POOR BOYS WHO
 BECAME FAMOUS Rv Frederick Houk Law
Henry Broadhurst

The members of the British par liament went back and forth from the place of meeting about 1870 and did not notice the ordinary workmen who were busily en- gagged in putting up the walls for a new house of parliament. The workmen, likewise, paid little att tention to the dignified men who went past. Among these work men was one who was employed on the walls, 8 strong, intelligent looking man, but a man covered with lime and dirt, with calloused hands and bronzed face. He was about thirty years old, and he had been a worker in stone and mortar from the time that he was small boy. His father before him had worked in stone, and so Henry Broadiurst had every expectation of continuing life as humble workman. He had no learning beyond the simple, elementary education given by the lower schools. As he stood up from his work and strengthened his back he drew a long breath and looked pensively at the people passing.
 Now it never occurred to that man, Henry Broadhurst, pausing there in his hard and humble work, that he was to be one of the leaders in the very building on whose walls he was at work. It would have made him laugh derisively if some prophet had told him that he was to be an honored member of parliament, a councillor on great questions of state, a member of important com mittees, and the author of an ln- spring book. Yet, all this came to pass. All that any man has to do in order to become great is to do the best he can in ordinary daily life.
 Trouble arose between the workmen and the employers. Henry Broadhurst had shown him self intelligent and honest. His fellow workers recognized his ability and his character. They asked him to represent them In the strike that occurred. He rep resented them so well that ssmc time later the working people ap- pointed him to represent them in a higher position. He continued to do well, and by the time he was forty he had been elected a mem Der of parliament. He acted hon. estly, boldly, conscientiously, and won respect. From that time un- til his death in 1911, at the age of seventy-one, he was a public figure. serving in many capacities, and always serving well. In his later days he wrote down in book form the story of his rise from a laborer to high position, hoping thereby to aid others to lead lives of usefulness.

widely admitted among American stu dents of economic conditions that there need be expected little relief for the basic industry of this country-ag- riculture-until the way is paved for disposing of surplus farm products in foreign markets, and that there will be no such markets until America helps Europe to get on her feet.
 That Germany is bankrupt is mat ter of opinion. Shines and other in- dustrial magnates, who are trying to get control of Germany apparently do not believe so. It is Senator Cousens' beer plank, however, that causes many folks to believe that he is talking to his constituents, rather than to the rest of the country, when he advo- cates letting down the bars. Most observant people will regard his state ment along these lines as political froth, and that is just about the size of it,

CREDITABLE POLICE RECORD

The annual report of the Birming- ham police department shows that 28,209 arrests were made during the year ending September 30, and of this number approximately one-third, rr 3,803, were for violation of the traffic laws. Of these 7,574 were convicted in the recorders court. It is an anom- alous condition when practically every man who drives an automobile believes in traffic laws and their enforcement, and is continually pointing out viola tions of the regulations on the part of other drivers. Yet an average of twenty-two drivers per day were ar rested throughout the year in Bir- ningham for taking chances with the law. Violators cannot claim that their arrests were unwarranted, since con- victions were secured in eighty-five per cent. of the cases. Observance of these laws would seem to be largely a matter of education and conscience. The laws were made not only for the protection of pedestrians, but for the Safety and convenience of drivers as well.
 The annual police report is en- couraging, not because of the large number of arrests, but from the high percentage of convictions secured. It suggests that the police are not in- clined to make arrests lightly, but that the officers gather evidence which convinces the recorder of the grounds 6ss such action. Out of 28,209 ar- rests for all causes the convictions numbered 23,492. While this means that seventy-nine arrests were made per day throughout the year, it is prob ably not excessive for city of this size, and would make a creditable showing if the 8,803 traffic violations were eliminated.
 The report shows 2,978 arrests for violations of the liquor laws. Tais may seem a somewhat large figure, but it suggests the alertness of the depart ment. An average of eight arrests per day in a city of over 100000 peo- pie for violations of the prohibition laws would seem to indicate that these laws are being comparatively we'll ob- served.

KEEPING UP WITH THE STYLE

Senator Cousens of Michigan is one of the numerous American statesmen who has returned from Europe and released interviews about the situa- tion abroad and what is needed to re- establish normal conditions in this country. The public has been fed up on varied assortment of opinions on this subject ever since it became fash ionable for United States senators to hurry through the Old World, find out what is the matter, and make local application. Senator Cousens is no exception to the rule. He did not even wait to arrive in Europe before expressing his opinions as to what is needed.
 The other day he stepped off the ship in New York and soon had a gathering of reporters about him. He had figured it all out to his own satis- faction, and there was no doubt about it. Among other things he declared that Germany should have a receiver ship just like any private business gone broke; that there should be more sympathetic interest by America in European affairs, and that there should be modification of the Vol. stead act to allow the manufacture and safe of beer containing at least five per cent. of alcohol. These recom- mendations were not intended to be of special service to Europe, but in- directly to America.
 There is nothing new in the pro- posal for a more definite American foreign policy. Most of the people of intelligence in this country agree to that, despite the efforts of few irreconcilables who believe in the strict application of isolation. It is

