Much interest centered in the
election which was held through
out Alabama yesterday to deter
mine the sens of the electors of
that State with regard to placing
prohibition in the constitution of
the State. More than a year ago
the Legislature enacted statutory
prohibition by an overwhelming
majority in both houses, and the
State was dry" theoretically,
since that law became operative,
In Mobile and other of the larger
cities the law was bitterly oppos-
ed, and considerable difficulty
was experienced in enforcing it
in those communities where pub
lie sentiment was strongly OPP
posed to it.
This difficulty resulted in the
converting of the General AS
sembly in extraordinary session
and the submission by Governor
Conner of a recommendation for
the submission of drastic amend
ments to the Constitution incor-
porating prohibition into the or
ganic law of the State. The
amendments received the neces-
sary vote in both branches of the
Legislature and it was these
amendments which the people
rejected by an overwhelming
vote on Monday,
It was charged freely during
the campaign that the ratifca-
ton of the amendments would be
tantamount to an endorsement of
Governor Conner and the contin-
uation Of his regime in power,
and no doubt that fact had con-
Siderable influence in the deter
mination Of the result. It was
said also that many thousands of
electors had been disfranchised
by failure to register and pay
their poll taxes within the re-
quired time. The inquisitorial
power which the amendments
provided for in the matter of
search and seizure was bitterly
assailed, and feeling was intense
throughout the State.
We think that two conclusions
might be safely drawn from the
result of the Alabama election;
one is, that personal politics and
economic and moral issues do not
mix well; and the other is, that
the principle Of local option fur
nishes the most successful meth
cd which has yet been devised
for dealing effectively with the
liquor question. There seems to
be no reason to doubt that the
overwhelming defeat which Ala
bama prohibitionists sustained
will give a decided setback to
the prohibition movement
throughout the country. States.

There is a whole lot of truth in
the following from the Vicksburg
Herald:
"The result of the election in
Alabama upon the question of
writing absolute prohibition in the
state constitution, is a clear case
of overlooking the gun. For
tunately, in grasping for the
shadow Alabama does not lose the
substance. Yet, while the defeat
of constitutional prohibition can
not shake off the statutory expul-
sion of saloons, the moral effect of
such a result will not be whole
some"

Mistaken Idea as to the Legislature.

A great many of the citizens of
Mississippi seem to have an idea
that nothing can be considered at
the approaching session Of the
Legislature except revenue and
appropriation bills, unless it shall
be embodied in the message of the
Governor calling the Legislature
together, but the fact is that the
next session is not a called session,
at which nothing can be consider
ed, apart from revenue and ap-
preparation bills, unless the Gov
ernOr submits the subject matter
in his general or special message.
However, the Governor can just
keep on submitting matters to the
Legislature SO. long as it is in SEES
sion, and has nothing to say till
after the solons get to work.

Games For INDOORS.

Miss H K.-There are a number of
good games to be played indoors at a
party. | am publishing several for you
Ruth and Jacob. One player has
his ewes blinded and stands in a circle
made by the other players. They dance
silently around him until ne points at
one. who must then enter the circle
and try to avoid being caught by the
blind man. The purSuer calls out from
time to time. RUTH to which the pur-
sued must always answer at once ia
cob" at the same time trying to dodge
quickly enough to escape the other S
immediate rush to the spot. After the
Ruth is caught the Jacob" must
guess who it is and if he guesses right,
TIN, Ruth is blindfolded and becomes
the Jacob" and the game begins anew
''The Sergeant'-In this game one
n.aver represents a sergeant, and the
others are soldiers whom he is drilling
When he makes an action and says DO
this" the others have TO initiate him;
but If he says do that, they must
take no notice
Laughter The company sit in cir
Gle. and the game IS begun by one
throwing a handkerchief into the air.
immediately this is done everyone must
begin to laugh and continue to laugh
until the handkerchief touches the
g,ound. They must then stop. or leave
the circle. Gradually all Will leave but
one who must then perform by himseli
IL he is willing.

UNIQUE TRIMMING
MADE OF RIBBON
Pretty and Dainty Combina-
tionS Are Made With
Chiffon.

A new Trimming that should become
popular is best described as a trellis
made from ribbon, soft silk. or strands
OF chiffon, and used as an insertion on
skirts. as suspenders. belts, sashes
berthas, and even sleeves.
It is exceedingly pretty and can be
easily made at home.
Two strands are taken and laid as
far apart as ne desired width of the
finished articl7. Then a third very long
strand running zigzaE is used to con-
meet these two. At every point where
this strand turns tie ribbon or chif-
fon, etc, is gathered into a little but
ton rosette and then caught to the
foundation strands.
Ribbon and chiffon combine very
prettily. The ends, as in a sash, or
where necessary, are drawn together
and weighed with a pretty taSSel. A
very dainty way of arranging the front
of an evening gown in empire or cross
over surplice short waist is TO fll in
border reaching just above the bust,
where II is gathered with a baby rib
bon in tucker fashion.
One of the most effective and the
cheapest sort of trimmings may be
made by using the bands OF Arabian
thick white cord. 1t is then twisted
in different shapes, for It is very sup
pie. so that r forms the bow knots
and circular designs for the evening
or afternoon gowns or course, the
satin is too dressy to wear on suit or
net more attractive trimming could
not be found. The same idea is shir-
red very full over a cord. This will
sometimes take the place of braid,
