Instead of trying to convince ad-

don’t the anti editors spend a part

We hear much about the “bitter-
ness” and strife of the present
campaign, but there is no evidence
of such a condition in Teague.
Our people accord to each other
the .right of free expression of opin-
ions, and we think they rather ad-
mire 'the' man who has convic-
tions. We think similar condi-
tions prevail throughout Texas,
and this “bitterness and strife”
business exists only in the imagin-
ation of a few newspaper reporters.

they will not do business in the
State unless they are permitted to
do the State. Let them go. -If
Texas business interests must be
turned over to them, to be preyed
upon at will, let them shake the
dust of Texas from their feet. It’s
time for Texas to as^prt her inde-
pendence, and when any thing or
interest seeks by threat lo extoll
tribute from the people it is time
to kick it out. Texas wants ail of
the honest capital—and capitalists

clination to have her pockets pick-

The old soldiers and hundreds of

there is a place under heaven
where the people are in better hu-

not aware of it. We are blessed

The crusade against the exhibi-
tion of the Jeffries-Jphnson fight
pictures is a move in the right direc-
tion. The exhibition of these pugs
pummeling each other cannot
be uplifting to anyone. It is cer-
tain to be debasing. There is a
more potent reason for their sup-
pression, and that is the effect they
will have on some negroes. Not
on the law-abiding blacks, but on
a class- of worthless ones who may
think that in as much as a negro
has whipped a white man the black
race is now ready to dominate the
whites. Herein is the possibility
of trouble that would mean much
racial animosity, and perhaps cause
bloodshed.

•In Texas today a’mighty issue
is before-t^ie peoples It-is-essen-
tially a moral question. It cannot
be considered from . any>‘- other
standpoint. If is not a matter of
polity,.creed or ddgma concerning
which Christains may diffeT~wfth-
out calling into question the worth
of Christianity.
This issue is the prohibition of
the liquor traffic. Ask yourself
these questions, and determine by
your own answers what youlr^klli-
tude (as a Christian) should be:
Is the liquor business conducive
to good morals?
Does it advance arfd enhace the
moral worth of the community?
Is it an institution that Jesus
would commend or condemn?
May I uphold and defend, and
by my vote, commend an immoral
institution? ,
“Ye are witnesses.” Your an-
swers will determine whether you
are a good or bad witness for the
Lord. If in your, heart you can
say the liquor business is a good
institution; that it makes a man
better,' and Upbuilds phblio morals,
and is something you would com-
mend to your soils and daughters,
then do bo. If, on the other hand,
you find no good in it, then it
should be the subject, of your se-
verest condemnation. . ,
“Ye are witnesses”, and you cari-
not evade the question. If you
remain silent you are giving testi-
mony against the worth of religion
as effectually as tho’ you were out-
spoken in upholding the saloon.
You art testifying to a fact, and
your testimony is the yard-stick by
which the world will measure the
religion you -profess.
I have spoken plainly, even
bluntly, but with all kindness and
charity. My heart is filled with
love for you, my brethren, and I
am praying that your testimony on
this vital moral question will not
compromise the teachings of your
Lord and Master. A vote against
“submission” is a vote for the
perpetuation of the liquor traffic,
and iB testimony against the moral-
izing power of religion.
I shall have no other opportun-
ity-to plead with you. Before an-
other issue of the Advocate shall be
published you will be called upon
to testify before the high court of
the people—the ballot box. What
will be your testimony?—Teague
