The Bee would suggest to the
chief of police, Major Sylvester
to recommend to the Commits
sioners the passage of regula-
tions prohibiting persons under
the influence of liquor riding on
street cars. No man or woman
should be permitted to ride on a
street car who is in the least, un-
der the influence Of liquor or any
kind Of intoxicant. 1t is embar-
RAISING to ladies to be compelled
to sit in a street car beside a per
son with the Odor of liquor on
his breath. A conductor should
be given the authority to order
any individual off his car who IS
under the influence of liquor or
has the smell of the same on his
breath.

lngton in his effort to save Liberia
His unselhsh devotion in the inter
est of these people, long before and
since the appointment of the Liberia
Commission, must be known in order
to be admired and appreciated. He
has done much at great personal sac
rihce and expense to stimulate pub
lie confidence in Liberia, and to
bring about a condition which now
appears favorable to the preservation
OF the independence off the little Re
public; and in view of this fact, I ask
you gentlemen to raise your glass,
and in this innocent beverage
water-drink with me to the health
Of DR.. Booker T. Washington, the

Negro for self-government in the
land of his origin, and that we pledge

tegrity and independence Of its terri
tory.

finally, when the sun had set, she
tried to go back to her home un-
der the water. but was surprised to
see that she could not move her
hands or feet.
Then she was still more sur
prised to see that she was turning
into a flower. She breathed and
lived just as before, but was a
fairy no more.
She grew there on the beach and
learned to love the sun dearly. She
watched him constantly each day
from the moment that he appeared
in the east until evening came and
he went to hide in the west.
She always has her face turned

ORIGINAL. MRS. VANDERBILT SETS
THE FASHIONS; HER LATEST GOWN

Vi Before they leave their order
with their modistes, New York SO
ciety women wait-wait for Mrs.
] William X. Vanderbilt, jr. She de-
signs everything she wears.
I She sets the fashion, so far as
Fifth avenue is concerned. When
ever she appears in a new gown,
the other women of the 400 rush
to get gowns like it.
You'll search New York and
fail to find other gowns like Mrs.
! vanderbilt's latest--if you hurry.
None can be found the first day,
but the second day-youIl find one
or so. Next day, therell be more,
and the next more. 1t takes time
to make gowns, you know; New
York modistes are like modistes
the world over, they are painfully
slow. H..
The photograph shows Mrs.
Vanderbilt in her latest spring
frock, and was taken shortly after
she first appeared on the. street in

This is close-fitting, long
sweeping princess of soft, heavy
black satin that follows closely the
lines of her figure. It is embroid-
cred in graceful design in white
silk over the bodice, and across
the front and up the sides of the
skirt. in overskirt effect.
t The frilly jabot, yoke and under
sleeves are made of fine white net
and trimmed with priceless valen-
ciennes.
Long white suede gloves, stitch
led in black, and a white milan hat
sharply turned up on the left side,
faced with the black satin of the
gown, and simply trimmed with a

charming picture in the fashionable

THE SUNFLOWER,

Once there was a beautiful fairy
who lived in magnificent palace
under the sea. She dressed in deli
. cate sea moss and wore jewelry of
fine coral and her hair hung in
long yellow curls. Her carriage
was lovely shell of many colors,
and two beautiful goldfish were
"her horses.
/ One day when she was out driv-
Ing she saw the sun god pass
Through the heavens in his fiery
chariot. She liked him very much,
sand wished he would see her, but
Fhe could not, for she was so far
away.
! She watched him many days,
and at last drove to the shore and
stepped out upon the sand. There

full truth that many cans would
offer a much more shameful tale.
The woman who does her own
work isn't always more careful
than the hired cook when it comes
to the handy process of dumping
out" the leftovers. And all of
them might once have been made
into attractive dishes.
The baked potatoes could have

behold the tails of two porterhouse
steaks, paid for at the rate of 25
cents per pound; and the end Of a

and part Of that leg of lamb which
cost $1.35.
That was sheer carelessness. we

we remembered the lamb, it was
too old to use.

