There WAS an ominous cdito-
rial in the Dallas New. q few
days since In which II was stated
that numerous communications
properly signed on the question
OF prohibition come 70 the News
Office from certain localities, and
investigation has shown that no
such writer's live in the places
from which said communications
come. Now 10 get at the gist of
this charge you have To read be-
tween the lines OF the News edi-
torial. The News is too prudent
a 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 as
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; ticti-
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.

One thing is certain, he was on
the program for a speech and
widely advertised for such at
the late snti-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 ublicity to his part on
that occasion. 1t 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
1t 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
fiuence is an outrage upon the
morals of the negro race in Tex.

A few years ago when there
was 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 we
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.
