Obedience to the LatD.

Hattiesburg Is dry town. 1t was
dry before the passage of the state
prohibition law, except for short sea-
son, when the law was outlawed and
recreant public officials failed to do
their sworn duty.
The Daily News believes that a ma
iority of the citizens TO Hattiesburg
are opposed to the sale of intoxicat-
ing LIQUORS and the evils invariably
associated Herewith. We know that
a large majority of Hattiesburgans are
in favor of the enforcement of the
law. The open saloon, under proper
restrictions, would be better than the
open blind tiger that hourished in
Hattiesburg few years ago, but the
open saloon is impossible under statu-
tory prohibition.
This talk of an open town" ard a
liberal government" is, therefore,
nothing less than open defiance of law,
And contempt for the law is, an
archy-nothing less!
The thoughtless man, imbued will

JAMES r. JONES, chairman of the
national prohibition committe is de-
veloping quite lead as rainbow chas-
er. Late dispatches read that he has
decided to make a fight in South Da-
kota for the electoral vote for the pro-
hibition candidates. The chairman
says that the committee regards South
Dakota as promising prohibition
field and that it is believed that the
electoral vote of this state can be esecur-
ed for Cain and Watkins. This natur-
ally leads one to inquire what particu.
lar brand of optimatism the prohibit
tion party managers are in the habit
of using.

The candidate who advocates that
platforms bind by what is omitted is
=rtising to the world that he is not
willing to meet the advance of the
times. Reforms that are needed be-
cause of conditions that arise in day,
SO to speak, will all be turned aside
for years, and perhaps ruin follow be-
yond repair. 1t is also bid for sup
port of special interests who are told
thereby all they must do to be licens-
ed to fleece the people is toput a little
money into campaign to secure con
troll of convention and keep out of a
platform any reform that might inter
fere with their nefarious work. Bryan
has thus notified the public that he
cannot be trusted if placed in public
position. He has laid down the most
dangerous doctrine ever advocated in
the history of the country.

Kingsbury County independent. (DeSmet, Kingsbury County, S.D.) 1894-1929, 1908-08-28

A DEMOCRATIC exchange heads an
article with "Reason why Bryan will
be elected" 1t may give the editor of
that paper pleasure to dream of such
result, and can do no harm. But
there is one good reason why Bryan
will not be elected. Bryan has gone
through process of transformation
from an honest reformer Git matters
not that he might have been misguid-
ed) to a scheming and merciless
politician. Many who had an admira-
tion for the peerless one" in former
campaigns have, since the democratic
convention, acquired the feeling of
disappointment in the man as to his
honesty of purpose. Such feeling
will prove fatal to his chances, if he
had any before he showed his steam
roller qualifications as dictator.
Admiration for him as man, and a
belief in his sincerity might have made
him formidable candidate, but that
is all changed now. His acts as a
politician, and his statement that
platforms are binding al to what is
omitted, as well as to what they CON
tain has destroyed all belief in his
sincerity. Of course, he will get the
democratic vote, but he will not get
anything else, and without more he
cannot be elected
