DEAD IN HER YOUTH.

Yesterday. say The Kansas City Jour nal the body of a young girl-one of Kansas City's fairest and sweetest daughters--was laid away in an un- timely tomb in Elmwood cemetery, the victim of a pistol in the hands of young man who thought the weapon was not loaded. Death is an awful mystery at best, baffling the wisest intellect andareduiring a most child like faith to meet its terrors without an inward shudder. but when it cornss without apparent reason. suddenly and in violent form, to an innocent young being in the hush of the morning of life, then indeed it requires the. stout est heart ana the strongest faith to bear with the inscrutahle ways of di- vine Providence. Why was this young life begun if it was to be So soon ended? And why does death come so often to just such innocent, lovable young creatures-so often that it has become an aphorism of life that those whom the gods love die young while those whose hearts are dry as' summer dust, burn on to the sOcket" From out the great bourne from which no traveller returns no voice comes to an- swer these ceaseIess questions, and the anguished heart can only suffer and struggle on in soul-racking doubt and unavailing sorrow. The last word of loved ones, elinging to each little straw of comfort. is; At least the heavy trials and bitter disappointments of life are spared her. Peace and rest at least are hers" And 50 may it be to all the young lives, that are cut down in hat+ 5rst h1oom. Peace to their ashes$

grades of paper can be carried on here as well as elsewhere. We can see no reason why raw material of any kind cannot be procured here as well as anywhere else, nor why that material cannot be manufactured into good paper in Montgomery as 1t is in other places
 fThe business men of Montgomery we take it. are not going to be drawn into any fake enterprise. or use their money and Influence to further any intangible or uncertain schemes. We are arguing for the establishment of such a plant on sound business basis, just as we advocate the establish ment of other paying industries here. They add to the growth and prosperity of Montgomery.

iT WILL TAKE CLOSE SHAVING.

In another column of The Advertiser is printed an interesting array of fig ures showing comparison of the re- ceipts Of the State for 1907 with the disbursements for the same year. It in information which will be of special interest to the people of the State. for the fear has often been expressed that the Legislature was so generous with the States money. that the State was face to face with a deficit
 Two factors will probably prevent an actual dehcit-first the s plus left in the State Treasury, and. second, the increased assessments made under the direction of the State TaxN Commission
 The increase of the States expenses -ahd the figures. 1t is understood. do not cover the years business to octo- ber Twill amount to nearly half a million dollars for the current year. The disbursements of 1906, according to the Auditors report of that year, were ss.s7s,5s1 .s5 :. Tn the year of 1907 so far as the figures go tho disbursements have already in creased to ss.see.1s7.o5-the increase being s4sO.ss5.10.
 The heavier appropriations have not yet been paid out. It has been esti- mated that when these appropriations are being annually paid out the in- creased living expenses of the State of Alabama will amount to a million and a half dollars.
 So again the fact becomes patent that it is absolutely necessary to in crease the tax returns in some way. The rate of taxation can not be raised. That is forbidden by the Constitution The only way them to swell the tax returns is to increase the assessments, which is as effective as raising the tax rate.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2a. 1907.
TO AWAIT COURTS DEois1oN.


 The writ of prohibition issued by the Supreme Court of Alabama, forbidding the trial of young Ira Perryman fin the City Court of Anniston, while the delinquent juvenile court act was be- ing tested, Is in accordance with the custom of suspending criminal prosecu- taon, pending the test of an enaetment's constitutionality. It has been ire auentIy done before. In State courts and in Federal courts, the practice has been common.
 Tn the Perryman case. wherein a 13- year-old boy is charged with murder, the juvenile delinquent act has been de- clared invalid by Judge Coleman who directed the boy to be put upon trial uuder the criminal statute of the state The boys attorneys. claiming that their clients rights were bound up in the juvenile delinquent act, went to the Supreme Court where they obtained a writ prohibiting the trial of the boy while the validity of the act was being tried.
 There was no departure from estab- llshed procedure and custom in this. The dignity of the State. the respect for the laws of the State were in no wise offended.
 There will be no violent outcry against the issuance of this writ as there was in the suspension of a crim- inal statute under an order from the Federal Court. short while ago. There will be no outcry because of the is- suance of the writ. because there are m polItics in the Ferryman case
 Nothing politically is to be gained bv "denouncing" the court or the judge ,n the Perryman case, There will be no attempt to play upon the prejudice of the people The Perryman case IS fortunately free from all politics ana {. can move on it's way through the courts unaffected by any demasogic appeal to prejudice

