 Captain Donlan took charge of the Ensley police department when Ensley went into Greater Birmingham, and has held that position ever since. Dur ing that time he has handled every sit uation that has come before him with great credit to his department and all ways with the approval of his su- perior officers and citizens of this district. While he would not state the cause of his resignation, it is stated that he asked for an increase in salary, which the city commissioners could not see their way to Erant. When the subject was taken up by the citizens of Ensley they all agreed he was due a raise, and so stated to the commits sioners.

A Resurrection?
(BO StOn POStl

Shall we have a new kingdom of
Poland as an outcome Of the present
strangling conflict of powers on the
eastern continet?
The reported concurrence in this
revival Of the historic aspiration of a
brave people is declared from Berlin.
The Kaiser will consent, with the ap-
prevail Of his subservient parliament
and that of Austria, to letting go his
supreme authority over the control Of
his Polish possessions, with the eX-
pectation that other claims will be
relinquished and the people be set UP
as an autonomy
The establishment of a Polish state
would be the resurrectio of a ma
tionallty so long eXtinguished as to
have become traditional. The 'parti-
ton Of Poland'' is a matter of history
to the people Of today. In this work
of the greedy powers of Europe, Rus
STA took the lead. She got the biggest
slice, and the Poland of tradition
went to pieces; the present generation
knows nothing Of that people as an
entity; Russia has held it down;
Prussia now has taken severe steps to
assimilate the population within its
recognized control.
KosciuskO we remember hlstori-
cally; he is one Of our heroes of
alien independence more than a CEN
fury ago; Napoleon came along later
for his side, as against Russia. And
so it went along, with internal upris-
ings and international antagonisms.
What now is to happen? Will the
proposition of Germany be accepted
Is it made in good faith? Are we to
see a resurrection of the independent
KINGDOM of Poland?

The AristOcrat of Microbes.
New York WOrld.)

The discovery that rheumatism and
govt are germ diseases adds a radi-
cal new theory to medical practice
and a new and most distinguished
member to the microbe family. The
discovery is credited to the late DR..
John B. Murphy experimental with
500 cases and successfully identified
and isolated the germ.
So away with liniments and lotions;
they have served their turn. The
medical world henceforth must deal
with the govt term, the latest among
pernicious organisms and certain to
receive the warm welcome the pro-
fession accords to all new arrivals of
bacilli.
Certainly the govt germ deserves
first rank among his kind. He Is the
arlstocrat of microbes, the highest liv-
er Of them all, the prize epicure of
germ life. He dined on ortolans and
drank Falern1an with Lucullus,
quaffed sack with F'alstaff, swallowed
bumpers of port with the coming of
the spacious days, imbibed Madeira
with the fathers Of the Republic and
subsists now on lobster and cham
payne. He has been the most pam
pered of microbes, the familiar and
intimate of the worlds first families
from the beginning Of time. Most
other germs have been of low decree
with a humble dietary, but the govt
bacillus has ever beer a dainty feed
er and much given to luxury, a germ
with a pedigree. Surely to discover
| him after all these years and to drag
him from his time-honored refuge in
mans anatomy into the light of med
ical scrutiny is a triumph Of surgical
| research.

1t ought not to be possible to ap-
peal in such case. This question OF
manslaughter has assumed such pro-
portions that 1t can no longer permit
of ifs and ands. There are laws to
deal with it and if these laws were
enforced absolutely there would be
lmediately a falling off In kind
Of crime which it too prevalent to
any longer be tolerated.. If this kind
of killing is to be abolished there
must be no sidestepping in enforcing
the law. If court officials would do
their whole duty such ragedies as
have become frequent occurrences
would be unusual happenings.
