I TATE'S DIGNITY INVOLVED
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, July Especial 1.-The ac-
ton of majority of the supreme court
on the right to own and store liquors
In the state has not overshadowed the
opinion of the minority, which, in hold
Ing that the state and cities have rights
that would tend to prevent this, has
attracted attention to q line of thought
that may be worked out before the extra
session OF the legislature. The friends of
the prohibition laws feel that IL there Is
finality In the majority ruling in all its
apparent features, it is going to be mighty
hard to keep the enemies of the acts from
Gripping them.
The legislature will be met in the be-
ginning of Its session with the fact that
a majority of the court holds that there
Is no way to prevent holding liquors in
public places, and the idea will be to
find way around this. Suggestions
growing out of the opinion of the mi
nority may be effective to lead a way.
In the opinion, written by Mr.. Justice
Mcclellan and concurred in by Mr.. Jus
tice benson, it is held that the city of
Bessemer had a right to prevent storage
in place where soft drinks are Sold
and the theory that under police power
the state can take cognizanee of such
storage Is upheld.
THE state has adopted the policy"
says the opinion, "of prohibiting the trait
fic of intoxicants. This power it right
fully has. Having that power, 1t has
also. and necessarily, the 'ancillary
power to give effect to the major objec-
tive and policy of the state in this field
of exercise of the police power. I cannot
agree to curtail the 'ancillary' power to
the major end, and thereby largely par
alyze the arm of the state in it's efforts
to prevent evasions of the major law
To do SO Is a serious matter, involving
the dignity OF the state. respect for it's
laws and the enforcement thereof"

Ressemer AGAIN Victor.

The Louisville and Nashville baseball
team from Birmin CHAM went down in
defeat before the local boys this after
noon in spite of the ragged playing of
the Bessemer team. Fancher was hit
freely but was effective in pinches and
only two runs were scored on him.
Louisville and Nashville played jam
up ball until the ninth, when they went
up in the air and allowed Bessemer to
make six runs after Trotter had popped.
In the first inning Louisville and
Nashville jumped on Fancher. and
owing to one hit, a base on balls and
two errors drove in two scores, but
there the scoring stopped and the plate
was crossed no more by them. AL
though they had men on second and
third repeatedly the necessary hit was
fective work of Fancher. The oppos-
ing pitcher. zwall. pitch ed good ball
until the ninth, when he apparently
became Disguised at the dumb work
of his teammates and dropped the ball
over allowing Bessemer to bat out as
many runs as they liked. The score

The game had been scheduled for
Birmingham, but owing to an agree
ment was transferred here. The home
team tn erefore went to the bat first.
The team needs a shortstop badly as

New British Cavalry Sword.
the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
The pattern of the new cavalry sword
has now been approved for manufacture.
1t differs from those of previous patterns
chiefly in being fitted with a straight
tapering blade to facilitate thrusting. Tho
guard is shaped to afford more protection
on the left side, and the grip is formed
to fit the hand, recess for the thumb
being cut in the back. The scabbard Is
a straight taper from end to end and
made of steel. The weight of the sword
is about two pounds IA ounces, and of the
scabbard one pound six ounces.
Historically, The Times observes, the
adoption of a thrusting sword Is of in
terest as being a reversion to the single
edged rapier of the seventeenth century,
the period when, according to some of our
most eminent authorities the qualities of
a fighting sword were best understood,
armor having practically gone out of
use and firearms being still very imper-
feet.
Such an authority as Captain Hutton is
understood to object to a sword special
lied for thrusting. on the ground that a
man cannot fight his way out of a crowd
with it. 1t may, too. be objected that the
sword is comparatively heavy, but that
may be due to the British troopers we'll
known prejudice in favor of certain
amount of weight.

Cities Without Taxes,

From Success Magazine.
Nobody took trouble to dispute an as
sertion of the comptroller of the greatest
American city to the effect that IF this
city were run on a business basis, II
man big enough could be found to run
1t and see to the collection of all proper
revenues. 1 am sure that by 1925 we could
take care of all essentials without one
cent of taxes"
Instead of being grappled with as an
altruism, this declaration was allowed
to pass outside the fields of controversy
with all the silent honors due truism.
The circumstance is important. 1t in
dicates, for one thing. release from the
thraldom of that popular derisive cpl
gram, Nothing is certain but death and
taxes"
1t contributes, too, along with recent
Investigations, prosecutions,--and occa-
sional ''jail sentences" to the evidence
that the mood of the people toward
the failure Of our political scheme to en-
able us really to govern ourselves Is less
complaisant, even somewhat sullen, and
Increasingly constructive.
That mood may even be- ready to re-
ceive so fantastic an extension of the
comptroller's notion as that, instead of
Sitting the purses of It's citizens, city
ought really to be paying them divi-
dends

Bessemer, July Especial 1.-The
rangements for the extension of the
course of study of the high school and
members declare that they intend to
make more improvements. At the
regular meeting of the council on
Tuesday night the board will present
dition of a chemistry course under the
personal direction of superintendent
Persons, who has had much experience
in the chair. A manual arts course will
also be added as well as a course of
English, history, and also French that
will admit graduates to the universe
ties of the south without examination.
The addition of these studies under
capable instructors, which have been
secured by the board, will bring the
Bessemer high school on a par with the
leading high sch ools of the south, and
will enable the board to accomplish its
endeavors to make 1t the logical con-
nection between the public school and
the universities The board of educa-
ton has long striven for this and is
naturally much gratified at the result
of its efforts.
Great regret has been expressed on
account of the resignation of T. Y.
Huffman from the board of education
on account of his removing his resi-
dence from Bessemer, and 1t Is the feel
ing among his coworkers that the city
has lost conscientious and hard work
er for the benefit of the children
through the public schools. The coun-
Gil will use its judgment in selecting
a man to fill Mr.. Huffmans place, and
they will give much attention to secur-
ing a competent man to supply the
vacancy.

and when he brought 1t around refused
to buy it. An alteration ensued during
which Robinson was cursed. Then he
proceeded to take 1t out on the two walt
ers. Robinson made bond and went home.

Few people comprehend what

sickness entails. DIR. Reed, of
Cincinnati, asserts after careful
calculation, that the actual loss
from sickness in every seven
years would be sufficient to pay

cate the army and navy, to deep
en- our inland waterways, to
double our shipping and com
merce, to pay our national debt,
to abolish taxes and to put a bill

of the tremendous waste of
health and strength is half true,
we might well ask. what can be
done?
