Change of Sentiment

T expected Missouri to vote down the constitutional statewide prohibi- tion proposition, but the overwh elming majority against that proposed amend ment surprised me- said B. H. Ca ruthers of Chicago.
 When I was last in Missouri, about three months ago, the business men Of St. Louis and Kansas City with whom talked were uneasy. The people of St. Louis seemed really alarmed, for if prohibition were forced on so large a city the effect would have been noth- ing short Of disastrous from a com mercial point of view. It would have been hurtful morally, too, because the law would not have been well enforced and all must admit that a community of lawbreakers is bad on morals.
 T was in Missouri something like a year ago and at that time I visited a large number of small towns. I met many prohibitionists of the ultra type who were then agitating for state wide prohibition, and l believe that if the election had been held while the hys- teria was at its height the state would have voted dry But 1t Is evident that thousands of the rural voters who had called themselves prohibitionists did some serious thinking and when the time came voted against the state wide proposition.
 T think that temperance sentiment is gaining and that 1t will continue to grow; but the drastic statewide pro- hiDlti0n ic ct ground. The majority of sane people in dry states are insisting on a re- turn to local option. Under that sys- tenn far better results for temperance can be obtained.
 Alabama's defeat of constitutional prohibition year ago had far-reach- ing effect. This states action had a very direct influence on Missouri and Florida"

Judge Coleman in City

Judge T. W. Coleman of Eutaw, one of the most widely known retired judges in Alabama, was here yesterday.
 He is former justice of the supreme court and has been a leading figure in Alabama political affairs for many years. He said yesterday that the democratic victories throughout the country were to him the signal for a democratic Presi- dent in 1912.
 Judge Coleman. in speaking of home af- fairs, said the people of his neighborhood were very prosperous this year, and were engaged in gathering a fine harvest. He said while the cotton crop was not bumper one. it was very good indeed, and carried with it great encouragement for the future Judge Coleman said other agricultural products were fine, and the people were feeling good over the condi- tions wllch now exist.

ly misrepresented in much of the fiction that paints the feudist as a man of sundry virtues, as jealous in honor as he is sudden in quarrels. John Fox has not wholly overlooked the possibilities for humorous writing that lie in the exchange of rife repartee between moun- taineers, but the mine has been too .lit- tie worked and will yield a great deal of pay dirt for the right pick.
 Bret Harte might have found in the Appalachian mountains as much work gied humor and pathos as he found in California, but his work would have lacked sincerity here as it did there. and would have held the mountain murderer up to view ennobled. rather than fairly sketched. The late Charles Hoyt might have written good farces about moun- tain feuds, and the field he overlooked is open to his successors.
 Depicting the feudist, not as hero, but as benighted oaf, lacking in intel ligence, without a sense of humor or pro- portion involved with deadly earnestness ir an endless chain of useless crime, grimly humorous because the gravity of results is grotesquely disproportionate to the magnitude of causes, should be re- munerative to writers of comedy. It would certainly be of service in giving the public a glimpse of feuds as they are. The picture would be radically diff ferent from that of feuds and feudists as they aren't. And that is the picture most frequently marketed. el

WHY WOODROW WILSON SHAVED

From the NeW I Ofk Ir1Dune.
 As is well known. woodrow Wilson has a clean shaven face. But 1t was not always thus. Once. when pr. Wilson was a young lawyer. pleading a cause in a North Carolina court. he perceived that his most attentive listener was the sheriff of the county, who sat with his feet on the stove and with his eyes on the attorney. The young advocate was greatly encouraged by the interest man. ifested by so distinguished an officer, and was encouraged to increase his efforts still further to .enchain the attention of that audience. When he had finished his address with rounded period Of glowing eloquenee. he stepped toward the sheriff to receive his encomiums. It was a dreadful shock to him. when that offi- cal drawled out Say. Wilson. do you know that one of your, side whiskers Is shorter than the other?" The future pres ident of Princeton was so .nisgusted that he shaved off his beard.
