(Editor's Note: Excerpts from
the speech given by .Imlse llcnry
^ Bishop before (he meeting of the
Panhandle Anti-Whiskey Conven-
tion Wednesday are printed here.
So well were various principles of
W the League Against Whiskey ex-
plained that officers of the organ-
ization asked that they be re-
printed throughout the district.
Judge Bishop is Potter County
chairman of the League.)
The people arc divided into two
classes in this campaign against
whiskey—those who are, and those
who are not. interested in it.
Our task and privilege and op-
portunity is to exert ourselves to
get them Interested; to demon-
strate that our cause is worthy and
is reasonable hopeful of success
There is more peril to our cause
In the apathy of our own people
than in the hostile activity of the
opposition. It is said that in the
campaign for the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States
less than 40 per cent, on an
average, of the qualified voters
went to the polls at all.
We are not afraid of the truth
In this campaign. On;' truth Is
this: That the ultimate purpose of
ell temperance and prohibition
movement is the dimlnishment of
the use of intoxicating liquor for
beverage purposes To that end
thousands have committed them-
selves to the easily acquired habit
and rule of life to iota! abstamence
which is decidedly better and saf-
er than tampering with liquor at

The whole history of human
progress attests to the evil and

Benefit Show
July 31,-Aug. 1
About August the 15th or 20th
the New Coach, of Claude High
School, will be in Claude to taku
the football boys to the Pall Train-
ing camp for a week or ten days
good out-door work. This require
money, for the boys must eal
while in training.
Our local theatre—The Gem-
has given the boys a picture and
it is a dandy. The title is "The
Band Plays On". It is peculiarly
fitting that this Is a great foot-
ball picture with plenty ot comedy
and everything that goes with a
good, clean picture. You will en-
joy this picture.
On every ticket sold by or unde>
the auspices of our football boy
forty ppr cent goes to the team.
Our Pep-Squad girls will do the
principal selling. Be ready to buy
for they are great salesladies.
We feel, since everyone likes a
good show, that this is a much
better way to raise money than by
passing the hat. Lets try to sell
five hundred tickets and make it
possible to put over a big train-
ing camp. We mean to have a
real football team this year and
we know the people will rally to
its support. The show dates are
July 31st and August 1st.—The
School Board.
