x It seems hardly possible to place any credence in the statement persis- tentiy made of late that there is a plan on foot to stsmpede the country fo Roosevelt in 1912. While 1t is not at all difficult to understand that there are certain powerful interests, political and otherwise. in the North and East that would rejoice to see the country again under the burden of Rooseveitisrn it does not seem pos sible that the intelligent and right minded citizenship of the whole un- ion will again make him the ruler of the republic His reign was near enough to autoeracy during the time he held the office. and another cleo ton would be taken by him as evil

~ rNTEMPEleATE TEMPERANCE.

Somehow or other we find it diff cult to take much stock in the sim cerity of those advocates of temper ance who limit the expression wholly to the use of spirituOus liquors. It is a narrow view to take of one of the most expressive words in our lam guage. for It applies to all voluntary actions of human beings who are blessed with intelligence and reason ing powers.
 In spite of the broadness and wide applicability of the term we find cer- tain advocates of an absorbing issue now before the people of Alabama who talk and act as though there could be no intemperance in anything but indulgence in strong drink. All their arguments. diatribes and lec- lures are directed against the drink habit" as they are fond of terming It. and they seem unable to see intem- perance in anything else.
