oovEaNoa Conner REsUkED.

The people Of Alabama have clearly
demonstrated that they do not want
prohibition written into their State
Constitution. though Governor Conner
exerted every effort to obtain ratifica-
ton OF the amendment. During the
past few months the prohibitionists
have carried things with high hand
In Alabama, raiding private homes and
breaking into trunks in search OF
liquor, and the people justly rebelled
against such indignities heaped upon
them by order OF a fanatic who oc-
cupied the gubernatorial chair. The
defeat Of the amendment does not
mean return to the saloon system,
by any means, but It does mean that
Statewide prohibition will not be
written into the organic law, and that
the matter will be left for future
legislatures TO deal with.
In our opinion. Governor Corners

a MISGUIDED CRITIC.

The Tribune has no sympathy what
ever with the criticism Of the so-called
.Murphree's Press Club of the State
University, induiged in by The Inyer-
ness Chronicle. In fact, The Tribune
is shocked and surprised at The
Chronicle for such an unkind and un-
just expression.
1t Is undeniably true that the press
OF the State has been and is being
worked" TO an almost intoIerable de-
gree by semi-public and, in some
cases, strictly private enterprises, in
the guise Of "news-matter" which is,
in short, nothing more than free ad.
vertising. But II Is a narrow view
indeed which would include in this
'.sponging" category the movement
now being. developed BY President
Murphree, for the advancement Of the
University and. at the same time, for
the training Of the young Floridians
under his instruction IN the gentle art
OF putting their thoughts and ideas
into newspaper English"
The Tribune believes that this IL
one Of the best ideas yet put into
execution by a Florida institution Of
learning. It gives the young people
practical experience in writing for
the paper"-an accomplishment which
every man and woman who expects
to take any part in the drama Of life
should cultivate and become familiar
with--nct necessarily with a view to
making It q business or a profession
or means Of livelihood, but for prac-
tical everyday use. What man Of
any consequence in a community IS
there who does not at some time or
other, find himself called upon to pre-
pare something for publication--and
what an advantage It gives him with
the editor II he Is capable Of putting
his communication into proper shape
for the copy desk" OF a modern
newspaper The same is true Of wo-
men.
The Tribune's experience has been
that only one in one hundred OF the
persons who contribute matter to It's
columns is In even the slightest de-
gree familiar with even the most
rudlmentary rules Of writing copy"
for a paper This lack OF knowledge
makes the editors Job all the more

through the Legislature. and his furth-
er arrogance in enforcing the law in
many instances where it's provisions
should never have applied. had much
to do with the defeat of the amend
ment. He set himself up as a die
tator, even going so far as to name
his, own successor, and had he been
successful in carrying out his plans
the people Of Alabama would have
been ruled with an iron rod by him
and his followers. But the people
asserted their rights and refused to
have the shackles placed upon them
so securely that they could only be
removed by revolution.

RESPITE GIVEN
CONDEMNED NEGRO

At the solicitation of Sheriff Higdon,
Governor Conner has granted Jim Powell,
one of the negroes to have been hung
here on July 9 respite until August G.
Joseph Rogers, Powell's partner in crime,
has appealed his case to the supreme
court and his sentence has been held. up
pending a final decision of the case.
Rogers and Powell were tried and con-
victed In the criminal court of murder
ing and robbing a negro merchant named
Simms at Ensley last October. The two
negroes entered Simms' store with the
intention of robbing the place and when
the negro merchant resisted they shot
and killed him.
The evidence introduced in the trial
of the two negroes tended to show that
Rogers shot Simms while Powell held
him. Powell confessed the crime on the
witness stand and the jury after being
out a short time returned a verdict i'm
posing the death penalty.
Rogers appealed his case. but Powell
having no money with which to employ
attorneys could not appeal. In view of
the evidence that Rogers actually did
the shooting, Sheriff Higdon wrote the
governor asking that Powells execution
be held up pending a decision of Rogers
case by the supreme court. This the
governor has done, the respite being re-
ceiyed yesterday afternoon.

Says Liquor SympathizerS
Must Ger Out of Office
SAYS FIGHT IS JUST 7EGUN
If Constitutional Amendment Is Nee

bama Will Vote for the
Change.
SAYS FIGHT IS JUST 7EGUN

Superintendent Brooks Lawrence of the
Alabama Anti-Saloon league yesterday is
sured the following signed statement bear
ing on tho recent decision of the state
1.-THE decision of the supreme court
looks to me like an attempt on the part
of the court to invade the realm of legis-
lation instead of confirming itself to the
Interpretation and constituting of law. The
general attitude of the United States su-
preme court toward the liquor traffic
is that this subject is in a class by it.
self and subject to the police powers of
the legislatures of the several states
who have under these police powers I'M
limited authority to pass laws protecting
the public health and the public morals
Liquor laws are peculiar and have known
some very able lawyers to stumble ri
diculously in their attempts to furnish
protection for those engaged Illegally in
the sale of intoxicng liquors.
1.-THE decision of the court Is mighty
small comfort for the outlawed liquor
traffic and its friends. although 1 have
been informed that they are in great glee
over 1t. There is no reason for the tenn
perance elements to be discouraged. The
law has been in the hands of its enemies
in a few Of the counties in our state
and the liquor anarchist has been en-
outraged by this fact; the bulk of the
noise has come from these few counties.
Certain courts have rendered decisions
that have. manifestly been to the ad-
vantage of this outlawed class. but they
are on the defensive, without any legal
standing and their friends in public CT
flee cannot save them.
1.-The decent citizenship of Alabama
is aroused and has been wedding out
from the public office the men who
favor the liquor traffic and they will con-
tinue to do this until every liquor Judge
solicitor, sheriff and police officer in our
state has been laid out under a beauti-
full political tombstone of ballots.
know whereof / speak, for the sentiment
in Alabama is stronger today against the
liquor traffic than it was In 1907.
I'VE have only begun our fight and we
Will Keep IL up uiltll we IdN6 Justice.
If we cannot get 1t In the courts we
will see to 1t that the courts are con-
stituted of men who will not work over
time In their efforts to protect the liquor
outlaws of Alabama. The people of this
state propose to have this law fully tested
by its friends and not accept a verdict
of success or failure at the hands of its
enemies.
IF court decisions against us are ever
well founded on constitutional inhibitions
then the people of Alabama will change
the constitution of the state to meet the
situation. The day of saloonkeeper, gam
bier, harlot and pimp domination in gov
eminent is drawing to close in Alabama
