Letters to the Editor
Urquhart Answers Moore

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 I read with considerable amusement in this mornings Age Herald the rath- CT frenzied and hysterical expressions of one of our city fathers anent the ap- preaching commission government for Birmingham. l confess my hair was in- olined to stand on end when I read such picturesque phrases as Such a Jaw as that is terrible "Will per- haps spell ruin for Birmingham. ]" "There should not be tolerated in any free country" Leave us in the condi- ton of merciless abandon" Russian like dogmatic commission bill," etc. It was a gloomy picture, painted in dark and foreboding words, which would cause very stout hearts to quail with dread and uncertainty could 1t not be easily proved that such a conception was only to be found in a fervid and overloaded imagination. I remembered also that the devoted alarmist has al- ways been a consistent enemy of com mission government and was largely instrumental in the defeat of the meas ure introduced by me in the August session of the legislature of 1909. Now. While tnfS raiser of the hue and cry and I think differently concerning the efficacy of commission government, we are good friends, and I would not will ingly wound his feelings. Yet he must permit me to say that when l read his statements l was laughingly reminded of letter l wrote when child for our old negro nanny, which she dic- tafed as follows: Dear John: I sits me down with pen in hand to write you a few lines to let you know Ise well and hopes you IS the same. The town is going to destruction. Hell's blazes is a spreadin' over the sky. Repent, sinner, afore it is too late.' And much more to the same effect. So my fears were quieted concerning the phantasmagoria of the commission bill presented by my friend.
 l would recommend that he read the bill before he again attempts to crit icise 1t. for with the bill before me as l write after having thoroughly searched it from beginning to end, cannot find the things he reads into it. To quote his interview he said: "The commission bill makes it a felony for one man to secure a vote for the other and absolutely disbars a commissioner if he tries to get a friend to help him." There is no such a thing in the bill. Beginning with line 23, section IS. there is blow aimed at the crea-

 HAS BEEN VANISHED

Norfolk Va, February 25.--'It is no less the duty of a state court thae of United States courts to refute a state
 law which conflicts with the consti-
 tution of the United States. State judges
 are sworn to support the constitution
 of the United States as well as the
 constitution of the state whose com
 mission they hold" declared Justice Lurton Of the supreme court of the
 United States in speaking here to- night at dinner rendered by the Pew ter Platter club of Norfolk in honor of the judiciary"
 Justice Lurton. referring to slavery
 as the "source of the power as well as the weakness of the south in time past, declared as a southefner that slavery has disappeared and with 1t
 has vanished every special reason for jealousy of the powers of the union and it's courts.
 With It has gone," said he, that sense that we as a section of the
 union are to limit our interest and affections by the borders of our states. Our horizon has broadened as We get away from the old isolation.
 Thank God for the opportunity for that spontaneous outburst of old time patriotism which in 1898 flsmed out from every hamlet in Dixie's land.' Other speakers at tontghts dinner were Attorney General Wickersham,
