VIEWS ON LOCAL OPTION

q am against prohibition for the reason that it does not, nor ever has, prohibited, said William R. Farley, the former labor leader. T will grant you that sumptuary prohibition laws make it more difficult for the worlSingman to get a glass of beer but it has never stopped the man of means from filling his sideboard to over1owing or that of his club, I con tend that the man who tolls from 10 to F hours day, often at labor that is both arduous and hazardous, is due some consideration, and is as fully capable of controlling himself as those who are prohibitionists for the other fellow.
 Tn my opinion and experience the man who tolls drinks in moderation, and usually prefers beer to the stronger liquors, and certainly prefers wholesome draught beer to the inferior stuff that is now being illegally sold at much ad- vanced prices
 Tn regard to my first assertion, in my capacity as a member of the general com mittee of the Mine Workers union, I spent some months in the prohibition states of Kansas and Maine, and wit messed open and fragrant violations of the law in both places In the past few years l have travelled much, and have vet to see a single place where prohibition jaws have been effectually enforced. shall vote for the open saloon as the fair est and best way of dealing with the liquor question"
 From every standpoint, moral and otherwise, I favor the operation of legal iEed saloons as against the illegal sale of liquor, whether in clubs restaurants O. the so-called blind tigers" said Dr. NJ A. Kirkland.

POPULAR DOG DEAD

Bunny is dead. Those who witnessed the performance of the charming little playlet, The House That Jack Built" presented at the Orpheum the latter part of April by the children of Birmingham will doubtless remember the little poodle dog that "Mother Goose carried on the stage with her and who acted its part to perfection. It was named Bunny and was the special pet of Metyline Me David the bright and charming little daughter of MT. and Mrs. Ned McDavid, and was the joy and pride of her affeo- tionate little heart. Bunny's ancestors were of the aristocratic Frenche poodle and the plebian Scotch terrier. She had all the fastidiousness characteristic of her French connections and the faithful ness and sagacity of her Scotch forbears.
 She was the proud mother of a litter of puppies, and in moment of mistaken kindness they were taken from her and destroyed. Then it was that her Scotch ancestry asserted itself, and her maternal little heart yearned for her offspring. Her ceaseless search for her 'babies'
 was pathetic, and the mute appeal of her anguished eyes touching in the extreme. In vain were tempting dishes placed be- fore her. She touched them not, for like Racheal, "she refused to be comforted.'
 In response to words of sympathy she gave gasp that sounded like a sob, and a genuine tear rolled from her eye. At last, weary of her fruitess search. she stretched out her little form and gave up the ghost. She truly died of a broken heart and grief for her young ones. Her young mistress and little companions are deeply grieved at the loss of the loyal lit- tie playmate and her death has left a gap that neither Teddy Bear or "Bil
 ken' can fill. Some one has said that "No man. woman or child ever loved dog or cat without being better off for it.'

prohibition less beer is being sold than formerly, and possibly less whisky, but believe that just as much money is be- ing spent for liquor and beer as when 1t was sold openly. In the first place the illicit seller of prohibited liquors neces- sarily puts mp the price and generally for much inferior article than the com petitive saloon, and 10 my mind with far more disastrous results. The present con- ditions certainly justify a change, and I shall vote for the high-license saloon as the best means of handling the present undesirable and unsettled conditions"
 T have lived in Birmingham for the past 9 years, and have seen all the changes from the all-night saloon to the present condition under the prohibition laws,' said Tom Williams. the music dealer. As a result of my personal ob- servation, I believe the present condi- uons are far worse than under the old system. As Lee Long remarked, .Whis- ky has few friends in public, but fewer enemies in private and I am of the opin- ion that there is more whisky drunk to- day than under the old conditions. In former days there We're few violations on Sunday, for as is well known, the sa- loonist closed his business at the hours prescribed by law, but the Illicit dis penser knows neither laws, days nor hours. He never sleeps and 1t Is as easy to procure whisky Sunday as any other day. In fact, it is proeurable morning, noon and night
 There may be less evidences of drink ing in public, but far more in private. and the present conditions have made Whlsky drinkers of men who formerly lndulsed In nothing stronger than beer. believe the return of the saloon will he beneficial, both from a moral and eco- homie standpoint"

WORTHY OF ACCEPTANCE
 SAY BIRMINGHAM VOTERS

Robert w. Ewing, president of Roberts x Son, said: q think that the bond issue as recommended by our present commits sioners, after careful investigation of the matter, is certainly worthy of the ac- ceptance of the people of Birmingham. We voted for the commission form of government, and we must support the new administration in their policies if we are to realize any change from the old form of government The finances of the city should undoubtedly be put on a strong, substantial basis, and the bank CTS and business men generally have agreed that the bond issue Is a good method of securing the loans that are necessary. I am heartily in favor of the bond issue as proposed by our commits sionerS."

The Young Mems Good Government club, which rendered valuable services in past political campaigns of this city, county and state, yesterday forwarded to the commissioners a letter indorsing the bond issue and pointing out that all mem- bers of that organization should rally to the support of the proposition.
 It was pointed out in the communication that the request for the bond issue was not made because the city was run by a commission, but for the reason that the city was in debt and should be releived of that burden as quickly as possible.
 The letter to. members has embodied the suggestion that the city with proper fiuan- cial power may make some effective i'm provements which are needed badly. It was also suggested that if the bond is- sue carried the public schools may be equipped with free text books, which are zens.
 The letter which insures considerable active support for the bond issue was signed by w. l.. Klein, president; J. F. Staley. secretary; s. J. Stevens, first vice president; c. D. 1<lotzman, second vice president; J. H. Leath, third vice pres ident; AJs B. Burgis, fourth vice president; J. F. Antwine, fifth vice president; John w Altman, chairman of the board of governors, and the following members of the board of governors: Dr. H. A. Elkourie, John L. Lunsford E. w. Shearer, ". Torina, H. L. Farley, Gus Costelos.
 Commissioner Weatherly who received the petition from the Good Government club, said lie was very much pleased to have the support of the organization and he was sure the other commissioners would also signify their satisfaction that such aid had been voluntarily rendered the city officials. The indications are that the Good Government club will be- come very active for the bond issue and put in some fine work for it between this time and Monday, when the elee- ton is to be held.

 "The commission has made an admira- ble beginning. Under it's capable man. agement, money should begin to accumu- late beyond immediate needs within five years. The surplus should go to the pay ment of the bonds. If allowed to run to the limit of 30 years, the people would pay two and one-half times the face val ue. That would be bad financing Our people cannot want that. The voters need information on this very important point. It would clear the way to intelligent ac- ton in the minds of many"

 WHAT THEY ASK FOR

'I have never seen three men who have worked as diligently to assist Bir- mingham to regain her deserved status as the three commissioners" said Tuns- tall Perry yesterday. They have striven every day, from every indication. to per- form their work well. And they have reached the conclusion that certain sum of money will be necessary to get Bir- mingham in the proper financial position. I am in favor of granting the commits sioners that respect and shall vote for the bond issue Monday"
