Is Thy Servant a Dog?

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 There was a time in the history of Ala bama when equality between the blacks and the whites being unthought of, there were laws not applicable alike to the two races. and it may not be amiss, consid- ering the great changes that have been worked by time that a retrospect be taken, that we may see where we are at or what time O day 1t is in this day of progress.
 In times agone, malt liquors were not considered by the lawmakers of Alabama, spirituous and vinous liquors being the only ones of which the law took cogni- zance, as is clearly manifested by the terms of the ancient statutes to which reference will be made. In former times, even licensed sellers of vinous and spir- ituous liquors had to subscribe an oath that they would not sell such liquors to slaves, and the then statutes prohibited the sale of such liquors-malt liquors not being mentioned-to slaves, imposing upon offenders against the statutes imprison- ment in the >penitentiary for not less than two nor moreNt than five years. Under the laws as they then stood, evidence that a slave was seen in the night time or on Sunday going into a place where spiritu- ous or vnous liquors or merchandise were sold, and coming out with the same; or that such slave was seen at such time on such a day immediately after coming out of such a place, in possession of spirituous or vinous liquors. was presump- tive evidence of the guilt of the defend- ant. So strict were the laws at that time before the doctrine of perfect equality

That was all. But today, by Heavens, you not only have to look out for all those with some of your eyesight, but you have to keep part of 1t aimed at the sky above for south bound aeronauts whose little aeroplanes have failed to aero properly

had been forced upon us, that 1t was un- lawful to employ the services even of A free person of color in drawing off or selling liquor, slaves being within the in- hfbition as well as the aforementioned free persons of color.
 Equality Is now to be perfected it is to be accomplished ad unguem but whether that equality is about to be established by elevating the lower ao the higher or by degrading the higher to the lower, must be left to the palates of those who shall read this presentation of some of the old laws of the state of Alabama. Tie statutes of the United States relative to the selling of liquors to Indians were quite as drastic as Alabama laws relative to the selling of liquors to slaves, the In- dian being quite much the ward of the general government as the slaves were Of the slave states; but the genus homo, order primates, species Africanus has been made Into new creature, as St. Paul says, and the Indian belongs to a class a1- together to himself unless fin the course of human events we shall all be brought into one class as q people who are to be deprived of a liberty through fear that we will degrade 1t into a license. I have cited the Legislation relative to the Indian that cheap logic may not go off at A tangent and indulge in pyrotechnics rela- tive to the protection of the property rights of slave owners in slaves, for na such argument is to be indulged relative to the Indian. and the latter was consid- cred as nothing more than a creature who could not distinguish between liberty and license, and was therefore to be cur tailed of his liberty, having none other than was expressly conferred upon him by the grace of his guardian
 Have we not herein a foretaste of what a master spirit will do when it sees that it can arrogate to itself the power to do as 1t willP Not even the drastic legisla- ton relative to Indians and slaves will satisfy the lust and intemperance of those who, in the language of St. Paul. would compel you to such things that they may glory in your flesh; may sit back y1 take the fiattering unction to their souls that they have constrained you even as slaves and Indians were wont to be. What spirit there may be fin you I do not know; but that you are the mere ward of a dictatorial guardian, if such laws are to be fastened upon you, Is not to be questioned. Respectfully,
 A. LATADY.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Would Use Gentle Means.

To the Editor of The Age Herald
 l have been reading your esteemed daily for quite a while, and the more know of 1t the. better I like it. It stands in my esteem pre-eminent to all others in the south, hence I am glad to read in it's columns account of the convention which recently met in Montgomery to wage a campaign against the constitution al amendment as proposed by Governor Conner. It seems that there was great upheaval of the "Old Guard"
 When I notice in attendance such men as eX-Governors Oates, Cobb and Jelks and the distinguished Knox all honoring the convention with their presence, and lending their aid to the defeat of that amendment which If engrafted into the constitution of Alabama, will be power ful blow at the very fundamental prin- ciples of our republican form of govern ment. Some of the new laws passed by the extra session of the legislature have, l believe, been already declared unconsti- tutional.
 Let us ever keep ourselves in touch with that great principle that underlies the very bulwark of our freedom-the Constitution As to prohibition, that Is all right, and no doubt but that 1t has done much good, and will continue to do good throughout the commonwealth of Alabama.
 But we should not be precipitous in the use of such means as the Fuller pro- hibition bill to effect a reformation Good words and gentle means will beat it. Very truly J. R. MORGAN.

Bond Issue for Roads.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald. Why can't you boost s50O0,000 bond is- sue for good roads and more bridges in the rural districts as well as a new jail and courthouse for Birmingham? We don't need a new courthouse unless we can get to it.
 Good roads to Birmingham, then a new courthouse will follow. Take it up with the board at once to issue bonds on the November 29 election as 1t won't cost much. Yours sincerely.

REDUCTION IN LIGHT RATE
After the First of the Year the Minimum
Light Rate viii be Redued from
$3.50 to I 90

Mr.. Jacobsen, manager OF the Tum-
water Light & Water Co. told a re-
porter for this paper the past week
that after the first Of next month the
minimum rate for light service would
be reduced from $50 per month
$1.0O In making this voluntary
reduction the company indicates
a disposition to be fair with its
patrons, the small consumers will
doubtless appreciate this fact. This
reduction will probably not make any
reduction in the light bills during the
winter months, but during the summer
months many residence consumers
will, thru the reduction, save fifty cents
each month on their light bill.

