cor AHEAD or us.

All the late talk about Mars and the Martians reminds . contributor to The Washington Herald that Emanuel Swsdenborg. the celebrated Swedish philosopher and theosophist, claimed to have held an interview with Mar tan nearly two centuries ago. The face." he says. "was like that of the inhabitants of our earth. but the tower region of the face was black. not from . beard. for he had none. but from blackness In place of it. This black ness extended on both sides as far as the ears The upper part of the face was yeliowish. like the faces of the inhabitants of our earth who are alto ssther white. These spirits said, fur ther. that on their earth they eat the fruits of trees. especially a certain round fruit which grows up out of the ground. and also ieguminous plants; they are clothed with garments made out of the bark dhrss of certain trees. of such consistency that they can be woven. and also glued together by a kind of gum which they have among them. They further related that they know how to make fluid fires. from which they have light during the evening and night"
 This may me of interest to those who believe in the possibility of hold- ing communication with the inhabi- tants of another planet. If there are such inhabitants, and 1t may serve as a pointer to those who wish to fake an interview with some of the Mars people, while the planet Is nearest us.
 If there is ever to be any getting ac- auainted with them. now is about the best time that is likely to arrive. for 1t will be a long while before they again come near us.
 It win be noticed that swedenborg's Martian differs from some of the later specimens that have been described. but perhaps the lapse of nearly two centuries accounts for 1t. As to that matter. the specimens portrayed for us by some of the late windjammers difEsr very widely. However. perhaps they do not diner more widely than do the denixens of our own little world. If the Swedish interviewer gavc a correct description of them. and any Of them should make a visit to us. we don't think they win have any room to criticise our looks for we are vain enough to think the ugiiest of us lays over his specimen. so far as appearance and beauty are con- cerned.
 Vt might think such a being as described would have A curious appearance. with the lower part of his face black. but what would he be likely to think of one of our Eartnians with half his face covered with hair7 He would probably con- ciuds that hs had fallen among a race Of animals the like of which could not be found on his planet, On, the whole. perhaps. we wouldn't have much to bras on. especially from his point of view. 50 honors would be easy, An the same. we'd Ike to see one of 'em.

Jackson, state chairman of the campaign committee of the amenders. At the Bijou theater the amendment men held forth. w. A. Covington, of Georgia, one of the strong prohibition advocates of the South. was the principal speaker. Many women were in this audience. There was frequent applauding Mir. covington will devote the entire week for the amendment in Jefferson coun- ty.

Jasper N6Wos
 The Birmingham Ledger. one of the few daily papers of the state advocat- ing the proposed constitutional amend m ent, writes a most remarkable edi- torial under the caption The Ledger and Wines" which Is calculat- ed to make a horse laugh: and shows rather low estimate of written law The editorial contains the following startling paragraph:
 ''There are two ways to avoid the drastic part of the law, and one is for the grand juries to refuse to indict and the other Is for the governor to pardon, those who make wine. Sew eral judges have indicated this az a way out, and the governor has dis- tinctly said that he will pardon any woman convicted of making wine. So there seems to be no dan%"r from the law"
 What right has @ sworn grand jury to Ignore any written law. whether in It's judgment that law be wise or unwise, popular or unpopular. Any law unworthy in9uisitorial action or or that Is set aside by the wink. of an executive. is unworthy of place in the statutes of Alabama; and danger ous to our autonomy of government.

Speaking of Colonel watterson. The Buffalo News asks: Wasn't 1t he who said that one kind of whiskey, might be better than another. but there Is no such thing as bad whiskey?" Well. the man who first used that expression lived in Randolph County. Alabama. and used 1t when the Kentucky editor was boy. No doubt Colonel Henri often uses the phrase. however.

Down To It's Last Anaiynis

 The amendment question is getting down to it's last analysis. Both sides seem to be arriving at the conclusion that the whole fact Is just an ef- fort to have the administration of Governor Conner endorsed by vote of the people. elect officials to con tinue his policies ana land him in the limited States Senate. Just politics pure and simple, ax we have told you an along. Conner don't give flip of his finger for prohibition nor for any body or anything except for Conner and his interests. Day Is breaking at last.

"stored or Kept" ror4 Dc unN Record

Fort Payne Record.
 labored editorials attempting to prove that section of the proposed apend- ment cannot be aimed at the home. for they say the word "stored" could not mean the keeping of a bottle of whiskey in the home. After the word stored there are two other words these editors have overlooked. These words are "or kept" Yes. that is the way 1t reads stored or kept" The Leglsla- ture shah have power to say where wine, beer or whiskey shall not be kept Put that in your pipe and smoke 1t. Don't be misled by spacious argu- ments. stick to the text. Here It is read 1t:
 "Section ?. Nothing in the consti- tuition of Alabama shall be construed to prevent the legislature under the police power from designating places where such liquors may not be stored or kept"
 If this Is adopted the Legislature can say that wine, beer or whiskey cannot be kept in the home

 Said Pascal, Truth on this side of the Pyrenees, falsehood on the other side" He could say 1t today on most matters ethical, moral, artistic or fash Ionable. as witness the interesting chat which only few days since engaged a party of women when the theme chanced to be the ideal husband. Waffle there were dozen in the group the opinions of four were best worth set ting down, and they all disagreed lay ishIy. Of these four one was very smart woman, the wife of banker. one the wife of a German professor, one a Parisienne whose husband is of the French legation at Washington, and her cousin a young Spanish woman. It. was agreed that the Philadelphian. be- ing on her native soil. should speak first.
 The American.
 America" she began. 'is admittedly the land of superlatives. It has often been said that we have the tallest buildings, the greatest money makers the yellowest newspapers. the fastest automobiles, the readiest imaginations. and the slowest courts in the world. But we do not boast the most ideal husbands.
 "This may sound uncharitable. espe- cla1ly as the typical American husband Is as hard-working. kind and generous as any, but that Is not everything. It certainly is delightful to be able to buy an expensive hat without needing to ask for permission to do so; 1t is charm ing to be independent and to know that your husband has the excellent notion that a woman Is as good as any man Then, again. we have more independ- ence than the women of other coun tries.
 Tt is pleasant to have a husband who never discusses money matters and does his best to make his wife's daily life more comfortable. But .' There was a sad ring in the voice O. this American belle as she pronounced
