 This is not a political question; 1t is one that involves the life and death of hu- man beings-the life and death of souls. the purity or ruin of thousands of human. lives; the uplifting or degradation of q great state and community; the5snatching as firebrands from the burning, many weak creature, who will go down with the cracking flames and crashing tim bers in the superstructure of human, hopes where lives will pass out in the lurid blare and the blackened smoke of llfes smouldering ruins, to return no more forever.
 A great wealthy people can with brain and tact solve all of the financial matters that need adjustment after the weightier matters have been considered and pro vided for.
 question of morals and purer living. that is worth no more than to be weighed in the scales with a dollar, is unworthy of a great peoples consideration. Many a mans own life is measured by his estl- mate of the value of others.
 To say that prohibition will not pro- hibit, will give equal license and argu- ment in favor of the abolition of lae laws against murder, arson, burglary graft and the long train of crimes against the commission of which our statutes provide penalties; all of which crimes are committed to greater or lesser degree in spite of the prohibitory laws; will any one be childish enough to cl tim and argue that because these prohibited crimes are committed at times. md peo- ple at times break the laws, that, there fore. all of these laws should be abol- ished? Does not the frequent and resk- less of breaking these laws rather oe- ment public opinion to larger extent in demanding that these laws be nore stringently enforced?
 If so, then why make an exception in the case of the proposed law that strives to remove the root of the evil and the foundation for most of the crimes and criminals that crowd our court houses and jails and penitentia- res?
 What would people look like going about the jails and stockades and streets clamoring because the law has baan broken and thieves and murderers, cut throats and vicious, villainous, debauched drunkards have defed the law, that, therefore, all of these laws are unwise and should be abolished, and that these outlaws should be given free license to commit their wickedness?

We will, if the law is sustained by a healthy public opinion, inaugurate an era of home building among a large class that would otherwise never have att tempted to build a home, and that thou sands of the best citizens of various communities will be attracted to Bir mingham and will make their home here.
 "King Cotton," with his white banners of peace and plenty, is marching to the relief of the stringency occasioned by untimely legislation, and we expect real estate to move more freely as the crops are marketed.
 When 95 per cent of the cultivated refined ladies of any community or country; when the self-sacrificing, un- selfish, devoted mothers, wives and daugh- ters, none of whom are seeking political place or gain and whose pure lives have nothing but love and sacrifice to yield as an offering to humanity, express them selves in favor of a proposition involving good morals, social well-being, orderly conduct, conscious responsibility vs erazed and clouded brairs; depend upon 99 times out of 100 of every such cases, they are correct and their opinions, found- ed on purity correct living and an ele- vated plane wrought through lives de- voted to the well-being of others, such

 But, you'll catch it some day, no mat ter how bold a front you put on; you'll have every bit of the starch taken ouc of your puffed-up egotistical opinions, and you'll wake up in the sweet bye and bye, with an enlarged, broader view of those opinions that you were prone to discredit, and a greatly diminished idea of your own superior wisdom (when you discover the real power behind the throne); and when YOU reach that point, then for the first time in your lives you will have begun to imbibe (properly) and turn likewise into bart of the real "salt of the earth that saved you"
 Our southern ladies seldom as a body ask the 'lords of creation to think and act their way, and when they do, the aforesaid "lords'' may depend upon it the motive is pure and unselfish and designed to make greater men and a greater people of those who have the wisdom to grace fully, reverently bow to their wiser coun- sel and wishes.

OBSERVATIONS and QUOTATIONS

The excitement in New York with their stock panics, runs on their oldest and strongest banks has had but little per- ceptible influence on local market con- ditions. The south, and Alabama in par ticular, is more independent today than at any time in Its past history of dis turbing influences in the outside markets of the world.
 We have been done more harm right here at home than a panic in New York could cause in bringing about conditions that has shaken the confidence of out side capital in investments in our state.
 We should all thank the good Lord that he has blessed this great state so bounti- fully with natural wealth that it can not only with composure contemplate the financial upheavals in the east, but can even survive a state policy sufficient to utterly ruin any ordinary state and continue advancing placdly along the even tenor of our way as though we really did not have any job in the whole state of Alabama sufficient to attract and keep the most accomplished ''fool killer" busy enough to kill himself working over time, if he were a conscientious sort of fool and wanted to do his full duty for afflicted people.
 The real estate market is as firm and
 
 are some things that we don't like, even about real good, solid, strong things like Gibralter, and that is when we want to move the 'pesky thing somehow It doesn't move fast enough, and this IS largely attributable to hardening money market caused partly by the unsettled and unsatisfactory conditions in the east and rendered more aecute at times locally by an unwise state policy that has discouraged outside investments in our state and brouglH about a condition of affairs that is having a tendency to check the growth of the city and state unless some remedial action is taken to restore this lost confidence and relieve this evil influence that has gone abroad.
 The large loan companies have, on ac- count of unsatisfactory legislative atti- tude, nearly all left the city, and most of them have given notice of calling III loans already made as they mature, and when we remember that it is this cheap 5, 51h and 6 per cent money that has en- abled our people to develop rapidly tnis city and district it may be readily re- alized with the disturbing influences In the financial centers how unfortunate and untimely it was for our state to discour- age them from remaining when their cheap, long time loans are in demand ia all quarters of the United States.
