Arizona Development
Board
What Secretary Kinne has
Been Advertising

Secretary Chas. A. Kline is in
receipt of an invitation to attend
the first semi-annual meeting of
the Arizona Development Board
to be held in Douglas May 13 and
Ia.
This board is composed of the
secretaries of the commercial or
ganizations of Arizona. In his
annual report last January Sec
retary Kline recommended that
the Ell Paso Chamber of Com
merce foster the organization Of
such a hoard to be composed of
the secretaries of the commerce
al bodies of West Texas, Arizona
and New Mexico to work to-
gether for the industrial and
commercial development of this
section. Mr.. Kline took up the
matter, but received little en-
couragement from neighboring
commercial bodies.
1t seems, however, that E. P.
Grindell, secretary of the Doug
las Chamber of Commerce and
Mines, has been successful in
getting the Arizona secretaries
together to organize the Arizona
Development Board and they
want Chas. A. Kline to attend
the boards first semi-annual ses-
sion and explain his plans for a
development campaign and to tell
how the commercial secretaries
of Texas operate. Ell Paso

Sunday morning; as a result one
is dead. another badly wounded

a shot in the breast. Arculano
Arnalla got one leg shot to pieces
in the skirmish; he was arrested
and brought to Duncan where
his wounds were dressed by DR..

Ell Paso. Texas, July "a.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
The Ell Paso County Prohibition COM
mittee desires to express its apprecia-
ton of the fairness of The Herald in
presenting both sides of the prohibition
issue We regret that you have not
yet found 1t compatible to become an
advocate of constitutional prohibition,
but trust that, when this issue comes
up again, YOU will find the sentiment
OF. the people such that your objections
will be removed.
We deplore the fact that this ques
ton was not settled right at this time.
It will never be settled unless 1t is set
tied right. It is highly improbable
that any well informed man in the
state doubts that a substantial MAORI
ty of the untrammelled voters who
paid their own poll taxes voted for the
amendment.
Doubtless a, large part Of the minority
Of that class of voters will register a
protest when this matter is again sub
mitted to the suffIhge Of the people.
but this committee is not favorable to
any contest of the result of Saturdays
election on any general statement or
charges Of Irregularities or fraud. The
better way will be resubmission to the
people at the proper time When that
time comes. the salo6ns, If wise. will be
fully prepared to close. In the mean
time let US enforce existing laws.

Little Editorials By Herald Readers

| trictS sitting around the stove chat
ting and resting, some even Knitting;
there was no loud talking no excessive
drinking nor any rowdyism of any kind.
The front door was wide open, the peo-
pie passing on the sidewalk could look
right in, and the peaceful scene left an
impression on the beholder never to be
forgotten. Now 1t is not really the sa-
loon that people object to so much as
1t is the loud and vulgar language In
dulged in by the patrons of the place
Some time ago an edict went out that
all saloons take down their screens and
open their doors. That was a step IN
the right direction, but it was soon a
thing of the past and today the screens
are up and man may hide away,
curse, cavort. drink. swaggfr. or rather
stagger and fall around and make
hog Of himself in general 1t is not
prohibition we need most, for that we
will never have in the strictest sense
of the word, but a cleaner saloon.
II the people put half as much steam
in working in the right direction as
they do in the wrong direction, the
saloon would soon cease to be bone
of contention and men would quit pros
tituting their souls by lying to trap
poor devil Of a saloon man or placing
price on vice by paying young boys
whisky in a treacherous cause 1 think
the mother who refused to lend her
boy to such a cause did wisely, and the
man who paid the SIS could have been
better employed.
Clean up the saloons, open up the
doors. make them public, and the trade
will fall off appreciably in very short
time. Most of them will have to shut
I'D for want of customers. for no man
cares to make a pig OF himself in the
public eye.
Now, one more thing: The law says
the saloons shall shut up at midnight
and on Sunday. If the officials ala
their duty this law would not be
broken, so why not remove the off,
Gals who refuse to do their duty and
place efficient men in their placesZ
Why not prosecute the man who sent
out poll tax receipts contrary to the
law, and replace them with honest
men? There must be honest men in
Ell Paso, but we seem TO shout hur-
rah for the wrong man at the polls
or is it that only grafters and men
who wish to line their own nests at apy
cost run for public office? Now 1 am
tax payer. and while 1 have no vote,
I am interested and would like to know
why the laws are not enforced. In
old Mexico, the so-terrned heather land,
when a law goes into effect 1T is
obeyed to the letter It would seem
we Americans were suffering from an
overdose of civilization.

