There are several features about
Mrs. Kroledge's case, according to Pet

John Kroledge, from whom she is try

1t one of the most interesting ever
called to public attention.
Mrs. Kroledge seemed to have a
mysterious influence over her working
men and in two cases succeeded in per-
suading them to work for her for
nothing for months at time and final

ing Town Tonight.

Nels jacobson and William H. Klive.
speak at Lake station tonight. There
will be a rousing meeting there in the
school house and as both Kliver and
Jacobson are known TO be great cam
paigners the meeting should draw a
good crowd.
This is one of the many political
meetings which are being held over the
county that are productive of good re-
suits. The speakers find that the peo-
pie in the rural districts have made up
their minds and that Taft and the
whole county ticket will receive the
support of a great majority of the peo-
pie in these smaller country towns.
Republicanism appeals to these peo-
pie and they have a rare discrimination
which makes demagogic appeals OF
the members of the other party seem
hollow in comparison.

BOARD MEETS TODAY
Public Works Officials Nav
Build Robertsdale Fire
Station This Year.

The board of public works this
morning adopted the primary assess
ment role for the west side Oak street
sidewalks and the May street three
quarter-inch water pipe.
The city clerk was instructed to no.
tify the Postal Telegraph company to
repair the opening that it had made
at the opening of the North Holman
street sewer into the river.
The board is at this time consider
ing the advisability of building the
Robertsdale addition to the fire depart
ment for this year. 1t is thought that
in order to provide for a good build
ing it might be better to lay the build
ing of the same over until next spring.
No definite conclusion has, however
been reached yet.

HEAR CANNED SPEECHES
Democrats Meet at Club
rooms and Are Nicely
Entertained.

Patrons Of the democratic club rooms
may now hear the suave and inquiring
voice of William J. Bryan. Phono-
graphic records produce the essence of
his speeches on guaranteed banks, the
tariff. the publication OF campaign
funds. the labor question and so. forth.
Tn phonograph was first put into
operation last night and Bryan certain
ly had an interesting audience. His
voice sounds natural and his speeches
which are short and concise are pleas
ing. They will undoubtedly prove to be
quite an attraction at the club rooms
for the balance of the campaign.

THE SOUTH AND THE PARTY

The people Of the South in those states and
communities where Prohibition has recently
been adopted, ought to carefully study
the experience Of those northern states where
Prohibition has been in force for many years
and has, far too much of the time, failed
of enforcement
In every state where Prohibition has been
enacted, whether by constitutional provision
or by statute, it's results have been beneficial
and for season have given ground for con-
graduation along the very lines that are to-
day so noticeable in the operation of the
law in Georgia and Alabama and Oklahoma
but in every northern Prohibition state the
time has come, sooner or later, when the poll
ticians of the dominant party have found it
to their advantage to cause the law to be
nullified and in many of the states, repealed
Prohibition has been repealed in Massachu-
sets, in Connecticut, in Rhode Island, in
New Hampshire, in Vermont and in Mich
igan, simply because it was a success, pre-
venting the traffic in liquor, protecting the
people from the res It's of the liquor traffic.
and the would-be traffickers were able to con-
troll the political machinery of one or both
OF the old parties. In Iowa the law has
been enthusiastically nullifed by the enact
ment of the ssmulct'' statute, while in Maine

MEET THE EMERGENCY

MEET The EMERCEN
1t is evident that we are confronting Just
now desperate grand rally of the liquor
interests. Readers of The National Prohibi-
ZIONIST are familiar with the story of the
huge, full-page advertisement with which the
brewers have sought to deceive the American
people through the columns of almost all of
the leading daily papers of the United States
This is but one of many. A big, three-col-
umn advertisement of a similar character is
being sent to this office from scores of points,
while in other places, thus far confined, so
far as we have found traces of it, to Illinois
towns, another full page advertisement,
mendacious and disappearing in character
and signed by "The Local Brewery Work.
ers," is appearing. On another page of this
paper there appears review of liquor
document, which in the form Of circular
and slightly altered in the form of huge
poster, is being mailed apparently by the
hundreds of thousands into all the corners
of the country.
The National Prohibitionist also has def
mite knowledge that still another document,
prepared to cover full page of a daily pa
per and making vicious and untruthful at
tack upon Prohibition, is being sent out un-
der the pledge of confidence by the Whisky
Trust from it's headquarters on William
street in New York city and is to be Gre
leased for publication" on the evening of
February s and is expected to appear in hun
dreds of evening papers on that date and in
hundreds more of the Sunday morning pa
pers throughout the country.
All this means that the liquor interests,
thoroughly alarmed, have taken leaf out of
the notebook by which Prohibitionists have
been protesting to operate for years past and
are setting about it to 'sow the country
knee-deep" with their literature. Through
the daily press and the weekly press, by cir
cular and by poster, the brewer and the dis
tiller will reach almost every home of the

