TIME.
Time. Who is Time, that men should
call him old
And write his name in burrows on
the brow?
A wrinkled sage, whose trembling
fingers hold
The span Of years from yesterday
to now? I'll.
There was a day | counted all men
said
OF Time as truth. and reasoned
earnestly:
He is most old, most wise, within
whose head
Is locked the. secret of our destiny "
And then You came! There was
breathless space
When Time was not and when we
locked again,
There was Young Laughter in a windy
place,
And poppies Haunting crimson joy!
Since when
| scott at all of Time that has been
told.
Time! Who is Time, that men should
call him old.

DANGER IN SECOND
 AMENDMENT, SAYS
 MRS. O. R. HUNIl!LEY
Replies to Democratic Com ments and Maintains Issue Involved Is No Longer a
 Party Matter

To The Editor of The Age Herald:
 I am 10th to speak again upon the suffrage amendment, which is to be vot- cd upon on February 8, but since a few who oppose it have styled opposition to it's adoption, republican trickery," and n republican wedge to enter Alabama I should like to say that while the measure was pending in the legislature, it may properly have had some ele- ments of political question, but now that it is to be submitted to the people. it is a thing in which all citizens are interested, regardless of their party af> fiiiations because it concerns the highest privilege of an American citizen-the right ito vote" The fact that the county democratic registrar and members of the democratic state executive copmittee are opposing this amendment refutes the charge of party politics. especially when neither the democratic nor the republi- can parties have made the ratification of the amendment party matter.
 MT. Borden Burr's construction of the amendment is that it is merely a clearer defining of the registrars powers and that he is given discretion just as in the past. On the other hand, the amendment plainly leaves the right of the citizen ito vote" to the pleasure of the election off,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-02-05

ficer. Obviously the qualifications of voters have been previously fixed by the registrars as is the case under the con- stitution now. Is this not sufficient Why confer upon the election officers the power to review the findings of the registrar? If the election officer may discriminate when the citizen offers hinl- self to vote, why should we have a reg istrar with the same power and duty? :? The rcgistrar's duties have ended at the time of election. and the election officers are the only ones authorized to act in holding the election.
 Mir. Bondurant refers to criticism of the words, ito vote" and says that the present law which is covered by Article 8. Section 17S, uses the same language as the proposed amendment. Now I am not lawyer, but in my work for wom- an suffrage I have studied the suffrage question. and I can read the constitution. Article 8, Section IFS, of the constitution plainly says who shall be permitted to vote, and one of those conditions Is that he shall. be registered. The proposed amendment will confer the power to ex- clude registered citizens from voting un- less they meet the qualifications required by the elction officrs. although they be registerd. The present law has met the question with regard to the exclusion of the vicious element among the males" since 1901. Why is it not enough for the same element among the opposite sex?
 Senator Teasley states that the pro- posed amendment merely goes back to Article 8, Section 180 and 1S1 of the con- stitution and gives to the electorate the same kind of protection which was con- tained in the constitution of 1901. Any- one who will take the time to read thnt constitution will see that the words Ito vote' are not coupled with the right to register as it is in the proposed amend- ment
 submit that this is not a democratic question, it is not republican question: in the sense of party It is a question, however, in which our franchise is in volved, and it behooves us to think se- riously and study the question, before we vote.

TICK ERADICATION APPROPRIATION IS
 COMPULSORY TATE
County Solicitor Tells Revenue Board $31,000 Called for Must Be Forthcoming,
 and Body So Acts

An appropriation of $31,000 was authorized by the Jeffer- son county board of revenue yesterday for the eradication of cattle ticks during 1921 in the Bessemer cutoff of Jeffer- son county. This section is still under federal control be- cause of ticks.
 This action was taken by the board following the reading of an opinion from Solicitor Joseph R. z Tate, which had been requested by the board. He held that under the Alabama statutes, passed in 1919, regarding tick eradication work, the matter is not one of discretion with boards of revenue, but is mandatory and that they are re- quired to accede to the requests of the tick eradication officer for an appropriation.
 It was pointed out that. under the law, members of board of revenue or board of county com missioners who refuse to make the appropriation as requested are guilty ot misdemeanor and sub ject to fine for their failure to make the requested appropriation.
 At meeting of the board last week request of representatives of the United States bureau of animal Industry for the appropria- tion was read, but a resolution was adopted by the board refusing to accede to the request of the federal authorities. This action was rescinded yesterday follow ing the receipt of the opinion of MT. Tate and the appropriation al- lowed.
 When made, this appropriation will be used for the maintenance of dipping vats, chemicals for dipping purposes, salaries of in- spectors and line riders and other purposes incident to carrying on the tick eradication work, it is stated
