UPHOLD THE LAWS.

If the campaign for liquor law en-
forcement and extension Of prohibi-
ton, which is now being conducted in
the south, is not 100 per cent. sue.
cess the fault will rest largely with
it's lukewarm friends.
There is no question that the vast
majority of the people Of this country
are in sympathy with the purposes OF
the movement, but the difficulty lies
in arousing them to the immediate
and pressing necessity for action.
The prohibition fight, contrary to
the opinion of many persons, iclud-
ing a good many prohibitionists,. has
not been won. True, the Eighteenth
Amendment has been ratified by As
states and laws to enforce it eacted,
but the liquor forces have not given
up. They are attacking it from every
possible angle-in the courts, in poll
tics and by widespread propaganda
encouraging it's violation to the extent
that return to the open saloon will
be welcomed by the people as relief
from ''blind tiger" conditions.
The churches of this country are
raising huge sums to carry the gospel
into foreign lands, and at the same
time, the liquor interests, driven from
this country, temporarily as they hope,
are planning to set up their plants
alongside the churches and schools in
these same foreign lands.
Shall these vast sums, which the
people of this country have given for
missionary work, be paralyzed by the
operations of an outlawed traffic from
the United States?
This is a question every law-abid-
ing, law-enforcing citizen should
face squarly in this campaign to COM
bat the liquor forces insidious attack
on law enforcement at home and to
thwart the well laid plans to defy the
law of their own country by continu-
ing their operations abroad.
1t is not merely a question of
whether you are for or against pro-
hibition at home or abroad. It has
gone beyond that stage.
1t is a question of whether you be-
lieve in unfolding the dignity of this
country by enforcing it's laws and
throttling any force that defies it.

Ny Dear Doctor
l am just in receipt of your favor
of the 18th inst. advising that you are
unable to go to Tupelo, and regret
this very much.
l note that you have been unable to
get men and women to serve in your
school districts, but I am sure that if
YOU will keep after them, you will
have your committees organized be-
fore the drive begins. l would sug-
gest that you notify each district
chairman that the committe will only
be expected to canvass their own i'm

lowed, the drive can be completed in

raised without any difficulty.
Please urge Mr.. Tomlinson to send

SO that your people may be advised
as to the necessity for this drive.

NEW ORGANIZATION

Beefsteak; Constitution, Hardy; Refe-
rec, Coach Sullivan. The following
the charter members: Doc Little, jap
George, A. B. Carney, Grip Gordon
Red Ray ,Pinkie HARRISON, Cicero
Hawks, R. D. Kirk, A. Brunson.
Red Ray was elected president, jap
George, vice president; R. D. Kirk
second vice president; Alphabet Car
ney, treasurer, and Grip Gordon, Sec
rotary.
Doctors Little and Gordon were ap-
pointed by the president to act as Of
fetal physicians. The office of sponge
carrier is yet open.
Committees were formed to write
a constitutional strong one, and to
furnish competitors for, the first big
night out Since Knockout is ex-
pected, it is desired the, cotestants
soon get in.
Already the membership has in
creased greatly and as the member

stirring get into the Black Eye Box

The governor has stated that the en-
forcemnt of the National Prohibi-
,tion Act is up to the states them
selves, and therefore we must get
busy and raise the necessary funds to
handle this work. If all of the people
entertain the idea that the passing of
the national prohibition act settled the
prohibition question, the liquor inter-
est would soon be able to bring about
a repeal of this act and to nullify all
of the existing prohibition laws. If
our people are asleep and they certain
ly are not, land they are working night
and day to bring about disrepute
for our laws.
It has been reported by the govern
ment that there are over 5000 illicit
stills in this state and have been adj
vised that there are many of them in
your immediate section. Unless the
Anti-Saloon League is organized and
active it will only be question of a
short time before every county will
be covered with these stills and the
entire state flooded with the "moon-
shine" whisky.
Please call attention to the people
of your county to the fact that while
we have stringent laws against muir
der, robbery, etc., that it is only the
| fact that we have the polio force rady