January 80, 1908
there shall be some men who, with reliable
Prohibition paper in their hands, can rise
and point out the falsehoods and tell why
they are known to be falsehoods.
1t will not do to delay in this work.
1t must be done promptly.
Already the liquor dealer has too much ad-
vantage of us in his possession Of the old
party press and we cannot allow his circulars
and posters to 60 for weeks or months I'M
answered. We must reach the public eye
and catch the public ear-AND WE MUST DO
1T AT ONCE.
This need arises with special urgency at
the very moment when plan we'll suited to
meet it is suggested. The proposition made
upon one of the pages of this paper to cele-
brate the ninety-ninth anniversary of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln with tremendous
movement for the wider spread of informa-
ton through Prohibition literature, meets
the necessity of this hour as nothing else in
sight meets it.
Every man and woman who reads these
lines, every Prohibitionist who loves his ma
tive land and cares for it's future, and who
recognizes the curse and menace of the sa-
loon, ought to arise to do his or her part in
this emergency.
Not few thousand, but many thousand
new subscribers to The National Prohibi-
tiomast ought to be the answer of the Prohi-
bitionists of the nation to this new outburst
of mercenary mendacity.
Give this paper even one hundred thou
sand more subscribers, scattered all over these
states of the Union, so that there shall be
sure to be some in every neighborhood who
read the truth, and we will track down to it's
lair every last lie of the liquor interests and
throttle it to DEATH

country practically every man and woman
who can read, within the next two or three
weeks, making specious and persuasive mis-
representation of fact, appealing to cupidity
and ignorance and pre- JUDGE in behalf of
their nefarious business and against the Pro-
hibition movement that threatens it.
The scheme is unparalleled in the history
of the fight against the traffic and is almost
admirable in its scope and magnitude and the
energy and audacity with which it is being
carried out
The question naturally arises, How are we
to meet this situation?
Meet it we must-but how?
Manifestly we cannot obtain in the COL
umns of the daily and weekly papers which
lend or sell themselves to the misrepresenta-
lions, any hearing which would be at all
commensurate with the need of refuting the
liquor dealers falsehoods Here and there
will be found paper "fair" enough to give
a more or less obscure corner to the letter
of some Prohibitionist, pointing out the error
of the liquor advertising which it has dis
played in prominent position, or the made-to-
order editorial which it has published at
so much per line Poor as is this opportu-
nifty, it ought to be taken advantage of, and
some Prohibitionist ought to challenge in the
columns of every paper where the slightest
hearing can be obtained, the misrepresenta-
tions that are being spread abroad against
our cause
But this will be wholly inadequate.
Nor can we hope to circularize the country
or to use posters in sufficient numbers to
counteract the mischief that is being DONE
We have not the sources of revenue that are
at the disposal of the liquor interests A
million dollars, or even ten million dollars,
these men are willing enough to spend to
protect themselves in their monopoly of rob-
bing the public by means of alcoholic poisons
There is practically only one thing left for
US to do.
That is to meet this movement with ire
mendous advance in the circulation of Pro-
hibition papers.
This is feasible where other lines of work
are not feasible from the fact that we secure
from the people whom we reach with the
truth, the money which it costs to reach
them. 1t is valuable beyond the circular and

from the people whom we reach with the

beyond the poster, because the man who be-
comes a regular reader Of strong Prohibi-
ton paper, in the majority of cases, himself
becomes center of information from which
intelligence upon the subject goes out to his
neighbors.
If we can succeed in placing even "fair
sprinkling" of Prohibition papers in every
community in the nation, the poison of the
liquor dealers falsehood will be largely coun-
teracted. This at least we must do: We
must make it sure that in every community
where the liquor dealer secures the posting
of one of his mendacious posters, or where
the mails carry mass of falsehood in the
form of circulars every such community
