tn. End OF a Farce.

Now that the Seventeenth general
assembly has concluded it's regular
sessions. and the results OF Its work
are apparent, 1t seems proper to OBJ
serve that never In the history of
the state has there been a law-mak-
ing body that was so absolutely use
less. irrelevant and immaterial.
Not a half dozen laws have been
passed Of real value to the people
Of the state. Indeed. the assembly's
best acts have been those relating
to roads and bridges, and those were
matters which were not even men-
TONED In Its PLATFORM Of promises to
the people.
Whether those celebrated "seven
paramount pnomises" were wise or
not the fact remains that the Demo
cratic party made a great buster
about them. got elected to office on
che strength Of them. and then TALL
ed miserably In keeping It's promises.
Only one or two o. the measures got
through. and those were hacked and
mutilated so that they do not '-ven
represent the spirit, much less inc
letter. OF the promises made oy the
Democratic party In convention anu
upon the stiAmp. The very men who
drew the original bills disowned them
before they were enacted. because
the measures bad been 50 amended
and butchered.
The assembly has been huge
failure from the beginning; 1t has
failed to keep Its own pledges; IL
has FILTERED away ninety days OF
time. at an expense Of 100000 to
the taxpayers; 1t has been wastedui

known before In the history OF the
state; It has appropriated more
money than any Of Its predecessors.

ATTACK IS
 AGGRESSIVE Administration Respon- sible for Agitation 10 CONCEAL BAD RECORD Safe and Sane League Issues
 Circular. Reasons Given Why Governor Conner and His Allies Are Seeking to Estabiish Constitutional Pro-
 hibition Stated.
0 CONCEAL BAD RECORD

A circular letter sent out by Leon McCord. of the Safe and, Sane League. agressively attacking the administra- tion of Governor Conner was one of the subjects of discussion at the Capitol yesterday. /
 A Montgomery county man who re- ceived one of the circulars sent it to the Governors office. Copies of 1t were made In the Governors office and given out to the newspaper men.
 It would, therefore seem that the Governor wished to give a large circu- iation to the letter. in the belief that 1t would stir his friends to action to support the amendment. It would al- so seem, by the circular that 1t was the determination of the opponents of the amendment to link 1t with the the Conner administration in the minds , of the public; and to attack the record of the administration while attacking constitutional prohibition.
 The circu1af declares that the Gov- ernor and his political allies forced the heated campaign for the amendment on the people in order to conceal the bad record of the administration. And in this connection the circular makes ag- gressive and specific attacks on the administration
 
 MT. J. L. Witt, R. F. D. 5. Montgom-
 cry, Ala.
 Dear Sir: Governor Conner and his political allies are seeking to force up- on the people of Alabama constitution al prohibition. Why.
 "First-To make them forget that the Confederate Veterans have not been paid the amounts promised them as pensions.
 'Second-To make them forget that $100.000 of the peoples money has been appropriated for those lawyers who are close to the Governor.
 'Third-To distract attention from the fact that the State Treasury is facing a deficit.
 "Fourth-To perpetuate those laws which make 1t possible for sheriffS constables and police officers to~Dreak into and search a private residence; 1; for If this prohibition amendment is engrafted into the constitution, no home will be protected against arbi- trary search. and the. people of Ala bama will have less freedom than those of Russia now enjoy.
 "Fifth-To appoint Rev. Brooks Lawrence of Ohio guardian of the peo- ple's conscience.
 "Sixth--To force the several coun- ties of Alabama to pay s50.0oo of the peoples money to hold a special cleo tion.
 "seventh-To divert public attention from the condition of the children wh o labor in the Conner cotton factories.

In Reply, Cabinet Member Declares
 that Remsen Boards Decision
 on Benxoate of Soda VIII N Be Sustained.
 Denver, Col, Aug. 24.-That the adulteration of food will soon cease al- together in this country and that the Remsen referee board. appointed at the instance of President Roosevelt to investigate the use of benozate of soda as a preservative would be sus- tained by his department, were asser- tions of Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson at the opening of the annual convention of the Association of State and National Food and Dairy Depart ments today.
 Secretary wilson's remarks followed a bitter attack by J. O. Emery of Madison, Wis, president of the asso- citation.
 Pointing his finger at the secretary, MT. Emery disputed the report of the referee board that benzoate had been cused the Secretary of having urged President Roosevelt to block a re-in- vestigation of the subject.
 Let me say" declared Secretary Wilson. jumping to his feet, ''thats if we had money enough down there in Washington to employ pr. Ira Remsen and the other four chemists on his board, we would try to get them Into the Department of Agriculture. I have told the. President that we want the biggest men in the country in the De- partment or the Department will cease to grow and when it ceases to grow don't want anything more to do with It."
 In an address Secretary Wilson sald:
 From President Emerys report you might infer we have done nothing down in Washington. We are endeavorinR to operate the law with as, little fric- tion as possible. showing leniency where honest 'tnistakese are made. We have instituted many criminal prose- cutions and seized great quantity of impure stuffs.. We have investi- gated the milk supply. of Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis and Cincinnati, have denied entry into this country of imported foods found to be impure, rand all the time we are devising means of makipg the law more per feet. We hope to have our depart ment cooperate with the various state departments. I am convinced that it will be only a short time before the adulteration of foods in this country shall cease altogether"
