 Mobiles Worthy Amendment. Citizens of Mobile are making an effort to familiarize the voters of the state with the provisions of one of the proposed constitutional amendments which will be submitted at the general cleo tion next month. This particular amend ment relates only to Mobile county and was evidently submitted by the legislature as a result of activity in it's behalf on the part, of a good number, at least, of citizens of that county. The amendment has to do with the levy of a school tax in Mobile county only and, inasmich as all sentiment in that ccuns ty appears to be favorable to the proposal, 1t seems that the voters in other counties of the state should be entirely willing to assist their Mobile neighbors in getting what they want.-- <.

The federal figures tend to show that more than twice as much liquor was secretly sent in from Canada last year as the year before Perhaps, though, our agents are just a little more alert in checking it up than previously. It would be difficult to give accurate figures on those shipments the agents do not find out about. A better way to state it is that the agents have detected twice as much liquor as before. That may mean that the agents are twice as effective.

Martyrs Wanted


 The bolshevists are revising their religious views. Not, that they have given up, belief in the Marxian- statement that religion is the opium of the people, but they begin to see that the more they agitate against re- ligion, the more the peasants run to the churches. No cause prospers better than when it has a few martyrs. 1.-The blood of the martyrs is the seend of the church," said the fathers of old. And with political creeds the same thesis applies. The bolsheyists know that at no time did the underground revolutionary movement in Russia attract more followers than when the czar had his bloodhounds on its trail. That's why the movement is not flourishing enough in Amer ica. Said George Zinovieff, chairman of the worlds red movement, to the American com munist delegates at the Moscow congress "In the United States you haven't enough martyrs. You must take part in strikes, bore from within, lead industrial dissatisfaction and exploit it. One red in jail is worth more than tons of propaganda. But the thing that helps the cause are exposes of our move ment by capitalist writers. They at least tell about our aims, though often distorting the facts. But the discriminating reader can read between the lines and in that way we get some valuable advertising that we could not buy under ordinary circumstances with treasures or money"

SOME MIX-U IN
ALAMO HOTEL CASE

Some time since County Attorney
w. S. Snow commenced abatement
proceedings against the Alamo hotel
in Greybull charging violations of
the liquor laws and Judge Metz is
sued temporary injunction pending a
hearing. Last Saturday a hearing
on motion to dismiss was held in
Cody, w. c. Snow appearing for this
county and E. E. Enterline and F. A.
Little for the Alamo proprietors. 1t
seems that there is a great difference
of opinion among the legal lights rel
alive to the matter of abatement pro-
ceedings and the last Legislature
passed two laws that conflict, one
with the another, or one repeats the
other. Chapter 81 of the session
laws of 1921 provides for abatement
proceedings and Chapter III does the
same, it seems from the record that
Governor Ross signed 78 three days
prior to lit. Z. E. Enterline con-
tends that by signing III three days
later the other law was automatically
repealed and that County Attorney
Snow brought his proceedings under
81 and in the present Ease is out of.
court. The Judge gave Attorney
Snow until this morning to file a brief
showing authorities and will no doubt
decide the matter some time today.
p. A. Tucker recently arrested on a
bench warrant for contempt as hav-
ing violated the temporary Injunction
was in Jail last night and it is under
stood that the attorneys will attempt
to get his release on technicality of
the whole proceeding being Illegal.
Anyway it is a very mixed up affair
and it seems the governor by signing
both measures has created a situation
unparalleled in this state at least
Basin Republican.

it seems that there is mighty little
money in the Home tax fund; that
lately a punch card system has been
resorted to in order to raise some
money to assist to support the seven

hundred and fifty dollars which they
claim was donated by him to the
Prince Hall and Order Of Eastern

it has been repeatedly stated by those
who claim that they are in position
to know that that three hundred and
fifty dollars has never reached the
treasury Of the Prince Hall and Order
Of Eastern Star Home; that some way
or other it got stuck fast or tight to
someone's fingers and that they are
unable to get rid of it in any manner

sitting away up in the top Of the tree

them to lift it into their own pockets
