RESENT PROPAGANDA AGAINST
 PROHIBITION AMENDMENT

The propaganda being conducted by the New York World against the adoption of the prohibition amendment is being resented by the press and peo- pie of the south. Prohibition is a fact and on longer theory in the South, and the wact that it has swept the great West and made great inroads upon the entrenched liquor interests of the North and East proves that it is not wholly provincial in its tend ency. The World is openly charging that Democracy has been betrayed by the South," and that prohibition il. new sectionalism that the South and West is seeking to impose upon the North and East.
 The yelled threat is made that eff the South is determined to go ahead with this insensate policy, then the Southern Democrats will have again taken themselves out of the Demo- cratic party and must abide by the consequences, whatever these may be. The world even raises the bogie of the 14th and 18th amendments, and adds that "If the South is determined to have a centralized government that regulates the personal habits of the American people, it must accept a centralized government that regulates negro franchise and all that pertains thereto" sts
 In the face of history, the Worlds charge of Southern domination of the present Congress" would be amusing if it were not a serious re- fiection of the attitude that seems to be assumed by those. who are thus making a last despairing effort to re- tain the power of the saloon, distillery and brewery interests under the old spacious guise of personal liberty" The time-worn threat of reduc- tion in the representation of Southern Democrats continues to be made, by the World and its followers, but it frightens no one. The prohibition amendment merely furnishes a pre- text for hauling out the old skeleton to leer its bony jaws toward the peo- pie of the South.
 Prohibition, national as we'll as local, is inevitable, and the Pulitzer interests are deceiving themselves and doing the whole country, once more strongly united in the bonds of com- mon purpose, irreparable injury by , this bald attempt to stir up sectional prejudices and animosities.
 Can they not reade the handwriting on the wall?
