of punishment there is no doubt that
 he will be adhering to more funda-
 mental principle than either the presi-
 dent or the judge. That places the
 court in light from which court ac- tion should always protect court.
 Attorney General Daugherty, in his re-
 port to the president, speaks as If
 Craig were guilty, which is also hardly
 compatible with the judicial role the attorney general plays when acting in the capacity of adviser to the presi- dent. The whole affair has served to exculpate in the public mind the con- troller from even whatever offense might otherwise have justly been charged and prosecuted against him. If the courts are deprived of the au- thority to exercise summary authority in real contempt cases, the courts can blame that result only upon their own abuse of very questionable privilege.

t-------------- DR. THOMAS D. PARKE

D1. Thomas D. Parke, who died yes terday, was not only skillful and successful physician, but a citizen of worth to the states public interests. Dr. Parke was essentially student, and did much to advance the medical science in this state not only in its direct application to human suffer ing, but in it's relation to the public Service and it's bearing upon the pub lie welfare. He was a strong and ac- tive opponent in speech and in the printed word of what is known as the "Medical Trust in Alabama. He es- peciaily opposed the law-making and appointment functions vested in those not directly responsible to the people, that is, the county and state medical Societies. Through his activities and Influence for years, and especially during the Kilby administration, this system, the constitutionality of which is doubtful, was held from receiving still more plenary powers. Dr. Parke's work in that direction constitutes d valued contribution to democratic gov ernment in it's practical application to the peoples rights and interests.

SMOKE NUISANCE IS COSTLY

Discussion of "Combustion and Smoke Abatement" at the recent an nual meeting in Birmingham of the Alabama section of the American Chemical Society revived interest in the remedy of condition which cre- ates physical and financial hardship for every resident of this community. Speakers at the meeting suggested that science has not yet definitely de- cided the effects of smoke and coal dust on the public health. Fine par ticles of coal dust in dense clouds of smoke that hang over Birmingham are known to be irritating to mucous mem branes. There is no doubt Of the injury to eyes and throat. An emi- nent specialist visiting Birmingham years ago expressed no surprise that so large percentage. of the people of this city wore glasses, and that there was so much throat trouble here. He wondered that conditions in that re- spect were not worse, when he noted the prevalence of smoke and coal dust.
 While effects of smoke on tubercu- losis, bronchitis, tonsilitis and other throat and pulmonary troubles does not appear to have been definitely established by science, there is ground for the belief that these ailments are aggravated, if not originated, from that source. If it be demonstrated that health is impaired by smoke, it's elimination on behalf of the public health would be the logical step under sanitary regulation. That smoke ad- versely affects mans comfort is gen. erally agreed, and comfort is very closely associated with health.
 Two important economic aspects of the situation are worthy of consider ! ation by public authorities and private interests. Aside from the engineering and city-beautiful values of clean city, the losses in every phase of com mercial and domestic life are large and constantly increasing. Birming- ham merchants are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars annually from smoke damage to theG stocks. Bir- mingham housekeepers are subjected to no less losses from the effects of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-12-05

smoke and coal dust upon household properties. Every man, woman and child pays tribute to the smoke nui- sance through injury to wearing ap- parel. Laundry costs are large item of expense. Smoke is a universal tax from which here are few scapes.
 Another tremendous waste, the largest of all, is carried by industrial enterprises from failure to provide proper combustion. Millions of dol lars are annually wasted in this dis trict from that fault, and from neg lected by-product opportunities. Ac- cording to the December number of Hearst's Magazine, Henry Ford pays five dollars a ton for coal, including freight charges. That ton of coal in four minutes is converted into by products which are sold at $13.56, af- fording a saving of $8.56, daily net profit of $64,000, and an annual saw ing in three hundred days of $19,200,- 900. This gives an idea of what could pe oaNCu Dy ChO AiiuuSeilSS ol DiIH IHilAS- ham, while eliminating the heavy losses to mercantile interests and house. keepers, not to speak of the many other possible economies from rid dance of the smoke evil. Birmingham will continue to suffer physically and financially as long as she fails to turn source of annoyance into a source of wealth

cRAIc's SENTENCE REMITTED

In giving an order .remitting the punishment of Controller Charles Craig of New York without pardoning the offence, it appears that the presi- dent has descended to species of auibbling which is TO credit to his per formance. Either Controller Craig
 k guilty or not guilty of an offense Against law and order. If he is guilty, he should be punished. If he is not kuilty, he should be freed completely fom the allegation and the aspersion. It appears, however, that in no event was the case one for summary Jurisdiction and settlement by Judge Mayors court. The case is clearly not Dne of contempt, for there was no Effort or intent to obstruct the court or the administration of the law or Justice. If there were allegations made against Judge Mayer which are actionable, certainly the case should be tried in the regular manner, and not summarily. Judge Mayer, &C., cording to precedent and procedure, would be disqualified from sitting in the case, for he could not logically be both judge and complainant.
 If MT. Craig refuses the remission
