Statewide Prohibition.

Contrary to the opinion expressed
in some quarters that the election
of Robinson was a victory for the
whiskev ring. 1t develops that
many Of his most ardent supporters
are among the most earnest adyo-
Gates of Statewide Prohibition.
Hon. John H. Hincmon, of Morrcll
Ashley county, who was one OF his
campaign managers, has written
personal friend in Little Rock as
follows:
"Ccrtainly the report that the
supporters Of Mr. Robinson will OPP
pose Statewide Prohibition is news
indeed to me On the contrary,
nearly all OF his supporters, SO tar as
! know, will actively support this
proposition, As you know, the
movement to submit this question
at the next general election did not
meet my approval | thought it
best to try TO pass a statutory bill
through the legislature,
"Iowcver, there smoothing lcttnow
but for us to seek success in the gen
cral election with might and main,
So far as | am concerned, ! shall
avail myself OF every possible means
Of promoting this measure My pen,
my voice, my time, and such OF my
means as can spare will be gladly
and chccrfully given to the cause |
earnestly hope that God will give
me strength to canvass the entire
state for this cause If we fail be
fore the people, there is nothing TO
do but wait for two years and try
again. 1t is idle to talk about stat
utory legislation, if we fail before
the people,
"You may say that am at the
service of those who are in charge OF
this movement. If we win in the
general election, | promise that GOV,
Robinson will do his best to enforce
the measure,
The Statewide campaign commit
tee is in correspondence with Mr.
Hincmon, and he will have some
active and prominent connection
with the work Of initiating and
clecting the Statewide bill,

Give Your Children Good Books
to Read,

Believe me, YOU cannot leave your
children a better heritage than a
deep and abiding love Of books and
q taste for the best in literature.
And YOU must begin when they are
httlc Read good books and poems
to them aud when they get old
enough to read for themselves see
what they are reading. Aside from
the fact that what child reads has
great effect ON his character as an
adult, there will come times in the
lives Of your children when a love
and appreciation Of good books will
brighten hours Of loneliness or en-
forced idIcncss that would otherwise
be dark and gloomy indeed. To
weep over the sorrows Of little Nell
or David CoppcrhcId, or laugh at
Mr. Micawbcr or thrill at the cx-
pIoirs Of Rob Roy or Iyanhoc or
