No. 3, paragraph 94 lines to F, of that luminous and volumnous document, you will find these words:
 |" I subscribe to the principle of local option. and such has been my record. favor a general law that will enable the people of localities as may be prescribed by law. to vote upon this question, and settle for themselves what they want whether that be prohibition, dispensary or saloon.
 Now" added Little Liar No. 5, do you understand
 q understand" said The Truthful Man From Texas, that Dr. Cunningham is for local option, or at least he says he's In favor of 1t. But what's that got to do with the Anti-saloon league?"
 Do with 1t? It's got a whole lot to do with it." said Little Liar No. 5. Tt means that Dr. Cunningham is with us in this fight. Now, In as much as he is with us, 1t wouldn't be susprising-would it?- If we should just happen to be with him. If Dr. Cunningham should consent to lead this anti-saloon fight, you can readily see that
 "Dr. Cunningham lead the Anti-saloon league fight" exclaimed The Truthful Man From Texas half startled. "Oh ye gods and little fishes!"
 Why, of course' said Little Liar No. D. Why not? Comers got an issue, hasn' he? Why shouldn't Cunningham have one? Turn about's fair play. isn't 1t? If Comer's going to catechise candidates on railway rates, why shouldn't Cunning ham ask 'em questions about local option? Believe me, there Is much virtue in d catechetlcal campaign" said Little Liar No. 5.
 "There Is. indeedr' said The Truthful Man From Texas.

Dead December 1905.

By the Rev. Joseph Duffy.
 The dim gold mist across the cloud Was dead Decembers winding shroud, Which on it's bier. the burning west, Was borne to eternal rest.
 Dark cumuli in sad array
 Rolled through the closing gates of day. And seemed as each were mourning wain Slow vending fin it's funeral train When all was dark, and day was gone, A thousand starry torches shone. And lit with silver light the gloom That hung above December's tomb. Like dead December. passed away, My dearest friends are meath the clay; Still stand looking towards thy shore. Eternity would I were o'er That deep, dark-fowing, lonely sea. Which lies twixt waiting time and thee.

Commissioner Browns Views.

Commissioner Lucian Brown said last night that the police force ought to be reformed "upside down and inside out" and that the sooner 1t was done the bet ter would it be for the force, for the commission and for the city.
 Commissioner Brown added, however. that Chief Wer was not responsible for the condition of affairs.
 "A few days ago." said Commissioner Brown, "a man who has been in close touch with the Birmingham police force since 1t was organized, said to me that in his judgment the force today was less efficient than at any other time in it's history. That may be a somewhat radical criticism, but there Is some justification for it.
 "The morale of the force is deplorable. Discipline is everywhere wanting. There is no esprit de corps in the body. It Is leaderless. and in many cases shiftless. incorporate and indifferent. Rules govern ing the force that are known by every citizen in town are disobeyed by the po- licemen with perfect impunity.
 "The whole force needs to be toned up in morality and toned down in immortality Drinking is now rampant in the force. It

days ago informing the carriers on the rural routes that they would not only be given holiday. but would receive their full pay for the day.
 The mail matter in the postoffce here was very heavy yesterday and last night and the registery department is getting it's share of the work. The second-class mail matter is unusually heavy. which is occasioned by the forwarding of calenders and business cards for the new year. The usual Sunday hours will be observed at tho postoffice today.
 The clerks and carriers m the postoffice received their pay yesterday and the rail- way postal clerks will be paid off next week. The vouchers for the rural route carriers are being sent out The pay roll represents an expenditure of $46.50O The pay roll for the rural carriers alone amounts to $3s. 800, and the amount paid out to the employees of the local office will be $s0OO. It is pointed out that this is quite a neat sum to be put in circula- tion through the Birmingham office.
