A LABAMA'S s historian, Albert J. "A Pickett, was a native of North A Carolina, and removed to Ala bama about one year before it was made state. In his early years he mingled much with the Indians, learned their character and disposition, and became profoundly interested in their destiny.
 The first purpose in life of MT. Pickett was to fit himself for the bar, and he entered the office of an elder brother. William D. Pickett to fit himself for that profession, but on discovering that he had no aptitude for the law he gave it up and entered on planting, to which he devoted his life.

THE BELMONT 1RAGEOY

The victims of the fire in The
Belmont mine at Tono pah were
buried yesterday. The funeral
took place during the worst
blizzard of the winter, but the
people of Tonopah turned out in
large numbers and followed the
remains to the cemeteries.
Serious charges have been made
against the management OF Inc
mine and a thorough investigation
of the fire is d emanded by the
public. The Goldfeld News in
discussing the fire says:
1t has been charged that the men
who we're sent into the Belmont
mine on the morning of the
discovery of the fire went into the
mine under penalty of dismissal il
they did not go; that the men went
as employees under orders and not
as volunteers; that the property
was insufficiently equipped as to
ventilation facilities; that no
adequate fire-fghting appliance
was ready for use: that a system
of peonage existed in the mine
whereby certain under-bosses
exactei tribute from certain miners
as a reward for allowing these
miners to hold their positions.
thai this system of ribute had
caused the mine to be fired
purposcly and that the fire 1aS
not an accident.
Each ahl every a Of the above
charges is grave in itself. When
they are all combined, they suggest
a possibility that the disaster in
Il G Belmont is not only a tragedy
but a monstrous crime.

Coroner Miller left Tuscsrora
this morning for the scene of the
battle to hold an inquest on the
dead.
Although Shelf Terrell and
Shelf Harris and their men and
Sheriff Lamb and his men we're not

thanks of the people for their
efforts to rid the state of this
murderous bunch To Superin-
tendent Donelly and his men will go

those who braved the winter storms
and Suffered hardships to capture
these muruderers will not be
forgotten. There is glory enough
for all and all will be remembered.
A message from Tuscarora to
Deputy Sheriff Critchley this after
noon said that Hoyle who was
killed in the fight was not a
member of the state police His
home was at Eagleville, California.
He joined the posse that started on
the trail of Indians from the scene
of the murder. The message also
said that the posse chased tie
Indians in a running fight for a mile
The bodies will be taken to
Golconda, where the inquest will
be held The reabouts Of
Sheriff Terrell and posse were
known at Tuscarora.
The Silver State says that

several of his men reached Col

WHAT IS A JACKPOT?

jeff Davis Of Arkansas rose in
the United States senate the other
day and asked a brother senator,
who was Senator Gamble Of South
Dakota. what he meant by a Jack
pot. "as the latter had used the
term in debate.
Gamble, judging from his sur
name, ought to have replied, but
he didn't.
So JEFF didn't find out.
This incident suggests what
contributions to everyday speech
have been made by cards, and by
poker in particular.
Many people who know nothing
OF poker use its phrase.
For instance "the standatter" is
spoken Of in politics to describe the
man who wants things to remain
as they are.
The term bluff" needs no ex-
PLANTATION it is in such general use.
Church people are asked to chip
in to pay the parson and forget
that they are using a term of un-
holy association.
Then there is the man who
demands that everything be
"aboveboard' to signify that no
concealment is going on.
We all known that when we have
plenty Of money we feel flush"
another poker term signifying that
the cards are ell of one color.
The term Of Full house" is still
another phrase that is jocularly
used in common speech to signify
that there is ne more room.
Others more familiar with poker
terms than a minister or an editor
might multiply the illustrations.
Some people understand the
lingo and don't know the game.
Others know the lingo and think
they know the game, but don't. 1t
is a great game-so Trey say

WHERE ARE THE ECONOMISTS

By Constitutional limitation the
Legislature will end its session
March l6 just twenty-four days
more and the real work of the
session has scarcely started. Why
has so much time heen consumed to
no purpose? 1t costs the much
loved before eletion ard little
regarded after election taxpayer
between $500 and $1,000 a day
for each day this highly entertain
ing vaudeville aggregation makes
an appearance.
An extra session will cost the
state in the neighborhood of $40.-
900. Is it the purpose of the law
makers to waste the time of the
regular session in order that an
extra session may be made
necessary to complete tie work
which, should have been all but
completed before this? 1t would
seem so; yet'it is almost impossible
of belief that a man elected to the
important position of legislator
would hold the $40 per diem so
close to his eyes that the public
good cannot be seen. 1t is now
quite apparent that we arc to be
afflicted with an extra session,
and it is equally apparent upon
whom the responsibility for this
useless expense rest. The assembly
has been the stumbling block in the
way of expeditions transs ction of
business.
The files of the senate arc almost
always clear by 2 o'clock each day,
and that body is compelled TO
adjourn until the assembly can
manage to give out a bill or two.
The assembly is controlled by
the Republicans, and it is the
duty of the administration to goad
that body into action. While there
is not the slightest doubt that many
Democrats in the assembly are
just as anxious for an extra session
as their Republican brethren,
these men do mot count. They
could not control matters if
they would, and would not. perhaps
if they could. The Republican
majority can control the proceed
ings, and it is up to them to make
good or stand convicted Of in
competency, or, worse yet,
in~sincerity.

