THE SCHEME
WILL FAIL.
Saloon Advocates Seek Dem
ocratic Support by Appeals
10 Party Loyalty.

Certain men in this county having
purely selfish interest in the per-
| petuation of the saloon are making
appeals to the democrats to vote
wet" on the ground that the "dry"
people are all prohibitionists-mean
ing that they are members of a sepa-
rate, or third party organization
known as the prohibition party.
These men are telling democrats that
they should not desert their party to
vote with the prohibitionists.
Such deep concern on the part of
the saloon advocates for the welfare
of the democratic party is truly
pathetic.
1t must have been this same solici-
tude for the democratic party which
moved them to pay the poll taxes of
several hundred Palatka negroes and
organize them.into q bunch of "wet'
adherants.
1t is only when you reflect that in
paying these hundreds of negro poll
taxes the saloon men have jeopardiz-
ed democratic success in this city
and county in next years elections,
that true estimate of their deep
concern for democratic loyalty can
be arrived at.
Bah! Did you ever know o liquor
dealer to place party loyalty above
selfish interests? This argument is
arrant rot.
The local option liquor law of Flor
ida was made a part of the state con-
stitution by the votes of white dem
Ocrats.
The law was submitted by the
democratic constitutional conVen-
tion of 1885.
1t is known as article XIX of the
state constitution. 1t was submitted
to the people separately, but at the
same time as the present constitution
of which it is a part.
The constitution was adopted by a
majority vote of the white democrats
of Florida. The majority for the
constitution was about 1000
The majority for article XIX
was about 10000.
The local option law of Florida is q
democratic party measure. 1t gives
to the people of the different counties
of the state the right to settle the
question for themselves as to wheth-
er liquor shall be, or shall not be
sold in their respective counties.
While the law is democratic
measure, the election is purely nom
partizan-as much so as would be
an election on the question of issuing
bonds.
The white democrat who votes
"dry" or ''wet" will be exercising
only party privilege.
However, if he votes dry" he may
be sure that his ticket bears one
"sure enough" democratic trade
mark in that he is in the company
of those who would scorn to win by
the payment of the poll taxes of
hundreds of dissolute negroes who
will turn and rend the democratic
party next year by reason of becom-
ing thus qualified.

He Cheerful Liar.

The Lake City Index of the 18th
inst. bears down pretty hard on Mr..
LeHardy, the Palatka man employ
ed by the liquor interests of this city
to ''gather favorable statistics for
the wet side. The Index, under the
caption of "a Cheerful LIAR" has
the following editorial:
Away back yonder in the olden
time, twelve men were sent out into
the land of Canaan to see what the
products of the country were, and
whether or not it was worth the
effort of the children of Israel to
raise little rumpus to secure it,
Two who returned gave fair real
estate agents opinion of what they
saw-just as the folks of nearby
town fixed spring of ice-cold water
for visitors when they had the loca-
tion of a school on the string.
This preface leads up to the fact
that a communication appeared in
last weeks Palatka Times-Herald
telling of man from that burg who
came up to 'view the promised land. ="
He gives lot of statistics to show
that Lake City is in a bad way.
They say Figures don't lie" Well,
maybe they don't. But the fellows
that use them sometimes would be
given the "Chief Liars Degree" in
club of those delectable individ-
uals if they should make application.
The Times-Herald letter-writer
says there are 20 stores and 200 resi-
dences vacant here. The Index
knows of two stores and possibly a
half-dozen houses vacant; these lat
ter will be filled as soon as people
return home from their summer out
ings, and all are spoken for.
"All business Is at stand-still,
says this calamity bowler. And yet
companies aggregating nearly half a
million dollars have been incorporat-
ed here within the last two years.
He says the bank deposits have in
creased about per cent, while we
all know that the capital stock OF
these institutions have been increas-
ed $3.50, 900, or about 150 per cent, tC
get that 8 per cent he speaks of
Comment unnecessary.
He says our population at.liquor
selling times was about 5000, and is
now $500. It's dollars to dough-
nuts" that we increase at least 81
per cent with the present census.
But why enumerate? 1t is sait
''the Lord loves a cheerful liar" L
true, he can be found in the nearby
city of Palatka.
The editor of the Index is not ;
drinking man. He believes in higl
license. But that is his opinion, anC
u majority sided against him.
In these wet-and-dry campaigns
let's tell the truth. In our opinion
the open saloon is better than th,
blind tiger; but 'no saloon or tiger
is betterthan either, and surely LAX
City is not in the condition pictured
by the twin brother of Annanias VIII

People cannot but appreciate the
interest exhibited in their cases by
DR.. Armostrong. His special return
trips to the cities recently visited
demonstrates this. Those trips are
made mainly for purpose of making
re-examination of cases in which on
the first visit it was impossible, from
the nature of the case, to give the
proper correction in glasses or to en-
tirely overcome the trouble existing.
The Doctor who was here recently
will be here on return trip Sept. "a
