HEARI HEARl
Editor of Shelby County Sentinel
Hands Hot Roast to Fuller.

From the Shelby County Sentinel.
Although Legislator Fuller was born a
few centuries too late he may add some
chapters to the gaiety of nations despite
this deplorable fact. To judge from his
little bill to bottle up the festive bottle,
he is a song without words; a dream of
narrowness and intolerance which would
have delighted the satanic soul of Tor
quemada; a theological projection of John
Knox into the twentieth century, or a re-
incarnation of the chief witch-burner of
New England
The propositions of his bill would make
the Emperor of Russia blush with shame,
and cause the bones of Ignatius Loyola
to rattle in their grace, If there is any
rattle left in them.
If enacted into law, and any administra-
ton Of these days should seek to enforce
such law 1t would precipitate a revolution
inside of 30 days, and array the forces of
progress in deadly strife against the
minions of reaction and retrogression.
Legislator Fuller must have sought his
inspiration from the oppressors of Poland,
the tyrants of India, Weyler in Cuba, the
English In South Africa or the republican
party in the Philippines.
He has proposed measures which are
utterly antagonistic to the constitution of
this state, and to that of the nation;
measures which, if he is serious, mark
him as a narrow and bigoted fanatic who
is unfit to have a seat in any delberative
body of a free people.
The Sentinel prefers to believe that the
bill proposed by Mr. Fuller is simply
satire on the freakish work of the pres
ent Brooks Lawrence legislature. Viewed
in this light, Mr.. Fuller's little bill is
masterpiece of biting satire.
But IL he is really In earnest he should
be exhibited at the State Fair as a relic
of the dark ages, and embalmed in song
and story as the "Man-Who- Once Ruled
Over-th -Spanish-1nquisition and Came
Back to- Earth to- Undo he Work of 1000
of-Struggle-Towa Liberty" I'm
der such a title he would draw a crowd
and the mad lovers of intolerance and
cant might bow down and worship him, a
worthy object for their attention and de-
yotion

Opposition 10 Constitutional Prohibition

AT the Montgomery conference on
September Is says the Mobile Item.
there will be men representing all
the leading callings in the state-rail-
road men, attorneys, merchants. farm
ers and men in private life, some of
whom, while opposed to liquor traffic
as conducted in the past can see no
good in the recent drastic legislation.
but on the contrary, a tendency to
evasion of laws without the state be-
ing in any manner benefited"
The Mobile Register is equally en-
phatic when 1t says "Alabamians are
expected to meet this issue with good
sense and judgment. The constitu-
tional prohibition amendment is an
entirely unnecessary proposal. If pro-
hibition proves effective there will be
none to seek to do away with it. If
prohibition proves a failure, it ought
to be done away with; and the Iegis-
lature should remain as now the Judge
Of what legislation will read best on
the statute books of the state
These opinions against the putting
OF prohibition in the state constitution
will be widely indorsed in all parts OF
the state, and wherever this reasona-
BILE sentiment springs I'D support
should be given to the conference of
September 10. A good attendance of
the most thoughtful men in the state
Is needed to the end that a programme
be presented that will command the
support OF good citizens in all walks
OF life. The indications are excellent
that constitutional prohibition will be
sweepingly defeated Many lifelong
anti-liquor men will vote against If
simply because they want the subject
kept where it can be treated from time
to time in accordance with the expert.

BenzOate Of Soda Again

The Association of National Food
and Dairy Departments, sitting at Dem
yer, has Endorsed the use of benzoate
of soda in articles of food by vote
of 81 yeas and AZ nays. The Remsen
experts were present, and they stated
that when benzoate is administered Gin
small quantities" in food products it
is harmless.
There's the rub. When a dishonest
Gamer or other dishonest manufac.
turer is permitted by the grace of
Secretary Wilson to put benzoate in
food products, who knows how much
he will put in? "In the light of our
experiments, said one Of the Rem
senites, sit is difficult to say why ben
zoate in moderate amounts should be
considered any more inimical to
health than such a salt as sodium
chloride"
This would be sound enough, per.
haps, If any guarantee were possible
that moderate amounts only would

The Labor Problem.

ct suppose all hurtful and depressing
things will be laid at the door of prohi-
bition," said man who once opposed the
saloon business. "but I begin to think
that prohibition is to some extent at
least responsible for the stampede of
negro labor from the cotton farms to
Birmingham
1T is a fact that the negroes are leav-
ing the black belt have a large in
terest In Lodwnes county and unless we
can find some way to keep negro labor
on the farm we will have to give up
raising cotton. We are paying as good
wages for farm work as we can afford to
pay, but now that the Birmingham dis
trlct is crying labor scarcity the farm
negro can not be blamed for going
where he is offered fancy pay
"And [ find that the problem here in
the Birmingham district has grown all
the more acute since the Fuller bill was
adopted Not only are white workmen
threatening to leave but some are actual
ly leaving for the north where they can
have a reasonable amount of liberty and
can spend their nickel or 10 cents
day for beer without violating any law.
I am opposed to too free indulgence in
social drinking. but we must consider
facts. For every white man that leaves
here from two to three negroes will leave
the black belt and come to Birming-
ham, where he In turn can imbibe some
sort of liquor that he calls whisky"

FLYING MarVelS In Rheims

Whether the biplane or the mono
plane shall be accorded the highest
honors on Bethany field in Rheims is
not SO important as is the demon
strated fact that experienced aviators
no longer wait upon fair weather.
Paulhan flew on Wednesday in a
wind blowing twenty-odd miles an
hour and with strong eddies, and a
portion of Latham's fight of SO miles
on Thursday was made in high wind
and storm of rain.
Heretofore aviators have selected
fair days and calm weather, but at
Rheims it was demonstrated that
flights in heavier-than-air machines
are feasible in any kind of weather.
In other words, it has been demon
strated at Rheims that the conquest
of the air has been achieved, and that
years of improvements will follow un-
til We have at last aeroplanes adapted
to commercial uses The battle is
won, and the aeroplane is now in the
place of the locomotive 10 years ago
it needs many Improvements, and
these 1t will surely gain from some Of
the men who have become interested
in the art of flying.
Tomorrow the distance and speed
tests will be concluded at Rheims, and
the sum total of the work done there
will be found to have given a great
impetus to the now practicable act of
aerial navigation. The heavier-than-
air machine has won a great and en-
during victory, and the Wright broth
ers are by no means outdone by their
French rivals. 1t is toe, early as yet
to sum up the work at Rheims
