The Woman Citizen

Those members under 45 years
of age who have not paid their poll
taxes for this year are urged to do
SO at once. The books are open at the
court house now and all women who
will have lived in the state two years
by the time of the next election which
will be probably the city election in
October. 1925, should pay poll tax
under the age of 49,. Those who have
not registered may pay their poll tax
now and register when the books
are open in July 1925. 1t is unfortunate
that one cannot register and pay poll
tax at the same time in Alabama and
so become qualified voters. 1t is con-
coded that Alabama laws make it too
hard to qualify to vote and the result
of this difficulty in qualifying is
shown by the statistics recently OBJ
tanned by the league. Some eleven coun-
ties in the state cast larger vote in
1920 than they had qualified voters
in 1924.
Blount county, for instance cast 7,040
votes in the presidential election of
1920 and in 1924 only 3,709 votes or
a little more than half and the number
of qualified voters in Blount for 1924
is only 5,194 or nearly 1000 less than
actually voted in 1920, show that the
people are neglecting to qualify to vote.
Schools Get Tax
If all the people realized that the
poll tax goes to the schools all the
women would become eager to pay their
poll tax and to better school conditions
in Alabama. Nearly every woman knows
how badly the schools need all the
money they can get.

ward good government until we can
bring the voter to an understanding

Program For Next Year
Believing that the great experiment
of democracy requires serious study of
its problems the league will have op-
portunities for the citizens to inform
themselves either by open forums for
POLITICAL information at stated inter
walls or by institutes of government and
POLITICS either here or at some of the
state schools.

ANTI.PEACE PROPAGANDA

ANTI.PEACE PROPAGANDA
Very subtly the gossips have woven
into their tales without knowing where
they got it the charge that all peace
societies (there are rs in this coun-
try or more or less national scope) are
composed of nincompoops who blindly
follow leaders who are blindly leading
them and the nation to destruction. In
the wake of these tales comes the propa-
ganda for war preparedness against
imaginary enemies. The combination
produces the precise state of mind de-
sired by the propagandists. The masses
are mystified by dozens of conflicting
rumors and the timid withdraw from
the peace movement, lest they be con-
taminated by association with doubtful
characters, or ALPHABETICALLY hamper
necessary preparations for defense. Over
The whole situation ests seemingly
impenetrable fog of, mystery and misun-
dcrstanding.-Carrie Chapman Gait in

commanded the narrow stairway to
the sixth floor. After passing mus
ter here, arrivals were again stopped
at the lobby entrance to the court
room by another group of officials,
who gave pass the final once-over
On all stairways, on each floor and
in almost every nook and corner in
the rambling structure from one to
four representatives of the law were
stationed. Extreme quiet pervaded
everywhere, what little talking there
was being done in a rather subdued
tone.
In scarcely more than q half hour
the street bordering on the south of
the courts building was seething
mass of trucks. automobiles, motor
cycle policemen, traffic officers and
would-be spectators.
The Criminal Courts Building is To-
Gated in one of the busiest whole
sale and manufacturing districts of
the city, which made the traffic prob
lem more difficult to handle.
All Kept Moving.
Everyone now was kept moving.
Four mounted officers at each inter
section of the streets OH the south
side of the building were almost
frantically waving heavy trucks,
push carts and horse-drawn vehicles
into action. Passersby, regardless of
their destination, were ordered to
keep moving by the knots of police
men, whose number in the meantime
had been considerably strengthened.
Judge Caverly. piloted by a large
force of motor policemen and guarded
on all sides by mounted officers,
reached the Criminal Courts Building
about twenty minutes of 9 and in a
few minutes had made his way to
the courtroom to impose the penalty
upon Leopold and Loeb.
CaVerIy IL Protected.
No untoWard incident was reported
on the judges trip down town from
his residence. A battery of cameras
furnished the only noteworthy re-
ception to the judge as he alighted
from the car, in which a squad of
secret service men and operatives
were riding.

Heavy Guard Established.
Streets surrounding the Criminal
Courts Building were virtually de-

only visible signs of activity being
the silent patrol of policemen at in
tervals of about 100 feet in each OF
| the four blocks forming the square
in which the courts building and
county Jail are located.
The entrance to the courts building
was guarded by squad of de-
tectives, each member of which

sentinel in the street leading to the
entrance We're carefully inspected.
There were no loiterers or prospec-

Passing the first barrier. the per-
son seeking the courtroom on the
sixth floor was challenged four times
before finally gaining admission.
Bailiffs and deputy sherifrs formed
receiving line on both sides of the
lobby on the lower floor.
Through this gantlct, whether
seeking the elevators or the open
stairway, the credentials again were
read. The elevator operator again
asked for passes. If the stairs were

him to maintain quiet dignity and
order in the courtroom in the time
intervening between the our before
calling court to order. He then gave
himself to chatting and comforting
with his other officers and a few
friends No one was permitted beyond
the gate which led to his private
room More operatives were sta

friends of the two boys families en-

Judge Caverly arrived.
Doors Are Locked.
The courtroom by this time was
about one-third full. newspaper men.
photographers. friends and counsel of
the two defendants, court officers and
detectives making up the entire as
semblage. Judge Caverly's room was
soon locked to any admittance. None

AT $50 am Robert E. Grove, States
attorney, and his assistants in the
case, Thomas Marshall, Joseph Savage
and Milton Smith, took their seats
before the bench.

The prosecutors were accompanied
by Samuel EttleSon, personal attor
ney for Jacob Franks, father of the
victim. He announced that Mr.

was with only the first two that pub

was over only life and death that the
prosecution fought during the six

"Ah, that's good omen," he ex-
claimed.
The careful vigilance in regard to
keeping the public away from the
criminal courts building was being
maintained. A detective was turned
back by a guard who did not know
the man.
