THE REAL ISSUE

A Failure.

thinking voters by denouncing sa.
looms in Little Rock as being the
prime factor in the issue between
local Option and Statewide pro-
hibition. The saloon is not the
issue in this contest and every
ell informed prohibitionist
knows it. They know that, un-
der local option, any county in
the state can vote saloons out
and keep them out when a ma
;ority of the people so desire.
They further know, or ought to
know at least, that liquor is now
shipped into many parts OF the

liquor is sold openly in almost
in every town, regardless of their
statewide prohibition laws? If
such a law in Arkansas should
not prove more effective than in
other states named, it is only a
question of time when the law
will be repealed, as sixteen OF
her states have done after try
ing statewide prohibition and
finding it a failure. Its repeal
would not restore the local option
laws which we now have and are
being forced. and the state would
find itself in the same condition
that prevailed thirty wears ago,
when the cross road grocer and
every country merchant could
sell whiSkey without restraint
and with the same freedom that
they may now sell paragoric or
fiddle strings, which saloons
could open in every town, because
there would be no law to pre-
vent their going into business.
until new laws might be enacted.
Is tlat a condition which you, as
one who believes IL temperance,
want to see prevail? Had you
not best be content to let we'll en-

NEGRO SAID TO BE AT SOUTH
POLE

Persistent rumor has it that they
are trying TO establish a fact that
there was a Negro in copmany with
the Norwegian who Is said to have
recently discovered the South Pole.
Whether this be true or not will not
be known until the explorer returns
to more densely populated section
OF the globe where he can be inter
viewed by progressive and aggress-
i've news gatherers. But the thing that
stands out in boldest relief to the
American people seems to be that if
there was a Negro with Capt. Amund-
sen as there was with Lieut.. Peary,
who made his dash to the North Pole.
he will have no further difficulty in
establishing the fact that his discov-
cry was made. 1t is said that the
striking coincidence and the things
that lead up to the belief that a Ne
gro was with the South Pole discov-
erer is that one of his servants bears
the name of Henson, and that this
same name Henson is traced to
American lineage. Since the name
Henson is usually found among the
Afro-Americans or Negroes, Dame
Rumor is saying that the Negro, in
spite of the hardships he must under
go, has up to the present, turned up
wherever the white man has been
found. In speaking of this rumor, a
prominent gentleman of the city said
that the black man had contributed
to every page of history, ancient, med
ieval and modern. He stated that
the theologians no longer deny the
fact that Negro as y. ~. three
sc men in the East, who. In,l by
the star, beheld Christ in the man
ger wrapped in swaddling clothes;
that it was a Negro who brought
proper method to David concerning
the tidings of war and the death of
his son Absalom; that Negro had
carried the Christian religion down
/ into Africa centuries ago, before
Egypt lost its glory; but that things
that tire fresher in the minds of the
people are that a Negro was the first
to shed blood in the Revolutionary
| War for the Stars and Stripes, Girls
pus Attacks by name, and that it was
Negro who was the companion and
friend of Thomas Jefferson and
it was this Negro who was rated as
the first and greatest of Americas
mathematicians, his name was Ben
jamin Banneker, and who gave to
America her first Almanac; that a
Negro invented the first steamboat
to pillow the mighty deep; that it was
a Negro who thus far invented the
only feasible cotton-picker; that it
was the bravery Of the Negro soldiers
at Fort Wagner and Fort Pillow that
challenged the admiration of the civ
Bized world; that it was the fighting
Negro regiment during the Spanish
American War that added more
glory to Old Glory in the Antilles. 1t
was Henson, Negro, who nailed the
Stars and Stripes to the North apex
of the world. So if the other Henson
proves to be a black man. the Negro
will claim a deal of the distinction
in the discovery of the South Pole.
If not, then the North Poe belongs
by discovery TO one race and the
South Pole by discovery to another.
