IN HOTEL HOBBIES
Local Option Campaign

T give every man credit for peihe sincere in his profession of religious faith and in his political affilation, but after prohibition has been tried and found failure. and worse than a failure, it is hard for me to understand how any lh- telligent citizen can vote dry on August "A or justify himself in voting for the dis pensary in preference to the licensed sa- loon,' said a well-known public-spirited member of the Chamber of Commerce last night.
 One of the best cartoons that has yet appeared was according to my notion that in which Artist Walter Blaekman depicted the saloon opposition fellow straining over the Smith regulation act to find flaws. It hit the situation exactly, so far as my dispensary friends go. The smith measure may not be perfect, but all in all the law as it stands is good. Those who found fault with it failed, l think, to take a reasonable view. One of the things harped on by the saloon op- position, contingent is that the excise com mission will have the power to allow sa- looms to be established anywhere and everywhere
 "Blackmans cartoon in this morning S Age-Herald was another of his great hits. It had no title, but the word hypocrisy would cover all the ideas set forth in this striking pictorial satire, Certainly the ex- else commission has large powers. It would be dismal failure if it did not Ia ptift xrbo no lya such a fuss about where saloons might be located assume that the excise commis- sion will be composed of weak or cor rupt men. Now no intelligent citizen can honestly say that he believes the men who will form the Jefferson county ex- else commission will be other than high class gentlemen.
 'l have heard many prohibitionists say that saloons can be opened in Woodlawn and East Lake, and they insnuate that those outlying residence districts of Bir- mingham will be honeycombed with the liquor traffic. As a matter of course, sa- looms will not be located In any residence where objection may be raised. When Jefferson county had sa- looms prior to 1907 there was no liquor place in Woodlawn or East Lake. Today l am told by those who know that blind tigers are numerous in those localities Howard college boys are thus tempted, whereas in former years when the sa- loon business was at Its worst students had to como into the business district of Birmingham if they wanted to buy liquor, and the chances were after they got here bartenders would refuse to serve them The blind tiger caters to minors as well as the men over 21 years of age.
 "The saloon side will win this month and Birmingham will have few saloons and few bona fide clubs and a few ho- tels serving liquor under license There will be no blind tigers, no SO-room hotel unless it be genteel hotel, and no dives"

IT'S SOMETHING WORTH WHILE

He is the best of sapors. Pineapple Is great. She is indeed almost too trans cendent-a delight, if not sinful, yet so like to shining that really tender-con- scienced person would do we'll to pause | too ravishing for mortal taste she wound- eth and excoriateth the lips that approach her-like lovers kisses, she biteth-she is a pleasure bordering pain from the fierceness and insanity of her relish--but she stoppeth at the palate-she meddleth not with the appetite-and the coarsest hunger might barter her consistently for a mutton chop.
 Pig-let me speak his praise-is no less provocative of the appetite than he is sat | isfactory to the criticalness of the cen | serious palate. The strong man may bat | ten on him. and the weakling refuseth not his mild juices.
 Unlike to mankinds mixed characters, a bundle of virtues and vices inexplic- | ably intertwisted, and not to be unray- eled without hazardahe is good through out. No part of him is better or worse than another. He helpeth, as far as his | little means extend, all around. He is the least envious of banquets. He is all neighbors fare. l am one of those who freely and ungrudgingly impart a share of the good things of this life which fall | to their lot (few as mine are in this | kind) to a friend I protest I take as | great interest in my friends pleasures his relishes and proper satisfactions as l in mine own.

Methinks 1t is an ingratitude to the giver of all good favors to extra domicilate or send out of the house slghtingly (under pretext of friendship or I know not what, a blessing so par ticularly adapted, predestined, I may say. to my individual palate.
