The debate at the Grand Prairie

The debate at the Grand Prairie
Literary and Alliance meeting recent
iy on the question of prohibiting by
law the use of liquor and tobacco
must have created considerable inter-
est. judging by what We hear. Judge
Freeman presented fearful array of
figures showing the terrible expense
Of liquor and tobacco, while Bruen
relied upon the bible in pleading for
the use of wine. The decision of the
judges was in favor Bruen's side of
the debate. Elsewhere We give some
of Johns figures, but have not heard
just what arguments Mr. Bruen made.
These coatests of mental gladiators in
the arena of conflicting views upon
exciting political and social topics
have . tendency to tougher the men
ial muscle of the combatants, and to
Whet the swords Of their spirits.