PAPER MAKING IN MONTGOMERY

Any sound proposition for the early establishment of a paper mill in Mont giInery is encouraging. and one that should he welcomed. Any enterprise that brings capital to the city, and that will add to the population and to the industrial forces of the city should be encouraged, for of such are cities built up and sustained
 Hardly any enterprise that could be suggested is more desirable than a paper misunderstanding plant, especially when 1t is designed to utilize the vast amount of waste products around us. It is plain to all who have considered the subject that the supply of paper. especially for book and newspaper pur- noses, is not equal to the demand, and it Is plain that the disparity is con tinually growing. "of making many books there Is no end" said Solomon many centuries before printing was in vented but if he could come back now he would see that book making was small business in his day
 But it is not the making of many hooks that is responsible for what may be called the paper famine. It is the increase in the number and size of the newspapers of the country. Sun day issues of one hundred or more pages are not uncommon among the great metropolitan dalies, and fifty pages excite no comment. When we take the number of subscribers and purchasers of these great dalies we can see that the amount of white parer consumed each week Is almost or quite beyond estimate. A natural conse- ouence of these conditions is that the mills of the country are far behind their orders. the price e paper is in- creasing and it is becoming serious problem to obtain enough to supply the daily demands.
 Cf the particular scheme proposed for Montgomery we have nothing to sav. pro or con, not as yet having sui fcient and defnite information upon which to base an opinion. What We are now arguing on is the proposition that the establishment of a paper man. ufacturing plant here on sound busi- ness basis ought to be not only a prof itable but welcome addition to our
 industries. Whether cotton stalks ant
 other waste products can he scccessful' ] ly utilized we do not pretend to say Only intelligent and well conducted experiment can settle that question, but we think there can be no doubt that the manufacture of all the commoner

A CASE IN POINT.

The following from The Manchester (N. H) Union points a moral:
 There was a striking illustration at -Pittsburg last Sunday, of what may happen at any time when mob takes the law into It's own hands, or more correctly, ignores all law and goes to catching and killing at random. The iron worker. with a gang of friends, got into a fight with a party of union glass workers. There was shooting and the leader of the glass workers tectfve came upon the scene and at tempted to arrest the leader of the iron workers. The two exchanged shots and finally clinched, when the and securing his prisoner. But by that time mob gathered full of rage at the, shooting of the glass worker whom he had been trying to arrest proceeded to, hang him to the arm of a telegraph pole. His feet were of the ground and he was already nearly strangled when some one saw his badge and he was lowered to the ground and resuscitated. The man who was, shot is in the hospital, the man who did the shooting Is in jail and the detective has recovered from his terrible experience.
 Tn one sense of the word if the mob had succeeded it would not have been a mistake. for the act would have been murder, whether they had killed the man intended or not. But the fact that they were about to put to death the wrong man illustrates one of the great evils of mob law. All mob law is an evil, of course, but sometimes the crime has been so great that there is some excuse for the blood-lust that breaks out in desire for imfnediate and summary vengeance.
 The other fact always remains, how ever; the fact that an innocent man may be put to death in place of real offender. A mob is little better than an unreasoning aggregation of human beings. deprived for the time of all reason and judgment A crime of more than ordinary brutality has been committed and straightway a mob of enraged men set out with the intention of putting the criminal to death. In their, blind hurry and rage they are not. capable of judging the evil they are about to do. nor are they always able to distinguish the criminal, In such case they are liable to not only violate the laws but may put to death wholly innocent person. When mob makes a mistake it is rarely dis covered in time, as was done in the Plttsburg case.
