BOTH SIDES HEARD BY PROH|b|T|ON|STS
 DURING SESSIONS
Advocates of Change in State Health Department and ''Standpatters" Pre-
 sent Their Arguments

Dr. C. T. Marlborough of Opelika, member of the legislature and chairman or the committee on public health. is confident that the legislature will take action to- wards eliminating the politics which he and associates contend has made highly ineffective if not dangerous the health system of Alabama.
 During the two-day session of the pro- hibtion majority in Birmingham, the doc tors had an opportunity very freely to express their opinion regarding the changes which they think should be in- stituted The "stas.ratters' represented by the counselors Of the medical associa- ton of the state of Alabama had their inning. They insisted that conditions were exec ptionally fine and that no change should be made. The extremists had their inning. They very plainly confessed that the health system in the hands of the association had been proved a failure and urged the legislature to take the de- partment out of the hands of the doctors and put it in the hands of the people The "progressives' or supporters of the Gorgas bill made what seemed to be the best impression They were more nu- nierous in the first place and more in- sistent that salutary changes be wrought And then they had friend at court in the person of Dr. Yarbrough, the chair man of the committee into the hands Of which the bill will be entrusted.
 There is no question: said Dr. Tar brough, but that the legislature will take action regarding the conditions sur rounding the health department. The matter of public health is too important to be entrusted to a body of 100 men who hold office perpetually and who are not amenable to any constituency. I have talked with people from every section ol Alabama, and know that the sentiment demands that conditions be improved There is a call from every county of the state that the health officer be the most expert sanitarian available in the United States, that the health board be com posed in part of laymen, and be elected Ky the members-not the counselors-of the association"

Tn q Dungeon Vile"
White Woman Confined In Basement of County Jail On Heinous Charge of Abusive Language-Unable to Make Bond and Must Remain In Jail
 Until September
By CHARLES H. MANDY

In a vile dungeon In the basement of the county jail, in a place that has been declared time and again unfit for hu- man habitation.' by the prison inspector a white woman is incarcerated on that most vicious of all the charges on the statute books, abusive language She was placed in jail on warrant issued by a justice of the peace, who, by the way had no alternative but to issue the warrant and make it returnable to the criminal court for that is the way the law directs.
 Under the constitution she is innocent until proven guilty. That she is poor and friendless is evidenced from the fact that she could not make the nominal bond required. She can only be tried in the criminal court of Jefferson county for no other court has jurisdiction of such a heinous offense as abusive language Even the justice of the peace could not hear her defense, and if the proper affi- davt was made he was compelled to issue the warrant.
 Now under the laws of the state of Alabama this poor and friendless white woman will have to stay in jail until the criminal court again convenes. and do you know that court is in recess until the fall? To be more specific it will not reeonvene until the "second Monday in September . Just think of it? A white woman charged with most trival offense being kept in jail over two months and in a place you would not begin to keep dog, probably because she "sassed'' some one.
 There is no criticism due Sheriff Batsen for this condition. The woman was prop- erly committed and he placed her in the only place at his disposal. Furthermore he has done his best to make the place habitable. But it cannot be done. It IS a disgrace to the county and state that white women should be placed in such

surroundings, and it is further disgrace that not a jail in the county has matron to look after it's women prisoners.
 Only a few weeks ago Judge w. T. Grubb of the federal court ordered two white women, charged with violating the anti-drug act taken out of the county jail and placed in the detention home of the city welfare department, and stated that mo white woman under the iurisdic- ton of the United States court should stay in such a place" From time to time the solicitor of the county has re- leased white women on their own recog- nizance rather than keep them in the vile dungeon at the county jail
 There is hardly jurist in the county who is not in favor of striking the abusive language" charge off the statute books. 1t opens such wide avenue for spite work Neighbors will sometimes quarrel, and if one calls the other a harsh name a warrant can be secured and the speaker thrown into jail. Some of the judges are inclined to the opinion that no warrant of this character should be is- sued until the solicitors office has passed on it, but all agree that a change is urgently necessary.
 This woman's case Is another. of the many arguments for the court of common pleas, which never recesses. being given Jurisdiction over such offenses: in fact it is an argument for it's having jurisdiction over all minor offenses, for the poor and friendless who are unfortunate enough to set in the clutches of the law, during the recess of the court, are compelled to lie in jail for months before being tried Then again, the costs of the county court runs up to from $20 to $50 while the cost in the court of common pleas is less than $5. One dollar and cost in the county may be from $21 to s51 or more; s1 and cost in the court of common pleas can never exceed $6. And these costs have to be worked out on the county roads in the majority of instances. Does not justice and humanity demand a change?
