Archbishop Ryan died i'll Philadcl-
phia last week. and has been buried
with all the ceremony due his exalted
station as n prince of the Church.
When his little belongings were ex-
amined after his death, ii wa~ssfound
that his entire personal estate was
worth only s4,031. This, with his
books and furniture, was left 10 his
successor.
IN September. 1909, Edward H.. Har-
riman died IN New York. He left be-
hind him an estate that was varlously
estimated as being worth from sl50.-
100000 to $500, 600, 900. lie also was
Luricd With all the rites of his Church.
Archbishop Ryan's pitiful little cs-
tate was acquired after more than half
a century OF unremitting TOLL; Harri-
mans millions were the result Of prob
ably ten years Of shrewd trading. OF
bold speculation.
Which would YOU rather be nov?
The Archbishop or the railroad mag
nate? The priest OF God or the creature
OF NIammon? Death takes on an en-
tireiy different aspect when the search

An 0utraesously Deceptive Method


There was an ominous edito
rial in the Dallas News a few
days since in which it was stated
that numerous communications
properly signed on the question
OF prohibition come to the News
Office from certain localities, and
investigation has shown that nc
such writer's live in the places
from which said communications
come. Now to get at the gist OF
this charge you have to read be-
tween the lines of the q &s edi.
torial. The News is 90 prudent
q paper to state all the facts in
the case. But we are going to
state them and the News will not
deny. them.
Upon which side are these com
munications thus questioned az
to their authorship? On the anti
side. How did the News happen
to Investigate their authorship?
Why ,prohibitionists living in
said localities have written the
News that no such persons lived
there. The News will not deny
it. Then how did these commu-
nications get written? Easy to
explain. They were written in
the office of Jacob VOTERS, sent
to some anti in the said locality
and he mailed them to the News!
That this is true is as morally
certain as anything we havr not
actually seen with our own eyes.
Therefore the ants are so
pressed for communication that
they manufacture them in their
headquarters, send them; ficti-
tiously signed, to given localities
and get some anti to mail same |
to the News.
We are not surprised at this,
for the whole anti campaign is |
run upon fraud, deceit and bare |
faced misrepresentation. They
have no issue of their own and |
they are trying to manufacture
one, and such literature as they
want'to appear in the public
prints in reply to prohibition ar
ticles from given localities, their
hired workers and writer's at
headquarters prepare, falsely
sign, send off to some town and
there have them mailed back to
the News for publication. The
News did not tell all this and
could not tell it all, but we know
> few things, and the above is
the explanation. On with the
battle.-Home and State.

Experimental Farms.

One of the wisest laws enacted
by the 32nd, or any other Legis-
lature, was the one which au-
thorized the Commissioners
court of any county to make an
appropriation of not to exceed a
thousand dollars to be used in
farm experiment and demonstra-
ton work.
Every county in Texas will
make a good investment by ap-
propriating the whole thousand
dollars and demonstrating to the
farmers what crops and what
manner of cultivation will be
most successful to local condi-
tions and to educate the farmers
to farm by the most improved
methods and to discontinue the
system of the long ago.

FIGURES AND FACTS
NO ARGUMENT NEEDED
Some Of Marion County's Expenses
Before and After Prohibition
Went Into Effect.

Paid out for jury services TO.
the two years just prior to vot
ing out the saloon, $7,543.12.
Paid out for jury services TO,
the two years just after voting
out the saloon, $5,126.83. ONLY
the small sum of 81, 1929 saved
to the taxpayers of Marion coun
ty in two years of local option.
While we had the saloons, Ma
rion county was paying annually
to the sheriff of the county about
1880 per year for feeding pris.
oners. Last year Marion coun.
ty paid her sheriff less than
81, GOO for the same purposes.
AS a business proposition does
it pay to have local option.
If this holds good for Marion
county why will it not hold good
for all Texas?
Other expenses of the courts
OF Marion county were reduced
in the same proportion, and it's
not far from the mark to say that
Marion county is saving from
three to four thousand dollars
annually by reason of having
carried local option.
The banks have more money
on deposit, the lands and all
kinds of property are worth
more, more new buildings and
concrete sidewalks than has been
placed in this town in many years
and all this has come since local
option carried in the town.
Who says that local option will
hurt q town or county? And if
it will not hurt a town or county
why should it hurt q State? Fig
ures and facts speak this time
and need no argument.
This saving of a few thousand
dollars put on Marion county
roads will look mighty nice, and
help the farmer, the merchant. |
The working man, the banker;
Ind who will it hot help? Why |

Prof. E. L. BlackShire and tho
Saloons.

We hear it from various
sources that Prof. E. L. Black
shire, principal of the Prairie
View State negro school, is Civ
ing his time and attention to the
aid of the liquor interests of the
State at this time instead of de-
voting himself to his duties as
teacher of his race. Is this trues
One thing is certain, he was on
the program for a speech and
widely advertised for such at
the late anti-prohibition rally at
Fort Worth. He was assigned
to the duty of instructing the
negroes OF that rally on their
duty to stand by the bar rooms
in the coming election. Was he
there and did he speak? We do
not know; but the papers gave
great publicity to his part on
that occasion. It is also reported
that he has written letters to
members of his race advising
them to vote for the anti prohibi.
ton movement. Is this true?
We have seen no denial of it.
If it is true, it is a disgrace to
his position and an insult to his
race. The State never put him
in that position as an anti prohi-
bition whooper. 1t put him
there to help lead his race to
higher moral and intellectual
planes. The saloon is the worst
enemy of the negro race in Texas
It is doing more to brutalize and
degrade them than all the other
influences combined. And for
their leading State teacher to
line up with the saloons and
give them the benefit of his in
fluence is an outrage upon the
morals of the negro race in Tex
as.
A few years ago when there
was a local option election in
Waller, the county seat in which
that school is located, we were
down there and at his school,
and he told US he favored prohi.
bition but his position was such
that he could not get out and
work for it. But If what wei
have heard about him of late is |
true, he has thrown off his mod
esty and his sense of duty to the
negroes of Texas, and is doing |
what he can to keep the saloon |
fastened upon them. 1t is time
for the decent and moral element |
of white people in the State to
understand this if it is true. |
Colquitt will not always be Gov
ernor and his anti appointments
will not always control Black
shire'e position. A hint to the
wise ought to be sufficient. Will |
