In the Country.

CT feel reasonably sure of one thing said a well-known citizen of Birming- ham who belongs to the Travellers Pro- tective association, land that is that anti-amendment sentiment is strong in the rural districts of South Alabama. was rather surprised at that condition, but men who have taken more active part in politics than I have tell me that farmers as a rule are loath to tam per with the constitution.
 ''One farmer, however, explained it this way: I am a temperance man and count myself prohibitionist on mod crate lines. But I am opposed to the abridgement of personal liberty, and this amendment certainly seeks to do that. We farmers claim to be patriots, and nothing like constitutional prohibition ap- peais to men of my way of thinking and feeling The gentleman with whom talked was Confederate veteran. He is one of the most successful farmers in Alabama"

POPPYLAND.

PORTLAND. Poppyland's where life's misfortunes Fade away on wings of air, Golden lights are ever glancing, Pain and trouble come not there. Countless bells are softly ringing, Sweater far than faerys chime, And tired hearts are filled with gladnesl Never told in poets rhyme. Poppyland's where birds are lifting In an ecstasy of song, Butterflies and bees and blossoms, Mirth and melody a-throng; Radiant castles, jewel-studded, Purple plains and saffron seas, Perfumes blown from Persian gardens Waited on the passing breeze. Poppyland's where colors riot And the disembodied soul Roams a beauteous world of fancy, Mocking time and deaths dread toll Yet, must come the hour of waking, Bringing hell's torments to gripe That's why I'm not keen to slurnber With the clans who Init the pipe.'

TYRANNY IN ALABAMA.

i From the Houston Post
 We are not surprised that the forcible ! entering of homes in Alabama by officers | searching for liquor is causing so much denunciatfon- Such an incident as that re-
 ported from Birmingham is pretty well
 calculated to make citizens gorge rise H. T. Sinnot went home to find that his room had been broken into. A diamond pin valued at s25O was missing and letters addressed to his wife were strewn over the house, The officers admitted that no liquor was found
 Nothing short of rampant fanaticism can approve such methods as the Fuller law has Inflicted upon Alabama and if the outrageous abuses as are practiced do not
 result in reactianary measures we shall I be greatly surprised. Indeed, the marvel
 is that citizens have not already asserted their natural right to resent such an in vasion of their homes by force, and the probability is that instances of resentment
 would have been reported before now but for the fact that the officers of Alabama seem to have adopted the practice of en-
 terfng homes in the absence of the male
 protectors.
 These acts of TegaIized burglary, if per-
 sisted in, will produce frightful harvest
 of mischief in Alabama. Sooner or later
 the country will hear of tragedies. feuds
 and general contempt of law, because
 people cannot submit to form of tyranny
 like this A mans home is his castle, and
 no one has right to trespass there in
 the absence of a definite charge that he has violated the law
 The Alabama legislature had the right to prohibit the sale of liquor but to de- clare that the ownership of liquor is prima face evidence that the owner has it for sale and for that reason said owner ship is illegal is another proposition. And to follow such declaration with a law
 permitting officers to enter homes to search for liquor seems nothing short of a step in the direction of anarchy. Neither prohibition nor temperance can ever prosper under such tyranny. Ulti-
 mately the peopIie will rise up and sweep
 the statutes clear of such laws, and it need not be surprising if the present ex- treme leads finally to the other of an un- bridled liquor traffic.
 A search and seizure act is a danger ous device in whatever cause it is in- voked. Certainly there will be thefts, be- cause sherlffs will not always be able to have deputies who can be trusted in the presence of temptation. And there will be rough treatment of resentful women, and that is apt to mean shotguns. That such an outrageous enactment as the Fuller law could have been enacted in liberty loving southern state, a state that once experienced the terrors of reconstruc- ton, or that such a statute could have been approved by a man deemed by sovereign people wise enough to be their
 chief executive, will to our inadequate comprehension be one of those mysteries that must go unexplained until Gabriel plants one foot on the land and the other on the sea and sounds the bugle call for eternity.

For Louisiana Sufferers.

A letter from Bishop Allen will be read at all the masses In the Catholic churches today asking that a collection be taken up for the sufferers of the re- cent storm on the coast of Louisiana Sunday, October r next Sunday, is the day designated for the collection.
 Said a prominent Catholic: "As 1t Is remembered that when the great storm of three years ago struck the diocese Of Mobile and destroyed so many of our churches, the archdiocese of New Orleans was among the first to respond to our ap- peal for assistance It is hoped that Catholics will be generous in their dona- tions Sunday, the 17th."

ALL ANTI-AM BINDERS,

From the Gadsden Times-News.
 ''The old Guard would burst their cerements and stride forth to make the night more hideous,' if they knew how their blood-won appellation is being used," chortles the Guntersville Democrat. Hold on, brother; the Old Guard was wiped out at Waterloo in 1915 and we have it on good authority that they were all anti-amenders.

To Hold a Music Festival.

Birmingham will have grand music festival next spring, under the direction of Walter Damrosch," said J. E. Shelby, president of the Birmingham Festival as- sociation. ''I make this statement based on the consensus of the views held by members of our executive board and music lovers in general. Damrosch and his excellent New York Symphony orches- tra gave such eminent satisfaction in April last that it was practically settled then that Birmingham would have the great director again in 1910
 'I met MT. Damrosch in Chicago a few weeks ago and he told me the only dates he could give Birmingham would be earlier by about two weeks than his dates of this year. He is due in California in May next, and will celebrate in San Fran cisco the 25th anniversary of his career as musical director. In view of his big engagement in San Francisco he will travel with an augmented orchestra and will be heard here with 6O-odd men in- stead of 50 as when he was here last spring.
 Just so soon as the fair is over I will call a meeting of the festival board and take up the matter of details-the amount of guarantee needed for the festival and how to raise it; programmes, local chor- uses and the like. As large as the crowds were at this years festival, much larger crowds can reasonably be counted on for next spring. The last festival was got up in a hurry. There was little time for advertising it throughout the state. It will be different with the forthcoming festival. It will be well advertised and thoroughly worked m

IN HOTEL HOBBIES
Reminiscent of Early Days.

T read the story of the demolition of the old Cahalan home, landmark of Birmingham. in this mornings Age-Her- aid, with interest and recall a few of the notable people who were entertained there in the early days said Mayor Frank P. O'Brien yesterday.
 "One of the most notable men, perhaps, that accepted the hospitality of the Cahalans in those early days was Father Ryan, the poet of the Confederacy. Oth- CTS that can be remembered are Charles Stuart Parnell, who afterward became a prominent Irish leader; Senator John T. Morgan, Father Hamilton, chaplain of the northern prison at Andersonville Bishop Neucy. Bishop Pelsier and Father McDonough.
 Father MeDonough made the Cahalan home his headquarters during the cholera epidemic while he helped to minister to the sick and dying"

political bee is buzzing in the

NY atmosphere
 And every man who wants something seems to be getting in this amendment and anti-amendment cam paign.
 Men of good judgment generally seem to have lost their heads and have gone wild upon the political subject. Some of them have quit business and quit the work of development. which they are generally interested in, to get before the footlights of political audiences and make themselves conspicuous before the crowds which usually congregate to view sensa- tional performances.
 But what is there in all of this? It strikes me that the chief design of the leaders in favor of the constitutional amendment is the requirement of offices for themselves. I don't see anything else to be gained by putting an additional spike in the rail which has already been laid to carry the train which has made prohibition in Alabama.
 We have it in the most approved form and the laws are being enforced as far as any laws can be enforced.
