The Battle With
John BarleycOrn
If the One, Why Not the Other?
Contributed by w.C.T.U. Worker


The "wets" tell us we cannot
enforce prohibition laws. That
liquor will be sold just the same
after state goes dry as before.
Will there he?
The government prohibited slav-
cry, and it died in a day. The
government stopped the lottery
business and it is dead. The
states, all but one, have put down
prize fighting, and it is an outlaw
ed sport today. The law stopped
duelling and it has gone out of ex-
istence. The law hunts down
counterfeiters, horse thieves and
rogues of all kind, and it prohibits.
What is there about liquor that is
any harder to put down than these !?
We have done these things and
we can do the other.
When defiant foe and long faced
friends tell us that prohibition will
not prohibit, we answer them
this. Good prohibition laws, wise
and carefully drawn, will be en-
forced as well as any other laws,
whenever and wherever there is a
public sentiment back of these laws
demanding their enforcement.

in Missouri says that in sixty four

county recorder bought the first
flask of whiskey and turned il

and the sheriff served it, and thai
was the last of the boot-legginE
business.
If sixty-four dry counties enforc'
the law, the other twenty DIR,
counties could do as well if the,

sentiment against the United States

A GREAT FEAT AT NOR
FOLK NAVY YARD.

Not long ago the great battleship
Delaware was hauled out in dry dock
at the Norfolk navy yard. This won
derf,ll feat was accomplished by some
two hundred workmen, aided by seven
powerful tugs, under direction OF the
experimenting naval constructor,
while the commander of the navy
yard and the captain OF the ship stood
by to see it well done. And then
the newspaper correspondents sent
out telegraphic dispatches about the
performance, describing how the mon
ster fighting machine, weighing more
than twenty thousand tons. was
fioated into the mammoth basin and
settled high and dry upon keel blocks.
The Delaware was locked here in
Newport News once. and probably
several times. before the local plant
completed her and turned her over
TO the United States government. But.
unfortunately for the newspaper cor
respondents. the trick was turned
without pomp or ceremony and no one
thought of sending out stories about
1t. Upon reading the accounts from
Norfolk, one naturally would suppose
that either the Delaware was not put
in dry dock here or else the local
newspaper men were treated very
shahbily by the management OF the
plant when they were not notified
q: such monentous event. How

himself as a candidate for governor
subject to the will of the democrat

ment appeared that of Key Pitman
who aspires to be the democratic nom
inee for United States senator, says
the Carson News.
Thus the gauntlet thrown down to
Justice Sweeney and the factions
of which he Is presumed to be the
leader. Dickerson has challenged the
powers of Newlands; of Sharon; OF
Bartlett and of Sweeney and right
merrily hereafter will the battle rage.
The contest that was started months
ago will be renewed in all its Bit

many wounds before the final de-
cision is given 1t is to be battle
for supremacy in the democratic party
and the battle lies between Dickerson
and Sweeney. True Sweeney and Dick
erson are not after the same office
more the pity-but they are the
recognized leaders and they are the
men between whom the strife will
be waxed warmest

cratic nomination for governor in

THE COUNTY COMMITTEE.

A matter that should not be over
looked at the republican primaries
is the election Of a county central
committee, which is essential in
order to carry on vigorous and
winning campaign proceeding the
general election in November.
Subdivision s. of Section IL. of
the primary law reads:
AT the bottom of the last column
of any official primary election ballot
to be voted for in September for
the nomination of candidates to be
voted for in the ensuing November
election, there shall be left one blank
space defined by light lines or rules
three-eighths OF an inch apart and
which shall be proceeded by the
words county committeeman
Section rs of the same law contains
the following relative to the forma-
ton of county committees:
The county committee of any
party shall consist of member from
each voting precinct in such county
or city and county, elected at the
last proceeding primary election as
provided in subdivision 8, OF
section II of this act, to hold Of
flee for the term of two years and
until their successors are elected
The county committeeman elected
must meet at the court house at thu
county seat on the second Tuesday
after such primary election at the
hour Of p. m. and then shall organ
ize by the election of chairman ant
secretary and may then and no
thereafter select from among thei
numbers an executive COMMITTEE
Thus 1t will be seen that the Sc
lection Of county committeeman a
the primary election Is a most i'm
portant matter and should not b
overlooked In any precinct in tn,
county.
The selection of a county boar,
OF education to direct the affairs o
the county high school is anothe
matter Of Importance and the Recor
suggests that ~inasmuch as three men
bers constitute this board that on
each be chosen from Phoebe, Panac
and Caliente. Two of the member
are to serve for two years and on
