SCHOOL FUND CUT DOWN.

The citizens Of Mobile. Ala. in their
wisdom, have voted down a special tax
to reimburse the public schools of that
locality for the loss Of $4,000 in reye-
nue. caused by the enactment of the
state prohibition law. This will curtail
the school appropriation to such an ex-
tent that 1t will be necessary to cut
down the salaries of the teachers and
lengthen the vacations.
One would have supposed that the
tax would have been voted by an over
whelming majority. if only to show
that the people were ready to 60 down
into their pockets and to provide
money for the education of their chill
dren rather than to have the revenue
come from tax on liquor selling. The
event developed quite a different state
of feeling, however
