Prohibition Assured In Alabama.

In February the state legislature pass.
ed a local option bill, making the county
the unit, and since that time nineteen
counties in various parts of the state
have held elections and ''gone dry" In
as many more counties, plans are being
made for prohibition campaigns. Mont
gomery, the state capital, notorious
for its saloons, is the last to swing into
line, and We believe it will make good.
Perhaps the hardest fight in the state
is now being waged in Jefferson county,
with Birmingham the center of the con.
fict. Rev. Brooks Lawrence, superin.
tendent of the state Anti. Saloon League,
who has been through many prohibition
campaigns, says he considers this one of
the most strategic the country has ever
known.
The W. c. T. U. is bearing a brave
part. The state president and treasurer,
Mrs. Jeffries and Mrs. Weisel, and the
local union of Birmingham, led by Mrs.
Sibley, formerly president of Georgia w.
c. T. T., are holding meetings daily in
every precinct in the county. Mrs. Curt.
is of Texas and Mrs. Armor of Georgia,
and Mr.. Clinton n. Howard, of Roches-
ter, N. ", have been engaged by the
w. C. T. T., and will be given from one
to three weeks each to this state cam.
pa;gn.
The Mems Prohibition Club has many
speakers also in the field, and the great.
est energy and enthusiasm prevail in the
temperance ranks.
las goes Birmingham, so goes the
state, is heard IN every hand, Our
great industrial city, with its magnif-
cent resources, and thousands of work
men, has been the scene of so much
crime through the liquor traffic that at
last the people have become aroused, and
demand a change. The battle is on. The
opposing forces are strong, but we are
confident that prohibition will win
Union signal.

New Form OF Temperance Work
In Connecticut.

The Nutmeg State" should be proud
of the fact that it is one of the first to
start in a work new to this country.
The federated unions of Hartford county
and neighboring towns have been plan.
ninS it all summer and on October l.,
thirty.fve trolley cars started out from
Hartford, having among their advertis-
ing cards this placard: "A saloon can no
more be run without boys than a saw
mill without logs. The question is,
whose boys shall they be-yours or
mine?'
The contract is for eight months,
while closed cars are being used, and the
placards will be changed each month.
Meriden union has also voted to bear
the expense of putting placards in four
lines of cars.
1t is hoped that by another year every
trolley car in the state will carry facts
concerning alcohol and its dangers and
the harmfulness of cigarets. Probably
more people of all classes will be reached
in this way than by temperance lectures.
