MODERN "HELoTs"

In sounding again q note Of warm
ing against the reckless dissipation
Of the coal-supplies Of the British
Isles. Sir William Ramsay makes an
interesting comparison to show thai,
thanks to 10 coal, the people Of Eng
land are, family for family, four
times better of than those Of Athens
in lis palmy days. Each Athcnlan
family had, on the average, FIVE he-
lots. or slaves. to do IT'S bidding.
Now the "man-power" Of the coal
annually consumed in Great Britain
amounts 10 lf5.OO0,000, and Ovid
ing this BY 100000, the number Of
families inhabiting the country, we
see that each Of those families has
working for il the equivalent Of
nearly 90 helots.--Youth'g Com

schools are too much neglected

The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-10-27
l A EMATS'

' s55sSz people has often been heaped upon the shoulders of those men who, under other conditions, served the city of Birmingham as aldermen.
 It is a matter of dispute as to whether or not some portion of the general rebuke was just. There is no question but that for many things done and left undone the al delmen were mathematical without sui ficient cause.
 However this may be, it is indisputably established that between the citizens of Bir- mingham and those "new tangled instru- ments, ' pregnant with danger to life and limb, which enterprising traffickers oft de sired to introduce, the aldermen staunchly stood. To them therefore, can be ascribed the fact that automobile accidents in Bir- mingham were postponed for at least couple of years, and it is barely possible that had these old time statesmen been able to extend their jurisdiction so as to control the acts of individuals, no automobile today would smoothly roll with the poetry of mo ton over the paved streets and avenues of the Magic City.
 To him who stands on a down town cor ner and notes the cars of all designs and types, how they move with terrific speed between each other, and around and about the street cars adding by the screech of their horns to the horrid din of big busi- ness, and causing pedestrians to scamper with frighted souls for the safety of their lives, it seems almost impossible of belief that it was yesterday little more than 10 years ago that the first machine made its appearance in Birmingham. And it was less than F years ago that the aldermen of the city denied an enterprising citizen the right to operate on the streets of Birmingham a gasoline engine, the speed of which could not have exceeded four miles per hour!
 It is to the credit of the aldermen that one may record that fact today.
 For although in the light of modern day custom the action of the board was ridicu- lous, it is true nevertheless that the old fa- thers deserve need of praise in that the aforesaid petition was refused on the ground of their belief that the gasoline wagon, moving through the thoroughfares of Birmingham, would not only interfere with street car traffic, but would endanger the lives of all the citizens
 'Protect the People, was the slogan of the board.
 So when the chairman called for the . vote on the petition of the enterprising in- dividual who, with gasoline buggy de- sired to endanger the lives of peoples while lifting drummers from the station to the hotel the chorus of "Nos, y expressed with all the indignation that an honest body of patriotic men could feel, disjointed a rafter in the armory and dislodged three panels of the plate glass front.
 And if is recorded in that history which survives as result of personal gossip ire apently repeated. that the enterprising pc
