Teachers Examinations.

Those who desire to take the examina- tion for teachers in the public schools of the state may do so as they have always done. The legislature made a law chang ing this, but it does not become effective until the first of next December so, until that time special examina tions may be taken as they always have been. After that time, however, there will be only three examinations a year, all in the coun- ties, without any specials. However, per- mission to teach until the next examina- tion day will be given all who desire to have them.

League Originated in Church.

MT. Bowie in his argument undertook to meet the allegation that there is no politics in the present campaign and that the Anti-Saloon league mas nothing to do with the church proper He quoted from an official organ of the Anti-Saloon league in which the national secretary writing in that paper praises the Geor- gia local option law as being truly Amer ican and truly democratic, and, quoting another article by California writer, he showed where the Anti-Saloon leagne originated in the church and where that writer states that the leagues fight against liquor will never be successful un- til the majority of its members are will ling to temporarily leave their party and support league candidates MT. Bowie emphasized the quoted statement that ef- fective league work means constant lobby
 ing, members in the legislature, "a nd an acquaintance with political means and political tricks.''

Poll Tax Rulinu.

Interest attaches to a discussion of the time when a young man must begin to pay poll tax, and the story is about as follows: In 1907 Attorney General Garber ruled that man becoming H any time before the first day of October was liable for the tax that year. In the extra ses- a bill providing that no tax could be col lected for a fractional part of year. Now comes along the supreme court and says that this act can be no more than a con- struction of the constitution on the part of the legislature and is not binding. Hence, the matter falls back to the prin- clple enunciated in the Garber opinion and those coming of age prior to October must pay their poll taxes.

Definition of Temperance.

Senator Moody referred to the definition of the recent Baptist convention at Louis vile as defining temperance as "a total abstinence from that which is bad or a moderate use of that which is bad" The amendists have gone so far in their tenn perance legislation, he said, that they have become incorporate, exceeding all bounds of moderation. Dividing the tenn perance question into two classes, he termed the anti-amendists the moderate or conservative class and the amendists the extremists or radicals.
 He cited the experience of the South American republics, where constitutions have been made and abolished, altered and amended so often that every new one is considered merely as a contribl- ton to the literature of the day. We should avoid this extreme," he said, ''as our constitution should be considered a sacred document to be amended only in cases of urgent necessity, and never in a case where there is a large division of sentiment"
 MT. Moody stated that he believed the present constitution should not be amend ed in this instance and that the burden of proof rests upon the amendists to show that it could be amended.
 His address was frequently applauded by those present.

Maintains Paid Lobby.

NdItlcftfS d'o 1Obpys
 Referring to the statement of Judge Weakey that the enactment of the pro- posed amendment would not prohibit citi- zens of Alabama from keeping whisky in their homes he cited the fact that the league keeps a constant paid lobby at Washington in an effort to secure the pas sage of a law preventing the shipment of whisky into dry territory from other states where it Is sold. Referring to Mir Brooks Lawrence as the czar of the league in Alabama, he quoted Swiss writer, who said, Unhappy Is that land on whose judgment seat the stranger sits"
 MT. Bowie enumerated IA or 15 states where prohibition has been tried and proven a failure. The provisions of the Fuller bill which he said creates gov ernment by injunction, abrogate the right of trial by jury, change a presumption of innocence to that of guilt, and do away with the sanctity of the home, have been tried in other states and have been rejected. The people of Alabama might stand for these hardships which have been forced upon them by a minority in the statutory form for a time, he said but they will not have such condition of things maintained by putting these provisions into the constitution.
 Search and Seizure Feature.
 If as Judge Weakley says, the pro- posed amendment prohibits the keeping of whisky only in soft drink stands, MT. Bowie said he wondered why Judge Weakley did not specify this point He stated that under the amendment the leg isature has the power to repeal all laws, but has no power to adopt substitutes in their place, and MT. Bowie further de- nied the fact that it will be as easy to repeal the amendment as 1t is to en- act it, stating that it will take a three fifths vote in the legislature to repeal the measure and the further fact that the people will not vote as readily after calm deliberation as they will now under ex- citement.
 MT. Bowie strongly denounced the ad- ministration for forcing the election for the amendment upon the people at this time He stated that had they waited 10 months longer, allowing the large number of delinquent voters to pay their poll tax and vote on the proposition, the pubic schools of the state would have received over s5O0000 and it was only through fear of the defeat of their cause that the amendists called the election within the time limit The first prohibition laws Governor Conner acknowledged Ito be g failure and any laws which will not stanc a test for 15 months he said, should no' be put in the constitution.
 MT. Bowie was given an ovation at the conclusion of his speech.

