Prohibition for Alabama

MONTGOMERY, ALA, August 81. The
Fuller prohibition bill passed the Senate
Friday, % to 6.
The measure forbids the possession of
liquor except in houses, making the &C.
cused party prove his innocence before
any evidence against him is introduced.
The bill makes the use of the word saloon
crime, bars the advertisement of liquors
from billboards and signs and holds that
even the possession Of federal liquor
license is an absolute proof of guilt in
selling intoxicants. There was not vote
against the elimination Of that section
which sought to prohibit the newspapers
and magazines from advertising liquors.

the first monarch TO adopt that method
OF making war ON an enemy. It grew

navies and had ito draw on the mer-
chant marine for the bulk Of their
strength at sea. With England show.

How We Have Grown.

Some late figures given out by the
of interest as showing the growth of
the United States in many ways and
an indication of future possibilities.
OF our entire population one-third live
in the original Is states and fully one
quarter in six of these states. One
third live in the territory originally
part of the United States but unset
tied at the tine of the formation of
the government. This leaves the other
third distributed over the vast area
comprised of Florida, the Louisiana
purchase, Texas, the strip secured as
a result of the Mexican war. Oregon
and Washington and the small Gads IN
purchase.
A glance at the great extent of the
acquired territory, together with a
knowledge of its immense resources
which now contains but one-third ci
the population of 100000 will give
some idea of our possibilities for fu
ture development Those possessed O.
even limited information know that
the great west contains the resourc IS
to sustain millions more of people and
that those have hardly been scratched
A survey of the development within
the 40 years since the first transcor
tinental railroad was completed be
wilders even the optimist in his desire
to fathom the future With the de
velopment of the latest possibilities 81
the west must also come additions &c
the population and industry of tn;
states of the east which have by nC
means reached the maximum of theil
power of expansion
1t is not alone in population that the
growth of the country has been phi ,
nomenal. Postal receipts, which are
a fair reflection of the business of {
nation, have increased from 81 ,0OO, O0C
in 1920 to $191, 5000 in 1909.
1t is wonderful story of the cary
ing of a great nation out Of wilde
ness and still those who have gone
before and those of today have lief
plenty for their successors.
