OKLAHOMAN TAKES STAND
Leading Daily Of New state Declares Declares
against Prohibition
oklahoma Special Louisville Courier

oklahoma Special Louisville Courier
Journal
The Oklahoman, the leading daily
paper of the new State, this morning
comes out in opposition to prohibition.
In addition to this Moman Pruitt, one
of the leading lawyers Of the State,
has announced his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
on q high license platform. The fol-
lowing editorial appeared in the Okla
hoinan this morning:
AN EXPENSIVE FARCE
There need be no wonder at the
opposition developed against the pro-
position to divert the public funds
and increase taxation in d futile at
tempt to enforce the prohibition law
in this State.
Two years Of prohibition ID Okla
lahoms have shown itup to be a farce
in so far as enforcement Of The law
is concerned, and the experiment has
been a most expensive one from the
viewpoint Of the taxpayers.
Prohibition, as it has affected Okla
homa, has not diminished drunken
ness, as is obvious to those persons
who have eyes to see; has increased
crime, as is always the case where
sumptuary laws are operative, and
both decreased revenues anil inereas-
ed governmental expenses; has de.
veloped a dangerous precedent in
State interference in local autonomy,
and has absolutely failed to prove its
benefits.
About the only good that has come
from the two years Of prohibition il
Oklahoma-so-calIed prohibition-bas
been the convincing Of the Thousands
Of persons, who have heretofore en-.
entertained a doubt, that the mos
St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1910-02-12

satisfactory plan Of dealing with the
question is that Of high license and
local option.
There are communities where pub
lie sentiment is largely against sa-
looms, and in such It should be pos
sible to keep them out. In other
communities saloons are favored by
a majority of citizens. In such To-
calities the sale of liquors should be
permitted under proper restrictions.
There is no other reasonable, just Or
satisfactory manner Of handling the
liquor question without unwarranteed
invasion Of the rights Of individuals.
Properly restricted dram shops,
limited in number and under surveil-
lance and a source Of revenue, are
greatly preferable to bootlegging
establishments, unlimited in number,
the conduct of which is a crime and
from which no revenue is derived.
Theoretically prohibition may ap-
pear admirable, but practically it Is !
bowling and expensive farce.

If voters who make so much noise
about political states and slate makers
would only attend the party primaries
and take the interests in getting candi-
dates in the field that they should de-,
they would have no grounds of COM
plant about party states. If some
members Of political party did not
take enough interest in party success
to attend the primaries, of course there
could be no party success and it is
decidedly unreasonable for the stay-at-
home voter to refer to list of candi-
dates as a machine slate where, as a
general thing. it is possible for the
stay-at-home voters to break any slate
that is put up. Attend the party pri-
maries and work and vote for delegates
to the nominating conventions who can
be relied upon to carry out your wishes.
II is true you may be with the ma jority
but, II this rule were followed by every
voter, there would be very few states
successfully imposed upon nominating
conventions.

Inter State Fair and
Exposition.

Everyone who takes advantage of the
one fare rate to Denver during the In
ter State Fair and Exposition, Sept. 8,
to II, is assured a good time, one that
will ever be remembered as affording
more happy hours and educational fea-
lures at the same time than any other
event in the history of the west.
The Fair and Exposition will be more
than an exhibition, for, aside from the
exhibits in the various buildings and
throughout the grounds the "Great Di-
vide" will TEEN with amusements, which
have never been seen in the west, while
the aviation contest, the automobile
show and number of out-door perfor-
mances of exciting nature will be abso-
lutely free.
Every arrangement possible has been
made for the comfort and convenience
of the visitors, such as information bu-
reaus, emergency hospitals and ambu-
lances, branch post offices, press bu-
reaus, resting places and increased tran
sportation faculties to and from the city
There is not community in any of
the western states represented which
will not receive untold benefits from the
quarter of a million dollars, which the
exposition management has put into
this enterprise.
The premium list which shows $50
600 in prizes to be given away is now
being distributed, and may be had upon
request of Secretary G. C. Fuller.

Tho democratic state senators have
agreed to caucus under caucus rules
drawn by committee Senator w. H.
Adams and two senators named by him.
II this means anything, it means that
whatever legislation passes the senate
at the extra session will in no particu-
lar be Objectionable to Senator W. H.
Adams who. during his many years sell
wee IN the state senate, has always
been the friend and champion of the
corporations. If any of Governor Shaf-
roth's "paramounts" get through the
senate in form satisfactory to Senator
Adams they will also be very satisfac-
tory to the corporations of our state.

Republicans and Democrat. v.r.rIe,.

Colorado Republicans have no occas-
ion to bother themselves about the
vagaries of the Democrats who should
be allowed TO go their own way and
dispose of their own troubles without
assistance or interference from Repub-
licans.
As representative OF the Democratic
party. Governor Shafroth called the
legislature into extraordinary session.
in order to force the adoption Of certain
policies to which he says the democratic
party-not the people of the state
are pledged. or course he had no
business doing anything of the kind. He
had no business throwing upon the state
the burden and expense OF an extra ses.
sion in order to help the democratic par.
ty manufacture what he thinks would
be good material for the fall campaign.
But no has done II. and the thing for
republicans to do is to let him untangle
the snarl as best he may.
The proper thing for the legislature
TO do is to adjourn as soon as possible
after organization. without passing n
single one Of the so-csllcd platform"
measures. To do this would be To re.
turn proper answer to the governor
for having called the extra session. The
republicans should advocate this course
with all carnestness and cndeayor to
secure its adoption.
II was nonsense TO call the extra ses
sion TO enact measures which the leris.
latoro to meet next January can handle
AZ well ~ the one which has been sum.
moned to meet next week. The pres.
ent legislature had ample opportunity
to consider all these matters at It's roe.
ular session last year: and the governor
should have been satisfied with the de.
eision then made. lie has no right 10
assume that the members who opposed
the freak measures at that time have
changed their minds. and tha, they will
vote his way now, when they did no, do
so then.
BY calling tho extra session, Govern.
or shafroth has got himself into a hole
and there Ia where the republicans
oight to let him stay. They are
certainly under no obligation To pull
him Oh, Of the hole or To hclp him and
other democrats pull their chcstnuts
out Of the fire. Denver Republican.

The republican members of the legis-
lature can have exceedingly easy work
in the extra session. According To the
democratic caucus agreement In the
senate. all the legislation that is to he
had at the hands of the session must
be satisfactory to majority Of the 10
democrats who have agreed to the
caucus rule. This means that 10 demo-
cratic senator's out of 30, the full mem
bership Of that body can absolutely
control all the legislation OF the session
and all the republicans can do will be
to increase or decrease the majority by
which the measures are passed or de.
feated. The republicans are Of course
in n position to have considerable
amusement and make some trouble

ing they can do will in any manner
