Not an Issue With People


 as can be learned, the question of tolls repeal is not now an issue with the peo- ple. The only place it is an issue is in Washington. What effect it may have on the political future of those for or against it they can't find out, for their constituency as a whole are silent, and seem little concerned.
 Senator Bankhead said that he had re- ceived a few letters from Alabama. and that most of them were opposed to repeal. The senator himself is with the President; he voted against free tolls when the ques- tion was up in the Senate in 1912
 There are senators who say that they have heard absolutely nothing from any of their constituents Apparently all the fuss is in Washington. However they fear that if the question is made a polit- 1eal one. and that after the people have studied it from all angles and hear the arguments for and against the proposi- tion, it will become an issue of very gen. erous proportions.
 The speech of Senator Lodge who prac- tically admitted all the contentious oi those who are opposed to repeal-that is to say. he admitted that the exemption of own vessels was a sound prin. ciple from an economic standpoint and that 1t was not in contravention of the 15ay-Pauncefote treaty, but that he fav. pred repeal purely to restore our good standing in the opinion of foreign nations has as a matter Of fact strengthened O'Gorman and the other leaders agains, repeal. The disclosures of the treaty with Colombia also have served to lend ait to the opponents of the President, in tha, they point out that clear discrimination is made by this government with Colombia with reference to it's vessels, of trade and of war.
 In the words of Senator Jim Ham Lewis it is "close, frightfully close.''

THE AMERICAN ISSUE

William Jennings Bryan, secretary OF state OF the
federal government is not only statesman and high
official, but well-informed politician. Mr.. Bryan, in
the last issue of his publication, The Commoner takes
stand Democrat, which will doubtless become
the raying cry of all good men who Democrats
and who love their party.
Mr.. Bryan declares that the party must dissolve
whatever of relationship it may have to the liquor
business He declares the liquor traffic to be mill
stone which his party must throw from its neck and
he calls on all good Democrats to stand up against
the liquor business.
Whatever big public says the liquor
business is significant and it is noteworthy that the
number of those in high places who declaring
themselves to be the foe of liquor and the friend of
Prohibition is increasing

Prohibition and Prosperity

NJ. E. Hay, former governor of the state of Wash
ngton is not pessimstic regarding the effect Prohi-
bton will have on his state. Mr. Hay says that when
the law goes into effect prosperity, rather than hard
times, will be the lot of the people of the common
wealth.
Il can nothing but the best results to follow
this enactment, says the former governor, "as they
have followed in every instance where Prohibition has
been introduced"
Mr.. Hay says that of course there is bound to be
reaction He is that such radical action as
that taken by the people of Washington when they
voted their state dry must inevitably be followed by
aftermath But this aftermath, in his opinion will
be limited and brief. The fact that the new measure
does not go into effect until January l. 1916, will he
thinks, have the effect of preparing the people for
the change.
Not the capital invested in the liquor bust
ness will be seriously disturbed, says Mr.. Hay The
fourteen months between the election and the going
into effect of Prohibition will enable the liquor men to
protect themselves. They will have time to adjust
their business and to invest their holdings in other
business. Employees of manufacturing and retail es-
adjustments also will have abundant time to adjust
themselves to circumstances.
Governor Hay knows what he's talking about.

England, Also, Wants 1t

News dispatches sent from London say that the
public is much concerned because of the great
amount of drinking going on there and that every
day there demand that the sale of intoxicants be
curtailed. Military officials are reported to be dis
gusted with the drunkenness of soldiers
Drinking among also is said to have in
creased, and there is general feeling that steps
should be taken to curb ntemperance. Many go so
far to declare that absolute Prohibition should be
adopted
War is terrible thing, but if the present strug-
gle in Europe is serving the purpose of pointing
to the nations the great ruin and devastation wrought
by liquor, then this is in vain From the open
ing of the fighting the nations engaged in it have
been looking toward curtalment of the use of spr-
its. Finally Russia prohibited the sale of liquors
altogether
It need surprise nobody if England takes the
course. Alcoholic liquor is bound to go. It's

