Political History
 Of Ben |. Griffin

Some are wanting to know Ben Griffin's history, says the Baptist Advance of Arkansas. As a boy he lost his arm in a cotton gin. The people of his home town, Banner, Miss, helped ot educate him. He was then for time redhot dem- Iocrat. He then became the lrepub-
 ican postmaster at Banner. He then turned to populist and speechi- flied "muchly' over his home coun- ty. Next he migrated to Arkansas. Here he joined the Farmers Union and again speechified muchly, ter minating that with a losing cam paign for a seat in congress. Some what shrivellcd politically he moved from Conway to Little Rock. Here he came nearest fooling this editor and others by his prohibition pro fesson, and broke into the legisla- tlre. His ''profcssments'' fooled some of us prohibitionists; but his lineup was discovered in time to defeat him for speaker of the house In the legislature he supported measures contrary to the moral wei fare of the people. Leaving the legislature he resigned as represen- tative and went back to the Farm CTS Union, featuring and organiz- ing. We have been asked who paid him or how was he paid. Next camo his liquor bill, Act No. 9. Then the Farmers Union got on top of it and left Ben without it's support, but with it's censure on his measure. Now Ben is speechi- flying like he is the only savior, for liquor and liquor liberty in ArSan- sas, and finds some patriotic citi- zen almost everywhere he goes who is ready to meet him. expose his in famous measure and to tell the peo- pie about Ben.

To The Editor:
 I saw today the proof of a circu- lar which is being printed and presume will be circulated broad cast over the state, containing the picture of President Wilson and a copy of his letter of May 1, 1911, written to Rev. Thomas D. Shan non, Newark, N. J., in which the president declares himself in favor of local option, and the argument is being used in this circular that the president is opposed to state wide prohibition.
 This shows the depths to which the liquor people will descend. This letter was written while the presi- dent was governor of New Jersey, and was written to. citizen of Newark, N. J., and in regard to a state where prohibitionists were fighting for local option as the best thing they could get. It was writ ten May 1, 1911, but on July 6, |1911, President Wilson, in answer to a letter written him by E. w. Grogan of Byors, Texas, said:
 My Dear Mir Grogan: You mis- took me if you thought that I was treating your first letter as a com munication of a politician or if you supposed that I was trying in any way to avoid the important question you put to me. The reply l made was made in all sincerity. I believe that for some states statewide prohi- bition is possible and desirable, be- cause of their relative homonegen-

city, while for others I think that statewide prohibition is not prac- ticable. I have no reason to doubt from what I know of the circum- stances that statewide prohibition is both practicable and desirable in Texas. In my reply to you I was only trying to state what I think must always be kept in mind, the wide divergence of conditions which make it impossible to reply to any single question like those of prohib- iting in terms which would fit the whole country. With much respect.
 Cordially and sincerely yours,
 WOODROW WILSON" {"
 There is no conflict between the Shannon and Grogan letters. The difference was in the condition in the two states. Mr. Wilson com mended the movement for local op- tion in New Jersey, but for Texas said, ''I believe that for some states statewide prohibition is possible and practicable. I have no reason to doubt from what I know of the circumstances that statewide prohi- bition is both practicable and de- sirable in Texas
 Both of these letters were in full harmony with local self government Iand also with statewide prohibition. Those who know the history of pro- hibition in any dry state know that the first effort was for local op- Itino, then for total prohibition. The same positions then taken by Presi- dent Wilson would justify favoring local option in Pennsylvania and
