Attention! VOTERS

Don't get mixed up on your
ticket. Please notice that you
want to vote For Act No. %
and scratch Against Act. No. 2
and then further down on your
ticket scratch For License" and
vote against License if you don't
you will be counted for liquor.
1t is strarge state of things
that if you don't vote either way
it is counted for whiskey.
AS, this is considered christ
ian nation, it does seem that in The
very nature of the case it would
be counted on the side of good
morals. am told however that
a ticket no. scratched goes to
pie up the majority for wrong.
This seems increditable. and |
am sure it is very unfair. 1t is
unfait to the mothers and the
children who can exercise no
voice in the matter, especially
the mothers whose deepest soul
revolves against every thing that
would degrade her babies.

HOW PROHIBITION OP-
.ERATES IN SHREVEPORT

We have always contended that
prohibition, under our present
form of government, failed to
get the results supposed to be
derived by its advocates, n d
that instead of improving condi-
tons, made matters worse.
If anyone doubts this, go to
Shreveport, now a dry" city.
Prohibition has prevailed there a
year or two. Before the city
voted dry" there were about
100 saloons, today there is 482
places where one can get any
kind of Intoxicating liquors de-
sired, though the people complain
that the quality is not what it u.s.
ed to be. Think of it, places
where liquors can be bought are
more than double what they u.s.
ed to be, and without one single
restriction thrown around them
can sell to buys as well as grown
ups; sell in dives, clubs alleys and
bootIepged over the city

It shows very plainly how state
wide prohibition operates. n O [
only in Louisiana, but in every
other state where It has been
tried. The local option laws o.
Arkansas could hardly be impro-
we'd on, and IS about as closely
observed as any other Law on the
statutes. Under it the State IS
prosperous, as d whole. Now
should the people decide By their
vote to turnit into statewide pro-
hibition, it will eliminate all the
laws now governing the traffic
and turning it into the hands of
Stores, Blind Tigers and Boot
leggers and with it will come dis
order and large crop of outlaws
which has always been he eney-

tried.

should VOTE AGAINST ACT

made manifest by any display of feel

an increased registration of voters over
that of 1910. With the exception OF
the Prohibition party, which registered

If this country is to adopt a policy OF

Mr.. Mondell's Speech.

What Mr.. MondeIl said in the House
Yesterday WAS we'll said. and true as
gospel He presented no new facts. but
those he did present were strongly
grouped and strongly argued. He knew

But the facts will not silence Mr.. Roose-
Welt ard his friends. Having started with
a perversion of the facts. they must stick
70 that perversion. or throw up the
sponge. They will stick.
Theft is the complaint of Mr., Roosevelt.
He asks the country to believe that the
nomination at Chicago was stolen for
Mr.. Taft by the republican national com
mittee. He asserts that a majority of
the delegates TO the convention properly
chosen were for him. but that enough i'm

Terrorizing Witnesses.

Ever since the killing OF Roeenthai. the
New York gambler. in circumstances that
have strongly suggested police connivance
II not inspiration, there have been nu-
merous references to the likeness between
this crime and those committed by the
so called Black Hand groups OF Sicilian
blackmailers and assassins. In point OF
fact there is every reason to believe that
this likeness pervades the whole case
even TO the point of the intimidation of
witnesses in open court. feature or the
Black Hand crimes that has been ser-
Gus obstacle TO successful prosecution.
Yesterday a man who had previously
given testimony to the district attorney
discriminating one of the suspects now
held in custody appeared on the witness
stand at a coroners hearing and vtrtu-
ally denied his former statements. The
room was well filled with friends OF the
men under accusation. members of the
gamblers and Strong-arm gangs who are
implicated In this affair. who had, de-
spite precautions taken 10 regulate the
attendance obtained cards of admission
by some mysterious means. This witness
had previously acknowledged to the dis
trict attorney that he was in fear of his
life IL he told the truth. He has been
| accused Of perjury and may be prosecuted
unless he changes his mind and tells the
truth. II Is now believed that terrorism
will play an important part in the Rosen-
thai case. Between the police and the
gangs of gamblers who are implicated q
| repressive influence can be exercised that
may thwart the aims OF justice and leave
the matter in q muddle permitting no ef-
fective procedure. But IL the impression
gains ground that the district attorney is
| in possession of assured clues to the
truth. possibly through the confession of
a single member OF the murder gang. the
force OF this influence will be broken and
| there will probably be a rush of the
minor members to give states evidence.
