A TRIUMPH rOK TEMPERANCE.

The Democratic primary election in
Alabama on Monday resulted in u de-
cisive victory for temperance: the can
didate of the prohibitionists was over
whelmingly defeated. Emmett o'Neal.
local optionst. beat H. S. ID. Mallory,
Statewide Prohtbitionist by ma
iority of 1900. At the last Democratic
primary election in Alabama Conner
defeated his opponent by 2lAll ma
jority. That was three years ago. In
the meantime, through the active work
of Conner the Alabama Legislature en-
acted the most drastic prohibition laws
ever passed in any state. AT least
ten prohibition bills were passed. and
1t was claimed that Alabama had been
pluclked as brand from the burning,
so to say.
1t was found, however, that the
laws could not be enforced, or at least
that they were not enforced, speaking
in a general way and now, after about
a year of the highest prohibition"
that could be invented, the candidate
of the state wide Prohibit!onists has
been defeated by 1900 majority. This
does not mean. of course. that there
Will he free liquor in Alabama but
that there will be wise and sensible
regulation of the traffic and that the
several communities in the State viii
determine for themselves and upon
tlle,. own responsibility the question
whether or not Intoxicating II
quors shall be sold in them, and under
what conditions. That. it seems to us,
is sane settlement of the question.
Manifestly, n law which might be
good and practical in Selma might
at the same time be altogether bad
for Mobile and impossible OF enforce
ment there. The crazy idea of uni
versal prohibition Is passing, and men
are beginning to take a human view
of the question of temperance. and this
is Why We. regard the result of the
election in Alabama as the most sub
stantial victory that has yet been
achieved for temperance.
