The Ledger and Wines.
Birmingham Ledger.

Birmingham Ledger.
For nearlv fifteen years The Birm-
ingham Ledger has advocated the cult
ure of the grape in the hill counties,
and advocated the making OF wine from
those grapes as a temperance meas
ure. This Is known to all the people of
upper Alabama.
When the question seriously arose a
few weeks since as to whether the law
now forbids making domestic wines
and whether the amendment we are
going to adopt will forbid it, The
Ledger owed 1t TO the people It had ad-
vised to plant grapes and make wines
to tell them that it thought the law
does forbid 1t, and that the amend
ment will forbid it. sur
The Ledger supported prohibition.
because the time had come when the
open saloon had to be closed. The
amendment prohibiting the making and
the sale of liquors because IL is consId-
cred by the friends of prohibition as
being necessary to keep the liquor bus
mess out of Alabama.
The Ledger f1rst of all papers In the
State advocated Statewide prohibition
and a quick settlement Of the liquor
question.
The anti -amendment forces are now
circulating the little editorial opinion
on home made wines as a document or
their side. The little article was nee.
eseary to the safety of the people The
Ledger had Induced to plant hillsides
in grapes. 1t was to them the word o.
a friend to keep them from violating a
law already in existence.
1t IS impossible to prevent an ad.
versary from twisting words In a cam.
paign. but The Ledger feels that thu
people of Alabama know that II Is frs
of all honest and square. When con,
licting statements were made hun.
dreds of people with small vineyard.
looked to The Ledger for an opinion
that they could rely upon.
There are two ways to avoid the
drastic part OF the law, and one is FOL
the grand juriea to refuse to indie
and the other Is for the Governor Il
pardon those who make wine. Severe
judges have indicated this as u wa,
out, and the Governor has distinctly
said that he will pardon any. woman
convicted of making wine. So Their,
seems to be no danger from the law.
The Ledger has for. weeks advised
its readers to vote for the amendment
and It, so advises them now. We car
vote this amendment In. and after W,
get the LIQUOR business settled, we cal

Business conditions at this place and

gone far toward relieving the failure
in yield and complaints on the latter
account are scarcely ever heard.

convince anybody else-that the sane

follow II. They way they wriggle and

Anew CRIME.

The Louisville Courier-Journal tells
lof the queerest case of theft we have
yet heard OF. 1t seems that q man in
Chicago had a house which ne rented

ing to receive his check on October
he went out to see about 1t and found
only vacant lot Somebody had
stolen the house, lock. stock and bar
rel" and made off with it, leaving
nothing but the bare ground where
the building had stood. The Courier
journal thus comments ON it:

there should not be much difficulty in

thief can be located.
seems to US that this case involves
some nice questions of law in order to
decide on the nature of the crime COM
mitted. When one breaks into a
house It lie called burglary, and pun
sished as such. II a man enters a
house and takes anything of value
he can be tried and punished for lar
ceiy, but when he steals the house
itself how can he be tried for either
OF these crimes? The Columbus En-
quirer-Sun assumes that this offense
would come under the head of larceny
/, Of house, not from a house, but we
doubt II there Is any law on the stat
+. ute books of Georgia that would cover
; the case.
Then again. as we understand the
Z law and the rules. a house in held to
be part of the realty on which It is
: built. and If that is the case was not
part of the real estate stolen In this
instance? If This is true, what is the
nature of the crime referred to? If
the man had carried off the lot as
i, well as the house would the case have
been more complete than as it is?
They should be able to locate the stol-
en- property. unless it has been total
: ly destroyed, and they may catch the
thief. but II they do we are curious to
/. know what crime they will try him
for.

while soma Of the amendment L.

While some Of the amendment lead
ers are trying to make the people be-
lieve that the second section of that
measure does not mean what 1t says.
others are trying to conyince the peo-
pie that If it is adopted no Legisla-
ture will enact such extreme laws as
that section authorizes The voters of
Alabama should place no confidence
/ in either disclaimer. Section 2'is plain
enough and means just what it says.
and If the measure is adopted the
Legislature will be again called to-
gether and will pass just such laws
as the bosses draw up. The only safe
road for Alabama is to bury the
amendment so deep that no such in
EQUITY will ever again be attempted.
