URGED PROHIBITION
The Saloons and Liquor Business Can
Not Be Regulated Committee Report.

The committee on temperance of the
Baptist convention which closed its ses-
sion held in New Orleans a few days
since, reported:
Prohibition is broader than temper
ance. 1t includes temperance, but it in
cludes vastly more. Temperance is the
wise use of all good things, and the
non-use of all bad things. Prohibition
| is this excellent dictum written into the
organic law of the State. Prohibition is
temperance applied to the State.
LAW is the capitalization of the pub
lie conscience it is the social, civil and
moral life of the people expressing it
self We want temperate national life
as we'll as temperate citizenship. But
no nation can be called temperate SO
long as it throws temptations to intem-
perance in the way of its citizens; so
long as it invites its own citizens to en-
ter into the business of making drunk
Eards by giving to this business legal
respectability; so long as it condones
the crime of the licensed liquor traffic
Eby fattening off the revenues which
come from this nefarious business. Pro
hibition means the changing of our at
titude on the temperance question; il
means a national repentance on the
question of temperance; it means tht
Iputting out of bushes the mills of vict
which are manufacturing drunkards ant
by putting these mills of vice out o
business, so purifying the moral atrnos
phere that temperance will become tn
habit of Our people.
What should be the attitude of tn
churches to this movement? If w
know anything about the movements o
the times this is one of the livest issue
before the American people. The saliva
ton of the churches largely depen
upon the attitude which they take to
wards the new movements that ar
, sweeping the nations of today. Th
churches can live only as they take thei
:, places in the life of the present and ful
lfll their functions in the solution of tn
| many problems confronting this age.
"The prohibition movement appeal
to the best there is in our churches.

! flow Of the religious, educational an
economic resolution of society. It

MARTIN BEHRMAN
Was Not Endorsed by the Baptist Con
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Adopted.

The following is a copy of the reso-
lutions adopted at the Baptist conven-
ton in session in New Orleans few
days since;
Whereas, it is reported in some of
our papers that the Baptist State Con
vention indorsed Mayor Martin Behr-
man in his position relative to the
school board controversy in this city;
and,
Whereas, this report might be misun-
derstood by our churches and brethren,
since no reference was made to the
school question in the mayors address
] of welcome before this convention; and,
Whereas, it is against Our principles
to take stock in anything other than
moral questions; therefore, be it
! Resolved, That we deprecate the fact
that this convention should have been
dragged into the school question of this
city, since it does not wish to be quoted
as taking sides either way in any local
controversy.
Resolved, second, That the courtesies
shown the mayor of this city, the invita-
ton extended him to deliver an ad-
dress of welcome from the city, and
other expressions of appreciation con-
corning his words of welcome, were
courtesies extended him because of his
position as mayor of the city, and are
not to be taken in any sense as indorse-
ments of his official acts.

A NEW ORLEANS POLICE JUDGE

n NEW O1fL<L@AAA ~ 1 ~ANA - ) - "
A police judge at New Orleans re
Gently fined a man convicted of selling
cocaine only SIS. The district attorney
seems indignant, and says it was equal
an acquitta1. The idea of hning an or
binary bootlegger $500, and letting a
cocaine dealer off on paying SIS is
judicial absurdity, we'll calculated to
bring the law and the courts into con-
tempt.-Mansfeld Enterprise.
The man convicted, on evidence that
could not be distorted, minimized or set
aside. and who was sentenced to pay a
nominal fine, only SIS, is not only a
friend of Judge Aucion bat is of the
class privileged to set the law at de-
[fiance when selling cocaine or other
drugs to human beings who are made
imbeciles or are transformed into devils.
| It is self-evident that the Mansfield En-
tterprise is wanting in that fine sense OF
distinction which led this New Orleans
Judge to fine his friend SIS, when il
should have been the full limit, and tc
have required almost the full limit from

THANKSGIVING DAY
Its Observance Limited to State and
Church-Business in Full Blast.

Thanksgiving Day is of English orl-
gin and came to America with the Pur1-
tans who in the autumn of the year 1921
observed the day with religious cere-
monies and in general rejoicing: Since
then Thanksgiving has received annua
attention from the Puritans and has
spread gradually until the day has come
to be recognized as national holiday
In Shreveport the day was observed
by the court and the clerk and the sher-
ifs office, by the United States court
and the postofice, whose hours of bust
ness were as on Sunday; by the banks
and the commercial bodies and by some
business firms and by the churches and
schools.
There was held a union service at St.
Marks Episcopal church where an in
teresting sermon was delivered by DR..
Hill. The service was attended by a
large congregation from other churches.

be offered, but the expressions II thanks

Two Progressive Rural Schools.

ers of the Lott and Red Hill
schools for their enterprise and
thoughtful public spirit! The Ad-
yertiser dofs it's hat and bows very
low to them. A conspicuous and
very pleasing feature of the parade
at the county fair Friday afternoon
were the decorated wagons loaded
with pupils from these schools.
The Lott school, which is taught
by Miss Maggie Reel, was very at
t~ractively decorated with the ma
tional colors. 1t was occupied by
the fair teacher and fifteen or TWEEN
ty pupils. AS these bright and hap
py pupils peered out from beneath
the beautiful canopy top represented
q very pleasing picture, one that
provoked much favorable COM
ment.
Another strikingly beautiful wag-
on was that Of the Red Hill school,
the color scheme" being deep red
so as to reflect or suggest the name
of the school. Not only were the
wheels and body of the wagon en-
tirely covered with red, but the
mules wore large red blankets
hearing the name of the school in
white letters. Misses Louise Lyon,
Miss Mabel Strom and alarge mum,
Der of pupils Ewsre in the wagon,
many of the pupils carrying ban
ners containing the letters h. ii.

wagons added much to the pa,

ers, together with the citizens, pas
irons and trustees who assisted
Them. have the thanks of the fair as

Stands at the Top.

Mr.. W. T. Walton is easily the
leading farmer in the county-not
the largest, but first from the stand
point of results. He harvested s5T
bushels of corn this year from three
and a half acres, which is an aver
age of more than 100 bushels per
acre. Mr.. Walton planted % acres
of cotton in his wages crop and will
make 30 bales. That is certainly
intensive farming,-the only kind
that pays under latter day condi-
tons.
