COLONEL PLEASANT DENIES
STATEMENT BY BARRET
ABOUT HIS POSITION.

made the following statement rel
ative to charges brought by Mr.
Barrett in his speech at the Crane
opera house
81 understand that at the Bar
ret meeting last night the chair
man stated that ! had said in my
telegram to DR.. Munday, secre-
tary Of the Anti-Saloon League
that, if elected governor, | would
veto any bill to submit to the vot-
ers of the state the question of
statewide prohibition. My tele-
gram contained no such state
ment. What ! said on this ques-
ton was as follows:
" Should | be elected COVER
nor and the legislature pass a
statewide prohibition bill | would
veto it. My reasons will be Civ
Ell fully and frankly in my plat
form and public speeches..
"This refers simply to statu-
tory law that would attempt di-
rectly, in itself, to make the
whole state dry, and does not re-
fer to constitutional amend
ment submitting the proposition
to vote Of the people. which lat
ter is the only method by which
the people could vote on the CUES
ton.
1.-The gentleman tried to make
me appear as an autocrat who
would override the will of the
majority of the people of the
state. | am a Democrat and be-
lieve in democratic government,
which means the rule of the peo-
pie. and, if | did not subscribe to
such theory Of government, l
would not to-day be asking your
support in the coming election.
1.-The legislature passes many
laws which the governor must
either approve or veto, as that
is his only prerogative. These
laws do not always represent the
views Of majority of the people.
Suppose the next general assem-
bly, should be against prohibition,
as the present legislature is. and
should enact law destroying
ocal option in everv parish in
he state, and provide for the
licensing of saloons everywhere in
he state, as it has the power to
10 under the present constitu
ion then would any one think
hat |, as governor, should sign
UGH a bill simply because a ma
ority of the legislature passed
t? No, | would veto it as soon
S presented.
Il hold that it would be Just
S wrong in principle to sign an
rbitrary dry bill forcing pro- ,
ibltion upon large portion of
he wet territory of the state as
would be to sign an arbitrary
-et bill LICENSING saloons in the
ry territory.
"By common consent, we have
the past accepted the Demo-
ratic doctrine Of local option,
aving the people of the parishes
settle this question for them
Ives on the vote of the people
the parish to be affected there
Y, without one portion of the
ate debating to another against
$ will. "
Such a statewide prohibition +
il would not only be purely au- +
cratic and arbitrary. but it =
ould also be unconstitutional.
'cause the licensing of saloons
n be regulated. but not pro-
blted by legislative enactment.
very lawyer in this state knows
is to be correct. and that it h
ould be the duty of the cover f;
II to veto any such unconstitu- p
NAL enactment. v

THE SEVEN RUNGS ON THE
LADDER TO FREED
FOR FARM TENANTS.

The one big point to emphasize
in conclusion is that more PEI
sonal property, gradually ac
CURED, is the way to home-oWner
ship. When a tenant ha, saved
until he has good tools, GOOD
hogs, good COWS, and work stock,
he has reached a point where I've
is in hundred fold better posi-
ton to get land than then tenant
who lacks these things-and GER
tainlv tenfold surer to keep the
land after he does get it. In
fact. for the renter who has moth
ing at all except common work
ing tools, the seven steps on the
ladder to independence would
seem to be
1. A garden.
2. Poultry.
3. Pigs.
4. Cows.
5. Horses.
6. Better machinery.
7. Land.
The first four are necessary for
self-support, for no matter how
industrious a tenant may be, or
how economical in other ways,
there is absolutely no ray of hope
for him if he regularly tries to
buy a living from store. He
will be nothing but slave work /
ing for the supply merchants,
with the fruits of his labors go
ing to them as surely as a Negroes
profits went to his master in ante
bellum days. There's a memoir
able and Illuminating statement
in the bulletin, "Studies in Farm
Tenancy in Texas" when some
BODY says he has always noticed
that the tenant whose wife is ga
butter and chicken woman" is
he tenant whose wife is "a but
ter and chicken woman" is the
'ne who ultimately buys a farm.
