Correcting the Huge Fee System

The anti-fee bills prepared by Sidney J Bowie and E. J. Smyer and endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce look to the immediate relief of the people from ex- tortionate fees of officials and from the wholesale arrests of small misdemeanants with consequent Reorganization of labor. These bills should be pressed to passage. If they become laws they will go into effect at once, and much of the damag- ing work of deputy sheriffs. constables and the like would be stopped. Present conditions are intolerable, and 1t Is be- features of the fee system would be abol- ished by the Bowie-smyer bills.
 The passage of these bills will not, how ever, render undesirable the submission of an amendment of the constitution per hitting Jefferson county to act independ- ently in the matter of fees and salaries. Circumstances In this county differ from those in the other counties of the state. and the fee system cannot be thoroughly reformed until a constitutional amend ment is adopted.
 The two plans do not at all conflict. Both are needed. The Bowie-Smyer bills are needed In order to bring immediate relief, even though 1t be partial. and the Morrow plan looking to a constitutional amendment is needed in order that in the long run fees may be abolished in this county altogether. Both plans are excel lent and both should be supported by all who desire to see reasonable salaries sub stituted for excessive fees.

Preacher and PeWS

What can be done to increase church attendance?" has long been topic of discussion in the religious circles of large cities, and various have been the answers. Some suggestions have been freakish, not to say yellow; but among the ideas advanced by thoughtful persons systematic advertising as a means has met with much favor. Other suggestions have been for more attractive music. and in non-liturgicaI denominations, for a form of worship which would embrace some of the cherished prayers of the fath- with the masses has been urged. and there seems to be a desire in some guar, ters for preaching along sociological and "new-thought" lines.
 But in cities of vast population, Protest ant ministers have found the most eager demand perhaps, for what is known as the institutional church--a church with kitchen, lunch room, recreation room, reading room, gymnasium and other club like appurtenances. The institutional church is, it is needless to say, accom- plishng real good In localities where pop lslation is dense and where appeal is made especially to the populace. But after all, In the Protestant churches the old gospel religion, called orthodox when preached by minister whose own faith never fal- ters and whose mind is informed by sin cerity, is almost sure of grateful hearers In years past the sermon was, much longer than it is today If the preacher reached his lastly inside of an houl he was doing well. Even 15 or 20 years ago the minister required room in which to turn, and usually preached 40 or ( l pinutes. But today the 2O-minute sermon

Speaker Almon'S Plain Talk

The committees In both houses have been appointed, and Governor-elect O'Neal will be inaugurated on Monday, and then the state will be in the hands of a new administration inspired by new policies and hopeful of new results.
 In this connection 1t is well to recall the lecture that the House of Representa- lives unexpectedly got on Friday from Speaker Almon. It was a remarkable lec- ture and it shows that the speaker pro- poses to hold the House up to its work. He told the members to attend the Aes- sions promptly in order that the business of the state may be transacted without unnecessary delay. He warned them never to appear in the capitol under the influence of liquor, and he finally remind ed them that they were elected to work. The speaker repeated his lecture before the chairnen of the committees that he had just appointed.
 No matter how much the lecture of the speaker may have been or may hereafter be criticized, 1t was no doubt needed. It at any rate shows that Speaker Almon desires to see the heavy work of four years to come prepared for in the less than 50 legislative days left of the present session The utmost application will scarcely suffice to give the state the leg islation it is calling for. Tn other words, unless the legislature works steadily and efficiently the state will be put to the expense of an extra session. Speaker AL mon hopes to avoid this. There was no extra session fin Governor Jelks' term, and there need not be one in the coming gubernatorial term if the legislature will, to use Speaker Almons word, work.

Topoeraphic Maps of the Fayette Field

The possibility of adding natural gas and even oil to the known natural re- sources of the state should not be over looked by the present legislature. Such an addition to the coal and iron ore would maka Alabama one of the richest states fin the union. It would create here a sec ond Pennsylvania And there is possi- biiity that both gas and oil are stored un- der the underlying carboniferous rocks of this state.
 State Geoioglst Eugene A. Smith calls the attention of the legislature to the value of the topographic and structural maps of the Fayette field which the geo. logical survey is ready to assist fin mak- ing If the state will bear part of the expense An appropriation of s2o0OO year on the part of the state would quickly bring out maps of the entire Fayette held tnat would pc very uselul dHu eHat might lead to Investments and borings that would make the state rich Dr. Smith directs attention to the magnitude of the interests that would be served by the proposed maps.
 It is plain that pr. Smith is confident natural gas in commercial quantities and oil can be found in the formations of this state, and he hopes the legislature will accept the plan of cooperative mapping until all districts of the state that give promise of hidden natural resources have been surveyed and the results presented in modern topographic maps.

It is to cost $5o,OOo. and has been designed by Sir Moses Ezekiel, native of Virginia, but for many years one Of the prominent sculptors of Rome.

