F|VE-CENT FARE ID COME UP TOMORROW Meeting of Commission
 Will Be Important ROUTINE YESTERDAY No Morning Session Held Because of Chairman Exum's Absence and
 Afternoon Session Was
 Uneyentful
ROUTINE YESTERDAY

The commissioners failed to meet cause of the absence of President Exum. The meeting was passed until 3 o'clock, at which time the commits sion transacted very little business of importance. The commission adjourned at 4 o'clock after having been in ses- sion 45 minutes. And the adjourn ment was until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
 The meeting yesterday afternoon was taken up with the reading of a few communications to the body, the ap- proval of certain communications and the investigation as to fees due the city from the criminal court clerk of Jefferson county.
 Strong Fight Expected
 A great deal of interest is manifest ed in the meeting tomorrow because of the important question up for con- sideration. The 5-eent care fare from Ensley to Birmingham, in which sev- eral thousand people are vitally con- cerned, will be one chief proposition. Indications point to strenuous re- sistance on the part of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. John P. Tillman. vice. president and general counsel for the company, and President A. H. Ford will both appear before the commissioners and give their reasons for athe present 10-cent fare and the wherefores against the pro- posed order of the commission reduc- ing the fare to cents.
 Judge Lane is the author of the proposed 5-cent care fare idea and it is apparent that he and the other com missioners will exact a most convince ing reason from the company or order the 5-cent car fare payable In the place of 10 cents. The fight against 10-cent fare has been waged with unceasing vigor by the people of Ensley, Wylam and Pratt City for a long time. Coun- cilmanic action was unfayorable. It Is the opinion of the students of the ques- tion that thet company will be required to reduce their alleged discriminatory fare against the territory embraced in the 10-cent charge.
 Viaduct Matter
 The general impression is that the viaduct matter will not be taken up until Saturday. However, develop ments have taken place during the past few days which will perhaps cause the question to come up tomorrow. Judge Lane, as is generally known. holds the absolute key to that question and 1t has revolved into question for only one mind. 1
 Again Judge Lane said that the mat ter was being seriously considered and that Saturday may be the first moment that he can reach the viaduct question. Whether Friday or Saturday, it is be- lieved the viaduct matter will only be before the public for a few days longer before finally settled.
 Other questions alike in importance as the viaduct and 5-cent fare will be features of the meeting of tomorrow.

Letters to the Editor
That Street Gang Eyesore

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 This mornings paper brings your report of the interview granted to the commit tee of the Pastors union by the city commissioners on Tuesday. You do not give the arguments for abolition of con- vict work on the streets of this civilized community, but you do give Judge Lanes opposing arguments. Hence, as this Is very much the concern of all of us and as our committee would not take up time by repeating what the doctors had already said, I would suggest that you persuade Dr. T. D. Parke to let you print the carefully prepared paper which he read before the Pastors union on Monday morning.
 However, I write this word especially to correct the impression unintentionally carried by your report, that there was a note of criticism in the words or action of the Pastors union. ; On the contrary, We very well know the kindliness and the integrity of Judge Lane. and his past in valuable services to this city. Person. ally, I prize these qualities in our three
 
 uable assets of Birmingham, and I am sure the Pastors union would be gener- ally grieved to find themselves just now in the position of hostile critics. More over, the members of the commission were earnestly assured that we came 10 counsel with them for the common good not to add to their already immense burdens. It was understood that the Rev. s. T. Slaton, who was on the com mittee, and who is a careful and we'll furnished student of economies, would further the reform by gathering data concerning the city prisoner problem in other cities and that we would return to the commissioners with definite pro- posals. The commission is heartily sym pathetic with the end in view, and invited our aid.
 It Is a serious question what to do with these negroes who arg subject to punish ment. One principle. however. is perfect ly plain, namely, that we must not do wrong to them. nor to the community through them. Even our fearful destitu- tion must not make us tyrants of the de- fenseless. There must be very many cit izens who are interested in this matter. l am sure your columns will be hospita- ble to all suggestions in letters of reason able length: and 1t will help civic prog rcss to have Birmingham lead the whole south in solving this lamentable prob lem, citizens and commissioners working together. This letter, however, is of such unreasonable length that I apologize and close GEO. EAVES.

WHAT THE UNITED STATES
MEANS TO THE MODERN
JEW.
(springfield, Mass, News.)

springfield, Mass, News.)
America Is peculiarly a promised
land wherein the spirit of the teach
ings of the ancient prophets inspired
the work of the fathers of our coun-
try. The founders of our government
converted the dreams OF the philoso-
piers into a political system, gov
eminent by the people, for the people,
whereunder the rights of man became
the rights of men secured and guar
anteed under written constitution.
These are the words of Oscar S.
Straus at the closing session of the
Hebrew congregations in New York
City, Wednesday night. Certainly amid
all the discord of complaints against
men of affairs and the conditions for
which they are held responsible it is
thoroughly refreshing once in a while
to read or hear such harmonious
strain in appreciation of the milk
and honey" which we do enjoy. Many
evils exist which ought not to be. Still
the general status of life is far above
what it was a few centuries or even
few generations ago, and the future
ever points onward to better things.
An expression of optimism takes on
special significance when uttered. as
in this case, by one of the leaders of
people whose whole history, from the
long ago serfdom in Egypt to the pres
ent prosecutions in Russia, has been
one of oppression and martyrdom. At
intervals their history has been illu-
minated by courageous quests for
lands of promise. These they have
