Coming to the Front

Williams is certainly coming to the front. With the great quanti- ty of cement sidewalk that has and is being constructed, and the large number of. new houses that have been built this year, Will jams is certainly coming rapidly to the front. And what is yet more indicative of a growing town, the demand for houses has by no means been supplied We have every reason to expect that more houses will be built during the next year. It will be but a matter of a few years until Williams will double her size. This is indeed a good place to live and to be in business.

THE OPEN FORUM
The Dry Amendment

Section one of the proposed amendment contains the statement that intoxicating liquors shall not be introduced into the State of Arizona under any pretense; and this text is being used to preju. dice churches against the amend. ment by telling members that wine cannot be obtained for Holy Communion. In fact one or more "Wet" Knights of Columbus have written letters to all the Knights of Columbus in the state urging them to vote "Wet" and for them to inform all other Catholics to do likewise. These busy "W t" Knights of Columbus make it appear that wine cannot be had for communion purposes, and are doing their best to get all the Dry Knights of Columbus and all other "Dry" Catholics to vote with them on this pretense. Their movement is false and every voter ip Arizona should know it. It would require an amendment to the Interstate Com merce Laws to prevent shipping in liquors of any description for private use such as sacramental purposes or home consumption. The words introduced into" in the amendment are of no force whatever if the amendment car- ries because the Federal laws will not allow the enforcement of such. The church can get all the wine it needs, so can any individual inn port all the liquor he wants for his home but he will not be allow ed to sell it or give it away con- trary to law.
 You perhaps ask the question why the amendment contains this clause if it is of no force. I can not answer that question as I did not have anything to do with writing the amendment. No fair  minded person should be prejud- iced against the amendment just because it contains a clause that cannot be enforced.
 The "Wets" have absolutely no argument for their cause, and can only hope to win by creating pre- judice. They are doing their best to make the amendment kill itself by pointing out certain clauses in it. They are smothering the truth
 in order to gain vote. If they ss have absolutely no argument for their cause why should you vote with them?
