DEMOCRATIC PROHIBITION

The coming Democratic convention will
be rent by Prohibition as Edwards the New
Jersey "gov'' plans to hit it from above,
and give it softening of the brain, that it
no longer can remain, on duty in the states
and towns saving homes from drunken
clowns. While Prohibition has done we'll
yet Edwards wants it sent to hell, and
thrown in never-dying fires to satisfy the
evil ires of those who want to sell more
booze to get the "mon' to buy fine shoes
But Prohibition has a man, who has never
rushed the can and it's his plan to be on
hand, when Edwards paws the golden sand,
and he's friend Of Temperance Ann and
bears the name of Billie Bryan Now the
state from whence the hero halls is just as
dry as pine fence rails, for many, many
years ago, it told old Booze he had to 60,
and statewide Prohibition lead, the bar

time he s slept in peace and not disturbed

THE PASSING THRONG

LII was some ten years ago, IL L make no
mistake when l was running paper known
as The Republican, that Tillman Smith, one
of the Newcastle colored mine workers, left
the mines owing me $500 for my paper.
Years came and went and so far as I knew
Tillman Smith no longer lived, but the other
day he hailed me on the street and as soon
as he had greeted me he said, 81 owe you
two dollars and I am going to pay you
and in addition l am going to give you an
extra dollar for interest," That it was
the veritable "clap of thunder from a clear
sky . would have sworn, but | thanked the
long lost man and said to him, "you are one
Of the few, if any such.'' I felt good all day
from the effects Of meeting the lost man, but
when [ got home that night [ found two
letters awaiting my arrival, both from preach
ers, who had been receiving the paper for
three years or more and each Of them re-
fused to pay, and. furthermore stop the
paper While Tillman Smith had never
been put down as a torn down sinner" yet
he had never been looked upon as saint
but in this instance in good deeds he had
the two preachers skinned two ways for cleo
ton.
That call meeting to which l was invited
last Wednesday evening, met on record time
and soon got down to business. H. Alfred
Lewis was elected president, G.. B. Miller
secretary, and W. II. Banks treasurer. A
committee was named to work out something
along the line those present spoke, which
committee will meet next Sunday afternoon
in the office of the Douglas Apartments
There never was greater need for committee
or organization to try to remedy certain
evils SO far as the cOlored man and this
community are concerned, and 1 trust per-
feet harmony will prevail and all work
like Heck to accomplish the desired end.
The late election proved to be veritable
whirl wind and Caldwell was elected by an
overwhelming majroity Oliver Erickson
once more won out and that, too, in spite of
strong opposition. While his election could
not be put down as Triple Alliance vic
tory, as he has on PRIOR election occasions
just as signal victories, when there
existed no such thing as Triple Alliance
but aEricksons victory was the only ray
Of hope the Alliance got out of the mixup
The defeat Of A Lou Cohen was great sur
prise to his supporters and admirers and
many have been the regrets that have been
expressed at his defeat. Phil Tindall may
not have done much running some years
ago, when he wanted to be corporation
counsel, but he "sho got there with both
feet up' last Tuesday, by beating his near
est rival 10000 votes. Taking it all in all
the election contest had most pleasing end
ing.
