POLICE IN RURAL FRANCE

Y iOill tiiC 1>tW 1Oih iliouhC.
 Paris.-An extraordinary story of rural police methods comes from Pont- carre, a little summer resort situated on the edge of the forest of Armain- villiers, where a tramp murdered an old woman, tine proprietor of small inn. Her neighbor, nearing the old woman s screams, instead of giving the alarm, went off to fetch her husband in a vil- lage nearly mile away, leaving the woman to her fate.
 The husband thought he had better tell the local watchman, and went off to the latters house. The watchman In his turn decided he must inform the mayor, who was working at Edouard de Roths- child's chauteau, which is in the neigh borhood. The mayor immediately set out for the scene, accompanied by the watch man, a commercial traveller from Paris, who happened to be in the village, and a local wineshop keeper.
 Through the windows of the murdered womans inn they could see the murderer rifing the upstairs rooms, but the mayor refused to act until the gendarmes arr rived. When the tramp came down. stairs the party saw him stepping over his victim, who lay dead in a pool of blood. Only after the guardians of public order had watched the violation of the law for 20 minutes did the watchman de- eide to take action, crying, "Open in the name of the law!" and beating on the door.
 But the murderer opened a back win dow and escaped easily into the black depths of the forest.

Bank Failures To Be Investigated

In his charge to the January grand jury Judge Frank Cahalan of the criminal couxt asked the jurors to make a vigorous Investigation of failures of two small banks here and if any evidence of em- bezzlement, collision or fraud is discov- cred to indict the bank officers and the borrowers of the bank that received the money.
 During the last 12 months,' said Judge Cahalan. 'there have been two bank fail- ures in this city One of these banks had about 5000 individuals depostors who had placed their savings with this bank. On the accounts of the bank there are about $1O0,000 which had only recently been

Adopt the Yiaduct Ordinance

Birmingham has been long suffering with the railroads in not forcing them years ago to properly safeguard human life at crossings in congested sections of the city. Finally public sentiment and the city authorities forced the railroads to make a start, and after many weeks of delay the representatives of the city and the representatives of the railroad oop,nan,es reached an agreement which would give us two viaduets-one on First avenue and the other on Twenty-eighth street.
 Important details had to be considered and the mayor and a select joint commit tee of the council on one side and railroad officials on the other conferred and de- bated In all such cases compromises have to be made and the compromises proposed in this matter have been consid- cred in business-like manner and ae- cepted by the conferees.
 The joint committee at a final meeting held last night, presided over by Mayor Exum, decided by a vote of F to to re- port the viaduct ordinance to the council tonight and recommend it's passage.
 Owners of property in the neighborhood of First avenue and Twenty-eighth street have organized to protest against the city closing certain streets regarded by engi- neers as necessary for making the via ducts effective While every citizen should have a hearing and be protected in his rights, here is case affecting the safety of the public and it is therefore of such vital importance that the city will be fully justified in exercising the right of eminent domain and proceeding to carry out the agreement reached between the railroads and the mayor and joint committees.
 It is a question of safeguarding the lives of thousands, and it is hoped the council will adopt the viaduct ordinance tonight. The people are certainly in no frame of mind to exercise further patience.

Statistics Misleading

Statistics. are often misleading unless they be carefully analysed and presented with all the facts properly related, and hence it is that prohibition figures some- times convey wrong impressions" said an old citizen. T am not an expert sta- tistician, but it is easy to see that many statistical reports can be made to prove that statewide prohibition is a failure or that it is a success, according to one s point of view.
 ''But a person of ordinary observation knows that unless public sentiment in a given community is in favor of prohibi- ton illicit traffic in liquor is carried on extensively, and in the case of large cities the prohibition law is frghtfully scam dalized. A stock argument which radical or minimizing prohibtionists offer in re- ply to the charge that prohibition laws arc violated is this: So is the law against murder violated; but who says the law should be repealed?' Now, that sort of talk is not relevant to the question. Mur- der is Q crime in itself; sin in the sight of heaven. There is only one side to that matter; whereas drinking liquor is not a crime per SC. The liquor ques- tion and the matter of those crimes, which al lagree are crimes, are not, there fore, in the same class by any means.
 "Those of our good friends who are now urging that the Fuller act be not changed fail to consider public sentiment; fail to reckon with the human nature element in the whole matter. Had the l.il@ hox of ba legislature just passing out been little less extreme and passed laws less dras- tic ,than those now on the books, the attitude of the majority of citizens would be very different from what it is. If pro- vision had been made for the sale of beer, and tor hotels to serve liquor to their guests, I doubt if there would have been any very pronounced demand at this time for a repeal of the laws.
 By the way, if Jefferson county had not voted dry in 1907. that million-dolar hotel in Birmingham so much desired would have been built and in operation two years ago. The project had been | financed. The bar privilege in an elegant l hotel in a city the size of Birmingham would be worth fully $25,00O year.
 | "rne right view to take of this whole question. after the experience we have had, is the common sense view. Blind tigers are numerous in spite of official vigilance. Bad whisky is sold. Men get drunk and commit bloody crimes; and neither city, county nor state get any revenue from the illicit liquor traffic. Dis pensary or high license and strict regu- lation would certainly do more for morals | than the blind tiger"

