ssWhen a Girl Loyes"-Biiou

When a Girl Loves at the Biou next week, tells in an interesting manner of the love of young girl for the man whom she has always supposed to be her brother but, who, in reality, is no rela- ton to her. It is not sex play nor a play of the underworld just a story of human hearts, filled with many dramatic situations and abounding with clean. wholesome comedy. The company is headed by Miss Una Carpenter, who made such hit in The Winning of Barbara Worth" During the engagement at the Bijou the usual Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday natinees will be given.

SHOULD NOT CRITICIZE

f It seems to me nothing short of an out rage that with all the time and attention that the police force of the city of Bir- mingham is giving to the protection of the property of such large corporations as the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company and the Woodward Iron com pany and others. that the heads of these corporat tions should so gratuitously abuse these brave officers who every day and night risk their lives in the protection of their properties.
 I want to say further that even though it may remain for me to say it that have lived in Birmingham for nearly 25 years, and I have never seen the police force and it's operations pitched on as high plane both from a standpoint of personnel and methods and efficiency as at the present time, nor have ever seen such universal respect shown for members of the police force as is shown to those who are now employed in that capacity by the city of Birmingham.
 would have these critics remember by way of comparison that the results they are accomplishing, which accord irg to my judgment, are nothing short of wonderful are censummated with a force of only 12o men. covering 50 square miles of territory, while the police force of Att lanta numbers 300 for territory almost exactly one-half as large IS Birmingham.
 note with great interest what Mr. Me- Donald has to say about the junk yards. After careful investigation, I came to the conclusion months ago that the junk business should be. by all means, mu- nicipal monopoly, and expect to ask the next legislature to empower the city of Birmingham to embark in the junk bus- ness and to handle this business exclu- sirely It will not only be a source of great income to the city, but will pract- caly. if not absolutely, eliminate the stealing of valuable fixtures for the pur- pose of selling the same for junk.

IN RACE TO END

'Iowever, 1 presume that it is not necessary for me to state that I will be in the race to the end My friends all know that and they knew it the GaY | announced without any further statement from me. When I made my announcement il was only after ma ture deliberation, and I certainly con- sidered every angle of the situation before offering for the governorship.'
 When asked as to his ideas about the issues in the coming campaign MT, Kilby said: "Of course. it is too early to state with any degree of as surance just what all the issues will be. If there is any attempt made to repeal the present prohibition laws that will probably be one of the dom -ipant uuestions. However, it seems to me that there is absolutely no excuse for trying to change them. They are proving satisfactory and certainly should be given a reasonable and fair trial as they now stand.
 No matter what other questions nay come up, there can be no doubt that the financial problem confronting the state will be one of the most vital is- sues. The state must get on firm financial basis, and it must conduct it's affairs without the present slpshod methods. There can be no financial sta bility as long as the legislature with out knowing what money is coming in and without regard to other needs, ap- propriates the funds largely in the dark.

NEED BUDGET SYSTEM

"The state must adopt a budget sys tenn just like any corporation or sue cessful business concern. A budget must be adopted which takes into considera tion the amount of money which is to come in each year and it must be di- vided for the several purposes with due regard for the needs of all the other claims on the state treasury At pres ent we sometimes appropriate for one thing a sum of money out of all propo- tion to it's importance and then when some really important and worthy mat ter is presented we are forced to cry that we have no money
