The Birmingham District.

The Baltimore Manufacturers Record i of this week may be regarded in a i large degree a Birmingham district number. Editor Richard H. Edwards i says among other good things:
 The long fight is won. The struggle 1 of Alabama for the last quarter of a i century to convince the great hnanciers i of the world of it's potentialitles a field for investment and to bring to l the development of its resources capital commensurate with their extent, in or der that it might be placed on a par with Pittsburg and the iron and steel ment and methods in iron and steel ] making, though carried on under many disadvantages has finally been won. "The early stages of development of 1 any country are marked by many mis- takes and some failures What Ala i bama has had to suffer in this particu-
 lar is only duplication of what Penn sylvania and other iron and steel making regions had to endure. When
 the Steel corporation made its pur-
 chase of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and i fdllrOdu company, Ine ManuIacturerS
 Record expressed the conviction that
 the industrial development of Ala abama i had been advanced 20 years thereby over what would have occurred under ordinary conditions.
 Now that the Steel corporation, aft CT long study and investigation of what it has in Alabama, backs its faith in that section by new and broad de- velopment work. the worlds attention will be drawn to that section to far greater extent even than when the 1 Tennessee company was first pur- chased. From the influences radiating from the plans now announced inves- tors and leaders in industrial develop ment in this country and abroad will | again have their attention centered upon the possibilities of the south.
 "The beginning of the south's ma- terial advancement has commenced but 1t is only the beginning. The Manu- lecturers Record extends to the peo- pie of Birmingham and of Alabama as well as to the people of the whole south it's congratulations for the ad- vance step now being taken"

Boys in Too Great Haste.

"The High school boy who rushes off to college before finishing his High school course Is nearly always doomed to experience disappointment" said R. l.. Dimmitt instructor In manual arts at the High school. They think they are going to college when they are really taking an academic course which they could get just as well as home.
 "The boy is thus forced to stay away from home longer than he should. and is apt to tire of college life just when 1t is actually begun.
 T understand that the entrance re- quiremnets will be changed in the state sch next year to prevent this class of boys going up. Entirely too many have been leaving the High school to take up college work when they were not prepared for 1t. This is one place where our school system does not harmonize but it will no doubt be remedied in time."

THE FINISH.

Now that the summer campaign Is ehoed and the cruel summer maid has hung her trophies on the wall and started out for conquests new, Swinburne's lines in "A Forsaken Garden" seem to fit the occasion.
 And the same wind sang and the same
 waves whitened.
 And or ever the gardens last petals
 were shed, In the lips that had whispered, the eyes that had frightened,
 Love was dead.n

slblex on Street Car Gates.

To the Editor of The Age eHerald.
 have no desire to engage in a newspaper controversy over the gates on street cars, but one of the gentle men interviewed in this mornings pa- per states that the gates are not used any where on the surface cars. He may not have observed them, but a great many surface cars in Philadel- nhia not only close the platform but fold up the steps to present anyone from alEghting or boarding the car while in motion. I had one of them 'shut in my face" in front of tho Broad street station. as I ran to catch the car, but when the next car came I was standing ready to board when the door opened.
 Tn order to handle the increasing traffic the company will no doubt have to put on additional cars during the rush hours, but the passenger does not run the risk of falling off by turning loose his hold on the railing as he puts his hand in his pocket to get his fare.
 I believe that after a fair trial the public will conclude that the protection of life and limb outweighs the little personal inconvenience we may be put to at times. In comparing with steam railroads, the fact should not be over looked that 90 per cent of the trains have closed vestibules and no passen- ger can get on or off until the doors are opened. Respectfully,
 JOHN w. SHELBY.

TOTAL DEAD 5000
 IN MEXICAN FLOOD

Monterey September 23.--General Tre- vino, military commander of the District of Northern Mexico who has directed the distribution of aid through the section swept by the recent flood, estimates the number of lives lost at 5000. Two thou- sands bodies were recovered. Between Monterey and Tampico, General Trevino states every vestige of cultivation and the homes and stores of the inhabitants have been washed away and there is still great need of outside aid. The property loss is placed in the millions

democratic party in 1912? It Is a safe guess that 1t will remain in the demo- cratic column and that the national prohibition managers will be again disappointed in the matter of electoral votes. It Is well, however, for the democrats of Alabama to consider well this movement. The ratifica ton of the amendment would unquestionably be hailed as victory for national prohi- bition.
 In Alabama the champions of the amendment proposition are striving to divorce constitutional prohibition from politics, state and national; but a party that is on the defensive reveals inherent weakness. The ultra-prohibi- tionists themselves must now realize that tactical blunder was made when the amendment submission bill was forced through the legislature, for the freemen of Alabama, in defending the constitution as it is and rallying to the cause of liberty as against fanat- ical oppression, will work with all their might to roll up not merely a majority, but an overwhelming major ity, against ratification.

Answer to BIackwood.

