 Very truly yours.
 Horace Hood:
 Solicitor Dsnt's letter in answer to Sheriff Hoods request follows:
 By an act of the Legislature Of Alabama, approved September 2S, 1903, 1t is provided that 1t shall be . viola tion of law for any person or persons to play or engage in The playing of any baseball. football. tennis. golf on Sunday in any public place or places where people resort for such purpose in the State of Alabama. I see no ob- lection to the validity of this law.
 T am asked by you to state what your duties are in the premises. and In reply, I have to say that If you or any of your officers personally observe violation of this law, 1t Is your duty to arrest without q warrant. But if you are not personally acquainted with the violation of the law. 1t is not your duty to make any arrest without a warrant. If you have a valid warrant charging any of the offenses denounced by the statute above noted. 1t Is your duty to make an arrest. In my opin- ion any person or persons who play or engage in the playing of any of the games on Sunday specified in this stat ute would be guilty of violation or the law. whether an admission fee Is charged or not.
 T might add that 1t is not your duty to pass upon the question as to wheth- : CT or not this Is a reasonable regula- ton of public morals. but the sole question presented Is whether or not the Legislature has defined a crime. and whether or not 1t is brought to your attention in the manner above stated. With this question, you are not concerned, but if the law is vioiat- cd in your presence, or in the presence of your deputies. 1t is your duty to make an arrest, or if not violated in your presence. but a warrant is given you for any person participating in any of the games above stated 1t Is also your duty to make an arrest. I do not consider that it is my duty to take any steps in this matter until tn c same is under the law directly brought to my attention. though I am always willing to give you my views of the law in connection with any violation thereof"

 Girard. March 21.-(Special .)-The Russell County officers have moved from their offices in the Court House at Scale and the contractors. an At lanta firm. have begun the work of re- modelling the old building.
 In the meantime advocates of the re- moval of the county seat from Scale to Girard, and building a new Court House in this city are actively at work cir culating a petition to the Governor that he order an election on this subject.
 Scale people calm that the advocates of removal have waited too long if they intend to undertake to restrain the commissioners from expendlng any money. taking the position that they should have taken action before the building was placed in its present con- dition.
 The necessary petitions will go to the Governor. however, and those who are behind the movement say that there will be such a number of names on them that the ordering Of an election will be the proper thing.

A Colossal Graft

There is nothing more disturbing to
the tariff robbers than the revelations
that they have been selling their prod
ucts cheaper in foreign markets than
at home-unless it be the prospect of
the election of Democratic admins
tration.
1t develops that the steel trust has
been selling 100, 900 tons of sheet and
tin plate bars to Welsh tin plate makers
st figure that emphasizes Schwab's
statement that the tariff is pure graft
and that without duties steel could be
made and sold at profit below prices
that the tariff now privileges the trust
to extort from the American consumer.
In short, the steel was sold to the Welch
manufacturers at 81 ton below what
is charged American manufacturers. 1t
charges American manufacturers so a
ton. 1t delivered the same grade of
steel to the Welshmen for S2l so ton.
But it paid the freight from Pittsburg,
which is 81 10 ton. SO, in fact, it
charged for its product $l7 so a ton,
while it charges the American customer
$50.
Under the prices charged the Welsh
men, they could reimport the steel
bought from the trust, pay the duty,
and vet make profit. But the trust
provided against any such competition,
by binding the Welshmen to Keep out
of the American market, on penalty of
having their shipments of steel discon-
tinued
In expressing its regret that the
steel trust should thus expose the rob-
berry that the tariff works. The Indus
trial World protests that nothing can
do more TO discredit the protective sys-
tenn than such operations The tariff
on such material is high, yet it is only
So -. Did not the steel corporation tie
the foreign buyers up tightly, and did
not the latter know that If they resold,
their shipments would be stopped very
promptly, they could load these bars
back on 10 the cars and ship them to
the United states at profit after pay
ing transportation charges. The cheap
plea of Keeping mills going and EN-
ploying labor through these exports is
American public"
The steel was sold abroad because
there was a profit 10 selling it--other-
wise the trust would have closed down
its mills. Ii has not hesitated to close
down its mills rather than TO reduce
prices to the American consumer and
keep its employees 1T work 1t has a

But the foreign consumer is not at its

because in such event he would buy in
other markets So it must forego its
monopoly profits and sell to him on
competitive basis.
