MEET m FAIRLY.

The amendment politicians now re- aiize. but too late. that it would have been far better for them if they had dealt fairly and openly with the peo- pie. Expediency and subterfuses have marked the. pro-amendment cam pasgn from its beginning and disaster threatens their cause.
 Why should they deny that the po- lit,cal prOhihittonists and the Anti saloon League intended to banish all alcoholic liquors from the home? In making such denial they are repudiat- ing the position of the Legislature and the political cabal which directed things. or they are intentionally de- csaving the people. The only way in sszsch liquors can legally get into the hoxsss iss under the proteCtion Of the Eederal Constitution and Statutes The Ant1-6aloon League keeps an ac- tiNe and paid lobby at Washington to hs~e enacted law which will not permit shipments from a '.wetr State fc q ~dry" state. Alabama Congress men have been urged to pledge them selves eo vote for such a law. The sole and only reason for a fight on Congressman S. H Dent of the Sec ond District was his refusal to sub scribe to that pledge. The president and the superintendent of the Anti Saloon. League united in a circular letter to the voters of the district .urg- ing them in effect to defeat MT. Dent. because he refused to give that pledge.
 Now the prohibitionists politicians declare that they never thought of such a thing as driving liquor from the homes. Still. the Legislature made 1t as difficult as possible; 1t aimed various attacks at liquors in the home and was only prevented from forbidding their keeping there by the existence of constitutional rights which the amendment will abrogate.
 The fair and square thing to do would be to fight out the issue as it was started. We have driven liquor from every other place except the home and We propose to drive 1t from there"
 But in this time of peril to political ambition expediency rules and the beaten amender politicians are taking refuge in subterfuges.

Mobile Register.
 There is little doubt that the amend CTS have begun to feel soreiy the weight of Governor Conner on their shoulders. To carry the amendment and the Governors. political ambitions too is a heavy load. At one time the advantageous. but when they saw fit to represent to the public that there is no politics in the campaign. the dis coyery was made that MT. Conner was in the campaign for politics; Mir. ities. MT. Seed was in the campaign for politics, and so on. Something had to be done. Accordingly, strenuous de- nal was resorted to, and also ridicule. Nevertheless. there was the Governor, racing about the State. making speech es, putting his administration to the fore. when the amenders wanted only the amendment to be talked about At last, 1t became necessary to turn the screws upop the Governor. and they were turned with such yigor that now the Governor squeais
 There Is no particular occasion for the Governor 10 issue an address to the general public. except for the purpose ment campaign is . political dodge to help him into high ofice; and We are justified In asserting that this Is the only occasion for hLs address. 1iss
 We note that he defends his adminis- tration. This is to show that he had reason for his speech-making, and to let himself down easily. Then he cuts his melon. First. he says that he did not organize the 'State-wide" cam paign and the amendment. This Is to show that he did not get these move. ments started for his political benefit. He advised against them, but the stiff- necked Legislature would not take his advice Both measures are good, how ever, he says. He learned to like them. and so he advocates them; but not for political reasons. The Governor is not In 1t for politics: not now. He assures the public that he is "in no. sense a ean- dtdate for the United States Senate. nor for any other offtce"
 If is all pretty plain sailing for the Feader. We think the situation can be understood without difficulty.
 The announcement is of Importance chiefly as a sign of the straits to which the amenders are driven, and also of the declension of Governor Co., mer's popularity. To attract voters to the amendment he has to promise that he seeks no office--he the man the vot. CTS delighted aforetime to honOrl Also. We observe, he promises to give us no more of prohibition iegislation-which Is sudden about-face from the post. ton he held, when asserting that he would have what laws were needed even if he had to spend every cent in the treasury. Perhaps, the fact that the treasury Is now exhausted will excuse him for modifying his appetite for ex- tra sessions,

We suppose the inference is that this paper will suffer defeat In its fight for constitutional integrity. and that 1t will not give up the bat tie.

TREASURE OF zurDER ZEE.

London Globe.
 The Dutch await with curiosity the results Of the work undertaken in the Zuyder Zee. On october Q. l7ss. the English ship of war Lutin. sank in Dutch waters. carrying with 1t ito the bottom $30,0O0.000 of gold and silver in bars that the British Cabinet was sending to Hamburg to help at finan- ciaI crisis in the Hanse towns; The cargo, insured for nearly Sz5.000,OVo. wes entirely lost.
 The Dutch Government. urged by France. tried to recover the wreck, but a violent storm covered the ship with such a thickness of sand that 1t had to be given up. After the restor. alton of European peace the King of Holland abandoned his rights to his English colleague. who ceded them to the company of Lloyd.
 The company made a new attempt in 1920 and its efforts were not un successful. for they drew from the ship lsS bars of silver andal.2o0 ingots of gold. a total value of $2.500,000. Prob. ably francs are meant.
 The Company of Lloyd has entered into contract with another society which today undertakes the work with by an engineer named Lake.
