ANOTHER BLOW TO BOOZE.

Those discerning individuals, that 10
those who are self-impressed with
their own powers of percepton' VINO
predicted a few months ago at the
close of the sessions of most OF tne
legislatures in the various states InoI
the crest of the prohibition wave nau
heen reached and that from that time
~, 1ro,,ld come a reaction, should take
a. peep at the things which are happen
ing in Alabama these days
The lower house of the legislature OF
that state passed recently by a large
majority a prohibition measure which
&c probably more drastic in its terms
+ban anv other like statute in any
state in the union. BY it's provisions
NO liouors can be sold, no advertise
ments of liquors can appear In any
naner or upon any billboard, and no
train can leave a car that contains
liquor or beer upon any track In the
state. No place for the sale OF any
sort of goods may be called saloon
nor can the word saloon be USED. OI-
ficers may raid places under suspicion
and destroy all liquors found In them
without waiting for the courts to con-
vict the owners of such liquor OF V1o-
lating the law and then condemn the
LIQUOR. such as is the procedure mere
in Kansas. The presence of an inter-
nal revenue license, whether or not
LIQUOR is found on the premises with
it. is prima facie evidence of guilt ana
the proprietors of any place where the
license is displayed may be arrested.
But that it not all. Sheriffs are
specifically directed to discover all
persons who secure internal revenue IL
censes from the federal government,
and on the peril of losing their posi-
lions these officers of the law must
clean out the places belonging to such
men.
Then again, on notice and warrant
any place where there is frequent as
sembling of men may be raided upon
suspicion of being a drinking resort
and every corporation of whatever
kind must promise, when charter Is
issued to it, to refrain from bringing
liquors of any kind into the state and
dispensing them or handling them in
any way. The violation Of this pledge
will revoke the license automatically.
This provision will place the incor-
porated social club that wishes to pro-
vide a place where it's members can
drink liquor hors de combat.
II. fact, the entire law is the most
stringent prohibition measure that has
ever passed any legislature and it
stands good chance of going through
the senate of Alabama and becoming
a law by executive approval. This
you'd appear to indicate that the pro-
hibition wave which has been sweeping
over the country of late is gaining
strength with each stride it makes.

TOPEKA'S GROWTH.

It may be getting to be something
of an old story to refer in these COL
umns to the present growth and de-
velopment of Topeka in all ways.
But, after all, it's the old stories that
are the best ones. And assuredly
none of them can be better or more
interesting than the story of the bril-
liant future prospects of this city.
even if the telling of it is done rather
poorly.
Attention is directed in these chan
nels again by the records to date in
the Office of the fire chief where the
building permits are issued. These
show that an unprecedented boom is
on, one of the substantial and healthy
sort, in the building world in Topeka.
There has been nothing like it in the
history of the town. Since the first of
January to date permits have been is
sued for the erection of new build
ings residences and business houses,
which will cost, according to the esti-
mates of their builders, $1,2O5,452.
In the previous history of this city
there has never been a year during
which period of time more than
100000 has been expended in
building construction. With two
thirds of the year 1909 not yet passed
this record has been exceeded by
nearly $25O.0OO. No evidence can be
found that there is to be any
diminution of activity in this respect
1t is therefore reasonable to assume
that By the time the next four and a
half months have rolled along. per-
mits will have been issued for new
buildings which will bring the total
expenditures for them for the entire
year up to more than $1,500,0OO.

length on the particularly satisfying
conclusions that it is possible to draw
from these vigorous statistics of the
city's prosperity and growth. Suffice
it to say that Topeka is now rapidly
coming into her own. But. at that,
she is merely developing on scale
that is commensurate with her many
and wonderful advantages as a de-
sirable place to live and do business
in. That she will continue to flourish
goes without saying. The fine spirit
for progress OF her business men and
her residents one and all will see to
this. Indeed, Topeka's march to
supremacy has but just begun and
drums to beat a retreat have not been
provided for the procession.
A couple of years ago there was
considerable talk about Topeka and a
population of $4,000 by 1911. For
some reason or other it died out.
Perhaps this is Just as well for
work to develop the town has taken
the place of the talk about what it
ought to be. And while nothing is
being said about the population of the
future, the steps are being taken by
the Commercial club. the Advertising
club, the Real Estate Exchange and
various other kindred bodies which
will make Topeka a city of $4,000
souls before many years have passed
away.
