 Why, they say that Ohio tried pro hibition and gave 1t up. whom I toll you Ohio never had prohibition law. We voted for 1t in 1883 and gained an enormous majority. but a republican majority stole it from us, and prohibit ton was never tried.
 They say Michigan repudlated pro hibition. A law was passed in that state, but shrewd politicians inserted provisions for the sale of wine and beer. the most insidious instruments for the destruction of man. The liquor traffic debauohed the state. As it will do everywhere, it will make men steal ballot boxes, and multiplies crime. pow erty insanity and pauperism.
 With all the horrible conditions in Maine, with all her blind tigers that state only killed three people by murder as a result of whisky in last year, while Alabama murdered 1907 in four years, and $50 last year.
 If 75 per cent of our murders. 90 per cent of our crimes and moro than half of our paupers. insane and suffer CTS are chargeable to the state which permits this liquor traffic, how can that state be called happy and a stata of the Lord?
 Now, the third institution is ths church, the means of salvation for men which points to the good that is in us, The saloon points to the i'll. There can be no harmony.
 "The man who can weigh the salva % taa of the community with the al misL'y dollar is certainly traitor to his cotptry and to the kindgom of God" pr. Lawrence reviewed the con- ditions in tne state, claiming that by the first of next year 40 or 90 counties will be dry.
 His closing shos was to the effect that some of thess great fellows who talk about the dollaf are guilty of running hop jack stands and the evi- dence will be brought out against tn GIT before the campaign closes"

 THE GREAT ISSUE Children and Homes Against the Almighty Dollar FATHERHO0D WILL WIN Man Who Weighs Salvation of Com munlty With Almighty Dollar Is
 Traitor to Kingdom of
 God"
.FATHERHOOD WILL WIN

There is today in the city of Bir- mingham a manhood so alien to all that is truest in life that I wonder it Is able to hold up its head when 1t so basely endeavors to commercialize our young men. The only parallel that you can find in history takes you back to the commercialism of the Orient when the perverted fath CTS and mothers took out their children to the block and sold them into slavery.
 Such are the men who are talking to us about having made the imperial county of Jefferson and ask. will you follow the lead of this Brooks Law renee, a citizen of Ohi, who does not own a dollars worth of property in Jefferson county2'

Brooks Lawrence Is not the issue. but 1t Is the children whom you hold in your arms, and who play about your knee, the homes of the country, or the almighty dollarw-Brooks Lawrence, superin- tendent of the Alabama Anti-Saloon league.

MASS MEETING AT
 WESLEY CHAPEL
PROHIBITION IS DISCUSSED BY
 BUSINESS MEN AT METHODIST
 CHURCH-JOHN B. CULPEPPER COMING TO CONDUCT REVIVAL.

mass meeting was held last night Ut Wesley chapel, and the little church was packed to the doors with earnest prohibi- tion fighters. It was a laymen's meet ing, and only business men made ad- dresses
 The Rev. Dr. Haynes, pastor of the church, presided, and the opening prayer was led by F. H. Gamble.
 Those who made short talks were J. P. Jackson, B. c. Bynum w. J. Gilmore, a mine operator; J. E. Backwood, R. F. Lovelady and w. L. Sessions, chairman of the central committee.
 MT. Sessions was voted unanimous syni- pathy and every man in the audience promised to vote for prohibition The Rev. s. B. Johnson closed the meeting with prayer.
 Wesley chapel has been fortunate enough 10 secure the services of John B. Culpepper, we'll known in Birmingham, to conduct a series of evangelistic meetings. Mr. Culpepper is a man of national repu- tation and a speaker of marked ability. While here he will also make addresses in one of the theatres, and will be enlisted by the prohibition committee. The re- vival will begin Wednesday night.

