Blasting Too ExpensIve.-Owners OF
property between Fifteenth and Six
teenth streets on Fifth avenue, who
have In mind the erection Of business
blocks this season, have come to the
conclusion that it will be too ex-
pensive to go ahead with the i'm
provements at this time. Frost has
penetrated the ground to depth of
three feet or more, making excava-
ton with pick and shovel an impos-
sibility. The question of using ex-
plosives to remove the frozen earth
was discussed with city officials. No
objection was raised by the city, but
the plan was abandoned by those who
own the realty when they figured UP
the cost. They have decided to let
Mother Nature assist in the work.

In a recent editorial comment on their re- port, 1t Is stated that this court of ap- peals considers that it's principal func- ton is to administer substantial justice, and does not, therefore, lay stress on technicalities either for or against the defendant. It WAS said in that report that the judicial force in England is very small compared with ours.
 Some Recommendations
 'I suggest for your consideration the following, among other, recommendations contained in that report. These recom- mendatfons were made by two of the most distinguished lawyers in the country and were the results of careful investigation, and after months spent in attending the sessions of the criminal courts of Great 'Britian:
 T. All objections to the indictment should be made before evidence is heard, and errors in matters of form amended at once.
 "2. All prisoners upon trial upon in- dictment, who are unable to employ counsel, should be furnished with legal assistance throughout the trial, including the arraignment
 "3. The prosecuting attorney, instead of being partisan should investigate the case from a non-partisan standpoint. | and should make an impartial presenta- | ton of the evidence to the jury. "A. The fee system, wherever 1t ex- I ists, for the compensation of prosecuting attorneys. should be abolished. "5. The trial judge should not be a | mere presiding officer, but should take an active and controlling part in the trial. | He should restrict counsel to the arguing of releyent questions. He should prompt | ly overrule and discourage technical ob- | jections. He should not permit counsel | to intimidate or improperly confuse a witness He should sum up the evidence | to the jury and direct it as to the law | applicable thereto.

At a recent meeting of the bar associa- ton of a neighboring state the question was discussed Are the Bench and me Bar on the Defensive?
 From the report of that meeting It rilsu. be Inferred that such was the case. 'he of the distinguished speakers, Judge Kay anaugh, made the assertion that the present day court procedure, with it's strict adherance to form, is barbaric.' 1ie further stated that lawyers have too much reverence for laws that were need- ed when passed but have now become an- tiouated and useless and in concluding his address made the prophetic statement ..that the present day court decisions will be the jokes of 50 years from today"

were so many practical suggestions pre- sented in the able and clear manner for which the governor is noted, that seem so applicable to present conditions so far as court and court procedure are con- cerned, that this section of his message is reproduced in part.
 The prevalence of homicides in Alabama, the deadly revolver. the laws delay, the technical rulings of the appellate courts. the ample opportunities for the criminal to escape punishment through court prac- tice are all presented with masterly skill. But not only does the governor point out the defects, but suggests a remedy. The governor desires to put the state on an equal footing with the accused in the trial of criminal cases; he would abolish re- versais by the appellate court except for error prejudical othe merits of the case. He would restore to trial judges their common law powers and invest them with more latitude in the trial of criminal cases. He suggests that error in indict- ments should be amended at once and that the prosecuting officers in large cities should be allowed to employ trained de- tectives to assist in the enforcement of the law, and that special counsel be em- ployed by the state whenever 1t be deemed necessary for the conviction of those guilty of shedding human blood.

The recent report of the attorney general of the state shows that in the year 1907- 1908 therewere 657 deaths from homcides in Alabama This only includes cases that were tried in court. and when we include those homicides where the guilty parties have fled or have not been brought to trial, the number must be larger.

SPEECH OF FIRST WOMAN
IN AMERICAN POLITICS
RooSEVELT's NOMINATION. WAS
SECONDED BY MISS JANE
A o D A MS.

Chicago, Aug. Miss Jane Ad-
dams, in stconding the nomination of
Theodore Roosevelt for president,
said: Il rise to second the nominal
tion, stirred by the splendid platform
adopted by this convention.
Measures of Industrial ameliora
ton, demands for social justice, long
discussed by small groups in charity
conferences and economic associa-
tions, have here been considered in
a great national convention and are
at last thrust into the arena Of poll
tiCal action.
"A great party has pledged itself
to the protection of children, to the
care of the aged, to the relief of
oVerworked girls, to the safeguarding
of burdened men. Committed to these
humane undertakings, it is inevitable
that such a party should appeal to
women, should seek to draw upon the
great reservoir of their moral ener-
gy.
1--WE ratify this platform not only
betusea it represents our earnest
convictions and formulates our high
hopes, but because it pulls upon our
faculties and calls us to definite ac-
tier The new party has become the
American exponent of a world wide
movement towards juster social con-
ditions, movement which the Uni
ted States, tagging behind other ma
ticns, has been unaccountably slow to
emhody in political action.
''i second the nomination Of <'heo-
dore Roosevelt because he is one of
the few men in our public life who
has been responsive to the social ap-
peal, and who has caught the sig
nifcance 4of the modern movement
Because of that, because the program
will require a leader of invincible
courage, Of open mind, of domestic
sympathies, one endowed with power
to interpret the common man and to
identify himself with the common
lot | heartily second the nomination. ."

BIC FACTORY TO CLOSE DOWN
WHILE TWO PLANTS ARE
CONNECTED,
CAPACITY IS TO Be DOUBLED
Plant Will Stop Saturday for First
Time Since 1t Was Put Into Op-
Grafton In Order to Prepare for In.
creased Business,

The large plant fo the Southeastern
Yaryan Naval Stores company will
close down Saturday afternoon for
the first time since it was put into
operation, and for the next week the
company will be busy connecting up
the addition to the plant, which has
been completed and is now ready for
operation.
The work of doubling the capacity
Of the plant by adding additional ma
chinery, new buildings, etc., has been
uncerWay ever since the plant was
first put into operation, it having been
decided at that time to at once dou-
be the capacity. A large force of
workmen has been engaged in erect:
ing the new plant, installing the ma
chihery, etc, and all of this work
has now been completed.
II order to connect the new ad-
dltlon to the old plant it will be
necessary to suspend operations for
several days as considerable work is
necessary, therefore it has been an.
nounced that the plant will suspend
operation Saturday and the entire
force will be put to work CONNECTING
~ the new addition.
Il is thought all of this work can
be accomplished within one week. and
When operation is resumed the plant
VI be equipped to turn out upwards
of 400 barrels of turpentine a day
AT present 200 barrels and over are
being manufactured every day, and,
as the capacity is to be doubled by
the addition, it is expected easily 400
barrels will be turned out daily.
The addition will necessitate the
employment of large number of ad-
ditlCnal hands at the plant, many of
whom have already been engaged. In
this connection it may be of interest
to state that the plant has been in
operation continuously since It was
first started and thousands of barrels
o. rosin and turpentine have been
turred out. The success has been far
greater than was expected by the
owners and the business has increas-
Ell with such rapidity that the addi-
ton has long since been needed.
