''The immigration movement for Ala bama will no doubt prove very bene- fcial to the state" said man at the Morris last night. But I trust the com mittees and associations will be careful as to what kind of immigration they en- courage.
 Tt is a hard matter to tell just who will make good citizens. All men that will not elect either to be laborers or go to the country and farm should be excluded from the ports. Birmingham and the entire state for that matter need only industrious men. All such will be welcome"

 up, as they very often express 1t. Then is when you need alcohol in some form. Use it freely, and to your heart s content, and you need not fear that you will bring a drunkark into the world. And if you do not comply with this Dl- vine edict, you are certainly re- sponsibIe for the consequence of its violation.
 We will take the Indians for ex- ample. Their women do all the hard work and drudgery. And 1t is not supposed that they are any more immune from nature,s laws than are their white sisters. The laws of the country prohibit the sale of alcohol to the Indians in any way. If they get any, it is in a clandestine way, and as race the Indian Is born drunkard. Now some of the learned NJ. Ds. or Revs. may, and doubtless will tell you that this mistake. But if they are close students of nature they will not.
 We think that there is but one thing that the NJ. Ds. agree on, and that is, that the boil is never on bottom upwards. And now about the ruined homes: There are more homes ruined by the ex- else tax levied by the government than by the actual use of liquor. As spoken above, people inherit q desire for it, that is, great many do, and will have it at any price, when, if they could get 1t at nom- inal rates, their homes would be happy and prosperous.
 We'll, our chapter for next week will be our closing one. We will then enumerate some of the indus tries of the country that would be affected by prohibition.

 Reports from Newport Monday say that, in addition to the other victims of the wreck, it is now be. lieved that a middle aged man, probably 45 years old, and his six rold son lost their lives in the wreck.
 F. Fowler, a baseball player of Chicago en route to Hot Springs, is positive that the two were lost. He was talking to the father just before the wreck and found tsat he was from Montreal, Canada. The kindness of the man to the lit tie fellow and his anxiety for his safety first attracted his attention to the two. Both were in the chair car when the train went into the ditch, and Mr. Fowler says they have not been seen since. Bones were found in the wreckage to confirm this belief, which was shared by the train porter and the other passengers.

Divorce.

To the Editor of The Register:
Sir:-In view of the resolutions pub
lished in the last issue of the Register by
four Protestant clergymen of Middlebury,
in which they take the astonishing
ground that no party to divorce, inno-
cent or guilty, should be permitted to
marry again while the other party is
alive; and to show that there are other
clergymen of at least equal eminence
that take an opposite view; ask you to
publish the following short article by
Rev. Minot j. Savage, clipped from the
current number of Smiths Magazine. 1
hereby offer to discuss, either orally in
public, or with your permission in the
columns of your paper, the vitality i'm
portant questions raised by these resolu-
lions, with any or all of the signers there
of.

DIVORCE BLESSING TO WOMEN.
One of the distinguishing characteris-
tics of modern times is the growth of
divorce. A great many people are
frightened and think that this is one of
the deplorable fruits of the wider free
dom granted to women. l believe, on
the whole, that large number of
divorces at the present time are altogether
to be welcomed. They are almost always
in the interest of oppressed women, Civ
ing them another opportunity for free,
sweet, wholesome life. There are cases
where the divorce laws are abused. but
not nearly so many as the frightened
ministers of great many of our churches
seem to imagine. Law does not make
marriages. The Church does not make
marriages. Men and women, if they are
ever married, marry themselves. All
the law can do is to make a clumsy
attempt to protect: all the Church can
do is to recognize and try to to consecrate
fact which already exists. But if
there is no marriage, then it is desecra-
ton to keep up the sham. If there are
children, that complexities matters; but
a great many times the woman is simply
released from an intolerable, outrageous
existence, and given an opportunity
once more to find something sweet anC
hopeful in the way of love and life

Paul Conchas, the foremost heavy
weight juggler of the world is to head a
capital variety program at Keith's the
week of Oct..2. Mr.. Conchas is known
worldwide as 1.-The Army Hercules" for
the reason that he jugeles with wonder
full daring, Krupp shell, cannon and in
fact nearly all the implements of modern
warfare as if they were toys. 1t is
claimed for Conchas that he commences
his juggling feats where the others leave
off, and coupling that with a wonderful
physique, it is safe to say that he will
create no end of talk" among theatre
goers. The surrounding show is a not

Decline to Close Up.

The holders of licenses tosell intoxicat-
ing liquors in Montpelier are somewhat
stirred up over the announcement by
Mayor Cory that he shall request them
to close their places of business Wednes-
day, Oct. a, Centennial day. The holders
of licenses will strenuously object to
doing this unless every place of business
in the city is also closed. One paragraph
of the license law provides that "the
mayor of a city or the selectmen of a
town may in case of riot or great public
excitement order licensees not to sell, or
furnish Intoxicating liquor, for a period
not exceeding three consecutive days"
The dealers claim that no such con-
dition will arise on that day and as the
law does not compel them to close, it is
probable their places of business will be
open.
