1 It is inhabited by good people who want their natural rights protected: and I do not propose to let up in this column until we get better police and fire protection in this expansive town. The residence section of Birmingham, and the house holder therein, had just as well be up In Blount county for all the police protection they get. As it stands today. the puny police department of Birmingham is as nothing to those outside of the actual bus mess section.
 Here we are today, by virtue of an un- fortunate fire, without telephone service except that which one local company gives. We can't get a policeman if our houses are being robbed and we have to find firealarm box if our homes happen to be in flames.

 Of course, I can sympathize with the commissioners of Birmingham in the vol ume of work they have to perform, but do think they would profit by studying the | commission form of government as It exists in Washington city and quickly complete at least thorough police or ganization which will not only guard and protect every section but daily report street improvements and repairs which are necessary in each part of the city.
 The commissioners can be much aided by the men and women of every portion of Birmingham mailing them letters as oft en as they find improvements or repairs necessary in each section.

 This scrap between George Harvey, the editor of Harpers Weekly, and Woodrow Wilson seems to have had a serious effect upon the Wilson boom for the presidential nomination. I don't know how far reach ing it will be, but it merely indicates that Mir. Wilson has so long lived in the at mosphere of collegiate organization that he is prone to have his way about every thing and to believe his judgment indomi- table. That is his chief danger and his chief weakness.
 Yet it is rot to be denied that Governor Wilson has an exceedingly large sentl- mental following among the democrats of this country, and that in the Baltimore national convention he will be a factor to be rechoned with. So will be Governor Harmon, and likewise Champ Clark.
 From practical point of view, however. Oscar Underwood is growing in stregnth, and in the admiration of the American people day by day. He has lost no ground since his name was first suggested as presidential possibility. Indeed he has gained like unto a well nurtured and sturdy plant. He is of the hardy variety growing, improving and strengthening as the days go by.
 He is working for the uplift of the country, and his friends are working for his uplift. It is steady and practical work, and each week adds materially to the probability that he will be the nomi- nee and the next President of these United States.

The man who accepts a public office becomes a natural target of criticism.
 But this tri-partite of city commits sioners. in the glory of office. would seem to repel the gospel of gossip. In stead of going ahead and attending to real business, the full three seem dis posed to devote real good time to sur veying the Surveys articles and dictat- prints denouncing muckrakers and talkingi in generalities.
 I don't believe in a muckraker. I do believe that every man, whether he be in public office or otherwise. should be big enough to take his med icine and listen to advice whether it be in the public print or by word of mouth.
 I don't care anything about the Survey articles one way or the other, but I do think that every man in public office should do his best to rectify every public wrong, or error, or misht.

 These writers for the Sur yey magazine haven't found any ras- cality or dirty doings in the admins tration or the upbuildmg of Birming- ham. As I understand it, they have merely told about both the good and the bad. Who of Us build up town or any business institution without making mistakes and without laying ourselves liable to criticism?
 Were we only applauded all the time we would soon be possessed of what in common parlance is known as the big head.
 The best business man in building up anything desires suggestions and the faults of his work pointed out to him.
 I know in building up a newspaper I would much prefer suggestions as to its faults. and how they could be rem edied and how it could be improved, than any other class of criticism.
 Of course, we all like compliments, but none of us are possessed of all the dominant and best faculties of know ing how to do the greatest work. The fault finder is often an asset.

Norris accounted for his low score

many of the dogs near home. warmth
and safety. The weather, too, makes
shooting a running dog a difficult
task. Last night he said that he
would not hunt today, but if the
whereabouts of a dog suspected of
the rabies vas reported to him he
would attempt to get it. Monday
the search for the unmuzzled dog
will be renewed in earnest.
Mr.. Morris said that some of his

not let their dogs run loose, and that
he intended to enforce the law with

RAMS QUITS NEW
SCOTT HOTEL
CHARLES MANN TO MANAGE
HOUSE FOR j. w. CRIDER.
Illness i'm Family Impelis Rams to
Expected From California Soon.

J. A. Rams who came to Dallas
from Payette, Idaho, in May and took
charge of the New Scott hotel, re-
linquished the management of that
institution Tuesday night, and since
that time Charley Mann who has held
the position of clerk, has been in
charge.
1t is said that the change has been
made on account of dissatisfaction on
the part of Rams. When he came
here it was reported that he had
purchased the hotel and would be-
come permanent resident. But
sickness in his family has caused
him to alter his plans it is said, and
he asked to be relieved from further
obligations on his lease or his OPP
ton to purchase. Accordingly a deal
was arranged by C. L. Crider, as
agent for j. w. Crider, owner of the
building, whereby the former took
over the business for his father and
the place will be operated by Mann.
Mr.. Crider is expected in the city in
about week, but it is not known
whether any further change will be
made in the hostelry.
Charley Mann, the present mana
ger, has had much experience in the
hotel business, being formerly con-
nected for a long time with the Gail
hotel and later as clerk at the New
Scott. He has many warm friends
the travelling public who will
be pleased to see him behind the
at the New Scott.
