Advocates of Change in
State Health Department
and “Standpatters” Pre
sent Their Arguments
Dr. C. T. Yarbrough of Opelika, member
of the legislature and chairman of the
committee on public health, is confident
that the legislature will take action to
wards eliminating the politics which h*'
and associates contend has made highly
ineffective if not dangerous the health
system of Alabama.
During the two-day session of the pro
hibition majority In Birmingham, the doc
tors had an opportunity very freely to
express their opinion regarding the
changes which they think should he in
stituted. The a‘stu«fe^>uiters'’ represented
by the counselors of tiie medical associa
tion of the state of Alabama had their
inning. They insisted that conditions were
exceptionally fine and that no change
should he made. The “extremists” had
their inning. They very plainly confessed
that the health system in the hands of
the association had been proved a failure,
and urged the legislature to take the de
partment out of the hands of the doctors
and put it in the hands of the people.
The “progressives” or supporters of the
Gorgas bill made what seemed to be the
best impression. They were more nu
merous in the first place and more in
sistent that salutary changes be wrought.
And then they had a friend at court in
the person of Dr. Yarbrough, the chair
man of the committee into the hands ol
which the bill will he entrusted.
“There is no question,” said Dr. Yar
brough, “but that the legislature will
take action regarding the conditions sur
rounding the health department. The
matter of public health is too important
to be entrusted to a body of 100 men who
hold office perpetually and who are not
amenable to any constituency. I have
talked with peoplq from every section ol
Alabama, and know that the sentiment
demands that conditions be Improved.
There is a call from every county of the
state that the health officer be the most
expert sanitarian available in the United
States, that the health board be com
posed In part of laymen, and be elected
by the members—not the counselors—of
the association."

“In a Dungeon Vile”_
White Woman Confined In Basement of County Jail On
Heinous Charge of Abusive Language—Unable to
Make Bond and Must Remain In Jail
Until September
Ry CR4HLKS H. M 41S DY
In a vile dungeon In the basement of
the county jail, in a place that has been
declared time and again "unfit for hu
man habitation,” bv the prison inspector,
a white woman is incarcerated on that
most vicious of all the charges on ■ the
statute hooks, "abusive language." She j
was placed in jail on a warrant issued
by a justice of the peace, who. by the
way, had no alternative hut to issue the
warrant and make it returnable to the
criminal court for that is the way the
law' directs.
Under the constitution she is innocent
until proven guilty. That she is poor
and friendless is evidenced from the fact
that she could not make the nominal bond
required. She can only he tried in the
criminal court of Jefferson county for
no other court has jurisdiction of such a
heinous * offense as "abusive language.'
Even the justice of the peace could not
hear her defense, and if the proper affi
davit was made he was compelled to issue
the warrant.
Now under the laws of the state of
Alabama this poor and friendless white
woman will have to stay in jail until the
criminal court again convenes, and do you
know that court is in recess until the fall'.'
To be more specific it will not reconvene
until the “second Monday in September."
Just think of it? A white woman charged
with a most trival offense being kept ip
jail over two months, and in a place you
would not begin to keep a dog, probably
because she "sassed" some one.
There is no criticism due Sheriff Batson
for this condition. The woman was prop
erly committed and he placed her in the
only place at his disposal. Furthermore1
he has done his best to make the place |
habitable. But it cannot he done. Tt rs ,
a disgrace to the county and state that j
white women should be placed in such
surroundings, and it is a further disgrace
that not a jail In the county has h matron
■to look after its women prisoners.
Only a few' weeks ago Judge \V. T.
Orubb of the federal court ordered two
white women, charged with violating the
nnti-dnig act, taken out of the county
jail and placed in tire detention home of
the city welfare department, and stated
that "no white wnman under tlie jurisdic
tion of the 1'nited States court should
stay in such a place.” Prom time to
time? the solicitor of the county has re
leased white women on their own recog
nizance rather than keep them in the
vile dungeon at the county jail.
There is hardly a Jurist In the count'
who is not in favor of striking the
•abusive language” charge off the statute
hooks; it opens such a wide avenue for
spite work. Neighbors will sometimes
quarrel, and If one calls the other a harsh
name a warrant can be secured and the
speaker thrown into jail. Some of the
judges are Inclined to the opinion that no
warrant of this character should be is
sued until the solicitor's office has passed
on it. hut all agree that a change ts
urgently necessary.
This woman’s case Is another, of the
many arguments for the court of common
pleas, which never recesses, being given
jurisdiction over such offenses; in fact it
is an argument for its having jurisdiction
over all minor offenses, for the poor and
friendless who are unfortunate enough
to get In the clutches of the law, during
the recess of the court, are compelled to
lie in jail for months before being tried.
Then again, the costs of the county court
runs up to from $20 to $50 while the cost
in the court of common pleas Is less than
j $5. One dollar and cost in the county
may he from $21 to $51 or more; $1 and cost
in the court of common pleas can never
exceed $(>. And these costs have to he
worked out on the county roads In the
majority of instances. Does not justice
and humanity demand a change?
