What is high license, anyhow, but an
acknowledgement that the saloon traffic
is essentially an evil, and, at the same
time, what is it but a compromise with
that evil for the sake of obtaining taint-
ed revenue which we would otherwise
have to pay as taxes?

immigration is one of the important
questions confronting our people. We
are adding daily to our acreage of cot
ton, sugar and rice fields, and our
tremendous timber and swamp lands,
rapidly being cleared up and reclaimed
by proper drainage, give promise OF
magnificent homes to 8 desirable class
of people. We need industrious and
intelligent farm-owners and plantation
laborers, and must look TO other states
and countries for them. Much can be
done by wise legislation to attract the
people we want; but. in my opinion,
two questions must be solved correctly
before the right people of other climes
will agree TO cast their lots with Us.