To the Editor of The Ase-Heraid:
 read in the morning paper a ietter
 from MT J. Blackwood of Gadsden in ref
 erence to Section 2 of the proposed con
 stitutional amendment in which he seeks
 to convey the impression that the pro
 posed amendment is not in conflict with
 any rights of the sanctity of the home.
 Iya savs that at the present time, under
 existing statutes magistrate may issue
 a search warrant whenever he has prob
 able cause for believing that liquor IS
 stored in the nome" for an Illegal pur-
 nose. towit, as means of committing
 . public offense." We may grant tnls 10
 he true. But the constitutional amend
 ment proposed goes further; it would per
 init the search and seizure Of liquors In
 the home. although they were there for
 the innocent purpose of the temperate
 u.e of the same by the householder for
 his own and his familys use The pro-
 nosed constitutional amendment would
 enable the legislature to provide by stat
 ute that it shall be unlawful to have in
 vour priyate home intoxicating liquors of
 any kind, for any purpose whatsoever. It
 would permit the legislature to enact a statute, making the mere having Of the
 liouors stored a penitentiary offensep re- gard,ess of the purpose for which they were stored.
 Under the present existing law the pur- nose for which they are stored must be unlawful before search warrant can lawfully be issued. The framers or this amendment recognized that the legsla- ture. under the present constitution, can not prohibit man from having in his home liquors for his own private use' as under the bill of rights every mans home is his castle So in order to "repeaP' the hill of rights and the magma charta and to turn over and overthrow all the ancient landmarks, they provide by Section That nothing in the constitution of the state of Alabama shall be construed to prohibit the legislature from designating the places where intoxicating liquors may not be kept" This simply means that notwithstanding the bill of rights, the magma charta and the sanctity of the home and all the other safeguards thrown around the liberties of the people, ty- ranical legislature may provide by statute .That 1t shall be unlawful to store in any place in the state of Alabama any vinous, spiritous or malt liquors of any kind whatsoever" The legislature under this clause may provide by statute that It shall he unlawful to usa wines in church

Patriotism vs. IrreIlslous Demasosisn

 Patriotism vs. lrreiigious Demagogisn. To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Let every true patriot who has put his hand to the paw to look forward, press on, and like David Crockett. know you are right and go ahead, and be so per sistent and determined that the coon you are pursuing shall tree and say, MT. Crockett, don't shoot, I'll come down. !" Victory for freedom is in the breeze. I feel it. But work don't cease until 10000 majority shall be rolled up on November 2e I will explain what I mean by ire ligion. True and undefiled religion, be- fore God the Father is to visit the fath- erless and the widows In their afflictions and keep ones self unspotted from the world Demagoguism is already known 'Does turning religious offices into fac- tories to raise votes to destroy liberty prove true and undefiled religion?" No! a thousand times no! Hence is 1t not just to call things by their right names our rock is not their rock, our enemies themselves being judges. I must believe from what I have seen that there is deep laid scheme to disrupt our free state and land it in the column of mon archy Therefore. beware, watch as well as pray. Solomon tells us of a woman whose feet abide not in her house. Is that the true church or true religion which more than goes abroad?
 Let no religionist say. "I am mad. :" Not so most noble Festus, but I write the words of truth and soberness, and if you ask what makes Lively write like he does he loves liberty He knows what gospel liberty means. '1f the truth shall make you free, you shall be free. in- deed"
 "If the Son make you free you shall be free, indeed" is the testimony of the in- fallible word of God. I already enjoy gos- pei liberty. now I want political liberty civil liberty, freedom of press. freedom of speech, freedom of thought. Let our chiefs say as did tho immortal Stonewall Jackson at the battle of Bull Run, "On to Washington" And as he gave com mand to his artillery he said, "The Lord have mercy on their souls-touch them of boys"
 I am responsible for what I write, and I don't make The Age-Herald defend what write. I am able to defend all my positions which am prepared to prove Quit you like men. be strong in the cause of true patriotism as all hazards. l am for truth and order, good government freedom right and the privileges I have enjoyed under the grand old consti- tution of the United States and our glori- ous old Alabama's present constitution Boys, don't allow 1t to be outraged by such drastic, ungodly measures. Come 10 the front and if you should fall. fall face foremost. Yours for liberty. civil and our just rights.

.LEAL ON
THE GRILL

Investigation of charges against
former Chief Of Detectives Joe Leal,
of accepting brides was undertaken by
the Territorial grand jury this morn
ing, sitting in the City Hall.
McHenry, at present tending bar,
was the first witness and his examin-
alton occupied the morning session of
the inquisition. The grand jury resum-
ed the hearing at 1870 o'clock this af-
ternoon. There are several witnesses
to be called.
Leal was yesterday notified by the
Sheriff that his suspension had de-
veloped into his final removal from
the force, the Sheriff believing that
there had been such demonstration
of facts as warranted his being no
longer employed.

THIS WEEK.

If you are run down take a run
down to Haleiwa and see how quick
your exhaltsed strength will get new
life. A game of tennis or turn at
the golf loinks will do a world of good
to the man who is tired from attend
ing to business cares. The meals at
the Haleiwa are the best in the Ter
ritory and the lanai dining room with
all of the fascinating pleasures Of an
al fresco setting make a meal there
particularly delightful. The automo-
bilists find a drive there a very pleas
ant change from the usual run around
the park. 1t is short and pleasant.
