MAKE A LIVING FROM
NEW PROHIBITION LAW
Identifying Liquor Consignees a
Regular Occupation In
BeSsemer, Ala,

Birmingham, Ala, Sept Out OF
the rigid Statewide prohibition Law
under which the thirsty citizen can
refresh himself only by shipments OF
whiskey and beer in narrowly restrict
ed limits, new and lucrative busi-
ness has sprung up in Bessemer, Ala.
which bids fair to spread to many
cities and towns In the State. This
is in the form of identification" un-
der which a party goes to the express
company and Identifies man who
has a package of liquor consigned to
him, but who Is unknown to the ex-
press people, who, under the law. must
reqire trustworthy identification be-
fore delivering shipments.
For months citizens were frequently
called on to identify consignees; but
this developed into situation which
required considerable loss of time
So the custom of making small
charge Of twenty-five cents for walk
| ing to the express office became quite
general.
| Calls for Identification got Sc
numerous that the price for this ser
vice was increased to fifty cents. TIL,
business has grown so large that som'
men arc making their living tina
way, and payments for this service
often aggregate as much as a hun
dred dollars a day.
! AS an outgrowth of this situation
the City Condl Of Bessemer is con
sidering the adoption of an ordinance
providing that any one who acts a
regular identifier must pay a II
cense to the city.

"UPTIFTFR" OR BOOZEDEALER,
WHICH FOR THE WORK. >GMAN

There's sense in which there may
be 100 much "uplift' work. even In
behalf OF a down -trodden humanity
Whenever such work Is done in
spirit of paternalism or patronage, IT
becomes obnoxious especially to
workingmen. who resent nothing quite
so quickly as a feeling of superiority
exhibited by those who are trying to
save" them.
This may apply to anti-saloon
workers. And the liquor journals
make the most OF whatever may be
construed as an exhibition of this
spirit,
But workingmen might be greatly
benefited by doing a lot of original
thinking on this entire proposition.
II is to be regretted that once in
a great while an anti loon fighter
may seem to assume superior atti-
tude simply because he is urging
upon others certain advantages Of
which he himself has already awaited
himself, because he has nothing to do
with booze or with booze joints.
But ordinarily the thousands of sa-
/ loon fighters in this country are en-
! gagged in this task because of purely
unsefsh motives Even those who
are salaried mon In this fight are Sc
lected because they were unusually
successful in some other field. This
job can never be put through by those
, who have been failures in any field
| II is safe and fair 70 say, therefore
| that saloon fighters are opposed tc
| the saloon as matter of principle
! and from a keen sense of duty, and
not because they are compelled to dc
| this work in order to make a living
| But what about those who are de-
