Let Us Have Peace

The applications for writs of GER
tiorari in the injunction cases Of the
Louisville and Nashville and the Cen
trail of Georgia railroads were den1eu
by the United States supreme court,
and the states passenger and freight
rates will soon become effective on the
two railroads in common with the
other railroads in the state. Rates
that are not confiscatory in Georgia
will certainly not be confscatory in
Alabama where the tonnage is much
greater. Both of the railroads in ques-
ton have many miles of track in Geor-
gia, and they are not contending in
court against Georgia rates.
After all, is not this an excellent
time for peace and fair and just set
Element of all rate questions? So far
as the laws of the state will permit
the railroad commission of the state
should meet the railroads in a gener-
Gus spirit, and controversy that dis
tracts business, leaving the business
man or manufacturer no secure basis
for future plans, should be terminated.
Now is the time to do it. The Age
Herald appeals to both sides to get to-
gether in a spirit of fair dealing, amity
and Justice. The war in the courts has
gone on long enough. Let it be ended.
Let there be peace in Alabama, where
all are supposed to rest well equipped
with olive branches.

fusion would result in this country UNI
less an entire state acted in unison,
railroads and all. Universal agree
ment is first necessary. and for this
reason the subject must this year be
considered academic only. Next year
it may become statutory in some states.
There is really no objection to an arbi-
trary control of clocks, provided it be
desirable. The clocks of the country are
now regulated by the railroads, wholly
regardless of true or sun time. The
principle of the time zones established
by the railroads could be extended UNI
til even the Cincinnatians would be
content. Time is made for man ana
may be regulated by him as he deems
best. He is under no obligation to
watch the sun the year round.

Salaries Instead of Fees

The fee brigade builded better than
it knew when it put in the constitu-
ton of 1901 article SO, which requires
statewide action in the matter of fees
if any at all be determined upon, for
that is exactly what Alabama needs.
What is good in one county is good in
all The entire state should wake UP
to the injustices and iniquities of the
fee system, and in every one of the 81
counties of the state salaries should be
substituted for fees.
In this matter Alabama would but
be following the general trend of
states. One state after another Is
abolishing fees. Louisiana is a notable
example in the south. Perhaps one
half of the states have acted on this
subject and the other half speedily
will Alabama should keep step with
bHlS widespread l0lOll
No single reform in any state re-
lieves to a greater extent the poor, the
weak and the humble from innumer-
able wrongs. No other reform empties
so speedily jails. No other reform re-
duces arrests, unclogs the courts and
puts criminal statutes on just and
even basis as would the abolition OF
fees. The search for fees in many
cases extends further than the every
day citizen is aware of. 1t is search
conducted with the utmost alertness
and without a particle Of humanity. 1t
is a selfish exploitation affecting those
who are so poor they cannot secure
the services and protection of COM
petent counsel-of those who cannot
make bail bonds. If the truth, the
whole truth, concerning the schemes to
gather in fees were told the entire
state would be shocked beyond
measure.
Alabama should act in this matter,
and her action should apply to every
county, for even the agricultural coun-
ties of small population feel the I'M
Just hands of the fee brigade. This
evil should be lifted from the entire
state, and the help of all good citizens
is needed in this all-important reform.

supper and then finishing the work in
the evening. Not by any stretch of the
imagination can one conceive Of human
beings as we know them in America
engaged in such methodical and dlabolical
routine. What makes it all the more
remarkable is the fact. according to the
accounts, that Moslem fury is not di-
reoted against Christians as SUCH but
against the Armenians. This seems to
Indicate that the Turks are swayed rather
by political than by religious frenzy.
The typical Turk is said to be an indo-
lent and rather amiable fellow, who has
made grating one of the fine arts, but
who is easy to live with if you let him
alone Has his antipathy for the Ar
menians ever been satisfactorily eX-
planned? Whatever provocation he may
have for his cruelty. it is difficult to
justify his cold-blooded and methodical
mode of massacre.
But ever since the dawn of history Asia
Minor has been dark and tragic ground,
any other part of the earth's surface.
Assyrians, Babylonians, Jews, Egyptians,
Greeks, Romans, Christian crusaders and
Moslem fanatics have enacted there
tragedy extending over 40 centuries. Per-
haps the recent atrocities may be due in
part to the history and the associations
of the region, and perhaps. in the final
accounting of things, It will be found
that the Turk is not wholly to blame.

THE REAL CASTRO.

From Golfers Weekly.
Castro is slight. below medium height,
with a wiry, restless, suppressed en-
ergy. He is vain in small things, SEN
sitive about his slight size, and the
only portrait of him permitted to be
sold is a head and sh oulders carefully
retouched so as to suggest heaVy'
thick-set, square shouldered man, win
a massive Jaw and coarse, thlck
black beard.
AS a matter of fact, his features sus-
eest much to the Imagination and yleld
little to description. 1t lisa mask Wnlch
gives YOU instantly the curious impress
sion that it is a mask, and that behind
hidden, is the man himself. Inc eyes
are steel pellets that burrow into the
subject but there is never the con-
traction or the flicker of muscle.
They are as abstract as the eyes OF
FISH. The brow is straight and motion
less. the cheek bones are large and
strong The nose is delicate, half re-
vealed by the close-clipped beard and
mustache is the straight, hard line of
a determined mouth. The jaw is pointed
but heavy and powerful in its angles.
His complexion is light, pale in fact.
Tn nothing but the prominent bones of
the cheek is there is a suggestion of
the Indian blood with which he is
popularity credited.
But it is the whole expression-or,
rather. the mask like lack of it-that is
NE most striking. Castro talks rapid
lv and with an incisive accent-he lis
tens; he interrupts; he gives an order;
he is irritated; he is pleased; he is
angry: he is worried; he is in a hurry,
and every emotion is screened in the
mask until the sense of personality is
all but lost. Back of it, you feel with
an absolute certainty there is bundle

