The Code of Alabama Is now running over with Statewide prohibition laws. With tumuituous shout the extra Statewide act. It was proclaimed far and wide that whiskey had been driven from the State. The mighty blessings had at last come to . wet-ridden com monwealth. No one of the prohibition fists of that day predicted more agita- ton In Alabama.
 In a season of returning prosperity. when of all things rest from agitation was needed, the Legislature was called Though there were sixty-nve subjects mentioned in the Governors call, no one now denies that further patching of the prohibition laws was the real purpose of the session--this and the submission of . constitutional amend ment to continue the agitation.
 Nobody raised any big nowl about the passage of the drastic laws that followed at the extra session. There was e mighty silent voice throughout the State--the sentiment of a people too busy to set up opposition. Doubt less the agitation would have ceased with the adjournment of the extra ses. sion in spite of the tyrannfcal nature of some of the so-called Temperance acts that were put into law. But aei tation was not what some hungry can- didates for office really wanted to stop Indeed. gitation and amending noise was the real desire of these candidates who wished to invest themselves with some interest in the general primary of next year.
 Now, after causing the agitation which Is to shake the State as 1t has not been stirred for forty years 1t is advanced that the proposed amendment to the constitution will put an end to agitation. This is the central argu- ment of the extreme prohibitionists. It rang monotonously through the halls of both Houses of the Legislu- ture when they voted to submit the amendment to the people. But history gives back convincing answer to the misleading claims of the pro-amend. ment people.

NO BIG CELEBRATION

 Daseball Game in zN Afternoon.

Observed in many states as a legal holiday, Labor Day on Monday will not be celebra to any great extent in Montgomery nor throughout the State. In the big manufacturing centres the day will doubtless be marked with great parades and much speech-mak- fng. '.
 Although on most calendars as . national holiday. the State of niabama does not recognize 1t as compulsory. The offices at the State Capitol will. therefore. remain open all day though 1t is probable that little business will be transacted.
 That there win be no r@rades in Montgomery by white iaboref.. or pub ,.iic exercises of any kind. Is the state ment by the union leaders of the city. There will be no work done on Mon day, but all ideas of a celebration of a public nature have been abandoned.
 The most striking feature of the day will be a double -he to be played at the Capitol Heights Park. It had first been arranged to have morning game and an afternoon game, but through the request of President cham bers. the morning game will be trans ferred to the afternoon.
 The City Council will meet regularly Monday night, but will adjourn imme- diately to either Tuesday or Weunes- day night. At the special meeting held week ago. the matter was dis cussed, but it was determined that the Aldermen must come together accordin g to the City Code, even if they took im- mediate adjournment.
 All the banks of the city will remain closed, and the clerks in the public buildings will be given half holiday. if not the whole day.
