Reported by the Weather Bureau, ].
w. Cronk, local forecaster, October 10:
Fair weather has generally prevailed
over the cotton belt, excepting little
rainfall at some places in Arkansas.
Temperatures have generally ranged
from little above normal in western
districts to slightly below normal in
eastern districts, with few frosts in
the northwest quarter of the belt.

A DEMONSTRATION.

At this time, there is no issue in which
the law abiding citizens of Shreveport
and Caddo parish have a greater inter
est than in the demonstration that the
law can be enforced and that the guilty
can be held to account.
1t is no longer a question of whether
the law is Objectionable, but has the law
been treated with contempt, and, if it
has been, then no law abiding citizen
can or should occupy a neutral position.
1t is worse than senseless to pretend
to be deaf or blind to the infraction OF
law which during the several weeks
past, if not months, has been subjected
to the ridicule of the class who have
assumed to be a law unto themselves.
In times like this all law abiding cltl-
zens should stand for the law.
Why has the law applying to the sale
of intoxicants been disregarded?
If the violators had not entertained
some assurance of security, they would
have been less bold, but they have ope-
rated, as if they were enjoying a special
privilege and would never be molested
by the authorities, charged, according
to their oaths of office, to enforce the
law.
| Whatever has been done has been &C
complished by few law abiding citizens
operating with the district attorney, who
have been compelled to employ detec,
! tiyes. How effective has been the work
of the detectives may be measured by
the convictions secured in the trial o.
the cases before Judge Bell and in ,th>
number of violators who have pleade:
guilty.
Is not such a demonstration reaec
ton, if not a rebuke, to the authorize;
who have been inactive and Indifferent
apparently deaf and blind to the vic
lators of the law, which in some in
stance has been in defiance of public de
cency?
Men who are innocent do not plea
guilty.
Until this demonstration, followed b
pleas of guilty, the sympathizers of tn
law breakers have been crying persecu
ton; have been berating the preacher:
have been criticising and condemnin
law abiding citizens, but these derider
of good morals, of law and of orde1
have been silenced at least for while
: The demonstration that the law can
enforced, if the legal authorities will d
: their duty, and that the offenders ca
be convicted when prosecuted INTEL
gently, should be sufficient warrant t
insist that the officers of the law sha
; not in the future be evasive or neglect
5 full of their duty. After all, the Unfit
ence and the good will of the law abb
ing citizens should be held in as gre
Z if not greater esteem than that Of Il
law breakers, especially by the indivi'
uals holding office OF, aspiring to an o
fee in the future.
There can be no further straddlng
: The demonstration of the conyictio
, of law breakers should spur the author
u ties to activity.

O'NEAL SPEAKS TO
FAYETTE AUDIENCE
POINTS OUT PALACES OF THE
AMENDERS' ARGUMENT-BAN
HEAD REsENTs CHARGE HE FA-
VORS WHISKY.

Fayette, November Especial. Elm
met O'Neal addressed an audience of
about $50 citizens here today for more
than an hour and a half against the
amendment. There were a number of
ladies present.
Colonel o Neal was introduced by Sena-
tor Bankhead, who briefly gave his rea-
sons for opposing the amendment re-
marking that the people who had
been his neighbors in this county for
% years knew he had always stood for
temperance and prohibition, had supported
the church of which he was a member
and all moral questions and knew that
the charge which had been made that he
favored whisky by opposing the amend
ment was untrue.
Mr., O'Neal took up the arguments of
the amenders in their regular order and
pointed out what he saw of the fallacy of
each, contending that there was no neces-
sity for the amendment and argued that.
II adopted, the measure would invest the
legislature with authority to invade the
scanctity of the home. He was given
careful attention throughout his address
and received generous applause.
The audience was composed of men
from different portions of the county and
every indication points to majority
against the amendment.

SPEAKING AT YORK
Waller and Evins Make Addresses
Against Amendment.

York, November l1.-(Special.) -Charles
e. Waller and r. B. Evins addressed a,
large audience of the voters of York to-
day. taking stand against the amend
ment.
They commended that the burden of proof
was on anyone seeking to change the
existing order of things. that the amend
ers had retreated from their originally
rendered issue of whisky or no whisky
because with the interstate commerce
clause OF the federal constitution in OPP
Grafton such an issue was an obsurdity,
and now claimed that the issue was sa-
of the amendment would stop agitation.
The speakers argued further that there
were now saloons in Alabama; that
the resolutions of the Montgomery con-
ference declared against the re-estab-
lishment of saloons; that under the
amendment If adopted, the Legislature
would have the legal power TO repeal all
prohibition laws. and in such event the
sale or manufacture of whisky could be
neither licensed punished that if
the legislature did not repeal the laws it
had the legal right while maintaining
them, to minimize the punishment for
their violation and render them ineffective
to prevent anyone who might desire from
running an open, unlicensed. Illegal and
unpunishable or slight punishable sa-
loon.
Both speeches were well received.
