Amusements on Sunday

To the Editor Of The Age-Herald.
 In view of the hysteria and acute mania manifested by your reporter in his write-up of the interview between the commission and the pastors, proba- bly, he ought to be excused for getting practically all his data wrong. In view of the fact that I was one of the pas tors, and a first-hand witness of what happened, and he was writing only on what he terms reliable authority" I may be able to impart to him surcease of excitement by assuring him that his solicitude is due entirely to a joke his reliable authority has played on him. The reign of the pastors conference so disturbing to his soul, has never been a historical fact, but only a psy- chological state, of which he alone seems to have been conscious; but this does not affect the joy he and the rest of us experience over his recovery from his delusion. I trust the following facts will prove soothing and consol- ing:
 There has never been any difference between the commission and the pas tors conference about the proper policy to be persued in this matter of Sun day picture theatres, and that policy is to let them stand towards Sunday as an institution and the laws establish ing and maintaining that day as a civil Sabbath in exactly the same relation that all similar concerns sustain. The effort to get for them any special fran chise or exemption or immunity not enjoyed by all similar concerns, both the commission and the pastors con- ference have disapproved; nor has any such special privilege been granted them, nor is it likely that any will be. Nor is this policy due to any sugges- tion from the pastors conference; but 1t was determined upon by the commits sion itself through it's own delibera- tions, and announced to the pastors who approved as wise. The picture theatres have been and are under "the reign of the commission; and the deposition of the pastors from their royal preroga- lives does not affect their status quo before the law at all. So will you kind ly call in your reporter and calm his soul from self-imposed excitement in cited by "his reliable authority;" for 1t does grieve us much to have him thus to suffer needless sorrow.

NEW COURT LAW IS INVOLVED IN SUITS
 IN SUPREME COURT
Will Be Made Preferred Cases Because of Their Importance-DecisiOns
 of Court Yesterday

 Montgomery, November 11-(Spe- cial)-Constitutionality of the general court consolidation law was attacked in two cases presented to the supreme court on oral arguments today. Be- cause of the importance of the cases and the issue involved they will be made preferred ones and decisions probably will be handed down within six weeks Appeals came from the city court of Birmingham and the city court of Talladega.
 | In the Birmingham case, J. Q. Smith asked the court to direct the probate judge of Jefferson county to put his name on the ballot as a candidate for judge of the city court. When the cer- tificate was presented to J. F. Stiles, probate judge, he refused to put the name on the ballot as a candidate for the legislature abolished the court. An appeal was taken to the city court, which was asked to issue writ of mandamus directing Judge Stiles to comply with the requests. The court decided against MT. Smith. Similar proceedings were begun in the city court of Talladega. In attacking the court consolidation bill, Horace Wilkinson of Birmingham, that it is unconstitutional because the title contains only two subjects while the body of the bill contains four. Decisions in the supreme court today follow:
 Anderson, C. J.-Otis Paul vs. w l.. Thompson ct al, appeal from Pike chan cery court; affirmed. Somerville, J.-Dora D. Staples vs. City Bank and Trust company, appeal from Mobile circuit court; reversed and re- manded.
 Ex parte Sherman Johns, petition for certiorari to the court of appeals, in rt Johns vs. state, appeal from Pike circuit court; writ denied.
 H. Pope & Co. vs Union Warehouse company, appeal from Coosa circuit court; reversed and remanded Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany vs. w. c. McCarty, appeal from Bir. mingham city court; reversed and re- manded.

than $95 per gross ton. Within two years her value has doubled. The Danish steamer Lucy Anderson of 1052 tons. also built at Newcastle in 1904. was sold for $l35.O00.
 Although one cannot really form fair estimate of the value of any passenger steamer without her careful inspection first the price of $lso,ooO paid for the prize steamer Hans Woermann, a cargo and passenger vessel of 4o59 tons. built at Port Glasgow in 1900. seems reas soma be enough. In spite of the high prices paid, there is no doubt the buyers will work the ships at a profit. It is even estimated that purcha sers of prize ships at the beginning of the year have re- couped themselves by the freights for the capital cost of the steamers, and could sell the vessels today at price far in excess of what they paid for them. The high prices paid now are based on the assumption that the vessels will take ad- va-tsAs of the high market rates.

over the temporary triumph of the po- sitlon taken by the commissioners against the position taken by the Pas tors union? The Pastors union be- lleves in preserving the sanctity of the Sabbath; but for sometime it has stood squarely and only for the preservation of the civil Sabbath. For that we stand unequivocally and eternaIly-not to be swerved by any editor or reporter or commission or moving picture men. We Know We are right We know that time will prove that laxity on the Sab bath question will flood our city with wide open Sunday stores, Sunday the atres, Sunday baseball and hordes of nti-Sa bbath forces, which shall bring. floods of vice and troubles to this great city. Does The Age Herald believe that the forces which fight the things for which the Pastors union stands are safer guides than men who watch for souls" and their best and highest moral uplift? Where does The Age Herald stand? For the preservation or de- struetion of the Sabbath? Does The 1tual needs of the people of Birming- ham than the Pastors union? Is it for a wide-open city or against it. Please answer this without evasion
 once more: l cannot understand why Dr.. Barber should be quoted as sav- ing; 'I talked the situation over with them"-Dr. Dickinson and mysef-"and as result I do not believe they will ask for a referendum" We left de- mand in writing, signed by both of us, and asked that it be presented to the commissioners He promised to do so, and we expect him to do so in the event any formal action is taken in this matter. Somebody is mistaken. We have asked We do ask. We shall not cease to ask. Dr. Barber has our asking in writing in his possession.
 Respectfully, L. F. WRITTEN.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 Many of us have smiled when read ing the letters of c. P. Orr and Dr. George Eaves as contributed to your paper in their arguments for or against the proper use of certain words, and, while the writer feels that he is tread ing on dangerous ground when he at tempts to enter the lists with these skilled and capable gentlemen, never theless he begs your indulgence to the extent of printing his opinion regard ing the important and weighty matter as to whether or not one may become Aggravated" ''aggrieved." provoked" or. even go the limit and become .'peeved."
 Practice has developed with the pass ing years, certain rules or laws for the correct and proper use of various words, just as it has developed certain laws regulating the conduct of other human customs and habits But, why attempt to enforce these laws to the extent of making each human being look and act as though he were an automatan, laced in a steel straight jacket. and operated by clockwork? ? Why not be little more liberal-why

