PROHIBITION OUTLOOK
"It Has Been Demonstrated That a Dry
Town VIII Not Perish

The Florida Parishes in discussing
the prohibition issue says: UnnlStak-
ably the time is rapidly approaching
when the State Of Louisiana, like many
Of her sister States, will be IN the mi lSt
of very warm prohibition movement,
directed by wise and cautious men, de
termned TO win, and thus forever ban
ish the whskey traffic from the State
Several States have recently engaged III
similar crusades. and success has in
varlably crowned the unselhsh efforts Of
and higher ideals
Recently, several parishes have voted
on the question of licensing the sale Of
Intoxicating liquors, and III each and
every instances the adhcrentS Of the no
saloon side Of the question won a signal
victory Such verdict would have
been impossible two or three years ago.
The prohibition sentiment has been de
velooed and strengthened by the per
siste',t and defiant attitude Of the
saloon. The saloon has arrogatcd to 1t
self privileges and rights which are not
sanctioned by law. It may be possible
that prohibition will not prohibit, but
the saloon has been almost universally
condemned i'll many sections of the
South and we earnestly hope and be
hat t., h,. Il
credited whenever the issue is submitted
to the decision of the people.
Even Kentucky has pronounced in
favor of prohibition. The explanation is
simple. Prohibition and the sentiment
in favor of prohibition have been grow
ing steadily and swiftly for the reason
that the saloon. especially the groggcr
les and dives, are regarded as enemies
of society, the breeders Of crime, which
is being met by grim and determined
effort to crush out these haunts Of
criminals.
1t has been demonstrated that a "dry'
town will not perish, that the saloon is
not essential 10 the success ana prog
ress of any community. Indeed, if meas
ured impartially, its disadvantages
would overshadow its so-caled advan-
tages into insignihcance. The lessons
being taught all over the country should
be accepted with its true significance.
For one thing sure, it means that the
saloon must go, and that whenever it
becomes necessary the elements which
are opposed to drunkenness and de
bauchery will rise up and vote out the
saloon.
As we have remarked. it may be true
that prohibition may not entirely pro.
hibit, but it will have all all-powerful
effect in restraining crime and Cr1n-
inals( and III the maintenance Of peace
and order. The people are supreme, and
they favor every movement that makes
for law and order, morality and higher
ideals. 1t is only a question Of a few
years when prohibition will become
general.

PROHIBITION BOOSTS
Oklahoma City Business Man Refutcs
Another Liquor SANDER.

The Times Journal takes similar
position and recent issue contains the
following pointed comment: ut is well
known that Charles Colcord and Rob
ert Galbraitll bought the lots at the
corner of Grand and Robinson and en-
tered into a contract with Mr. Overhol-
ser to erect magnificent building on
the lots or forfeit $4,000. 1t was re-
ported that the gentlemen, because pro-
hibition had carried, had declared they
would forfeit the $4,000 Mr.. Colcord
told a number of gentlemen that he and
his partner had made no such declara-
ton, but on the contrary, that Mr.. Gal
braith had worked for prohibition, be-
lieving that it would help business. Mr.
Colcord says the great building, costing
nearly 100000, will be begun on
schedule time and pushed to completion
This is significant of tremendous
change which is taking place in regar j
to the liquor traffic over the whole
country. The stand taken by Mr.. Col
cord and his partner, Mr.. Galbrath
is identical with that held by every
property owner in the city

was ineligible, but- he had four sons who
volunteered in the service of the Con
| federaCy.
Here is the record:
AT the time the war broke out DR.
Wilkinson, his aged father and mother
his wife and nine children, his brother,
Col. X. A. Wilkinson, the latter's wife
and six children, the four sisters OF
those two brothers and their nephews
and several neces, all lived on the lower
coast.
Ills eldest son, Joseph Biddle, aged
10 and Col r. A, Wilkinson with his
son Robert aged y years, and their
nephew, Mr.. w. Penrose, were the only
ones of their families then eligible for
the army.
"By agreement the four latter went
into the Confederate army, leaving some
twenty female and minor relatives under
Dir. Wikinson's protection. Two years
later IT, S. Wilkinson, who is now in
St Martin, son of Col r. A. Wilkinson
at u years of age, joined the Washing
ton Artillery in Virginia
Colonel Wilkinson was killed when
his regiment was cut to pieces at the
second battle of Manassas Lieutenant
Penrose was killed in the last battle of
the war. Dr. Wilkinson's son, Joseph
Bddc, fought at Fort Jackson, Fort
Morgan and in other fights Both r.
A. Wilkinson Jr, and H. S. Wilkinson
fought through the war.
1T is remarkable fact that DIR, ]. b.
Wilkinson, his father, Jos. B. Wilkinson
ST., and his son, Jos. B. Wilkinson Jr.,
three generations bearing the same
name, were all imprisoned by the Yam
KEGS in New Orleans after its capture
Young Lieutenant Wilkinson came here
as a prisoner from Fort Morgan. He
cut through a brick wall, escaped, and
rcjoined the Confederate army. His
grandfather died in 1866
If Theodore S. Wilkinson is not the
son he is at least the brother of as gal
LIANT and as true defender of the Con
federacy as ever drew breath or drew
sabre or sword or mlsket or rifle.
Such illusions of discredit to win
favor i'll politics, as have been the means
of Sanders and his followers should
dawn him politically forever
1t is not possible to- measure how lit
tie and how contemplate men may be
come when engaged in political strife;
when their better judgment becomes
clouded and warped and distorted in
their ambition for control and power.
Fortunately the Veterans of a great
Cause will not lend themselves to any
schemes of politicians. and as citizens
they will exercise their prerogatives as
they may elect. Because Sanders is a
son of Confederate Veteran will give
him no advantage over Wilkinson,
brother of Veterans
After all. it is merit, it is character
which should be considered and not the
clap-trap of the politician.

