OTIS of people are beginning to won-
 der whether or not the commission
 form of government for a city is really what it has been cracked up to be!
 or course the people like to read scin- tillating newspaper cards from pronli- hard and recklessly at one another; but whether such is to the benefit of the com- munity is matter of serious doubt.
 The commissioners really owe it to the city to get together and do business. There arc lots and lots of things neces- sary to be done in Birmingham. We all knew that the residence sections of this city are the poorest lighted of any other city of it's size in the south or anywhere else. We need fully five times as many street lights as we have in Birmingham now.
 I do not need to refer to the business sections, because the lighting of those sections is primarily paid for by the in dividual merchants and property owners.
 The residence sections need lots more lights, and they want the commissioners ta provide for them on a proper basis Having no policemen in the residence sections, people are entitled to the pro- lection of more and better lights.
 And right in this connection, the com missioners might at least get back to the question of grade crossings and do some thing. Certainly the First avenue via

 Let the commission exercise it's powers and do something on this line immedi- ately.
 am glad that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company has taken the initiative in discontinuing the leasing of state and county convicts to operate it's coal mines. hope other companies will do likewise and that Alabama will soon adopt the plan of Georgia and North Carolina and work it's convicts exclusive ly upon the building and maintenance of better roads.
 This plan has been eminently success full in the states which have tried it, and there is no reason why Alabama should continue to lease it's convicts to individuals and corporations for individ- uat profit.
 I hope that this will be made an is- sue in every county in the state in the election of representatives to the next state legislature.

Two Familiar word. Used Technicall

Pope Plus X in his allocution delivered the other day in connection with the cere- mony of investing cardinals, used two words, somewhat familiar of late not only to ecclesiastits, but to those laymen who, by reading, keep up with the religious or intellectual world" said Knight of Co.,
 umbus. 'I refer to the words modern
 ism and 'naturalism.'
 NO matter how far back the word modernism in its technical sense may have been employed, 1t has been freely used only during the past few years. This word, like the technical word indulgence, may be misunderstood by those who are not students of theological or ecclesiasti- cal termnology, or who are not members of the Catholic church. It would have been better, perhaps. if the word 'remis- sion had been used instead of 'indul- gence,' for in Roman Catholic theology indulgence does not mean liberty or li- cense, as in ordinary English, but re- mission of the temporal punishment due a penitent after the confessor has ab solved him of mortal sin.

about the ''big dolngs'' at the

the rains which began last Satur-

hours or more-but few white Wis

Tuesday. This was not a very
great disappointment, however,
for our country people, as the
program for those two days con-
sisted mainly of the drawing of
rations by the Indians; and an
item of interest in that connection
is that 80 beeves. or about 40, 600
pounds, are to be killed for the
ten days entertainment of the In
dians and their friends (including
rations).
Sunday and Monday were wet
and muddy, and Tuesday the wind

and also prevent the ferryboat
from doing any business. Tues
days wind and sun, however. had

day was superb, ideal day.