When the receiver tool

placed there. When the receiver took charge there were only few thousand.
 'I do not know that there was anything criminal in the failure. When people lose their life savings they should certainly have protection. I charge you to look
 into the failure of these banks. If you find any fraudulent conversion of funds. any collision to defraud, I charge you to find indictments against the lender and the borrower as well, if there is sufficient evidence.
 "It was the poorer class of people that lost by those failures. You will find the receivers report of one of these banks in the chancery court. This will help you. Do not let the name of the bank or banker hinder you. Crime cannot be committed under the name of bank or banker and go unpunished.
 The investigation that Judge Cahalan has ordered the grand jury to conduct will be helpful and protective provided it be searching and fearless. This no doubt it will be. and in this way exploiters may ascertain that Alabama laws and Ala bama methods are not to be trifed with Justice should be done in the two cases mentioned by Judge Cahalan.

Reinstatement of Turnkey EefS

The turnkey fee or the one-dolar-in and one-dollar-out jail charge is thus ex- piained by Maj. Pohn D. Hagan in the Mobile Register. Tt is a fact undisputed and shown in the auditors report that occasionally sheriff collects as many as six or more fees, and frequently as many as four fees from the county on one case

And yet the sheriff g statewide ring has met and decided to have tine turnkey fee restored to the dis tressed sheriffs If" says the Mont- gomery Times, anyone can tell us why certain set of officers should be paid l three, four or five times what their places are worth, we will crown him as a mathematician to whom the solution of the problem as to Ann's age would be a light and airy nothing, mere bagatelle a puff of smoke.'

 Much Ado About Nothing.
Alabama Coal in Demand

The director of the Geological survey says the production of coal In Alabama reached in 1910 the unprecedented total of 100000 tons, as compared with lS,- 70s91o tons in 1909.
 This was to a considerable extent due to a long drouth and ice periods in the Ohio river, for when conditions are fav- orable the people of Louisiana seem to prefer Pennsylvania coal, mined 2OoO miles away, to Alabama coal, mined close at hand. But navigation conditions have not been favorable this winter and they are not today. True some coal has been started on barges from Pittsburg, but no one expects the barges to go beyond Cin- cinnati before the river is closed by ice.
 As soon as the Warrior and Tombigbee are fully opened, New Orleans will have no excuse far preferring Pennsylvania coal to Alabama coal. The one is mined 2000 miles away and the other 300 miles. The Alabama coal will yet assert itself at New Orleans, and in all other gulf ports and at Colon. Today this district is fill ing all bunkers at New Orleans, and what is good in the bunkers is good for do- mestic service. The New Orleans mar ket must be wrested from Pittsburg in wet seasons as well as in dry ones.

had been well completed, for all had pass ed the allotted age. still all were held dear in life and their going was mourned throughout the civilized world.
 Among the dead are the artists John La Faree, William Holman-Hunt and
 Winslow Homer; the sculptors, Larken Goldsmith Mead and John Quincy Adams Ward the actress, Agnes Booth, and Florence Nightingale. the Angel of the Crimea."
 The list of the years dead comprises many other illustrlous names, but litera- ture was after all the chief sufferer from the man with the scythe in the year just ended. Virginia moufns the death of Senator John Warwick Daniel, who, as a speaker, ranked alongside Senator Deliver. John G. Carlisle, native of Kentucky, was also among those who died, and the death of Mary Baker c. Eddy, toward the end of the year distressed large number of sim cere followers.

From the Oregon Journal.
 three-months study of the leading newspapers of New York led to the fol- lowing classification as to the value of their news items: Demoralizing, 22S5; un- wholesome 1884; trivial, 2100: worth while, BOO, or 39 per cent. The items were passed upon by an educator and were made the subject of an attack on the press by a New York pulpiteer.
 Even under the high standard exacted by the directors, 8 per cent of the news matter was worth while. AS suggested by the New York World, in how many of the activities of life is the quality of achievement so high as 39 per cent? Are 39 per cent of the human careers in this country a success according to the stand ard that the world fixes as successful? Are 39 per cent of the school teachers of the country as good as they ought to be? Are 8 per cent of the sermons preached of that quality and excellence that the saving of souls demands?
 Thirty-nine per cent of excellence, ad- judged by one who is evidently a critic of the newspapers, is in actual fact a commendation of the press. Legislation, the drama, art, literature or music, can not point to so excellent an average. Government, statesmen and every profes- sion is studded with inefficiency and fail ure. The social fabric itself is per meated with wrecks, derelicts and down and outs.
 The millions who are poor in contrast with the few who are rich are examples of our inefficiency as governors of our selves. The ineffectiveness of our public roads is single example out of hun dreds to prove that 39 per cent of ou1 public life is not worth wbile. Many are prone to criticize the press and to insist that they know better than the successful publishers how to make a newspaper. But what kind of paper would the average critic make how many critics would 1t have and how long would 1t survive?
