Slick Prohibitionists.

AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. "A novel
way to enforce prohibition made pos.
sible under the Fitzhugh-R Robinson liq-
,lor law, limiting the number of sa.
looms in each precinct to one for every
500 inhabitants, has been found at
Fairfield, in Freestone county. This
dry" town went wet a few weeks
ago, and almost Immediately applica-
lions for permits were filed for the
maximum number of saloons allowed
with the comptroller, who approved
the application. Subsequently there
were more applications which were re-
jected. The disappointed applicants
then pointed out that no saloons had
been opened and that the permits were
taken out by prohibitionists, who re-
sorted to that method to continue the
town dry.
