Judge Greene's Charge

Judge Samuel E. Greene of the criminal court of Jefferson county is to be cordially commended on his charge to the grand jury yesterday. He said public agitation was aroused over the lawlessness that has pre- vailed in this county, and he ex- pressed the hope that some solution for improvement might be found. In his opinion "a great forward move ment is coming" A change in the laws as to criminal procedure, he said, must be made by legislative enact ment.
 Judge Greene made comparison of the criminal laws in Alabama with the criminal laws in Virginia. The laws delays in Alabama account in large measure for the frequency of serious crimes. Too few men indicted for homicide are punished. In Vir- ginia murderers like McCue and Be- attic invariably suffer the death pen alty. Too many guilty men in Jeffer- son county escape punishment because of technicalities in the Alabama laws.
 Judge Greene called attention to the practice of carrying concealed weap- ons. Many homicides come but of this violation" he said, (which would not happen if the carrier of the pistol had not been ready to shoot"
 Judge Greene's long experience in presiding over criminal trials, his level headedness and his courage in the discharge of his duties make him not only model judge, but any sug- gestion or recommendation that he makes with regard to criminal pro- cedure naturally has great weight. It is hoped that the legislature will act upon Judge Greene's suggestions, and in the meantime public sentiment should become all the stronger in stimulating protest against the habit of pistol toting.

Better Police Facilities Needed

Birmingham needs larger police force in order to give anything like adequate protection to property, especially in the outlying sections. This city has a population of fully 10000, and police force number ing 200 to 250 would not be larger on a population basis than other large cities have. Today Birmingham IS police force numbers just about 100.
 Not only should this city have more policemen, but there should be sub police station in Avondale, Woodlawn, East Lake, North Birmingham and other outlying communities that go to make the municipality of Birming- ham.
 If there had been a sub-station in Avondale the Eureka Stove works would probably not have been burned Sunday night. The negro watchman had refused to allow gang of hoboes to enter the works, where they in- sisted on sleeping. These men ar gued with the watchman, and their attitude was enough to arouse the watchman's suspicion, to say the least. Had there been a police sta tion near by he could have telephoned for an officer and obtained his ser vices in two or three minutes. As it was, while the watchman was ma. : ing his rounds an incendiary set tn : plant on fire.
 Economy is good thing, but it must not be overdone. With better police protection property owners and citizens generally would certainly feel safer.

NApoLEON,s DOWNFALL

From Current Literature (January).
 What was the cause of Napoleons fall? Three recent writers seem 10 agree on one theory. According to August Fournier, the Viennese scholar, accord ing to Arthur Hassall, young English student, and according to Karl Haupt- mann, the German poet and playwright. Napoeon's downfall was caused by his inability to realize that there is such a thing as a national conscience. Napoleon believed that he could settle all problems of European politics by making deals with princes; he forgot the people, though himself a son of the people. He betrayed the revolution which had made him. He failed to understand the new spirit Of which he himself was the instrument
 There was, as Professor Fournier brings out in his biography now published in English for the first time certain nor al obliqueness in Napoleon which made him insensble to finer motives in indi- viduals as well as in nations He was, in the words of Professor Fournier, "the greatest of parvenus." Napoleon fell be- cause, to quote pr. William Berry's re- view of Fourniers work in the London Boolxman ''he understood only facts and forces, but could never grasp the inward meaning of religion. liberty, national spirit >* He was more like Caliban than Prospero, an earthly mind endowed with abnormal strength, serving higher purposes than he knew. The new biogra
 phies of Napoleon attempt to destroy the Napoleon myth which the great Corsican himself industriously built up, for Napo- leon seen in the light of recent historical investigation was the most monumental liar the world has known since Ananias. Yet the fact remains that Napoleon was unuuestionably the greatest individual man determining the fortunes of the rnndern 1vnrld

SOCIAL RETIREMENT
the Chattanooga Times.

rTOIl lne tndltetHoOSb ihicS'
 George Bailey of the Houston Post has presented a thought for the contempla- tion of any guilty person. engaged in the Men and Religion Forward Move ment, or, for that matter, in other en- terpiises, social, political or religious, that gives him responsibility. He says:
 ''Exorbitant rents going into the pocket of the just are responsible for half the Starvation in Houston. A woman who struggles at the washtub for 10 days a month to pay rent for the miserable shelter she gets requires something bet ter than to be advised to trust in the Lord "
 It is pretty strong language Bailey uses, but it hits 'bullseye." Following upon the heels of the organization of the mems movement, there ought to be a propaganda for a genuine social better ment league, to the end that some of the harsh and almost inhuman inequal- ties of city life may be at least partially remedied, and a lot of worthy people who are working on bare bones" be given a chance and square deal.
 Men of large hearts and ample means have been developed in many cities, and are now working to this end. The sha efs, shanties and huts of our southern cities are reflection upon our civilization, as tenn. We do not speak here in behalf of charity, but in behalf of those who work; they are entitled to fair treatment.

