Jurors, and all officers would pass in,

to ring-they said nothing about it.
We have had local option in great
mauy places, and soon the law was
oyer-ridden and the parties who were
so strong in favor of the prohibition of
liquor, who worked with such zeal at
the election, would petition for an cleo
ton and go just as strong in favor OF
having whisky sold openly again.
Thus we see that prohibition does
not prohibit, but teaches the young to
disregard the law. They are governed

course men who are habitual drinkers
will have their dram If they have
to go to the doctor" and complain Of
sickness. The doctor will prescribe

II is strange to me that a
Republican would ask Democratic

he should not ask TO be- retained in

II the race was for general Of a

The Age cannot speak from personal
knowledge, because 1t was never pub.
lished in Il prohibition town. Speak
ing, though, upon information and
belief 1t says that whenever prohibit
ton Is adopted in any town, for every
saloon that is closed an additional
drug store Ia opened. From that the
inference Is fair that prohibition in
creases the demand for medicine, and
as it Ia the sick aud not the well who

inferred that prohibition increases

Right rs To the Lease.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE may oc.
casionally get cross-ways in matters OF
state policy, but in its advocacy of free
grass and its opposition to lease laws
1t Is eminently correct. The settle
ment and Improvement OF country Is
necessarily retarded when II Ia fenced
up into immense pastures for cattle to
grH1a in. 1t Ia better, of course, for
the development OF country that
100000 acres should be divided into
1000 farms and occupied by 1000
families, than II the 100000 acres Is
made into one vast Enclosure and
given up to the exclusive use of 20 ,0OC
need OF cattle. II is true, no doubt
that In the order of creation, cattle
were made before either men or wo
men; but they should not, ON that &C
count, be preferred to men and wo
men in the settlement OF country.
