the human weakness-he longed for

all who rad opposed him and ridl-

This paper in an article published
two years ago advocated cutting down
the width of country roads," recalls
the Grundy Democrat. The PROPOSE
ton is meeting Endorsement in many
sections of the state at this time and 1t
is more than likely that the next state
legislature will give 1t fair hearing.
The only waste land we have in this
county is on the public highway. At
least half of our road lands are never
worked and they are never used. There
Is about section of land in every
township used for road purposes Half
of this could be sold to farmers whose
land adjoins the road. If this were
done a fund of at least $4,000 could
be raised, which if it we're put on in
terest would bring an income large
enough to pay for dragging the roads
when it is necessary. Township trus-
tees should get back of some plan of
this kind"

ever been called on to do. It h wrong in concsptioa and in theory and will be hurtfui In practice. It was conceived by politicians and pushed through the Legislature for personal ends. It was wrong move at the start and nothing that can be said in its favor can make 1t other wise. Divested of personal politics 1t would be iifeiess and its advocacy would be screaming farce. Cut out all appeals to prejudice and there would be no ammunition left to its advocates. Banish narrow-minded- ness and it's advocates would find themselves fioundering in sea of tnaninity.
 By all means let us Hay aside all prejudice and narrow -mindedness and do the right thing" but such an ap- peal from the amendment forces is a misappiication of language. The in teilisent voters of Alabama will do the right thing Monday by giving the amendment permanent burial.

IT IS TO LAUGH.

Sometimes we wonder if some of the amendment newspapers really mean what they say. or know what they mean. For example. The En- terprise Ledger concludes an editorial boosting It's favorite measure with these words: Let us lay aside all prejudice and narrow -mindedness and do the right thing"
 That sounds queer, coming from that side of the house. If ever a cause has been advocated by stronger and more bitter appeals to human prejudice than is shown by those who are trying to uphold this vicious amendment we have failed to notice it. They make constant appeals to the religious. political, personal and social prejudices of the people of Ala bama in almost all their utterances. They show it in their speeches. their writings and their conversations. It ls tHe stTonBVst caio tuey pldys duu when they find that their spacious ar guments have no effect on a voter appealing to his prejudice. and hav- ing found 1t. they work 1t for all that cut off from this weapon of offense and defense their cause would drop.
 And 1t is really little less than amusing to hear one of these reform CTS talk about narrow -mindedness for many of them have that vice in the superlative degree. Members of churches. some of them professed ministers of the gospel. are so mar row that they refuse to believe that a man can be honest or a woman vir- tuous unless he or she favors the amendment. Men of the pulpit itself have on more than one occasion ex- hibited this narrow spirit by severe, offensive and baseless accusations and denunciations against all who refuse to see as they do. Their views are so narrow. and 80 limited by their prejudices that they are not able to see any good outside their own cir cumscribed horizon.
 And we heartily join The Ledger in appealing to the voters of Alabama to "do the right thing" but suggest that tie right thing is not to support the amendment. That Is about as near the wrong thing as the people have

about The Advertiser will be more judicial and fair.
 It is very probable that some of Judge weakiey's great irritation over this matter Is due to the fact that he has found that the amendment is beaten. that his political heir-appar- ency is a burst bauble. that he re- aiizes that The Advertiser has done vast deal to bring about that situ- ation--much more than its occasional cartoons of him. When people are sore with newspapers over big things they frequently get excited over lit- tie ones. The ex-Justice Is not as wise and cool and iong-headed man as successful politician must be- Governor Conner will not be able to make him the next Governor of Ala bama.

When Congress meets in December, one of the questions to be thrashed out will undoubtedly be the revision of the pure foo1 laws to meet the demands of the general body of con sumers for still further improvements in the methods in vogue in many food
 One of the points overlooked in the original act was the treatment Of peaches and apricots in canning plants It is the practice of many canneries to immerse peaches in a boiling solution of caastic soda and allow the fruit to stew in this chemi- cal until the skins of the fruit are eaten loose. The fruit Is then put through several washings until the skins are washed away. This pro- cess is about a cent and a half or two cents a can cheaper than peeling by knife. Those who are .calling atten- tion to this chemical treatment say that the use of the lye Is not the worst feature of the process. but com tend that in order to use this cheap peeIlnE process 1t Is necessary to use green and unripe fruit for canning. Ripe fruit viii not stand the lye process, but becomes discolored and disintegrated in the causttc soda. The little flavor which the unripr peaches have is killed by the i've treatment so that the result Is a woody, tasteless. canned peach which depends for flavor on the syrup which Is added In the canning process.

 Curry, Ala. Nov. 25, 1909. Editor The Advertisers:
 have just read In The Birmingham News that there has been great changes from the anti-amendment tn the amendment in Alabama.
 I don't believe a word of it. wiil say that I was in Troy, yesterday, and talked with leading men who are op- posed to the amendment and I didn't find one changed from to the amend. ment. I will say that Mir. Carmachael was to speak in Troy yesterday and your scribe was persuaded very hard to go to listen to Mir. Carmichael as they were very anxious that we hear both sides.
 There has been no changes in Pike and they know 1t. Then why this misrepresentation only to deceive. Hoping we may completely hide them out of sight. l am.

