REogEMINe PEOPLES SENATE

Take courage.
 The people are gaining on the United States senate.
 That obstruction to the popular will is steadily being broken down.
 Its majority is still representative ot the dollar-the big dollar of the big corporate interests. Its dOmina- ton is still in the hands of Aldrich. Hale, Elkins, Gallnger-Rocketeller. Hartman. Morgan-the railroads, the tarltt.fostered interests. the banks specially favored few.
 But the minority members of the senate-the few who represent the many Cyour interests and mine, gentie reader) the minority is growing.
 Primary election of senators is dO- ing wonders.
 There are now as many as 24 sena' tors who can be called progress Siyes."

on the peoples side,
 That is really hopeful, That mum, Der is enough, if well organized and handled, to make good fighting mi. norlty.
 But more important is the rapidity with which "reactionaries" are being retired because they are such. Think over the changes. Mere mention of their names tells the story. Burton from Ohio tn place of Foraker Is there not q chapter in that change?
 Bristow from Kansas in place Of Long; Chamberlain from oregon la place of Fulton; Jones from this state in place of Ankeny; Cummins from Iowa in place of Allison; John son CM.

 In nearly all these cases che Tee tiremcut O. the senator has been due to the adoption Of the primary -e!th,r the so.calied voluntary primary, su,u as prevails in most southern states. or the primary set Up by the stat. enactment in Washington. In one rom or other the primary is now in force in 27 states.
 And the idea spreads.
 In the little senate band which is fighting on the peoples side are some good. courageous m"n. Such are La Toilette, Borah, Beycrtdgc Bris. tow. Cummins. Bourne. They are not green recruits. They have their scars. anI have proved their worth. And behind their cause is the ever. lasting strength of right.

FANATIcrsM OUT OF DATE.

It is reported of the celebration of the Lincoln centenary at Chicago that President Schneider, of the Board of Trade of that city, opposing the play ing Of Dixie" during the public exer, cises of the day, and that the superin teudent of the city schools also for bade tue singing Of the same national air by the school children. Each of these gentlemen, as We may presume, held that the occasion made the stir, ring strains Of this southern wartime sacrnegious ofteuse against the pa, lriotism ot the day.
 Lamentable, indeed, that men in authority should be so narrow that they should have had any part in the celebration Of day in commemora. ton of one who, in his lifetime, was 50 broad and generous. It was men Of this stamp that. during President L.ucoln's lifetime, made the discharge his onerous duties the more com, plex. aud that added to the burden he was called upon to bear. It was the manifestation Of such a spirit that deuo,ed hatred and narrow nal igui,y. neither Of which had any place in Abraham Lincon's character. IL IS both curious and instructive to con trast this peeyish assumption Of pa triousm With the charitably surchars' ed. genuine article which President Lincoln never failed to manifest. There are two examples of this latter class made siugularly apropos by the action of these Chicago fanatics.
 As it is told. when the news of the fall Of Richmond was brought to Washington there was the rush of an impromptu procession. headed by a band, to the whitehouse. After the President had responded to demand for a speech be reminded his auditors Of the pleasure be experienced before the war from hearing "a song or tune called Dixie With the sugges- ton of charitable humor, he intimated that the right to play that tune was among the spells of victory. 50 ] shall be glad" said he, ito hear Dixie from the band" Here was broad-guage patriotism which is evt' deutly beyond the comprehension of The gentlemen at ChIcago-as much beyond as Lincoln's sad utterance when he looked at Antietam upon the two long graves in which Federal and Confederate soldiers were buried: Brave men all-and both sides Am. erican. ."-?ortland Telegram.

 The fight for and against the prohi. bition amendment to the constitution al amendment to the constitution is undoubtedly going to be a warm one. Those who are leading the fight for the amendment are depending upon the rural communities for strength to car ry 1t through, but it Is not certain that such will be the case. There Is no more conservative individual than the rural American voter and he Is not quick to authorize radical changes without strong reasons. In this case he will think long time before sol- regulation. It Is saddling coming gem erations with restriction of which they may not approve at all. The only excuse urged for 1t by its friends real reason is that It gives lot of politicians a band wagon in which to ride into office. No other State in the Union has such drastic liquor laws as amendment will not strengthen them one iota. Give the laws a chance to show what they can do-the Fullerlick- CT law and all the rest of them. If Alabama cannot have prohibition un- der her present regulations, all the constitutional amendments in the world cannot help her. If the near-states- men who frolicked through the recent
 
 clause in the Constitution was the panacea for all ills. why did they not
 include some real crimes in their pro- posed amendment and al one sweeping

Who is to be believed. the brave Confed- crate soldier, who did so much to give the Alabama Confederate this match less reputation for bravery and who was as fearless and courageous in pulp lie life as he was on the field. or the ambitious politician who has found prohibition a convenient band wagon?