TO ESCAPE PROSECUTION.

81 = a
Editor FL Paso Herald:
The decision that Hon. W. W. Bridg-
ers made in regard 20 o. n. Edmon-
son. who ran the Lone Star inn on
the county road, That he would not
be prosecuted for Sunday violations be-
cause he had closed his place of busi-
ness should encourage every law
breaker in his pursuit of evil doing.
1t seems that this decision ought to
work as we'll in one crime or misde-
meanor as another. and prove highly
beneficial to the lawbreaker. Mr.. Jones
goes to the Pomeroy stable and steals a
horse. When he finds ne is about to
be caught and prosecuted for a thief.
all he has to do is to say, I've quit
stealing" and our county or city will
decide, There will be no prosecution
against Mr.. Jones, for he has stopped
stealing" Take heart all We lawbreak-
ers, for when you break into a mans
house, or slug any one for his money,
all you have to do is to say, II am not
going TO be a burglar any none" or
I'm not going to knock a man down
for his money any more" and the Off
GERS will let you go scot free. 1t will
be a good thing for FL Paso. for there
will not be so many Jail birds to feed,
nor officials fees to pay.

2PRoHrBITIoN FOR ALL

EDITOR FL PaSO Herald
The reason the prohibition party or
church element has such poor
chance and such a small following is
simply this: They are always using
lying tactics and doing things that an
honorable man would shudder to even
think of, much less put into effect.
Now, under the head of public good,
they are sending young boys into sa-
looms and even paying them; they go
to saloons on Sunday morn
ing and say to a saloon man that they
are sick. even hint that they were on
a spree the night before, and they even
admit that they sat in a saloon and
split a bottle of beer. and people sheer
and say, Yes and they drank all they
bought, too" Now these tactics are
,abominable to every thinking person.
In fact. it simply disgusts a. certain ell
ement.
I do not care if there were not drop
IF liquor on the continent, I am as
much in favor of prohibition as anyone,
that is. prohibition for ALL Now in Al
ALBANIA they had prohibition A wealthy
man in my house said: Prohibition
does not trouble us; we wealthy men
have our club. and we can drink when
and where we please; we keep il in our
club and have a regular license 10 do
just as well as the wealthy man. but
prohibition says no.. The poor man
can not afford a club: he can hardly
UP his home and the expenses there
Of, but If there is a saloon where he
can buy drink he will do so and he is
none the worse. for he would doubtless
spend the money some way anyhow.
They have prohibition in my home
county in eastern Texas. and while I
was down there, a few years ago. the
men were buying alcohol at the drug
stores and drinking It. Almost every
man you met had a pint
bottle of alcohol in his hip
pocket asked them why they
voted out the saloons and then sneaked
around and drank alcohol, and Peruna,
and other noxious drinks; they Just
grinned-"we have to have something
to drink" was all the answer they
could give. Now 1 don't say that beer.
or whisky either. is good for a man to
drink, In fact, I am quite convinced
that 1t Is not, at least If INDUCED In
to degree but is alcohol any bet
ter? And above all, are Peruna and
such patent medicines good for the
stomach, taken in copious draughts?
And IL is fact that men will drink.
Then why not have saloons, but take
away the wild and woolIy saloon.
In Brennan. a small town in eastern
Texas, I saw g. saloon which to nv
mind was the ideal saloon; 1t was run
by a German and patronized by Ger
mans almost exclusively. I have passed
the place and seen as many as four
German women from the farming dis
