The weakiey. alias Fuller, bill, was taken in part from the Maine statute. The spirit in which the Maine liquor law was enforced. is shown by the case of the State vs. Brown. si Maine. 522, to which lawyer friend calls our attention. The following is a state ment of the facts copied from the re- port of that case: "The evidence was that a child two or three years of age had met an accident: that . regularly practicing physician had prescribed ap- plication of rum to the injured part; that its mother. Mrs. Brown. bought the rum for that purpose; that none of ir was drunk: that no person in the town had a license to sell for medici- nal purposes. The judge instructed the jury that if the evidence was be- iieved the charge against the defend- ant was established" The case was carried to the Supreme Court of Maine. That court decided as follows: Howard J.-The liquor was sold for a medical purpose. It might be indiscreet to prosecute. but the defendant had no right to sell. whether for medicine. or for drinking. or for any other pur- pose." Accordingly, the neighbor who let the mother have some rum to re- lieve the pain of little child. at the instance of a physician. was declared a criminal and fined accordingly.
 The weakley. alias Fuller, bill far outstrips the Maine law. which allow ed exceptions in favor of the manufac- ture and sale of hard cider. New Hampshire. when it was . prohibition State, forbid only the sale and al- lowed the manufacture. Under the dispensary law. South Carolina allow ed any one "to make wine for his own use from grapes or other fruit" Man. ufacturers' and distiliers. however, could sell to no one in the State. ex- cept to the State Commissioner, who was dutuoEizcu to SouhaSt Aof Sef
 plies with responsible grape growers in the State" Even in the wave of excitement which resulted from the dispensary agitation in South Caro- lima that State did not destroy the property of men in their vineyards. as the weakIey. alias Fuller. bill de- stroys the property of the Germans who settled in Cullman and expended their all in planting vineyards and orchards. The weakley, alias Fuller. law will not allow them to manufac- ture or to sell either at home or abroad. Eminent divines. statesmen and physicians. who have been labor ing for temperance for generations past, have always taught that the use of light wines was a great promoter of temperance. and the contrast be- tween the habits of the Frenchmen and the Englishmen shows this to be true. The ferocity of the Weakley, alias Fuller. bill on the subject has no parallel in the legislation of this or the past century. Small wonder. then. that housewives. whose mothers before them were pious. Christian women. are indignant at a law which makes them criminals if they manufacture scuppernong or blackberry wine for their own use, or to sell to a neigh bor.

THE HOMES OF ALABAMA
Tuscaloosa, Sept. 2s, 1908

Tuscaloosa. Sept 25, 1903. Editor The Advertiser:
 The following stanzas. written more ander B. Meek. of ruscaiooss, Ala bama's famous historian, scholar, poet, jurist and founder of the public school propriate to the present crisis. when through q cunningly devised amend ment to the constitution, 1t Is sought t to break down the Dattlements built ctent English law" and mouern consti- tutional restrictions-and, under forms of law, to lay these homes open to in- vasion by a ruthless constabulary.
 These verses are not of high poetical in the principles of civil liberty. Judge Meek seems with prophetic vision 10 when men, struck blind with fanattcal zeal. would seek to destroy the sancti- ty of these fair homes.
 The Homes of Alabama. The homes of Alabama!-
 The cottage and the hall,- Her institutions spread alike
 A guardian care OCT all. No titled fopling spurns aside
 The peasant from his way, But the homes of Alabama
 Are blessed by equal sway The homes of Alabama!
 The shrines of Faith and Love, Where honest hearts forever lift
 There incense-prayers above! Where science. art and peace combine To scatter bliss around. And make the once rude savage wastes Now consecrated ground! The homes of Alabamai
 Homes of the Brave and Free! Stout hearts beneath their cabin roofs Pulsate with liberty. They scorn the despot's iron rule,
 THE EEALOT'S CALLING CHAIN, And the homes of Alabama
 Shall ever free remaln. The homes of Alabama.
 Let the tyrant keep his own, THE BIGOT NURSE HIS MARROW
 CREED.
 \ But not pollute their zone. Should War or Frenzy ever strive
 To crush their strength. they'll feel That the homes of Alabama
 Are filled with hearts of steel.