MAI HAVE BAD RESULTS.

shakespeare said something to the effect that when a'gentleman want" 10 swear it is not for the -fby-standers to interfere between hthi and his oath. In thus expressing himself the great English bard. according to contem- porary commenting on the suo1ec'' -swas simply anticipating the time when science would come to the aid or the prnfane man. A prominent London doctor has discovered that swearing Ia helpful to health. and declares that when a man is moved to anger he pro- ducss a surplus of physical energy xvbich subjects the brain to severe strain: to rant and rave and smash things or to swear being natures sate- ty valve. When greatly irritated' birds ana animals similarly express emotion bv chatter or growing. According to this theory, self-contained individuals who can count fifty before they say had word when provoked. are storing up poisons which will later do them injury. Thus does science excuse the breaking of another commandment What is the decalogue between doc tors?"
 That English doctors theory will prove a great comfort to some fellow citizens. who. when they get mad must 'cuss or bust" as they express if. With some men swearing seems to be purely mechanical The paths slip out in ordinary conversation ar' parently without intention. and often. we are persuaded. without the swear er's knowledge. Then there are others who never so much as think Of utter ing A profane word or expression un- less they lose their temper: then they can roll out good round oaths as free ly and unctuouslv as any lover of pro fanity might wish.
 May it not be fact that through all the xensrations Of human existence the men who must "cuss or bust" have been merely carrying out in practice what this London doctor announces as Il newly discovered theory? In other words. this doctor Is only expressing as a scientific fact what nature has been forcing and impelling men 10 du from the beginning. Hut If this ex- pIanation should be generally adopted will 1t not be rather disturbing in its effects on the morals of the msn? If the man who has a disposition at times to use profape language Is taught to believe that swearing when one is angry Is the proper and healthful thing for him there Is danger that what Is now only an occasional out burst may come to be looked on as the proper thing to do if mon would prolong life and preserve health. In short, 1t is to be feared that the Ion don scientist has suggested an excuse for doing what all good people hold tO be wrong and sinful

GEN. OATES ON THE AMENDMENT.

For fifty years General William c. Oates has been an active participant in the public affairs of Alabama. He is familiar with politics and the influences which stir and guide Alabama politics. It has pleased the people of Alabama to vote him place of honor and trust many times. In every place he has measured up to the full stature of man. strong. fearless and honorable. His interest In politics now Is only that of every good citizen of the State --the interest In the welfare of Ala bamR
 He says the proposed constitutional amendment originated in politics and is being showed forward by political ambitions. He says that if the amend ment is put In the Constitution it will not stop agitation; 1t will produce more agitation. And as a thoughtful leader, he says that 1t will endanger the per- mamency of the Constitution. If it is engrafted in the Constitution. he says ii will divide the people of Alabama and be an amending source of strife and diseord.

The Post is not only right. but it is in good company and will have plenty of it as time passes.

 Wili the present administration go over, horse. foot and dragoon. Into the prohibition Party at the next national canvass, or will its leaders say that in State economy they believe in stump tuary Legislation, which restricts per- sonal liberty, but in national matters they believe this principle is antagon- istic to republican institutions and sub versive of State rights? If the lead CTS of the present administration are honest in opposing the use of distilled or malt liquors. and are anxious to ap- ply an interdtct to a State, they should use every effort to have incorporated M prohibition plank in the national Democratic platform; and failing to do this, win they align themselves with the party that does do so? If not, why not If prohibition is essential to q States moral and physical growth, 1t should be so for Federal upbuilding. Does the solicitude of Alabama prohi- bitionists for the moral upllft of their fellow men stop at State lines? If the Alabama pronibitionists do not. In inc next national canvass, af1iliate with the National Prohibition Party they will forever brand themselves as Ar- rant hypocrites, who advocate cer- tain economic principle for the sole nurpose of getting control or the poltt- teal machine of their State.

The Church In Politics.

Mobile Register.
 [ Human nature Is poor, weak. fal- lible thing Here we see the men who have been denouncing certain prac- tices as public evil, adopting the same practices when found needful to the success of their plans. There is not a Democrat who has not at some time or other decried the idea of the church being active In politics; there is not one but was able to cite some period of history where the intrusion of the church into the sphere of the State produced great disorder and trouble. Yet, because 1t suits present purpose, all wisdom gathered from the experi- ence of others Is thrown aside and the great spiritual machine Is used as a whip to frighten an unwilling people into action; Speaker Carmichael open in the cause of prohibition, and that 1t ought to do so,n We S;.,6y say that bet ernment than the introduction of a re- Iigious test into. our politics. Better. also, that almost any misfortune fall on the church than this one of mixing 1t in politics. -
