“THE VOTE ON THE POOL HALL BILL.”
The following resolution was passed recently hy
the Ulster Temperance Council, assembled in the
Y. M. C. A. building in Belfast, Ireland:
That we, the members of the Ulster Temper-
ance Council now assembled, desire to convey
our warmest congratulations to the members
of the Anti-Saloon League of America on the
magnificent victory they have secured for Pro-
hibition in America, and to express our great
satisfaction at their decision to come to the
assistance of the Prohibition forces in other
At a recent session of the Presby-
terian Ministerial Association of Phila-
delphia, a resolution was passed call-
ing upon the United States Attorney
General “to prosecute as traitors all
persons who attempt to organize re-
bellion against the enforcement of the
national prohibition amendment to the
Federal Constitution by such means as
strikes, etc.” Reference was made to
the “no beer, no work” movement.
The Detroit ship-builders demonstrated the value
of fresh milk as against beer. Food specialists
assert that pure milk is the most perfect food. It
nay well be so, because it is made in nature’s own
laboratory. A big brewery concern in Eastern
Pennsylvania is arranging its plant for the dairy-
ng business. The health experts say that multi-
udes of children die every year for the want of
nilk, and it is well known that many a nickel that
has gone for beer might have bought a pint of
nilk for the baby. How can any man with a soul
fail to see the debt that humanity owes to a prohi-
bition that turns a great life-destroying enterprise
nto a life-saver?

In our issue of February fifteenth under the
above title, we gave a list of those who voted for
the Williams regulatory bill instead of the pool hall
bill, as the pool hall bill passed to engrossment.
We were slightly in error. The vote was taken
when Williams sought to limit the operation of
the pool hall bill to towns of 20,000 population and
less. In that editorial we made mention that A.
H. King, of Throckmorton; W. D. Lacy, of Nor-
mangee. and T. J. Beasley, of Brady, voted against
the pool hall bill. This was correct, but later
when the issue was scquarely for or against the
pool hall, all of these gentlemen cast their vote
for the bill prohibiting pool halls in Texas. We
take pleasure in giving them the benefit of the
publicity of-this vote just as we gave publicity to
their previous vote.
We believe it is our function to turn on the light
and let the public know exactly what their legisla-
tors do at Austin on all moral questions. We
were surprised at their first vote—we were pleased
at their last vote.

