 Those votaries of the national game fin Montgomery who so habitually usej rain checks during the late lamented season have only one kick against the weather man.

County Treasurer Pays Out of she
 Fund.
 Huntsville, Oct. 10.-(Special.)- The Treasurer of Madison County nas begun to pay all claims against the fine and forfeiture fund of the county as they are presented. making county script worth its face value.
 For some time the fund has been sufficient to pay all claims and this has been done every six months. From now on the claims will be paid when ever they are presented. At the end of each six months in the future the surplus of the fund will be devoted to the payment of officers' script.
 County script in the recent past has been worth as low as 10 cents on the dollar. The change in value is the re- suit of the high price received by the county for its convict labor and the good contracts made by the county of- fcials with the labor contractors.

Invasion of Homes |.

In conclusion, Judge Walker said:
 If, under the constitution. the Leg islature has the right to designate homes as places where liquor may not be kept, has 1t not the right also to invade your home to see that the law Is observed?
 This amendment would put you al the mercy of the missionary from Ohio
 q believe all that Is necessary tc defeat this proposition is for the people come to a realization of the exact meaning of the plain words of the amendment. Judge Weakley says they do not mean what they say. However those who read them know that they will mean the invasion of the home and there will be no freedom of action anywhere. I do not believe that the people are ready for surrender of this kind.
 "The Legislature proposes to regu- late your conduct in your own home and possibly later prescribe what you shall eat and wear. There will be nc limit to the legislation that might be enacted. The tendency is entirely wrong to give Legislature unre- strained right to regulate your pri- vate conduct.
 If the people snow, by their vote that they are ready for this. they are admitting that they are no longer ca- pablo of self government and they ought to have a guardian to prescribe

xV--A6VGClAI.l-"s o. Bowling. of Dadeville, Solicitor af the First Judicial Circuit, addressed an au- dience of between 200 and 250. persons at the Calhoun County court house Saturday evening for the proposed amendment. t.s.. Section 2 of the proposed amend ment. MT. Bowling said. was nothing but an effort on the part of the amenders to match their ingenuity against the ingenuity of the opponents of prohibition. sthose who undertake to defeat liquor laws.
 Following Mir. Bowling, Dr. J. c. Anderson. pastor of the First Presby- terian Church. made a short address He said that he had subscribed to what he considered the strongest anti amendment paper in Alabama. had at- tended all the addresses against the amendment and had studied the ques- tion from all sides, and that ine had come to the conclusion that there was only one course to pursue; and that he considered that he would be untrue to his calling If he did not raise his voice in favor of the proposed amendment.
 w. P. Acker spoke for the amend ment, uniting with the others in ridi. culing the allegation of the anti amenders that they are for local op- ton.
 Mir. Acker spoke in the morning at Jacksonville. together with G. D. Kline and L. W. Grant. while Ebert n Willett. of this city. and others. spoke against the amendment on the same day, but at a previous hour.
 In the afternoon. Dr. J. c. Simpson. pastor of the First Methodist Church. and J. T. Fain. spoke to an audience of country voters at Friendship.

THE PROBLEM OF CRETE.

The report that Turkey intends To reestablish-
her garrison in Crete may or may not be true
1t is not intrinsicaly impossible or improbable
Such a course would indeed. be politically and
automatically logical, and therefore i'm n meas
ure justifiabe. Al any rate Turkey has asked
that the Greek officers i'm Crete shall be recaIled
and the Greek flag, which has been raised above
official buildings in that island. shall be taken
down. That also seems reasonable Crete is
surely part of the Turkish Empire All the
powers recognize IL 10 be that. 1t is true that
Tour OF the powers some time ago interviewed i'm
the affairs Of Crete and sent military forces
there, but they did the same I'm Macedonia and
In both regions they specifically recognized the
ultimate sovereignty of the Sultan OF Turkey.
when the constitutional revolution was effected
IN Turkey and a trustworthy government was
established at COnstantinople they voluntarily
Withdrew their Intervention from Macedonia in
token OF confidence in and sympathy with the
new order OF affairs, and Turkey resumed con-
trol of those provinces The same course IS
logical In Crete The powers have withdrawn
tleir forces, and the natural consequence would
De Tor Turkey 10 resume actual control of ber
insular province
IL is true that nearly ninetenths Of the island
efs are Greek ChrlstiaOs who would prefer an

be a potent argument for such dsposltion of tho
island. But on precisely the same prIncnIe

