SOUTH, STRONGHOLD OF PROHIBITION,
AGAIN CALLED ON AS TORCH BEARER
IN FINAL FIGHT WITH LIQUOR TRAFFIC
Funds
Into League
Job-World Dry 1890 Aim

TN the early stages Of the fight for
national prohibition the states Of the
south took the lead and have main
tanned it in all the trying years in
which the dry forces have been locked
in death struggle with the forces
behind the liquor traffic in this coun-
try.
AS section the south was the first
to clear itself of the stain Of the liquor
traffic and has been no small factor
in giving its moral and financial sup
port in the successful battles which
other sections of the country have
waged against this traffic and which
definitely becomes outlawed in Amer
lea with the constitutional amendment
Chat becomes operative January 1S.
And now the south is called upon to
take the lead in the Prohibition En-
forcement Campaign under the direc-
ton of e. Y Clarke, of Atlanta, which
comes as logical and absolutely nee
essary result Of the enactment OF pro-
hibition laws, both state and national,
and the companion measures which
aim at their proper enforcement.
"Finish the Job"
Lets enforce prohibition and fin
ish the job" has become the slogan
and the watchword of those in charge
of the campaign to enforce prohibition
In this country. The speed and eff
fectiveness with which this work is
done depends almost entirely upon
the spirit and the extent OF the CO.
operation of those who have made
possible the results already achieved.
The placing of the prohibition laws
and measures for their enforcement
upon the statute books by no means
finished the job. There is still vast
amount of work to be done before
the LIQUOR forces confess defeat and
retire rom the field.
While the saloon has been legislat-
ed out Of business, it is making de-
termined effort to come back, and it
is the purpose of the Prohibition En-
forcement Campaign to see that it
doesn't come back.
The Liquor Propaganda
When the Eighteenth amendment
20 the con5titution was passed we'll
meaning f. nds Of Prohibition said:
Our naticl now is legally dry; the
cause of pro ibition has triumphed
the fight is won and we are through
with it"
The intensive campaign of the liquor
interests to aullify Prohibition is the
answer. Their propaganda organize
ton has been equslied only by that Of
he German government

CURLING the whiskey drinkers
seems to be at double cost. Rev
enue men tell US that taxes must
come because there is no revenue
from whiskey, and the anti sa-
loon people tell us that they must
have money to push the fight
against the whiskey interests.
In our opinion the whiskey pro-
moters will have a doubly hot
corner in Division 2 of the next
world, to pay for the trouble they
have and are causing.

THE LEAGUE AGAIN.

The Republicans have purpos-
ly made the league party quar-
rel within the past year and de-
finitely announce that they wish
to carry it into the field during
the approac hing campaign.
But we fear that the Republi-
can party leaders are making a
mistake when they imagine that
they can recruit full strength by
merely waving their tattered
campaign standard, especially
when such an issue as this is at
stake. Nashville Tennessean.
A party" quarrel. eh? To
our mind it is a national" one
in which the Democratic bunch
which favors the league will be
shown something when voting
time comes. The league as an
issue is hailed with delight by
voters. They are going to snow
under with their votes any party
foolish enough to advocate an
alliance with European hell.
Republicans do not have to wave
a tattered campaign standard
to get results. They have a flag,
the grand old Stars and Stripes,
and the recruits" are already
there, where they have been all
the time.

Even the most casual reader Of the
news Of the day realizes that Prohibi
ton has It's hardest fight ahead. The
liquor traffic Is waging at the polls
in the courts and in the public press
the most desperate and determined
fight in its history.
To those who think America now
is dry" all that is necessary is a
glance around you. Reports are com
ing daily Of the death Of one or more
persons from drinking wood alcohol
and other dangerous connections sold
under the guise of corn whisky, and
the activities of the so-called blind
tigers" were never 80 pronounced in
present time.
Eiihu Root Leads Vets
And this is the very condition that
is sought and is being encouraged by
the liquor interests. They are being
advised by learned and highly paid
counsel, led by Eiihu Root, to use ev-
cry means in their power to make Pro-
hibition a by-word and to make con-
ditions under Prohibition so intolera-
BILE and the violations of the law so
fragrant and the lack of law enforce
ment so notorious that the people will
become Disguised with the situation
and demand return. to the licensed
saloon.
1t is the plan and purpose of the
Prohibition Enforcement campaign, in
so far as America is concerned, to ac-
quaint the people Of this country with
this situation and to open their eyes
and keep them open to the subtle
propaganda campaign which is being
waged by the liquor interests.
They are spreading the report and
encouraging the belief that the Pro
hibition forces now will turn their at
tention to legislation against tobacco,
tea and coffee.
No War On Tobacco
In this connection Judge Nash r.
Broyles, chief justice of the Georgia
Court of Appeals, says:
THE agitation as to prohibition Of
tobacco is camouflage to handicap the
enforcement Of the liquor prohibition
laws. The persistent propaganda by
the National Tobacco League to the eff
feet that the Anti-Saloon League is
backing an anti-tobacco campaign is
entirely unfounded."
The prohibition campaign asks moth
ing more nor less than enforcement
of the Prohibition laws already on the
statute books and the enactment Of
further legislation to strengthen them,

Committee which recently met in

In affairs national and inter-

than one hundred years old. 1t

MUSCLE SHOALS PLANTS
 SHOULD BE OPER ATED

Washington, February 26,-(Special)-- According to Senator Underwood, the sreat problem confronting the republican majorities in Congress is not the tracing of extravagant expenditures in the con structing of the Muscle Shoals plant, or the ascertainnent of the man who is re- sponsible.
 fgrhe plants themselves constitute the problem the senator added. They were constructed at cost of many millions of dollars. They stand there as potential benefactors to the great agricultural sh- terests of the United States. They could be operated In such wisdom as to make the land of the south as fertile as Che valley of the Nile. for their product would be fertilizer of the life-sivihg variety easy and cheap of possession.
 As statesmen. the republicans must act respecting these plants. Will they permit them to remain idle and force the farmer to go without the blessing which is actually in his grasp? Or will they start the wheels turning and permit the blessing to flow?"
