AS IN ALABAMA.

Whatever progress has been attained
towards Statewide prohibition may be
ascribed to the contemptuous disregard
of ali law and decency by the liquor
traffic. It was the defiance of the brew
cry and the saloon interest in the large
cities and towns in Alabama which
forcsd the issue in the Legislature. The
Legislature has responded to the will OF
the majority and in little while prohi-
bition viii be engrafted in the Consti-
tuition of Alabama. When this is ac-
complished it will not be possible for
the liquor traffic to exist in Alabama.
The brewery and the saloon will be
dfisen from that State never again to
return. As it is in Alabama, SO it will
be in Louisianas The saloon men and
the breweries in Louisiana may grin or
laugh. So did they in Alabama.

CONGRESS HAS ADJOURNED.


After protracted struggle the tar
if bill was passed. It is now law. It
IS said 10 be satisfactory to the Presi-
de;,t, and if it is, the people should ac-
cert it in a like spirit, but the people
are unlike the President in many re-
spe cts. The people, excepting the tav-
orcd few, must toll, either in the fields,
the counting room, Office of workshop,
and all these must pay tribute to the
trust sand the combines which fatten on
the protection incidental, direct and in
direct of the so-ca1led protective tariff
as devised by Aldrich and his associates,
It is very true the President must pay
his proportionate tax, but he is one OF
the millions with a salary which mil
lions can never reach.
Having enacted the tariff, which on
being signed by the President, became
law, Congress has adjourned, and each
congressman will be given the oppor-
turity of explaining to his constituents
his official record in Washington. FOR
tunately for some congressman, this IS
not the congressional year, and there
fore there is no danger of retirement
and pending another election there may
be patching of promises and pledge:
unfulhlled which may lead congressmer
to again win the good graces and the
votes of their district.
However, there will be no Interrupt
ton in the revolving of the world, ane
there may even be some rejoicing tina
the session of Congress is at an end

INTOLERANCE AND OUTLAWRY
IN OPELOUSAS.

II matters not how or why the cause,
the intolerance and the outlawry report
ed from the town of Opelousas should
be condemned by all good citizens who
stand for law and order.
It is true that the good citizens OF
Opelousas are explaining that the trou-
bic arising over the trial of men tor
violation Of the prohibition law. has been
exaggerated, but it is undisputed that
two witnesses for the State have been
assaulted and that one, known as A. j.,
Pouderi1l, barely escaped with his hfe,
and was hurried to the hospital at
Alexandra for treatment, while George
Glover of Shreveport has since disap-
peared from the town.
The aninus against these men is that
they. as detectives or spoilers" secured
the conviction of violators. of the law
and that others to be tried for the same
offense, were apprehensive OF convlc-
ton
The outrage, however, was not limit
ed to these two men, detectives or
"spotters,7 the home of Rev A. W.
Turner was visited and his family In
Inundated. At the time Mr.. Turner was
absent from the town. He is one OF
the leaders of the prohibition movement
and was active in urging the prosecution
of the violaIors of the law.
AS if to pa1liate the enormity of this
intolerance and outlawry it is being at
tempted to discredit George Glover,
who in the explanations from Opelou-
sas. is being connected with the convic-
ton of Phil Draiss. It may be stated
as fact of judicial record that al
though George Glover was subjected to
the most searching cross-exanination,
he sustained himself well, and it was
mainly on his evidence that Draiss was
convicted.
In further explanation it is alleged
that the detectives volunteered to leave
the town in consideration of $4oo," and
that the parties to whom they had made
this offer consented to meeting
made them sign a paper retracting all
they had testified to, and then informed
them that they could get no money The
alleged detectives then opened FIRE, and
got the worst OF it. :" So runs the story
IT was at this meeting, as alleged, that
George Glover shot and slightly wound
ed Dr.. S. o. Richardson. Now in al
candor and fairness. If this be true
why should there have been any effori
at intimidation or running the detec'
lives out Of town, when they would
stand discredited if called to testify, ane
be damned forever in the estimation O
decent men?
This is another instance when tn
law breakers, engaged in the traffic o
intoxicants, have overshot the mark
Ii would have been more diplomatic t.
have permitted the detectives TO remain
in town and testify and then have con
fronted them with their discredi AM
inpeacheki heir evidence before the tria
Judge. Ii would seem that the law
breakers of the town of Opelousas wer
TOO eager to get rid of the two mel
upon whose evidence conviction for tn
violation Of the prohibition law ha'
been secured, and others would not hav
escaped when called to trial.
In this intolerance and lawlessres
the prohibition cause is being strength
ened.
