Are you a man or are you willing to
vote for a bride?
But as far as the argument Of IL
cense money paying the taxes Of the
town that claim is a fraud. The in
sane we care for in our state insti-
tutions, the criminals that we have
to prosecute and punish, and the poor
we have to support, are, in almost
every case, the ~by-products of the sa-
loon. You do not receive money from
the saloons, but in the long run, you
pay for the privilege of the saloons,
by having TO support the products OF
the liquor business.
The money that has been going
out Of Tucumcari for booze, and that
will go as long as the saloons are in
business, could have gone, and could
go, for groceries and meat, for shoes
and clothes, and for houses and lots.
Stop the leak and you will find that
the money, which might have gone
for liquor, is going into other and
Legitimate lines Of trade.
The saloon man will tell you that
there will be boot-legging. OF course
there will be, unless you keep the
right kind Of officers on the job, but
officers that will inforce the law can
keep down illegal liquor selling, like
they prevent horse thieving and muir.
der. Every 10Y and then a man will
commit murder or steal a horse, but
no man is such an idiot as to advocate
the licensing of murderers or horse
thieves. Apply the same logic to the
infamous liquor traffic.
The death knell of the saloon traffic
has been sounded. Every month sees
an advance for prohibition. You, men
men of Tucumcari, have a chance to
lead. Will you wait to be forced into
the dry column by some future state
or national legislation, which is bound
TO come, or will you show your man
hood and count for the right now, that
you have the chance?
Remember that if you vote for the
saloon you vote for all the dirty
deviltry that liquor does. You cannot
dodge the issue or try to hide behind
any fictitious claim Of the saloon men.
You, as a man, vote for all the hell's
work that the saloon does. II you vote
for the saloon, you aught to be willing
to let your own boy become a drunk
ard, for you are voting for some other
mans boy TO be such. A mar would
be a dirty hound TO vote drunkenness
into anothers home while he did not

CIGARETTE OR SALOON?
WHICH DOES MOST HARM?

Editor of Tucumcari News
Dear Sir:-
/ noticed in the paper that you
have reserved "a column for anyone
who wishes to write. AS / was COM
ing from the picture show one even
ing last week, in front Of the drug
store, ! saw a half dozen boys, rang.
ing in age from nine to fourteen years
all smoking cigarettes.
| would like to ask which hurts the
school boy most? Smoking cigarettes
which weakens his mind and body, or
looking at the saloons?
While the saloons help to pay to-
ward his education and he cannot buy
intoxicating liquor until he is II years
old (if the law is enforced) when he
is then a full grown man. He should
then have manhood enough about him
to use his good senses and best judg-
ment toward the drinking Of booze.
Our presidents and all Of our great
men were brought up in towns and
cities where there were saloons (and
lots of them, too). 1t is our mothers
of today who want TO go to the polls
and vote, who want to get on an equal
standing with the men. The mother
cannot raise her family and do it
justice, and take a mans place in the
world.
While Tucumcari is noted as one of
the best towns in the west why should
we bring in the bootlegger. There Is
already one b%ootlegger up for trial
this term of court, with seven saloons
lending their assistance to keep out
that class of citizens. What will it
be if the saloons are voted out. IL
will take every CEN the city can dig
and scrape up to keep out the boot
logger. The state Of Oklahoma can
not do it. l don't see how Tucumcarl
can.
Very truly yours ,
Margaret M. Lee

THE SALOON QUESTION
FORMER TUCUMCARI PASTOR
URGES OLD FRIENDS TO LINE
UP AGAINST SALOONS
Pennington, Mo-, Aug. 6, 1t

Pennington, Mo-, Aug. 6, '15
To the Tucumcari News,
Tucumcari, New Mexico.
Some of the happiest years of my
life were spent in Tucumcari as pastor
Of the Presbyterian Church there, and
| have always followed the growth
and development of Tucumcari with
peculiar interest, and the other day
l was glad to learn that there was a
movement on foot to eliminate the
saloons in your city.
/ want to urge my old friends in
Tucumcari to line up in this effort
to vote out the saloons, / am against
the saloons for the saloon is the pro-
life cause of crime. When | was In
the West a Judge told me that he had
eve had a case of murder in his
court that could not be traced directly
or indirectly TO liquor, and my exper-
fence with men who have committed
crimes has shown me that his state
ment was founded upon facts. l am
against the saloon for liquor e
license and license is not liberty. Lii
cense means blood-letting, the in
fringment on others rights and the
committing of numberless unmention-
able sins. l am against the saloon
because liquor Injuries the home, de-
stroys manhood and takes life.
There is not a single argument in
favor Of the saloon traffic. The saloon
men attempt to make a big Ease out
of the money they pay in for their
licenses, but their argument is an in.
suit TO any fair minded American.
They ask US 10 sell our vote for a
certain amount Of money. In other
words, if l will vote for their contin-
uance they will help me TO pay my
taxes. II any Of you are disposed to
be influenced by this argument, please
estimate how much is paid in for IL
censes, divide it by the number of
peope in town, and you will see how
little money it takes to buy your vote
and how cheap you would be to sell
out your vote TO the liquor interests.
