EDITOR DEMoCRAT--"1ou can
lead a horse to water but you can
not make him drink" This is
an axiom as old as the hills, but
there is another side to this drink
question and although it may not
be a live full grown axiom, /
think it gets there just the same,
as follows:
Whenever you undertake to
prevent a horse or any other ami
NAL, including man, from drink
ing you are up against a hard
proposition, which is apt to result
in disaster to the drinker as well
as to the ones who try to prevent
it.
This is forcibly brought to my
mind by an incident ! Witnessed
several years ago,and fully Illus
trates the point at issue. Al
that time il was Q common thing
to see OK teams, three or four
yoke, hitched to . big wagon
heavilyloaded and although slow,
they were sure. One hot day in
July overlook such a team
there were four yoke OF oxen
hitched to a big long coupled
wagon, loaded with hay, about Q
ton / should say, and just as
game up the driven was yelling
1t the top Of his voice. an6
whaoking the cattle over th'
head to try to keep them from
turning aside to drink at |
smooth level place where Il wa
customary to let the teams stol
Tor that purpose just as ] wa
passing | said, "you ought to le
your cattle stop and drink, ! as
saw they were really suffering

LOCAL OPTION.
He's Fer It.

EDITOR DEmocRAT-The hard
est voter to convince that local
option would be good thing for
Texas County was an exceeding
ly poor woodchopper with a wife
and several little children living
in wretched poverty whom met
in my campaign for local option
in Texas County, To my argue
ments and appeals, he would re-
ply ''local option will ruin Texas
County. 1t will take out of
the county all the 'fedity, camfer
and auiny' and how in the world
could we do without 'fedity';why
nv old woman might get sick
and die if | couldn't get 'fedity." "
| laughed, / cried, l pittied, l
plead, l explained. | left him
pleading for "fedity." In his
estimation l never answered the
''fedity" arguement. He insist
ed that they { suppose the whis-
key crowd) told him that local
option would take the fedity out
of the county. And that fellow
voted for saloons too. He SEEM
ed to be honest in his convict
ions. If this is why you are
against local option, let me as
sure you that local option will not
take the fedlty, camfer and quiny
out of your county. Local option
law prohibits the sale or giving
away of any kind of intoxicating
LIQUORS, or beverage containing
alcohol. To be convicted OF vio'
lating the law means penaHty
of not less than $4,000 nor more
than 100000 or by imprison-
mept in the county Jail not less
than six months. Wine for sa-
crimental purposes and alcoho
for medical purpose are exempt
50 A doctor who writes a prescrip'
ton for whiskey when he know
the applicant will use it as a bev
erage, or is getting it for anothe
and not for medicine, is liable t.
the same penalty as the bootleg
ger or druggist who violates tn
law. In the last twelve month
several doctors have had to pa,
penalties from $1,000, 90 to $1,000,
90 and their State Medical Asso
Citations revoked their license.

all IL he took the motion.
saw it was no use to argue with
him, so rode on.
Now those who have seen OK
teams know that the harness is
not very elaborate or expensive,
only a yoke, and bows to fit the
necks and a strong chain, no
lines or brides, and all that Is
considered necessary is a long |
whip and o driver with a big |
voice. Of course they should be
we'll trained, especially the lead
ers.
After passing this regular wat
ering place the road gradually |
raised above the level OF the
creek, but run close beside it,
till there was an abrupt bank
about 6 feet high on the right.
A sort of a by-road crossed the
main road here and the bank of
the creek was gradual down, but
only wide enough for a wagon
crossing at right angles to drive
After passing it a little ways
l heard a great yelling and then
racket, l realized at once
that something had happened
and turned back, and took in
at once what had occurred. 1t
seemed the driver was not notic-
ing his team very closely or was
utterable unable to control them,
for when the leaders came to the
place where the bank was graded
down, they saw the wster and de-
tsrmined to have a drink no mat
ter what the cost, the second
yoke followed and then the third,
and they swerving around so
sharply that the Others on the
tongue could not follow in the
narrow cut and were forced over
the bank, with the wagon rurned
over on top Of them. The off OK
was killed outright another nearly
80. The wagon was badly brok-
en- up and the hay dumped into
the water, and was a total loss.

Those on the opposite side will
