The New Liquor Laws Made For Alabama
Macon Telegraph.)

Alabama got her prohibition law lasl
year, but somehow it did not work
we'll; or at least Its promoters thought
1t did not. and Governor Conner called
an extra session of the Legislature. to
put prohibition In the Constitution,
and to otherwise fortify 1t.
Iti well enough that the limit has
been gone, and the extremer views are
going>to be tried.

c0ntrayenes the basic principle of the
English law. axiom that an accused
person isiunocent until his guilt Is es,
tablished. 1t is not necessary for him
to prove his innocence; the prosecution
must prove his guilt. This doctrine
became q part and parcel of American
law and has justly been regarded as q
bulwark Of liberty and justice. .

Commenting on these facts, the
Memphis Commercial-Appesl declares:
We must say that we rather admire
the dauntless nerve Of the Alabama
statesmen. Ifyou are going to be q
fool, be q darn fool. Fuller, of Bibb,
Sock Thompson. of Tuskegee, and the
other immorals have legisiated against
booze, against near-beer and far.beer,
against coca-cola and all it's kind,
against tea; and before the Legislature
adjourns we would suggest that they
they lift hand against sweet milk,
butter milk and water, and that the
watermelon be quarintined against,
because 1t contains the latter deadly
fluid. If Alabama is to go dry, let her
be as dry as one Comer's speeches.

This attempted readjustment of the
basic principles upon which the
American government was founded,
and maintained for nearly q century
and half, will be watched with in

whose heads are fairly we'll balanced.
There Is but one further step left to be
taken by the fanatics In Alabama, led
by Conner. and that Is to publicly
lynch every man whose breath reveals

that a whiskey breath Is an offense?

To still further curtail the liberties
of the defenseless citizen, q bill has
been passed by the Hon. Socrtes
Thompson, Of Tuskegee, to prohibit
the sale or giving away Of coca-cola
and other drinks that contain caffeine,
or any substitute therefor, on penalty
Of fine and six months, imprisonment,
reckless of the fact that caffeine Is the

would also prohibit q host from serv-

BACK TO THE MUD HOUSE.

The word concrete has sound that
would be expected to warn away ra-
ther than to attract the housekeeper
and home-maker, Its associations are
all OF the sort that have had little or
no interest for women-or for men,
either, who are not employed directly
in the heavy business OF construction
and to whom the lore OF engineering
is a mystery, But very lately as
lately as the last year, or two at the
most, the term or rather the thing it
represents, has come to mean some
thing that has all the charm Of inno-
vation in our everyday life and OF inn
provement in the comfort Of living.
Homes are being built of it-that is
the reason.
Nothing that we do not understand
can interest us, unless it mystifies,
and there is nothing about sand and
gravel or broken stone and cement to
puzzle the senses. To the uninstruct-
ed, little flour, a littel water, with
sugar and salt and butter and yeast
holds as much Of mystery, yet these
are the the very simple materials of
which the housewife makes her bread.
In a whimsical sense concrete may be
called the bread OF the building world,
as fussy overdecoration has long been
called its gingerbread, and it and its
uses are as easy to comprehend and
quite as interesting as the staple Of
our tables.
Cement and sand and stone and wa
ter are the ingredients of the dough"
from which houses are being made.
When they are properly mingled to-
gether, in proportions to suit their
purpose, the mixture is really won
derful thing. II you were to hollow
out house with the labor Of years
years from the solid rock of the ever
lasting hills, you would not have a

ted it simply and easily from this

TOO MUCH LIBERTY FOR COL
LEGE BOYS SAYS WEST
POINTER


NEW YORK, Jan. 2S-- College
students in this country have too
much Liberty, according to Colonel
r. H. Scott commandant Of West
Point. In an address last night Col
0nel Scott said:
"7'he system is based largely on
the German, without regard for the
moral training of the student. This
Is going too far in the direction Of
Hberality. The German student, as
= rule, has had a military training
earlier; there's no such training here,
The freedom of the German system
Is for the man whose habits and char
acter already have been formed. The
American boy who has not had such
formative training, should have the
character formed for him and not
left 10 his individual caprice. The
nation greatly needs larger leaven Of
military discipline, such as West
Point gives, TO increase the respect
for law and for the duties Of citizen
ship, and believe the colleges ought
to furnish it"

TO FLOOD LANDS.
New Manner of Irrigation to be Tried
In California.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S. The
House committee on public lands.
which had under consideration the bill
providing for the flooding Of lands
in California, has reported favorably
on that measure. The land to which
the bill refers is practically valueless
and it is proposed to try an interest
ling experiment with it. It is in the
wash Of the Santa Ana river, near
Redlands, Cal. For almost a half
mile on each bank Of the river there
is no soil whatever and it is pointed
out that boulders, gravel and coarse
sand predominatc Only few ap-
plicants have filed requests for the
land. The Secretary Of the Interior
has withdrawn the land from further
entry
The idea is to I'll this porous land
with water which will sink to bed
rock and it is thought that it will
make its appearance again in the low
er part Of the river, where il may be
diverted into the irrigating channels
and also feed the flowing wells The
report emphasizes the fact that If
these floodwaters are not turned into
the earth they will speed on down the
rivers course and empty into the
ocean without serving any good pur-
pose whatever.
The government incurs no expense
as it merely permits persons to flood
the lands in question.
