Astronomers claim to have dis covered watery vapors on Mars. That would indicate the existence of water on that planet and that again indi- cates that animal life as we know 1t can exist there. But as The Pitts burg Post says. owing to lack of transportation facilities between the two bodies. there is not likely to be any movement of population either way. Man has shown himself capabl of adaptation to widely differing ex- tremes of climate and conditions on the earth. Polar cold, equatorial heat. steaming swamps. burning deserts and eoid-swept wastes all become alike to him after 6 few generations have be- eome inured." PlainIy'the scientist will never be satisfied until they prove that life exists on Mars, but what good will that do If nobody can get there? Transportation facilities. as The Post says, are very thoroughly lacking be- tween us and them.

No Liquor Fight.

selma TlmeS .
 The newspapers who favor the amendment will tell you and insist with a straight face, that the present scrap Is simply prohibition fight. This isn't true and we fall to see on what such a conclusion Is based.
 Ex-Governor Jelks, we believe, IS prohibitionist. and he Is agin' the gag
 Ex-Governor Cobb certainly cannot be regarded as in sympathy. with the "Whlskey element" He is also one Of the goats" Both of these former chief executives at the Birmingham mass meeting announced their uncom- promising opposition to the amend ment Why?
 Representative Jere King was there too. MT. King IS one. of thtl most con sistent prohibition in Ala bama. hay ing always used his splendid Influence In behalf of temperance. Then way before a great audience Of representa- tive business men, did he denounce the scheme as born in shame, and conceiv, ed in inquiIty?" Mr. King admonished the voters to turn down the most fearful political frame up that mas eyer faced the people of Alabama. WnyI
 Will some good natured WorshippeI of the blessed cause of conStitulo oha proh Ibition kindly unbuckle ana let the information fall forth2
 When the very facts In the case thal It is not a prohibition rlgnt; are as plain as a big wart on the end Of your nose, why Is 1t asserted by the oyer jealous advocates of the scheme that the battle Is a lineup between moral ity and corruption.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER IT. 1909.
.rurY WANT PossUMs.

The Albany, (Ga) Herald prints a ,..ter received by a commission firm in that city from a large commission house in St. Louis reading as follows:
 .xxra want several hundred opossums Z 2th,s season. and would ask you 10 niease let us know what arranse,nenMes M wa can make with you to supply us If you do not handle them. "sA n,a y Healer who does? Thanking you m advance for same, we remain 1ouEs very truly etc
 In connection with this letter The Herald takes occasion to descant at sone length on 'possum in general and. as was to be expected. asserts that the real and only genuine posSum ia the Georgia variety. That is very much like the Georgia brethren who have loaded themselves down with the belief that nothing can be pro duced or found anywhere to equal what Georgia can set up. Let them brag as much as they like, as Is their habit. but we take the opportunity to assert that Alabama can match any 'possum in Georgia ..... ...+...--
 But leaving the matter of local or sectional superiority out of the dis cussion, the order sent from the St. Louis firm is just a bit unusual. 1t strikes us. We do not know if the luscious marsupials do not grow and flourish up there In Missouri as they do down here, or whether the epicures there are just acquiring a. taste for them, but whatever may be the nov ing cause of the demand 1t is evil dent that the St. Louis firm has an abiding faith in a coming demand or they would not put in an advance order for several hundred at one time. We presume the Albany firm receiv- ing the order will at once let 1t be known to all the colored brethren of that vicinity so that they may get busy and fill the order Presumably the St. Louis man never tasted any 'possum but the Georgia breed and thinks them superior to any other. or it may be that they do not know up there that the animals grow elsewhere than in Georgia, in which case their Ignorance Is to be pitied.

 With Strength And Force.

stand prepared to meet the issue on the literal, the moral and spiritual as. pect of the subject.
 When travelling in Texas and the question was agitated and Zealous man and several women were engaged in a spirited conversation, I asked he man if Christ did not make wine. He answered, well, if Christ did wrong that Is no reason why we should pat I left him at once. and remembered the words of Jesus, "Give not that which Is holy unto dogs, neither casr your pearls before swine. lest they trample them under their feet and turn again and rCnd you."
 I would like to reach and advise peo- pie before they get that far I ar reminded of the man who was left to guide the ship. He was told to san right towards the North Star, but from some cause he lost sight of his busi- ness, and the ship had turned and the stern was toward the North Star. He woke up the captain and said. Cap Star, now where must l sail.
 Nowhere; down and out. You are not fit for the place"
 So we understand that tht \ rohibi- tionists have sailed clear by the North The capta'A tthe State of Alabama! :! should say. Down and out, we need you no r4M;e. You win cause us. to lose our @kohlHs anu Jou @'S uah- gerous. blind guides"
 When trust is once betrayed from any cause how can confidence be re- stored. It is dangerous to experiment. too much, especially at such critical times.
 As long as have my present mind I can never vote for prohibition, but l will further and aid in every way the true cause of temperance, which I have ever done in all things, as the Scriptures and grace teaches but these insane drastic. unreasonable measures 1 shall oppose first, last and always.
 Yours truly,