HarpeFS WeekiV,
 If man of 70 years was starving. 1t would probably be little comfort to him to think that he had consumed in the course of his life hfty-three and three-quarters tons of solid food and forty-two and three-uuarters tons of liquid. or about 1.3s0 times his own weight in solids and liquids, but it would bA true.
 Being 8 man of average appetite and purse, he would have raten fifteen tons of bread, which would have made single loaf containing 1900 cubic feet and appearing about as large as the average suburban home: and on this bread he would have spread one ton of butter. If his bacon had beon have been four miles long and his chops placed end to end would have extended two miles.
 Twenty ordinary sized billocks have supplied him with beef, eighteen tons of which he has eaten, along with Ave tons or Ash and 10000 eggs and $50 pounds of cheese. If he had elected to have all his vegetables served ct once they would have come to him in a train of cars. the pod containing all his peas being over three miles longA 1.500 pounds of salt. eight pounds of pepper and 100 cans of mustard. Three pints of liquid a day would have amounted to T6, 500 pints. or fortytwo and three quarters tons. If he had been a smoker he would have burned about half a ton Of tobacco in pipe, 1 or if he preferred cigarettes. he would ] have smoked about a quarter of { million.

THE AMnspMENT MONEY.

Every surface indication shows, and reliable men in a position to know say, that the amenders are spendins money like water in Jefferson county in the closing days of the amendment Tn Jefferson county 1t is relatively stated that more money is being spent in this campaign than in any campaign in that county in recent years.
 One item only may be mentioned the renting of the Hippodrome Thea tre for seven days at . cost of S10o a day. At each of the first two meet ings less than hundred voters were present, the amenders paying at least dollar a head for voter to hear the argument of one of their speakers The county has been filled with fly ing excursions of amendment speak CTS in carriages and automobiles. This has been going on for six weeks--the heavy expense of twenty or twenty five speakers in the field each day. The county has been flooded with lit- erature. The newspaper advertising bill has been enormous. And now the defender leaders are claiming that the practical politicians on the side of the amenders are getting in their work and that they have money enough to do work in practical" way.
 The charge is made that the amend CTS have spent s1o.ooo in a practical" campaign in Jefferson county in the past two weeks. The sum may or may not be excessive. but the men who know anything about politics in Jefferson county say that more than that has been spent in Jefferson.
 What is the need of spending so much money? What good purpose can so large a sum in politics serve? And Jefferson county Is not exceptional. The money spent by the amenders In the State will largely exceed that spent by Governor Conner in his cam paign for Governor which set high water mark in Alabama politics. A prominent defender says: -,ss.s. -s'g,- . --' -
 "The amenders have spent dollars where we have spent dtmes.'
 That the amenders have spent a great deal more money than the de- lenders. whether ten times as much may not be told. no we'll informed man in Alabama knows. There never was campaign which cost as much money as the campaign for the adop- tion of the amendment has cost.
 It is foolish to say that the enor- nous amounts spent in Aiabama have been raised by the collections at their churches and political meetings. There has been an endowment. big gift from the outside. The Anti-sa- loon League. if 1t dealt fairly with the people. would make statement of It's financial resources and expen- ditures.

Senator Paid Entire Expense Of state
 Primaries.
 Baltimore Dispatch.
 The sworn statement filed by Sena- Circuit Cir Cs Court % and sent to the Governs s or as required by the corrupt prac- tices act. shows that the Senator's campaign expenses in connection with the Democratic Senatorial primaries and the recent election, which were held on the same day, were s16.924.40
 As Senator Rayner was the only candidate in the primaries, he had to bear the entire expense of holding the primaries throughout the State. which amounted to $13.20s.05. In addition. Senator Rayner contributed S2.7s4 for the expenses of the campaign and spent S922.s5 for advertising.
 Tn commenting on the statement. q
 The assessment for the Senatorial primaries that was levied upon Sena- tor Rayner was done In accordance with the law A change of one line of the law could have saved this whole amount for Mir. Rayner, inasmuch as he had no opposition, and the election was the unanimous expression or the sentiment of his party. It was very unfortunate that MT; Rayner should amount but there was no escape from 1t, as the law was peremptory ana provided that upon failure 10 pay 1t the candidates name should pc strisK- en from the list It Is known that Mir. Vandiver and the other chairmen of the committees did all they could to bring the expenses down to the low. est point. but there were nearly 500 precincts in which the elect!on LOOK place, and in every precinct that had to be a polling place, poll books. tw" judges. and a clerk.

 These figures are what Judge Weakley has drawn to date. The nti- gation is not yet ended. and what he may draw in the future Is. of course, a matter of speculation. That will be determined largely by himself and Governor Conner.
 During the recent session of the Legislature there was an appropria- tion of another $50.00O for the ex- penses of the litigation being con- ducted by the Governor for the State. This. of course. indicated that most of the s50.ooO previously appropriated had either been expended or contract cd for. It was understood at that time that over s40.OOO of the first ap- propriation had been expended; If not why was another $5O.oOO needed for legal expenses?
 It seems that Judge weakIey got the largest sum that has been paid 10 the various lawyers. who have been brought in to help the Attorney Gen eral in his work.
