COUNTY PROHIBITION.

(Omaha World-Herald, October 25.)
Thanks are due the ladies of the
w. C. T. U. for plainly and unmis.
takably defining the liquor issue as
it will be presented in Nebraska next
year.. Those who are for prohibition
and those who are against it, those
who are for county option and those
who are against it, are alike and
equally interested in knowing exactly
what it is they are fighting about
Nobody wants to win by taking an
unfair advantage, and no victory
would be permanent that was won by
befogging the issue and deceiving the
people.
Mrs. Frances B. Head, the presi
pleading with the national ~organiza,
ton to indorse the stand in favor OF
county option which the Nebraska w
c. T. U. has taken, made this frank
statement:
The Anti-SaIoon League county OPP
tive committee of the state w. C. T.
U. and found to be county prohibit
ton and nothing else. The officers OF
the Anti-SaIoon League have pledged
US their word that they will join with
US in working for statewide prohibi
ton the minute this county prohibit
ton bill is passed.
This makes the issue so plain that
he who runs may read.
county option is desired first, moi
because it is county option" but be-
cause it is county prohibition"
AS soon as county prohibition is
obtained the advantage thus won is
to be used Immediately to advance
the campaign for state prohibition
which, if successful, will wipe county
option out of existence.
The one is to be merely the STEP
ping stone to the other. Without
county prohibition the prohibition
forces believe it would be extremely
difficult to secure state prohibition
But with county prohibition they are
confident it will be impossible to de.
feat state prohibition.

LEGAL VOTES

For the first time in the history OF
the campaign for statewide %prohibi-
ton, a prohibition paper has
just admitted thai so-called oun
ty option is county prohibition.
This admission was made in a
late number of the Nebraska Issue,
which is the organ of the Nebraska
Anti-Saloon League. An editorial I'M
der the caption of Our County OPP
ton Bill" undertakes to explain the
terms of the county option bill the
league will present to the next legis-
lature for action. We quote from the
editorial the following sentences:
''The proposition is so phrased as
to submit the question of county pro-
hibition to the vote of the people at
q legal election" = = & > The
strength of the bill is in the unique
phrasing of the proposition to be
voted on; it is this, Shall this county
become a~nti-saloOn territOTyT the
vote being yes or no If Il major
ity vote yes thereafter no licenses
are to be granted within the county
+ + "If by any chance a COIN
ty fails to become anti-saloOn terri
tory it doesn't ote wet 1t simply
does not vote dry All laws remain
as before and all dry territory within
the county remains dry % = = :
This is not another liquor law. 1t is
distinctively a temperance (prohibi-
tom measure"
The reader will note hat this bill
is styled a county option bill by the
prohibitionists and yet the language
used by the organ Of the Anti-SalOOn
League makes it clear and self-eyi-
lent hat it is impossible for the man
who casts a ballot for the wet policy
to have his will registered in an
election as contemplated by the bill.
In view of this fact why is the voter
to be given a ballot enabling him tC
vote MOP" For no other purpose
than to deceive! All votes cast for
the dry policy will have the full force
and effect that every legal ballot ought
to have in any state, but the votes cast
for the wet policy are to be shOrn OF
full force and effect. This mean
that all the voters who may wish to
favor the license policy are to be dis
franchised. In many counties a ma
jority of the voters would cast bal
lots fer the wet policy under the pro
posed law.

Crime Epidemic in Alabama.
portland ArguS.O


The report of the encouragement
of Alabama furnishes authoritative
evidence of the sort of progress this
southern state is making under it's
new prohibition regime. 1t is not OF
the sort to encourage belief that tbs
states new departure will usher in
the millennium. ContraTywise. There
is a marked increase in criminal of
lenses for the two years covered by
the report yer the previous, or any
other like period of time, for which
the encouragement is unable to
offer a satisfactory explanation. A
marked increase in criminal offenses
this is the cold fact in Alabama's
short prohibition experience-but
waves of historical sentiment are not
stopped by cold facts, for a time, at
least.

DRAPERIEs MUCH IN VOGUE
All Sorts of Designs and Effects Are
Seen on the Costumes of the
Season.
Yours truly,
Clay Hight,
Secretary.

On many of the new house and re-
ception gowns draperies are much in
evidence These must be carefully
handled to be becoming and should be
eschewed by the "dumpy" woman, who
looks better in sitter effects.
Some of these draperies may be
safely called eccentric. One frock OF
pale violet crepe, which fits the figure
closely, had the waist draped to show
a waistcoat of white corded silk fast
ened with three large crystal buttons.
Beneath this vest was an inner one OF
Brussels lace reaching to the throat.
From the base of the corsage at the
back sprang broad sash, which was
brought round to the front and passed
through huge buckles just below the
knees.
Another sashlike arrangement OF
drapery was worn with a double skirt
of pink chiffon cloth. The bottom
skirt was bordered with silver band
ings and the upper was slashed down
the middle of the front and was
caught back on either side, with the
points worked in big flowers in silver
thread
Folds of silver gauze were used on
the waist in fichu lines and the waist
was encircled by large sash of the
gauze. tied in long. flowing ends.
Some of the new frocks show long,
hanging panels of satin at either side,
while the soft material of the frock is
arranged both on the skirt and hips
in handkerchief draperies.
The newest draperies are not
massed on the hips OF bust line as
much as formerly, but are carried
around the waist to slightly above the
waist line, where they terminate in
a Vatican train.

