beer?
rs it not also true Mr.. Braun, that
these saloons became some Of the
worst in Guthrie and in other towns
where gambling and general immoral
tiles made them a terror in the eyes
Of law-abiding citizens?
rs it not true that you fought pro-
hibition from the beginning to the pre-
sent moment?
rs it not true that during your whole
life you have uttered not word nor
performed an act tending to build up
the morals or prevent the bad effect
of drunkenness, open saloons, and gem
eral drunken reyelry except when you
found your selfish business interests
being endangered by a campaign for
morality and sobriety? Did you ever
propose a plan for morality except to
Offset a fight for prohibition.
"AIr. Braun, point out to US the
street in Guthrie that is ragged with
empty buildings, and what class Of
business is sufereing in Guthrie be-
cause OF prohibition?
IF you did not mean Guthrie, then
what town in the state did you mean
that prohibition had ruined its busi-
ness or deprecated the value of it's
property?
rs it not true Mr.. Braun that the
wives and children of Guthrie, where
you reside, are today living with a
degree Of happiness and comfort not
known in your days Of open saloons
"Mr. Braun, you say you despise
drunkards. Is it not true that you
have helped to make thousands ol
I them in every community in this state
where your business interests have
been located?
'And, again, Mr.. Braun, point us t

whom you have ever aided to turl

order and starvation Of his wife an,
children to the path of morality an,

Toms obituary had been written

were about to get an order from the
court admitting him to the democrat

morning. Marshal Victor said he had
been under the impression that two
deputies were to be appointed for
Chickasha and when he learned that
there was but one he decided to give
it to Burk.

Instead of being referred to Cardinal
Merry Del Val, the Pope's secretary

country and must be sent to Rome for
settlement Will be referred 10 various

for disposition.
This plan was suggested many years
ago. and met with so much opposition
from The United States that it was
abandoned. The report lacks contirma-
ton in Washington, as priests IN au-
thority have heard nothing except

Under the proposed arrangement the
disposition or certain matters which

as an appeal Of any sort would be sent