ANTS ARE LABELED SEED
 TICKERS" IN BIG MEETING
LABOR DAY TO BE VERY
 LARGELY OBSERVED BUT
 WITHOUT STREET PARADE

This Is Labor Day. While it may bring huge drops of precipitation to the brow of poor mortal man. it will not be the sweat by which he earns his daily bread for this Is the laboring mans day of eel ebration. It will be truly a holiday.
 Only one delivery of mail will be made in the business district and Sunday hours will prevail for mall for the residence sections. The banks will be closed all day, and practically all the offices and stores will be closed at noon.
 The greatest event of the day wil be the Jefferson County Orphans Home field sports entertainment at the Alabama State Fair grounds. This will be a grand affair, and will include some fast motor- cycle racing under the direction of the Birmingham Mortorcycle club. There will be all manner of innocent sport and a great barbecue. An exciting feature will be lady's gold watch contest. The candidates for the watch are two prom'- nent and popular young ladies, one of them living in Ensley and the other in Pratt City. P. H. Linnehan, the jew eler, says that the watch to be voted
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-09-02

away is by far the handsomest and cost Hest ever offered in this district
 Ten thousand tickets for the orphanage entertainment have been sold already, and the crowd will be probably the largest ever gathered In Jefferson coun- ty. In addition to the features already mentioned there will be music by Me- molfs band, dancing and country store,
 There will be no Labor Day parade. It has been the custom in the past for mem bers of the different labor organizations to march in full rank through the streets of Birmingham, and many expensive floats have been included in the parade. The Birmingham Trades Council recent ly decided to have no parade. This will be the general rule throughout the coun- try.
 The cutting out of the parade will mean the saving of several thousands of doi- lars to the unions here.
 There will be the usual celebration, however, at the different parks.
 The two games of baseball at West End park between Birmingham and New Or leans will draw several thousand fans out. There will be a morning game and an afternoon game.

Three Great Institutions.

"If we are going to enjoy continued prosperity, our happiness depends upon three institutions which must be pro tected at all hazards, the home, tho state and the church.
 The home is a human agent. but 1t is the foundation of all our happiness and the making of all our men.
 There Is today in the city of Bir mingham a manhood so alien to all that Is truest in life that I wonder 1t is able to hold up it's head when 1t Is so our young men. The only pareel that that you can find in history take you back to the commercialism of the Orient when the perverted fathers and moth CTS took out heir children to the block and sold them into slavery.
 The fathers of this day will halt at this Not single real young man is there who does not look forward eager ly to that time when he shall have chill dren of his own, tn high est and noblest ambition which can come to the hu- man heart.
 Tt resolves itself into this premise, are we to weigh fatherhood against dollars and cents?
 Are we to listen to the men who are talking to us about having made the Imperial county of Jefferson and ask Will you follow the lead of this Brook Lawrence, Il citizen of Ohio, who does not own q dollars worth of property in Jefferson county?'

CHIEF WEIR CATCHES SIX WHITE GAMBLERS
FIRST LANDED IN TWO MONTHS. LAST NIGHT A NUMBER OF DENs WERE CLOSED FOR SAME REASON.

The first white gamblers that have been captured in Birmingham in more lhan two months were arrested Saturday night by Chief Wier in the old OBrien hotel. The chief was out making a gen. eral round and landed a bunch playing Tn a room.
 The evidence is thought to be good, and convictions may follow. Six white men were arrested and immediately given bonds.
 Last night whether on account of 1t being Sunday or for reasons polite, three of the largest places were not running.
 Acting Mayor Parker still insists that the gamblers be cleared out Nothing of- ficial has been given out from the police department to the officers, but it is known that a campaign is already under way

Blessed the Nation.

Psalms 2S, 12, Blessed Is the na- ton whose God Is the Lord let me read 1t three times. Blessed Is the state whose God is the Lord Blessed Is the city whose God Is the Lord' for it all means the same thing. The strength, history and life of them all depend upon this faith in the Lord"
 Thus began the sermon addressed to the congregation of the First Cumber- land Presbyterian church yesterday at the II o'clock service by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Lawrence. the president of the Anti-Saloon league.
 Dr. Lawrence was introduced by the Rev. Dr. I. D. Steele, who took occasion to say that if anybody In Alabama is responsible for pr. Lawrence, he Is that man. q was instructed to secure an other superintendent when Dr. Young left us and after writing to several men I induced pr. Lawrence to ac- cept. In sixteen months he has wrought wonders, and I. as well as every other member of the Antl-Saloon league, am satisfied with his record"
 pr. Lawrence began with the early history of America, tracing possibly some commerclalism In the old Spanish explorers.
 Such may have been the cause of their sufferings, their trials and their labor, but when we come to the history of that colony which landed on the sh ore of Virginia with the Bible in one hand and the sword in the other 1t is an undying fact that over all their ac- tlons and above all in their hearts was an undying love for the Lord Jesus Christ and for humanity.
