GRAND JURY HAS NOT RUFFLED BURRUSS
Street Commissioner Pre- pairing Answer With All
 Bark Left Off

In regard to the grand jurys denuncia- ton of the condition of Birmingham's s streets and the management of their ma aintenance, Commissioner Henry Page Burruss of the board of city commits sioners, under whose supervision comes the municipal department of streets, last night said that he was going to answer the grand jury's statement in no uncer- tain terms, and at length.
 "The grand jury has done the depart ment and myself gross injustice" MT. Burruss, said and I owe it to the city and myself not to let such accusations 20 unchallenged. It is a big subject to Birmingham and should be answered in detail.
 within a few days I will have pre- pared a report on the streets in answer to the grand jury, and I'm going to handle the matter with the bark off"
 MT. Burruss seemed in no wise dis turbed by the grand jury's denunciation, and laughed while talking over some phases of the report.

their JOY they wrecked the furniture
and furtively sharpened knives for the
owner of the place. They expressed a
firm desire for your uncle's watch and
his money. Upon the premises was a

Men accustomed to freedom do not
fail that they are privileged to go
about setting fire to buildings. The
right of free speech does not permit
a citizen to blasphcme in the streets
nor does it permit any one to teach
vice or sedition. Gradually we shall
have to realize that the right of free
speech entails obligations upon those
who practice it.
There ought to be a curb ON liars.
1t is liars in the labor movement who
are causing millions of credulous men
to demand what cannot be given them
and liars who are the cause of indus
trial confusion. These liars lie both
Iways-like thieves. They lie about the
president. They lie about the country
claiming always the sacred right of
free speech" The design of the house
your patient uncle built doesn't hap
pen to appeal TO their particular and
peculiar taste. So they want to pull it
down about the heads of the family.
Well, they won't bring down the
house, though they have managed to
raise lot of confusion in it. Your
uncle is learning his lesson. He is
coming to know that there can be too
much of a good thing. The word and
fodorous crew that he sheltered would
actually like to turn him out into the
street in the name of Liberty. 1t is not
strange that he wonders occasionally
whether at least a few of his riotous
guests didn't deserve the lash that less

radicals who are striving furiously to
control labor in the United States
know that six-hour day and a five
day week and 60 per cent increase
in wages are impossibilities in the
soft coal industry. They admit that
their aim is not better wages. So do
the radical leaders of the dock strikers.
They aim frankly to make privately

,, Theirs is the theory that, in prac-

apply it in the United States the

willing to stop the production of coal,
to paralyze railway lines, to put out

It is by lies that industry is being

Editorial in the Philadelphia Pub

Samuel, that gray and revered uncle
of yours, is patient old gentleman
whose mythical faith in humanity has
led him into troubled ways. Into his
house he asked all sorts of people. He
had always been proud of the compan>
ionship of the poor and he flung doors
wide. Stragglers and way farers from
the four corners of the troubled earth
were commanded to be happy, to make
themselves at home, to enjoy liberty of
action and freedom of speech.
Thesplace had cost youx uncle appal-
ling effort. 1t had been established
through heartbreaking sacrifice. The
guests trooped in without wiping