OUIO'S TWO-CENT LAW.

The fight for two-ccnt railroad fares
in Ohio was long, but it won at last
OF course there was no Federal III
junction. That procedure is reserved
for the Southern States. as is evidenced
by the fact that Alabama railroad law.
which the United States court, have
tel up, has been on the statute books
of Indiana for twenty seven years and
the railroads obey it!
In Ohio the Railroad Commission has
reported on all railroad work Of that
State for the year ending with Novem-
Der I, 1907 That on the passenger
traffic is instructive and interesting as
we'll. There were 3,666,2o6 more pas
sengers in that year than in the preccd-
ing year. The average passenger earn
ing per train-mie in 1907 was sos as
against $Io2 in 1906.
As this train-mile earnings is the
true test, it will be seen that the two
cent law, which the railriads SO much
resi- ttej, has put money iii their treas
uric 5.

SANDERS, SON OF A VETERAN. ).
Mr. Sanders being the son of vet
eran who gave up his life i'll the cause
of the South, and Mr.. Wilkinson being
neither a veteran nor the son of vet
eran, it is likely that the surviving mem
bers of the Lost Cause will almost to a
man support Mr.. Sanders.-Richland
Beacor-News.
To be the son of a Confederate Vet
eran; one who was not assigned to duty
in a bomb proof position: or was de
of Yankee bullets; or was not connected
with the ''cooll shop or was not a
buttertnill<" or roasting ear ranger"
but was volunteer in active service, on
the firing line, and with record unblem-
ished, is an honor which may be cher
ishcd with pride.
1t is assumed that the father of J. Y.
Sanders was Confederate soldier, tried
and true, but it is therefore not "likely
that the surviving members of the Lost
Cause will almost to a man support Mr.
Sanders ="
Why?
Because all the surviving members Of
the Lost Cause did not support General
Jastremski when he was candidate for
Governor in opposition to Mr.. Blan-
chard.
Because the Confederate soldiers, as
do the Masons and other fraternal and
benevolent orders, divide politically and
vote for the candidates Of their choice,
irrespective of their social or fraternal
affiliations.
When J. Y. Sanders was candidate
for Lieutenant Governor did he mani
fest any consideration for the gallant
Barksdale, who was then his opponent?
Shall The Caucasian refer to some of
the speeches of would-be Governor San
ders of that campaign, and his illusions
and references to as loyal and as fear
less soldier as ever led brave men to
battle?
1t was J. Y. Sanders who defeated
the grand and the heroic Barksdale,
whose name and fame shall ever be a
glorious link in the chain of patriotic
love of the loyal and the true.
1t was J. Y. Sanders who defeated
Barksdale, defeated him with all the
reckless disregard of an officeholding
and office e-seeking politician.
1t is not questioned that Mr. Sanders
father gave up his life in the cause Of
the South, but this reference at this
time, which has been reiterated and re-
peated by the Sanderstes, is to draw
distinction discreditable to Mr.. Will
kinson. To say the least, such methods
are simply contemplate.
Who is responsible for this reflection
on Mr. Wilkinson, if it be not J. Y.
Sanders?
At the breaking out of the war Theo-
dore S. Wilkinson was 10 years of age,
and therefore he was too young to en-
list in the service of the Confederacy.
How old was J Y Sanders?
If the honored father of noble son,
the late Dr. J. B. Wilkinson, was not a
Confederate soldier, it was because he
