torate or part of the electorate,
when the original intent of the
founders Of the Republic was that
they should not be subject TO every
blowing political wind and every pass
ing political breeze.
Now comes n great uphcayai, where
the inherent rights of tho citizen are
Jcopardized by the indiscriminatc as
sault upon the guilty and the inno-
cent. The scum Of Europe that has
been fondled and petted and lionized
under our american institutions,
while the brother IN black has been
ostraciseG and Inundated now turns
upon the hand that fed upon the shell
tering arm that protected, while the
loyal white people or the nation look
to the colored people for support in
the hour Of their dire distress. They
will not be disappointed.
7 In the meantime, we shall watch
with interest tho result of this cru

ment. 1t is far more sensible to keep
this class Of people out than It Is TO
put this class OF people out after they
have been admitted. The Wholesale
punishment Of white people for poll
tical crimes is bound to react upon
the officials practicins it. It is true
that desperate diseases may require
desperate remedies. Still, there is
such q thing as carrying a campaign
too far.
Common sense and common justice
are needed at tho fountain head of
the nation. The recognition Of the
loyalty and sublime sacrifice for the
Government on the part OF the
brother an black" will be a start in
the right direction. The Soviet Ark
the vessel on which the anarchists
have been transported to Russia
shows that these lawress people were
treated with the greatest considerat
ion. Time WIFI tell and at last the
divine principles will be recognized
and truth and justice will have its
sway I'm high places where at present
both seem to be stranger.

Al QUESTION OF FINANCE.

mand an accounting ON the part Of

The attempt to reflect upon tho
management and to allege that some
ono has been dishonest simply be-
cause the sum of two thousand dol
lars was collected seems to us to be
ridiculous. If the amount had been
two hundred thousand dollars, then
some effort might or should be made
to secure an accounting. Two thous.

Dr.. Jernigan himself for the timo,

CRITiCiSiNG THE PRESIDENT.

tNiIlClSlNG THE PRESIDENT.
Under the Espionage Law and tho
restrictive way conditions we we're
under the impression that the Presi
dent Of the United States was above
criticism and TO speak plainly about
any OF his official acts would result
in Immediate prosecution by the De-
partment of (in) Justice. Evidently
either peace has been declared or the
war Is at an end and the restrictive
laws once SO numerically used
against outspoken citizens have gone
into discard. These thoughts came to
us as we read most caustic review
OF some of President Wilson's acts
by that remarkably edited newspaper
the New York Sun. In It's issue Of
the 31Gt ult.. It says:
In negotiating the peace treaty
he tried to jam down the throats of
the people OF America, Woodrow vii
son displayed an amazing capacity
for compromise in his deal ngs with
every nation In the world except the
United Sta'ts and Italy.
He compromised with England on
the freedom OF the seas by throwing
that principle OF his world peace out
OF the window.
He comrr omised with Japan by tho
elf-determination OF nations by agree
Ing to Japanese domination of the
Chinese province OF Santung
He compromised with England
again on INSTRUMENTATION of nat
ions by recognizing Great Brituin's
wartime proclaimed protectorate over
Egypt.
He compromised the principle
sf open covenants. openly arrived n,
with about everybody no met in Par
is. He was willing to compromise
with the Bolsheviki and invited them
to confer to that end.
But with the Italians he would not
over Fiume and with
the American people he refused to
compromise over anything.
Why Mr.. Wilson is willing to com
promise with everybody except Ital-
ians and Americans and on all sub
jects except those OF interest to Ital
ians and to Americans Is one Of my
steries of his personally conducted
craftsmanship. Some day we may be
,fTo ~
1t Is irrelevant to observe
that the Italians are supreme I'm
Fiume where MIR. wilson said they
should no. go, and the American PEG
pie arc supreme in the Senate OF the
United States, whore Mr.. Wilson
sought to be supreme himself.
For a sick man to have ,,is policies
analysed in such manner, even by a
political enemy Is to make him sick
er than he was before. We would like
very much to publish defense Of
President Wilson's policies in reply
to this mercilessly caustic criticism,
which seems to bear the ear-marks OF
the truth. ruthlessly applied. Presi--
dent Wilson has had a remarkable
career and has proven himself to be
the one central figure in American poll
cies and performances. In the lime
light OF these disclosures, how could
he be reelected or how :auid a can
didate representing In toto his policies
. and doctrines be elected? Perhaps

RELIEF FROM CAR
 SHORTAGE IN SIGHT
Car Shortage a Controlling Factor in Decreased Out
 put of Alabama Coal

Relief from the present car short- age as it affects the coal situation is predicted by s. l.. Yerkes of the Grider Sales Agency. as a result of the return of the railroads to their private own CTS.
 The car shortage has curtailed pro- duction in the Birmingham district the past two or three months, and in- stead of getting better is doing the reverse. MT. Yarkes has prepared a statement. after communicating with officials at Washington, in which he clears up some of the misund erstand- ings that followed the publication Of President Wilson's order, February 2S. He says:
 Newspaper dispatches from Wash ington relative to continued control of the distribution of coal by the rail- road administration are not entirely clear, and for the purpose of clearing the situation in the minds of the coal operators and the consuming public, the following is what has been done by the direction of the President:
 Under date of February 2S. Presi- dent Wilson issued executive order in which he quotes the Lever act as his authority, continuing in effect certain powers conferred upon the director general of railroads and his represent tatives relative to delivery. use, con sumption. distribution and apportion ment of coal on and after 12:01 a. m., March 1, 1920, except that the powers previously bestowed upon the director general of railroads with reference to the permits for export coal and the distribution of coal consigned to tide- water for coastwise movement is con- ferred upon the tiwedater~ coal ex- change, which exchange is re-estab- lished by President Wilson's execu-
 tive order of February 2S.
 "The re-establishment of the tide water coal exchange does not affect the movement of Alabama coal to tidewater. as the tidewater coal ex- change only operates at Hampton Roads. Baltimore. Philadelphia and New York. but it will still be neces-

UNIVERSITY

University, March 2.--( Especial. )-Of- ficial announcement was made today by Dean A. J. Farrah that the law school of the University of Alabama will be heightened from two to three-year course beginning with the next collegiate year in September, 1920. It has been known for some time that this change was contemplated. The
 Alabama Bar Association and Dean
 Tarrah have advocated a longer course
 in law for the past few years.
 When the three-year course becomes effective the faculty will be increased to five teachers. who will devote their entire time to the work of teaching. In September. 1920, an extended pro gramme will be initiated by which the library of the school will be strength ened. The three years curriculum will permit two courses in property, two in equity. an expansion of the work in | trusts and constitutional law, new | courses in brief-making and the use | of law books. federal procedure. mort gages conflict of law and administra- 1 tion law. as
 | With the opening of the three-year law degree and the acquiring of an | adequate library. a suitable home will | be lacking. The law department now occupies the third floor of Morgan hall, which was erected primarily as a class | room in arts and sciences.s It is | thought that the bar of Alabama and 1 the alumni of the institution will pre- | vail upon the next legislature to pro vide an adequate appropriation for 9
