CONSISTENT TEMPERANCE ADVOCATE
APPEALS FOR STATE PROHIBITION

To the voters of Tennessee and espe
cially to those of Columbia ant
Maury County:
Having about thirty years ago gon'
into the fight for our homes as agains
the saloon, and having all these years
kept lighting and agitating the matter
as best | knew how and having beer
| in a position for about twenty-five
years of this time that gave me more
observation and personal contact with
the evils growing out of the business
perhaps than any other one man in
the town or county, | now feel that
after the long hard fight that we had
to rid our town and county of the aw.
full curse, that | cannot refrain from
making one more earnest honest APP
peal to the voters of our own county
who love their homes, good govern
ment, sobriety and good morals for us
all to put our shoulders to the wheel
as one man in this fight for statewide
prohibition, and fight it to a finish. l
verify believe that with this kind of
united effort that the browning day
of victory is in sight.
o, my countrymen, if you had been
in the hundreds of homes that | have
been and seen the heartbroken moth
ers, wives, sisters and little ragged
hungry children and heard their bitter
woes of anguish as | have hundreds of
times heard them, then | am sure
that this appeal would not be in vain
These are the ones that have always
been the great burden bearers of this
internal business and always will be
because they can't help themselves.
| thank God that during all my Off |
3ial life, that the day or the night was
never too cold or dark when appealed |
o by any one of them, for me to an
'Wer the appeal and do all that
,ould to relieve them of their sorrows
md burdens, and today | had ten |
thousand times rather do something
o rid our State and our entire govern
nent of the whiskey business which
S the greatest and most disgraceful
urse that ever disgraced any civilz-
d country on earth than to have the
laudits and wealth of all the whiskey
len in the government.
O. my friends, let us lay aside all ;

DISAR M A M ENT.
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
We have outgrown the helmet and the cuirass
The spear the arrow and the jaVeln.
These crude inventions of cruder age,
When men killed men to show their love to God,
And he who slaughtered most was greatest king.
We have outgrown the need of war! Should men
Unite in this one thought, all war would end.
Disarm the world; and let all nations meet
Like men, not monsters, when disputes arise
When crossed opinions tangle into snarls,
Let Courts unite them, and not armies cut.
When State discussions breed dissensions, let
Union and Arbitration supersede
The hell-created implements Of War;
Disarm the world and bid destructive thought
Slip like serpent from the mortal mind
Down through the marshes of oblivion; and soon
race of gods shall rise Disarm! Disarm!

Sugar Cane Planting,

The Progressive League has
sent out postals to many plant
ers and farmers in the parish
making inquiries as to whether
they intended planting sugar
cane, in 1909 or 1910. The
League does so with a view of
assisting them to make arrange
ments with railroads and refine
rles for transporting and dispos-
ing of their cane. 1t is also
wanted to know the number of
acres that will be put in, and
whether the. planter is near
enough to haul to either of the
railroads.
This is a very substantial offer
of help the Progressive Leagve
makes, and should be responded
to promptly. All who intend
handling cane, should, whether
they get an inquiry card or not
inform the League if they intend
planting in a quantity sufficient
to ship.
