Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, Dec. 31.-The worm has
begun to turn-the worm Of the still.
At last the prohibition enforcement
officers of the country have adopted
'iss most effective means of enforcing
the Eighteenth Az--S-,lnent. Hitherto
they have devoted ttheir attention to
the makers and the rsellers, of intoxi-
cants. Now they haytr started a cam
paign against the hIyers. In conse-
quence thousands of otherwise good
citizens are shaking In their shoes for
fear Of being revealed as the purchas-
ers Of Outlawcd liquor.
Lists of boOtlcggcrs 'customers-Or
Booze Who" lists are beginning to
make their appearance throughout the
country. Some have already been pub
lishcd in Arkansas, the first at New
port, including some Of the most pro-
minent citizens Of the community and
even the son Of the sheriff. Similar
lists are said to he in preparation and
the lightning may strike In Little
Rock almost any time.

The Bible

This book contains the mind of God,
the state Of man, the way of salvation,
the doom Of sinners and the happiness
of believers. It's doctrines are holy,
it's precepts are binding, it's histories
are true and its decisions immortal.
Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe
and practice ii TO be holy. IL contains
light TO direct you, food TO support
you and comfort and cheer you. II Is
the travellers map, the pilgrims staff,
the pilots compass, the soldiers sword
and the Christians charter. Here
paradise is restored, Heaven opened and
the gates of hell disclosed. Christ is
it's grand subject, our good it's design,
and the story of God it's end. II
should fill the memory, rule the heart
and guide the feet. Read it slowly,
frequently, prayerfully. II is a mine
of wealth, a paradise of glory and a
river of pleasure. II is given you in
life and will be opened at the judg-
ment and he remembered forever. II
involves the highest responsibility, re-
wards the greatest labor and condemns
all who trifle with its holy contents.-
Christian Leader.
Pocahontas star herald., 1924-01-04

These lists have been compiled from
information furnished by bootleggers
and mOonshiners who have been con-
victcd and from other sources avail
able TO the prohibition officers. II is
expected that the authorities have
literally thousands of the names of
who have thought ii no vlo-
latiOn of the law, or not much of a
violation, TO buy in a candestine way
and at an exhOrbitant price the stuff
that is prohibited by the constitution
of the United States. The apparent
disregard of the authorities for the
purchasers of booze has emboldened
many to such an extent that they have
purchased literally Of the con.raband
article.
Those interested in the enforcement
Of the prohibition laws have insisted
that the purchaser is as much viola
tor as the maker or the seller, for if
there were no purchasers, none would
be made or sold. II has been insisted
tha- the law should be made to apply
as vigorously 70 the SNUG, respectable
citizen who buys the stuff as to the
farmer who seeks to dispose of his corn
crop in this manner or the alley sneak
who lies in wait for his victim with
his bootlegs filed with TASKS of poi
son. II may he that the government
has been carefully laying its trap all
this time and is just now ready to
spring it.
The liquor business will not Ike
broken mp" said a great Evangelist in
a recent sermon in Little Rock, until
iails are built big enough to hold every
buyer Of the damnable stuff as well as
the men who cOnmercialize their viola
tion of the constitution and laws Of the
country"

When Pres b. f. Bush of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad issued an edict,
at the request of the Arkansas Ad-
vancement Association, prohibiting the
sale of books upon the trains of this
system which made light of Arkansas,
he meant it. For a considerable time
none of the Objectionable books were
offered, but after Pres. Bush became
chairman of the board, and other
changes were made in officials, news
butchers evidently thought the coast
was clear, for some of them began to
boot leg" On a Slow Train Through
Arkansas, and such publications. The
business fiourished until it was report
ed TO the Arkansas Advancement
Association, who in turn informed
the officials of the railroad. The re-
suit is that several news agents were
discharged and again it became impos-
sible to secure the Objectionable publi-
cations on any of the trains passing
through Arkansas.

All Arkansas is interested in the
prospect for a pennant winning team to
represent Little Rock in the Southern
league in 1924. President Allen de-
clares that the team finishing ahead
Of Little Rock will win the pennant.
President Allen has already as strong
a pitching staff as there is i'm the
league. He is satisfied with his two
catchers. He has two infielders and
one outfielder. The balance Of the
team, unless one of the youngsters
brought in for trial makes good, Will
be secured from major league teams.
President Allen has been promised the
pick from recruits of two major league
clubs that are not TO be kept by them.
This rs the first year President Allen
has every taken optional players, but he
insists that Little Rock is after another
pennant and will land it unless there
is a mishap to his machinery.

The people of Arkansas, as a rule
are adverse to extra sessions of the
legislature. But there is no question
confronting the state which would
more effectively enlist their sympathy
and support, and in their minds Justify
an extra session, more than that of
making adequate provisions for the
schools of A-kansas Less persuasion
would he required and fewer argu-
ments needed to secure the approval
of the people than for any other cause.
There is nothing which brings our
governmental institutions closer or
which insures more immediate and
direct results from our taxation than
our system of popular education. Much
of the work has already been done in
the minds of the people, who are ever
ready to meet any legitimate demands
made upon them to insure full and
equal opportunity for their children.
Il. Robinson of PocahOntas has ex-
pressed the opinion Of thousands in
the following paragraph:
Ii Governor McRae, the grandest
old gentleman that ever graced the
governors chair, can give our sons
and daughters better educational ad
vantages by calling an extra session
Of the legislature | am for him regard
less Of cost"
The people have never hesitated
when it comes to a question of paying
taxes for their schools. Ignorance and
illiteracy are the dearest things that
parsimOny can buy. Arkansas has
come to a parting of the ways: which
will you take?

Political gossip about the state capt.

holiday season is that State Treasurer
Joe Ferguson is contemplating enter
