 There are two factions in the polit- ical field today. touching the proposeat Amendment to the Constitution.

 This is the sophistical and slanderous charge hissed out against many brave and true, upright and consclehtlous men. who are lovers Of their country. of Their State, of civil liberty, Of their homes and fire-sides. These brave ana true men are fighting the amendment on account of the roundabout, mean. and sneaking method inyoiVHo- tns saeond section. the purpose of which IS 10 evade certain clauses In the Cohstltu- tion of Alabama, which are now 'pu' : wark of protection to the heaF'ns ~"N

 How could governor sign 2 iaw ply to all alike? The amen-ders were in a horrible quandary until they cut the Gordian knot by declaring that .'manufacturen did not mean da ahahcaa cnso- pIete loop of the loop and declared that the present laws of Alabama 20 not prevent a man from making his cordiaIs. wine, white-lightning and red-eye, inviting his friends In ana having all kinds of jollifica ton; IT that is really the kind of prohibition elect a Legislature that has horse sense enough to accomplish what It sets out to do. But they tell us that for private consumption. you had bet. ter get a federal distiller's license and then they tell you that possession or such a license is sufficient to convict you of violating the state law. when they reach this point they begin 10 yell barroom buns. whiskey soaFs. de- famers, blasphemers, and few other choice ePithsts they carry to ,tS sppIS sSem aS They put on and off their facts" as a chameleon changes his color to suit the foliage surrounding him.

 The Governor called out his appointees and all loyal cotton mill men ana all would be jury commissioners and al would be office holders. and Judge Weakley called out everybody who was willing to help him be governor, ana inc merry-go round started.
 The speakers spend haif oi tneif allotted time praising prohibition, nat of the remainder praising the Fuiler law, half of the remainder, abusing the personnel of the Montgomery con vention and just before they close they say something about the amendment. The peroration usually consists of the paearl of the Pharisee who thanked God that he was not as other men. They are long on platttudes but ex- trenely short on argument. They rob inc grave of dead Issues and parade them ghouI-like before a smiling people They turn a church house into a political hall gather crowd | of women and children and few | scattering brethren of voting age and then take a vote, afterwards de- | ciaring the sentiment unanimous for | the amendment All of which we steAdfastly do not believe.

SUNDAY. OCTOBER 10, 1909.
A RIG JOB.

The following item which appears in an exchange is not without inter- est:
 \ The late General Ben Butler, of Mas sachusetts left behind him a state to Abraham Lincoln: MT. President. calculations as to the power of the South. and I assure you that, using all your naval vessels and all the mer- chant marine. 1t to cross the. seas you to transport them to the nearest them-and that Is the island of san drsn viii be born here. '
 Butler was about as obnoxious to the South as any man well could be, but he appears to have been good observer. The talk. of transporting the former slaves to some other coun- try was freely, induised in about the close of the war. Whether the object was to relieve the South of what some people thought would be a dangeroui incubus: or whether the object was tc punish Southern people by deprivine them of farm labor, or whether 1t was due to feeling of mistaken kindness to the negroes themselves, we cannot say. but we know that 1t was much discussed by some Northern people. Butler did not greatly exaggerate the job. in our judgment of taking the four or i've millions of negroes out of the country. and no doubt Lincoln saw and appreciated the impossibility of such an undertaking.

ANOTHER INFAMOUS PROVISION.

There are so many sections in the weakiey- Fuller bill that as new ideas for bedeviiing the people occurred they were in between sections and given fractional numbers For in- stance we have Section 2s Ia That provides as follows:
 And no person who testified with re- spect to any unlawful act under this statute or other statute for the sup. shall be prosecuted in respect to any act to which he testifes nor shall his evidence so given be used against him in any criminal proceeding
 This section completely breaks down the slight protection that citizen of a State has against the interruptions man who Is willing to commit perjury. Suppose a man had bitter enemy and he would go before a magistrate and testify that the man had sold. or was keeping at his home whiskey H. legally. or for some other violation of the prohibition law. and swear out search warrant The sheriff would be compelled to execute it. The papers throughout the State would herald the fact that this mans home. perfectly law-abiding citizen. had been search- ed. It would necessarily turn out. of course, in such a case of malice that the search warrant was unfounded and that the party making the affida- wit had committed perjury. Still un-- der this law he could frankly state that he had sworn to a faisehood and had committed perjury and there would be no way to redress the wrong done, except to violate the law by us- ing means that no iaw-abiding citf- zen wants to be forced to resort to. Perjury. since the organization of the State. has been looked upon as a most heinous felony; so much so. that it disfranchises man. Still the sec ton of the Weakley-Fuller law above quoted strikes down this safeguard against the, awful offense of perjury.

Children differ in mental capacity AS they differ in physical appearance and 1t is impossible for some to advance
 as fast as others do. It may be that as a general thing our schools are so
 crowded that 1t Is physically impos- sible for teachers to consult and be
 governed by the ability and capacity of each pupil, but we do know. that whatever may be the cause the slow pupils are sometimes made to suffer mental tortures because their school mates outstrip them. and they are made to feel that they can never amount to anything. They may not commit suicide. but they suffer more than the world knows.

ga-s< What the State Paper,
 Are Saying and Doing

What's the Use.
 Andaiusla Star.
 Great Is the Fuller-licker bill! Gov ernor Conner says of 1t: ."If you want to make wine, make 1t, and if you're I'll pardon you" What's the use of having a law if the Governor offers to pardon all who break it?
 Holding Up on Searches. Huntsville Mercury Banner.
 The very severe criticisms received by the Birmingham police for search ing the valises of young lady on the streets while en route from the station an order that they must be more care- ful in future and act only on the aff1- dait of some responsible person. This is another section of the Fuller bill made ineffective. By the time the courts and the officials get through with 1t 1t will be worn to frazzle.
 New Dress.

 We are near the fourteenth anniver> sary of our purchase of The Home. Some friends tell us that the prosper ity of the paper has been marked and to them a pleasing feature of its existence. We feel grateful for the such kindly expressions.s We hope to deserve continuance of their good will and patronage. With this issue the paper puts on a dress of new type that Is sufficiently pleasing to the eye to be appreciated by every reader.

owner Of Melin's place. The sale was
made through a third party, but It is

Rockefeller had an object, too.
Melin's license expired July I and

consent of the property owners with

the. situation it was Impossible for
anyone else, to get a license, SO Melin
could not sell his place to anyone else

could pay Rockefeller's price. It. was
shrewd and cunning work that, en-

NO EXTRA SESSION
OF: STATE LAWMAKERS
Governor johnson Sees no Reason
for Converting Legislature in
Special Session.
No Question at Present of Such
Surprising Importance as to
Demand Such Action.

ST. PAUL, July 29.-There is little
likelihood of a special session of the
minnesota legislature, notwithstand-
ing all the talk Of such a contingency.
Governor Johnson, after discussing
the effects of the pork barrer' de-
c1sion Of the supreme court, has come
to the conclusion that the: do not call
for an extraordinary assembly of the
state legislators.
= In my opinion there will be no
special session." said Governor john
son, "and that is about as fair a way
as can state the sitlation. This is
not unalterable, Of course, and If anv
question should arise of such surpass-
ing Importance that legislative action
will be required in advance of the
regular session, I. shall not, of course.

gether. .. u

although I had my personal doubts as
to the proprtety Of masking the appro-

no urgent demand for an extra session