and that time to be not far off

Prohibition and Realty Values

L. 4. Magenhe1mer, real estate of Tucson,
Arizona declares that the who breaches the idea
that Prohibition hurts realty values is very much mis-
taken. AS matter of fact, holds Mr. Magenheimer,
Prohibition increases the value of real estate and
makes it better investment.
This real estate has lately returned from
the East. He found Eastern ready to put their
money into Arizona that the people of that state
have voted to eliminate saloons. Heretofore the cap
italists have regarded Arizona frontier mining
state, with saloons, gambling houses and other
tendant evils as being prominent features. But since
the people have shown themselves progressive
to put these evils out of business, the Eastern
finds that Arizona is mighty good place in which to
invest in real estate.
The capitalists do not regard those who
gagged in the liquor business creators of value No
will invest his money in state locality in
which the saloon is wrecking instead of building up.
Capitalists desire not only return their invest
ment, but safety, security and permanent property
value as we'll There is no desirable form of
investment than realty and values in that line grow
just the realty becomes desirable through
improvement in conditions of living.
No man will pretend to believe that piece of real
estate is worth because it is surrounded by
looms. If that is true, then the realty of does
increase in value because here and there saloons
dot the landscape. The fact is, the Punishment of
looms contributes to the value of all legitimate lines
of industry and investment.

 There Saturday ONE BAD ACCIDENT Public Installation of Masons Follow ing Dinner-Athletic Programme Feature-Lang Talks Along
 Educational Lines

PeIl City, July 5.-(Special )-The lar
 Gest crowd that ever assembled in St.
 Clair gathered at Pel City yesterday
 to enjoy the Fourth of July celebra-
 tion arranged by the council and busi- ness men of this place. Tn spite of the threatening weather, 1t was conserva- lively estimated that over 1000 visitors were on hand by the time the barbecue was served at,noon. It took less than 90 minutes to clear the tables of 5000 pounds of meat and other good things in pro- portion.
 The official programme started at 10 o'clock with prayer by the Rev. J. War ren, followed by an address of welcome by Mayor Thompson and a song by the public, My Country 'Tis of Thee" The Declaration of Independence was then read and at 1:S0 Professor Lang of An niston, delivered a very interesting ad- dress on the Value of Education"
 Immediately after dinner there was public installation of Masonic officers in charge. of Grand Master Henry Clayton Miller, and promptly on schedule the grand parade started at ?. The parade was composed of 20 floats illustrating rural li1e or half generation ago, With other floats to show the progress of education, home life and agriculture since that period.
 The athletic programme began Tn the afternoon with many races of skill and endurance, followed by two ball games between Lincoln and Pell City Lin coin won the first game, hands down, but the second went the full route of nine innings with neither side able to score, due to the masterly pitching of Dickin- son for Lincoln and Crow for Pell City. In the first game Suggs of Lincoln had Pell City at his mercy at all times
 Only one arrest was made during the day and that for minor offense A serious accident occurred in the morning which cast gloom upon the crowd un- til 1t was announced that no one was fatally injured. The guard rail to one of the floats gave way during the pa- rade and three children riding on the wagon were thrown to the ground and run over. For an hour MT. Meehan's childs life was despaired of but later news was more reassuring
 One of the features of the day was the awarding of the prize piano offered by the local newspaper The S4O0 in strument waV won by the Talladega High school of Lincoln, with a majority of 5000 votes oyer it's nearest rival

CORONER FAILS TO
 GET SUNDAY REST

Coroner Charles l.. Spain, discouraged by the list of casualties published in yesterday mornings Age Herald re- solved to investigate only one killing and to rest for the day with his family He would have rested but he chose the wrong murder to investigate.
 The coroner having selected his case started for Shades mountain. where about 5:90 o'clock Saturday afternoon Hardy Jones Caver negro shot and killed Walter Marshall. another negro. The coroner anticipated that the case would take about an hour and he would leave for home. He arrived at Wood lawn, his residencesabout 9 o'clock last night
 When Coroner Spain reached the scene of the killing he was confronted with tho task of finding witnesses of the shoot ing. Advice flew thick and fast as to how to find the witnesses all of whom were negroes and who live all over Shades mountain within radius of 10 miles. The coroner tramped the woods all morning and afternoon and finally located enough witnesses to proceed with the case. He then empaneled d jury and heard the evidence. This procedure took
 
 vain as the jury rendered the verdict that Hardy Jones Caver had wilfully murdered Walter Marshall. With this verdict in his pocket the coroner slowly tramped to the car line, where, after many transfers and patient waits he arrived at his modest cottage, where his frugal meal was coldly waiting for him. And then the telephone rang and the coroner had to listen patiently to the re- port of various undertakers. who mono tonousy announced deaths by accidents and otherwise a la Birmingham style and he ruminated to the effect of paro- dizing tho old Biblical saying of:
 What shall 1t profit man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul" to:
 What shall it profit me to give thank less service and lose the comforts of my home-?"
 No answer coming to his voiced query the coroner slowly divested himself of his garments and retired to dream that the board of revenue had wished Ford automobile on him as a tribute to his progress. R. F, l..
