the prohibitionists have gone too far. They have re-enacted the Fuller and Car michael bills containing those extreme search and seizure clauses. They have presented local Webb Kenyon bill, very remarkable document, in that it linn fits to the very drop the extent 10 which a bibulous individual might proceed They have presented a resolution memorabilia ing Congress actually to estop passage through the mails of all papers and mag azines in which liquor advertisements are contained. They have presented a bill denying newspapers printed in Alabama the right to publish liquor advertise ments. They have presented a bill under which newspaper can charge for polit- fcal advertisement, never solicited. only certain amount per inch. And other instances might be stated to prove the local contention that they have proceeded too far, and that in the end if history Repeats itself, will have done irreparable injury to their cause. Such was done, as is remembered during the Conner ad- ministration when they endeaYored to write prohibition into the constitution. Such was done last spring, a is remem- bered, when their leaders endea avored to prove. that Congressman Underwood was q tool in the hands Of the liquor forces.
 In the beginning. they had oppor- tunity to let the people of Alabama who in GO of e counties are dry" pass upon tho ~''ostion of prohibition-and prohi- biiion unattached by political appendices in the shape of ambitious candidates. They had the opportunity to settle the liquor question perhaps forever in Ala bama They declined the opportunity. The mistake was sosglaring that one of them, Speaker Carmichael, endeavored to explain. But if is safe to say that a majority of the members of the legis- 1ature do not believe with him that the people are all right but are. neverthe- less, nurcha sable.
 Local optionists do not believe that

 Is Is not rather more probable that 1t has been discovered that imported
 nen and money have failed to seduco you from your allegiance to the prin- ciple of local self government and in dividual liberty?
 Wilson sought your suffrage; Hous- ton trusted the people of Alahama; Morgan had faith in you Pattus be- licved In you; Johnston felt more aon- ored to have your votes than to oc- cdpy the high offices to which you ele- vated him: Underwood had no hesita- tion in surrendering one commission to ask another at your hands. thousands of men as high and pure as any that walk on earth have been willing that you should sit in judgment upon them. And yet a majority of the members of the legislature of Alabama say that you are too dishonorable, that you hold your liberties too lightly to be trusted with the ballot when the jingle of dollar Is to be heard.

0'NEAL ID MOVE 1 HERE MONDAY The Retiring Governor Will
 Make Future Home in Birmingham

Montgomery, January 16.-(Special) ] The present governor of Alabama, who has less than two days to preside over the destinies of the state. will on next Monday night leave for Birmingham, where he will immediately make arrange ments to engage in the practice of his profession. The governor will be accom- panied by the members of his family.
 As has been previously announced, the governor proposes to make his future res tdence in Birmingham. and he will at once endeavor to locate a suitable home in that city.
 Regarding the refereeship of the United States district court in Birmingham in which connection the governors name has previously been mentioned in the col umns of The Age-Herald, the chief eX- ecutive this afternoon announced that he had not determined what his attitude would be in reference to that office. He stated that he proposed to look into the matter, though would not say whether he would accept the place. His son, Kirk man O'Neal. will be attached to the de- partment. and it is generally believed here that the governor will become the referee.
 The Governor and Mrs. O'Neal will re- main in Birmingham several days mak- ing arrangements for the future Mrs. O'Neal will then go to Florence on a brief visit.
 The chief executive and his family will vacate the governors mansion to- morrow and will go to the Gay-Teague hotel for the remainder of their stay in Montgomery.
 The Governor and Mrs O'Neal have made themselves very popular socially in Montgomery and their many friends will regret to see them leave this city.

