BrRMINGHAM AND COMMISSION
 GOVERNMENT.

It seems that there are some ugly charges being made in Birmingham in reference to members of the City Coundfi. Of the truth of those charges this paper knows nothing. But the situation appears to The Birmingham News to be very acute for in the course of a leader on the subject 1t has this to say:
 On the councils prompt and firm action much depends. Could Cover nor Conner decline to hearken, should sfmiasham fa sS request that he peSRiie cai sn U extra session of the Legislature in order that, all other appeals. demands and efforts having failed, the city by legislative act. and instead city government by commission be estab- lished? There are m9ny sound req sons why such government by com mission should be established for Bir- one that 1t seemed the only way to procure honest administration of municipal affairs. Let no man doubt that the Legislature of Alabama would the people of Birmingham.
 4Nc siShtuSduI point IS ludt AHe News is calling for radical change in the form of municipal government in Birmlnghanh--for government by commission. That conclusion has fol. lowed municipal rottenness and inef. hciency in many cities, and 1t is mol surprising to learn that Birmingham is getting to the same point A radi. cal reform in the method of govern. ment would undoubtedly be whole. some for most of the iargsr cities The familiar form. with the fifth wheel of legislative body filiet with talking machines. needs to giy, way to a modern business-liIse. re. sponsibie, efficient system. Thereby the most capable business men ara induced to undertake the important tasks of city government, and the bulk of familiar municipal evils are eliminated. If Birmingham ha. reached point where she is ready tc set new pace to Alabama. we'll and good.

FRIDAY. DECEMBER, 4, 1908.
STILL AT IT.

The Columbia State has 50 thor ouEhly wrapped up in Bryan, and so Intolerant towards all who refused to see with its eyes. that 1t has not quit ealing names yet. Commenting on the result in North Carolina of the recent election it speaks of near Democrats" and assistant Republi- cans" who did not vote for MT. Bryan. and rather curtly invites them to get sout and align themselves with the, Republicans. Such intolerance isn't pleasant to The Charlotte Observer. and 1t hits back at The State this way;
 That paper regards the-vote on the month as "signifcant and ominous." So Indeed 1t was, and we take leave to say. by. way of information that the very tactics which The State now employs were large responsible for it. The voters of this State cannot be clubbed into subjection nor herded un- der one banner and driven to the polls that time has passed; and it deserves to be remarked further that, while the Democratic Presidential majority cut a s6 almost T exactly m in eP9f t%o if it S Ssd not been for the help of the classes conternptuouslyE styled near Demo, there would have been no Democratic majority at all.
 More than once during the campaign The Advertiser took occasion to warn some of Its .over-zealous contempora- ries that the tactics they were pursu- ing would inevitably tend to drive Democrats beyond the limit of pa tlence, causing some of them to vote the Republican ticket and many oth- CTS not to vote at all. And as inti- mated by The Observer, many of those who voted for Mir. Bryan did so against both judgment and inclination and solely because he was the nomi- nee of the party.
 The truth of the matter is SO evident that oven the rabid Bryan worshippers should be able to recognize 1t. That truth is that the great body of Demo- crats are determined that they will have none of Bryan, and very large minority of them will not vote for him under any circumstancesl whatever. That truth may as well be accepted as settled. and there's no use or good policy in papers like The State contin- uing to condemn Democrats who would not vote for him. Such papers may as well take and heed our warn- ing that if Mir. Bryan is nominated in 1912 Democracy will go to pieces as a national party. Whether 1t can after wards be revived-reincarnate we might say--under the leadership of an able and sound Democrat remains to be seen. It cannot be held together by MT. Bryan.

PAlraaelph.a'. syndlcated sant. Claus.

Dttroit Free Press.
 Philadelphia has a Santa Claus as- sociation that ought to be nationalized.
 Tho suggestion of it came from the childish letters published with the recurrence of Christmas season. They were pathetic. frequently pitiful, al- ways full of hope coupled with faith that would Christianize the world if made a part of the adult conception of a Supreme Being. and-but we all know what those letters are.
 An association was organized to do the work of merry Kris Kringle. and 1t asked that all letters addressed to him at the Philadelphia postoh1ce should be delivered to the association. It will be recalled that a narrow-mind- ed postoffiee ruling held that the plan could not be carried out, but Post master General Meyer slashed his way direct through a lot of red tape and ordered the request compiled with.
 Money Is supplied by the association members and by other charitable peo- pie. 4 manager buys and distributes the things and thousands of little ones accept this typifeation of Christmas giving as direct from the mythical father bountiful of the season.

Atlantic Monthly.
 The birth-rate in the United states In the days of it's Ahglo~saxon youth was one of the highest in the world. The best of au- thority traces the beginning of its decline to the first appearance about 1850. of innmi- grafton on a large scale. Our great philos- opher, Benjamin Franklin. estimated six children to normal American family in hts day. The average at the present time Is slightly above two. For 1900 1t is cai- eulated that there are only about three fourths as many children to potential moth CTS in America as there wete forty years ago. Were the old rate of the middle of the century sustained. there would De fif- teen thousand more births yearly In the State of Massachusetts than now occur, In the course of a century the proportioh of our entire population consisting of children under the age of ten has fallen from one- third to one.quarter This for the whole United states is equivalent te the loss of about seven million children.

that same oiause In It's Consultation now. But 1t was first written in the Constitution of the Confectionery.
 "Goias furher into their big task the makers of the Southern Constitu- tion. keeping always to the lines of Jefferson and his associates. departed far enough to work out several small reforms They gave fer instance, the right to the President to remove any Federal official for corruption. mis- conduct or inefEitIency.'

 These are the changes hat count, the difference of consequence between the Confederate Constitutioh and the Constitution of the United States. They were not very large and win them and a few minor others of conse- quence the United States Constitution was written in the Consultation of the Confederacy.