Neither Does leaVenworth

"Sneaks and thieves don't adver-
tise," was the text Of an immigration
sermon recently delivered by Nc
Minnville, Oregon minister. He fol-
lowed this up by showing the value of
intelligent publicity work in attracting
settlers to the Pacific Northwest and
the benefits alike to the newcomer and
the country settled. Each settler means
added wealth to the state and in return
the Pacific States offer greater oppor-
tunity to the man from the older sec
tions of the country. The Northwest
has a duty to perform, believes this
pastor, in bringing people from the
overcrowded districts OF the East to
this land of opportunity and live cities
in the Northwest are making the most
of their advantages in attracting set
tiers

Death of James B. Phair

Mr.. Phair died last Sunday from a
complication of ills resulting from ca
tarrh. He came here from Wallace,
Idaho, last August, and went to work
in the mill. Some two months ago he
was compelled to quit work and had
been confined to his bed ever since.
The family consisted Of his wife and
one child, about year old. The fam
lily was in straightened circumstances
but was not permitted to suffer for the
necessaries Of life or medical attention.
Mr.. Phair was born in Philadelphia,
June 10, 1878, and was married to
Miss George Martin in 1907, in Brit
ish Columbia. The remains were laid
to rest in the Leavenworth cemetery
Wednesday afternoon. Marcus Martin,
a brother OF Mrs. Phair, arrived from
Moyie, B. c., Monday, Immediately
after the funeral Mrs. Phair left for
British Columbia with her brother.

wENATCHEt REPUBLIC BUTTS IN
1t Still Maintains Its Struggle to be
"Different"

With an occasional exception, such
as will not affect the general result, the
republican press Of eastern Washington
will support Miles Poindexter for U. S.
senator. The Wenatchee Republic
opposes him, but The Republic is not
a republican newspaper and can have
no influence with republican voters.
The selection OF a senator will be with
the republican voters for the simple
reason that that party is largely in the
majority, not only in Chelan county
but in almost every county in the state.
Before being elected to congress
Mr.. Poindexter served a term as prose-
cutting attorney in Walla Walla county.
He was then, after removing to Spokane,
elected to the superior court bench in
Spokane county. In every position to
which the voters have called him he
has made good, to use a popular ex-
preston. In selecting public ser
want we must estimate man by what
he has done in the past. An affirma-
tive answer to the question, Has he
discharged his duties with ability and
fidelity to the people in other posi-
tions," will go far with all intelligent
voters. Mr.. Poindexter is before the
voters on his record. His supporters,
knowing what that reco.d is, rely con-
fidently on that pulling him thru.

Birthday Party

Little Miss Oral Violette celebrated
her first birthday last Tuesday after
noon. Mrs. J. B. Violette entertained
a number of her family friends in honor
of her baby's first birthday. Little
Oral has been sick the past summer,
but is now so much improved that her
mother decided to celebrate the event
by inviting her friends to birthday
party. A pleasant afternoon was spent
in social intercourse, after which all the
guests retired to the dining room and
partook Of a delightful lunch. The
table was beautifully decorated with
cut flowers, ferns and holly.
Those present were Mrs. R. J.
Smith, Mrs. B. M. Wheeler, and Misses
Esther and Ella Wheeler and Master
Buster Wheeler, the Misses Belle and
Susie Smith, Miss Ella Gunderson and
Master Harold Taggart.

SWITCHMEN STRIKE SITUATION
Report Current that an Early Settlement
of Trouble Between Railroad and
Switchmen VIII Be Made

For the past day or two, or since
Thursday, there have been rumors OF
an early settlement Of the trouble be-
tween the railroad company and its
striking switchmen. Both parties to
the wage controversy, for such It IS,
have manifested a disposition to make
concessions. What those concessions
are we have not learned, but some OF
the switchmen say it will mean an ad-
vance of FIVE cents per hour in the pay,
with time and half for overtime and
holidays, and the abrogation Of the
company's age limit. The switchmen
asked for six cents increase in pay,
double time for overtime and holidays,
with the removal Of the age limit,
which at present is from 25 to IS.
Just what the terms of the settlement
will be, if terms can be agreed upon,
will in all probability be announced
Saturday.
Barring the fact that the men all
quit work at this place, making it diff
cult to move trains, the strike has been
devoid OF incident worth mentioning.
A few strike breakers have been here
but no violence has been offered them
and the property Of the company has
not been disturbed, a course which is
considered highly commendatory and
has gained the men much sympathy
with the public.
A bulletin from the switchmen'S
St Paul headquarters, received Thurs
day, indicates that they are not dis
couraged, and very hopeful of gaining
their point.

DOings On the Chumstick

A surprise party was given at the
home OF Peter Fruchtnicht on Saturday
night last. Some forty of his friends
from Leavenworth, Chumstick and
Chewawa river valley were present.
The evening was spent in dancing after
which refreshments were served about
midnight, and then dancing was re-
sumed and so enjoyable was it found
that everybody forgot to go home until
morning. The night was stormy and
it rained but did not keep the young
folks from turning out. Mr.. Frucht-