FOUND AND LOST

The Wichita (Kan.) Beacon puts the matter tersely and epigramatically when. In referring to Lieutenant Peary, 1t says: "TIe found the Pole and lost the United States" It insists that the country is and will be with Dr. Cook not" 1t argues, because Dr. Cooks discovery antedated Peary's by a year of time. Men have been trying to dis cover the pole since the seventeenth century-so the years time Is Of no object. The public was ready to give Peary the same applause as Cook But Peary lost the public by his mean spirited attack on Cook. The Ameri- can public has profound sense and a perfect understanding of what Is good taste. Commander Peary deliberately robbed himself of the public's sym pathy and interest by violating the rules of conduct which the public sets up for public men"
 We think there can be no room for doubt that Peary has materially in- jured his own reputation before the American people by his precipitate and intolerant attacks on Dr. Cook. It matters not if he did really discover the Pole as he claims, or that he doubts Cooks claims to have reachd it. lie should have been content with the an- nouncement of his own success and let 1t rest there until he and Cook reached home and submitted their statements and proofs to competent judges. By that course. he would have lost noth- ing, but as 1t is. he has Host the United States" perhaps.

 He is si years old. and has lived . life of sobriety and set An example of kind ness and charity which can well be compared with that of those who as- sail him. Former Governors Jones. Oates. Johnston and Jelks have gone In and out before the people of Alabama for many years. and no one can truth fully charge that their elections were due to the efforts of the liquor inter- ests.
 Such questions did not arise during the campaigns of former Governors. but during the time of the pres- ent Governor. Since the line has been drawn at former Gov ernors." 1t is we'll to consider the attitude of the present Governor. It is weil-known that what might be called liquor interests solidIy support ed Governor Conner in Montgomery, Selma and Mobile. As to Birmingham and other points, we are not informed. but 1t Is q fair conclusion that what happened here happened all over the State. He was supported by that in- terest because of his declarations in favor of local option as against pr. cunningham's record in the State Sem ate in favor of . dispensary in Jeff ferson County. We win not make the broad charge that he was elected by the 'liauor interests" but he received that support here and elsewhere, be- cause he was regarded as not so much of a prohibitionist as Dr. Cunningham. and. further, because of his repeated local option avowais. It is galiing to be agitators to know that four out of 've of Aiabama's living ex-Governors l rave declared against the prohibition amendment to the Constitution, but that does not justify the circulation of islanders against them and the people of the State.

The Tuscumbia Alabamian Dispatch says
 Ninety per cent of the newspapers of tho State are supporting the amend ment, and three-fourths of the voters of the State will vote for 1t. and the majority will hardly fall under 25,000 in the State This Is our honest judg- ment in the matter
 We have before us a list of fifty State papers, which earnestly oppose the amendment. and there may be oth- CTS which we have overlooked. That surely does not show 90 per cent of the total as favoring the amendment In addition, there are scores of papers which are as dumb as oysters on the subject. Claiming majorities is one thing, but actual results often tell a different tale, and So we think 1t will be in this case.

After thinking the matter oyer. we are free tp say that we regret writing the arti- cle and apologize to Brother Matkin, who is also a brother Mason. for at tacking him In such style. We believe when a man Is wrong ne ought to &C., knowledge 1t. All of us are Impetuous at times and do things we regret after wards. But any manly man should al- ways be willing to make amends.

He wrote it propped in bed, and. realizing that he was near deaths door he doubtless meant to be at peace with all mankind. His desire prompt ed the apology. which, as he said. was a manly thing and one which few of us would have the moral courage to do; but be it known, that the apology was meant only to right any wrong he had done his brother editor, and was In nowise a retraction of any of the poli- cles which he so strongly advocated in this paper.
