WHAT is AN INJUNcTIoN7

by William II. Ia1t.
What is an injunction? An injunction is
merely an order with reference to the proven
ton of the abuse made before the fact occurs
which is to injure not injure the party.
Where an injury has been done a man brings
suit to recover damages for the injury, but
where the injury is of character recurring
from time to time in small acts for which you
can't recover damages that are adequate, there
equity says that man may have prevention
rather than cure. Then he may go to court and
say:
"This man is going to cut down my tree
That tree won't grow in 20 years. 1t belongs
to me- it is on my place, and he is my tenant
He is going to injure it by wasting that tree"
He goes into court and asks the judge to issue
an injunction to prevent the cutting down of
the tree. Is prevention better than cure in
such case? Why, then, should Judge refuse
to issue the injunction? That kind of remedy
has been in force for 400 years, and is the
most remedial writ that we have. 1t arose to
protect poor men, not to Cypress them. For
instance, the way it this:
man borrowed $500 on his farm. He gave
mortgage which in form was an absolute con-
veyance, subject to being made void by the
payment Of $500, but the farm was worth
$4,000. He failed to pay the $500 the
dot, and in law they brought a suit in eject
ment, and they put the man off the $4,000
farm for $780, He went TO the king, in the
old days, and he said
ssThis is a fine kind of justice that you are
giving me. You allow this man to take my
$4,000 farm for $500" The king said to his
lord keep, who subsequently became the lord
chancellor:
"Here, you take this case and see whether
there is Justice"
The lord keep was then ecclesiast, ana
he sent for the officer who had enforced that
order, or was about to, and he said:
"This is unconstitutional. I am not going
to permit you to do it. I am going to enJom
you, and you have got to come into a court
that am going to create, and will enjon yoa
until you see that the farm should be sold, that
$500 shall be applied the, debt, with in
terest, and that $4,000 shall go to this man who
owns the farm"
That is the way the injunction grew up. 1t
grew up to protect the poor against injuries
for which they could not have adequate remedy
1t law.

DIAMONDS ELucTuATE

eve surely coming fine, people are re-
spending to our call to come early and assess
their property" said Roy Dillon, tax assessor
for Jefferson county. "If they wifi only keep
it up we will avoid the rush during the last
two weeks of December. We have Il clerks In
the office, and each can handle from rs to 100
a day, SO | see no reason why we should not
reach all of the property owners between now
and December 81 if they will assist US by
coming in during October and November.
81 especially want to urge the automobile
owners to assess their car Persons who own
jewelry and other valuable personal property
must assess these things as well as their real
estate. 1t seems that great many people for
get this fact.
"a funny thing occurred the other day
when woman came in to assess her property
she had many valuable diamonds. When
questioned her about these, she replied that
they did not belong to her, and each of the
stones imme diately decreased in value. l had
to laugh at the sudden change"

From the Emporia Gazette.

From the Emporia Gazette.
Behold one Who'll One who brings joy to the
enterprising and profit to the thrifty. One
who has been away on long journey and
now comes back as welcome as the flowers in
spring. One who has had rather a rough, a
perilous passage, but one, who, like the bed
bug of immortal song, gets there just the same.
One who takes up no room in the house while
she is here, but leaves hole bigger than a
blanket when she goes. One who is coaxed
to come back and bedeviled while she is here
Ladies and gentlemen, shake hands with
prosperity. She is here. None other. If you

And say, isn't she a dasy-really?

PROVISION MUST BE MADE
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Any parent who visits Birminghams public
schools these days viii become convinced that
he had better begin to do some serious think
ing about how the needs of his children are
going 10 be cared for. The school authorities
did their best to convince the people Of the
city of their needs at the time of the recent
bond election There was very general appre-
ciation then OF the increased needs, but the
voters were not convinced that the financial
arrangements proposed 10 care for the situa-
ton were sound.
Since they refused DO accept the suggestion
of the school authorities at that time it is their
duty to begin to figure on something better
which can command tho support of the prac-
tical-minded voter. The growth Of the school
attendance has been phenomenal, and the IA
cilities for meeting this growth have simply
not been provided. Birmingham may well
acknowledge this fact and put her mind to
solution Of the pressing problem. Take the mat
ter of high schools, for instance The unit
of the Phillips High school now being built viii
by crowding accommodate 1,20o students. The
normal annual increase IN high school atten-
dance runs aboye 900. In other words, in
about two years the normal Increase in attend
ance would demand another high school unit Of
the size of that now being built in the center
of the city.
The grammar school situation Il even worse.
Schools only recently built have had to have
annsxes erected SO that even passable atten-
Hon could be given to those children wanting

ahead Of everything else. 1t is for this reason
that the thinking men and women Of Birming-
ham should be dsvoting serious thought and
study 10 the public schools After the way
they were treated in the last bond election 1t
ID not surprising that the school authorizes are
somewhat hesitant about repeating and reiter-
sting their needs But they should be given en-
comagement to keep the matter before the pub

