THE ALABAMA ELECTION.

From the Macon Telegraph.
Fanaticism, combined with politi-
cal designs, rode on the black camel
in Alabama Monday.
Nobody denies the fact that a great
prohibition wave has been rolling
over the country, or doubts that
there was just cause for some sort
of revolution against the whiskey
habit
But some politicians would ride on
their grandmother coffin just as
they would ride on the prohibition
camel, or the republican elephant, or
the democratic ass for the glory of
brief triumph in the game of poll
tics.
Alabama, like Georgia, has statu-
tory prohibition. AS in Georgia,
governor and a legislature elected
on local option platform went fur
Their and made a statewide prohibi-
ton law. From a political point of
view it seemed good, and promised
a fruitful field for further exploita-
ton. The governor called an extra
session of the same body that made
the statewide law and submitted
several drastic amendments to the
new law, and also an amendment to
the constitution making prohibition
a part of the fundamental law, all
of which the legislature ratified.
One of the amendments to the statu-
tory law gave the right to search
private homes for liquors, and the
right of seizure. The constitutional
amendment submitted had to be rati-
fed by a vote of the people. On this
amendment they voted Monday, and
it was overwhelmingly defeated.
1t was intended to confirm and
maintain the right of search and seiz-
ure in private homes, fearing that
without such provision in the fun
damental law the courts might de-
clare the new statutory law uncon-
stitutional and void.
If the amendment had been adopt
ed it could not have been repealed
except by two-thirds vote. Against
the right of petty officers to enter
and search the home, and against the

THE MAIL ORDER BUSINESS.

The Emporia, (Kan) Gazette Sc
verely criticises the people of that
place who patronize mail order
houses and buy their goods away
from home
The Gazette says: ''The man who
buys his goods of a mail order house
and expects his neighbors in Emporia
to buy goods of him or to buy labor
of him, or to buy professional SER
vice of him, is economically leech.
He is sucking industrial blood out
of the town and gives none back. He
sends his profits out of town like a
Chinaman, and has no more right to
a standing in the community than a
foreigner We are all neighbors in
!dustrially in this town, and the man
who sends away for his goods is not
one of us. He is of another indus
trial system, and deserves no mans
support in Emporia.
This is vigorous but not unjust,
says the Macon Evening News. In
every community people must give
as we'll as take. We are all depend
ent on each other, and when one di-
verts his expenditures to distant mer-
chants he not only takes directly
from others in the community what is
due them, but he indirectly Injuries
himself in detracting from the gen.
eral welfare of his city. Besides,
goods bought away from home under
the inducement of specious offers sell
dom pan out. 1t is more satisfactory
and will be found cheaper in the end
to select what one wants from goods
one can see and examine before one
buys.
