The Laws Delay
ton

Eight months ago Horace Gray was
confined in the Jail of Etowah county
on charge of bigamy. He protested
his innocence. He demanded that the
state prove him guilty or release him.
According to Saturdays press dis
patches the prosecution concluded Fri
day that the charge against the
prisoner could not be substantiated
He was given his liberty.
During his confinement he lost his
job. He went out again to meet the
day without money and without wife.
For his better half, while he lay in
duress vile. disappeared.
Concerning the merits of the case
The Age-Herald knows nothing. 1t is
apparent, however, that an injustice
has been done the prisoner. When a
man is deprived of his liberty, de-
clared to be the sweetest of all pos
sessions, there should be, in the first
place, sufficient evidence to render
probable his conviction on the charge
preferred against him. In the second
place, the state should hasten to give
the man a trial, and if necessary, a
second trial, in order that through
uniustifiable confinement, the state
might not be guilty of an offense as
grave as that preferred against the
prisoner.
In Birmingham, at the present time,
New York Harry is in jail. He has
been confined for % months. Recent
ly, a jury failed to convict him or to
release him. While it is unworthy to
point out an evil without suggesting
a remedy, it might be said with GER
tain emphasis that something some
where is wrong. If New York Harry
is guilty of having participated in the
outrages of the Miller-Duncan gang,
he should be executed. Otherwise, he
should be given his liberty. 1t is
better to err in mercy thousand
times than to inflict terrible punish
ment on one innocent man.

steel Cnrs VS.. Wood

While the general impression is that
all the argument is in favor of steel
caIs as against wood,p said a man in
terested in railroad problems, sit must
be remembered that lumbermen and
those interested in wood products are
far from being convinced.
"A typical sentiment of the latter
group is that which l have just no
ticed in the American Lumberman
which reads:
while there has recently been a
great popular hue and cry for steel
cars because the belief is entertained
that they tend to prevent loss of life
through railway accidents. the Amer
ican Lumberman has hitherto voiced
the belief that such cars directly tend
to produce accidents because of excess
of weight upon the weights of rails in
most general use That they are di-
rcctly contributary cause for another
reason is indicated by the following cX-
tract from a recent issue of the Rail-
way Review:
THE change from wood to steel in
passenger car construction has brought
with it, among other problems, that
introduced by the nonyielding of the
car body to the torsional forces intro
doc ed when passing over uneven track
and more especially in rounding curves
because of this inelasticity excess pres
snres are brought to bear on diagonally
opposite side bearings, and trucks are
bound and prevented from curving
properly; much so that not a few
of tho recent derailmentS to steel mas
senger cars and trains are thought to
be directly chargeable to this fault.

FARMERS AND CLOTHES

From Personal Farm Equipment" by
r. E. Rogers. in Farm and Fireside.
1t has always seemed queer to me why
a well-to-do farmer would buy an up-to
date suit of clothes. shoes, hat, and so on.
Tor the wear that he can only give them
on two or three occasions each week
yet when he sheds these dress-up clothes
he puts on pair of overalls with one
suspender remaining, shoes with the soles
Off, hat with one rim off, and figures
IL he figures at all-that he is econo-
MIXING. If these clothes were to be worn
equally as long as the good ones there
wouldn't be SO much queerness about it.
But he lives in them. In buying the
good ones he looks for every point of
comfort and convenience even to the de-
tail of having an extra button sewed on
the inside of the coat for an emergency.
He will undoubtedly have a heavy suit for
winter and a lighter one for warm
weather. Yet he'll wear the same overaIs
and jacket in every kind of weather
IL hole works itself in one pocket he
changes his small change. nails, ruler
and knife to the other one, and incon-
veniences himself over and over.
In shoes it is a great deal the same.
He buys the latest models for comfort
and style when purchasing for what he
intends to wear two or three times n
week, but he will work on the farm, wad-
ing through wet grass and treading
cloddy ground for weeks, with pair of
shoes that are full of leaks, and whose
bottoms are ridged from sand and dirt
wedged between the parts of the soles
Many times the strings will be wanting
and a piece of binder twine is used in
their place.
Now how can man work in comfort
if he is harnessed up in such manner j?
If he is not working in comfort is he do
ing the most work physically that it is
possible for him to do? And if there is
anything irritating him, such as nail in
his shoe, will he be apt to develop as much
mental energy as when all his clothing
was comfortable in every way? And
isn't every little bit of brains needed for
carrying on successful farm these days ?

