Red Letter DAYS

the people of Scotland will be free
to vote on the questions of whether
they will or will not have public
houses in their midst, or at any rate
reduce them in number. To tie the
hands of the anti-license reformers
for eight years, during which an I'M
speakable amount of social mischief,
personal misery and national loss
must take place, is terrible tribute
to pay to the idol of liberty or the
monument of charity in the case of
an anti-socia1 traffic like that in in
toxicating liquors with its blighting,
blasting records. But the circum-
stance has got to be faced. The new
conditions open new era for tenn
perance and social reformers across
the border. There are new problems
before them, new machinery will have
to be devised All experience shows
that local option law does not work
itself. Self sacrifice, devotion and en-
thusiasm are needed to utilize the
powers which at last the state con-
coded. What must be borne in mind
is that it is the personal element
which mainly tells. 1t is an unfound-
ed assumption that no-license cannot
be won in urban areas, but only in
rural conditions. 1t is won where
temperance leaders are to be found.
Wherever men and women will un-
dertake the work in a resolute spi it
for their own ighborhoods, the new
law will bring its blessings to the
people of Scotland. The immediate
work will be to set about finding
and educating temperance leaders an /
pursuing a campaign throughout the
country which will ensure the people
voting right when they get the
chance.
Brewing Trade and Scottish Bill
Nothing so much indicates the sue
cess attained by the passing of the
Scottish temperance bill as the atti-
tude of the brewing trade to it. 1t
has long been an axiom in the tenn
perance circles that the only legis-
lative proposal the brewing trade
really fears is the principle of the
local veto applied direct by the peo-
pie themselves. The last issue of the
Brewing Trade Review furnishes an
illustration of this. They objected
to the principle altogether The in
PRODUCTION of the popular vote in this
matter, we were told, was unsound
and unwise. The public house is open
for the convenience of the people, but
the people are not to be consulted
as to whether it is sound policy and
wise local government to shut them
up. 1--WE hold that there is no case
for the endeavors of those who do
not consume alcoholic beverages to

AT THE A.MUSE.U THEATRE

"The Anarchist" an unusually dra- matic picture in which King Baggott enacts the title role. The atmosphere is perfect and the theme, as it has been worked out, is one that will make deep impression.
 Through Barriers of Fire" in two reels Chance Ward, a Northern sympathizer, leaves his Southern home and enlists in the Northern army at the outbreak of the Civil War. Later, in 1864, Edwin August, a young Southerner, joins the Confederate forces. Edwin leaves behind his mother, his sweetheart and his bro- ther, Frank. During an engagement the Confederates run short of ammu- milton. Edwin reports this condition to the Confederate commander who sends an orderly with Edwin to de- liver dispatches of outlying posts asking for more ammunition. The orderly falls into, the hands of the Yankees and is taken to the Union headquarters, while Edwin succeeds in getting through the lines.

and first to last, ghost and witches will have entire charge of the stage. It will not matter to the audience in what form the ghosts appear but they will all be more or less impressed with the certainty that ghosts do actually exist in this day and time. Notwithstanding many people do not believe in ghost it is the intention of those who will call up these spirits of the past to convince the most skeptical.
 If you are at all nervous and afraid of witches, fantistic and vap- orous forms serpentining, twisting. mourning and grooming, you had bet ter occupy the back seat On this occasion the three witches of Endor will be called up for a twentieth century performance and just wheth- CT the shade of Macbeth will be re- vealed has been kept a profound secret. There will be many features on the program that will be hair splitting and hair raising and terreri- flying and fearful to behold, but a major part of the program, those in charge, positively refuse to disclose. It has been noticed that members of the football team have spent great portion of the day carrying skeletons and collins into the school huild-t ing and strange noises have been heard in and around the stage There is going to be great doing "An the Goblins will get you if you don't watch Out.''
 The price of admission will be ten cents-old and young alike and it is hoped that the society will take in enough to pay off the balance on the school piano, for which purpose the entertainment is given Two of the numbers willN be pre- scented at the Best Theatre Friday might. The program follows:

AT THE ORPHEO.

Donald Kerr and Kennison sisters, who open at Orpheo today come to Pine Bluff very highly recommended and have been headliners on all bills they have played on this season. Be- low is Q clipping from critic in Fort Worth, Texas:
 "One must beg to differ with the Interstate management, however, in the matter of headliners. Our choice for the top of the bill is the dance sketch of the Kennison Sisters and Donald Kerr. The terpsichorean specialties offered form by far one of the finest dancing acts ever pre- sented here. The three of them are real artists and too eXtravagant praise can not be accorded them. There is nothing in modern dancing that they can not giyp ;you, adopts, at high kicking, Eat save1y conceivable twist and curl, of their art. There is never a lull in their dancing and for every offering they draw roars of applause.
