citizens of Marshall present. There should have
been 500 or 1,000. Such an audience would have
given an inspiration that would have heartened
every teacher and pupil. It is not that we do not
appreciate the great work this institution is doing
but it’s just Marshall’s way. It isn’t a good way,
however. Enthusiasm and evidence of apprecia-
tion go far in the building of institutions of
learning as well as any other human activity. The
Morning News proposes to have a big crowd at
next year’s opening and atone for our seeming
lack of interest this year.

It was an old, old, old, old lady.
And a boy who was half-past three;
And the way they played together
Was beautiful to see.
"It can’t be the little cupboard,
Where mamma’s things used to be—
So it must be the clothes-press, gran’ma;"
And he found her with his three.
It was hide-and-go-seek they were playing,

And the boy with a lame little knee;

And the boy who was half-past three.

"Henry W. Grady says of the whiskey traffic:
’’ ‘It is the mortal enemy of peace and order,
the despoiler of men and terror of women, the
cloud that shadows the face of children, the de-
mon that has dug more graves and sent more
souls unshrived to judgment than all the pesti-
lences that have wasted life since God sent the
plagues into Egypt, and all wars since Joshua
stood beyond Jericho. It comes to ruin, and it
shall profit mainly by the ruin of your sons and
mine.
" ‘It comes to bring gray-haired mothers down
in shame and sorrow to their graves.
“ ‘It comes to change the wife’s love into de-
spair and her pride into shame.
• ‘It comes to still the laughter on the lips of
little children.
“ ‘It comes to stifle all the music of the home
and fill it with silence and desolation.
“ it comes to ruin your body and mind, to
wreck your home, and it knows it must measure
its prosperity by the swiftness and certainty with
which it wrecks this world.’

The College of Marshall fourth annual open-
ing exercises were held yesterday morning in Col-
lege chapel. President Humphreys stated that a
greater number of pupils were enrolled this year
.for the opening day than for any previous year.
The faculty has been added to by able instructors
and a most prosperous year is in prospect. A very
encouraging feature this year is that many Mar-
shal! students have been enrolled. It is important
for the success of this institution that the faculty
be able to point to the fact that the people of its
home city appreciate its worth.
Marshall is justly proud of the College of Mar-
shall but this fact could not have been proven by
any interest that was manifested in the opening
on yesterday. There were not exceeding twenty
The Marshall Chapter of the Daughters of the
Confederacy will take action today regarding the
suggestion of The Morning News that Marshall
send every’ old veteran who can go to the reunion
at Houston. The cost will be very small. There
are possibly fifteen of them who can go. The
railroads have placed the fare at one cent per
mile, making a ticket cost a little less than $6.00
each. The Houston people will take care of the
veterans after they get to the reunion but there
are some other expenses of the trip that Marshall
should meet. Possibly a sum of $200 would k
ample. There is not an element of charity in the
proposition, simply a desire to honor those who
offered their lives for the Southern cause. The
plan is to make no inquiry into a man’s ability to
pay, simply’ asking the rich and poor—all heroes
—to be the guests of our people at what will be
to most of them the last opportunity to gather
together this side of the grave.
Let the Daughters of the Confederacy sponsor
I the movement and the money will be forthcoming.

The Morning New? prints herewith a letter 1
from another “Mother” anent the bootlegging
shame that is being carried on here in Marshall
and Harrison county. Saturday night a mother
phoned the editor of The News that her 16-year
old son had just come in drunk. Another mother
in twenty minutes afterwards phoned that whis-
key was being sold out of an auto on a public
street in our city. Another mother living in
the country sent the News word that her husband
came to Marshall Saturday and returned home
drunk with a fruit jar of vile whiskey. She said
that her husband said he could get whiskey from
a dozen sources in the city. Undoubtedly the
most of the whiskey being sold here is of home
still make. This is the opinion of Federal Revenue
Agent Whipple. It’s a hard job to run every il-
licit distiller down, the United States government
has been trying to put it down in the Tennessee
and North Carolina mountains for 50 years. It
takes not only the most earnest work of the of-
ficers but our grand jurors and petit jurors must
do their part. But above all public sentiment
must be insistent.
Here is the letter:
“Marshall, Texas, Sept. 11, 1920.
"Editor of The Morning News.
“I was so glad to read your editorial in The
Morning News of Saturday, the 11th. You are al-
ways on the right side of every moral issue. I
would like to shake hands with “A Mother” in
commendation of her letter to you concerning
“bootlegging”. She says “Our people are slow”.
They are slow indeed. Not even marking time, but
standing stock still, letting the “devil do a pros-
perous business” in making men brutes of them-
selves. Whiskey is here, and I believe our officers
will find, and put a stop to bootlegging. Men
know about it, boys know about it—why do the
officei not know about it, and stop the bringing
of it here? Mothers, I appeal to you, find out for
whom you vote. Do not let friendship have any
weight, but have in view the upright fearless
character of the man who will see that our laws
are enforced. We want officers who are not afraid