slices from milk loaf, trim them and

thinly on one side and spread half the
number of slices thinly With any
timed fish paste, say anchovy. The
paste should have been previously
mixed with whipped cream.
Have on hand some heart and dia-
mond shapes stamped from picked
cherries and truffies with small tin
cutters. Now put the slices together
to form the sandwiches, one having
the paste, of course, with one that has
the butter alone Decorate them to
represent spot cards by pressing on
the little shapes with very little cool
apple jelly to make the garnish ad-
here.
The diamonds and hearts should be
cut from the picked cherries and the
black suits from the truff1es. Do not
pile the sandwiches up, as this might
destroy the decoratioDpbut spread out
on a large bread plate and replenish
the latter from time to time.

stands it, that Marshall owns her own
waterworks system and has recently
built many miles of Granitoid walks
throughout the residence district.
1t appears that while the total tax
able values of Palestine are greater
than those of Marshall, Corsicana and
Tyler, yet their tax rate is. in one in
stance, 10 cents, in another 95 cents,
and in the case of Tyler, SIS cents
more, on the hundred dollars, and that
in consequence the total revenue de-
rived for Palestine, Marshall and Cor
sicana is substantially the same,
while Tyler, through having a valua
ton on one million less than Pales-
tine, has rate almost so cents great
er, and total revenue 20 per cent
greater than that of Palestine
On the whole, therefore, with no
further information than the figures
in the above report give us, Pales-
tine, seemingly, has no cause for COM
planning of excessive taxation; to the
contrary, we appear to be doing quite
as we'll as any of our sister towns,
and much better than some.
l do not believe, from the informa-
ton at hand that, insofar as our
debt and tax rate are concerned, we
should express fault with our present
administration. They are but provid-
ing for debt created before they as,
sumed the reins of government, and
for doing this and putting our town on
cash basis, believe they should
be commended.
There is much, even yet, however,
to be said in favor of the split log
drag and good sidewalks, and if you
will but keep up the good work, and
your ear to the ground, you are apt to
hear rumbling before long that will
bring about results along these lines.

VARIETY IN THE SWEATER
Garment That Has Become Indispen.
sable Is Capable of Many
Variations.

Sweaters are indispensable in the
autumn outfits, whether one intends
to go motoring, to sit on the verandas
of mountain cottages or hotels or to
hunt moose and deer in the wilder,
ness, and though the limitations Of
these garments are somewhat circum,
scribed, designers have succeeded il
securing variety and originality in the
garments.
The most striking sweater develop
ment of recent seasons is the increase
in length. We still have the short
sweaters, but we have, too, coat sweat
ers, reaching to the knees or below,
and in all lengths between this and
the ordinary hip length.
These long sweaters are an out
growth of the long coat fad, being de-
signed to replace the long coat, but
the extreme lengths are less desirable
than the half length models.

Editors Daily Herald:
A short time ago, after voting in

penny to our tax rate) in an able and
creditable editorial you advocated
paved streets, in at least, some parts
of our residence district. To this
the writer objected until after our
sidewalks had been paved and a
suitable curb provided, for the street
pavement to abut against. but. at the
same time, expressed a willingness to
be taxed some more, if necessary, to
provide good paved walks and streets.
And then, suddenly. without warning.

to be further taxed was gratified all
right, but we are yet sounding" for

Naturally, we sat up and took no.

addition, sharpened their pencils and

occurred to me that it might be a
good thing to write our neighboring
sister towns and learn something of
their financial condition. Acting up
on this thought, l wrote to Marshall,

pleasure in giving, herewith, the re-
suit of the investigation, which l be-

lous to contend that Paiesttne's real
values exceed Tyler's over a million
dollars to a man who knows the
towns, and there is only one conclu-
sion to be drawn, and that is that
your Equalization Board has been
busy. We have thought for some time
of raising our values on property rem
dered to about three-fourths of their
real value, and thereby reduce our
rate, as you have done, but after all,
with those who are familiar with mat
tiers of this kind, it does not have any
weight.

Dear Sirs:-We enclose you here
with letter just received from the
City Secretary of Tyler Texas, under
date of the 18th inst, relative to their
taxable valuations and rate.
r;dicnDus the contention that the ar.
tual values Of RR4iestfne's taxable
pres25TIy should be one million dollars
in excess of the actual value of the
taxable property of Tyler
We are inclined to agree with the
secretary as to that, as we are also
inclined to agree with him that
it does not matter, in so far as dollars
and cents are concerned, whether we
are assessed for one million, at per
cent, which would produce $10,00O00,
or whether we be assessed for two
millions at IL of l per cent, which
would, alses bring 100000. There
would not be any difference at all in
results, in so far as the income is
concerned, whether it be high valu-
alton and low rate or a low valu
alton and high rate-the result, for
income. is the same.
There is, however, one, and very
great difference, and that is the fact
that we are supposed to assess and
render our property at full value
Tyler has evidently overlooked that
fact. Yours truly,
G. E. Dilley.
