r ATATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 MONTGOMERY, Jan. 31.-- About a year ago a baby was found one, winter night on doorstep in Mohtkomery. During the past twelve months this same infant has been the subject of litigation before three. courts. which litigation ended Thutsday when the supreme court of Alabama decided that the real parents had forfeited their right to the child and that its foster father and motheH Mfr. nnd Mrs. c. s. Da- wis of. Montgomery. will henceforth have an undisputed claim to the young American
 The title of the case is the Chil dren's Aid Society vs. c. s. Davis ct al. The. opinion was written by Associate Justice A. D. Sayre and concurred in by all the justices ex- cept Gardner. f<
 The opinion recites the fact that the baby in dispute, a boy, now Something more than one year of age, was with the approval of an agent of the Children's Aid society given to the custody of the appel lants, the Davises. The latter were told, the opinion states, that tn, aid society would control the future placement of the child and were con- fidenuy, but not officially, assured that they would be allowed to keep the infant. ff
 In May, 1923,s after the parents of the child were discovered, the hid society petitioned the juvenile court for the child to, be declared ward of the state. On June 2 the ju- venile court decreed the child a ward of the state and ordered it to the custody of the Children's Aid society. The Davises then appealed to the circuit court of Montgomery county, which, on August 5, 1923, gave them the custody of the child.

Placing The Blame

Gov. Donahey has criticized the
people in those school districts that
failed or refused to provide suffi-
cient funds for the maintenance of
their schools by voting additional
tax leyies. That is lust criticism
and puts the blame exactly where it
belongs in such cases. In those dis
trlcts officials had advance informa-
ton of income and needs, knew the
income from the usual sources
would be wholly insufficient to keep
the schools going during the regu-
lar terms. Despite that informa-
ton, IN a number of instances, no
steps were taken to provide funds,
while in other places the additional
tax levy was defeated by the patrons
of the schools when submitted ac-
cording to law.
In such cases it is sheer folly for
the people to make complaints and
seek to lay the blame for the unhap-
py situation on somebody in the
state government. The blame is at
home, belongs to them, belongs to
the people who are calling loudly
that somebody pull them out of the
pit into which their negligence or
lolly Cast them. mere was way to
keep out of trouble, plain way,
and the officials and voters knew it
but refused to go that way. Now
they see the results of their own
folly.
Some districts are in trouble even
after the additional levies were
voted, and such districts are entitled
to help if there is a way provided
by law for helping them. But in
all cases where help is sought or
given there should be great care en-
ployed that no custom be establish
ed of permitting the negligent and
unwilling people to lean on the
state for the help they declined to
provide for themselves. There is
far too much of the unhappy custom
of leaning on the state for help in
evidence now and it should be re-
buked whenever there is opportuni-
ty. There are ways provided by
which people and communities may
avoid trouble, may keep out of diff
ficulties and, unless these ways have
been used wisely, it would be rank
folly to have the state step in and
carry the load.-O. S. Journal.