One would suppose that the United States
Brewers’ Association got sufficient odium in the
investigation by the Senate Committee of the
Judiciary to keep it out of sight at least until peace
is declared. That it has taken steps to defy the
Constitution of the United States shows that it
is as hostile now as it was when it was spending
money to help the Pro-German attack on the Anti-
Saloon League.
VIRTUAL REBELLION AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT
GIVES A NEW INSIGHT INTO GERMAN
“KULTUR” AND ITS EFFECT
A BACK NUMBER.
Why not turn the corner saloon into a com-
munity play house when the law effects the
closing of these gathering places?” asks Miss
Hazel Mackaye, director of the department of
of pageantry and drama of the National Young
Women’s Christian Association. Well, if this
were done, the holier-than-thou folks and the
long-haired men and short-haired women would
immediately, loudly and vigorously holler for
a special session of the Legislature to pass
laws to put the little playhouse out of busi-
ness.
The foregoing is from the Riesel Rustler. We
give it not for what it is worth, but to call atten-
tion to the mental caliber and the lack of moral
sensibility which it shows. In its way it illus-
trates the blindness of those who will not see. and
the dullness of those who are unable to think,
and the callousness of those who have no sym-
pathy. It has taken three-quarters of a ceutnry to
educate some of our people so that they can see
and think and feel. And now that many millions
of them have come to the point where they can
do these things, the abominable traffic in soul-de-
stroying drink has been made unlawful throughout
the length and breadth of our country. . More
than ninety millions of people are living in dry
States. If our Rustler would only rustle a little
he might join the people. At present he’s only a
back number.
The German brewers are doing everything that
shrewd lawyers can advise in order to get them-
selves into the saddle again. It is a matter of sur-
prise that Mr. Elihu Root should allow his name
to be employed for this purpose, but of course one
must consider the huge fees the brewers can pay.
When it is recalled that a few years ago Mr. Root
was making idealistic speeches on Good Govern-
ment, and laying stress upon the necessity of good
men in the electorate, and extolling the virtues of
loyalty and intelligence in the citizenry of the coun-
try, it is- distinctly disheartening to see him de-
scend to the stratum of a legal adviser for the
enemies of his country and the enemies of every-
thing good in human government.
Our sympathies go out to Dr. A. J. Barton. He
left Dallas to go to a town equally “dry,” but an-
other court decision, another case of “government
by injunction,” gives a new lease of life to the
heartless liquor traffic, and eleven saloons were
opened in his town as soon as possible after the
decision was rendered. A bone dry national law is
the only hope.
Among the good things the Legislature has done
is to provide a home for dependent children, one
or both of whose parents may be still alive. Our
■ orphanages do not take that class of children, and
yet there are many children who, on account of
dereliction of these parents, become dependent
upon the State, and heretofore the State has had no
institution in which to take care of them.
The movement to provide such an institution
was born in the heart of that estimable laywoman,
Mrs. Smith, of Temple, whose untiring efforts and
persistance won. In a discussion of this bill, Sena-
tor Buchanan, of Bell County, disapproved of it on
account of the extra taxes. Senator Dorough, of
Texarkana, called attention to the fact that the
Senate had approved appropriations to eradicate
ticks and take care of sheep, hogs and cattle, and
said he saw no reason why it should not appropri-
ate funds to make good citizens out of waifs. . He
said: “If only one child was reclaimed, made into
a good citizen and prevented from killing some
good man or committing some other fearful crime
later in life, he thought the Legislature would be
well repaid for the money expended.”
This is a good doctrine for our statesmen. We
need to learn that boys are worth as much as
hogs to our State. We are reaching an age where
humanitarianism must be our key-note.
parts of the world, and we hereby assure
them of our hearty co-operation and support
in any campaign they may launch in Ulster in
their efforts to obtain world-wide Prohibition
of the liquor traffic.
A resolution like this from Dublin would be
very welcome. It seems necessary in speaking of
Ireland to specify what part of the “Emerald
Isle” is meant.
An Associated Press dispatch says that one com-
pany of Boston brewers are arranging to turn their
brewing plant into a candy factory. Another com-
pany of brewers will make chocolate. And so it
goes. One wonders what strange spell the liquor
traffic weaves over men that they should wish
to fight to perpetuate it in the face of overwhelm-
ing opposition from every part of the country.
“By this business we have our wealth.” (Acts
19:25.) But the money made in candy and choco-
late will be so much cleaner and sweeter!
The Germanized liquor traffic in the United
States is showing its incurable lawlessness in the
nethods it is employing to frighten people into
ome sort of compromise. Frightfulness was a
prominent feature in Prussian militarism, but so
ar from bringing the intended results it worked
precisely the opposite way. It aroused the hatred
of cvivilization. The liquor anarchists who are
threatening the United States with Bolshevism
.re simply making a frightful noise, but they need
lot be surprised if they should be hoisted by their
wn petard.

It seems certain now, if protests from Chinese
officials and American missionaries in China are
heeded, as they most surely ought to be, that the
brewers who have been planning to transfer their
plants to China will be unable to obtain passports
for that purpose.

