Good Tickets

Commissioners Mcmillan, Slater
and Shagren should be given
the brand of "good tickets" that
used to be distributed in years past
by teacher to the boys and girls who
hadn't whispered or sassed during
the week. The conduct Of the COM
missioners during the present term
of office has been exemplary. They
seem to be doing their best as mas
tiers of Whatcom County's business,
and their actions thus far have
produced a general tranquility and
harmony.
And when officials or employees
are doing work that is good, why
shouldn't they be commended just a
little? AS rule, the American
press has been too much given to
saying sharp things about public Of
ficers, or to praising them ex-
travagantly during political cam
paigns. Why can't the newspapers
take a saner course, and as spokes-
men for the people, praise as well
as condemn?
The Tribune is of the opinion
that the County Commissioners are
doing justice to their positions. 1t
is glad to acknowledge their good
work.

NO OTHER LIVE WIRES IN HEPLAYGROUNDS Nespor Says Wire in West Park Is Beyond Reach
 of Children

''Very naturally I was grieved to learn year-old boy who was electrocuted in West Park when he grasped live wire which was few feet above the top cross bar of the swing" said z. Nespor, supervisor of public playgrounds for the city of Birmingham. "I am not aware of any other wires that are live in any of the playground parks and I don't see how the boy came to climb up on the swing and grasp the wire. Had 1t not been for the heighth of the boy he could never have grasped the wire
 'The wire which Stanley Cole grasped is several feet from the top of the swing and he must have jumped to reach it. understand the boy was large for his age and climbed up on the top of the cross bar supporting the swings for the purpose of walking across it without any support. It is probable that he lost his balance and when he started to fall jumped for the wire, which is not di- rectly over the bar on which the boy was walking, but rather on the right side of it.
 Stanley Cole was larger than the bows that the playgrounds supervisor is sup posed to have control of and the result was that he was in the park when no one was there to see to the safety of the little fellows"
 Funeral services will be held this aft ernoon at Shaws private chapel and the remains will be sent to Attalla, where they will be inferred Sunday.

 HIS SUPPORT TO THE
 PROGRESSIVE PARTY
Insists That the United States Should Change Tariff and Prepare
 for Peace

Albany, N. T., August 6.-George w. Perkins and 2s other progressives of the state, at a closed meeting here today, adopted resolutions pledging unswerving fealty to their party and urging any voters dissatisfied with conditions in other parties to come into the progress sive party
 Harrison Deyo of Yonkers, who made public such news as to be given out. saic that no conferee ever suggested returning to the republican fold.
 MT. Perkins in an address insisted that the United States should prepare for peace by changing the tariff and also prepare for war. If the war were to stop now, he insisted, Europe would flood this country with the products of cheap labor and great business depression would follow. The progressive party. he con- cluded. is the only one that offers plan looking to preparing this country to fight the battles of the industrial marts in case of peace, or the battles of guns and men in case of war.
 A dozen other persons also spoke. Their remarks, especially those touching on Colonel Roosevelt and the future of the progressive party were greeted with ap- plause.

TWO ARRESTED ON
 BURGLARY CHARGE
Detectives Claim Men Are Working Clever Scheme to Gain Access
 to Residences

Detectives Goldsten and Brown lodged Sam Jones and O. l.. Primrose in jail on charges of burglary yesterday after noon at o'clock.
 It is alleged that the men visited the house of Mrs. J. M Duel, 1918 North Seventeenth street, Thursday night. but not in the way that burglars ordinarily do. According to Detective Brown the men went up the front steps of Mrs. Duel's residence and rang the bell. When they received no response they walked into the house and ransacked the place. As they were about to leave Mrs. Duel ap- peared on the scene and the burglars dropped their booty and ran. They were arrested on Nineteenth avenue and Jas pr street yesterday afternoon and, it is claimed, were trying the same game Os- tensibly the men were calling on house. wives for the purpose of sharpening their lawn mowers. but if the lady of the house did not happen to be in they pro- ceded to help themselves.
 These men in my opinion, are old hands at the game they have been work ing in Birmingham, said Detective Brown. Mrs. Duel has identified them as the same ones whom she ran out of her house night before last and we have the goods on them"

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In April, 1913, four cases were in the city court of Talladega county for the, violation of the prohibition laws. The courts held my bonds forfeited which amounted to the sum of $130O and rather than pay the $19OO paid fine and ex- oepted a parole for six months. In August. 1913, the sheriff of Talladega county arrested negro by the name of Will Hardwick. The sheriff promised the negro that if he would turn states evil dence they would remit his sentence, which amounted to about 12 months. They then remitted his sentence, but arraigned him in three cases for violation of the prohibition law. He was found guilty and fined $500 in each case. Hardwick has also been arrested for the murder of a white man In Talladega county. He was sent up from Jefferson county for steal ing horses and has been convicted twice for larceny. He served this sentence and is now lodging the authorities of Talla- dega county for violation of the prohibi- ton laws.
 Lately the sentence pending against

Against Dividing County

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Business of a very pressing nature hav- ing prevented me from attending the meeting of the members of the Chamber of Commerce held today at the auditorium at 10:S0 o'clock for the purpose of pro- testing against the efforts of certain politicians to divide the imperial county of Jefferson. I would thank you to allow me space to say that I am opposed to any plans to divide this county, and I sin cerely believe that a large majority of the citizens are likewise opposed to a di- vision There is absolutely no sound rea- son being advanced for a division of this county, and I deem it the patriotic duty of every citizen of this great county to stand firm and protest against any effort of self-seeking politicians to divide one of the greatest counties in the southern states.

FURNACE ACTIVITY IN DISTRICT IS GREATER
 NOW THAN SINCE 1907


S1 furnaces in blast in the Birming- ham district.
 These are as follows: Tennessee com pany 9. Woodward Iron company 8. Sloss-Sheffield company f. Republic Iron and Steel company 2, Gulf States steel company 1, Alabama company 1. The Vanderbilt furnace of the Wood ward company Is now undergoing re- pairs, and is to go into blast soon. it is stated. One of the Republic fur naces at Thomas is now undergoing repairs and will probably be blown in within a month or so.
 This makes furnace activity in the Birmingham district greater than at any time since 1907. when practically every furnace in the district was In op- eration. In course of another month or two, if present improvement contin- ues 1t is generally believed that the operations of 1907, however, will be re- peated.

conditions point, therefore. to still further rise of the marekt.
 The basic condition responsible for the improved foundry pig iron mar ket is generally taken. to be the great activity in finished steel products for export. which has created a large de- mand for Bessemer and basic pig, and the northern and eastern fur naees are operating on this product, taking them out of competition with southern furnaces on foundry iron. The stocks of foundry iron, so heavy last winter. have gradually been shipped out until today finds them practically exhausted, furnace activity not having kept up with orders and steady growing demand.
