Prohibition Inevitable

The following clipping from the
daily press shows something OF the
strength and determination Of the
temperance people. The cause is
growing every day:
Washington, Dec 10.-Hosts
OF prohibitionists today stormed the
capitol Two thoussnd men and wo-
men representing #ae Anti-Saloon
League Of America and the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union staged
the demonstration.
They marched in two phalanxes
from the down town district, bear
ing petitions for national prohibition
by a constitutional amendment
1t is estimated that more than
four thousand people packed the cap
Iitol grounds when the marchers ar
rived, singing hymns
Representative Hobson and Sena-
tor Shepard received the petitions,
which were later introduced into
! both houses.
Former Governor Malcolm R. Pat
terson, of Tennessee, was one of the
speakers of the day
The stream damned UP for time
will only come with greater force
and destruction when it does break
over. Public sentiment, for time
may be overridden by our law max
ers, but it only means their greater
destruction, when public sentiment,
as she must, asserts herself. The
whiskey business is doomed.
/ The prohibition sentiment has
made great progress in recent years
and is evidently destined to sweep
/ the nation. 1t is not merely a re-
| ligious and moral issue; it is coming
to be seen more and more that the
saloon is an expensive corruption and
destructive thing.
/ Judging the saloon by its fruits
and by their fruits ye shall know
them-it is the most corrdpting and
destructive force in the land.
The great cause of social crime is
drink. The great cause of poverty
is drink. When / hear of family
4 broken up, | ask the cause-drink
II [ go to the gallows, and ask its
victim the cause, the answer-drink
Then | ask myself in perfect wonder
! ment, why do not men put stop tC
! this bishop Ireland.

Following are some excerpts from
Mullen, of Tampa, at the recent
great convention of the AntiSaloon
forces of the United States in Column
bus, Ohio.
Eve ore going to write here a sec
ond declaration of independence.
And in the language of that immor-
tai document of 1776 We shall charge
as a basis for our course, that King
Alcohol, whom we are renouncing,
has plundered our seas, ravaged our
coasts, and destroyed the lives of
our people, and appealing TO the SUI
preme Judge of the world for the
rectitude of our intentions do in the
name, and by the authority of the
good people OF this nation, solemnly
publish and declare that these Unit
ed States are and of right ought to
be free and independent"
We have tried city and township
Prohibition, and found it good as far
as it goes.
We have tried local option by
counties, but it is like Isaiah's bed
about which he said: For the bed
is shorter than that man can
stretch himself on it; and the cover
ing narrower than that he can wrap
himself in it." Local option by
counties is good as far as it goes
bur it doesn't go far enough.
We have tried statewide Prohi-
bition, and with all the combined
powers of ill-gotten gains striving tc
discredit it, and the conspiracies Of
rum-bossed politicians to encompass
its defeat, it stands to-day, as far a:
| i has gone, the greatest triumph Of
| the twentieth century for the de
thronement of evil and the establish
ment of civic righteousness.
We are now beginning TO shout
! for national Prohibition, and We are
going TO shout right in the direction
of Washington.
The martyrdom OF an ex-United
/ States senator and others who have
given their lives for the temper
ance cause, has awakened the PEG
/ pie OF this country TO a conscious
ness Of the lengths to which the liz.
uor forces will go in trying to check

THE TROLLEY.

The tax of five mills voted two
years ago for the Southwestern
Traction Co., expired on the last
day of October. The Company,
we understand. allowed the time
to expire, because Of the difficulty
then. to secure the money to build
the road.
The tax voted has expired and
the $3.50 deposited here and the
1926 deposited in Breaux Bridge
were also forfeited.
: We now learn that the Com
pany is again coming before our
people, submitting a proposition
to build the road in a very sho' t
time il the same five mills tax is
voted in their favor and that
they will, as a matter of good
faith deposit a forfeit Of double
the one that was deposited two
years ago, and just forfeited.
Conditions are not very fav-
orable for our people to impose
npon themselves such heavy tax
but the matter is being discussed
by our people and we have heard
of very little opposition SO far,
our people all realize the de-
pressed conditions. but they real!
ixe our lack of railroad and trav-
cling facilities. Our town and
country are just as good if not
better than many other sections,
but with the poor railroad facil-
tiles it q hard matter to get here
and as hard to get out. Travellers
70 st. Martinville have to speho
most Of their time at Cade wait
ing for the one train each way.
1t is matter that must be seri-
0usly considered. The tax is
heavy at the time that we are
least able to pay it. but on the
other hand. don't we feel the
benefit that this town and the
country would derive from the
trolley system that would place
us in close and direct touch with
the main lines Of the Southern
Pacific and the Frisco.-St. Mar

TROOPS RUSHED TO NACO TO
HOLD MEXICANS BACK.

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Presi-
dent Wilson, after a brief discus
sion with his cabinet today, di-
rected Secretary Garrison to or
der sufficient troops to Naco.
Ariz., to handle any emergencies
that may arise there in connec-
ton with the firing acrcss the
Mexican border from Mexican
territory.
Secretary Garrison later an
nounced that he had ordered
Brig. Gen. Tasker II. Bliss to
start for Naco with three bat
teries Of field artillery and await
further orders.
No cavalry in addition to that
already patrolling the Arizona
border, has been ordered to the
international line, according to
Mr.. Garrison.
The secretary declined to dis
cuss what he termed "the dipio-
matte side" Of the case, referring
inquiries to the state department.
Secretary Bryan had retired
when the army orders became
public, but it is known that to-
days action followed the ex-
change of kilograms between the
federal government and Governor
Hunt of Arizona, in which the
latter described the firing from
the Mexican factions across the
line as a serious menace to resi-
dents Of Arizona.
It is understood that when the
kilograms from Governor Hunt
were laid before the cabinet, the
president also directed Secretary
Bryan to transmit warning
through American consuls to
both Mexican factions fighting
near the boundary that firing into
American territory must be dis
continued.