If one may judge from newspaper reports there
are some lawyers in Texas and elsewhere who are
disgracing - their profession. They are making
themselves a refuge for rascals. Their kind has
always been a thorn in the side of what is really
a noble calling,—that of interpreting the laws and
pointing the way for justice. It is the disgrace of
the legal ‘fraternity that there should be among
them men who are willing to conspire with law-
breakers. Let the decent lawyers, the men of per-
sonal integrity and public-spirit, see to it that
swift and merciless exposure follow whenever such
a frame-up is discovered. If the legal profession
would in some public and authoritative way declare
itself oposed to taking up the defense of law-
breakers except upon assignment by a court, they
would put an end to the hope of escape that lures
criminals on.
The attempt to show that the death of the late
John Barleycorn leaves My Lady Nicotine discon-
solate is nothing Short of a shame and a scandal
to her ladyship’s fair name. Ask any American
soldier who smoked a “fag” in the trenches while
there wasn’t a drop of alcohol to be had. Ask
about the saintly old grandma who used to sit
in the corner and smoke her pipe till bed-time and
didn’t know the taste of liquor. In all seriousness,
if the liquor interests are trying to fool the tobacco
interests into an alliance to prevent prohibition
they are only making unnecessary trouble for
themselves. It has always been a favorite scheme
of the liquor dealers to try to scare people by pre-
dicting an attack of prohibitionists on some com-
paratively innocuous habit. It would seem now
that their ingenuity has reached the length of its
inventiveness. Or maybe it is the other way
round. Their inventiveness has reached the length
of their ingenuity! Anyhow, they are on their
last legs, and even the tobacco interests are power-
less to save them. If the tobacco interests are wise
they will steer clear of this attempt on the part
of the brewers and the distillers to draw them
into opposition against the prohibition movement.
mire. And we will build a Christian
In our issue of February fifteenth, referring to
the complaint that Mr. Canales had made against
the conduct of the Ranger Force we remarked that
he had not made this complaint in past years when
the Rangers were used to elect the ticket with
which he was associated. This was true as the
evidence that far developed showed, but later it
was brought out that he did make complaint to
ex-Governor Ferguson, who was then our dicta-
tor, but that Ferguson requested him not to agitate
the matter and that he would see that it was cor-
rected. Of course this was like all promises from
our former Kaiser—never fulfilled, but it exoner-
ates Mr. Canales, and we take pleasure in calling
attention to it in our columns.
We think the investigation of the Ranger Force
was a most wholesome piece of work, and no
doubt the Bledsoe bill put through the Legislature
will correct the evils complained of.
Cardinal Gibbons, in opposing the prohibition
amendment to the Federal Constitution, says ‘men
cannot be legislated into morality.” The ancient
Pharisees found that out more than two thousand
years ago.
Legalism is a still more disastrous failure in
religion' than in morality. And probably no one
in America knows this better- than “James, Cardi-
nal Gibbons.”
Apparently there are several lawyers, some of
whom hail from Texas, who are willing to fool the
brewers and the distillers and exact large fees un-
der pretence of defeating the prohibition amend-
ment to the Federal Constitution. One Kentucky
distiller announces that he has had enough of this.
He is going into a better business. These shys-
ters are a disgrace to the legal profession. No one
knows better than they that prohibition has come
to stay. They are keeping up the noise simply
for what they can make out of it. It is an ugly
noise, to be sure. And if it should terminate in
bloodshed and riot and disaster and have to be put
down by armed force, no one will be quite so
much to blame as these men who make the brew-
ers and the distillers believe that the law can be
repealed.

