THINK Then VOTE

While some effort is being made
in the southern part of the state to
prove that the Moffat road is Of ben
eft only to Denver, good sense shows
that it's completion and successful
operation will mean benefit for the
whole state. Therefore the proposal
to have the state finance the James
Peak tunnel through which that road
will go West, should be considered
solely on the basis of it's worth to us
all. Since adequate protection is pro-
vided for the state money invested,
and certain return will come from
the shortening of the time and dis
tance West, vote for the amendment.

The people of Colorado are called
upon this year to decide whether the
state constitution shall be SO amend
ed that the people shall be the court
of final decision as to the constitu-
tionality of any law. This proposal
is urged as the remedy for corrupt
judges and their decisions. 1t seems
to us that the remedy is too revolu-
tionary. 1t is cutting off a limb to
cure an injury to a toe. 1t opens up
the way for the majority to oppress
the minority, with no redress, with
no need to consider whether it is
fair or not. Instead of giving dignity
to the law, as the highest expression
of intelligence in the solution of the
problems of government, it substi-
tutes the overnight judgment of the
masses who make no pretensions to
learning, or TO understanding the
consequences of their decisions. Law
treads a narrow path at best in es-
Gaping contradictions. Popular deci-
sioDs. if they reflect as little thought
as do elections now, will substitute
heads I win. tails you lose" for
equity. AS citizens least protected
by fair public sentiment, Negroes
cannot afford to jeopardize their po-
sition by leaving the decision on CON
stitutional rights to popular major'-
ties. Vote no" on this amendment

 Own Electricity

The Louisville and Nashville railroad has signified a willingness to cooperate, through the local superintendent, T. E.. Brooks, of this city, in the movement to install the Great White Way along Twen- tieth street from the Louisville and Nash vile station to Capitol park.
 A communication from Mir. Brooks re- ceived yesterday by Chairman Louis Gel ders, notified the executive committee of the Twentieth street White Way that the company will erect the posts on it's front age. using it's own power. made at the new electric plant in the Louisville and Nashville shops at Boyles, to light them.
 The railroad has agreed to purchase the identical posts used for the remainder of the White Way. While the exact ex- tension of the Louisville and Nashville contract has not been ascertained it IS understood that this will include the Mor- ris avenue ssie and the section of Twen- tieth street in front of the passenger station and freight house, probably fol- lowing Twentieth street across the rail road tracks at this point.
 The entire frontage of the Twentieth street White Way is expected to be com
 pletely signed up within sthe next few days, as the majority of the citizens in- terested in this street have pledged their
 support of what promises to be one of , the most attractively illuminated business streets of Alabama.

 BOYS IN SHACKELS
Monks Has Unpleasant Ex-

FINDS BOY OF 16 YEARS
Thinks It an Outrage That White Boy Should Be on the Streets After Being Fined
 Five Dollars

F. l. Monks, well known lawyer
 of Birmingham, and secretary of the Birmingham Bar association, made for nal complaint in writing to the com
 missoners yesterday of the working on the streets with shackles on their legs of very young boys, convicted of trivial offenses. The report was read and referred to Commissioner Lane.
 MT. Monks last night made the fol- lowing statement to an Age-Herald re- porter:
 This morning about S:30 o'clock my attention was drawn to small crowd of people standing at the corner of Third alley and Twenty first street. When I came up I saw five or six young white men with shackles on their legs and brooms in their hands. One of them being quite young look ing, caused me to inquire what had he done to get himself into that plight. He said he had been arrested for be- ing drunk and was fined $5. I asked him his name and age He told me he was 16 years of age. will you swear that?' I asked him, and he said he would. Several white men stopped and all were loud in their condemna- ton of such punishment for trivial 
 T went down to the city hall but neither of the commissioners had come to his office, so 1 wrote note for the commissioners, telling them that young white men were being worked on the streets and wearing shackles. As l finished writing the note MT. Gaf- ford, street commissioner, came into the office and I told him about it. He said he knew all about it and that he meant to keep them there. Some more words followed after which MT. Gaf- ford told me l was full of wind and that he knew all about me and why I was making all this fuss l told MT. Gafford 1 would take the matter be- fore the commissioners and he sad: You can do so and see what you'll get for it.
 Upon leaving the office l said that if this sort of thing was to be per mitted in Birmingham that l would burn the town up (speaklng figura- lively, of course, and meaning as the had burned it), and that the public would be called upon to judge the matter"
