A BIG PROBLEM

SSSl:
Some time ago the Texas Weekly, one of
Ttxas most powerful pub'ications, carried an
article dealing with the condition of Texas
in relation to the liquor and gambling prob-
lem*. The Weekly cited conditions as were
found by the Crime Investigation Committee
of the Texas Senate.
The committee listed 144 counties in Tex-
as where gambling houses are operated un-
molested. It listed an astounding number of
places where liquor was sold and in many of
these places the liquor was being sold by
girls as young as 16 years. Other deplorable
conditions were also cited. The article has
brought forth much interesting comment
from publications in other states. Some of
them are:
Little Rock (Ark) Democrat, "Whatever
the moral to this story is, one fact is certain,
as evidenced by our own efforts to enforce
national prohibition, It can't be done with-
out overwhelming public support, and Texas
is learning that truth anew." The Columbia
(S.C.) State: "And the worst of the situation
is that he public is unconcerned. When the
public is unconcerned about law officers en-
gaging in traffic forbidden by law, the sit-
uation is discouraging. But the Fergusons
are out; what is the new administration do-
ing? Before Texas can go far in applying re-
medies for a truly shocking condition, com-
munities must be aroused to rebel against
the disgrace." Trom Kansas the Coffeeville
Journal says: "Surely the evils cry to high
heaven for remedy. Just assurely the people
thv copimon wealth shall have to mass be-
mMirteform movement if one is launched. "
The Utica Observer-Dispatch (N. Y.) says:
"There is more of this, in fact columns, show-
ing a deplorable, sordid situation in the larg-
est of our group of states. It is not in some
other country, across the seas and detached,
but in our own family. While there may be
nothing other members of the family can do
about a 'black sheep' in the flock, a most im-
pressive and degrading example stands
there as a warning."
With Texas new, James V. Allred, now in
office and putting up a grand fight for the
righting of liquor and gamgling evils, our
best chance to really do something along
these lines is now. The governor can't do it
all By taking a lesson from the experiences
of others we can see that the united effort of
the people is needed. The time for being un-
concerned has passed and it's time for some
. We should let our lawmakers in Aus-
ow how we stand.