ROCkEEELLER FOR CHIN AIRY
From Leslie's.

f1Oln Leslie =.
Chivalry, The only lasting way to cure
the evils of society is by creating pub
lie sentiment against them. Laws will
not eradicate the social evil, but educa-
ton and the instilling of higher ideals will
do so. Mr. John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., in
addressing his Bible class, made a per-
tinent suggestion toward this end through
a revival of chivalry as it was displayed
by knights of old in their best days.
'If young men,, said Mr. Rockefeller,
would treat all women as they treat
their mothers and sisters. a very great
deal would be accomplished toward
solving the social evil problem" If all
the men in Bible classes, mems clubs
and the Young Mems Christian associa-
tion were to stand together in this chiv-
alric attitude toward all women, living
up to the standard of purity they ask of
their mothers and sisters, there would be
created a moral impetus among the young
men of America that would sweep the
false double standard before it,

from PENNSYLVANIA and the Likelihood
that Mr.. Underwood will be chosen to
Alabama in the upper cham
her. we have a clearing of the air IN
regard to the change of leadership IN
the House of Representatives
Mr.. Kitchin of North Carolina is ap-
pa parently destined for that hlghiy I'M
portant post X He has shown strength
and thoroughness. but not the Won
derful poise of Underwood, and the
conntry will have to rely partly upon
hone that he will measure up to the
re,.uirements But almost the same
thing might be said of any man VINO
might succeed the present leader OF
The House In fact, 1t might have been
sale: of Underwood himself before op-
portunity came to him.
There is in this leadership respon-
siLility and an inspiration tending to
bring out the best traits of any man
who falls heir to it, The place was
i,,portant enough before the modifi-
cation Of the House rules transferred
much of the speakers power to the
floor leader and it has been doubly
in, .portant since. 1t was fortunate for

A Republic That Is Crumbling

A great traveller once stood upon
the deck of his vessel and gazing
sadly at the outlines of Chinese city
exclaimed, "Oh, China, when wilt
thou open thy doors?"
This was many years ago and it re-
ouired centuries for the Celestial
kingdom to harken to the knockings
at its portals. However, it finally did
open those doors, but it seems as If
they are to be closed again so far as
the admission of progress and political
reforms are concerned.
Those who were most sanguine have
abandoned hope of regeneration for
China through the agency of constl-
tutional government and the last act
of Yuan Shi Kai in dissolving all Of
the district councils in the so-called
republic has robbed us of every vestige
of trust that some chance for progress
might yet obtain.
This move reflects the determination
of Yuan to suppress every semblance
of popular government in his domain
and lends color to the suspicion that
eventually he will proclaim himself
Emperor.
The establishment of Confucianism
as the religion of the country recently
promulgated by decree is convincing
evidence of the cunning of the man
who now fills the executive chair, es-
pecially when it has been rumored that
he was by no means orthodox. Vastly
different is his policy from that of
Huerta or other Latin American ty-
rants who, vile as they may be, have
the temerity to unveil their designs
Yuan is crafty; he moves with the
stealth of the tiger and the cunning
of the fox.
1t may be that a zone man. govern
government is the only feasible form
of rule for China; it may be that the
Mongolian is not yet ready and
equipped for popular institutions, but
if such is the case it better behooves
Yuan to openly so declare and SC
bolster his policy than to sneak into
a position or imperial status with the
stealth of thief and the football OF
a feline.
1t is devoutly to be hoped that this
diagnosis of the situation is incorrect
but the signs of the times are directly
at variance with such hope.
