopoly feature. Many express the hope that the council committee will take action on the matter as soon as possible.

BAG OF MONEY STOLEN.
Alabama Bakery Company Misses
 Sack Containing $52.

The theft of a bag of money con- tanlng s52 was reported to police head quarters yesterday morning by the Ala bama Bakery company. There is soms mystery to the theft as it was not re- ported until twelve hours after the occur renee, and the suspect is closely connected with the company.
 The money was taken Saturday after noon about o'clock from the office at 120 South Twenty-frsts street. It seems that the safe was open and the thief had q good start before the money was missed. The police are making every effort to catch him, but as yet no clue has been unearthed.

the church becomes ruler it ceases to be preach and teacher of religion, is written large on every page of Chris tian history. It was when bishops and monks and priests were administering the things of Caesar that the woIfd was most deprived of spiritual service. and deteriorated in spiritual life
 If you do not separate the service of Cae- sar from the service of. God you will find that society will suffer in both lines of service. Why should the incompetence of the state to do its offices to society to society so seculerize the church that it shall have to be reformed again and again until 1t is restored to it's normal spiritual power?
 If 1t had not been for Hlderbrand. Lu- ther and Calvin might not have been needed, and the reformation would not have been n social necessity. Our expe- rieuce shows that the policy of entire sep aration is best both for the vigor and healthy growth of both the church and the state Let each exercise it's own func- tions. and occupy it's own sphere, and each will serve best society, and grow the more rapidly into yet more useful branches of public service.