THE REFINING AGE OF THE STAG


 THE REFINING AGE OF THE STAGE From the New York World. At the theatrical managers dinner an optimistic dramatist expressed his be- lief that many theatres in New York are now going through transitional and refining era," which is elevating them to old Daly, Wallack and Palmer stand ards. The statement was in reply to an other speakers criticism of the man agerial policy which makes motherhood the basis for farce comedy and serves up for matinee girls.
 If evidence of the refining process in question is desired 1t will at least not be sought at the theatre which Is this week presenting salacious and repugnant scenes from the underworld in drama of which professional critic says: "It seems almost a test of the managerial in- uuiry, How low down can we play the gamer" Whether or not 1t has sounded a deeper depth of stage realism" 1t apparently bears the palm for the present season for vulgarity unrelieved by dra- matic merit.
 There are wicked partners in all trades and 1t is invidious to charge the New York managers collectively with one obnoxious play. But 1t is regrettable that the cloven foot should be seen so soon after a profession of ideals. The refining process Is still far from complete, and a good deal of dross will have to go into the melting pot before the New York stage is up to the Augustin Daly mark a gain.

LOADED LEATHER

It is charged that some of the leather used in tho manufacture of shoes is ..fraudulently loaded" with glucose in order to make the material heavier. If so. 1t Is as great a piece of folly as 1t is an example of rascality. The first class American shoe is the most servic- able and the most shapely made, and our manufacturers have established a large and growing trade abroad, espe- cially on the continent of Europe; but if the material of which the shoes are made shall turn out inferior, as this loaded leather is. the foreign trade will be forfeited and harder to restore than 1t was to establish.
 It is just such practices that have given business America bad name abroad. For decade after decade to stamp a manufactured article Amer lean made" was sufficient to condemn 1t as flimsy or fraudulent in the foreign market. The merchants of western Europe, especially the English and the German, never fall to stamp correctly an article exposed to sale at home or exported abroad. Thus. they have es- tablished a reputation for honesty and fair dealing.
 Until the pure food law was enacted in our country. nearly everything eaten and drank in the urban househ old was adu1terated, but sold under the genuine brand. It was notorious. and It was a smirch on the -pational character. Hon esty in trade Is to the merchant and nanufacturer what courage in battle is to the soldier. .....H

IN HOTEL LOBBIES .
MT. Danra;x in Rirm,prbem

William J. Dangaix, prominent citizen of Birmingham, who has been sojourning in Europe since the summer of 1908, is registered at the Morris. He landed from Paris about the middle of December and spent the Christmas holiday in New York with his brother-in-law and sister, Dr. William H. Allen and wife.
 Birmingham has improved very much since I left here two years and a half ago. said MT. Dangaix q knew Of its progress from reading and hearing my friends talk about 1t, but having just ar rived here I have not had the oppor- unity of looking over the situation per sonally. I expect to remain for several weeks. and, of course, will enjoy sight seeing in my old home and in making mental notes of this districts phenom- enal strides.
 T have long had great faith in Birmng- hams future, and since the census popu- lation was announced I am more of Birmingham prophet than ever. When bought the property at the northeast corner of Fourth avenue and Nineteenth street-150 feet on the avenue and 40 feet back to the alley-my friends thought had paid too much for it; they said l must be going crazy. Seventy-fve thou sand dollars was the consideration, and l did not think 1t exorbitant, or else l would not have paid it. I have recently refused two offers for this property, each s2o0, 900. have no idea of selling. While I am here I will make some improve mentSs-on my Fourth avenue real estate. They may be temporary, or they may be quite substantial. Of course. with Bir- rningham's growth this Nineteenth street corner of mine will enhance steadily in value and will be worth great big money in five or six years from now. In the meantime it pays me very good reve- nue--S per cent net on my investment.
 MT. Dangaix said he spent most of his time abroad in Paris, and while he liked Parisian life he got homesick for Bir- mingham and was glad to be back. He Is still director in the American Trust auo Savaings bank, and has other interests here besides his Fourth avenue holding.

Popular Election of Senators

The public service has not felt an i'm pulse equal to that which the Senate will impart if 1t forestalls public sentiment by passing a joint resolution for an amend ment of the constitution permitting the states to provide for the direct election of United States senators.
 The indications are that the Senate will pass the resolution and the House surely will and then the great reform will be fairly before the states for ratification. It has been an issue about ten years, but stitution 1t will be a great reform quickly brought about by public sentiment
 More than ten years ago public senti- ment turned against conventions, bosses and machines, and then it dawned on the people that direct action by the people fin all possible public matters is the true remedy for the ills that affect the body politics in this country. This sentiment has gone on gaining strength year by year, and if this winter the Senate meets public sentiment in this matter it will in- deed be great victory Even if the pres ent Congress does not do this the next Congress will, for 1t is one of those revo- lutions that never go backward.
 Senator Borah of the Senate judiciary committee has charge of the joint reso- lution in the Senate, and he has given notice that he will continue to bring it up until it is adopted or rejected by the Senate. It promises to become most 1nportant and far-reachng piece of legis- lation in a Congress that has passed many remarkable measures
