The prohibitionists have been active
since Sunday, when they announced
publicly their intention of canvassing
Shreveport and Caddo parish for the
signatures of citizens who favor prohi-
bition.
In the churches Sunday ministers pre-
sented the question to their congrega-
tons boldly and eloquently.
Committee secured hundreds Of sig
natures from attendants in churches.
The movement is growing with a pop
ularity amazing.
1t was believed that many citizens OF
Shreveport favored prohibition, but the
runber has exceeded every anticipa-
ton.
Ihe antis, having recovered somewhat
from their surprise, are beginning to
gather their senses about them There
will be fight, vigorous and deter
mined fight.
The ants are beginning to prate of the
ruination and the damnation of the
town, of the decrease in the value of
property. of increased taxation. of who
or how the fire department and the po-
lice will be operated without the license
derived from the saloon. If one-tenth
of all the evil which must follow the
closing of the saloon, as predicted by the
saloon interest, Shreveport will be in q
sorry plight.
Indeed, the good people must change
their tune and come forward and say
blessed be the saloons. glory be to whis-
key, great is beer.
Why oppose the saloon and the dog
gerry?
However, from the indications, i
would seem as if the saloon must go.
