for the adverse report are, first, that the

stitution has not been in force long enough
to develop all its defects, and until that is

DR.. Yandell, Of tho San Angelo En-

estate Pross," OF the Galveston
News, and himself, reads us a lecture
about "fanaticism. These worthy
gentlemen ,oiH have it that any man
who is prohibitionist in earnest is
necessarily 'fanatic." What does
that argue on their side but "fanati'
cism"? Now for our part we had
rather DO fanatic on the side of IN
questionably the best interests OF So
ciety than on that of the great source
of crime and outrage in the land
We repeat, it is psychological prob
lem how gentlemen of their intelli'
gence and standing should be so
warped and intolerant in favor OF a
very bad cause.
As to tho ad homiaem retort of the
Floresvillo Chronicle to estate Press,
that the rum curse had come home
to his household, we know nothing;
but if true it certainly adds greatly
to the psychological mystery OF his
bitter opposition to prohibition and
unfair treatment of its advocates.

We clip tho following impressive
passage from an editorial in last
weeks Galveston Christian Advocate:
A young man, gradually led into
crime by drink, came atlength to the
gallows. His mother is said to have
gone to his prison cell to bid him
farewell. When asked by the broken
hearted woman if ne had any word
he would like to leave them, the
doomed boy said: 80, mother, I
didn't want to kill him; I was crazed
with drink. 1t was the saloon did
it. o, mother, tell the temperance
people to be in a burry!" Only last
week we read of another, who, toe
intoxicated to be sure of his footing,
attempted to leap from train before
it had fully halted at the station and
was fatally crushed by the wheels
When he was told that he must die
he Missed through his shut teeth:
"Damn the whisky" In dark alleys,
in squalid garrets, in poverty stricken
homes, in jails, in penitentiaries and
in hell. that cry is going up, damn
tho whisky" Keep cool? How can
we? Nay, nay, rather "tell the tenn
