LAUGHED AFTER ALL

Young Carter's father allowed him
TO take a trip TO Europe last spring.
Before starting the youth made up a
cable code OF his own for possible use
while travelling. He gave dupli-
cate copy 20 his father. who locked
IT up in his desk without looking at
it,
A few weeks later the elder Carter
received a cable consisting Of one

Even the design of my construction

earth was broken on the Jersey coast

NEIL TO SPEAK HERE ON
PENSIONS FOR MOTHERS

Judge Henry Neil of Chicago, father of
mothers pensions. wires The Age Herald
that he will reach Birmingham today. He
gave his time and money in a successful
effort to get through the Illinois legjsla-
ture a bin providing compensation for
mothers. A similar bill has been enacted
into the law of Is other northern states
Judge Neil is endeavoring TO stir up
southern sentiment in favor OF the pro-
paganda which he represents He comes
to Birmingham direct from Louisville. In
letter received today. he said:
The system of pensioning good mothers
of dependent children is such a great
success in its operation in Illinois and
other states'' said Judge Neil this morn
ing, that it is. revolutionzing methods
or organized charity. The old inhuman,
worn-out method is to take children from
their mothers and send them to institu-
tons at an expense to the taxpayers of
three times what ii takes to pay the
mothers to take care of their own chill
dren in their own homes.
Imprisonment is no cure for poverty.
It's too bad TO have to send little chill
dren to penal institution because their
mothers aren't able to take care of them"
The plan which he proposes to follow
In Alabama is as yet unknown.

THINKS 'CORMACK
Suggests Giving Sheriff

Petty Criminals
GOOD CITIZENS

Sentence

rather unique method of stopping
the crime wave was suggested yesterday
by II. Ellis Mccormack, vice president
and general manager Of the Pratt Con-
solidated Coal company. In an inter-
view he said that if the sheriff was
turned loose after vagrants and thugs
without the newspapers yelling fee
grabber.' for one month"; the whole
trouble here would be cured. Mr. McCor-
mack said that the taxpayers did not
pay the fees nor did law-ablding citi-
zens. He suggested that the one who
paid the fees was the vagranr and thug
who loafed and who was arrested.
IF the sheriff is given "a free rein
after vagrants, thieves and murderers
in Birmingham, he can stop this much
discussed crime wave" said Mr. McCor-
mack II can show Sheriff McAdory

days. They are all over town and do
not work They have some negro wom-

they do not pretend to work.
The result is they want money to
buy whisky, gin and pool with they
burglarize houses and shoot up people.
However. If McAdors were to start a
campaign of this sort, he would be crit
icised by some of our alleged leading
citizens and the newspapers. lie natural
ly refrains from inviting these attacks,
which alleged that he is aetuated solely
by the fee system. The point | wish
to make, however. is this. The citizens
Of this county do not pay the fees.
The burglar arrested, tile vagrant called
to turn and others Of this idle class are
the who are forced to pay. They
work it out the roads
Give Sheriff Free Rein
4 wish the sheriff would start cam
paign and arrest every Idle negro and
white man in this district. He should
do 1t and the good people Of this com
munity would think he was right Every
nine out of 10 men who are idle through
election, will he found 10 have gun on
his person. That is an effective way to
stop these killings. Of which so much
has been said.
Il am I'm favor of the fee system APP
plying here to the extent that our Off
GERS are paid salary and the remainder
of the fees being turned into the county
treasury. II is certainly true that some
thing must he done. Birmingham is a
