GOoDBY, MEDICINE MAN

From the New York Herald
One of those perfunctory reports from
Washington which give an excuse for
employing untold political help but are
largely useless for anything else. sol
emily announces the passing OF the
Indian medicine man."
Well, more's the pity. When he wasn't
making a medicine for his tribe while
braves were on the war path his primi-
tive lifesaving methods were usually eff
flcacious, and the basis of his cures,
sweating over hot stones, inducing per

practitioners. If the medicine mans treat

And as to internal remedies. what the

beyond belief, has been lost sight of and

therefore comes under the supervision
of the public service commission.
When the facts are fully set before
the commission it can hardly refuse to
approve the consolidation of these
railways. Practically ever since us
construction the Tidewater has been
a losing proposition and it's service to
the people of Birmingham has been
seriously impaired because no trans
fers were given and the Tidewater
has been unable to obtain feed lines.
There is no prospect of the railway,
now in the hands of receiver, being
able to put itself on paying basis
not only because of lack Of sub
sidiary lines, but also because OF the
diminishing profits in street railways
in all parts of the country, due to the
large number of automobiles in use
and the "jitney busses" which have
become lively competitors Of street
cars. Eastern capitalists who invested
their money in the Tidewater are be-
coming FESTIVE and are anxious to
sell. The fact that these bonds are
paying nothing on the investment is
to certain extent deterring other
capital from coming to Birmingham
and puts the city in a bad light.

nessee company may not be able to
provide for it's own needs and con-
tinue selling power to the Tdewater,

WOMEN IN ANCIENT GREECE

/ From the New York Telegram.
In Homeric times, as in later Sparta,
it is true, the wife had considerable free
dom and respect; but even Homeric he
roes gave away their daughters and
scores of other women as brides or
prizes, each woman being reckoned. az

JUDGE WAS TOO HAsTY

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
A negro woman was fined IS for disor-

When the fine was fixed the woman re-
marked: That old man makes me tired"
Whats that?" shouted the court;
makes you tired. does he? Woman, you
never have been tired. but you certainly
are going to be-" and he sentenced her
to one year of hard labor. The Richmond
journal denounces the sentence as out
rageous, preposterous, and the like say
ing: Russian autocracy could have done
no worse" That's true; we. too, think
the sentence should be annulled. At the
same time we imagine 1t is extremely
painful and humiliating to be designated
