TEMPERANCE
AND EARLY. CLOS.
 ING BILLS DISCUSSED.
pr, LOvelady Expresses Confident Be lief O'clock Measure Wilf Pass House Without Difficulty, as Would Other Anti-Whis-
 key Bills,

Members of the House Committee held an informal meeting in the lobby of the New Exchange Hotel yesterday afternoon. The two bills that were most discussed were the anti shipping bill, which has already been reported favorabiy, and the bill for early clos ing. Several people appeared before this informal committee to argue these questions pro and con.
 Dr. Lovelady, who is the author of the local option bill and strong tenn perance man of the House. was the subject of attack. and he listened to all who had anything to say on the question. It Is extremely doubtful that these arguments had any effect on the Doctor. who expressed himself as of the belief that while some men might be put to some annoyance by these bills. they should sacrifice themselves for the good of mankind generally.
 It was pointed out to Dr. Lovelaiy that the anti-shipping law would nave the effect of enriching the wholesaler at the expense of the liquor dealers who lived in the counties next adjoin- ing g prohibition county. He was nsk- ed whether any wholesale liquor deal CT had opposed this measure, and he replied that tbere had been none. sage of this.1aw will prevent man having whiskey to his residence?" he was asked. and. in reply, said:
 congress came very nearly passing
 
 the shipping of liquor from one state to another There was only one reason why this was not done and that vas that one of the members ot the com mittee favoring the bill died, and there was appointed in his place a man who opposed it.
 There has been no wholesale liauor dealer who has opposed the anti ship ping bill, and I fully understand wiy the question Is asked. We do not cx- pect by this bill to prevent a marf-bav ing liquor shipped to him from a dis tant point: that is. outside the State boundary line, but we do expect that I by preventing it being shipped in from a neighboring county we will put a stop to the small trafficing."
 Speaking of the early closing law. he said that he had not the slightest doubt that 1t would he passed by the House. If tf were left to the House, he said. there would not be a saloon in the State of Alabama. and he knew that any bill that would help along this idea would meet with the approval of the members of the House Most of the trouble bred in saloons came during the evening hours. and, in large towns especially. the traffic could be better regulated by enforcing an early clos ing law.

Child Labor.
Birmingham Ledger.


 Governor Patterson of TennesDeot will call congress to meet In Octo.i Der to consider this question in Ten nessee. He will invite the manufac- ,urers and leaders of organized lAboe to meet. s,
 Presumably then Governor Patterson will represent the children who are hired out by their parents to labor in mills and factories. We hope he will He Is the Governor of all the people Of Tennessee. and he is~the Governor of the little ones condemned to hard la- bor by their parents. It Is the saddest, thing In humanity to see q child de- priyed of It's right to play and to bA happy.
 So when Governor Patterson calls tAo men who work children and the labor leaders, We hope that he will stand there as the representative of the ltt- tie ones who are condemned to Woe1ci in mills and that he will see that only dire necessity shall force the little oneos who are some day to be men and wo-s men of Tennessee to break their bodily health by labor at an age when they should be gathering a store of health and happiness to last through life.

business continues on an active
scale. There has been no recession
of consequence in sales of goods go
ing into consumption. The masses
are prosperous and spending freely.
Our farming classes are richer than
ever in their history and better able
than ever to Withstand any agricul-
tural setback. Fortunately, there Is
no prospect of the latter at this writ
ing. The only sign of recession in
any direction is that referred to
above. the stoppage of new business
enterprises imposed by the limitations
of the money market. Bankers in all
parts of the country are becoming ex-
ceedingly conservative and are effec-
lively applying the brakes on Ques-
tionable operations. In no part or
the country can any pessimism be
discovered corresponding to that which
exists on Manhattan Island south of
Fulton street. That seems to be the
bluest spot on earth just now"

CONFTSCATTON.

Some of the Wall street brokers who
send out financial reviews to the news
papers of the country are having a
tough time over the Standards fine
One review that comes to this desk
from a firm that has always upheld
Hartman and Rockefeller and their
kind and has blamed President Roose-
welt for every slump in stocks, is now
yelling, "Confiscation!" at the top of
its voice. and all because the Standard
was fined 20 million dollars.
The financial review issued by this
firm asserts that the Standard was
absolutely innocent of wrong doing in
the Alton case. and it mis-states the
facts even more deliberately than did
the Standard officials themselves.
Not only are these people having
trouble over the Standards fines, but
their nerves are racked because
Georgia and Alabama made the rail-
roads down there obey their laws
while the courts are passing on the
questions involved.
If this be confiscation. let us have
some more of 1t.

Mars was the god of war, and since

here. Over in Korea the Japanese
have swooped down and taken full

In the absence of any other cause to
which to attribute these troubles, why
