SAYS TIDEWATER BONDHOLD- FRS ARE SEEKING TO EvADE CLAUSE PROHIBITING PUR- CHASE BY COMPETITIVE CON- PANY

'eThe statement that the Tidewater lines which are now in the bankruptcy courts are to be purchased by the bond holders is a joke yesterday said Dr. A. J. Dickinson. who has started move ment for the city to buy the bankrupt concern by underwriting It's bonds.
 "The Tidewater was thrown into bank ruptcy," said pr. Dickinson, by its bond holders and it's bondholders are it's stock holders. So, what's the use of John smith going into bankruptcy to buy John Smith $ own stock in order to rehabilitate Johr Smiths company?

Simms Writes Letter

Dr. B. B. Simms of Talladega Is an- other who has rushed to the defense of the association. Dr. Simms Is counsel1or-though in his letter to The Age Herald he does not say IS much. He was until recently a beneficiary of the system which he defends, having served as president of the association. Tn his letter he does not relate that fact.
 He Is considerably agitated for fear lest some individual might be ii- fluenced because of statement in The Herald of Sunday to the effect that the state health officer is elected by the state board of health. The state board of health, according to the doc tor recommends the state health of- ficer and the association dominated by the counsellors, elects the man recOm- mended by the state board of health
 pr. Simms writes in this respect as follows:
 "The voting strength of the said association consists of a college of ccunsellors and a house of delegates Each county medical society is en- titled to two delegates. except Jencr- son has seven, Montgomery four, Mo bile four Dallas three, totaling IA delegates These delegates are elected by the county medical societies to rep resent them in the annual meeting Of the state association. The aforesaid ; board of public health is elected not only by the counsellors. but by the delegates also. The state health officer l ia not elected by this board of public health, but Is recommended by this board and elected by counsellors and delegates. Every doctor in the state may have his sentiments and corvic- tions voiced in the annual meeting or the state association by his county lel- ePates. Of course this voting Is cone ny counsellors and delegates together in convection assembled"

 The politically independent physl- clans are struggling to the end that the health department of the state might be divorced from the poHtics which engulf the association and as a result might become more efficient and more progressive.

 Letter From Mir. Ward
 "Referring to the proposed election on the 2Sth, will say that the whole thing in my judgment should have been unnecessary.
 Several gentlemen who happened to be elected to the legislature in canl- paign where the workings of the city government were not raised or men toned have no right to thrust their per sonal views in the shape of laws on | the other 175,000 who may or may not agree with them. Some of these gentle men who were elected are at enmity with certain members of the city commits sion, and as result, the bill was in troduced changing the cornerstone oi the government from three to five com- missioners. This same bill contains hundreds of other features, some oi 1 which I am inclined to think are wise 1 However, those features which the peo pie of Birmingham show they wan can easily be obtained by amendmen to the present commission bill.
 Keep Schools Out of Politics
 For instance. l am in favor O.
 the initiative, the referendum and the recall, all three. l am also iE favor of a member of the city com mission being on the school board. 1 am not in favor of the school sys- tenn of Birmingham being demoral-
 ized and made a political machine, pulled hither and thither in every
 election by the multitude of fathers,
 cousins brothers, uncles and friends
 of tine six eight hundreds o5
 teachers that are to be employed.
 q believe if you will reflect nor deeply you will see the wisdom of keep ing the school system out of politics
 Tn regard to putting various detail on the ballot, the commission coul not justify itself in selecting two 0 three questions that MT Shapiro. or M Anybody Else might think vital an discriminate against all the others tha Mr. Jones or Smith or Brown migh think more important
 Furthermore. I am thoroughly con vinced that the business men and tn } workingmen and other citizens of BiI mingham, as we'll as the three commis sioners are as much students of govern ment and as much interested In tn welfare of Birmingham, and jus as able to size up the efficiency of
 system of government as are any ( the gentlemen sent to the. legislatur r from this county.

gon, Feb. ~, 1915.
Editor Evening Herald;
am sure that the same kind aud
candid spirit In which the Evening
Herald OF February !. referred to
Christian Science would prompt the
cordial acceptance Of an accurate
statement on the points involved.
That there is a growing sense Of fair
ness and religious tolerance every
where In evidence. Is an occasion for
much gratitude. In your kindly ref
erence to Christian Science, you make
the statement that 1T is based large
ily upon the belief that many OF the
ills the flesh Is supposed heir TO are
but vagaries Of the mind that the
cultivation OF will power and the
! creation OF beautiful thoughts VIII
tend to alleviate the greater portion
Of these"
Now this statsment includes very
popular misconception OF what Christ
Ian Science teaches.
Christian Science is based upon
the teaching that God 10 infinite
divine mind, This mind Ia expressed
In a spiritual and perfect creation
including man In Gods image and
likeness. sinless and eternal Ths
suppositional opposite. for. In reality
INFINITE mind can have NO opposite

mortal. mind is made up of beliefs
In materiality. sin, sickness and
death. Christian Science teaches
that all manifestations OF evil are
error. even as in mathematics the he
lief that two and two make Ave Is
an error. mistake, supposition
that there Is time and place where
two and two do not make four.
A mathematician does not employ

mathematics. He well knowss that the
only way In which he can correct
mistake In numbers is by acquatnt-
ing himself with the truth. Like
wise. Christian Science teaches it's
students that evil. sin and the Ills
[ of the flesh cannot be overcome by
the use OF human will. Only through
the understanding of God. and man
as His image and likeness. can error
be destroyed. Jesus said. "Ye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free" The practice OF
I Christian Science is. therefore. the
practice Of scientific right thinking.
Christian Science does not teach one
how to bring things to pass. does not
teach the creation OF beautiful
thoughts" but rather unfolds to hu-
man consciousness the heautiess OF
Gods spiritual. perfect and eternal
creation. Mrs. Eddy says. "Jesus

this perfect man the Savious saw