\ Word of Thanks

To the Editor of The Age Herald;
 Permit me to thank you for your excellent editorials on the county three-mill district tax for schools. So far the sentiment seems.to be in favor of voting the continuation of this tax for the purposes outlined. The revenue board has decided that November 20 would be better than November 15 for the election. The people will not vote upon the matter of changing the districts as, accord ing to law, that is within the du- ties of the board of education. All building equipment will come out of these funds. Should a bal ance be left over it may be ap- piled to transportation or "other school purposes" You are correct in saying that it will not be ap- piled to operating expenses. I ap- preciate the excellent stand al- ways taken by The Age-Herald on school matters.

presents a serious situation since tEe failure of the governor to sign the bill creating another judge to handle these cases exclusively. It is under stood that the governors advisers doubted the constitutionality of the bill because of the provision that the salary of the new judge was to be paid by the city of Birmingham, and not by the state. At any rate, the city is in a position where enforce ment of the criminal laws becomes more difficult. When there are con- victions in the recorders court large percentage are appealed. There are probably some two thousand now pend ing. Parties convicted most frequently take appeals with the idea that their cases will not be reached for a year or more and that by that time the witnesses will be gone and the facts forgotten. An appeal under such cir cumstances virtually means the end of the case so far as the defendant is NODSSIUGQs
 MT. Wynn gives as his opinion that seventy-five or eighty per cent. of all appeals are taken to secure delay. He believes that if the dockets were cleared and the defendants realized that trials in the circuit court would result in prompt and certain punish ment, there would be better law ob- servance and fewer arrests. Hence he takes the position that if special efforts are made to clear the old dockets, appealed cases can be handled in half the time now devoted to them. There is reason to believe that the sit- uation would be perceptibly improved if MT. Wynn's recommendations were carried. out as far as circumstances will permit.

LET THERE BE LIGHT

If recommendations of the outgoing grand jury made in it's final report of October are carried out by the Oc- tober Jefferson county grand jury, the investigation of alleged cruelty to state convicts at Banner mine will be pushed to the end that the conditions may be laid before the public, and proper action taken for trial of any who may be indicted on information obtained from further inquiry. Solici tor Davis has indicated his purpose to pursue the inquiry until the facts are brought out, despite efforts by Gov ernor Brandon and his advisers to prevent the public from knowing the facts bearing upon the mutiny, the punishment administered, and condi- tions generally at the convict camp.
 When the outgoing grand jury made it's report based upon such informa- tion as could be gathered under un- favorable circumstances and despite resistance through legal channels and otherwise to block the investigation. the public mind was filled with sus- picion. Such extracts as this increased the suspicion that things were being run at Banner mine and in other con- vict lease camps regardless of the hu- manities or of the best interests of the state: "'Those interested in the concealment of the truth have been so full of nimble strategem that they have controlled affairs against the de- mand of legally constituted authority with apparently as much ease as a skipper would sail the wind"
 What the public demands to know is what is going on behind the prison bars at Banner mine and at other con- vict camps. There is a widespread belief that the system under which the states wards are hired at low wages to selfish interests who drive the unfortunates to the limits of their endurance and subject them to in- humane and cruel conditions, carries. and will always carry, brutality in more or less shocking form, and that 1t results, and will always result, in financial burdens to the state by bringing it into odium in the eyes of the people of the nation, while in- flicting injury upon Alabama through baneful influences upon the people at home. Where special efforts are made to keep conditions in convict camps operating under the lease system from the public knowledge, there will be more suspicion and stronger belief in the existence of unworthy motives and indefensible official acts in connec- ton with the conduct of the system. Let there be light; it is as life-giving as food and water.

TO COLLECT THE BONDS

Get Your Man." is the order issued by the department of public safety to the police to arrest bond defaulters and have them face the court. On the municipal file there are some four hundred defaulted bonds. These rep resent uncollected funds of some twenty thousand dollars. They aver age about fifty dollars. After un- successful efforts to make these bonds good, the city has determined to get the money; hence the orders. It is believed that few of those whose names appear on the bonds, whether they represent themselves or whether the alleged offenders are vouched for by others, will undertake to escape by skipping out, because of the size of the bonds and the further fact that many of those against whom charges are standing represent traffic ordi- nance violations.
 There has developed custom in this city to look lightly upon bond obliga-
 
 the city is bearing the burden from a large aggregate indebtedness, and the public welfare suffers in two ways loss of legitimate revenue and more looseness in law observance. When it becomes known that offenders can go free indefinitely through failure on the parto the city to hold bondsmen strictlyr esponsible, the temptation to violate or evade the law is increased.
 By holding bondsmen strictly ac- countable there will be better ob- servance of the law, while the city will not have to suffer from loss of revenue from this source. The muni- cipal resources are comparatively small, to commence with, and the problem of living within the available revenue becomes more and more acute with the growth of the city. Already there is a deficit of some- thing like seventy thousand dollars hanging over from last year, and there are increased demands for improve ment in every municipal department. Under these conditions there should be no laxity in the collection of every dollar that is due the municipal treas ury. All of these bonds should, be collected without unnecessary delay. Iti business proposition as well as one involving sound public policy.
