cOmfOrted the bicycle and roller skating race heTOes
Who else has begued many railway journeys and

not mention their names probably be-

PROHIBITION IN ARIZONA.

Editor El Paso Herald:
Many stories are afloat with refer
ence TO prohibition in Arizona and the
opposition is vigorously working to
create the impression that the law is
daily growing in unpOpularity. Re
Gently j noticed an article in a prOmi-
nent paper which almost but not quite

however. a few days since TO be IA
VOred with an interview with prOmi-
nent citizen of that state. a man who
was opposed to the law as at present
in effect and he for all time set me
right
According to his statement. the rene
gades from the ranks Of prohibition in
that state are few indeed On the
contrary. il is the boast Of the people
Of the state that they have the only
sure-enough prohibition law in the
United States, prohibiting the sale Of
liquors for all purposes, including
medicinal and sacramento, and. as he
facetiously remarked. mo man has
