MR.. THUsTON's STATEMENT.

The Age-Herald notes that Mr.. E. G.
Illusion of the park board has not
changed his position as to the election
of fifth member, in spite of the obvi-
Gus desire of some to make it appear so.
Mr.. Illusion sets forth his position in
letter appearing in the Forum Of the Peo-
pie today. There is evidently strong
undercurrent of political effort, center
ing at the city hall, to force the city
commissions choice upon the park board,
not, is is believed, because the commits
sion believes its choice the best possible,
but because it is determined not to be
thwarted politically.
There is general public regret that the
park possibilities of this community could
not be divorced from every other purpose
except that of serving the public need for
this sort of development. City commits
sion politics, however, stand in the way
of this, as of so many other enterprises OF
public moment. Mr.. Illusion is COM
mended for adhering to a position he be-
lieves to be best for the park purpose.

WE'LL, JUDAS PRIEST!

A contemporary inquiries how Judas
Priest became a by-word. Inasmuch as
this is the day before election, and
rather dull anyhow, we may as we'll look
into the matter. Judas Iscariot, to be
sure, was no priest; so that lets him out.
Jude, author of the New Testament
Epistle of that title, has the variant name
Judas, but he was hardly ever of suffi-
cient prominence to bring his name into
the vulgar tongue. Besides, he was APP
parently only a layman of leisure and
culture, and not priest.
In considering everyday phrases of this
kind, that seem to have no particular
meaning to the rank and file of people,
it is often necessary only to turn back
to some period of prolific introduction of
foreign words and phrases into our Ian
guage and find there some current say
ing of easy corruption by the English
who heard the phrase frequently fall
from the lips of foreigners without COM
pretending its meaning. French is the
language that more than any other in
modern times has left an impression on
our tongue Considering Judas Priest as
a possible corruption of some ordinary
French phrase, one of the first that comes
into the mind is ecu d'esprit." AS the
word "jeu" on clumsy English tongues

MERCHANDISING VERSUS TARIFF

1t is both unique and encouraging to
discover the producers of Southern kraft
paper turning, not to the protective tar
Tiff, but to intensive merchandising meth
DDS in order to meet the competition of
llow-priced imported papers of the same
class and grade. The Southern Kraft
Manufacturers Association recently met
at New Orleans and decided: "The chief
problem with which the association strug-
giles is the overproduction of kraft paper
in the South. 1t is bending its energies
toward finding markets that will absorb
all the paper now being manufactured
from Southern pine pulp. The market is
in an uncertain condition, owing to the
general slowness of business movement,
to the competition of Northern papers
which find their regular markets slack,
and to the cheap kraft from Europe,
which economic conditions there force on
the American market at delivered prices,

THE RECKLEssNEss PROBLEM.

Sunday reaped its usual toll of VIC
lent deaths. Records show that the total
of such deaths is growing. 1t Il difficult
to tell from the figures, however,
whether people are becoming more reck-
less or whether the opportunities for
recklessness are not merely becoming
more numerous. 1t would be interest
ing, for example, to know how the ratio
of increase in accidents on highways
compares with the increase in the num-
Der of automobiles. There must be some
close relation between the two. Blrmlng-
hams traffic toll seems to grow con-
tinually, but is it growing any more
rapidly than the ratio of population IN
crease and automobile ownership? There
is no desire to minimize the gravity OF
the situation. Quite the contrary. But
it is not inadvisable to consider all the
facts and factors, before proceeding to
remedy.
There are some who advocate law
commanding all people to come to full
stop before driving across a rallroad
track Some states even have such laws
which are enforced only where there is
some one to watch the crossings, which
ss,of course not practicable at all cross
fnps. especially in the suburbs or in the
country. If such law were obeyed
obviously it would inconvenience hun.
dreds of careful people, on the doubtful
prospect of protecting some careless per-
son who wouldn't observe the law any
how, and so would not receive the In
sended protection.
\ 1t appears that the best way of attack
ing the problem is at the cause Careful
driving is matter not of legislation but
of Judgment. And judgment resides in
the drivers own brain, or is absent
therefrom. Careful people are not killed
in accidents because of their own negli-
gence. They suffer from the reckless
ness of others, or from unprotected
crossings. 1t appears that the right to
drive on public highways and on crowded
streets carries with it an assumption of
intelligence and skill on the part of the
driver. This assumption is unfounded in
many cases, and there is where the prob
lem begins. Either those found incompe-
tent to drive carefully should be barred
from driving, or there should be some
method of licensing drivers according to
their mental capacity to operate motor
cars judiciously and carefully in ticklish
places and in dangerous situations.

reason why it should be capitalized.

As To City Salaries.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:.
When some of my neighbors asked me to
go with them to the city commissioners and
ioin them in a request for more police pro-
lection and better salaries for officers re-
ceiving less than $4,000 per month, l was
pleased to do so. However, had l known that
this request would result IN placing this al
ready over-worked little force en- fee basis
and that this additional revenue produced by
them would not be used for increasing the
force but that instead one-half of them would
still be left on salaries of around $4,000 per
month while the great majority OF this money
was spent in raising the salaries OF so-called
captains, chiefs, ETC., in the fire department
as well as a large number OF inspectors ana
political films in the various departments
who were already making salaries OF from
$4,000 to $4,000 per month, / most Ger
tainly would not have joined them.
The recent report of the engineers OF the
Underwriters Fire Insurance Association
shows that the citizens of Birmingham are
already paying more per capita for fire pro
lection than almost any city In the country
By what process of reasoning did the COM
missoners reach the conclusion that some
sixty captains and engineers in the fire de-
partment should be paid thirty dollars per
month more than is paid in Atlanta Ga, or
thirty-five dollars more than is paid IN Mem
phis, Tenn, and as supposed business men
how can they explain the necessity at TINS
time for the reckless raising of the salaries
throughout of the various highly paid chiefs
and inspectors while refusing to give the
citizens the benefit of an additional man IL
the police or fire departments.
If it was their purpose to build up po
litical machine that will function smoothly
next fall they have probably ACCOMPLISHED 1t
But if they inteded to comply with the re
quest of the large number of taxpayers thai
appeared before them in this matter they have
failed absolutely. -