sAND-HoGs TRAPPED

New York Correspondence Cincinnati
 Times-Star.
 Five men were trapped in an air caisson, SO feet below the surface of Broadway. Just sand-hogs. They are paid $4 day and work in the mud, under air pressure. Only the toughest and toughest worlSmen take that job. The chances of death and disability are too near at hand for men'who are fitted for anything even a bit better. A light ed candle--taken into the caisson against orders by sand-hog both ignorant and careless-dropped into a pile of oakum. Under compressed air flames feed on what material is at hand as though on loose powder. In a mo- ment that narrow caisson was one seething hell of flames. The only way of escape was up a narrow iron ladder SO feet to the street. Two man-holes intervened. On each the cover was bolted down. At the first flash of flame "Smiddy"-no one seems to know his other name-fell half unconscious. Three men preceded him, not knowing his plight Charles Walsh the fifth man in the caisson, seized him. Walsh propped the blinded and scared hulk of flesh against the ladder. 'Clmb, Smiddy,'' said Walsh. And Walsh swore the great oaths of a sand-hog at his dying 'comrade.
 "Smiddy" climbed. Walsh took his hands in his and placed them on round after round. Walsh protected the man by his own body from the flames that roared up the narrow caisson. When the first man-hole was opened, it was as though the men were in the flame of d plumbers magnified blow-pipe. Walsh thrust "Smiddy" through the man hole, and there the weaker man tainted There were 25 feet yet to climb through fire. And Walsh climbed them, with "Smiddy" on his shoulder. ."Smiddy,' who only recovered consciousness to shriek and writhe and beg for death, and then fall into merciful oblivion Blackened, sightless, their lungs burned to cinders by the flames they had in- haled, the men reached the street level. ..Smiddy' is dying. Walsh will die. Two safid-iiogs and one hero.

ALL FOR UNDERWOOD
l the Montgomery Journal.

HIO1n lle
 Petitions are being circulated in Mont gomery for the purpose of organizing an Underwood club, and the Journal would like to see the name of every voter signed to it. We are all for Underwood, and as Alabama is his home we should give him unanimous support.
 Mr Underwood is one of the best known men in the country and his pop ularity is increasing. This is gratifying to his Alabama supporters, and they are being encouraged by the good reports received from other sections of the coun- try.
 Since MT. Underwood has become the majority leader of Congress he has shown the people his ability in such a way as to convince them he is made of the material to make a good President. lie has handled the complicated situation in Congress in courageous manner and has kept the pledge made to the people by the democratic party
 It has nearly been half century since the name of an Alabamian has been mentioned in connection with the pres idency, and the people of this state Are aroused to high pitch of enthusiasm for the distinguished congressman from the ninth district. Let all democrats sign the petition for the purpose of organizing al Underwood club

WHEN HALFBAcK CARVED
the Kansas Industrialist.

From the Kansas lndustr1alist.
 The value Of teaching practice along with theory was demonstrated very ex- ceIlently last winter at the Kansas Agri- cultural College.
 Girls in the domestic science school were serving dinners to one hundred senior men who were seeking to en- large their knowledge of table etiquette. The girls had been told that the amount of meat served fer dinner should furnish hash or croquettes for the next meal.
 That was the theory. But here's where practice came in and spoiled things. In- stead of cutting off four polite slices as a theoretical husband would have done, the practical host, who was a half back on dhe football team, carved the steak in quarters. The rest, also being practical. ate all that was quartered to them.
 The moral of this story is that in practice the wife should hold whis- pered consultation with her husband if he is to do the carving--before seating the guests. .s

 Those who desire to make their money do the utmost that money can do should send check to c. O.. Ox- nam, 104 Cotton avenue, and gifts of clothing and groceries are greatly needed. Not a penny of any donation will be wasted, and every effort will be made to stretch every donation to its utmost capacity.

WOMAN DICKENS LOVED

1t Is the same old story with which we have become so familiar, and which is both as old as the hills and as new as this mornings newspaper.
 April 20, 1858, Mrs. Dickens left his home. His eldest son went to live with the mother, but the rest of the children remained with their father, while his daughter Mary Dickens. nominally pre- sided over the house. In the back ground, however, Georgina Iogarth, who seemed all through her life to have cared for Dickens more than for her sister, remained as sort of guide and guard- ian for his children.
 The companion to whom he clung in his later years was neither a light minded creature nor an undeveloped, high tempered woman like the one he mar ried, nor a mere domestic, friendly crea- ture like Georgina Hogarth.
 Ought we to venture upon a quest which shall solve this mystery in the life Of Charles Dickens? In his last will and testament, drawn up and signed by him about a year before his death, the first paragraph reads as follows:
 q, Charles Dickens, of Gadshill Place, Higham, in the county of Kent. hereby revoke all my former wills and codicils and declare this to be my last will and testament. I give the sum of one thou sand pounds, free of legacy duty, to Miss Ellen Lawless Ternan, late of Houghton Place, Ampthill Square, in the county Of Middlesex
 In connection with this, read MT. John Bigelow's careless jottings made some 15 years before. Remember the Miss 'Teman,' about whose name he was not quite certain; the Hogarth sisters dis- like for her, and ,the mysterious figure in the background of the novelist's later life. Then consider the first bequest in his will, which leaves a substantial sum to one who was neither a relative nor subordinate, but-may we assume--more than an ordinary friend?

FROM NEW MEXICO.


 lied Mooring, who has a great many friends in Birmingham and went from here to the Pacific coast, to do news paper work, is at present recuperating from an attack of fever on a ranch in New Mexico. He writes from Onava that souvenir post cards and such gear are scarce in that part of the world so he sat down at his typewriter and wrote a four-pase newspaper in the form of q New Year greeting. Mr. Mooring calls his unique paper the Onava Annual. Nu- merous pleasantries brighten it's pages. suitable to the New Year and making fun of the unfortunate wights who are exiled in the holiday season. as MT. Stubbins would say. Fur, fur from home." We hope MT. Mooring will soon be restored to health and we are sure his other friends in Birmingham feel the same way.