BUILDING LIMIT, $50 STORIES.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The height of the Hottest building sue
cessively erected in New York-the most
world-famed city in the world for lofty
buildings-is increasing by leaps and
bounds. The topmost point Of the Singer
building, recently opened. is 612 feet above
the pavement; the final of the lantern
that crowns the Metropolitan Life tower
Gently plans were got out for building
to be erected by the Equitable Life COM
pany, from whose summit, 800 feet above
street level, it will be necessary to look
down some 300 feet to find the top of the
Singer building.
Now, as a matter of fact, the limit upon
the height comes neither from the inner
ent weakness of the building nor from the
overturning or racking effects of the
wind. Under existing conditions the ulti-
mate limit of height is determined by a
certain clause in the present building code
of New York, which says that the max
imum pressure under the footings on a
rock bottom, If caisson foundations are
used, is not to exceed 10 tons per square
foot That is to say, If the architect and
builder and the owner see fit to do so
they may keep piling story upon story
until the pressure upon the rock under
lying the foundations has reached max
imum of Is tons to the square foot The
height to which the building may be car
ried may be anything within the whm
or purse of the owner and the skill of the
engineer-architect may choose to make it.
1t has just been figured out that, sub
ject to the above conditions, mammoth
structure 1000 feet high. would be pos
sible upon an area 200 feet square with
out exceeding the building code limit of
10 tons to the square, foot foundation
pressure. The customary story height
for office buildings is 10 feet inches from
floor to floor. After various trials Mr..
o. +. Semsch, chief engineer of the Sing
err building, has found that building of
$50 stories, 1000 feet in height would prac-
tcally be the limit.

PRICING OLD MASTERS.

From the New York World.
American connoisseurs who hope that
the Duke of Norfolk's Holbein in the
National gallery is destined to cross the
Atlantic say it is worth its weight in
gold. But English artists and experts
are protesting that it is hugely over
valued at the $3.50 600 at which the British
nation has a months option of purchas-
ing. They declare that IAN attempt is
being made to exploit public sentimental
ity to further cool and calculating BUSH
ness proposition"
The price named certainly is a large
sum to pay for a painting. Any living
artist would admit that he could cover
lot of canvas for that amount of money
but the canvas would not be a Holbein.
In the days of ancient Greece tyrant
once proposed to pay the whole debt OF
an island state on condition it sell him an
"Aphrodite" by Praxiteles. There is no
way of settling the exact cash value OF
Raphaers Madonna" and other master
pieces in the National gallery, but if they
could be offered for sale no doubt Amer
lean millionaires might be found who
would pay enough for them to help build
another Dreadnought or two Because
so very few Raphaels or Holbeins re-
main in private hands or are ever likely to
come up for sale is the very reason that
any worthy example like the Christina
of Denmark" fetches a tremendous
price.
In giving a new park to the public =
Is said that the Duke of Norfolk has
subtracted from his private fortune an
amount about equal to the price received
for this famous Holbein. Diminishing re-
ceipts from his investments in the Congo
rubber districts are supposed to account
for King Leopolds selling his celebrated
collection of paintings, which includes
number of Vandykes. The Belgians are
appealing to national sentiment to pre-
vent the loss of their country's art treas
ures, just as the English are. When
Foreign collectors are bidding against ma
tional sentiment they expect to pay a
long price, especially if they are Amer
leans National sentiment must outbid
them or be beaten The value of an old
master when 1t comes into the market is
what Ii will bring.

IT HERE is a significant difference
\CD between the freedom with which
an ex-President of the United

low in the footsteps of General Grant

BeSSemer and a Courthouse

Imperial Jefferson does not want a
dissatisfied section. It wants all Sec
tions and every beat to take a pardon
able pride in the greatest county in
the state and to rest content as parts
of it. The Bessemer section did desire
to be Topped off, but when the state re-
fused to entertain the proposition that
section very sensibly settled down as
a permanent and important part of
the states leading county. In this
spirit it asks for a courthouse that
will accommodate the legal business
arising in the south end of the county.
This request is reasonable, and no
vote should be cast against it in this
or in the north end of the county. It
is a just proposition, and it should be
Endorsed by the voters of the county.
The best way to tie the Bessemer sec
ton to the rest of the county is to
treat it fairly and justly, and this is
what the Board of Revenue proposes.
1t is what the voters will sanction and
make fact. In this way all talk of d.
vision can be ended. The Age-Herald
has full confidence that the plan will
be carried out in accordance with the
wishes and present ambition Of the
people of Bessemer.

GREATNESS.

By Alexander Pope.
Honor and shame from no condition rise,
Act well your part, there all the honor
lies.
Fortune in men has some small differ
ence made,
One fiaunts in rags, one f1utters in bro
cade;
The cobbler aproned, and the parson
gowned,
The friar hooded, and the monarch
crowned.
''What differ more (you cry) than crown
and cowl?''
I'll tell you, friend a wise man and G.
fool.
You'll find If once the monarch acts the
monk,
Or, coboler like, the parson will be
drunk;
Worth makes the man, and want Of it the
fellow;
The rest is all but leather or prunella.
Boast the pure blood of an illustrious
race,
In quiet flow from Lucrece to Lucrece;
But by your fathers worth IL yours you
rate,
Count me those only who were good and
great.
Col If your ancient but ignoble blood
Has crept through scoundrels ever since
the flood,
Col and pretend your family is young,
Nor own your fathers have been fools
so long;
What can ennoble sots, or slaves, or cow-1
ards?
Alas! not all the blood Of all the H>M-j
ards.
