The Road Will Be Built

The Democrat finds good deal OF
pleasure in being able TO say to its
readers today that there will not be
any cessation of work on the A. N. &
s. railway, and that it is hoped and
expected that the road will be COM
pleted on schedule time.
The executi i've committee OF the board
OF directors met yesterday and arrang-
ed plans for continuance of the work
as originally outlined. The rails to
lay the first fifteen miles of road have
been bought and paid for with the
money raised by the sale of the bonds
of the road, and enough money will be
Forthcoming to take care of the bal
ance OF the amount needed.
The devotion of these men to the
business OF the road In the face of
seemingly nsurmountable obstacles
az this time is indicative OF the stuff of
which they are made. With their own
personal affairs demanding time and
close attention, they yet found time
and methods to prevent a stoppage of
the work and to insure the fruition of
all the original plans. A locomotive
has been purchased; an engineer and
fireman hired; bridge building and
track laying goes merrily on. One
town site will be located between At
lantic and Elkhorn. --Atlsntic Demo

PROGRESS OF PROPOSITION

The most noticeable thing about the
recent election in the different states
is the great gains made for prohibi.
ton of the liquor traffic. While five
thousand citizens of Davenport are
parading the streets of that city, maxi
ing public demonstration against
the closing of the saloons on Sunday
the people of many states are gaining
great victories for temperance. Under
the local option law passed by the
Legislature over in Illinois, last win,
ter, after battle of many years, the
granting of license was defeated in
one hundred and thirtv-one districts
out of one hundred and thirty-seven
In which vote was taken. This action
adds sixteen dry counties " in that
state. The prohibitionists carried Del
aware by clear ma jority, and makes
two counties of its three, "dry coun-
ties" The democrats in the south
have been making some vigorous and
successful campaigns for prohibition.
Georgia led off and adopted statewide
law to prohibit the sale of liquors.
Oklahoma recently voted it into the
constitution. Florida has thirty "dry
counties out of forty-six, and the
governor is leading a campaign for
entire prohibition. Kentucky has one
hundred and ten counties, and ninety
seven are dry. Seven-eighths of Lousi-
ana is dry. In Arkansas, sixty out of
seventy eight; and in Mississippi, sixty
eight of seventy five counties have vot-
ed out the saloons. In Texas two
thirds of the counties are dry under
local option, Only three towns in
Tennessee have saloons. The work is
well under way in Alabama and the
Carolinas also. Temperance senti-
ment has has had remarkable growth
the last few years and especially so
among corporations who employ large
numbers of men. The time is rapidly
approaching when the use of liquor as
a beveragewill absolutely debar man
from securing or holding any place of
responsibility. Thousands of men who
have seen and felt the evil of using
liquor themselves are voting against
its extension and in favor of the pro-
hibition of its sale.