chance, without the hope of landing some- thing good-a trade of his own. He seemed, in his own mind to have picked out something, one and two things, that would carry him whistling through life
 when he really has in view task, filled with venture, and clothed in vast uncer- talntles, yet he Is getting ready to do scmethng, and we know he is very earn est and this is q great asset. Within the last few days we have repeatedly asked,
 What does your husband do?'' and too often have heard anything, just odd jobs or what ever he can get"
 A man with family without trade, without the possession of one means of support in which he is best. A reyitable living from hand to mouth" with no possible hope of ever being any further rom struggle. What an existence, and what hope has his little family.
 The country offers the only opportunity to this class of labor. Any man with energy can work on farm, and any man can plant a crop and no matter how crude the home, if 1t IS ciean anc nis' family is well fed, he has accomplished something. With so much idle lands in Alabama it is pity the young men and young women who have started life on an uncertainty together cannot see the wis dom of going where they can make a living in the country, instead of hovelling in the penury of i'll luck in the city.
 Any woman who has health and en- ergy can make comfortable home out of cabin, and a garden with a very few seed and yet so many want to live right where they can see the fire engine run to the fires, and they are wasting their minds and bodies and often souls to live in city.
 We believe there should be a farm with farmhouses somewhere near, with custodian where families could be sent and trained to do something for themselves to raise them above the humiliation of asking for bread Some means of starting thenf on a tract of d few acres with a training in farming until they were built up physically and financially. This would seem a boon to many poor woman who has cud- dled her little folks in the corner with scarcely spark of fire waiting until father comes in at night, to see hiE emptyhanded and no means of finding an odd job.

Victories Important

Berlin, January 16.-Recent victories in the region of Soissops are regarded by German military experts as the greatest German successes in France for three months. The outcome there con firms their conviction, they declare. that General Joffre offensive has broken down.
 Major Moraht, writing in the Tager blatt says French losses in the three days fighting in the Soissons district must have reached 30000. His conclu- sion is that this victory must expedite German operations in the Argonne forest and around the French fortress of Nerdun.

THE IDLE WITHOUT A TRADE

Ne asked small boy a few days ago when he was brim full of life and Y ith a head apparently full of i1oals, hat he wanted to make of himself when he got to be a man.

This boy evil dently thinks he has found something easy. He has no idea of the tolls Of the man who pulls the political wires the real work of being an expert These men look jolly and bouyant to him--he does not know the uncertain- ty of the game and has not tasted de- feat. 1t takes a mighty struggle to hang on 10 the ropes of the body pol. tie and it is full of disappointments yet seems a fascinating sport and thousands of men have gwen thelr lives to if, why not let the little boy dream he is going to be a governor some day with a senate and a legislature ail Of his own. It won't be long before he will realize that he has made q des~ Heraie 1lSnl TOT the plum and Is It worth while after all If he had his life to plan again wouldn't he rather have his 40 acres and a mule and n harvest of content at sunset?

This very condition has demanded larger jails over the country Many criminals have been made by being reared in shiftless homes; and are We fulfilling our duty to our neighbors when we let them live by chance?
 Passing up Twentieth street only yes- terday morning just at the alley be- tween First and Second avenues, next to the First National Bank building, we saw a poor old man and a little girl bending over a garbage can. nearby restaurant had thrown out the refuse there for the trash wagon. This old man and his .grandchild were eat
 ing the scraps of cold bread with one hand and filling a bag with the other We stopped and asked why. The same old story--he had no job, nothing to eat, and owed his rent, but he was will ing to work if he only knew where. He Is a country raised man and he can not fill a city job.
 He is not iiving--he is starvinG-and that little girl is starving too. Yet It is nobody's business that he should hack to the country where he knows Low to raise chickens and feed a COW and blow a field. All we can do is to help him and keep on helping him every day until he finds out what he can do in the city. Now he does not Know what Is best for him, he has not thought-he did not think as he be- gan life-he was not trained, he simp- ly grew up, and now he is too old to begin 1t all over again--someDody must think and do for him the rest Of his days-and his family, too.
 Let the young boys and young girls begin to plan life early-nurse their childish dreams-they are sowing seed for usefulness. We cannot buiid any thing without some kind of plan and certainly nothing is So worth wh'ie as our own character building. There is no human structure perfect but 1t is never at it's best unless it is fitted for Guty-ready to put their best efforts in some worthy calling-to know what appeals to their nature and where best they can please and then work.
