RETURNING SANITY"

Under the heading "Alabama's Re.
turning Sanity" the Glohe-Democrat
of st. Louis comments editorially as
follows on the change of sentiment in
! the southern state with reference to
Prohibition and other like legislation ::
"Alahamas primary has done more
than give a setback to statewide pro
hibition. 1t has called halt on the
anticorporation folly which has ragged
there. as well as In some OF the other
Southern states and in few of those
Iof the West in recent years. The man
who has carried the state for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
Emmett 0'Neal. is a local option adj
vocate. He has overwhelmingly beat
EN- Mallory, the statewide liquor ex-
.clusionist O'Neal stands also for fair
treatment for the railways and the
other corporations.
Nine states have statewide prohi-
bition. Three of these-Maine, Kansas
and North Dakota-are Northern
states. The others-North Carolina
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi Ten.
nessee and Oklahoma--are Southern
states. Alabama is one of the states
which became dry ON January J..
1909. After an experience of a little
over a year that state has turned
against the exclusionists, and intends
to let the counties and the big towns
deal with the liquor issue independ-
emily. In the coming election public
sentiment Is expected to express itself
concretely on this question, with the
result that the old sane method Of
home rule for the various communities
in the state will be adopted anew
1t is believed that Mississippi and
North Carolina. both of which also
began the statewide experiment at
the beginning of 1909. will return to
local option at an early day. In Ten
nessee, which shut out the liquor traf-
fic, in theory, on July /, 1909, the ex-
pertinent is likewise a failure.
"The most important result of the
Alabama primary, however, is the de-
feat of the general scheme of fanati.
,cism and prescription for which Gov.
Conner has stood. At the head of the
demagogues of his state, Conner has
hampered the big corporations there,
has inflicted millions of dollars of
damage on the people of the state,
land has given aid and comfort to the
,agltators and fanatics who have had a
free hand in running the affairs Of
several of the Southern common
wealths in recent times. The issue
lof liberalism and sanity has gone 50
| far In Alabama that ii enters into the
primaries for the selection of all sorts
OF officials, from members of the leg
islature and governor up to members
of the senate and the house Of repre-
sentatives. Apparently, the liberals
lare making clean sweep of the
state. The setback for prohibition In
Alabama. which has tried that pol
icy, ought to have a good deal of in
fiuence in Missouri, which has moi
tried 1t, but in which there is move
ment in its favor"
