We are informed that our
neighbor town to the southeast
of us is soon to have two news
papers. That is genuine case
of silly foolishness on the part of
the promoters of the second
paper, and we do not know who
they are either. bat we do know
something about what a news
paper can do in a town and what
they can not do. Two papers in
a town with the population that
Slaton has, will not make enough
money to buy the ink that II
takes to print their paper. II
may be however that the railroad
Company has a finger in the
proposition. They need a great
deal more boosting than they
have been able TO get the Journal
to give them without Putting
Up" for it and il may be possible
that they are looking for some
new experiments. We hope the
new paper in that town will pros
per. We don't want him to get
rich however. for he would have
an unnatural feeling, that would
spoil the pleasures of receiving
the many boquets that are Oft
times handed the average news
paper man.

We notice on our rounds
about town this week. great
card board signs with letters
about six inches deep at the top
of the card nov TO VOTE, and
under that are the words
Against Prohibition and For
Prohibition, printed in smaller
type. This is one of the ways
the ants of Texas have devised
to get votes for their side of the
fight that is on. They seek to
prey upon the uniformed. They
prepare these things for the
benefit of the simple, and there
are hundreds of them in this
State who do not really know how
to vote they remember that some
anti told them TO scratch the
middle line and that is what they
do. 1t is a reflection upon the
intelligence of the people
of this great State, but
it is a game that is well played
and a game that works to per-
lection. They did it in the
primary, elections when they
were trying to elect a 'whiskey
ticket" They made out: printed
ballots with the names of those
they did not want scratched
out, and circulated over the State,
and in that way preyed upon tn e
ignorance of the simple minded
voters of the State, and in some
instances no doubt landed their
men in office. We know what
we are talking about for we
received one of the ballots not
long ago. 1t worked so nicely
in that case that they are trying
it some more in the Statewide
campaign.

The Daily Panhandle in last
Sundays issue contained a mag
nihcent article on the question of
getting more people IN the
country. Ii went on TO state
that all that was needed to
make the Plains and the Pan
handle an ideal place to live,
and make il to produce all the
products that any other part Of
the State could be made to pro-
duce. In fact he covered the
ground pretty thoroughly, but
to spoil il all he wound out his
article by stating that if State
wide prohibition is voted in
Texas on the 22nd day Of July
il will be in vain TO try TO get
people to develop this part of
the Great Lone Star State. Ii
states that the German people
of the state are the people TO set
tie this section, and put il in cul-
tivation, and stated that they
would not, without their beer,
hence the issue was against the
best interests Of the Panhandle.

Now. we have been unable TO
find any tMog very vicious
in the above paragraph. We
made LEGAL mention that these
parties were out Of town and
gave what we thought to be their
business. Mr.. billiard returned
the same day, and we supposed
that Mr.. Pickett had hired his
car 10 take him to Plains. Mr..
Pickett remained and we un-
derstand made a speech at that
place against the amendment TO
the State Constitution as it is
TO be voted OH in the election
to be held all over the State
Saturday. The Judge says he is
not in favor of the saloons, but
is opposed to the amendment of
the Constitution as proposed.
Now let's see. The amendment
proposed reads as follows: "A
resolution proposing to amend
the Constitution of the State of
Texas, by amending Article 10,
Section 70 thereof, by striking
out and repeating said sec
ton and substituting in lieu
thereof a new section 20 pro-
hibiting the manufacture, for
purpose of sale, barter or ex-
change of intoxicating liquors,
on and after the second Tuesday
in January, A. d. 1912. within
the State, except for medical,
scientific and sacremental pur-
poses, etc" According to the
reading of the above, and the
Judge will have to admit is the
way the proposed amendment
is written, it effects no other
business than the saloon, or the
whiskey traffic of the State. Ii
says nothing about groceries or
dry goods, or any other line of
business. 1t is proposed
amendment TO the Constitution
to prohibit the sale, barter or
exchange of Intoxicating liquors
in the State of Texas, and Judge
Pickett is according to his own
languag to eopposed to the amend
ment being made, or when fig
ured down to the more simple,
plain language, he does not
want this change in the Con-
stituuon that would interfere
with the saloons of the State of
Texas. and we can not see WHY
he is not speaking for the RE
TENTIoN" of the saloons in
Texas, for if the amendment
carries they MUST GO and If de-
feated THEY WILL REMAIN. For
this reason we have been unable
to figure out just why he should
so viciously assall the editor of
the Avalanche and give US such
a touch up, without it be for
the reason that he is ashamed
of his job, which he admitted
in his speech he was getting
paid for, and that he was get
ting plenty for it, while our
friend, the Judge, is rather SEN
sative on the matter, and al
though he is opposed TO the
amendment, (which in short
would put the saloons out Of
business should it pass, wJuld
rather that we cover up the real
meaning of the issue, by saying
that he is opposed to the amend
ment. Ii is simply in a few
words saloons in Texas, or no
saloons. and that is all that can
be gotten out of il.