especially when he is advocating the right The battle Is not won, and It cannot be won if apathy or over confidence pervades our cause The other side will be active and untirins. and some of them. at least. will be interruptions. They will bring in politics and money and. as far as they can. will use religious prejudice and intolerance to aid their cause. <,
 To some of the leaders of this amendment proposition defeat will mean far more than temporary set. back. It will be the death kneli of their political hopes and office-sssk- ing aspirations. It means that they can no longer deceive and misiead the people in order that a few may be benefited It will mean that the true citizenship of Alabama has been aroused and has asserted itself in way that will be an honor and . credit to themselves and their State and lasting benefit to posterity. '
 Is 1t not a glorious cause to engage in? Is it not cause to arouse and bring out all that is nobiest and best in Alabamas citizenship? The issue is now up to the people themselves. They are to show to the world that the men who assembled here on We'd nesday were representatives of the best sentiment of the people. It is for them to say at the polls, "well done, good and faithful servants" and to endorse by their votes the action of the convention. Will the people of Alabama justify the confidence thus reposed in them, and perform the duty imposed on themf We believe they will. for we have confidence in an aroused sentiment of justice and man. hood. We believe the right will pre- vail in this contest, and shall rely on the people to justify that belief. A wrong and dangerous sentiment has run riot tin Alabama, but in the words of the poet:
 Truth, crushed to earth, shall rise
 again.
 The eternal years of God are hers, But Error, wounded, writhes in pain,
 And dies amid his worshippers.

The Bixue.. of Things.

llpplncOtIS Magazine.
 To the American politician. we seem the greatest people because we have so many votes. The builder and con- tractor comes to the same conclusion because we want so many town houses and country places to contain us Then there's the circumstance that there Is a large balance of trade in our favor 1t Is in our favor, isn't it2 At any rate, it's large. Greatest we are in all things and not least in size. Lafcadio Hearn's marvellous description of New York Ca city walled up to the sky and roaring like the sea'( depends for much of its effectiveness on bigness in numbers and money. 'In that block on the right there dwell 5000 souls; the tenants of the edifice facing 1t pay the annual rent of $1.000.000. Seven mill lions scarcely covered the cost or those bulks overlooking the square beyond and there are miles of such." The American is bit proud that his ratl- roads kill more persons annually than other peoples railroads, and in Bret Harte's How Santa Claus came to San dy Bar" the Sierra AyaisnShe remarks. slns as large as the State of Massachusetts Is now under water"
 You and 1 have a great deal of pen siVe local pride,' and that is as 1t should be. My complaint is that the pride Is in our quantity of things and their size individually-not in the things themselves. Thus the newspa- per editor convinced that the United States is the only place fairly lnhabi- table can with clear conscience print accounts of grating governors and itching congressman. It pleases him CTS, this thought that, rotten as old Europe Is, we are more rotten when We apply ourselves to it.

 At first he was on leave from the navy, but, according to a story told here, his leave had to be extended so often that President Roosevelt save him carte blanche. and upon his direc- tion an order was Issued by Truman H. Newberfy, as acting Secretary of the Navy, July 27, 1908, ordering him to report by letter to the chief of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. flor in structions in making tidal observations along Grant Land and Greenland shores of the polar seas" This order revoked the order of April g. 1907, granting Peary three years leave, prac- tically fifteen months of which had been taken. This order gave Peary the full pay and allowances. and # was learned today at the Navy Department that Peary has, since the date of thi. last order. received pay at the rate of $4,500 a year. or $375 per month, while the general understanding was that the Peary Arctic Club was defraying the expenses of the expedition.
 Acting Secretary Winthrop stated to- day that the order was not secret. though in some manner it escaped pub licity at the time of its issuance. It is somewhat like the case of pr.

Court at Montgomery. made reply this week to the many filings made by Governor Co- mer Judge Thomas c. Jones needs no eulogy from The Star editors pen. Judge Jones has spent his life in Alabama and the and word reply In The Montgomery Adver- tiser the intellect of Judge Jones towers above the Governor of Alabama as iotty snaw-capped mountain towers above the foothills. The reply is clear and manly
 It is creditable to the judge on the Federal bench and finds echo in every heart that beats with love of home and country. It is exactly what might have been ex- pected of Judge Jones. The only pity is that it refers to a man so far beneath nm in the political scale. but Judge Jones makes mention of the fact that Corners Things would never have been noticed were he not the chief executive of the state. Alabama people are rapidly reaching the conclusion that Conner is a dead issue. People gene rally throughout Covington county are De- coming disgusted with his tactics.
