A kentuekian's Views.

T am not familiar enough with Alabama politics to make guess at the fate of the prohibition bill in troduced in the legislature by the speaker of the house on Tuesday said s. F. Arlington of Kentucky. but the impression in Birmingham seems to be that this bill and all others of drastic nature will be carried. This measure seeks to abolish liquor from the clubs. If is becomes law 1t will doubtless re- suit in removing the lockers from the leading social clubs; but I would bs willing to make wager that no law that may be adopted at Montgomery will improve the situation In the cities of Alabama from Q temperance point or view.

Mining Operations.

The coal mines of the iron companies are coming to be scenes of busy life once more" said a Jefferson county official who keeps in close touch with the in- dustrial situation. Many men have gone to work within the past two weeks and by the middle of August the output at quite a number of mines will be normal.
 Commercial coal operators, as rule, are still complaining of dull trade but the outlook for their business Is improv- ing. It is safe to say that by septem- Der all the mines in the Birmingham dis trict will be at work on full time"

where a local option or prohibition election was held, but I believe it good thing to keep saloons out of small towns, and I might be induced to vote against saloons in a large city; but as a friend of the temperance cause I do not hesitate to say that legisla- lures in adopting statutory prohibi- tion would act wisely if they were to make exceptions for cities having population of 10000 or 25,0oO and up- ward. If. for instance, Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, Selma, Huntsville and perhaps one or two other cities in Alabama were allowed the local option privilege there would be comparatively little opposition to the prohibition party. The large cities should cer- tainly not be put in a class with small towns.
 Prohibition has been a farce in every large city where it has been tried and why should people expect 1t to be different in Birmingham, where public sentiment is strong on the beer and liquor side?
 But as I am not a voter here submit my views in all modesty And may be I am all wrong. But of one thing I am very sure. So long as the Anti Saloon league tries to force pro- hibition on large cities in any com monwealth. Just so long will political prohibition be an irritating and damaging thing to business interests

As to It's Constitutlonallty.

Col Emmet O'Neals reference to the lack of an extraordinary occasion,' within the meaning of the constitution, in connection with the present extra session of the legislature" said busi- ness man, "caused me to look into that clause of the constitution whi ich reads: The governor may, by proclamation, on extraordinaryA occasions, convene the legislature at the seat of government. or at a different place If, since their last adjournment, that shall have be- come dangerous from an enemy, insur- rection, or other lawless outbreak. or from any infectious or contagious dis ease; and he shall state specifically in such proclamation each matter concern ing which the action of that body is deemed necessary.
 Unless the extraordinary occasion can be construed as the exhaustion of the $50,000 heretofore appropriated for railroad litigation and the necessity of appropriating more money for the poor ly paid lawyers; or that the running at large of blind tigers threatens an instruction and a spread of con tagious disease,' it would seem that the calling together of the legislature was unnecessary. We were just settling down to business when this fuss was started and it seems a pity. It appear: that the advocates of less politics and the simple life are determined to havs peace If they have to fight for It. forgetful of the fact that we were do- ing fairly well and all was not ruin and desolation."

Too Many Elections.

"I have lived and voted In three states, including Alabama, but 1t seems to me that this state has a greater number of elections than the others with which I have been familiar" said business man.
 After a residence here of nearly 10 years I have come to the conclusion that we have entirely too many elections. I am not a politician in the sense of try ing to work myself into office. but take an interest in politics and never fail to vote.
 Tn my humble judgment a city election every three years, and county and state election every four years would be suf- flcient. The election of a congressman must come every two years. of course, but that is a mild matter compared with city county and state campaigns. As 1t is now we are hardly out of one exciting campaign before we are into another. Political contests in former years were not especially disquieting to the business world, but they undoubtedly arc now adays.
 "The so-called reform movements, in- cludng railroad rate reform and prohi- DilioH, nave pttn oSsi " cNDA ness. Along with rate reform came a tendency to antagonizs corporations and capital and we have not yet got over the effects of drastic legislation adopted at tho dictation of the present administra- ton. One of the most progressive cor porations here called of certain largo expenditures for improvements the day that Governor Conner gave notice that he would convene tho legislature in extra session. The work of improvement will no doubt go on after the legislature adjourns, but an executive official of the company re- ferred to said 1t had got to be so that whenever the lawmakers were in session at Montgomery all operators representing large associated capital felt restless and uncertain"