Turkey and divided among Greece Seryia and

BARGE CANAL BOND INTEREST.

An amendment to the state constitution
which will come before the voters next fall and
which is being attacked by opponents OF the
barge canal. is that Of Senator Henry w HILL
Of Buffalo. affecting the interest rate on canal
bonds. This amendment gives the legislature
power 10 alter the interest rate on state bonds
offered for sale. TO accord with the conditions Of
the money market. The occasion for u was the
situation which existed for year or more when
the state could not find a market for its per
cent canal bonds, on account Of the high interest
rates generally prevailing
At that time. ii will be remembered the city
Of New York had 10 advance the interest rate on
its securities TO ~ per cent in order to sell
them at par. The state met the situation partIy
by buying the canal bonds itself for it's sinking
fund and partly through a law granting 10 saw
ings hanks and trust companies rebate on the
tax on their surplus prOpOrtiOned TO the amount
Of canal bonds they held. This virtually raised
the interest rate on the bonds
When the people voted on the canal appropria-
tion the interest rate was fixed at 3 per cent.
because il was then believed that the state could
readily borrow money at that rate But since
then conditions have so changed that I'm the
highway law, recently passed. the interest rate
on highway bonds is fixed at 4 per cent An at
tempt is being made 10 create the impression
that this amendment is In the interest of bond
brokers' but il has no other object than TO assist
the carrying out of great public work which
the people have authorized The state cannot
sell bonds for which there is no market and il
gains nothing by raising interest rates by indi-
rectiOn. Sound finance requires that the de-
mands of the money market be met directly and
that is what the proposed amendment permits
the Legislature 10 do

CO-OPERATION.

II is an interesting glimpse Of the costly lack
OF cooperation between the various city depart
mentS which the Committee Of One Hundred
has let the public obtain through its report upon
the Dock Department. In excavating the South
Brooklyn piers that department dredged half
a million dollars worth of sand. Near 10y Park
Commissioner Kennedy was improving the
Shore Road and he needed sand. The natural
thing would have been for the Dock Depart
ment 10 turn over TO the Park Department the
sand which it wanted 10 get rid of. But no,
the Dock Commissioner sent his sand out to sea
and had il dumped. and the Park Commissioner
bought the sand he needed for road improve
ment
Moreover this was not through failure of one
department TO know the others needs. Con-
troller Metz, it appears, suggested that the
sand dredged 10y the Dock Department be used
for road making. There must. therefore. have
been discussion of cooperation but it fell
through for some reason that is not apparent;
perhaps. for the reason that cooperation be-
tween the different departments of the city Is
almost unprecedented.
Beside this il is only fair to set a beau
tiful example of cooperation, If only 10 prove
that cooperation is not impossible in this city
When the Commissioners of Accounts investi-
gated the park administration I'm another Dor
ough they found that certain employees Of the
parks had been occupied for several days in
digging a cellar on certain private property
Here was scandal! Nay. nay Only co-opera-
ton The park administration needed earth for
grading 4 certain man OF sufficient political
eminence wanted cellar dug. What more fit
ting than that the park administration should
obtain its earth while incidentally digging the
cellar of the person of sufficient political emf
nence? How could the uses Of cooperation be
more beautifully illustrated? If commissioners
would only cooperate with one another as
readily as they do with persons of SUFFICIENT
political emnence-but. If they did. what would
become OF Tammany Hall?
