DECENT PROCESS OF LAW.

A short time ago, an ]atrocious muir
der was discovered in London. A few
days ago, a jury after % minutes de-
liberation, brought in a verdict of
guilty against the perpetrator. The
Judge promptly sentenced him to be
hanged on July 81. Thus the whole
interval between the discovery of the
crime and the final disposal of the
wretch who committed it will be only
a few weeks: for the probability of
any interference with the sentence by
way of appeal is almost nil.
The contrast between such expedi-
tious and decent dispatch of criminal
business and what we are familiar
with in this country is painful. We
say decent" because the meaningless
and frivolous delays which so fire.
quently drag out the processes of JUS
tice in America are really as much
of an offense against decent standards
of fitness as against efficiency. If the
cumbrousness and ~dilatoriness of our
ways were calculated to effect more
exact justice, the case would be alto
gether different; but nobody p%retends
that we can lay claim to any such SUI
periority,
Our shiftless liberation of all sorts
of trihings with what ought to be the
stern and vigorous operation of the
machinery of justice means a gross
waste of time, money and energy,
with no other result than that of re-
ducing to a de~plorable minimum the
impr~essiveness and the deterrent eff
cacy of the working of the criminal

A SMILES ~CoNTAGIoN.

He enters a place Of business where
care and the ordinary business wor-
ries have borne heavily on employer
and employes-he enters the place
with his inevitable smile-and the at
mosphere changes. They are contd-
giors, these smiles. They catch you
whether you feel in 8 smiling mood
or otherwise, and for some reason
you smile, too. Possibly you hear a
good natured laugh from the other
side of the room. 1t comes rolling
across, and you find yourself, tired as
you are, smiling a bit too.
The wearer of the good natured
smile, usually unconsciously, is help
ing the world along. He may not
know that the rest OF us are getting
just as much out of his laugh as he is.
But we are, and he, unknown to him
self, is easing the toll of a long day
for some and Tightening the burden
for others. Happily good humor is
contagious.

CITY MANS COUNTRY FARM.

The right feeling city mar look;
forward to spending his old age on a
farm in the country. This is a true
statement, but subject to modifica-
tons.
In the first place, the farm will be
in the country, but not too far in.
The idea is to have it near enough
town to run in for a night at the show
or lodge and get home again by 1890.
The farmhouse will be a little more
complicated than ~farmhouses usually
are. 1t will be hot water heated and
vacuum cleaned. 1t will have of tiled
bathrooms perhaps three, a Dutch
kitchen, a paneled dining room and
bedrooms with period furniture. Farm
erS whose tastes are so simple will
doubtless add a pergola and a sun
room to this plain, but serviceable
equipment.
The farm, whether it is ten, fifty
or one hundred acres, must have a

will lay milk and butter, the chickens
will lay eggs and b~roilers and the
garden will lay vegetables and small
fruits. Also there will be an orchard
that will lay apples, mostly Maiden
Blush. Since the farm is to be self
contained, it will raise its own v%iolets,
mushrooms and American Beauty ros-
es, and will, of course, have a gasoline
well at which the motor car can be
watered. While the owner of the
farm will not engage in the actual
manual labor of tilling the soil, he
expects greatly to assist Nature by
exercising an intelligent supervision
yer the growing crops. With him
bossing the job and half a dozen farm
hands doing the chores, agriculture
may well apprephend a great uplift.

Regarding an Auditorium

Birmingham is to have several large conventions next year and the Nauonal Federation of Music clubs has accept ed this city's invitation to hold US pl- ennial meeting here in 1917. The led eration assemblies several thousand people-delegates and visitors-and the Musical Courier of New York h. inmates that unless assurance is given that an adeouate auditorium will be nrovided the executive committee may change the place of meeting to some other city.
 The Rotary club has taken up the auditorium matter and with an active movement in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce and the Music studv club the city commission may be induced to submit to the voters an auditorium bond issue within the next few months. It is a movement well worth while.
 When the people have an opportun- ity of voting on the auditorium prop osition there will be no doubt as to the result. It will carry by an overwhelm- ing majority.
 Until Birmingham had ample hotel accommodations it was not prepared to entertain large national bodies. But today it is better off in hotels than any other city in the south, with the pos sible exception of Richmond, and 1t is abreast even of that historic tourist center.
 Since having modGrn hotels Birming- ham has become widely advertised as a convention city, and when the audi torium is built, as it must be some day, Birmingham will hold a position sec ond to none from a convention point of view.
 These are prosperous times, and next year will witness high record in building activity here. The audi torium should be one of the new buildings.
 Birmingham simply cannot afford to lose any convention that is invited to come here because of the lack of an auditorium. To delay in this enter prise would be poor economy in the end.

Habits of Pedestrians

There is a vast difference between one side of the street and the other on some thoroughfares," said Joe Hughes, day manager of a taxicab company.
 Formerly our place of business was on the east side of Nineteenth street. Recently we moved directly across the street and if any one would have told me the difference was so noticeable when it came to the number of people who walked only on one side or the other of the street, I would not have believed him. It is true, though. that any number of people may become &C., cumstomed to walking on one particu- lar side of a street and never walk on the other side.
 Speaking of people on the side walks makes me think how fast some folks in Birmingham do walk. I sup- pose Birmingham is one of the few cities In the south where citizens have such vigorous and fast walk. You seldom see any one going along at a leisurely gait. They all appear to be in real big hurry. This looks good to any one for it generally means they are business bound and want to at tend to 1t as quickly as possible. There have been more people on the streets of Birmingham lately than ever be- fore, all of which means times are bet ter and prosperity is here for keeps