LETTERS TO EDITOR
What Does The Age-Herald Mean?

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In your issue of this date, November II, in flaming headlines, this is seen: sIong Reign of the Pastors Union Has Been Ended at Last And then follow statements which seem to show that "the Pastors Union of Birmingham, ' composed of men who seek only the glory of God and the good of their fell low men, are and have been dogmatic and hard headed in their places and positions in this city. The Age-Herald is a great newspaper, goes into thou sands of homes and has great influence Does it, in this mornings issue, gloat

WHATS THE USE?"
Social Service Department By MRS. SIDNEY NJ. ULLMAN

the atmosphere of the derelect, but place that will make her look up and re- gain her self-respeet.
 We are not asking charity for her or her unfortunate sisters; we are asking equality for the sexes, for man is never the outcast. Do you dare say this girl is the natural consequence of incidence and
 ncompetency? No It is the economic condition. caused by the desire for your comfort and ease gathered through the underfed nnderpaid other woman.
 You are your sisters keeper, and her conditions are your problems.
 This girl must have place to go soon, a place that will be the starting point in her life to better things. How shall we help her? Not with money; she will work for that; not with pity, we should pity ourselves: that we are so blind, not with gifts, already they have have been too lavish but with love and companionship and good home.
 Birmingham has many institutions for the moral and physical assistance of her unfortunates. Hospitals reform schools and detention homes for the woman sen fenced by the city and federal court; the Y. w. c. A. for the girl of unquestion- able character; Pisgak Home for the der elect; church societies, etc, but it lacks place for the woman that wants to try to be straight, a sort of cooperative nOteI Tor Worklng glrlS instead of the cheap boarding house.
 In speaking of the Y w. c. As tray elers aid worker. they were unanimous in their desire for just such place to di- rect the transient girl to, when she has been found stranded or about to meet friend" and maybe deceived Unless she is sent to some cheap boarding house. where she has to also meet an element of danger, or to some more dan gerous place. the small hotel there is mo- where for her to go
 Far be 1t from us to advocate the un- dertaking of any work that would be a duplicating of work already done here, but as a suggestion, would it not be DOB. sible for the woman's auxiliary of the Associated Charities to fit up few rooms at their place where such a girl as the one written of may go, not only until she is strong enough, but until she can work and pay rent for. a permanent place to live?
 Can this not also be a place for the travellers aid workers to use when neces- sary for the transient girl or woman stranded here, and in need of a decens place to rest?
 This question should be considered seri. ously by all social workers and maybe we can find way. It is vitally necessary

Over at St. Vincent's hospital young woman is just getting well after a dread full operation. She is only IS years old, beautiful as a flower, and with a whole life of usefulness before her if she is only led into the right path. But. this girl is now known to society as fallen woman.
 About two years ago she went out of the path that has been prescribed for good girls to walk in; for some reason she went wrong, maybe she was under paid and underfed; maybe she was weak and wanted pretty things; maybe she loved What good is it for us to know ? She is now marked as a class society con- demns
 She is prodigal daughter and the world will not count-nance her Even though she should expect sympathy. she has little of it, and has even less chance. These are the worlds of sister of char ity'' in speaking of her Whats the use? They all go back sooner or later"
 And We ask, too What's the use?'' This is the use: This woman, though she were 1eper, is your sister and mine, Though she has walked through the mire, sHe IS none the less one of us she is still human being, with a human heart, human sympathies and human desires; maybe they are still not the best de- sires, but they are there, and the way to make them the best desires is to direct them in the best way to the best ends
 Whats the use," we ask, of trying to do anything for the bad girl? She is lost. No. she is not lost and if she is. it is her sisters fault; we are the strong and through us should be built such social structure that the wage of a woman is sufficient to give her the needs of life and some luxuries; we should be responsible for an economic system that will not make marriage and impossi- bility to the struggling youth, and thus lay up sin at it's door,
 We should have place to house this girl when she is allowed to leave the hos pital. so that her environment will be clean and sweet. and her ideas will flow into new channels. her companions be those that can help her.
 Instead of every door being closed to such a girl, who, please remember, only through some fatal mistake, is not, ac- cording to our social ideal, her sisters equal, we should open our hearts and give her place to go, a good whole some, honey place, not a place ripe witt
