admit that prohibition in Alabama
stands or falls with the amendment.
In the effort to abolish the liquor
traffic Alabama has gone to legisla-
tive extremes seldom or never before
witnessed in the war on the saloon.
and it is upon this fact that the anti
prohibitionists base their hope of a
reaction. If this reaction develops, its
effect will undoubtedly be felt in
other states where the temperance
movement has been making progress,
and its influence, it is believed, will
be to check the movement. If, on the
other hand, Alabama indorses its pro
hibition laws by writing prohibition in
the constitution, then it will give new
courage to the temperance forces
throughout the country and other
states will no doubt bring forward
laws as far reaching as those now on
the statute books of Alabama The
in other words, is going to
prove a big boost to one of the sides
in the temperance controversy, and
the fight was made with a thorough
on both sides as to its
bearing upon the future of the tenn
perance movement in the country at
arge.

AERIAL RACE TRACK.
VIII Be Established for Tests on Long
Island

New York, Feb. 27-Under the
control of the Aero Club of America,
a race course for flying machines
where flights may be accurately
measured, is to be opened on the Long
Island motor parkway between Hemp
stead and Farmingdale, L. I. Nego-
tiations for the use of part of the
parkway have been completed and it
is expected that the grounds will be
ready by May 1. The course will be
at the disposal of any inventor who
has a machine with any promise of
flying.
The club hopes by the acquisition
of the test grounds to stimulate inter
est in aeronautics and to bring forth
inventors who have heretofore been
handicapped by the lack of suitable
facilities for trying out their aerial
steeds. Plans call for the creation of
grounds surprising anything of the
kind in France or Germany.

FARM JOBS A MYTH.

Can't Locate Them.

New York, Feb. 27.-Farm jobs in

agricultural labor is a myth and a de-
fusion and a share according to John
c. Earl, financial secretary of the
Bowery Mission. He declares that
while he receives countless newspaper
clippings and other communications
purporting to show that farmers are
badly in need of help and ready to
employ the idle men of the city, the
mission is unable to locate the ad-
dresses or get any definite information
Discussing this interesting bit of
news bearing on the labor problem
and the unemployed Mr.. Earl said:
This is a trouble we are constantly
having. Western newspapers print
stories that help is badly needed in
certain sections of the country. We
offer to furnish honest, industrious, So

kind of work since they have been out
of work for months, and then we find

TO LAUGH OR NOT TO LAUGH

The risible nerve has now entered the class of personal property, upon which one may not trespass without falling foul of the law few days ago in Chicago Western Union messen ger was arrested for tickling companion and causing him to laugh. The tickling occurred at the board of trade. The ticker was charged with dsorderly conduct because the ticklee laughed loudly and got the traders mixed in their margins.
 The question involved is too fundamental to be laughed out of court Besides, if any one tries it, he can be adjudged in contempt for let ting his mirth get away with him. And the de- fendant-the messenger boy-could be rear rested on a second charge of massagng the sense of the funny If this thing goes on, where will it stop!
 Evidently, we shall have to strike from our motto book the old line Laugh and the world laughs with you," because that sentiment is just what the law wants to put to sleep. We shall have to substitute, Laugh up your cuff and you may get away with it." The expression, |"Tickled to death" becomes pure suicide, since it will impcate you or somebody else in an of fense for which capital punishment would be lenient. Keep smiling" which we have tack ed to the wall in front of our desks, will have to be relegated to the waste basket for having seditious twang. Misguided nurse girls who tickle their charges to keep them in good humor will be more than ever at the mercy of the park policeman, because they will be guilty of arous ing infantle ''goo- -goos" of gigghng which will then and there disturb and harass said police man, as well as sundry and divers other babies. And Biliken--poor old Billiken-wii be in hot water all the time. The justification of his ex istence is declared crime and he will be in the police courts what Cupid is to the altar-the principal casus belh.

What though war clouds gather every seventh day for one week stands, What though Mr. Mcharg says we never think anything about anything any time at all, at all! We might have managed to grin and bear them all. But sec A grin leads to laugh, and laugh leads to the police court. Apparently the only thing left for us to do is to follow the practice of the ancient Grecian ora tor and carry pebble around in our mouths to keep straight face.
