LETTERS TO EDITOR
Easy to Get More Officers

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 l note in the papers considerable talk about wave of crime, alleged lack of police protection, etc.; also that the city commissioners say that no more police will be employed for the present as there Is no money with which to pay them.
 Notwithstanding all this, l think we should not be without hope. Outside the police force, which is admittedly effective, so far as 1t goes, we have ample means. In my opinion, to cope with the situation, if the authorities will act. We have sheriff with power to appoint an unlimited number of deputies. and the constables of pre- cincts 21 and 37 have the same power and authority. These officers operate under the fee system, and receive re- muneration for arrests. Is their duty any less than that of the police force to protect the people of the city from law violators? The state laws are ann pie, and if common report be true. the emoluments of the sheriff's office would justify him in rendering this service to the people, even if he received no additional fees.
 If a sufficient number of deputies were moving about in the residential districts of the city at night, and there is as much lawlessness going on as there is said to be, their empty cof- fers CD would soon be filled to over- flowing and lawlessness quelled.
 | would suggest that the officers of the law cease their chase after unfor- tunate minor offenders, if such be the case, and go in stronger after big game. such as highwaymen. thieves, murder CTS and violators of the speed law. This latter class has now become as serious 4 menace to the people of this city, In fact greater menace than some of tho other classes named. Like the other of lenses. speed violations can be checked if the authorities will act It seems to me that with them 1t is only ques- ton of the performance of duty. Re- spectfuly, R. l.. WILLIAMS.

TEN YEARS OF ALABAMA
No. 33-Administration of Governor Smith
1865-1874

Clanton, Forsyth,, Parsons and Lang don had addressed the state convention In the day session in support of N. H. R. Dawson's majority report, calling for the representation of the sub-military district Alabama" in the approaching national democratic convention, to meet July 4 in the city of New York. At the night session Judge Rice rose to defend Powell of Macon's minority report, advising that constituency like a military district disqualified for voting on the nominees should not appear in a nominating con vention.
 Rice read first a brief of his argument. Too deep was his conviction of the weight of the occasion. Dropping on the table the paper, he went into long and bril- liant and diseursive speech. He was still speaking at a late hour when he yielded to a motion to adjourn until the next forenoon. He resumed where he had left off when the convention assembled next day MT. Rice said Alabama had no wedding garment for the remarriage to the national party now proposed, In lieu of a soemnly appointed delegation, to sit as self confessed. voiceless outcasts on the benches allowed to them, he would elect a few gentlemen who wonld carry to the New York convention the paper he had read yesterday to the body before him. That paper would inform the na- tional democracy of conditions preVaiiins in Alabama and would assist the ha- tional democratic convention in the seiec- ton of proper candidates to deal With the revolution, forced upon ten states lie Insisted that negro ruled province haa nc legitimate place in the New I fo'k eol.- vention. The need in the United States, he said. was not so much united minorl- tv party but divided majority party. The speaker asked with great emphasis, raising his tall form to the highest and assuming his most commanding attitude;
