/ opposition to the prohibition amend
ment Men from prohibition counties
/ who believe In the doctrine admit that
many of their temperance constitu-
! ents, particularly among far.neis, are
figuring out that perhaps 1t Is not
the right idea after ALL" One mem
Der elected on stnaightout prohibi-
ton platform, has received al bale of
letters from back. home suggesting
that maybe good local option bill
would be satisfactory after all
Why this change OF sentiment? Do
the agriculturists believe that IL a
man wants his teddy he should be
given opportunity of legally acquiring
the same? Have they modified their
views. They are still opposed to the
traffic, but facts pertaining to revenue
is the bone of contention The mat
ter of AVIATION pleases them. Informa-
ton has been forced upon them.
among other things they have learned
that the state gathers in annually
100000 from liquor interests and that
prohibition as contemplated in this
state cuts out this entire amount. The
revenues from liquor licenses are two
and one-half times the revenues de-
rived from the direct tax on real and
personal property, and they believe
that to cover this would mean restora-
ton of the direct state tax. The
farmers have been benefited by the
reduction of the state tax from So to
five cents and they don't want to see
it reimposed. OF course, the rate
would not be as high as 80 cents but
it would be higher no doubt than
now. Hence, sentiment is rapidly
developing against prohibition. and
the farmers in many of the dry coua-
ties say that il the wet counties will
cease their Illegal shipments OF booze
and let them be dry as they wish to
be, they are willing to accept a local
option law. The c. o. d. and bootleg
ging business in dry counties is large
iy responsible for the demand for
statewide prohibition and deservedly
SO. If prohibition is beaten, in all
justice, laws should be passed. protect
ing most stringently those counties
which decline to grant license.
Delegate A. D. Williams OF Poca-
hontas county is a staunch prohibit
ZIONIST, running openly ON that plat
form. but he does not share the con-
fidence of his fellows that the amend
ment will carry if. submitted. BY
virtue of several official church posi-
lions Mr.. Williams comes in contact
with many lay members, and he ad-
mits that he is surprised at the OPP
position to prohibition he finds among
them.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions Of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition OF the mucous lin
ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inham-
ed condition OF the mucous surfaces.
