Temperance i'm Arkansas
Memphis Appeal.

The campaign of the ladies of Ar.
kansas against the liquor business
has been a wonderful success. The
newspapers of that State are gener-
ally proclaiming or acknowledging
one or the other, according as they
boast or grOWl at the Temperance
movement-that" "prohibitiOn does
prohibit" The Mariana Index
says that frowning it down kills
liquor the Washington Press says
the three-mile liquor law appears to
be working well wherever it is in
force; the A. O. q. w. excludes sa-
loon-keeper, owing to the extra risk
in insuring their lives; the Little
Rock Banner mentions that $1,000
has been subscribed to the Temper
ance Banner Company Van Buren,
has taken steps to close its saloons
on Sundays; the Searcy Beacon
eXhortS Van Buren, to close its sa-
looms altogether it says nearly all
the women and nearly all the
christian men favor prohibition.
Carlisle Departure: "There has
not been a single case of open
drunkenness in our streets since
January 1st." Howard County Tele-
phone: prohibition is a success
in Mineral Springs and throughout
the county and State" Hamburg
Times "No liquor is sold in our
town, and there is no drunkenness,
no riots, and no trouble in our
streets no one now doubts that
prohibition is good" Ozark Demo-
crat: 1.-THE better class of our peo-
pie favor prohibition some who
opposed it favor it now that it is in
operation" The Rev. H. L. Greg
cry: prohibition is a success in
Beebe; not case of drunkenness
before the mayor since prohibition"
B. T. JObe: ."At Russell vile pro-
hibitiOn works satisfactory, our best
citizens desire its continuance; l
know no attempt to violate the
law" The Rev. Frank Ritter, Po-
cahontas 81 have seen but two
men intoxicated here since January
1st; if tested again whisky would
not be allowed here" The Rev. f.
7. Jones, county judge of Woodruff:
mot case of broil before the
mayor this year; during the same
time last year twelve or fourteen
cases." The Hon. George Thorn
burg, POWhatan "Prohibition is
d perfect success here; it is also
successful beyond expectation at
Walnut Ridge" MorrilIton Mes
senger: "We have seen no drunk
en- men on our streets since the
prohibition, but have heard of three
cases formerly it was d daily oc-
currence, there were seven saloons
here and much drunkenness, now
all is quiet" The Rev. J. G.
Brown, Augusta Prohibition
grows in favor here the crowds
that formerly, on coming to town,
were drunken and noisy go away
both sober and quiet; member o.
the Methodist church, a physician,
ordered 120 gallons of wines and
brandies, so we apprehend great
deal of sickness in the spring and
summer, but his oath is on file."
BatesVille, Osceola and other places,
the Searcy Banner-a staunch pro-
hibition paper-says, make show
ing equally good, so prohibition
does prohibit, and the determina-
ton of the Arkansas ladies has
proved how true it is that "when
she will she ,cM, you may depend
on it,"
WE know few plain, blunt men.
They deny that the State owes the
debt. They are open, avowed re-
pudiatiOnists. Others equally can
did, say the State owes the entire
debt. We want to secure the best
terms we can from the creditor.
But after negotiation, we will pay
what the creditor demands. These
men are what they are, without
any seeming to be one thing to-day
and another thing tomorrow.
What is needed, is a canvass
which will develop the class who
are neither hot nor cold. There is
no room for negative, wishy-washy
sort of betwixt and betweenness.
We want a canvass without any
alliances, for us or against
us, for State-cIedit or for repudia-
ton, and let men go where they be-
