ELEVEN REASONS
Why You should Vote for State
 Wide Prohibition.

Little Rock, Sept 2-Rey. R. L. Selle, pastor of the Scott Street NJ. F.. Church. gives the following eleven reasons for voting for statewide pro. hbition:
 1-Because if prohibition is good for any part of the state it is good for the entire state. 2-Because Local Option does not l give prohibition 10 the counties which heed 1t most. Statewide Prohibition will do that.
 3-Because this campaign is not dealing with county but with state issues
 4-Beeause Prohibitionists in wet counties are unit in their desires for the Prohibitionists in dry eoun- ties to vote with them on this state wide issue
 5=Because prohibition is in the i physical, mental and moral interest of every man, woman and child in 1 Arkansas.
 6-Because prohibition will in- l crease every kind Of legitimate and l decrease every kind Of illegitimate business in the state.
 Because there is 10 neutral ground in this campaign. No man can serve two masters God is on one side of this issue, and the Dev- i il is on the other
 8-Beeause Prohibitionists have prayers, songs of praise. and bene- dietions in their meetings.
 9=Because the influence of all i Prohibitionists who neglect to vote at this time will count on the side of whiskey.
 l0=Because majority vote for statewide prohibition now will give every county in Arkansas prohibi- tion for all time to come without further County Local Option cam l paigns.
 11-Beeause a majority vote will 1 put prohibition into every county in the state, whereas II will take a two thirds majority to repeal it. The whiskey people can never control that vote. hence prohibition will be ours for all time to come

LOCAL OPTION LAWS WILL STAND REGARDLESS OF VOTE ON STATE WIDE LAW

The opponents of statewide pro hibition have been industriously cir culating the report that the adoption of the state wide law at the coming election would repeal the present local option laws, This is mis- take, as will be seen from the fol- lowing interview given out by Su- perintendent Barrett:
 The whiskey people insist said superintendent Barrett that the passage Of the statewide bill would repeal the local option laws Moth ing could be further from the truth. The statewide bill will not repeal any local option laws except that part that gives vote on it every two years. and will not repeal the law that prohibits the soliciting Of orders or advertising liquor in dry territory. It only extends all of the good there is in local option 10 the whole state and stops the fight on 1t every two years. The enforce ment of the law will be by the same officers that enforce our local op- ton laws. And if the statewide bill Were repealed it would leave every one Of our local option laws in force as now.
 The state wide law would not prohibit man from making cider out Of his own apples or wine out of his grapes, and from serving wine on his table, as they claim. They can have just as many privileges under that law as they are now entitled to, ha more. no less, and no man could make his home saloon or a dis pensary. Our bill onlye nelarges the fe fitcry from county to state, and makes the state the unit of option"

ALDRICH CURRENCY PLAN
DEFENDED AND ATTACKED
Representative Vreeland and Ex-

Views Regarding Bill.

NEW YORK. January 2O.-Represent-
ative Edward B. Vreeland, vice chairman
Of the national monetary commission,
defended the proposed Aldrich currency
reform bill, and former Secretary Of the
Treasury Leslie N. Shaw attacked II In
addresses delivered today at the Republi-
can Club.
II may say declared Mr.. Vreeland.
that after three and one-half years OF
dircussion and study Of the proposed
system. that the man who now disagrees
with it entirely should be prepared, at
least. to submit something better.
1.-The trouble is our present system falls
apart when panics are impending. and
each unit must take care of itself. We
want coordination and uniformity. We
now lack leadership in our fiscal policy.
This was shown in the panic of 1901.
Mr. Shaw announced himself opposed
to the proposed National Reserve Asso-
ciation.
He declared that the same influences
which dominate the monetary plan at
present now dominate the financial inter-
eets of the country, and that continued
domination of the system by Wall street
would be assured through the plan Of
scattering the stock Of the Central Re-
serve Association over the country.