RESOLUTIONS BY AMENDERS Ex- TEND THANKS TO FRIENDLY
 NEWsPAPERS-s MAIN FANS AMENDMENT NECESSARY

At the mass meeting held yesterday aft introduced by the chairman, Prof. John Massey, was unanimously adopted by a rising vote of those in attendance. The resolutions extended the thanks of the amendists to all newspapers that have exerted their influence for the adoption of the amendment.
 The meeting was presided over by Prof. John Massey of Tuskegee The after noon was taken up with the speech of Dr. W. N. Ainsworth, of the Wesleyan Female college at Macon, Ga. Dr. Aims worth spoke at length in favor of the amendment. saying among other things;
 Ut Is the obligation of law to corpor ate in its enactments the eternal princi- ples of righteousness. Our laws are in- tended as transcript of the principles of righteousness that involve the well fare of mankind. No legislature has the right to do what it pleases It Is the duty of any body of legislators to enact laws that will be for the greatest benefit of the people. This time. however, 1t will be the people themselves who shall decree that the whisky traffic shall no longer be fostered. The enactment of the amend ment will not be the source of the hy pocrisy and lawlessness that its oppo nents have predicted. Those who are hypocritical and lawless after the adop- ton of the amendment are those who were so before the enactment and are the essentially lawless.'

charged that 1t was put forward as a platform on which to elect S. D. Weakley governor for the perpetuation of the Conner administration, and to send Gov ernor Conner to the Senate.
 He charged that 1t was the keenest cut and deepest political trick ever attempted in the history of Alabama
 He charged that the disruption in Ala bama at the present time was greater than at any other period since the days of the carpetbagger and the reconstruction.
 He deplored the situation. He deplored the strife that exists today. He declared that if the amendment is adopted Ala bama will be put backward 50 years as a result of the continual political strife which must of necessity follow.
 Predicts Great Victory.
 q bring you good news of victory" he stated near the conclusion of his address.
 'eWhen the proposition was first launched publicly announced my oppo- sition. But thought that then 1t would sweep the state. But now I apologize that doubted the wisdom of the farmer.
 "It is from the rural districts that our majorities are going to come. I find the farmer aroused from one end of this state to the other. In the Seventh district there is but one close county, and in Etowah we have an advantage
 "We will sweep the old state clean. We will not put our homes at the mercy of any man or set of men. We will not long CT be the puppets or slaves of any polit- ical dynasty But we will be men-men in every sense of the word"
 The CuIIman Band.
 The Cullman brass band furnished the music for the occasion.
 The members of the band are against the amendment and hoped to render ser vice in It's behalf. And the members of the band are open in their admiration for Congressman Howard, and state their de- sire to send him back to Congress from which body he resigned some time ago, if he desired to return.
 The band is a good one. Its members are among the representative citizens of Cullman. and many of them are wealthy They played finely and often and were applauded to the echo. Their rendition of "Home Sweet Home" in the defense of which the defenders are aligned, fol- lowed by "Dixie, precipitated, as stated the greatest political demonstration seen in Birmingham in years and 1t might be that its parallel in Birminghan4 has never been known.

Ottoman Government May Spend
 $1o0, 100000.

Washington, November 1.-The Turkish ministry will urge upon the Ottoman parliament as soon as it reconvenes, No vember 15, the adoption of naval pro- eramme providing for the expenditure within the next several years of $10O,OO0,- coo. The programme includes the build- ing of seven battleships of the North Da- kota type.
 The decision of the ministry is said to be in keeping with the general attitude of the people. Contributions to a public fund for the construction of battleshipa are said to be pouring in by the thou sands.

cRAlG's STATEMENT.
Congressman's Card Regarded as One of Strong Documents of Campaign.

The statement issued in Selma Saturday by Congressman w. B. Craig was read in Birmingham with great interest and was regarded as one of the strongest presenta- tions of the case against the amendment that has yet been made.
 In the publication yesterday however, a wrong impression was created by the omission of the word "alcohol' in one paragraph As corrected the paragraph should read:
 My next objection to the first section is that it absolutely prohibits the saIe of whisky and all other malt or intoxicat- ing liquors except alcohol for medicinal purposes.

the laws of Alabama were more rigid than those of any other state. and ex- pressed himself as positive that addi- tional legislation could not better things nor perpetuate.

 of the amendment is not intended to force an entrance into the homes of the people, then there is no reason for It's be- ing. If 1t does intend to force an en- trance into the homes, then we certainly do not want it. Take 1t on either horn you will, it is dangerous.

 Now, suppose, for the sake of argu- ment. that the amendment Is adopted. Suppose, then the Carmichael and Fuller bills are repealed. Then the brewers might open saloon on every corner and not run the risk of punishment.
 And declare to you thsst the brewers could buy two-fifths of the legislature with which to keep the amendment in the constitution cheaper than they could the three-fifths with which to take it out again."
