The people of Ozark and vicin- ity will have an opportunity Thursday, February s, to hear Rev. Sam Small in the Court House on National Prohibition.
 Rev Small, editor, author. and lecturer. is classed by many as one of the most brilliant public speakers the Southern States nave produced. For the last few years he has devoted all of his time to the elimination of the saloon.
 Rev. Small has great hopes for the future of Arkansas under the bone dry laws which has recent ly become effective. His mes- sage presenting a queer mlxtu of pathos, humor and real South ern oratory win be an inspiration to every man and woman in and near Ozark.
 A citizens committee made up of prominent Ozark citizens will have charge of arrangements. Among these are Judge D. L. Ford. A, +. Treadway, J. E. Bryan. Dr. Blackburn, and Rev. J. T. Donnell.
 The meeting is free. Everyone cordially invited to be present. Be sure and attend this rare treat and bring some friend with you.

Break Diplomatic Rel-
 ations With Germany

President Wilson announced to Congress Saturday that he had severed diplomatic relations with Germany, because the German government had notified this government that she would re- sume the indiscriminate sinking of neutral vessels caught by her submarines within a certain zone around her enemies.
 The United States insists that the vessels be warned and the passengers and crews be placed in a place of safety before the ship is sunk. This is the sub stance of their dispnte.
 A diplomatic break between two powers of equal rank has always been followed by war in the past. but in this case it can possibly be avoided though it looks like war at present.
 The big German-American pa- pers are rallying to the Pres ident. which shows the solidity of our nation. and disproves the assertion that this great body of our citizens are disloyal.

Still After Pruiett.
Denning, Ark. l, 2I, 19tt Editor of Spectator.
 Ozark. Ark.

DenlliuS, Al h.' l, -'' Editor of Spectator,
 Ozark, Ark.
 After reading an article in the Spectator some time back, wr1t- ten by Rev. Pruiett in answer to some questions asked by J. C: Logan of Oklahoma, l would like to ask him some questions, just for information.
 First: Rev. Pruiett stated that Adam was not the first of the human race, but goes on to say that the human race was all engulfed in sin and death by the transgression ot Adam and Eve, and if Adam had been cut off without a Redeem CT. then death would have end ed all. and man would nave been no more. Now, l would like to know of Rev. Pruiett what effect this would have had on the Pre-Adamites. Did the sin and the death brought in by Adam extend back to them?
 Second: Did those who lived prior to Adam from whom Cain received his wife, ever sin and die. As you said no sin oI death was in the world prior to Adam or the transgression of Eve.
 Third: As the Devil is fellow Angel, what devil caused the Devil to fall?
 Fourth: AS the Devil lived in Heaven, that is the Heaven where the angels live, which are evidently angels of God, how did he manage to get there since we are told no unclean thing can enter there. Now since heaven seems to have generated the Devil, for every thing which God made was good, is it not possible that the same condition may produce the same results again, and does not the word of God sup port our premises-Ecclesias- tes 1-9
 1 Fifth: Would like to know which one of the Devils is the older. the one who caused the Prince of the Power of the AiI to sin or the one who fell out of Heaven that caused Adam and Eve to sin?
 Sixth: Since you directed oui mind to science, I would like tC have a scientific answer, since there can be no effect withou, a cause. and since God has cer- tified to us in His Bible (Gen lst chapter) that everything which he made was good and very good. I would like tC know what cause caused the Devil. You cannot with any degree of justification reply that He is only a principle since you have appraised us that He is an angel.
 l am not asking these ques- tions for controversy bul solely for information.

Our Cambridge contemporary, the
1ndependent-Press, is mistaken when
it asserts that the new auto license
law, which goes into effect next Janu-
ary, raises the amount from $3.50 for
three years to $500 per year. It is
only $500 for the three year period,
commencing January 1, 1913. It ought
to have been $500 per year, and would
if certain members Of the legislature
had done their duty. Why they didn't
do their duty is matter that has
never been satisfactorily explained to
the writer, and he eagerly sought in
formation on the subject. Reluctantly
we are forced to-bel1eve that some of
our legislators are easily persuaded
when the right kind of arguments are
used.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1917-07-12

Gore, the blind Senator from Okla
homa, always consistent prohibition
ist, takes the position that this is not
the proper time to attempt to force
a bone-dry prohibition measure
through congress. In an interview he
is quoted as saying: II am for pro-
hibition, everyone knows that. But
am afraid Of this proposition. I am
inclined to think that it constitutes a
dangerous tampering with the psych-
ology of many millions of our people.
In the great cities there are many who
drink light wines and beers. It would
be dangerous to make them discomfort
ed with this war because it deprives
them Of what they want. In that
sense I think the time is particularly
inauspicious for radical prohibition"
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1917-07-12

"War First; Prohibition an Incl
dent" Such is the caption of a brief
but pointed and timely editorial in the
Minneapolis Tribune--a newspaperthat
is favorable to national prohibition
from which this excerpt is taken:
1.-The prohibition leaders are denounc-
ing the President and everybody else
who ventures to suggest that winning
the war is just now more important
than absolute national prohibition.
The average prohibition politician has
no proper sense of values or proper
lions. The President is anxious that
no extraneous issues or interests get
in the way Of war measures and that
war-times be not selected to impose
upon any element Of the population un-
usual restrictions unless the exigencies
Of war call for it. This is a time when
unity is not to be risked by restraints
or prohibitions not prompted by the
most vigorous prosecution Of the war;"
