A Victim of Cheap Politics.

The Roberts case is now purely political. It is part of the campaign for reelection. It is not case of morals at all, but is one of vote-getting. The republican managers think they see in it a chance to win some highly moral votes, and they propose to secure them.
 If the case had been treated in accord ance with precedents two things would have occurred that have not occurred and will not occur, namely, Roberts would have been seated because he holds a certificate of election. After he had been seated, his right to a seat might have been challenged, but so far as precedent goes the house should not say what kind of representa- tive a state shall send to Washington. These two things would have occurred If there had been no vote-getting, no dema- gogry, in the treatment of the case.
 Utah is state. She Is also a state with out representation in the house of repre- sentatives. Polygamy is very bad; The Age-Herald has no excuse to offer for it, but the disfranchisement of state Is more

wILL1NGHAM BILL DEFEATED
Final Vote Was PC to l4-Georgia Will
 Have Whiskey

Atlanta, Ga., December S.-By a vote of 26 to II the Willingham bill was killed in the senate today and state prohibition de- feated. The various roll calls consumed an hour, a great many senators rising to ex- plain their votesa
 The debate in the senate commenced two days ago, and was carried on with great vigor. Every interest in the state in fiuenced by the whisky traffic was for the passage of the bill, and all moral agencies were used in its favor. Had the measure passed the senate 1t would have been so amended as to kill it's purpose.
 The entire fight has been one of the fiercest the state has ever known along this line but it is now believed the question is effectually settled for some time.
 The Wilingham bill provided for the closing of all saloons the abolishing Of all breweres and distilleries, and make It statutory crime for any one to give drink of intoxicating liquor to another except as medicine prescribed by a physician.
 The bill further provided that no club or hotel should have liquors in its dining rooms or cafe, but this did not apply to private entertainments or banquets.

THE TRANSPORTATION

By Samuel Greg. Stay, Master, stay upon this heavenly hill; A little longer, let us finger still; With these three mighty ones of old beside Near to the Awful Presence still abide; Before the throne of light we trembling
 stand, And catch glimpse into the spirit-land. Stay, Master, stay, we breathe purer
 air; This life is not the life that waits us there; Thoughts feeling, flashes, glimpses come and go; We cannot speak them-nay, we do not
 know; Wrapt in this cloud of light we seem to be The thing we fain would grow-eternally. "No," saith the Lord, "the hour is past
 we go;
 Our home, our life, our duties lie below. While here we kneel upon the mount of
 prayer. The blow lies waiting in the furrow there! Here we sought God that we might know
 his will; There we must do it-serve him-see him
 still.'' If man aspires to reach the throne of God, Ger the dull plains of earth must lie the
 road, He who best does his lowly duty here Shall mount the highest in nobler sphere; At Gods own feet our spirits seek their
 rest, And he is nearest Him who serves Him
 best.

LATEST IN ADVERTISING

From the Philadelphia Call
 A new scheme of advertising was resorted to by a progressive business firm in a pros- porous city in the south. The junior part Ter of the firm swore out a warrant for the arrest of the senior partner on the ground that he was selling goods below cost and that the firm was certainly losing money thereby. li1
 The case came up in court, and the~coun- sel for the senior partner asked for a, post ponement in order to have more time to prepare his case. The judge granted sthe request, bail was fixed and the senior mem Der released. As he left the court room the junior partner arose and exclaimed: Eff he is released the sacrifice will go onIY
 The news soon spread and the firm did a better business
 When the case was again called no plaintiff appeared and the charge WAS dis missed. The firm had succeeded in thair object-advertisement.

He had shot himself just above the right temple.

The Luncheon Habit.

The eating of midday meal in more or less haste, under more or less mental strain and worry, is widely denounced of late, and the favorite remedy seems to consist in d "taperng off that will in the end ob- literate the midday meal altogether. No doubt the midday meal seems now ne- cessity to the toiler, but it is not. We are creatures of habit, and we do, and think we must do, as we have been trained to do; but there is ample evidence for the state ment that a good breakfast and good dinner after the days work is done are all meals that are needful in order to keep yigor at its best. We eat too much as a rule, and it long ago became a maxim that overeating kills moce persons in this world than starvation does
 The chief advantage in abolishing the midday meal does not consist so much in the economy of valuable time as it does in deferring the heartiest meal to time when it can be taken leisurely and all en- orgies of the body can be given to its di- gestion. This is certainly important. With one exception the staff of this paper are and long have been addicted to the two- meal system-not all times of necessity, but at all times because of it's practicability. Those who have once overcome the lunch con habit rarely return to it. It does not promote good digestion, and good digestion waits on appetite. Appetite, which is health. certainly springs from the two- meal system, as slight trial of it will soon make plain.
 The crusade against the luncheon habit should also include crusade against the midday cocktail or schooner. One is as in- furious as the other. Perhaps the latter is more to be avoided than the former. Go hungry and dry until the days work is done. if you want an appetite that will sweep all before it. Have no fear about sleep after hearty meal, for the doctors have at length discovered that man can lie down, as an animal can, after a hearty meal, and sleep to beat the band.

TIE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
MontevaIio's Option Money.

The Ashville Aegis congratulates the Montevallo school upon having it's land back and $500, option money, to boot. If the Aegis has any evidence that Montevallo has received, or is about to receive, the option money, it should bring it forward. No one else has any such evidence. The wording of the option is still withheld from the public, and the whereabouts of the op- ton money is also a mystery The Aegis may have inside information, and if it has 1t should publish it.
 In the absence of information, on account of the secret manner of handling public property in this stated manner peculiar to this state alone in forty-fve states-no one but the Aegis knows what the status of the option money is The court journal may know, but it will not tell. The Aegis says Montevallo has bagged it. but it does not furnish any proof of it's unusual knowl- edge.
 At first sight it would seem that when the state bunglngly gives an option to land 1t does not possess, and did not pos sess when the option expired, no forfeiture of option money could or would take place. But that, of course, depends upon the word ing of the option, and this is withheld from the common herd, the vulgar public, the plain people who are not supposed to know an option when they see it.
 But be this as it may, The Age-Herald is not inclined to be captious. If Montevallo has absorbed the s25OO, as the Aegis says it has, let proof of the fact be furnished, and no paper will outrun in point of time The Age-Herald in an acknowledgement of the fact. In the absence of proof the Aegis must excuse us if we are trife skeptical. The optionee does not act like man who had been compelled to contribute $2,500 to a school that does not bear his name. The case is full of doubts. and the Aegis should clear up these doubts if 1t has evidence with which to back up its statement.

MUST CLEAR HIS OWN SKIRTS rom the Roanoke Leader.

From the Roanoke Leader
 It is significant when so able and con- servative paper as the Union Springs Herald, which is occupying a neutral posi- ton in the senatorial race, declares that Governor Johnston must make a fair and square showing of his part in the now famous land deals. The burden of proof is on him, and unless he can show his skirts clear, all right-thinking people, who are open to the truth, must condemn him. The Herald represents thousands of honest voters in this state.

 We don't approve of some of the meth eds that are being used against Governor Johnston.

Now, governor, won't you take the same amount of energy in your own case. If you are innocent you have been badly treated, governor.
