dry when the amendment was adopted
we can enforce all the laws in effect
at that time prohibiting therein the
sale Of liquor.
The fears which are expressed by
some, especially by Ants who have
fought local option and local option
laws, that the benefit Of these laws
and the numerous decisions of our
courts constituting same will all be
thrown away, need give us no con
Germ. The Legislature will simply take
all the good local option laws which
have been passed by prohibitionists
and with which our Anti friends are
now in love, and make them applicable
to the entire State, with such other
laws as may be thought wise and
necessary. Every lawyer of any at
tainments will tell you that a law
which has ben held valid for locality
would necessarily be held valid when
made general for the State, as the APP
plication of local laws always present
more serious legal difficulties than
general laws, Further, the many ques
tons which relate to the technical
matters in connection with calling and
holding oft repeated local option cleo
tons will no longer be involved for
unlawful sales of liquor.
Our Anti friends should not fear
that our local option laws will be up
set and the sale of liquor by boot
leggers take the place of the licensed
saloon. When adopted, the amend
ment will simply put the brewers,
liquor dealers and saloonists out Of
business in Texas, and then the pro-
hibitionists of the State will only have
TO contend with the boOtleggers, who
are today more numerous where liquor
is licensed than where it's sale is pro-
hbited These bootleggers will be
easier to handle then, because they
are especially offensive to our anti
prohibition friends, and, if they are
sincere, we will join hands and consti-
tute a resistless majority in every To-
cality to rid Texas of bOotleggers after
the saloons are put out Of business.
License and regulation have been
tried and have failed. The amendment
will give us Statewide prohibition,
which we believe to be the only eff
fective remedy and which the people
of Texas are entitled to try in an ef
fort to rid our State of the banefu

stitutional oaths, as they doubtless
will, then efficient laws, which will
be uniform throuhgout the State, will
be passed to enforce the amendment
We are at all times dependent upon
governments, governors and legisla
lures to obey the constitution, and if
by chance men were elected who
would not do so, Texas would make
short work of them The Legislature
could never have been compelled to
pass any local option laws and it could
now wipe out every local option law on
the statute books by violating the con
stitutional oaths of its members.
The amendment will become effect

1t does not repeal a single local OPP
ton law now on the statute books, but
by its very terms preserves them until
modified or repealed
The only laws nrelation to the
liquor traffic which will be repealed
will be those by which liquor can be
sold under license. Therefore, until
the Legislature has passed efficient
laws for the enforcement Of the
amendment, we will hold fast to all
laws in force when the amendment is
adopted, under this proviso of the
amendment: All laws in force when
this amendment is adopted providing

a sign that pledges are received. But
the balls do not indicate what they
really are. They are the arms of the

The Tyndall Tribune last week
gave the commercial club along
the Platte line nice little nut, to
crack in the shape of a COMPARE
son of freight rates on hard and
soft coal charged by the Milwau-
kee railroad, on the Platte line
and those charged on its main line
from Yankton to Mitchell for the
same service. Town on the main
line according to the figures exhi-
bited, pay a good deal less per
ton of coal than those on the
Platte line, altho they are not far
Their from the mines from where
the coal is hauled. Maybe the
railroad commissioners might test
their teeth.
All of which reminds us of that
well known story of the poor,
abused, bu pretty Cinderella. 1t
seems that the Platte line is looked
upon as such by its stepmother
(the Milwaukee railroad.) Some
day, let us hope, Prince Competi.

Let it be strictly understood
that this is not the Platte or
Squaw line, but the Cinderella
