More As To Value OF Voting.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
A few days ago there was printed in your
columns letter from a reader at Decatur
touching on the absurd and foolish agitation
being fostered in certain quarters, To "Get
Out the Vote in November" In his letter
he took the view that voting does not accom-
plish anything, as the officers after being
elected do not carry out their promises, etc.
In today's copy of your paper, / note that
tag day is to be held on November 3, to
label citizens with the slogan, BE Sure to
Vote" What fort What has it meant here
in our own Alabama when men took the
trouble to vote for certain candidates, be-
lieving that they would carry out the policies
that they eSpoused on the stump! Take the
Democratic primary in this state in 1914 as
an example. After a fair fight and by ma
jority in each case, decisive in its figures, To-
cal option candidates were nominated and
elected, yet the legislature elected on the
same day,withOut an issue, assembled at the
capitol, and at the behest of clique well or
ganized repealed the existing local option
laws and gave AS prohibition. What was the
use of voting?' Did the people have right
to vote on the adoption of the Eighteenth
amendment in any state? Would these same
organizations that are making such cry,
Get out the Vote" be so solicitous and busy
advocating same, if the issue before the state
was a modification of the existing VOlstead
law? And little more personal hbertyI Not
much would they. In such matters, they take
the position that the people do not know how
to vote for their best interests and therefore
the vote is denied. No Democrat will be
elected president, until the party comes out
for the modification of the infamous Volstead
act as it is attested by the platform of every
Democratic convention held in the eastern
states of New York, Connecticut, New Jer-

"GLORIFICA7ION OF TECHNICALITY'

The address of Chancellor Hadley of WASH
ington University before the Michigan Bar
Association was an able and Illuminating dis
cussion of the defects in the legal structure
of this country. He took issue with state
ment of Attorney General Harlan f. Stone
that the form and substance Of our legal
structure have been steadily improving for
a generation" pointing to many unmistaka-
BILE evidences of a general decline in the adj
ministration of justice in the United States.
And he declared that particularly has the
criminal law Of this country developed along
lines that have greatly impaired its effective
ness in the protection Of life and property and
in the preservation of public order" q
This declining effectiveness Of criminal
law is a matter whose gravity transcends that
Of other failures Of the law, and one that has
been the subject of frequnet comment by the
Globe Democrat. What is responsible for it?
Most of the changes in our criminal proceed
ure," says Chancellor Hadley, "have resulted
in increased opportunities for the guilty to
escape rather than in an increased ability
for society to punish its enemies" He dis
cusses in detail several causes, among them
the completely Of judicial decisions and the

through a direct attack by one of the con-
tending armies. Reprisal, however, would
come so surely and speedily that it may be
assumed neither of the Chinese leaders will
take the risk. Provided the conflict can be-
localized, an end of hostilities may be ex-
pected through some bargain between the
rival contenders for look-in at Shanghai's
customs receipts.
The danger, for both China and foreign
interests, win become real if there is con-
firmation of the rumor that behind the two
provincial satraps loom up the bigger figures
of Chang Tso-Lin of Manchuria and Wei
Pu-Fu, the man behind the throne at Pc
kin. Since the last trial of strength between
the two, which ended in Changes defeat and
retirement to Mukden, there has. been a
Washington conference which debated the
problem of the restoration of order in China
through the Strengthening of the prestige Of
the Central Government. But in that direc-
ton little visible progress has been made.
We witness once more the pathetic spectacle,
of diplomatic protests at Pekin addressed to
Central Government which is helpless to
enforce its orders upon the provincial mill
tarists. The unhappy country is still waiting
for the man strong enough and patriotic
enough to. restore the semblance Of unity and
peace which China did manage to maintain
under the Manchus.-New York Times.

ment. / have observed the lives Of many sue

who does not deliberately or unconsciously
believe that from the purely human viewpoint
three things are essential to a successful and
contented life. Each one had vocation

to make himself proficient. Each also had
his periods of recreation. in which he let the
world 80 hang, As to these essentials, the
world 10 pretty well agreed. Most men have
their vacations. Most men also have some
form Of recreation. Here and there man
may fool himself and try to fool others by in
sisting that his recreation is merely treatment
to fit himself the better for the pursaitSof

any event. ~

Politics, His Recommendation.
With our population all the time becoming
more congested, opportunities for following,
an avocation are lessening. More and more
VIC are being restricted to our vocations and
recreations. Just now, however, all of us may
adopt as an avocation what has long been one
of Indiana's principal industries politics.: We
mayflosc few dollars in the next few weeks
by reason of the uncertainty of the election,
but if we no longer can have our gardens to
work and our little carpenter shops in which
to tinker, and cannot engage in the simple
activities which formerly filled the time be-
ween work and play, we can get our minds off.
our business and away from recreation by
putting our best thought to a consideration
Of the problems of public life and to the
character and views of the candidates for Of
flee. We can try to instill into the minds
of men the principles upon which the republic
was founded. We can study new theories re-
ject them If wrong, and courageously accept
them If right. We can do this, too, without
partisan zeal, bitterness or i'll will toward
any one. Here is a1chance for the tired bust
ness man and woman 1t is chance for ALL
men and all women to get away from both
work and pleasure for a little while. -h'
Education in how to vote is as valuable
to the republic as the never-ending warning
to the voter that he ought to vote. OF course,
every qualified voter ought to vote and he
ought to vote intelligently. A nationwide
adoption of a course in political educa-
ton as an avocation would bring about
acceptance of Emerison's maxim, Ballots
should be weighed, not counted"

