University, October 24.-(Special)-In the solemn stiffness following the foot ball debacle of last Saturday. the occa- sional "wopping+ of a random baseball in a glove can be heard, all of which brings on both a retrospective and an- ticipatory mood. Looking backward across the lapse of six months one sees the Crimson White team winning the cham ponship of the south The first to in vaoe the Alabama diamond was Howard college. which left after giving the Uni versity a good start of three games won on the seasons schedule. Next came the Commodores from Vanderbilt, who dropped the only two games played. So far Alabamas record was an unbroken string of victories Louisiana State uni- versity, however, the next on the sched ule, loomed up unexpectedly strong and walked away with both of the games played But the boys from the bayous maintained their supremacy only short time, for in the next two series Alabama mopped mp with Auburn and Mississippi, both of whom had defeated the Lous- anians The last to fall victim to Ala bama was Mercer.
 Not content with her victories in the south. Alabama, after commencement, inr vaded the east, where she met Dart mouth. Fordham, Lehigh. Williams, Tufts and Brown. And while the south erners did not win 8 game on this trip, their record was none to be ashamed of, for with a team worn out by long and

 Against Each Other By Politics?

word of warning should be sounded ere it is too late.
 If on next Monday the school children of our city are to be used as electioneer- ing instruments in behalf of prohibition, is it not fair to assume that all so en- gagged will have become mpregnated by the vileE antagonism towards those chil- dren, who, because of their staying in school, will be regarded as A.NT1-PRQIII- BITION1STS? Anyone that fails to see this must be suffering with purblindness.
 If this be true, then our children who should be guided and influenced by love and mutual respect toward one another will on account of this partisanship be- come arrayed into opposite factions, out of which bitterness and hate must be the outcome, which must leave their impress upon the plastic minds of our children for years to come.
 There is no question as to the fact that the coming election will be very exciting Things will be dcne, words will be spoken that ought not to be used in the presence of children; therefore, grave danger may be Justly apprehended.
 Every fair-minded man woman should guard against the planting of the seeds of prejudice and hate between child and child. Every thinking father and mother should take into consideration tho possible physical injuries and immoral in- fluences coming out of an exciting cleo tion.
 Every fair-minded citizen must deplore that the executive committee of the Board of Education issued the above eard be it understood that 1t Is not the intention to question the purpose or motive for so do- ing. but it is the purpose of this paper to say that i1 the opinion of many of our citizens that they made mistake.
 It may or it may not be too late 10 undo it, but if 1t can be done not mo- ment should be lost.
 The executive committee of the Board of Education seems to have been desirous of washing their hands of the grave re- sponsibiity of that act by thrusting 1t upon the shoulders of Dr. Phillips, tho superintendent. Is the reader not justi- fled in reaching such a conclusion? If this be true, Dr. Phillips will be damned" If he does and damned if he don't. Hence the question that every parent must ask himself is it right to place pr. Phillips in such a position? Either side or view that he may have or take will be a serious damage to our pub which the best years of his noble life have been given, thereby giving this commun- ity a school system without rival or peer in this country.
 Will our sober thinking people stand for the perpetuation of our schools thus created, or will they be led of by de- plorabe partisanships? This is the ques- tion.

stormy sea voyage and exhausted by continuous work and long jumps, they played almost every team they met to a standstil losing most of the games by a margin of one or two scores.
 But looking backward at the record already made is but pastime and source of satisfaction. It is the future that is of vital interest to all supporters of the Crimson and White. glance forward reveals prospects of the best baseball team that ever carried the varsity eolors to victory.
 To begin with there are just seven of last seasons nine on hand this year. Chapman, pitcher, and King catcher, are gone, but there are on hand, Noojn, Pope Hannon, Paul Jones, Smith, Eos ter and Bryce Jones. This, however, is but moderate part of the material from which Coach Pollard will have to select his nine. Vaughan and Watson will com plete for receiving honors. while Sturd- want Thorington and rutwiler will help Smith in the pitching department. Then there is Bestor Ward who was ineligible last year, catcher. in or outfeder. Shrop- shire Waite and the Pratt Boys, two of the best known amateurs in the state, will make the old infeld hit up lively gait to hold their places. Of outfeders there is no want The beauty of 1t all is that if past records are good for any thing, and the south does not have an ex- ceptional crop of pitchers next spring, the Alabama team from left field to catcher should hit at almost 200 clip.
 With almost his entire old team back, and such a wealth of new material on hand, Coach Pollard is planning another invasion of the cast, from which he hopes to come off with a pretty good string of victories

 Both games win be interesting, how ever beyond question. In Tuscaloosa, the followers of the game are betting on Alabama to defeat Georgia. in spite of the woeful showing against Sewanee. In Atlanta, the odds are ? to 1 on Georgia. As stated, the alumni in Montgomery will serve a banquet in honor of the visiting teams.

It is not the purpose of this article to discuss the question of Prohibition or 'Anti-Prohibition" Our community has had much opportunity to learn the merits and demerits of this all-absorbing ques- tion. It is the object of this article to take into consideration the card that ap- peared in the Birmingham News of Oc- tober 23, which reads as follows: Children Can Absent Themselves from
 School.
 ''Upon the desire of their parents, any school children will be excused from at tendance at school on Monday, prohibi- tion election day.
 'The matter of allowing the children to absent themselves was decided this morning by the executive committee of the Board of Education.
 The following letter. signed by these members, has been sent to Dr. J. II. Phil lips, superintendent of the schools: I've, the undersigned members of the Board of Education, hereby give our con sent to the superintendent of pubic schools excusing any pupil without pen atty who may present request from pa rents or guardians that they be absent on Monday, the 18th inst.

 JAMES J. SMITH,
 "'B A. THOMPSON,
 Board of Education f" It is fair to assume that this card is the outcome of request made which is believed to be in the interest Of pro- hibition. If this be true, it is a question that interests this community much more than the question whether prohibition shah prevail or fail.
 All fair-minded citizens will admit that this community has been stirred from center to circumference, arraying neigh bor against neisibor, men against men. women against women, arousing in the hearts of them sentiments antagonistic to charity and arraigning the honesty and integrity in many instances between man and man.
 Much as this is to be deplored, the above card has raised the lid of Pan dora's box completely. It does not re- uuire prophetic vision to forecast the re- suit. This is no question as to the fact that there will be hundreds of parents who will make a request to have their children excused from attendance at school on Monday next, the 18th of Oc- tober
 On the other hand. there will be hun dreds of parents who will not do SO, and thus keep their children in school and out of politics. It is fair to question what IS to be apprehended as to the outcome and effect of the request and the granting of it as it appears in the above card