A MISTAKEN REMEDY

Every row and then there is
recored in the public press a more
or less facetious story of some
ambitious community which in an
effort to increase its homes and
population contemplatcs imposing
a tax on unmarried males and
females-the idea being apparently
that rather than pay a few dollars
annually into the municipal treasury
the delinquent offenders will
hastily seek immunity in
matrimony.
While this oft threatened and
never adopted remedy is hardly
deserving of serious attention its
intermittent rise IS really inspired
by a point of view that has a
serious basis .
Founded on the truth that the
family is the community unit, and
that the larger the number of
families in a community the more.
stable is the community life, the
natural impulse of philosophical
citizens is to encourage and
promote as far as possible the
dome.ticity of its population.
But in their zeal, merely super
fetal solutions of sociological
problems are suggested while the
basic principles are overlooked.
1t is forgotten that the highest
good of the community is founded
upon successful family life, and
that successful family life. in turn,
depends wholly upon happy
marriages. Happy marriages can
never be the result of haste,
coercion, mercenary or trivial
motives.
If instead of encouraging mar
riages for such trivial reasons as
escaping a tax. procuring a homo,
avoiding being called an "old
maitland all such paltry1lncentives,
the makers of ordinances would
apply themselves to making mar
riage a less easy resource there
would be fewer matrimonial
mistakes, a less number of
wrangling uncongenial husbands
and wives, fewer unhappy homes
and fewer reared in an atmosphere
OF hatred and strife. If marriage
were made more difficult there
would be fewer impulsive
mistakes, and the necessity for
more rigid divorce laws. of which
we hear much prating, would be
obviated. The old custom of
publishing the bans, together with
more strict observance OF laws of
health n the issuance of marriage
licenses. would go a long way
toward establishing better
domestic conditions, angmenting
respect for the marriage ceremony
and inspiring a higher conception
of the meaning and responsibility
of the marriage relation When
that is accomplished the standard
of family life will be raised with
the result that we have better
citizens and better community con-
ditions. 1t is not more hasty and
thughtless marriages that we need
but infinitely fewer of them

TEACHING YOUTHS
TO FLY AND FALL

One can learn to do plain flying
and get a handsome diploma
engraving with a picture of a
biplane rampant on a field of ozone
all FOR $500 and six months Of
study. That is if you don't happen
to stumble on a cloud on the way
to deliver your commencement
address for literal flights rather
than literary fights are what count
in the aviation school.
Now understand we don't
guarantee to teach these fancy
flights and spiral glides and all
that sort of frills" Prof. J. G.
IngersOll the faculty of the Kansas
City aviation school explained
yesterday But we do teach a
man how to do all the flying that
he'll need in everyday life and
what's more we teach him how to
fall"
Must a man pass examinations
in falling to get a diplomat" a
prospective pupil inquired. Nov
let me tell you something about
that falling. It's TIE easiest thing
in the world. Just wait until
you're within a few yards of the
ground then set your planes for
elevation. That makes you light
easy. I'll explain all that TO you
pupils"
But isn't it a bit hard to
remc5er just when to set the planes
when you're falling out of the
clouds?"
well you've got to learn it. If
you can't there's no hope of being
an aviator.
Now we expect to s;art a class
of ten in a few weeks. First we'll
put them through a thorough
course about aeroplane engines
teaching them to know just what
the matter is when they staff to
fall and all that sort of thing. phen
we'll take them out to Overland
Park and put them to work on the
glider" The glider is an
aeroplane about ten or twelve
feet wide which has no engine.
The student will be required TO
carry this and run against the
wind. The force of the breeze on
the planes will tend TO lift him off
the ground. When that force gets
so strong that he can't run any
farther he gives a jump and scars
into the air like a srasshopper.
Nov that jump will take him
up about ten feet and he'll get
used to how il feels to be sailing
in the air and he'll learn how TO
balance and light and so on. As
soon as the glider lesson is learned
we'll start them in a real biplane
with such a small propeller that
they can't get more than twenty
or thirty feet from the ground.