Montgomery, September 24.-(Special.)- The proclamation of the governor call ing the election on the prohibition amend ment, to be held the fifth Monday in Mo- vember, the twenty-ninth day, Is now be- ing mailed to papers and will appear as advertisements in the next few days. Private Secretary J. D. McNeel, with the rest of the office force, is quite busy get ting the proclamations to the various pa- pers in the 67 counties. Incidentally this will mean a neat little sum of money for the papers.
 It is provided that the election shall be in the same way and manner as other state elections including the registration of such voters as may have come of age during the year, on Friday and Saturday next preceding the election. The returns shall be made In regular way and the amendment adopted as a part of the law on the proclamation of the governor that a majority of the voters had voted in the affirmative.
 The meat of the proposed amendment is found in this paragraph: Section 1. The manufacture, sale and keeping for sale of alcoholic and malt liquors and other intoxicating beverages shall be for ever prohibited in this state; but alcohol may be sold for medicinal, scientific and mechanical purposes, and wine for sacra- mental purposes, under such regulations as the legislature may have prescribed or may hereafter prescribe. Sec. 2. Nothing in the constitution of Alabama shall be construed to prevent the legislature. un- der the police powers, from designating places where such liquors may not be stored ar kentn

Costs Refunded to State.

The state has received $232D5 55 from three of the rail lines contesting state laws, a result of having won on appeal to the United States circuit court of appeals. 1t was paid in by Maj. R. E. Steiner, dis trict counsel for the lines, as follows: Central of Georgia, $132060; Western of Alabama, S622 So; Central Trust company of New York, sS1 .35. The Louisville and Nashville and allied lines are yet to pay their amounts, as follows: Louisville and Nashville, S27S9.35; South and North. $2109.S5; Nashville Chattanooga and St. Louis, $694. 60.
 These rail lines brought suit to prevent the enforcement of the rate and regula- ton acts of the 1907 session of the legis- lature, pending the trial of which injunc- tions were issued restraining such en- forcement. The roads won in the dis trict court at Montgomery, and the state appealed. Under the rules of the fed- eral court all who appeal must deposit the money for costs. This was done by the state which, having won it's case in the higher court gets it's money back, the burden being shifted to the parties who brought the original action.

AnthropoIoqicaI Society.

The regular monthly meeting of the Ala bama Anthropological society was held on the evening of the 23d inst, with J. T.. Letcher at his home, 53 South Goldthwaite street, Montgomery. The president, Dr. Thomas M. Owen, presided. There was a good attendance. After the regular routine business the paper of the evening was presented by MT. Letcher on "The Mounds of Macon County, Alabama
 MT. Letcher has made personal trips to and an examination of each and every mound site in the county, and he gave To- cation and descriptions, with his con- clusions as to the time of erection and probable use of each. He brought out the fact that most of the sites in the coun- ty are located near each other and in the western section of the county. He places these mounds in the domiclliary class. Very few archaeological remains are to be met with on or near these sites. His Investigations proved that the mounds were in the main of considerable an- tiquity. It appears that the historians of the early settlement of this territory do not refer to any mounds near the towns of that day.

