It is perhaps unnecessary to

Postal Savings Hank Bill.
Washington, Jan. 0. ? The
Democrats,' led by SeuaterCul*;
berson and Bailey, will vigor*
ously oppose legislation on the
postal savings bill, through its
delgute, which is expected to
continue until tho end of the
session. It is said that not a
few Republicans will oppose the
measure, also, 011 the ground
that it is unconstitutional and
.would lend to embarrass the gov
ernment, while also placiug the
congress in a ridiculous light
throughout tho world. The gov
ernment, it is assertod, has no
right to complain of such legis
Union, in as much as it involves
tho collection or borrowing of
money from dim people, which
it would have no right to ap
propriate in any manner other
than tq return ij, to the souroe
from which it came. It is claimed
that this is a form of the bank*
injg business in which the govern*
ment has uo right to embark.
Senator Bailey is preparing a
speech on Uie subject wiiich will
involve a thorough dissection of
every claiin.'-made for the mens

ALABAMA J0WS *Hf$"
Mobile, Ala., Jan. I^Wilb tbe
opening of the aef^reety the
nkwu of AImInmb* irt^lMed.
under ibe ben, and after that
boar U will be againet Ibe la? to '
soli liquor witbln the confines of
the commonwealth. Spe c u 1 a
boo ia rife over tbe State as to
bow tbe liquor men are going to
regard tbe law, but tbe general
opinion ia that they will observe
it to . the letter in moat of the
cities and villages. Soft drink
esiaoiisiimeuis will in most cases
take the plaices of the saloons,
but ii is sdoiiited there will be a
blind tiger or so. Already tbe
liquor interests are preparing to
ooutest the constitutionality or
tbe statute, and the saloons of
this and ' other cities have con
tributed to a fuud to carry the
figbt jlnto' tbe' higher courts of
tWjland, if necessary.
The question in tbe minds of a
great tnSny. people of the State
is liow Alabama is to fare with
the revenue that is derived from
the -liquor traffic cut off. The
citizens of Mobile and Mobile
county, ar% especially interested
in the answer to this problem,
as "at' present *11 the school
.funds for both county and city
come directly from the taxes'
levied upon the sale of iutexi
c mis.
Information from the vurious
chiefs of police and sheriffs
throughout the State are that
tlity are going to enforce Hie
law to the letter. ?
In 1907 the State derived a
reveuue of $223,000 from' the
liquor tratic. This year that
sum wus considerably reduced
when the barrooms in Birmiug
hum and several other places
were closed. The reveuue for
1908, will however, amount to
1/5,000. The loss of this reve
nue is regarded as a serious one
in some quarters and predic
tions are freely made that the
State will suffer for lack of it.
Mobile and Mobile county are
peculiarly affected by the new
law. The schools of bolh city
and county are supported by the
liquor tt*x, every cent of which
goes .o their uaaiutenance. As
the law stands now the schools
of the county get about $80,000
annually from the saloons, and
those of the city about half that
sum. With the dawning of the
new year's sun, a new condition
exists and the schools will have
to discover some other source of
revenue. An appropriation by
the legislature of $50,000 for
schools of the county will, how
ever, soften the effects of the
olow.
It is estimated that about 000
saloons were closed in the citiss
of Mobile, Montgomery, Selmu
and Auniston, the prinoipnl
towns of the State now already
drv when the prohibition law
went into effect. An authority
on the subject has figured that
each place supports aHeast fif
teen )>eople, counting the owners
and the employes and their
families. Accepting these figures
as correct it wHl be seen that
7,500 people . will be directly
ejected* by tiie closing law, to
say tothing of tho man who lias
been accustomed to getting hist
toddy whenever lie desired.
Gov. Ii. B. Comer 19 doing lit
tie talking in regard to what ac.
tion w. II be t&lceii by the State
authorities if tbe saloon interests
jg^utinue to fight the law. This
Awcft is' certain, however, that
lie will ,cuiH a special session of
the Alabama legislature to
strengthen tlio laws.
. ^fjHire 1ms never been any
doubt wlwre I stand on this
question," said the governor,
'\\Jmiou discussing the prospects
fbfalf ex trii session "The State
has passed cortain laws that are
thought to be good and whole
some, and it is mv duty, and will
be carried out, to see that they
are enforced, if, indeed, it be
comes necessary to take any ac
tion at all. 1 have said that
(things seemed to be shaping fur
an extra session."
