ACT NO 2. is A
DANGEROUS BILL

Mr.. Editor feel Impress
ed to say a few words in the
columns of The Journal in re-
gard to Act No. 2, the most
diabolical scheme the devil ever
devised to SANDER our noble
state. | consider that the para
mount issue in this election.
Yet, | hear some say they had
never thought much about it,
and one man a few days ago
told me he had not even heard
that such a question was to be
voted on.
am not afraid of the defeat
of the law if the people were
informed ON the enormity of
the effects the heinous law
would have on our state. 1t is
the expressed opinion of some
of the best lawyers in the state,
that if it is adopted, any man
can set up a little grog shop
anywhere and go to selling his
rot-gut without any license
from the state or county, which
would at once put a stop to
good citizens coming to Ark
ansas and would invite the
scum of citizens from other
states, which would put Ark
ansas back in civilization at
least fifty years.
The Anti-Saloon League of
the State has put the response
bility on the preachers of all
denominations to hold an all
day mass meeting next Sunday
to discuss this question, to have
a basket dinner and spend the
day discussing the great i'm
portance of defeating the OBJ
noXious act No. 2. Now will the
preachers do it?
was talking with an intel
ligent man on the train few
nights ago who is prohibi-
tionists, and he remarked that
they wouldn't do it, "they are
too lazy" he said. | hope the
preachers will do so andinform
the voters on the subject, and
if they will it will carry the
state so strong for the protec-
ton of our Statewide Prohibi-
ton that the wholesale liquor
dealers and brewers of other
states will never make another
such attempt to try to disgrace
Arkansas.
Every lover of sobriety ought
TO do all he can for the defeat
of Act No. 2 for the sake of his
children and grand children.
am truly yours for State
wide prohibition.

ROBBED OF $158

Calico Rock, Oct. 21.-Ma-
thias Russell, a farmer living
two miles north of here, was
robbed of $158 late Thursday
afternoon by a highwayman,
who asked to ride with him.
The man had seen Russell cash
a check for S158 before start
ing home, it is thought. He met
Russell at the edge of town and
asked to ride. A mile further
out the man suddenly thrust a
pisol in RusselPs face and de-
manded the money.
