truthful statement of the results OF

city of Birmingham EDITORS Note.)
Birmingham, Ala, March l.-
| When Birmingham voted the local
loption law recently enacted by the
| Alabama legislature, the wise ones
sat up and began to take notice.
One of the best known liquor deal
ers of the state, and man whose
REPUTATION, through his mixing in
Ipolitics and the great business abil-
Iity he has displayed has given him
almost national reputation, said:
.'rhls Is the hardest blow whisky
has ever received in the United
States"
| And his remark is apparently be-
ing justified. The Alabama legisla-
iture almost Immediately proceeded TO
lmake it good by the enactment or
state Prohibition law, effective one
year after Prohibition by local OPP
lcounty What the gentleman re-
'ferred to meant, however, was that a
growing city the size of Birming-

employed in her mines, furnaces and
mills, and with her future yet ahead
OF her in most instances, when 1t
could afford TO vote dry ticket, the
more settled sections OF the country,
and the communities where the So
called "need" of the liquor traffic
was felt less, could ill-afford to keep

point, pure and simple.
Prohibition is succeeding here in a
manner that was never dreamed or
before the experiment was begun.

In both county and city official

police arrests were either "plain"

tation as humanitarian and as a
soclologist is warm In his commen-
dation OF Prohibition and its ef-
fects, which he commends most
warmly.

give 1t to them"
| Judge S. l.. Weaver, of the
criminal court, said in discussing
the Prohibition action in Jefferson,
and Its results:
III find that at least nine-tenths

called for volunteers to be buried Nc
Crea responded. He said he had
been out Of work for a good while and
he thought a good way TO save living
expenses would be to die for week
or two. He was examined by a doc

was then hypnotized and tucked away
in his coffin and covered up under

THE TRUTH ONLY GENTLEMEN.

During the Democratic County Con-
vention last Saturday several OF the
speakers referred 10 the use OF SOL
dies by Gov. Wilson at the present
time TO quell disorder in the State and
sought 10 create the false impression
that soldiers were never resorted 10
in Kentucky except under Republican
Administrations. AS well tell the
truth about il. There has never been
a Democratic Governor of Kentucky
who did not at some time during his
term use the State Militia TO put down
lawlessness. or 10 prevent impending
mob violence. The late Governor
Beckham kept soldiers on duty for
months at Jackson, and also ordered
them TO other points in the STATE.
When he went out OF office he left
company of soldiers on duty at Hop
kinsville, because OF the raid which
had Just occurred there, notwitnstand-
ing Judge Miller said in his speech
before the Convention that Beckham
left the STATE in peace and quietude,
with no soldiers out. Our friend,
Judge Miller has been in the banking
business for sometime. with his mind
more or less occupied with interest
discounts ETC.. and We are therefore
disposed TO excuse his lack of know
ledge of current history. The truth
is that the State had a carnival OF
crime during Beckham's last admin
istration, and most of it went unpun-
ished.
Ii was this condition which caused
the Courier-Journal TO declare Ken
lucky the worst governed STATE in
the Union" The Republican admins
tration has inherited great deal of
it's troubles from the Democratic fail
ure to enforce the law and stamp out
crime in the past four or five years
Let us have the truth about this
whole matter

The meaning of Republican Tariff
revision may be concisely stated AS
follows:
l Maintenance of the Protective sys-
TEN, declared by the late President
Mckinley established"
2 The adjustment import duties to
represent labor and market condi-
tions.
8 If any duties are not high enough
for adequate Protection, they are to be
made higher.

Protection they are to be made low

) The work is to be done intelli-
gently thoroughly and as soon as pos
sible after information necessary TO a
proper performance of the task shall
have been gathered.
There is no doubt that the number
of Americans who favor ,his course is
vastly larger than the number who de-
sire to see Tariff revision undertaken
by the Democratic party, which decla-
res that Protection is robbery" and
has frequently asserted that the
amount of revenue to be yielded is the
only question which properly has any
thing to do with the adjustment of
import duties.-Rocheste Chronicle. -