JOE BAILEY’S DEMOCRACY.
In a recent address at a “Victory banquet” in
Newark, Mr. Bailey is reported to have said, speak-
ing of the Democratic Party: “Ever since Thomas
Jefferson founded it, the Democratic party has al-
ways insisted that every State should exclusively
control local affairs of its own people, but a
Democratic Congress immolated that time-honored
doctrine upon the altar of prohibition and a ma-
jority voted to repeat the sacrifice in behalf of
woman suffrage.”
Perhaps it is hardly worth while, but we take
occasion to say that political parties are not
“founded” by an individual. Thomas Jefferson be-
came a leader in a great popular movement by rea-
son of his personal ability and his deathless hatred
oi autocracy. To use his name in opposing a
mighty popular uprising- against the liquor traf-
fic is to insult his memory. Prohibition is not and
never has been a “local affair.” The liquor traffic
would not submit to “local” regulations. It has
persistently flouted laws of every kind passed in
efforts to make it “local.’ It fought “local option”
as long as possible in its determination to deny the
people the right to control their own affairs. The
liquor traffic knows no politics except to beat the
Anti-Saloon League and its kind. If the Repub-
licans had been in power when the Prohibition
Amendment"'was proposed the result would in all
probability have been the same. At any rate it
was not a party question. Neither is woman suf-
frage. One is really at a loss to understand what
Mr. Bailey’s grievance is unless he has lost his
job as a Democratic “spell-binder.” . Or, may it
not be that he is only turning his itching palm
toward the “billion-dollar” fund the liquor people
are spending in their effort to defeat the will of
the people?
A COMMENDABLE ACT OF THE
LEGISLATURE.
Quite right! No doubt these revelations of the
iquor dealers’ schemes has done much to clarify
ublic opinion in regard to the extent and vicious-
less of the whole business. Nothing is more
ireaded by (the liquor men than investigation. This
s the reason they burn their records so often. It
was the Sulphur Springs trial that broke the back
f the brewers’ scheme in Texas. The trial of the
German-American Alliance in Waschington was
n eye-opener to the whole country. They are
ll tarried with the same stick.
Now they are saying that the famuos “Maine
Liquor Law” is defective because it doesn’t pro-
hibit the use of “hard” cider. “Hard” cider, son,
is cider that has been allowed to stand until it
“soured”—that is to say, fermented. It is fermen-
tation that makes alcohol. Alcohol is therefore a
product of decay. Cider that has undergone a cer-
tain degree of fermentation may contain a com-
paratively high percentage of alcohol. And when
one makes himself drunk on “hard” cider he is just
as drunk as if the alcohol had been in any other
product. No doubt the “Maine Liqour Law” was
a compromise—a sop thrown to the farmers who
made and drank their own cider, which is of
course entirely non-intoxicating if drunk in its
fresh state. It may be preserved in this condition
by boiling. One can easily imagine the difficulty
of framing a law which would penalize the sell-
ing of “hard” cider and at the same time protect
the sale of the nourishing and harmless drink.
But isn’t it a far cry from the farmer, who with-
out evil intent has taken on too much of his own
product, to the brewer or the distiller who in-
vests his time and his money and his energies in
making and distributing the ruinous stuff?
(By Deets Pickett.)
There is a plot to rebel against our
Government; it is financed by brewer-
ies, led by men who were disloyal in
the great war.
If anyone will lift the cover off this
scheme, and peer into it deeply, he
will discover a concealed label: “Made
in Germany.”
A hundred years ago the bulwark
of Protestant Christianity in Europe
was Germany. There came a day
when the native conceit went to work
o demolish their own religion. They
called their picking process higher
criticism; they named their denial of
miracles, and the supernatural in re-
ligion and the inspiration of the Bible,
Rationalism. With high - sounding
phrases they denied, they tore down,
they emasculated the authority of
The recalcitrant politicians (in other words, the
kickers) who tried by a disgraceful filibuster to
force the President to call an extra session of
Congress so that the Republicans could get into
the saddle, are beginning to see things. Senator
Lodge is already having “lucid intervals” during
which he sees that he has lost his grip. Senator
Reed has been boldly asked to resign. Mean-
time, Mr. Wilson wraps the lines about his wrists
and stays right on his pre-determined course.
“Some man” is our “school-master in policitcs.”
Unmoved by the jeremiads of Col. Watterson, and
the threats of the Sinn-Feiners and the ravings of
Penrose and the snarling of “Tray, Blanche and
Sweetheart,” he sits tight!
There seems good reason for hoping that the
open life and the freedom and the wholesome sur-
roundings of the farm, may prove attractive to
many a returning soldier who has been made over
by the discipline of the Army. The man who
sticks to mother earth wins out in the long run,
and is the most independent of his kind. There is
no more attractive or enjoyable life than that of
the country gentleman. The country life is the
life for an ambitious, self-poised young man who
wishes to wear his own collar rather than that of
another. With good roads, automobiles, rural
telephones, the gasoline engine to provide sanitary
drainage and electric lights, any enterprising farm-
er or ranchman may have all the comforts of the
city without its high coSit of living.

when we get far enough away from it,
this whole story of the higher critic
and his blatant claims will appear the
illiest fad and most excuseless prac-
tice adopted by the Christians of the
nineteenth centbry, by which they
sawed off the limb from the Tree of
Life—forgetting that they were sit-
ting on the limb themselves.
These critics are very deep in shal-
low matters. They are ever searching
in the Bible for errors, for elimina-
tions, for negatives. They have a
buzzard’s scent for carrion. They
remind me of the darky who took a
dark lantern on a dark night and went
down a dark cellar to find a black cat
that was not there.

We thank “State Press” for this courageous and
lear statement of a truth which is becoming more
nd more evident every day. And still there are
hose who repeat the ancient sophistries about
State Rights and Personal Liberty and Jefferson-
an Democracy. Neither of these three things ever
had any real connection with the moral issue in-
volved in the fight on the liquor traffic. The
Supreme Court of the United States denied the
moral right of the traffic. A thing that has no
moral right cannot be made right by a majority
vote. A law that has no moral appeal in it has
no claim to observance, and no State can ever
acquire the right to legalize wrong. So, also, no
individual can acquire the right to do wrong. In
the nature of things there can be no such right.
Personal liberty to do wrong is unthinkable. No
man can escape the moral obligation of humanity
by a trick of the imagination. “If the Son shall
make you free you shall be really free.” No man
can be free who is in bondage to his own evil
will.
It is refreshing to have the saloon referred to
in the past tense. What it “was” it can never be-

