By what process of fair reasoning can Governor Conner say that he will pardon a country woman and not par don town woman under the same conditions, and, too, should a Governor of a great State like Alabama ap- prove law which he did not expect to apply equally to all people alike? Would 1t not have heen better, exer- cising his constitutional prerogative to have amended this bill so as to strike this objectionable feature from if and thereby save the necessity of using executive clemency? He cannot well say that the next Governor will take the same view of this law that he does. and a succeeding Governor might not be willing to use the par doning power except in such cases as the Constitution authorizes him to interfere. Other Governors may ob- serve the Constitution.

And So It Goes.

Selma Times.
 Rev. w M. Anderson. pastor of the First Baptist Church at Dothan. Sun. day rendered his resignation because of the serious split of his congregation over the amendment. It will be re- called by readers of this paper that only a few weeks ago, two deacons who were also superintendent and as sistant superintendent of the Baptist Sunday school there. resigned their positions owing to their views on the amendment.
 It Is stated that pr. Anderson had the nerve" to attend an anti-amend- ment mass meeting in Dothan Satur- day, going out to hear Colonel Tom Espy speak. Not that he Is opposed to the amendment. perhaps, but sim ply was broad enough to listen to both sides of the question. and wanted to be present on this occasion. He was criticised by some of the over-zealous of his congregation for his actions and was requested that If he would attend the meeting, to reply to the speaker in his pu' pit Sunday. Having his own opinions as to the mixing of church with politics. the pastor naturally de- clined to do so, but his resignation was forthcoming.

AMENDMENTS NE YER
 STOPPED AGITA TON
A Contributor Draws Attention To a FallaciOus Claim Which Is
 Now Common.

A ContrlbutOr Draws AttemthOm To e
 FallaciOus Claim Which Is New Common. Editor The Advertiser:
 So far as I have been able to dis cern, the argument of the Pro Amend ment Party upon which they most rely and indeed. which meets most widespread attention, is that the adOp- ton of the amendment to the Consti- tuition as proposed would put stop to agitation.
 It will readily be recalled that after the civil war had resulted Tn the free dom of the slaves the extremists of the Anti Slavery Party insisted on af- fixing two amendments to the Con stitution of the United States. These amendments were designed to stop agitation and to secure the social and political rights which had been grant cd to the negro by his emancipation.. Alabama it may well be. Inquired if these amendments settled anything. Did they secure political and social rights to the negro? If not, why not |? Did agitation of the Negro Prob lem cease? If not. why not?
 At what cost did the white men of the South maintain their freedom from hlack domination, and preserve the In. tegrity of their institution?
 The history of the proposed amend ment to the Constitution of Alabama would be the history of the XIV and XIV amendments to the constitution of the United States.

The Difference. Pine Apple, Ala. Oct. T, 1909.

 Editor The Advertiser:
 Recently Solicitor Thompson of Gen. treviIle, both in the press and on the platform. advocated the Fuller-Weak- ley statute of search and seizure as being Identical with the old search and seizure law of Alabama in vogue for seventy-sevsn years. For the in- formation of himself and others ] wish to point out the difference; un: to appear before a lawful officer and make complaint in person and If good reasons were shown 1t became the du' ty of the officer to issue search war rant, the complainant personally swearing to the warrant and attach ing his name thereto.
 Under the Fuller blI the complain ant does not personally have to swear out a warrant but makes complaint to the sheriff whose duty it then becomes to swear out warrant and search the difference in alcoholic liquors and other goods. 4 search for other goods

 The Age Herald has faith enough in the voters to think that large majority of them will vote against the ton should win. As intolerable as the Fuller law is, the ultra legislatio that would logically follow would make Alabama commonwealth or spies. No home would be immune from the searching process.-Birming- ham Age-Herald.
 The logic Is correct and the editor of The ge-Herald has reason to know whereof he writes. as recent actions of officers in that city will testify.

HOW THE PARTIES STAND.

Socialists And National Prohibitionasts Are Only Logical Supporters Of
 The Amendment. Editor The Advertiser:
 The Democratic Party in its national and State platform. endorsed local op- tion--that is it's principle.
 Is not the Republican platform on this issue the same?
 The Socialist Party does not endorse local option. The Prohibition Party does not endorse local option. If I am right, a true Democrat and a true Republican, will vote against the con- stitutional amendment. And true Socialist and a true Prohibitionist will vote for the constitutional amend ment.
 This is a question of political con- viction and not of a religious opinion. If am not correct please sight me.

Tn the following paragraph The Headiand Post suggests something that has been puzzling us not a lit- tie:
 They say all the whiskey men are opposed to the amendment, and if that sIs true. then we admit that some peo- ole on the other side have undergone a terrible change since this question was sprung.
 In the first place. If all who oppose the amendment are "whiskey men," then 1t Is becoming plain that a large majority of the people of the State belong to that class. On the other hand. If all real "whiskey men, would come out against the measure it's advocates would hardly have enough left to hold a beat meeting. Rather tangled, is it not?
