THE PARASITES.
tor Ell Paso Herald:

Editor FL Paso Herald:
At the recent ZuebIin lecture I no
ticed q large number Of charity asso-
citation workers, club women OF the
Women's club, Civic club. and Sunshine
Workers. I was informed that these
organizations attended in a body TO
show their approval of the playground
movement as did also the teachers OF
the city schools. Aside from the par
ents belonging to these organiza lions,
there was a noticeable scarcity. The
thought struck me that the parents OF
the children for whom this movement
Is being projected, could not be very
interested or else they would have
taken this opportunity TO show their
interest as encouragement to those
who have taken up the work in the
interest of their children
If the ones who are most vitality con-
cerned and who Will be most benefited
show no interest and are not willing
TO help along the movement. how can
they hope for its accomplishment? Or
Is IL that the parents OF the vast ma
jOrtty are complaisantIy and selfishIy
sitting back with folded hands and
closed pockets knowing that whatever
is good for the children will be done
whether they DO their part or not? Or
perhaps they argue that public bene-
fits should all be done out of public
funds.

lie funds" are the pocket OF the tax
payers-the few individuals of a com
munity who give substantially and

FAVORS ABOLITION
 OF JUSTICES COURTS
Justice of the Peace J. M. Taylor of Pratt City Makes
 Statement

That he favored the abolition of all the existing justices courts and the estab- lishment in their place of an inferior court or some court of like nature was the statement of l.. NJ. Taylor, a justice of the peace of Pratt City.
 MT. Taylor has been in Montgomery . few times looking into the abolishment of the offices of justices of the peace in Greater Birmingham and says he thinks some measure putting the offices out of business will be adopted.
 'I favor the creation of a court in the place of the Justices of the peace,' said MT. Taylor. However, what steps are best to take cannot say. If the enact- ment advocated by Judge Abernethy is proper, I favor that However, Repre- sentative Barnard of our city also has bill and I cannot say which will be adopted. There should be some remdy of the existing order of things
 The sentiment favoring the abolition of the justices courts is growing among the business men and in legal circles. It is believed that the bill will remedy to a marked extent the practices complained of in this district and will as well afford protection to the ili-informed classes. h the bill to be introduced there are provi- sions that tend to correct great many abuses which are now said to exist.

 dispensary plan is one of the most san est solutions of the prohibition question here and in drafting his measure this week will try to formulate a plan which will be agreeable to all the interests in favor of the reformation of the ex- isting prohibition laws.
 In speaking of his proposed measure yesterday afternoon Senator Morrow said he did not have the plan outlined fully yet and it would be a day or so before final results could be given out.
 1T will draft a dispensary bill this week." said Senator Morrow, which will estab blish system of dispensaries in Bir- ningham and Jefferson county to be man. aged by a board of commissioners. In ad. dition to allowing the sale of whisky in the bulk it is my plan to license the clubs and cafes of Birmingham to sell beer and light wines. In order to have every feature of the proposed legislation exempted from any misunderstanding will try and get the Jefferson county del- egation into conference with the sole purpose In view of agreeing upon some- thing to relieve the situation here. I favor the establishment. of dispensary here because it seems to be the sentiment of the people and it will do away with the questionable measures said now to exist here in the procuring of refreshments.
 That Jefferson county would be given dispensary if requested and if the local people wanted it, was the statement of Senator Watt Brown of St. Clair county yesterday as he was leaving for Mont gomery.
 Jefferson county comes very near get ting whatever is requested.' said Senator Brown "and if the local delegation selects the dspensary as the best solution of their own particular problem, then l should judge that such would be estab- lished by the legislature. I have not been acquainted with the proposed meas ure of Senator Morrow, but as generally discussed, 1t contemplates the dispensary system as the key to your local problems. If in the judgment of Senator Morrow this is the right thing to do and he has the backing of the house delegation l can not see any reason why it should not be the thing for the senate to enact. However, Il must not be understood that am-indorsing MT. Morrow's proposed bill before seeing it. The point I wish to make is that Birmingham and Jeffer- son county can get almost any legsla- tion desired and the dispensary project comes under that head"
 The dispensary sentiment seems to be pretty strong here. AS an indication of the way men are thinking party com posed of Lieut.. Gov Henry B. Gray, for mer Mayor Melville Drennen, A. D. Light her of the Frisco lines, Sydney J. Bowie, Gen. Louis V. Clark and others in dis oussing the dispensary solution for Bir- mingham, all agreed that in preference to the open saloon the dispensary was much to be desired.

GOSSIP OF MERGER
Vice President BOwron Back From East and Thinks the Trade Sit uation Is Much More
 Encouraging

That Cecil Grenfell, chairman of the board of directors of the Southern Iron and Steel company, will visit Birmingham about February 2S, accompanied probably by other prominent men, was the state ment of James Bowron, vice president of the Southern Iron and Steel company last night
 MT. Bowron has recently returned from the east where he has been in confer ence with MT. Grenfell and others in terested in the company He said last night that when he left New York it was the intention of MT. Grenfell to come to Birmingham on February 28. He will also be accompanied by Joseph H. Hoadley, president of the Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron company, If information re- ceived in Birmingham late yesterday afternoon is correct. While there is noth- ing definite to be given out in Brming- ham regarding a probable consolidation of the two companies, the fact that the two men closely connected with the sep arate companies are to be here together adds interest to the gossip which has been general for some time.
 Mr. Bowron, whose opinions are al- ways conservative regarding trade af- fairs, was very optimistic yesterday and talked encouragingly of the trade out look. He said.
 "There is a feeling in the east of a better condition in the iron and metal markets. However, the buyers are not in clined to rush into active trading, but are temperate and conservative just at this time. There is hopeful opinion
 prevailing and the most conservative thinkers believe the business conditions to be better. They are inclined to be quiet until the pending decisions of the supreme court of the United States are made And they believe these will come in two or three weeks. However, no one can tell and 1t may be several weeks before those cases are decided. But im- mediately following the decisions, the business interests will adjust themselves. "As to the Southern Iron and Steel company's merging with any other com pany cannot make any statement" con- tnued MT. Bowron.
 "I am simply attending to the operating end of the company's affairs and that is running along satisfactorily. I have heard some talk of actions to take place but must be excused from discussing them"
 In confirming a report as to MT. Gren- fells coming to Birmingham, MT. Bow l ron said: r. "Mr. Grenfell and I were in conference l last Friday in New York. He told me at that time that he would be in Birming- ham about February 28. He will probably be accompanied by some other gentlemen. I have no information as to the personnel of the party, howeveW'

BOARD OF TRADE
 TAKES NO ACTION
Does Not Commit Itself Regarding Matter of Legalizing
 Dispensary

At special meeting of. the Board of Trade, held yesterday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock for the purpose of dis cussing the dispensary question, it was decided by the members to take no &C., tion in the matter.
 The meeting had been called by President B. H. Cooper at the request of various members of the organiza- tion who had been approached in re- gard to the matter laid before the board. The sentiment of the gathering was against assuming any attitude whereby the organization would havo to transcend its proper sphere to en- ter into a matter which belongs simply to legislation.
 The board expressed itself to this end when on the motion of John l.. Parker, a brief resolution was pre- pared setting forth the opinion of the members. The resolution was adopted and the meeting immediately ad- journed.
