ALDERMAN PLAN
GETS MOMENTUM
DR.. r. F. LOyelady Joins Forces
OF Commission PrOtestants

The movement begun two days ago to
retore the old aldermanic form Of city
government for Birmingham, instead of
the commission form used at present,
is gaining momentum, according to
Hunter Armstrong, register in chan
Gerry and one of the first to advocate
the change.
MANY people prominent in city and
county politics have expressed them
selves as favoring the PLAN" he said
Saturday. MANY of them have talked
to me about it personally, while many
others have called me over the tele-
phone and assured me that they thought
a change should be made"
DR.. r. +. Lovelady, chairman of the
Jefferson county democratic executive
committee, is one of these who has
taken a stand in favor of the return
to the aldermanic form.
Il think such a change is needed in
Birmingham he said. "a mayor and
board of aldermen would be more in
keeping with our state and national
governments. However, there will be
a greater responsibility on the people
to elect to the mayors job man
worthy of his added duties. Several leg
islative acts would also be needed. ="
The petition probably will be circu-
lated during the present week. At least
5000 qualified voters must sign it be-
fore the referendum may be called.

DOMESTIC COURT
Law Is UPHELD
Judge Smith Announces
Decision In Quo War
rantO Proceedings

Constitutionality of the state law
creating the court of domestic relations
was upheld Saturday by Judge G. e.
Smith of the civil division of circuit
court, in announcing a judgment for
the defendant In the quo warranto pro-
ceedings instituted several weeks ago
by w. w. Harmon.
The plaintiff Immediately gave no.
tice that exception would be taken to
the judgment, and the case is expected
to be appealed to the supreme court for
final decision. In announcing his rul-
ing, Judge Smith stated that the plain
tiff had failed to plead the case fur
Their after submitting demurrers.
The suit was filed by Mr.. Harmon,
through his attorney. j, s. McLendon,
and Judge s. d. Murphy was made de-
PENDANT, although it was stated that
the outcome would affect Judge Vir-
ginia Henry Mayfield's division of the
court of domestic relations as well.
Judge Murphy was assisted in his de-
Tense by Solicitor Ernest Hargrave, of
the domestic relations court.
The court was created last summer
and superseded the juvenile court. The
law establishing it provided for its
separation into two divisions and ap-
piled only to those counties having a
population of 100000 or more.

''To what do you attribute the Turk S
hatred for the Greeks and Armenians ~
."The Turks hatred for the Greeks
and Armenians is deeper than the diff
ferences of religion. The atmosphere of
Islam is full of daily-in fact, hourlyx-
reference to reverence, praise and trust
of Allah. But Allah's commandments
from Thou shalt not kill to Thou shalt
not covet' are not regarded by the Turk
to apply to his enemies, the Greeks
and Armenians.
THESE two races had prospered. Cut
off from all political positions and civil
rights they had; devoted themselves to
exchange, to banking, to trade and to
transportation. They grew rich, pur-
sued all the four paths / have mem
toned and their wealth and prosperity
continued to grow. They became the
NATURAL channels of European trade.
'sThe Turkish middle class became
poorer and more hostile and fanatic,
eliminating in the desire of the Turks
to entirely wipe out the Christian mi
norities, feeling similar to that which
causes the Jewish pogroms in Russia
and the southeastern part of Europe.
The history of the world shows that ra-
cial bitterness turns to massacre when
a nations victories fall away and pros
perity disappears. To the mind of the
simple, unlettered Turk the Greeks and
Armenians had the prosperity which
he had lost-a prosperity rightfuny be.

ITO this cause we must add the bit

Ottoman empire was holding a terri

as soon as he saw the right time dur

his sinister desires about the annihila.
