SILHOUETTES OF
 STATE CAPITAL
9tsrArr cApyrAL BuREAU)

r4 MONTGOMERY, Ala, Feb. 25.-Or- atory will never become lost art in Alabama so long as the state has high ways unbuilt. Every session of the state highway commission brings forth the descendants of Demosthenes to urge in thunder tones the merits of their favorite routes, and frequently ey- idences of skill in argument and re- partee may be observed in striking de- gree.
 At the session of the commission to- day Horace Wilkinson of Birmingham, known. as a grim prosecutor of crimi- nal cases, could be heard to quote Scriptures like student ofaa theologi- cal seminiary, so ardent had the enthu- siasm of the hearing waxed.
 Judge Wilkinson appeared in the in- terest of road location in Greene county, and was impelled to his scrip tural quotation when it was declared that an opposing route was favored by a ma jority of the citizens of the county.
 @Mr. chairman and gentlemen of the commission, the children of Israel wan- dered 40 years in the wilderness be- cause they accepted the ma jority report of the spies sent to spy out the promised land" was the reply hurled back by Judge Wilkinson. He declared that the idea of our constitution and laws is to protect the rights of minorities.
 At another time, when it was claimed that the Boligee route, which Judge Will. kinson advocated, already was better favored with roads than the rival route he quoted the Biblical passage to the effect that ''to him that hath shall be given" Chairman Rogers of the high. way commission expressed the belief that the reason the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness was because they had been race of slaves, and Moses wished to wait until generation grew, up which had not felt the lash and which would prove better warriors. E A religious aspect was given to the matter of highway location again when advocate of certain route spoke in eloquent terms of thet ability of the preachers living in a certain town af. feeted by the proposed construction. He painted glowing picture of the minis ters gliding about over good highways salvaging the souls of the countryside around about, which would not be pos sible without the roads.
