LIVINGSTON, ALABAMA. 00 I than 00 St! Pf 1 If If iM tii 41 fell Hfeljt Kcruiw The report of the committee on Tern perance is as follows: Your Committee on Temperance begs to submit the following report: It is-with profound gratitude that we note the great advance made in the last year by the temperance forces of the world. The reaping from the years of sewing is beginning.

Temperance instruction has been going on fii all the countries of Europe for a number of years until the thought of the people had become saturated with these ideas. So when the crisis of the great war suddenly came upon them, at once they turned to temperance as a means of protection to themselves. The head of the English army advocated abstinence from liquors; the French forbade the sale of absinthe; the great beer drinking country of Germany has forbidden even the drinking of beer by the German soldiers, and Russia has been put upon an absolute prohibition basis. These results are not arbitrary but are simply the reflection of the enlightened thought of the scientific, commercial and relig ious life of the day. The world is moving onward, and we do not expect any large or permanent movement back to the old conditions which have cursed the past.

We rejoice at the progress made in our nation. Fourteen states are under absolute prohibition, and a majority of the people and a tremendously large majority of this nation are under the prohibitory laws. And some of our greatest statesmen openly advocate prohibition. We believe that the sober sentiment of the people of this State was reflected in the vote in the last election for members ev the next legislature to which a majority of prohibitionists were elected. We trust that, this leg islature will not fail to pass a statewide prohibition law, and also instruct the secretary of this conference to present to that body a memorial to that effect.

We also believe that the homes of our people should be protected from the insidious advertisements which appear in our newspapers. If it is wrong to advertise liquors in public places it is worse to allow these advertisements to be constantly sent into the homes of the people, and so we urge the legislature to forbid the advertisement of liquor in our newspapers.

ANOTHER RAILROAD FOR MOBILE. Elsewhere in today's issue appears the announcement of President John T. Cochrane of the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern Railroad, that he has completed arrangements with the Southern Railway Company which assures to Mobile another railroad. Mr. Cochrane enjoys the friendship and co-operation of the people all along his line, who have watched and taken" individual pride in each step that he has accomplished in the development of this railroad.

This is also true of the people of Mobile, 'where he has lived for the last six or seven years, and was especially manifested two years ago when all the commercial inlersests, consisting of several commercial bodies, decided on a consolidation into one big organization and unanimously elected him president of the new consolidated Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, the people of Mobile look on Mr. Cochrane and his road as a home enterprise and are greatly pleased to add this new line to Mobile's other railroads for sentimental reasons as well as the aid it will give in building up the rapidly growing port.
