Late Primaries the Rule

State Committeeman Il. K. Campbell
surely voices the sentiment of the
party when he urges an application of
the democratic rule of 1906 to the pri-
maries of 1910. The platform Of that
year says: I'VE favor holding a pri-
mary election for the nomination of
United States senators, congressman
and all state and county officers, on
the same date to-wit, on the third Mon
day In August of each year preceding
every election at which said officers
are to be elected"
What was good In 1906 will be even
better In 1910. because the people have
had a surfeit of agitation and politics.
and they want time in which to do
business and to let mischievous
schemes subside. By August or Sep
TENDER they. will know their own
minds, and they will then be ready to
act advisedly for the good of the
state.
No doubt Mr.. Campbell's appeal for
a postponement OF all political effort
even In the counties until August or
September will become statewide de-
'mand. The people need freedom from
politics until August or September. In
England only month is allowed for
great constitutional struggle, and
surely primaries In August or Septem-
Der would be sufficient time to precede
our November election.

These festivals are intended to be
eduoative as well as diverting and
pleasure-giving. The more popular
they are the greater the crowds, and
when the crowds are reached 1t goes
without saying that the aesthetic pur-
pose sought is accomplished.
The festival will be well advertised
by the association and If all individual
citizens will let their out-of-town
friends know what fine thing 1t is
to be, visitors will come from all sec
tons of the state and from some of
the neighboring states to enjoy the
music. Let every one talk festival
and work for the festival from now
until April.

How TO Become a Qualified ElectOr

Probate Judge S. E. Greene makes
plain In another column the difficult
ties attendant upon the preparation IN
his office of list of qualified electors.
The task is full of perplexities, and
Judge Greene sums up the situation by
requesting all persons who are In doubt
about their qualification to vote to call
at the probate Office before February
1 next to see IL all doubts cannot be
removed. Judge Greene offers to do
his part and he hopes every citizen
who desires to vote will do likewise
A careful reading of Judge Greene's
communication will clear away many
Misrepresentation. The county is lot
tunate In having an excellent lawyer
in its probate office-one who sees all
legal obstacles in the path Of the voter
and who stands ready to assist each
and every male citizen to become
qualified elector. A thoughtful con-
sideration of Judge Greene's communi-
cation will prove a valuable lesson In
the art of voting.

The Music Festival

Now that the Birmingham Music
Festival association has secured the
Damrosch orchestra and a quartet Of
artists for festival in April music
lovers and citizens in general should
put forth earnest efforts to insure its
financial success. Last years festival
under Mr. Damrosch's direction was a
very brilliant event and was, all in all,
more thoroughly enjoyed by the large
audiences that attended the different
concerts than any previous affair Of its
kind. The programme contained only
music of high order. Some Of 1t was
strictly classic, and none of 1t was
trivial. But the programmes appealed
to listeners of all classes, because not
one Of the programmes was lengthy
dry or heavy.
1t is understood that the forth.
coming festival will give us the same
character of programmes as those oil
last year. The music will be beautiful
but not too deep for the average lay
man or those persons not unsteady
educated. Such programmes show the
good sense of the management or who
ever IL responsible for their making

EPHESUs.
Incidents In st. PauPs Life Recalled BY
old Landmarks.

Albert Bigeiow Paine. In Harpers
Weekly.
There Is no lack of knowledge concern
ing certain of the structures here-the
more recent ones, we may call them,
though they were built 1000 years ago.
There are inscriptions everywhere, and
some of them are as Clearly cut today as
they were when the tool left them. This
library was built In honor of Augustus
Caesar and Livia. and 1t must have been
veritable marble vision. Here In its
corners the old students sat and pored
over books and precious documents that
filled these crumbling recesses and the
long-vanished shelves. St. Paul doubtless
came here to study during the three
years of his residence. and before him
st. John, for he wrote his Gospel In
Ephesus and would be likely to seek out
the place OF books. And Mary would
walk with him to the door sometimes,
7 think. and Mary of Magdala. for these
three passed their final days in Ephesus
and would be drawn close together by
! their sacred bond.
The great theatre where St. Paul
battled with the wild beasts stands Just
across the way. 1t seated 5000 and It's
stone benches stretch upward to the sky.
The steep marble flight that carries you
from tier to tier is there today exactly
as when troops OF fair ladies and hand
some beaux climbed up and still up to
find their places from which to look
down on the play or the gladiatorial COM
bat or the massacre of the Christians in
the arena below.
These old theatres were built In a semi
circle dug out OF the mountainside, so
that the seats were solid against the
ground and rose one above the other
with the slope Of the hill, which gave
everybody good view. There were no
columns to interfere with ones vision,
for there was no roof to be supported.
except perhaps over the stage, but the
top seats were so remote from the
arena and prosoenium that the players
must have seemed mere miniatures. Yet
even above these there was still noun
tainside, and little boys, who could not
get money for an entrance fee or carry
water to the animals for ticket, sat up
in that far perch, no doubt, and looked
down and shouted at the show.

