Prohibition Will Never
Win in England

1H HE Anti-Saloon League of
= America having made this coun-
try dry will try to win victories in the
Old world. Its leaders have already
laid plans to show France and Eng
land how they can be induced to fol-
low the example of the United States.
France has given no serious atten-
ton to the prohibition question, and it
probably never will. Grape growing
and wine making are great industries
IN France and wine is the principal
table drink in that country. Water is
little valued for drinking purposes,
because it is not regarded as whole
some. The hydrant water in Paris,
as is that of Rome, is full of disease
germs, and no one drinks it. if he
values his health.
In England it is different. There is
plenty of pure drinking water in the
British Isles, and while the British
as people are great beer drinkers.
to say nothing of their love for Scotch
whisky, many Britains are total alb
stainers.
Two or three of the Anglican
bishops have not only taken "the
pledge" but have preached strongly
in behalf of the temperance cause.
But the methods in England have been
altogether along. moral suasion lines.
Lady Somerset, who has been at the
head of the temperance movement
for many years, makes it plain that
she will never favor statutory prohi-
bition. Total abstinence, she con-
tends, should never be other than vol
untary.
During the war Lloyd George was
almost persuaded to put Great Britain
on a total abstinence basis, not
because he wished to deprive his
lmajesty's subjects, but for economic
reasons. The food material going into
malt drinks diminished the food SUD-
lply to a serious extent and in view of
the situation he greatly restricted the
beer output. A day or two ago the
prime minister announced in the
House of Commons that restrictions
on beer would be no longer enforced
and that shortly Parliament would re-
move the law from the statute books.
The alehouse may have it's evils,
but it will long continue to be an in
stitution of England. The Anti
Saloon league will have hard shedding
there.

Exum Regular Fellow

Few if any Birmingham men enjoy
the popularity among younger fellows
than Mr.. 'Culpepper Exum does" said B.
T. Mooney, consequently the news that
he had been made vice president of the
Aetna Powder company was hailed with
delight by those of us who have been
privileged to know him. Especially among
the newspaper boys was Mr.. Exum a
great favorite, and all of us who came
in touch with him while he was admin
istering the city affairs knew he was all
wool and yard wide.

when the newspaper man puts the stamp
of approval on any citizen he's all right.

Guard Promotes Peace


city are under the impression that the
national guard is against the union and
for the purpose of suppressing it," said
Maj. Lucien Brown yesterday. They
are greatly mistaken. The national
guard does not propose to suppress the
union in any way, but is intended to
uphold the peace and dignity of
the state.
Some of these people state that the
national guardsmen have shot down
union men in strikes previously held
in this state. That is absolutely false.
l have been in the national guard for
the past 80 years and have occasion to
know that never once In that time have
national guardsmen fired upon strik-
ers. In every case where casualties
have resulted as the outcome of a clash
between authorities and strikers, the
shooting Of the strikers was always
the result of difficulty between deputy
sheriffs and the strikers, never with
the national guardsmen
to uphold that peace and dignity of the
state which any good citizen, whether
he be union man or not, likes to see
upheld
