INTOLERANCE AT DALLAS.


Turning out the lights on a prohibition
orator and refusing him admtttance 70 the
opera house after It had been engaged viii
help rather than hinder the cause Of pro-
hibltlon
This is what happened TO Sam Jones at
Dallas He was delivering a lecture in
Turner hall and when he began speaking
for prohibition the lights were shut OF and
he was compelled to proceed in the dark.
ness He had engaged the opera house for
another address Sunday night but on ar
rival the doors were closed and the orator
was forced 70 speak from q carriage in the
streets In the FIRST instance 1t Is claimed
that Mr. Jones was booked TO deliver a lee
ture and not prohibition campaign speech
In the second instance the excuse is offered
that he had proposed 70 deliver a sermon
and ne was refused admission in antlcipa-
tton that he would make a political speech.
All Of which Is puerile.
There IS a prohibition campaign IN Dali
las, and It was stupid 10 imagine that Sam
Jones would let the occasion pass without
speaking his mind. Besides It is notorious
fact that the pending prohibition election
was sprung ny dILllNe AT Il l4lllS NAA'A NV
prohibition leaders are not prepared 70
make the best showing, and they arc now
counselling their followers to ignore 1t. II
appears, therefore, that the anti-prohibition
lists themselves have been engaging in sharT
practice and they have no right to com
plain IL the prohibitionsts resort to STRAIT
egy.
However that may be, this IS country
of free thought and free speech. The prohi
bitionists have a right TO be heard in publ,
halls and gathering places that are let e
any other class Of citizens for any Legitimate
purpose.
And the denial Of public halls is vain
The prohibitionsts can take to the street
as they did Sunday night, where they car
speak to their hearts content under tn
guarantees Of the laws OF the country.
Moreover. the attempt at suppression I
sure to help the cause. The spirit Of tai
play Is so strong in the American peopl
that they may be depended upon to punis
the offense. We are intolerant of nothln
but intolerance 1t is safe to say that If tn
prohibitionsts were really trying to carr
this election the incident would win ther
many votes.
Prohibition itself is kind OF intolerance
It is an incorporate method of temperance
But it has the full privilege of propagand
and peaceful argument, and however II
tolerant It's advocates may become II Is n
proper answer to meet them with intole
ance.
1t may be safely assumed that the Da
las acts were the acts OF n few indiscref
individuals, but the community should spea
out its disapproval In no uncertain maj
ner, or It will suffer the reproach whic
justly attaches TO any people who perm
