Why Peevy's Nnme Remains

To the Editor of The Age Her,ld:
 Referring to the matter published by you concerning MT. Hinds Peevy's name on the county ticket as candidate for state senator. l wish to announce that MT. Peevv qualified as candidate for that place and that he has never given me any notice of his withdrawal. My duty required me to certify tn C names of all persons who qualified. IT l had not done so and the name had not been on the ticket MT. Peevy could have justly claimed that l should have certified his name. The newspaper article announcing his withdrawal was not official I could not know 1t was his desire to have his name left off the ticket without communication tt that effect from him.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Anti-Tuberculosis Society

| To the Editor of The Age-heralo: Several days ago you published let ter from pr. Lewis Minor suggesting that an Anti-Tuberculosis society be organ ized In Birmingham, and suggesting that The Age-Herald and pr. R. B. Hardness take the initiatory steps toward organiz- ing this society.
 As a citizen deeply interested in this movement I write to urge you and Dr. Hardness to take active steps in regard to this organization. I believe that there are at least 5000 citizens in Greater BiI- mingham who are deeply interested in an organization of this kind. and will gladly join and pay membership fee of $l per year.
 I would suggest that this society be or- ganized, headquarters established and a young physician be selected as secretary who shall have charge of this headquar- ters and report all needy cases of tuber- culosis that are in Greater Birmingham. so that assistance could be given to these patients.
 I believe that if strong organization is established in Birmingham pressure could be brought to bear on the next legis- lature that will authorize the Board of Revenue of Jefferson county to build a
 tuberculosis sanitarium" in this county. I also believe that an organization of this kind will be of great assistance in urg- ing the next governor of Alabama to es- tablish a state sanitarium for tuher- culosis.
 Since you have published the letter of Dr. Minor I have heard large number of citizens speak in most favorable terms and express themselves as thoroughly in accord with an organization of this kind. believe that The Age-Herald cannot do greater work for the people of Jefferson county than urging and assisting in or ganzng this society.
 I hope you will make an active campaign for the same. Yours very truly, J. A. ROUNTREE.

WINTER SCARCE
1T WILL BE MORE EXPENSIVE

SON BECAUSE OF THE
SHORT CROPS.

Canned fruit Is likely 10 be n great

according TO local dealers. The APP
pie crop in Michigan falls consider
ably below this year, in fact is just
80 per cent less. This is going to
make Michigan apples more costly.
Summer and fail fruits, according
to the wholesale dealers in Calumet
are scarcer and higher in price this
year than for some time. In northern
Michigan the fruit and berry crop is
almost a total failure, due to frosts In
the late spring and to the early sum-
mer drought
Blueberries and raspberries are not
to be found in sufficient quantities 10
pay pickers to go out into the woods
and slashlngs for them, and the out
side buyers who regularly come here
about this time have passed up this
territory altogether this season. Even
the home grocerymen cannot get
enough berries to anywhere near sup
ply their trade.
Generally speaking. the fruit crop
in other parts of the country is poor.
Peaches in lower Michigan are ex-
pected to be a fair crop. but they
are likely to command stir prices.
Peaches now in the market are com
ing from Georgia and one dealer stated
yesterday that he believed people could
buy just as cheaply now as next month
when the Michigan crop Will be put
on the market.
Canteloupes are scarcer than usua,
and are selling at higher prices than
two weeks ago. Melons now in the
market are shipped from Arkansas
but within a short time the Colorado
crop will be ready for market. Vege
tables are also hard to obtain and most
OF those i'm the market are of dollhouse
growth.
In the face OF the shortage OF the
fruit crop the people Of the present day
are better off than those of former
generations, ut any rate, as the can
neries and preserving companies are
putting up all kinds OF fruit. which
compares very favorably with the
home-canned article and which is solo
at prices within the reach of all.

railroad have of late been worried
about children who make a practice

company, crawling under the cars to
play hide-and- seek and under fruit
cars to pick UP fruit. AS the chill
dren are nearly all small. the officials
do not wish to use harsh measures
but request the. mothers Of the chill
dren to warn them of the danger of
playing around the tracks. If steps
are not taken to keep the children
out Of the danger, serious accidents
may result.

Justice is Blind

There is something wrong with the
weights and measures Of justice, or
with the hand that holds the scales and
mete: out the punishment.
AS long as criminals are. to be punish
ed, so long should evil doers be punish
ed equitably.
The goddess Of justice is pictured as
blind, but it does sometimes seem that
the lady is also deaf and dumb. armless,
asleep. paralyzed and possessed OF a
wooden leg.
The inequality Of the Justice" emanat-
ing from our courts is well illustrated in
two cases recently tried.
In Illinois cue man was acquitted OF
the murder Of young girl, whose bullet
riddled body was found in PeoriaQl.)
hotel, to which she had been taken by
the man to whom she had given all that
a woman can give-her honor. He
had taken her from her home to tell her
that their intimacy must cease, and that
instead of marrying her as he had one
time promised to 90, he brutally inform
ed her that another would be his bride.
He left her. The girl, life wrecked
and honor lost, killed herself. The man
was not guilty in the eyes Of the law.
But when you come to the other case
we note how the law does punish-for
some crimes. In New York court, on
the same day,a young man was sentenced
to spend 80 years in the state penitenti-
ary for trying to steal $500 from
wealthy mans house.
That was burglary. The law Furnishes
burglary Of gold and silyer-or toothpicks.
They are property" The court pro-
teds property with diligence worthy Of
commentator.
But the burglary Of a young girls
honor is different matter altogether.
And driving her into suicides grave
afterwards i: not killing her-in the eyes
Of the law.
There would be less white slave"
traffic to investigate were a woman's
honor property" and the burglar Of it
awarded his full measure Of punishment.