ADVICE TO THE LITERARY

Writers of fiction, wherein the negro resi-
dents of the south are touched almost excu-
sivey, should take a few days off and visit
my court room, if they running out of real
live material for stories, declared Judge Henry
J. Martin, presiding magistrate of Birming-
hams police court.
IF l just had the time believe that out of
one days stay on my bench, when colored peo-
pie by the scores are brought before me for
every imaginable offence against the citys
code of laws, from gaming to desertion and
non-support, could find material of the pop
ular light comedy tpye to fill 4o0-page book.
1t would well pay Cobb, Cohen and a few other
short-story notables to pay me visit"

is THE AGE-HERALD READ?

"If there is any doubt in the minds of any

many people who read my story that Mr.. Cayce

ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE TO
GUST NEWBERRY

Senator Robert M. LaFollette, who has q
hold on Wisconsin that is the envy Of his less
fortunate colleagues, is pledged to renew the
fight against Newberry in the Senate. New
berryismv was an issue in his recent cam
paign, when he was renominated by tremen-
dous majority.
LaFollette is no friend to the cold guard"
neither does he play the kind of politics that
resulted in seating Newberry. His honesty
and his independence were largely responsible
for the big vote he polled in Wisconsin. and
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1922-10-12

if he starts out to get the scalp of Senator New
berry the fight in the Senate will be well
worth watching. A Washington dispatch says
LaFollette will introduce resolution calling
for Newberry's expulsion. There will be
number of changes in the Senate by the time
this resolution comes up for consideration
and Senator Newberry may not be saved next
time by the "old guard"
Regardless of what may or may not be
done in the Senate, 'Newberryism' will not
down. 1t is being utilized by democratic
spellbinders to good purpose in showing the
voters particularly glaring example Of dis
creditable politics in the republican party The
lot of Senator Newberry is not an enviable one.
He is heavy liability to his party and the
stigma attached to his name must give him
some unhappy moments on his own account.
Large sums Of money will be spent in seer
ing office, in the future, just as in the past,
but it will be long time before such another
shameless attempt is made to buy q seat in
the United States Senate. The "pitiless pup
lefty by which the Newberry scandal was ex-
posed will deter INSCRIPTIONS politicians from
being as openly corrupt as the Newberry crowd
was in Michigan.

AN OLD SEAPORT

By M. p. Butler.
The sunshine falls on Stonington,
And on the sea
That lies in beauty at its feet
The zephyr's breath is passing sweet;
The ripping waves are touched with light;
They Groom and call mysteriously-
So scintillant, SO softly bright
And tempt the sailor to the sea.
Their sparkling net-a golden fleece
Outspreads in glory from the shore,
To bring dream Of distant peace,
Or draw the wild heart of yore
Upon some far quest evermore,
From which return shall never be;
The vanishing horizon leaves
The seeker still upon the sea.
Yet some come home to Stonington.
The soft September sunshine falls
Upon the tall grass by sea walls,
And on the hillsides where they lie
Who have returned from alien sky
And wandering quest to Stonington.
The locusts drone amid the trees;
And gathering sweets, the honey bses
Rove DER the blooms continuously,
Where lie the sailors from the seas
Who have come back to Stonington.

CHARLES RAY DELIGHTS
AS FARM BOY ACTOR IN
PLAY, THE TRANSFORMER

Delightful entertainment is "The
transformer" Charles Rays lat
est production for First National
release. which was the main at
traction at the "B" theater yester-
day and which is being repeated
today.
Although Rays latest vehicle is
q comedy and upon rather broad
er lines than those he has ap-
peared in for a number of years,
there are some serious and SEN
timental moments which render
the play additionally pleasing.
Nothing more human has ever
been shown than the scenes where
Ray, as Joel. the farmers son,
gets permission to go away with
a travelling stock company. His
unrepressed eagerness; his ner.
vous anticipation and his general
excitability give this scene a
touch of rare naturalness.
In addition, delightful love
scenes take place in particular
quaint settings, especially in the
old-fashioned drug store and in
the druggists home, between Joel
and Emily, who is charmingly
characterized by Charlotte Pierce.
The finish of the story is a sur
prise, one which eliminates in a
romantic little touch which sug,
gests a point etching. 1t is a fit
ing finish to a wholly entertain
ing photoplay, and one which
is up to the Ray standard.
