quaintness and it's entire change in
point of interest, to many other
places, they have received marked
benefit from it's climate. Mrs. Trow
bridge expressed herself as so much
impressed with old Santa Fe that it is
not at all unlikely that they may come
here in the future to live. Both OF
these people have also taken grea7
interest in the archaeological school
and the curious and fascinating sights
to be seen in the Old Palace.
In speaking of the architecture OF
Santa Fe and the idea promulgated by
the city planning board to keep as
much as possible the architecture OF
the city similar to its antiquity, Mr..

that they know of no plan that would

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Sunday Moving Pictures

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
To what extremeties of injustice would
the several minister's associations go
were they endowed with the privilege OF
absolute government of a municipality?
Is the church such a weak, decrepit
thing that it must lean heavily upon the
law for its existence? Would the COM
petition of the moving pictures empty the
pews?
If there were an insufficient number OF
persons residing in Birmingham to whom
Sunday amusements are without sin to
make these amusements profitable, it is
obvious there wouldn't be any. That
there are a great many people in this city
who do not so to church regularly if at
all is a fact iridisputable. Has the church
or the state the right to dictate to these
people what they shall not do on sun
day that they may do upon any other day
of the week? These people pay their taxes
and among them will be found as large a
proportion of law abiding, good citizens as
among the church people.
Aside from this right the church gains
little or nothing by these "bue laws" and
to the state they are entirely useless. sun
day laws do not diminish crime, pro-
mote peace or orderllness, and have a
distinctly baneful effect upon prosperity.
No man in this day ever goes to church
because the church removes competition.
And no man goes to moving pictures If he
wishes to go to church.
As compromise, however, I should
suggest If the churches fear the compe-
tioion. that the picture shows remain
closed between the hours of and $3.50
p. m, or during church hours, on sun
day Respectfully, X. w. BURKE.

Japanese Politics

To the Editor of The Age-HeraId.
Recent press comment on the political
situation in Japan, which has led to Sc
rious rioting and the stoning of Premier
Katsura on the streets of Toxic, does not
throw much light on the situation. May
| be allowed to say that the essence of the
quarrel between Katsura and the people
Is not miltarism but the deeper question
of political righteousness. The people
want a period of commercial development;
they also want to conserve the fruits of
past military success in Korea and in
Manchnria But they do not want to
hold Korea under unjust and oppressive
cruelties; nor do they want military am
bition and display to take attention from
the crying need of domestic reforms.
At the heart of the situation you have
the universal worldwide struggle of the
privileged classes against the common
wealth. But Japan is a wideawake ma
ton, with many able and popular news
papers. which do not hesitate to speak
true words of advice and oriticising In
paper comment the people are expressing
their will against the Katsura type of
politician. Nothing could be more I'M
just than to assume that he is working
for ar era of peace while the people want
an era of military glory Quite the op
posite of that is nearer the truth. What
the masses need is a statesman who will
conserve the welfare of the people; and

That's what I said

Uncle Dan. you have employed me as
your attorney, and furthermore you have
paid my fee, now you have simply got to

Unc.e Dan muttered something about
the strange method of defense, but never
theless went with Lis attorney to the
justice ucurt. lie vas evidently much
disturbed at the proposition presented 30
him by the young disciple OF Blackstone
and was not at all convinced that the
course lie proposed to pursue was the
right one.
Are al, the parties to this here case OF

his quid fem one cheek to tac other.

were duly sworn, TO tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth

mences the defendant desires to make a
statement"

tell YOU right here, that 1 wouldn't be-

Old Dan climbed into the chair and
keeping his eyes fixed on the mobile fea-
lures of hs attorney said:

You can't tell lie. why gosh ding your

a hoe in year, you old hypocrite. Get
our here you are discharged, and the
prosecutor is taxed with the costs.
And as Charlie and his client left the
court room the justice remarked TO his
constable: 81 never did take much stock
in that George washington cherry tree

Every one is more or less familiar with
that old time classic that begins "Some
folks say that a niger won't steal, way
down yonder in the corn field" Whether
this assertion is mere poetieal license or
sarcasm is left to the individual
viewpoint. Ordinary observation would
lead one to believe that niger will
latch on TO anything that is not nailed
down. The writer of those immortal lines
might have written Some folks say that
a niger won't lie." and raised the same
question of doubt. This article has to do
with one individual who not only believed
that a Niger will lie in the ordinary
manner. but that he has no regard for
his oath. Although he was an officer
