Many an amender-parson who has
got deep into the mire of dirty politics
will have a touch of remorse, perhaps,
after 1t Is all over. But some of these
political pastors have become so intem-
perate in their language and so I'M
Christian in their Judgment of anti
amenders who assert themselves and
express their convictions that 1t will
not be easy for them to get back to
anything resembling Christlike traits
which are supposed to go with the
cloth. The campaign will soon be
over. however, and let us all pray that
may once more prevail.

Glad When It Is Over.

"A great many people will be glad
when the election to decide the fate of the
amendment is over" said newcomer
who has not resided here long enough to
vote. There are many residents of Bir-
mingham who, from one cause or an
other, are not qualified to exercise the
right of suffrage. These and the thou
sands of fair women who take no part in
politics must grow tired of the political
headlines, and especially the headlines
Of the Misrepresentation in some of the
amendist papers and campaign leaflets.
IT have been through many cam
paigns In Kentucky, but I do not recall
one that was quite so bitter as the amend
ment campaign just closing. 1t is the
only campaign. too, which has come I'M
der my observation that involved the
churches. If I had vote I would cast
1t against the amendment, although l am
opposed to the saloon business.
1.-The defeat Of the amendment will have
a cheering effect on business conditions
here. With all the new enterprises In
sight the outlook for prosperity Is great
er than ever. The defeat Of the amend
ment will have far-reaching influence
for good and will accelerate the coming
on Of the greatest era of thrift In the
history OF the Birmingham district"

stated Mr.. Coleman. IT told them that
the saloons should never be returned to
Alabama; that l. personally, am opposed
to them; that whisky in It's abuse Is EVIL;
that whisky has destroyed many fine
minds and sent many young men to ruin
and perdition I agreed with every argu-
ment that the amenders have advanced
in this campaign.
st then informed the people that the
question is not one of whisky, and pro-
ceeded with my argument against the
amendment"

JOHN PERRYs BOOK.
ne Macon Ca Telegraph.

From the Macon (Ga-) Telegraph.
All the old-timers in the printing Of
fees, and many others In Macon, will re-
member Mr.. John A. Perry, one OF the
stick-and-rule printers who made Macon
his home for years In the long ago, and
before the days of the linotype machines.
Mr.. Perry drifted away as the typesettins
machines came in and has been at last
heard from as an author over In Ala
bama-
He has issued what appears to be a
neat little book with the following as q
title page:
Brevity is the soul of wit.
ALABAMA
A complete record-showing what has
been accomplished for the benefit
of the public under the
administration of the
Prohibition Party.
Compiled by John A. Perry,
Birmingham. Alabama. Sept. 1902
In demand all over the world.
Price is cents.
Naturally one opens the book to see
what the record in the way of bene-
fits to the public is under prohibition
But between the covers is nothing but
some 30 or more blank pages.
Many years ago Mr.. Perry, when the
machines drove him out of the printing
offices. thought he would make living
selling an INCREASING fluid. He walked
in store and going to the desk of the
bookkeeper deliberately turned the bottle
of ink over the clean page of the ledger.
Before the astonished and Mortified book
keeper could gather strength and anger
sufficiently to kick him out of the Of
flee, Perry was applying his INCREASING
fluid, keeping up a running description
Of what his wonderful fluid would do,
even-to wipfng out the stains on charac-
tiers. So well did he display his nerve
that he sold bottle instead of being
kicked out Of the store

The poets of power and passion

They teach us to plot and to plan.
Oh, they are the strong ones. the smiters
The sesrs and the prophets Of wrath,
who summon the swords Of the fighters
To clear for our progress pathl
But what shall be said of the singer
whose song has no purpose or plan?
The bard who 10 only br1nger
OF Joy to the spirit Of mani
shall he be despised and neglected
As useless or Vicious or vain7
Shall he be rebuked and rejected,
And silenced with scorn and disdain?
All, no. lot him sing, let him fling us
HIS song with purpose or art;
The lark does not stir W or sting US,
And yet he IL dear to the heart.
All praise to the poets Of duty
Who rouse us to wrestle with wrong.
