PROHIBITION SPEECH
 ES WERE FINE
Continued from page 1

Judge Bowling said that our present laws made it possible to indict whis- key peddlers who used subterfuges as blind tigers do. This law wipes this away, and all that man would have to do to get an acquittal was to claim he loaned it to the buyer, or gave it to him.
 "Who demands the repeal of state wide prohibition?' said Judge CoWl- ing. Not the business men for they claim at Mena, at Little Rock, at H Hal- ena, and other places that business IS better Not the farmers, not the pre- fessional men, not the teachers, the womer or the lodges. The Mas mic lodge had gone so far as ta rule that all members who signed a whiskey petition be expelled The Judge said that it was the whiskey sellers who wanted it. and used the deceitful local self government plea to deceive the voter.
 DuLaney Speaks.
 Hon. A. D. DuLaney, the next pros- CoWling Mr. DuLaney had intended to speak on the propoesd act, but since Judge Bowling had so thoroughly and so forceably covered this in his ad. dress he devoted himself to general remarks on prohibition and on the liquor traffic. He wished that the speech of Judge Bowling could be heard and read in all parts of the state. He felt sure that this act would never meet the approval of the voters nor become a law. He was sure it would not if they understood the vic ious nature of the thing, which was patterned after the Ohio law, in which state existed the hot bed of the whis key business of America. He spoke of the wide spread effects of even To- cal option. Whiskey at Little Rock was spread all over the state causing crime and suffering. It was not a local proposition under any kind of local option No one had denied the legislature the right to pass an anti cigarette bill, an anti-crime of any kind of bill In fact nearly all the laws on the statute books were legis- lative acts.
 I. ". Holmes Speaks.
 Prof l. N Holmes made a telling and Well balanced talk, addressed principally Q the yeure lis main object was to combat au% aF8ume2i -har might b. made. He divided his arguments CT reasons for prohibition into four topics or reasons: Scriptur- al. which he said was abundant and well known; physical, on which he made brief remarks; social evil which was discussed briefly The economic reasons were discussed more at leng- tn. He had statistics from other stat es, which showed increased efficiency and increased production with the per- centage for each state. He hoped that within two years Arkansas would be in position to make statistics of her own which would forever settle the question in this state.
