morrow.
It is not our purpose or desire
to bore our readers with the pro-
hibi tion question in mentioning
the matter so much, but we feel
that many friends to the cause do
not realize the importance ef
going to the polls and casting
their vote. There is not a doubt
as to the result if all who are in*
The Mexia News is authority
for the statement that the county
court of Limestone county last
week went after the local option
violators. Several convictions
are recorded to the credit of
County Attorney Wro. Kennedy.
C. J. Sedgewick, a drummer for
a 8t. Louis house, was fined $50
and given twenty days in jail.
Tom Luster, a drummer for a
Corsicana house, was also fined
$50 and twenty days in Jail. H.
Cost, in two oases was fined $25
and twenty days in jail in each
case. Tillman Cotton (colored)
$25 fine and twenty days in jail.
W. H. Teague, J. H. Reeves and
George Wooten were each sen-
tenced to $25 fine and twenty
days in jail. The two drummers,
and Messrs. Toaguo and Reeves
gave notice of appeal, while H.
Cost, Tillman Cotton and George
Wooten accepted their sentence
and were sent to the county poor
farm.
The Mexia paper continues and
says that Mr. Kennedy,the newly
elected county attorney, is mak-
ing it exceedingly warm for the
violators of law in general, but
the local option law in particular.
Everyone who knows Mr. Ken-
nedy, knows him to be unalter-
ably opposed to the local option
law, but he promised the people
if they elected him to the office
of county attorney that he would
be specially vigilant in bringing
violators of this law to justice, as
the people had spoken very em-
phatically in the election that
they wanted the sale of liquor in
Limestone county to cease, and
he proposed to abide the will of
the people. Consequently he is
making good his promise in the
beginning. We say hurrah for
Bill Kennedy! Now let the
people of Limestone county stand
by him in his efforts. An officer

Vote for wives, mothers, sis-
ters and daughters tomorrow.
By voting to return the saloons
to Hill county do you think you
will be voting for your boys, for
home and country, and your
wives, mothers, sisters and
daughters?
The question boiled down, is
nothing more than shall we have
saloons or no saloons? And for
whose benefit? It does not take
a real smart man to answer for
whose benefit.
Do not let there be any ohance
of defeat tomorrow by staying
away from the polls. Every friend
to the cause should be on hand
promptly and help swell the ma-
jority so large that the saloon
people will have no encourage-
ment to make a fight to bring the
saloons back again.

Many Congressmen are smiling |
upon the proposition to increase
salaries: the President’s to $100,-
000 a year, the Vice-President’s
to $20,000, and those of members
of Congress and the Supreme
Court to $10,000. Before such a
bill passes, it will probably cut
through in the middle or there-
abouts. If anything in this line
is done, it should include our
foreign ministers, who are really
underpaid. This has been com-
mented on by a witty Frenchman,
who says that the subjects of
a special Providence in this world
are drunken men and the United
States.

injustice that the archipelago
should be held by an * Amerioan

and yet that its products should

ports. He thinks that everything
grown or made by Philipinos
should be admitted to Amerioan
ports duty free, even including
sugar and tobacco.
