The Democratic party in Alabama has held many primaries before the primary law was passed, entirely under rules and regu- lations of the committee, and no Democrat ever thought of making any charge for hold ing such elections. Many there are, who cas- be found, who will be willing and glad to serve the party in that way now, and there is no trouble about holding the election on that score.-Montgomery Times.

POSSIBLE REVIEWS


 "The Silver Shaker" Silas Scofflaw's new drama, opened at the A La Carte playhouse last evening. The outstanding feature of the evening was the gumbO with croutons, al- though weaker than the authorship seemed to promise. After a slow opening, interest Jagged until the appearance of the Kennebec salmon which was enthusiastically received. The meat course was not so good and showed lacked craftsmanship. The less said about the dessert the better.
 Tt seemed pity that an offering of which such favorable advance notices had been re- ceived should fail so completely to satisfy the inner man.
 "In it's present shape there is little pros. pect of a, long run. Still, with. little re. hashIng, much may be accomplished.
 There was one very disturbing factor in last nights performance. This was the dis. turbing chatter of the actors and actresses which interferred seriously with the chatter Of plates, cups and saucers. There were times when, due to the determination of the performers to speak their lines, one could hardly hear himself eating
 Birmingham Man And Oil Scandal. To "Dumm and Dummer:'

I have car and one day in January this year ordered ten gallons of Teapot Dome" oil or gas and gave the man at the filling station at 10 hin and he only took out enough to pay for nine and one-half gallons of gas. I did not say anything to the man, but my conscience has hurt me ever since, and when I saw in The Age Herald that you were after eyerybody that had anything to do with oil, concluded to 10 come clean on this.

Its early completion will give us an object lesson in our own county of what can be done by he,uy and whole. hearted community cooperation in the way now this county should be rnvolutionized in the matter of her school fat lities.

workmen to state of peonage.

Unification

The question of unity be-
tween the Methodist churches of
the United States. particularly
the Northern and Southern
churches, is being discussed by
many editors.
The editor of the Commerce
News recently commented as
follows:
Some of these Southern Meth
odists fear equality with the ne
gro if a union between the two
branches of Methodism is permit
ted. Wonder what these people
will do when they get to Heaven
and find some negroes there
VIII they demand of ST Peer
that the negro be pushed off IN
to corner to themselves? And
will the same demapd he made
of other nauonalitiea who are m
feror to the negro? What is the
bays Of our prejudice against
the negro, anyhow? As a race,
they are inferior, but by reason
Of that fact, they are entitled
all the more to consideration. 1t
is the man, the nation or the
tribe that is down that most needs
help and sympathy.
The question has already been
before the General Conference
and the plan of unification
adopted with but few dissenting
votes. 1t comes up in 1925 be-
fore each Of the several state
conferences Of the Methodist
Church, South.
The opposition, seemingly
now only slight, hinges on the
negro question and sectional
prejudices still existing in the
hearts of few.

Female Bootleggers

Among the most successful
bootleggers are women. 1t is
easier for them to operate than
men. They are not SO easily
spotted or suspected.
Mrs. Elizabeth T. Stanley,
president Of the Indiana w. c.
I. y before the conference of
the World League Against Al
coholism, declared
"some of the neanest bootleg
lgers in America are women.
"They are too smart for the
male enforcement officers" she
said. "You need a woman Off
Ger to catch woman bootleg
ger.
Making heroes of bootleg
gers was another evil Mrs.
Stanley condemned. "There is
too much sympathy wasted on
them. We must rid ourselves of
maudlin sentimentality."
Rich women are stun. bling
block to law enforcement.
Mrs. Stanley urged that the
federal government appoint wo-
men prohibition agents to catch
female bootleggers.
Shortly after the World War
it was generally gossiped about
Atlanta that former Atlanta
society girl was making thous-
ands in her bootlegging enter
prise, associated with her hus-
band. One of her erstwhile
friends said she could drive her
high-powered car from Atlanta
to Savannah and return three
times a week without fear of mo-
lestation; no one would think of
stopping her as she sped across
the state. She was heavily arm
ed and undoubtedly would have
shot any man who attempted to
stop her
But that was six years ago.
The prohibition agents are not
so courteous these days. Now
they shoot--and search later.

PROHIBITION ! ~ : al q

Liquor distilling in Cuba is de-
veloping on such big scale that it
"bids fair to rival the Cuban sugar
industry" says Major Henri Chaus-
sin of the Bacardi Rum Co.
The reason, of course, is the huge
amount of hooch smuggled into the
United States. Prohibition is a 81
gantic economic problem rather
than moral one. 1t was brought
about primarily to make people
work more and squander less. It
has resulted in a huge surplus Of
American grains that formerly were
used to make whisky. Now il
creates alcoholic traffic rivaling the
gigantic sugar industry in Cuba.
