'The enemies of prohibition,
and enemies of God and right-
eousness, are saying in Texas, as
elsewhere, that “prohibition
called “Frosty" oponly, and all
the rum sucking gang ia smiling
A drummer told ma that this
“Frosty ” was regular beer.
What 1 want to say to ths pro-
don’t prohibit " Is it not a little j hibition friends of Texas is, that
strange that these law breakers , they should organise a law and
j should suddenly become so in- j order league, or anti-saloon lea-

gentlemen brewers, who have At my home, Beaufort, N. C.,
been violating the law cootie*
ually, suddenly wheel about aud
are anxious for the law they tight
aoharJ to be kept sacred/
Yes, it is true that “prohibi
tion don’t prohioit," and never
did, but this crowd are bent on
violating all the prohibitory laws
and then turn around aud say
“it’s a failure.”
They have a law to prohibit
murder, yet there are reported
twelve murder trials at South
McAlester this week.
You have a State law to pro-
hibit Sunday liquor selling, yet
in San Antonio these hell holes,
called saloons, are open every
Sunday.
Why is it your Governor can’t
enforce law in San Antonio/ He
calls out the military to enforce
law at Austin, and taxes the
State thousands of dollars to
save a brute negro from lynching
who has assaulted and murdered
au innocent girl, yet the saloons
at Sau Antonio have been open
on Sundays for years and mttr
dered many a mother's son, con-
trary to law.
These sons of honest white
workingmen are entitled to as
much consideration as the negro
brute who was hung at Austin
recently.
All this tilk of “prohibition
don't prohibit” from the devils
gang makes me tired.
These same lawless fellows
who stab people through the
hick doers on Sunday, before
their counties voted prohibition,
are now running “clubs.’’

Dallas, Tex., June 25.—A call
for a prohibition county commit-
tee meeting to be hold this after-
noon was made public this morn
ing and created local political in-
terest, as it adds another ticket
to an already animated county
campaign.
Pursuant to the call the
meeoting was held. Former
State Chairman Heath of Rock-
wall and 8tato Chairman Conhi-
bar were among those present;
also State Secretary P F. Paige
of Dallas and Arthur Evedts,
who two years ago ran for lieu-
tenant governor. The meeting
decided to bold primary conven-
tions on July 0 to select delegates
to a county convention to be
held at Dallas onJuiy 10, tc
