Another question of prime impor-
tance to be voted on Saturday is that
of submission, A devilish effort has
| been made to confuse the minds of
the voters on this question, and some
people are even now laboring under
| the impression that the question to
be voted on is state wide prohibition.
What we are really going to decide
in the Saturday primary is whether-
of not the legislature shall give us
the privilege to vote on prohibition.
Submision means just this, the sub-
mission of the prohibition question to
Mackensen the people. If submission carried we
probably will vote on prohibition, next
year. It is the duty of every demo-
crat to vote, and ,he should be broad
enough to vote for submission. If any j season?

The political campaign is drawing
to a close, and many of the candi-
dates are having one chill after anoth-
er. That is why We never went into
politics; our tender feelings could not
stand the strain. But we prefer our
. care free, life, where we can write our
pieces in the paper and then go home
with a sense of peace as our portion
and sit;down and take our choice be-
tween soft peaches, luscious figs, canta-
loupes, watermelons, and soforth until
we can go no further. Politics is all
right, but too many fellows have a
say. In this other game we are the
entire party.
If the United States should throw
a protecting army in the Northern
half of Mexico, forcing the bandits
and anarchists and cut throats south
of their line, and then say to the
peaceful people of Mexico you go to
work and we will guarantee you* pro-
tection and safety from the ruffians,
and would see that those who waited
to work could do so and provide them
with food Until they could make some-
thing, for themselves, don't you have
ah idea Uncle Sam could make some
new friends south of the Rio Grande?
And this seems to be the only way
out. ‘ '