The outbreak Of hostilities in the vicinity Of
Shanghai ushers in what may be. called
for CHINA civil war of the second class.
First-class warfare rent the country apart
into three large sections dominated by Gen.
Wei Pu-Fu as the real master of the Pekin
Government, Chang Tso-Lin in control of
Manchuria, and Sun Yat-Sen in the south
around Canton. The latest trouble is a
quarrel between two comparatively humble
provincial Governors, and the casus belli, so
far as can be made out of the confused re-
ports, is Enthusiastically Chinese. The
great port of Shanghai lies $50 miles inside
the Province of Kiang-Su, but for some years
it has been administered by the Governor of
Che Kiang, the province to the south and
west To that arrangement the ruler of
Kiang-Su has now taken exception.
Ample protection for the safety of foreign
residnts at Shanghai would seem to be pro-
vided by the presence of nearly two dozen
warships in the harbor, reinforced By a de-
tense organization of residents. The peril to
foreigners in Chinese civil warfare usually
arises when the defeated army res lives itself
into bandit groups. Against such a threat
Shanghai is safe, but the same can not be
said for the smaller foreign settlements and
missionary establishments in the interior
Shanghai itself would be endangered only

sible for the frequent failure of the law to
punish the criminal. -.
Mr.. Hadley speaks with the comprehensive
knowledge of the law gained as a practitioner
state executive, teacher and detached observ-
er, and with the understanding of its defects
as applied to crime derived from a thorough
study by committee of which he is a MEM
ber While the report of the committee has g
not been published, his personal opinion as to
the prevalence Of crime is "that we are the
most lawless of all the civilized nations of the
world, with the possible exception of Italy,
where the criminal statistics, as is the case
in this country, are not accurately collected
and complied" And he is convinced that this p
condition is to be assigned to our Inefficient
system of experimenting and prosecuting those
committing criminal offenses." .te
The appalling increase and prevalence Of
crime in the United States is, indeed, con-
vincing evidence of decline in the admins
tration of Justice Not until technicality
ceases to be "glorified" and the legal struc-
ture of the country, strengthened by the elm,

fects a reform which we have STRONGLY urged,

tries.-St Louis Globe Democrat. 2a

Approves Ramsay Library Suggestion

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
BY your generous courtesy,~I was, few
days ago, permitted to voice my approval OF
Honorable Mel Drennen's suggestion anent
the selection of a site for the proposed pub
lie library building, and also my disapprovai
of the idea of putting the library on any per-
ton of Capital Park.
Since the publication of my communication
I have noted the more advisable suggestion
of Mr.. Ramsay which is but a magnifiea-
ton of Mr.. Drennens suggestion, and is to
my mind the practical solution of the vexing
problem, and is of such magnificent possibiii-
ties as to commend the idea to every loyal
citizen of this great and growing city, espe-
cially to every one who feels an interest in
the creating and development of a beautiful
and necessary civic center.
1. therefore, heartily commend the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Ramsay and sincerely trust that
l may live to see the proposed suggestion
adopted and developed into a practical reali-
cation with all its magnificent possibilities,
and again / protest against the plan OF put
ting the library on any part of the public
park.
During the thirty-four years that have
been citizen of Birmingham, there have been
many proposals and attempts to pervert Capt.
tai Park to other purposes than that for
which the park was donated, but for good
and sufficient moral ana IegaI reasons no
such rape or piracy has been permitted, and
if we, of this generation, would prove true to
our moral obligations to ourselves, to the do
nors, and to future generations, there will be
no such piracy permitted now. Can it be pos
sible that some one with secret pecuniary
motive is responsible for the ever and anon
proposal to pervert ALL or. some part of the
park for some purpose other than that for
which the property was donated? Suppose
we should build five or six hundred thou
sand dollar library building on a part of the
park, as proposed, then suppose that some
heirs or descendants of the donor should in
stitute legal proceedings to prove that we had
violated the terms of the donors and that the
courts should decide that we had done SO,
and declare that the park and all thereon
should therefore revert to the plaintiffs in
the case, would such a decision be unjust to
the people who had so wantonly violated the
actual or implied contract insofar as the
misuse and perversion of the park to other
purposes or uses than that for which 1T was
given?
Let us not only be prudent and wise in
considering the matter, but let us be loyal
and true to the donors and to the generations
that will come after we are gone
