Liquor Control of Legislature.
Birmingham News.
An Arkansas senator has exposed
the deal in which the liquor interests
bought the votes of legislators out
there. This kind of participation in
politics by the liquor interests has con-
tributed more to the cause of prohi-
bftion than all the. temperance lectur-
ers combined.
A Wide Broad Statement.

the appointed time and repeal every
act passed during the first part of

While they pay but little attention to
their established rate when making out
a freigh, bill, the remedy Is hard to ar
rive at. few cents on each package
handled amounts to large sum to the
railroads, but it is not SUFFICIENT to
cause each individual to fee a lawyer
and go to other necessary expense TO
recover over-charges. The shippers
are UP against a hard proposition, and
from the laws already enacted is hard
to tell.

Making Things Uncomfortable.
Selma Journal.
The President may be having a good
time calling Hartman liar and may
make hit In some quarters by what
a number of people, but he is not add
ing anything to the comfort of party
leaders and candidates in the future.
The men who have put up the money

machinery will not be quito as ready

: Benevolence.
Clayton Record.
There was not enough benevolence
in the administro- Legislative body that
was In session at the Capitol recently:
came in for a share, but the little pale
faced cotton mill operatives failed to
get any. Instead of being permitted
to spend their days in the open air and
sunshine. midst green fields and wav-
ing trees. they were left among the en-
giTes and many wheels, in the stiff
ling dust and the unceasing din OF
sleighs and shuttles, to grow old and
infirm before they learn what child

Strange situation.

Sumter County people are shipping
ing corn and oats. This state of af-
fairs should make thinking men popder
over the situation and resolve to ;'afso
feed stuff at some beginning right

Wants All Power.
Cullman Democrat.
Conner came up to Birmingham to ap-
point the new police commissioners,
and found that his appointees could
only serve until May; he said that the
part of the Act limiting the service
of his appointees to the May elections
was unfortunate" that he had hoped
that the people wanted the police COM
mission taken out of politics, etc. Now,
isn't 1t a shame that Conner can't APP
point all the officers of the state?
would be pure and real sweet! In
the fight for. an elective railroad COM
mission Corners great cry was for the
"Peepul" to. elect their officers. APP
pointments were vicious when made by
the other fellow; they are quite the
thing when made by Conner.
DulIest of "ShOp" Talk.
