Naturally. the question that pre-
scented itself to us Americans as We
looked over the plant. was whether
or not the procedure could be- dupI-
Gated under American conditions. We
have canvassed the situation fully
and can discover no reason why the
entire plan or one parallel to 1t could
not be adopted in any progressive
American city. Everywhere coopera-

because they produce product that Is

Alabama Didn't Do So Badly After All

Kilby, as president of the next senate,
Will preside over that body, and has
announced that he will insist on his
constitutional right to name stand
ing committees. The senate will have
to name president pro tenn, and
Marion Sims, of Talladega, John A.
Lusk, of Marshall, Harry Harwell. of
Mobile, and w. w. Hill. of Mont
gomery, have been mentioned for the
honor
In the new senate will be two men
who formerly sat in that body, but
not single senator who served in the
last senate will be in the new organ
1zation. In the house, however, will
be found many members of the previ
Gus legislature, as we'll as some who
served in the dry house of 1907.
When the primary of May II is
hello, the people will have before them
the choice of electing a Prohibition
1st or local option man. 1t is in
conceivable that having chosen a dry
legislature they will turn in and Sc
lect man for governor who is not in
harmony with the Legislature. 1t is
held that for this reason Conner is
morally certain of victory. 1t is
pointed out that the rejectio of Hob
son for Underwood is not parallel
case, for the reason mentioned earlier
in this article, that the selection of
state officials is matter closer to
the voter than the selection of
United States senator, and having
elected a dry legislature the people
will certainly go ahead and put over
the legislators man who will stand
with them on all good measures.
The liquor men in Alabama and
elsewhere rejoiced when they read
IN the newspapers that Hobson was
defeated by their own man, Under
wood, but now there are great clouds
of gloom floating before their eyes, as
they realize that Alabama is lost to
them for ever.
Not only is this state safely dry To-
cally but it can be counted on to 60
heavily in favor of the Sheppard-H
son resolution for national Prohibi-
ton, when that measure is put up to
them.
The election is regarded, not only
along the lines of the wet and dry
question, but in other ways as indicat-
ing the progressive spirit of the New

confusion of the election contest, and
as the vision becomes clearer, that
which at first was regarded by both
antagonist and protagonist as
whisky victory assumes now the
brightness of victory for the drys,
and its Importance grows daily.
True enough, Hobson, candidate of
the drys, was defeated in the senate
rial struggle, by Underwood. candi-
date of the vets. The next day after
the election this result bu1ked large
on the political horizon, and obscured
other things. But it was discovered
that there were other elements than
the wet and dry issue entering into the
senatorial fight; it was observed, too,
that the same thing occurred in Ala
bama that frequently occurs elsew here,
namely, that as between two candi-
dates, voter often will select the wet
one, at the same time enrolling him
self on the side of the drys when he
has opportunity to do SO on a real
question of saloons or no saloons.
Also, the senatorial election had
national significance. The election of
members of the legislature of Ala
bama had local significance. Many
voters of Alabama did not see the
Importance of sending to the United
States senate a man who could be
I,.A
they did see the Importance of send
ing men to the Alabama capital whose
vote and influence would make and
keep Alabama dry.
So after all, the election in this
state was a tremendous victory for
the drys. The next legislature will
be composed of men both tried and
untried, but the ensemble is strongly
progressive, and dry as bone. Even
among the conservatives who will go
to Montgomery there are those who
lean strongly toward radicalism.
All signs point to legislature that
will out-dry the dry legislature of
1907. The members of the 1egisla-
ture will stand practically unanimous
for the policies advocated by former
Governor B. B. Conner And that
splendid man stands good chance of
again leading the people. On May
II there will be a primary election,
at which the people will choose be-
tween Conner and Charles Hender-
son for governor.
At least seventy-fve of the los
members of the house are classed as
Prohibitionists. The local optionists,
who in Alabama are the vets, can
count certainly only six members of
the senate who will be on their side.
Either Archie Carmichael, of Colbert
county, or Henry P. Merritt, of Ma
con county, will be the next speaker
of the house. Both are avowed sup

FLOWER Thieves
MADISON FLOWER GARDENERS
COMPIAIN-ARRESTS IN
OTHER TOWNS.

A number of complaints have
come to The Daily Leader of thefts of
flowers in different parts of the city.
While it is annoying to have flowers
picked, residents complain less of the
flowers taken than of the destruction
of plants. 1t is petty meanness and
ought to be stopped. In Sioux Falls
drastic measures are taken to curb
the flower thief as the following from
the Argus-Leader indicates:
THE n OF Sioux Falls flower
gardens are beginning to prosecute
the flower thieves. A woman, about
rs years of age, boldly entered a yard
on North Duluth avenue and COM
menced raiding the tulip beds. A
hurry-up call was sent in to police
headquarters and was responded to
by officer Sexton who placed the
woman under arrest. She was taken
to police headquarters where she be-
came hysterical. AS she was very
p%enitent and appeared to be an ig-
%norant working girl it was decided
not to prosecute her further and she
was allowed TO go after receiving a
severe admonition.
The picking OF flowers may seem
a trifling ~offense, but the raising of
spring and early summer flowers is
attended by considerable expense and
requires the expenditure of time and
effort. The flower gardens of the
city are for the enjoyment, not only
of their owners, but of the entire
public, land the meanest kind of
thieves ara fhoga Win caak tn dacnpiI

COURT RULING
Decision Handed Down In SCIool
Board Case.

Rapid City, May 26.-That the
country school board must employ a
teacher capable of teaching high
school work if the voters in that
community desire it, but that the
board is not compelled to order high
school work taught. is the gist Of a
modified decision just rendered in the
state supreme court IN the case of
j. ID. Croft against the Piedmont
school district board in Meade cOUn-
ty. The case originated a year ago
when the Piedmont parents at he
annual election adopted a resolution
requiring the employment of a teach
er qualified to teach the higher work.
The board refused to comply and was
mandamused in the circuit court be-
fore Judge MCGEE here, who held
that such a teacher must be employ
ed and that he or she must teach the
upper grade work. The supreme
court eliminates this latter mandate
and upholds the former.

REAL TRAVELLING MEN
They Respond To the Assistance of
Stranded Girls.

Milwaukee Journal: The other
day some girls who had come to a
Wisconsin city to sell books found
themselves stranded. All except two
had made enough to pay their return
fares, and departed to their homes.
Two of them had no money. Just
when they were most discouraged,
the temptation to shame presented it
self. They we're accosted in their
hotel by a woma who wanted them
for her W evil purposes. The ter
rible alternative that has wrecked so
many girls lives came to them with
very real intensity. And then some
travelling men interfered. They sent
the mi who traded in her fellow
women's shame about her business
without ceremony. They male up a
purse that more than covered the
fares needed to send the girls home,
and a story that threatened an awful
tragedy ended happily.
We hear a great deal of the tempt
ations to which a young girl is sub
ject, of the deadly alternative be-
tween starvation and dishonor, of
men worse than wolves who gauge
with terrible nicely a woman's power
of resistance. Here we're men of the
other kind, ready at the call of a fell
low human being to save her.
A pretty good sort of Americans,
these travelling men. They figure
largely in our current humor, but
everyone who has travelled knows
that they are for the most part quiet
men who go quietly about their bust
ness. but always with an eye open
for a little kindness they can do. And
sometimes, as in this Wisconsin city,
ready at need to perform a great
service.
Shall we not praise the men who
are ready to help as much as we con.
denim the men who prey?