 BOWIE AND MOODY Set Forth Argument Against Amendment At AnniSton BOTH ARE APPLAUDED Bowie Says Amenders Are Taking the "keeley Cure" and Moody Insists
 They Reform Themselves Be-
 fore Reforming Others.
BOTH ARE APPLAUDEL

Ann1SL0n, SeptemDer Z4-(SpeC1al.)- With Ebert D. Willett presiding and the circuit court room of the Calhoun coun- ty courthouse well filled, the campaign against the proposed prohibition amend ment to the constitution was launched here this afternoon. The speakers were Frank s. Moody of Tuscaloosa and Syd- ney J. Bowie of Birmingham, and their addresses were considered different from any that have yet been delivered in that they undertook to meet the arguments of the amendists with their own thunder
 MT. Bowie quoted the statement that while the anti-amendists are working and speaking against the proposed amend ment, many of the amendists are taking the Keeley cure; and this was considered to be directly in line with the argument of MT. Moody, that men who undertake to reform others should first reform themselves. He expressed strong disap- proval of the so-called political parson," and stated that their classification of all ani-amendists as supporters of liquor and allies with liquor interests suggested the remark of Christ to his enemies You call me & wine bibber, friend of pub licans and sinners" Good men, he said, are more likely to go to extremes than bad men, and as an instance of this he cited the crucifxion of Saint Stephen by Jewish ecclesiastics, one of whom was Paul, who said, Let your moderation be known to all men,

For State Sanitarium.

That the Anti-Tuberculosis league of Montgomery will do all in it's power 10 persuade the Governor of Alabama to let go the appropriation for state sani- tarium for consumptives was indicated yesterday in an interview with Dr. Gas ton J. Greil chairman of the executive committee of the Anti-Tuberculosis league. Dr. Greil declared that the league can do only half the work it would do when it has no sanitarium to which to send the suffering men and women who apply for aid.
 More than two years ago the legislature with but little opposition created state sanitarium for consumptives Machinery was provided for organizing the official forces of the institution and an appropri- ation of $40,00O was made for the construc- tion of the necessary buildings and the purchase of a site and necessary equip ment. There was also appropriated $100O0 for the maintenance of the institution. It was provided that the Governor should disburse $20.000 by or before September 30, 1907 $1O,OOO by or before September %. 1908; 5000 by or before September 3O 1909 and 5000 by or before September 30, 1910.

city on Wednesday. The attendance
was large. comprising nearly hundred
banking representatives from all over
the State; and IN the makeup of the
organization, the official positions were
wcll distributed geographically. And
strong and well placed.
We believe that in every state in the
Union the bankers are organized, have
| yearly meetings, and send delegates TO
the conventions of the National Bank
crs' Association. These annual meet
ings arc made much of by the financial
publications, and at them arc read val
liable papers not only on banking and
finances generally. but on public revenue
and expenditure, and on the finances
of the Nation, the State. and Of various
municipalities. The National currency
laws arc discussed, and propositions for
amendment made. Last year when Con
gress presented the antiquities and
contradictions which came TO be known
as the Aldrich currency bill, warn.
ing came from the bankers that it was
unworkable, and so it proved, yet the
Senate insisted upon it. in spite of the
express warning of the bankers. And
in many other ways the bankers of the
country have sought to aid Congress
and State Legislatures in framing cul
rency aud financial legislation, failing
often, but generally being vindicatcd in
the long run.
We trust that the Utah Bankers AS |
sociation may have unlimited years Of |
vitality and usefulness, and that its
members may devote themselves to pub.
lie questions freely, rising above the
mere routine Of their daily affairs and |
of their desks. With many forms Of |
public action, none others than bankers |
are as competent TO deal; and as eX-
pert advice is sought In other lines Of |
active affairs, so il ought TO be in
these. The bankers of Utah viii often
have opportunities TO make their innu-
ence felt for good in public affairs; and
we trust that they may be neither reti.
cent nor backward when occasion arises.
