sHave you read the suryeyT' Every body in Birmingham Is asking every body else. I asked it, personally, Of my friend, MT. Walter Moore, the other day.
 Said he: 'Tn give you an interview about Surveys all right-if you'll agree fo use it. Surveys"
 .ewby, what's the matter with the ssurvey'7" l asked.
 ~Ill tell you what I think" said the president of the Red Star Coal com pany, who makes no bones about ms opinions, If you'll write it'
 "oh. I'll write it," said I, but sud denlyf recalling the pile of unfinished work interrupted by the Christmas hol- adays, I compromised. INT. Moore please dictate 1t to your stenographer. Then I'll drop by and get it!''
 captain J. V. Allen, who was in the nffice. chuckled. MT. Walter Moore shook his head: '1ll tell you just ex- ectlv what think" said he. "and say 1t right to youl"
 But he didn't He said everything altogether pleasantly-as he has way of saying things to ladies-that the interview in Sundays Age-Herald given to A colleague (alasl not to meD came es-how shall 1t be put?-a bolt out of the blue!
 And it is -straight-to-me!
 How shall stand it?
 That "personally responsible" phrase, savory though 1t isl-flls me with ter TOT. In fact, the whole situation brings up a story I just heard. The little son of one of the coal operators who is Just out of kits, has recently started a magazine all his own. He determined upon make up which would be a combination of Puck, Judge and Life, which, with the sublime and unconscious humor of childhood. he called Lawyer" Now 1t seems from the text of this Sunday interview. as il my friend, MT. Moore is considering just such a combination scheme and is entering the field to put that little chap out of business.
 Pretty Strong Combine
 How will the survey" survive this new Puck -Judge-Life combine, l won der? Now, however. let us stop being frivolous. Let us face both the facts and fiction of the case before us, pre- serve the wise, judicial mind, and have before our vision just one thing: the greatest good to the greatest number Therefore:
 My dear MT. Walter Moore:
 The skeletons in your closet, in mine
 eli remain undiscovered by that Survey bunch. They aren't even joggledl But serene and safe they are grinning hap oily over their narrow escape, arc locked in as tight as ever, and even a little bit tighter.
 What those, as you call them, red headed -sons-of sea-cooks. were after haven't been our private skeletons al all, but simply our public ones. And not such skeletons after all, but alive full bodied, full blooded evils flourish ing on our broad highways. Just such evils as you remark in yesterdays pa per. abound about you"
 They certainly do abound.
 In front of us. to right to left of us and hard pressing in the rear And they have been let abound, Nay, the5 wax stronger as the years go by There Is no blinking the facts
 'Early cancerous growths upon oul social and political body" as you SC aptly phrase it, exist in Birmingham as they likewise exist in other places Do they have to?
 Are they being remeded by the cit kzens of Birmingham?

THE CLEAN OF THE WATERS.


II know there are cynical men
who say that they are not sentiment
Ital. know there are men who shrug
their shoulders and say That is all
very pretty, but it don't work out
| know there are men who cover
their springs of action and pretend
that they do not care for sentiment.
but if you take the pains TO take
that mask a way, you will see the
CLEAN OF the waters. Every man has
deep in him a great sentiment of
what is just and right, and it is that
we are seeking, to regulate the con-
science in order that men may look
back upon this gracious year Of 1910
and say, All! that was a time when
we turned about and recovered
some of the ancient, honorable, glor-
ious principles of American politics,
when men recovered their con
sciences, and, through seeking, found
it, in a way that enabled them to
recover, realize, in part at any rate,
the great impulses of right which
underlie all nations Woodrow

THE THING THAT CONCERNS US.

It is not easy for people, who are
not actually on the ground 10 reau
the accounts of the Becker trial win
out preiudging the case and render-
inc q verdict for the state, before
the evidence is in. Yet surely thal
is not the right mental atiltdue LOT
fair-minded people.
For after all it is not the question
of guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused mar thai concerns the people
generally. He may be entirely IN
nocent. He may be guilty. he may
be merely .he innocent victim OF q
bideous conspiracy. 1t is not Becker
that interests us so must as the awtul
chaos of iniquity which has gwen
birth Il his trial.
For one or two things must De
true: he is a police officer, ofhclal
guardian OF the lives and property
Of the people who lived within the
scope of his official activities,
had been hand in glove with thieves
and %murderers, profiting by their
crimes, melting them to crime, and
throwing about them the mantle OF
official protection; or he is a police
officer, without r%eproach, blameless
in his life. and honest in the admin
istration of his duties, yet placed on
trial for his life by a conspiracy OF
the thugs against whom he warred.
On ether superstition the affair IS
appalling. 1t indicates possibilities
that can not be contemplated with
out horror. What we have to hope
in connection with it is that 1t Will
give impetus to the already rapidly
growing sentiment that we shall have
to devse some methods of city gov
eminent in our country infinitely
better than anything we now have,
and therefore radically different
from anything we have. Given
the will-that is to say the necessary
public sentiment-and a way for the
reform will surely be found.
