You were born under charitable star.
 -Al's We'll That Ends Well.
Prohibition a Police Power

The control of the sale of liquors is police power. and only few states have seen fit to put police rules on that subject in their fundamental law. Rhode Island and South Dakota did have constitutional prohibition but they began an agitation which was ended by freeing their organic laws of the subject.
 Four states out of 46 retain, in ef- feet, constitutional prohibition, but not one of the four stands content under it unless it be Maine, and the arrests on account of drunkenness in Portland, the only considerable city in that state, are as large, proportion ,ately, as they are in wide open states.
 The prohibition movement has been widespread. but in AZ states it does not lean to constitutional prohibition. Statutory prohibition has been adopted In several states and local option has been applied to nearly two thirds of the territory of the country.
 So long as Alabama has adopted a very drastic form of statutory prohi- bition 1t seems to be the height of unwisdom to add constitutional pro- hibition. - No such proposition has ever come before any other state un- der such circumstances. In this mat ter it is best to act with judgment. It is best to stop and ask ourselves, is it wise to put mere police regula- tions in the organic law when we al- ready have statewide prohibition in amplest form?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-07
Labor Day Celebration

Labor assembled in a great decor ous body never fails to stir the im- agination or impress the public with the value of it's brawn. Yesterday was Labor day and in Birmingham and the Birmingham district 1t was gen. orally and joyously observed. There have been larger demonstrations in the city than were seen in the parade. and perhaps greater crowds have been gathered on the pleasure grounds. But thousands took part in the celebration and certain it is that no pleasanter oc- casion will be recalled than that of yesterday
 It was indeed an suspicious day and will long be remembered as such. La bor day observance had its beginning about 25 years ago. No holiday in this country receives more general at- tention than Labor day and few hol- idays are so earnestly welcomed. All honor to the honest toilers of Bir. mingham.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-07
Dr.. Cooks Diary and Observations

Scientists say that no man could forge continuous series of obser- vations without mourning detection. Dr. Cook did keep diary and he did secure scientific data, and all of his records were sent to this coun- try from Greenland None of these invaluable records have been de- stroyed. All are here and all will be duly laid before scientists.
 The skeptical London papers should await the facts in the case before pronouncing judgment Dr. Cook will soon come to this country and his diary and observations will, no doubt, speedily be laid before men who can not be deceived in such matters.
 It is simply unthinkable that Dr. Cook is endeavoring to deceive the world in a matter that does not ad- init of deception after his observations are laid before the world. There is really no reason to doubt Dr. Cook 8 words. When his diary and scientific observations are made known then, and not until then, will there be room for criticism or doubt. There is none now. We have his word for what he did and it should be and is widely accepted pending the presentation and, perhaps, publication of his obserya- tions. He could not, if he would, pre- sent hoax in that form. He could not deceive his brother scientists. He will surely satisfy all that he has dis covered the north pole, and the Lon don criticisms are uncalled for prior to the presentation of Dr. Cooks rec Ords.

TAKING TEA IN GAY PAREE

crowd the street that it is difficult to slip by on foot; but bold indeed the stranger who would crowd into such close cor poration" the second tme-or the first time without the carte blanche, or a nod from one on the right bank of the social Rubicon.
 But such places are not common. The French may have their aristocrats in fact and in theory, but in practice they delight in the cheery democracy of the multitude They like to sip cup of tea or two at most, exchange compliments, bon mots and go, not hastily but so prettily that one wishes to see them again in their appear ing and vanishing acts. Their meetings and partings are graced by such aesthetic ceremony. One charm of tea time in Paris is the return of a long age make believe feeling of the childhood play of lady-come- to-see. The French are gay on principle, evens when not so by nature, but they have a grain of cynicism, which perhaps too easily turns to caustic wit. It would seem that tea drinking caught them at the psychological moment.

THE OYSTER.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Hail the beginning of that pleasing garland of months which contain the letter "R." Ha! Do you feel the thrill? Does your mouth begin to water? Can you not discern your gastronomic familiar spirit leading you away, sated and cloyed from cantaloupes, roasting ears, watermelons and clans. and beck oning you toward the throne of the un disputed monarch of bivalves, the luscious and lovely oyster? For eight months his benignant reign will be over us, gentle, soothing and sustaining. Waste no time In swearing your al- 1egiance to this sovereign of the land of Cockaigne, who is ready at all hours to die for you. Seek not to find fault with his disguises, which multiply with the years. Receive him whether he comes to you on the half-shell. fried, stewed scalloped, broiled. roasted or concealed within the f1aky walls of a juicy pie or the interior of Thanks giving turkey Open wide yohr arms and, for that matter, your mouth-and take him lovingly in. Watch your cal endar and improve each of the royal months as it flies until fiowery May, dreariest to the bivalvular devotee. comes to wipe away the tears of weep ing April. sorrowing because with her departure disappears the true friend of mankind, the succulent oyster. Eat him to If there was never to come another September Take no thought of ptomaines. Bacteria are food for towards. Men have died of many things, but not of eating oysters.

Popular Election of Senators

Left to itself the United States Sen ate would never reform itself, but if two-thirds of the legislatures de mand from Congress a constitutional convention then the Senate might yield in order to prevent the assem- bling of convention. Three more states are needed, and Georgia should be one of them, and probably will be.
 The popular election movement is coming along. Enough states will pe- tition Congress to call a convention to present an amendment providing for the direct election of United States senators, and while we are waiting state after state is electing senators in that way, and thus con- siderable body of senators are being recruited who are opposed to the en- tire Aldrich method of legislating for special interests. The insurgent sen. ators will yet gain control of the Sen. ate. The movement is young. but it is promising. Tariff revision opened the eyes of the people and wonder fully boomed senatorial reform. It will come.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-07
Representation After 1910

The ratio for representation in the House of Representative now stands at 194,000, and the House now con- tains 391 members. Many desire to keep the House from going over the 400 mark, and yet no state is will ing to lose member. The fewer the number the greater the ratio, and the stagnated states would pay the pen alty. Those states, therefore, con- bine to keep down the ratio by in- creasing the number of members, so that they will not lose members. The chances are pretty good that the House will be increased beyond 400.
 But let us assume 1t will not cross the 400 line. An expert in the cen sus office estimates the population of the states under the new census at &, ,620, ,000, and in order to keep the membership of the House down to 400 the basis of representation will have to be increased to 225,0O0.
 Lot us see how Alabama, that did not get an additional member under the census of 1900. would fare. The topulation Of the state in 1900 was
