Viewing the situation as it ap-
pears to me it seems strange
that we cannot depend on every
man and woman of this town to
do that which is right, and
prompted by their own con-
science. | cannot believe that
those who have been under the
influence of the Church and
Christian homes would consent
to darken the doors of any es-
tablishment of this kind, and
cannot we depend on the sense
of moral right in each other that
will impel each individual to reg
lister a VOW never to lend his in
tiuence to a thing of this kind.
Cannot we believe that ninety
per cent of our people will refuse
to spend either time or money
inside of this beer saloon? And
further, cannot we believe that
if this is done that such a joint
cannot exist here?

hiss no authority in the matter of
issuing license for the sale OF
n sar-Beer, and over the recent
action of the police jury, which
by the way we cannot too hearth
ly commend, our sheriff was
forced by mandamus proceed
ingS, to issue these licenses
against his own conviction and to
the everlasting regret of all who
are truly interested in the we'll
fare of our town and Parish.
Licenses were issued and sew
eral joints opened up in Bogalusa
without the knowledge of the
mayor and council of that city
but after the dreadful shooting
which occurred there Sunday
night, which trouble grew it is
claimed, out of the near.beer
traffic, Mayor Sullivan and the
to their honor be it said, council
met with attorneys to take every
legal step possible to prevent the
sale of near-beer in Bogalusa,
They say it will not be tolerated
there and we can trust them to
do all that is possible to prevent
it.
Will our own town be less slow
and positive in regard to the
evil? Verify No!
Our council alone cannot gov =
ern the matter but they did at
their Monday night meeting
pass resolutions disappearing
the bushes and placed "a very
high license on it, but il
the traffic opens up regardless OF
this it remains for the honorable
people of the town and parish tC
kill 1t by an unalterable resolve
to never patronize it under any
excuse or provocation.
Men and boys, will you dc
this? Below is an article by
prominent business man, who is
vitality interested in the issue
even as we all should be, and we
shall be glad to lend our columns
to others who wish to show their
interest in this and all other sub
|jects relating to the welfare OF
our community.
Iobserve that there is an efforI
being made to obtain, from the
town authorities, license to op
crate a "NeAr-Beer" joint in oul
town, and since it appears thai
it is obligatory on the part of the
Mayor to issue license for this
purpose, some are very much ex
ercised over the prospects OF
having such a business operated
here.
This anxiety is not without
foundation, because every mar
who will stop to think and who
has any conception of his duty
as a citizen, and his duty to his
children, knows that nothing
good can come from such a bust,
ness. 1t is to be feared thai
such a place will become the loaf
ing place of our boys and idle
grown ups, and no one is foolish
enough to believe that it will help
them financially, physically, NOR
ally or otherwise.
Because we know the blight
ing effect of such a business,
sometimes wonder at our fears,
when we observe that, to all out
ward appearances, Franklintor
is a town far above the average
in morality. We have here two
churches, and probably ninety
per cent of our people are lden
titled with one or the other. Is
it possible that this fact stands
for nothing, or do we mlstrust
our neighbors and their desire
and inclination to do what is
right?
Viewing the situation as it ap'
pears to me it seems strange
that we cannot depend on every
man and woman of this town tt
do that which is right, and

been using the open style of attack to
a great extent and Saturday downed
