The do- nestle policy of the state was yet to be molded, and such precedents estab- hshed as would thereafter affect the des- tiny of Alabama. At this time Governor Pickens was just fl years old.

Within the brief period Of four years he had constructed into com ractness a state from the crude and in coherent clements within reach. The quail ities which he demonstrated were firm ness, deliberation. sedulous care. wisdom and administrative force, to all of which was added a zest of labor. Never nasty. but always at work, promptly recorg- nizlng any lack of deficiency in the de- veloping structure, and with equal read ness supplying it with q sagacious eye to permanency, the interest of Governor Pickens was undiminished to the close of his term of office.

 \ \ heard this said recently of Che whom the world calls failure. And l, curious to learn somewhat of a coward-so few there are in this world learned that he had shirked "bettering'' himself; learned that at various times this coward had refused larger salary rather than leave work he cared for. And I learned that therein lay the mans cowardice: that he was too busily en- gagged in living to convert himself into a mere money-getter.
 The news was almost too good to be- lieve. Yet face to face I talked with this man, and he corroborated the story of his cowardice. I wondered before I met him if he was a high -browed stu dent of Karl Marx or some sociologist of the advanced sort. Or I suspected he was some literary chap looking for "copy' in free-lance fashion. I wonder ed if Thomas Carlyle's address before the students of Edinburgh university was among his textbooks. For at the end

WOULD BLOCK CHANGE.
County Clerks Do Not Favor Amend
ment to Marriage Laws.

Members of the legislature are being
urged by the county clerks to vote
against the proposed amendment to
the marriage license laws. says a
Lansing dispatch. The amendment
would make II necessary for every
couple before. obtaining a license to
bring q certificate from a practicing
physician showing that they did not
have tuberculosis.
The claim is made that the amend
ment would mean a graft for unscrup-
ulous physicians who would make II
a business to give certificates and that
il would drive large number of peo-
pile into other states to obtain mar
riage licenses.
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Gansser, of Barry county
and has been reported out by the judi
iciary committee i'm the house.
The amendment is a part OF the
crusade against tuberculosis now be-
ing waged in this state. 1t is estimat-
ed that 25 per cent of the states pop
ulation lives in Detroit and that al
least so per cent lives near enough &c
the borders of the state to go into an
other state and wed.

The first preparations for COM

Pattengill Is former state superin-

educator and publisher of educational
books and periodicals. He is well
known I'm the COPPER country through
his lectures and institute work in the
district at various times. The board
left the matter OF the commencement
date open, but II probably will be June
10 or i6.
Another matter that was attended TO
at yesterdays meeting was the recap

dress for all the functions of gradual

country have not adopted this plan
and the EToughton girls will be alone
in their effort to do away with the I'M
necessary fuss of graduation time,
caused by the idea that there should
be different dress for each of the
various functions. The expense that
is eliminated through this procedure
will mean much to those who have to
struggle for an education.
The Oratorieal Contest.
Seven high school students have en-
tered the oratorical contest for the Sc
lection of the one who is TO represent