’own on the Godward side and the

knew a man or a nation that had a
tronger left-hand grasp of human
rotherhood than his right-hand hold
of God and destiny. When the temp-
tations and excitements of a great
war broke upon those people, denuded
of their religious hope and faith, what
happened? There was nothing to
hold them or for them to hold. Atro-
ity that outranked savages; murders
of old men and non-combatants,
maiming and blinding of babies; the
disfiguring of surrendered prisoners;
he ripping and raping of little girls,
were but the legitimate fruit that grew
n the branches of. German Rational-
ism and destructive criticism, the
Continental Sunday and brutalizing
beer.
The civilized world in death grapple
is trying now to throw off the ideals
of German Rationalism, to repudiate
its system of criticism and even to
find a better philosophy. Why? Be-
cause the race stands appalled in the
presence of the fruit that grew on
that tree, and to know by fruitage
has the Savior’s sanction. What

Known to be a mere pagan land to
which we were compelled to send mis-
sionaries as to heathen, they have re-
vealed themselves savages, who have
uncapped hell and plotted the tor-
ment of the human race. Turned
loose on a helpless Belgian village,
on a surrendered French city, on cap-
tured prisoners, on a hospital ward or
ship, on frightened women and weep-
ing children, their deeds would make
a demon blanch with shame. Every
act is the natural expression of their
god-less system of education, and
mock religion.
It is no better on this side of the
water. The attempt to get ^n expres-
sion from five hundred German pro-
fessors in American colleges, con-
demning the policy of frightfulness
of their Fatherland, fell flat. They
all, with eighteen exceptions, stood
for it. Let us take our stand against
any imposition of their theology, their
morals, their philosophy, their criti-
cal methods upon our Church. Their
emasculated Christianity will not do
in America. Their rationalized Christ
is not our Savior. Their crazy-
quilt Bible is not our Holy Scripture.
Their brutalizing beer is going out of
America forever.
If their theology and philosophy
and Biblical viewpoint are better than
ours, why haven’t they civilized Ger-
many? If German socialism is true
brotherhood, why doesn’t it make
them brothers? If their historic
method and higher criticism and ra-
tionalized religion are better than a
whole Bible Christianity, why is not
Germany, where this plant came to
its flower and fruit, evangelical? Why
does every young minister who im-
bibes it lose his evangelical power?
We must stop this flood in our uni-
versities, dam it out of our pulpits,
barricade our homes and altars against
it; and, if we are loyal, protect our
public schools and -civilization from
that fatal infection.
Now that the pit of Germany has
been uncapped, the world has had a
vision of what a secularized Christian
nation means. Our Bible had been
discredited, and its teaching emascu-

The United States is going dry, and
if not entirely dry on July 1, the Fed-
eral amendment passed last week will
close every saloon and brewery in this
great land. The people of the civilized
world should sing praises to God for
this fact. We, who have seen the ef-
fect, of the saloon and then see what
happens even when local option is in
effect, know the good to be derived,
and when Uncle Sam sets his foot
down on the saloon and bootlegger it
will be a long time between drinks.—

“Wet Europe will find dry America a difficult
ndustrial competitor.”—State Press in Dallas
News. Right again! “And that’s what’s the mat-
er with Hanner,” as the native Tar Heels used to
ay. Find the real, home-bred, Simon-pure Ameri-
an who loves his country and honors its flag. You
will not catch him wearing a button with “No
Beer,-No Work,” or any other such anarchistic
notto on it. The enemies of prohibition who are
not in the pay of the antis are largely composed of
he imported element who are in our country only
ecause they find themselves free to fill their
rockets with our money.
The collocation of words employed here as a
headline (not “caption”) was assembled perhaps
subconsciously in the fertile brain of the “State
Press” editor of the Dallas Morning News. He
was replying in a way “all of his own” to an in-
quiry about “hants,” when he struck out this sug-
gestive and alliterative phrase. Alas, and again
alas! How often our boasted and much-advertised
“science” is only “sophistication”! Materialism
has had its day. Its war upon the “supernatural”
was based not upon real science, but upon what
“S. P.” happily terms sophistication. A mere pre-
tense of familiarity with certain results of investi-
gation and injuiry has often served as an authori-
tative voice in a realm where materialism has no
word to utter. Every one knows (if he thinks be-
low the surface) that the most real things in the
world and in human life are unseen.
The waste of the liquor traffic is not merely of
materials. That is grave enough to cause thought-
ful men to opose it, especially now when so large
