It will be agreed by many peo- pie that the most interesting relic in the environs of the national capital is the key to the ancient Bastile which Lagayette sent to Washington and which is sus- pended, in kind of grim majesty, in the hallway of Mt. Vernon.
 One observing can visualize the famous old French prison, hear the ponderous door grind on its rusting hinges, and see passing from daylight into eternal dark ness the thousands of unfortu- mates born for torture.
 The old key, foot long. has all ways possessed power to fascinate and charm those who are fond of authentic story. Could it talk! Could it tell the tragic tales which it knowsi

Want No More. Taxation

 Income and inheritance tax will be as objectionable and just ss obnoxious as was the millage tax. The property owners of Alabama are just opposed to any more tax ation, and whenever they have an opportunity they will let it be known at the ballot box. The cutting to .the bone" policy should begin right now. The econ omy and retrenchment. of which so much was heard during the campaign, is now in order.

Opposed to Extra Session

 "a The people of Alabama, especial ly the tax-paying people, will not take kindly to the suggestion that an extra session of the legislature be called to provide finances which the present legislature has failed to provide. There would be fear among the people generally that, as the present session has proven complete failure in de- vising financial relief for the ad ministration, the present legisla- tors could hardly be expected to do better in an extra session.

 As in the long ago,
 That I might feel schoolboy's pain And revel in his woe. The school, when was but lad, was well supplied with room. They never drove me from the door in accents fraught with gloom. In fact, a truant officer was always on the scene To urge my slow and feeble steps athwart the village green. would that were young again,
 Outside the door to languish, And feel modern schoolboy's pain And revel in his anguish.

IL hHOWS.
 But it is possible that in the fu- ture the Bastile key will lose it's prestige as the most interesting relic in this section of the coun- try.
 Some days ago in this space was printed a brief reference to the Washington Cathedral which js rising from lofty Mount St. AL bans. and which is destined to be one of the four wonder cathedrals of the world.
 Stone for the high altar was brought from Jerusalem. It was taken from the quarries of King Solomon, and the very ledge Of rock in which the sepulchre of Christ was hewn.
 When the cathedral is completed. five years hence, there Is no ques- ton but that every visitor to Washington will want to kneel before that altar which, according to Biblical history, must be re- garded as the most sacred on this hemisphere.
 Stone was brought from the River Jordan for the Jordan front, and the Jordan front is large enough to permit of baptism by immersion.
 It was in the River Jordan that Christ was baptised, 1t is related.
 The bishops seat was con structed of stones taken from the ancient British abbey of |, Saints Peter and Paul, from which also was derived the official name of this American cathedral.
 contributed a pulpit, beautiful work in marble, known as the Canterbury Ambon, in memory of Stephen Langton, the archbishop who led the barons when Magma Charta was wrung from King John at Runnymede. The history of the church of England and America, and notably the long Anglo-Saxon struggle for political and religious liberty will be symbolized in much of the interior work.
 There will be ample room for individual memorials and to na- tional figures and noted church people, and also for depositing the remains of distinguished persons. It is expected that thus the ca- thedral will assume the meaning that Westminster Abbey has for the British. A Gilbert Stuart DOT trait of George Washington, .do- mated by John Jay Chapman. au- thor. will be the first portrait hung. Several memorials to indi- viduals have already been planned, including one in honor of Major Archie Butt. victim of the Titan tic disaster.
 The Washington cathedral. be- yond all peradventure, will be one of If not the most interesting places in this section of the coun- try; and It's relics will probably supplant all others, including .he Bastile key, in the favor of the public.