COtton'S New High Record

July futures sold in New Orleans at
prices over 16 cents on Friday, and
the governments bullish estimate OF
the crop has rendered 15-cent cotton a
thrice told tale.
The government says 10,0SS,000 bales
were grown this year. To ascertain
the commercial crop we must add lint
ers and repacks. About 100000 bales
should be added on account of the GUS
tomary cut made by the department
of agriculture in a years totals. These
changes would give commercial crop
ranging between 10,800,000 bales and
100000 bales. The opinions of the
best observers of crop movements
swing around those figures.
Supply and demand and trade con-
ditions will work out prices based on
a crop of the size named, and 1t is diff
ficult to say what the price of cotton
will be later on when 1t becomes abso-
lutely certain that the crop is three
million bales less than the crop of the
previous year. The government report
is probably the elimination of bullish
estimates, and the market will be apt
to begin to determine what the price
of cotton should be when the com
mercial crop does not exceed 11.000.00C
bales.
The crops in America and Egypt
are both very short. The commercial
crop of last year in this country was
13,S00.000 bales and Egypt had a nor
NAL crop. and yet the product, large as
1t was, was readily absorbed. This
Joint product of America and Egyp
will be about 100000 bales less this
year than it was last year, and the
price is to be adjusted to this great
discrepancy in the worlds supply

FOLLY IN DRASTIC LEGISLATION

from the houston Post.
While the result of the recent election
on the prohibition amendment in Ala
bama was quite a surprise to we'll mean
ing prohibitionists in other states, It
occastoned no surprise to those who
were informed as to the drastic provi-
enacted by the legislature under the die
tation of Governor Conner. and which
1t was sought to permanently fasten
upon the state by having 1t incorpor-
ated in the constitution. Indeed. SO out
rageous were these statutes that after
seeing them IN operation, 1t were an
insult to the intelligence and an i'm
parchment of the patriotism of the cleo
torate of the state to doubt that they
would repudiate them at the first oppor-
tunity to pass upon them.
Under the new law the sale or giving
away of liquors at clubs. and the con-
gregation of persons at private homes
for the purpose of drinking is strictly
prohibited. Places of business, includ-
ing private offices. are prohibited from
storing liquors to be sold or given away
and any place under suspicion can be
raided as common nuisance and closed
under an Injunction gotten out by any
citizen. Railroad and express companies
are not allowed to deliver liquors at
homes and foreign corporations doing
business in the state cannot engage in
a traffic which is outlawed for domestic
concerns on penalty of q revocation Of
their license. Police powers are extend
ed three miles beyond the corporate
limits of all towns and cities, the Of
hcers being given unlimited powers to
make raids. sheriffs and other officials
who fail to do their duty under the
"plenty-power'' provisions of the statutes
are subject to impeachment and other
punishment. All clubs are required to
reorganize within 90 days to frame new
constitutions and bylaws prohibiting the
sale or giving away of liquors on their
premises, and to furnish copies of the
Same together with full lists of their
members to probate judges for filing for
| public inspection under penalty of having
their charters revoked and their indi-
vidual members punished. The possess
sion of federal license to sell liquors
requires the holder to prove his inno-
cence or go to jail.
It will be seen that these laws, which
have been in effect for some months,
completely revolutionize the existing sys-
TEN of legal Jurisprudence and in ef-
feet establish legal tyranny that has
had parallel in the legislation of this
country since the time of the blue laws
| in New England.
Could an intelligent. liberty loving peo-
pie do otherwise than repudiate such
! statutory lawlessness?

Taxation for a LIbrary-Yhy


Only one-tenth of the. children OF a
city reach the high school. The other
nine-tenths are fortunate If they secure
the rudiments of an education In the
primary schools, leaving whatever of
definite knowledge. thinhng-power
and culture they may afterwards ac-
quire to be picked up against great
odds as they go along in the imper-
alive task of earning living.
All cities lay taxes to erect and
maintain high schools for the benefit
of the one-tenth who can attend them.
And when cities do that they should
go one step farther in all logic and
economy by laying tax TO build and
maintain public Libraries for the use
of the nine-tenths who cannot avail
themselves of the advantages Of the
high school. the high school pupils,
too, would be benefited. AS a matter
of fact nothing makes for a larger
intelligence in a community more than
public library.
The code of Alabama recognizes this
truth when in Section 1853 it author
ICES cities and towns to establish and
maintain public libraries either sep
arately or in connection with the pub
lie schools. The right to do this IN
this city is plain, and the wisdom Of
doing it should be and soon will be
equally apparent.
