The Forum Of People
A Picture of Christ for Kilby Prison

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Enclosed please find an appeal to your people to contribute to the fund to have painted and hung in the Kilby prison a pie ture of Jesus the Christ. The picture will be painted by a master, and will take four months in which to complete it. We expect to have it hung at Christmas time. Each of the inmates of this prison. numbering over eight hundred have contributed the sum of five cents, they having an allowance of fif- teen cents per week from the state
 In this day and time when there seems to be so much of dogmas and doubts and fears, we are proposing to have painted and hung this great picture of the Christ as Ala bamas answer to the critics, and that it may become q beacon light to the erring who have lost their way.
 If you will kindly aid us by giving pub licity to this cause, please state that contri- buttons should be sent to John W. Durr, care of the Durr Drug Co.,, Montgomery, Ala.
 With very kind regards and all good wishes. LEON MCORD.

The Making Of Gold
By JOHN CARLYLE

n.ABBI STEPHEN WISE, of New York, TX Knows great deal about marriage.
 He has performed many, many cere- monies and he makes it a practice to know something about the folks he joins in we'd lock.
 He has studied marriage and the causes of the failure of marriage. His conclusions are highly interesting.
 Rabbi Wise says that marriages generally fail among human failures Marriage is a difficult art-the most difficult of all arts. If you are the sort that is likely to fail at other important undertakings, you are pretty likely to fail as a husband or wife.
 One reason for marriage failures, he says, is that so many married people are just poor sports"
 They show an utterly unsportsmanlike in tolerance of each other. That attitude is in defensible. When you marry you agree to take things, not always as you would like to have them, but as they are.
 Dr. Walton, famous Boston neurologist, says. quoting an old Chinese saying:
 "The legs of the duck are short The legs of the stork are long. You cannot make the legs of the duck long. You cannot make the legs of the stork short"
 And that's that.
 Rabbl Wise says our present custom IS 10 throw a roseate stage light over the mar riage ceremony-and just expect that from then on everything will be automatically lovely.
 A long time ago I wrote an article for these columns in which I said marriage is a trade. It is. But Rabbi Wise defines it bet ter, perhaps, in calling it an art.
 It is the art of continued sympathy and forebearance. Unless one is capable of rising to these qualities and maintaining them, mar riage will not be successful
 Dr. Wise says in conclusion
 Mine out of ten failures are due to parents who fail to bring up their children in such way as understandingly to face the Job.'

Matter And Mystery
TITO substitute box of pills for the Cos
By DIR. FRANK CRANE

sTTVO substitute box of pills for the Cos
 pels is the dream of nineteen scien:
 lists out of twenty. That they call progress" So runs an apothegm Of Faul Bourget in his Physiology of Modern Love-
 There is supposed to be conflict between religion and science. It is thought to be peculiarly modern war. This is q. mistake. The real battle is between the idealists and the materialists, and is as old as the oldest Greek philosophy.
 From the beginnings of thought down to the present day thinkers may be divided into two classes; one tending to believe that all things are derived from matter, the other holding that all things have their origin in spirit. +sf
 The issue, by the way, will never be set tied if it were, philosophers would be out of job. E
 And it makes no difference. The common. sense point to keep in mind is that there is matter and there is spirit. Neither can be successfully denied. The subject has been threshed over for more than 1000 years.
 There are two ingredients in the universe matter with it's forces and life with it's forces. ts
 There are two classes of things we have to do with in human experience; facts and mysteries.
  niable. and as important as the other.
 The scientist deals with facts. He busies himself only with things he Can weigh, test, and measure, with forces he can determine.
 The artist, poet, and prophet, on the other hand. deal in the mysteries of life, things the scientists can never subject to their methods, even if they go on as they are pro- ceeding for 100000 years
 We cannot get along without the scientist, his methods, and his products. WitA>s:: them our agriculture, manufacture, com merce, education and government would stand still. Both our material prosperity and our economic organization depend upon science.
 But neither can we do without the other class Life is mostly mystery It is as i'm portant to learn how to adjust ourselves to what we don't know as to what we do know. Hence we need the prophet with his spiritual insight.
 After mankind has got enough to eat and drink he realizes he is more than an animal; he turns to beauty and to the infinite So we need the creative imagination of the ar- tist and the poet.
 The complete man is the scientist-poet, the artist-worker, the practical-relgious.
 Another of Paul Bourget's sayings is .To certain thinkers the soul is malady of the body If it is, it is that sacred malady' of which the ancients spoke. Andliwe'd rather die than live without it." rg

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

The words "politics" and "politician" have fallen from former high estate. Now they have cheapened meaning not originally attached to them. Really, pol itics should mean the science, theory and practice of government, and politician should designate one whose career is pol itics of the better sort. A politician is known by the sort of politics he prac- tices. Unfortunately, most of our latter day politics are of the self-seeking and opportunist variety, and do not have good government as the primary objec- tive.
 It seems that nowadays a politicians attitude on public questions Is formed, not according to considerations of the public welfare, but with a cautious eye to it's effect on his ability to get votes, The approval of his constituency is, aside from a sense of duty we'll done, politi- cian's proper reward. But too often the politicians effort is directed towards en- trapping the unwary vote by spacious performance, and not to win it hoqestly ] by worthy achievement
 The politician is often merely the pup pet of some political machine, the opera tions of which are covert and devoted to the task of making private profit out of graft, privilege, violation of law and those other emoluments whose number saff6~ financial value are limited only by zthe shPewdness of bosses or the breadth of the opportunity Politics and politi- clans of this sort abound. That is why there is so much deceit, incompetence and glaring inefficiency in government.
 This situation can be corrected and the profession of politics elevated to it's proper level, by consistent policy of electing to office only men of honesty and capacity. For it seems that, as hon. esty declines, capacity dwindles even more rapidly. If the people are to blame for the present low ebb of politics, then the people are themselves the architects of reform. Something will have to be done about it, if government is to be properly carried on. Who shall do|it, if not those patriotic citizens whose welfare depends upon good governmnt? And they are legion.
