"DECEPTION, MISREPRESEN-

PALACIOS, TEXAS, FI

NUMBER 28
If this campaign were upon the

Specimen of Methods Employed
Saloons to Bolster up Their
Cause.
The laat two Sunday issues of the
uston papers printed lists of
names of what they said were
prominent business men of that city
who would vote against Statewide
prohibition. These lists have been
partially analyzed by the Statewide
prohibition committee, and here is
the result of their findings, and to
secure publicity for which they had
to pay advertising rates in these
same papers. Read it. It will be
worth your while:
On July 2nd the local papers pub-
lished a list advertised iu flaming
headlines to contain 7000 names of
“Leading Business Men, in no way
and at no time, directly or indirect-
ly, interested in or connected with
the Liquor Traffic, who in the in-
terest of true temperance were op-
posed to Prohibition.”
On July 9th there was again pub-
lished a similar list, this time ad-
vertised as containing 10,000 names.
On the first list there were in fact
exactly 3254 names, instead of 7000
as advertised.
On the second list there were in
fact exactly 2142 names, instead of
10,000 as advertised.
Of the 3254 names, the first 35
pci oeul were analyzed and, aseum-
that this partial analysis is repre-
sentative of all, tho result follows:
140 names repeated.
96 names in Saloon business.
51 names negroes (some of whom
arc porters, bar-l-^epers and
waiters.)
2091 names not on poll tax list and
most of whom do not eveu ap-
pear in the City Directory.
2378 names.
This leaver 87flf names, and at
f these rent property for
Saloon purposes and to that extent
are “directly interested i n the
Liquor business.”
Some of these 876 names are act-
ively and earnestly supporting the
proposed prohibitory Amendment.
In this number of 876 names are
those of many esteemed and worthy
tax-paying citizens, who will be
surprised to thus learn that their
names have been used as a play-
thing in the alleged interest of the
Saloons.
It is generally known that these
lists were actively and diligently
circulated by a number of persons
for several weeks and the result of
this effort set forth above will not
be especially encouraging to the
Liquor Interests.

i crent standing with the voters. reBtf recuperation and enjoyment.
Local option embodies many good But nature does not do everything
points upon which there might be | for man> and leaves 8ome work for
real and honest differences of opin-
ion. But we now have local option,
and it is not an issue. We have
tried it, and while it is good, the
people believe it can be improved
upon by making it general through-
out the State. Our anti friends are
being deluded with the ' representa-
tion that a ynte against the amend*
ment is a vote for local option, but
this is not true. The issue is sa-
loons or no saloons, and no matter
what may be said or believed about
it, or the personal sentiment of the
voter, a yote in this election against
the amendment is a vote for the sa-
loon. This was illustrated in Dal-
lam county last week. This is the
northwest corner county of the
State in the Panhandle, and until
last week was the only black spot
on all north Texas. A local ontinn
election was held in that county last
week, and it went dry, making the
whole of North Texas white. In
that campaign those who voted and
worked against local option, are
the selfsame persons who are cry-
ing out to preserve local option to
the State. To have been at all
consistent they should have favored
local option in their own couuty,
but they didn’t. If Statewide should
be defeated, it will mean the begin-
ning of an aggressive and relentless
campaign throughout the State to
defeat local option in every dry
county and city, and the active
workers for that end will be those
who are supplying the means now
being used to defeat prohibition.
To our anti friends it ought to ap-
pear plain that if they are honestly
opposed to the saloon, as many of
them declare, they cannot with any

A Three Fold Cord.
First Strand.—Would it not sound
harsh and severe to say, and yet is
it not true, that every legalized li-
quor establishment in the land is a
Christian institution?
Second Strand.—Is it not ab-
solutely true that if every Christian
voter in the nation would positively
refuse to support with his ballot,
any tax or license party, there
would not be one legalized saloou in
the United States?
Third Strand.—If Christian men
persist io voting for tax and license
parties are they not as guilty of
legalizing and perpetuating the li-
quor traffic as is any other man,
eyen though the other man be a
brewer or saloon keeper.
Reader! Are you helping to
make the cord which binds the sa-
loon to the nation? Consider these
three propositions in the light of
your own actions and decide the
matter as you are willing to meet
the same in the day of judgement!
The Sunday Night Rally.
The biggest crowd yet was at the
auditorium last Sunday evening to
hear Rev. Israel speak iu behalf of
Statewide prohibition, and they
were entertained with one of the
most logical and convincing argu-
ments heard in our city duriDg the
campaign. His suggeston that it
was not right, and that the govern-
ment should not bo permitted to
sell internal revenue liquor licenses
in prohibition territory was an es-
pecially well taken stand, and the
reasonableness of which all will ad-
mit. It is for the temperance peo-
ple to begin the agitation of na-
tional attention to this injustice,
and demand of Congress that such
license sales should be prohibited.
This would minimize the evil of
illegal sales in prohibited territory,
and be a big sfpp toward national
prohibition, and which must come
right soon.
Dr. J. P. Green made an able ad-
dress at the Statewide rally at the
First Church on Sunday nighjpfce a
\ were eon-
full house. The arguments
vhieing and presented with much
force and enthusiasm. One of the
features or the address was a eollec.
tion of strings of various lengths each
inch representing a million dollars.

sions was 9 inches long, while the

by erecting a suitable buildiDg on
the bay shore w here the cool breezes
always blow and the laying out of
the grounde in artistic design, pro-
viding winding walks and rustic
benches, and the planting of such
ouaues irees as wiil grow quickly,
along with some ornamental shrubs
and plants. The building should be
in the form of an open air auditorium,
and yet with parts enclosed so it
could be used even in unfavorable
weather. There should be a band
stand and speakers platform. There
should also be a good supply of
tahioo> ill the equipment neces-
sary for serving refreshments, even
to the spreading of a banquet, Such
a place as we haye in mind would
be much used by lodges, societies
and churches in giving public en-
tertainments, and 'for all of which
there is at present no suitable place
in the city.
We will not go into further details
now, believing this brief outiine*will
give a fair idea of what we have in
mind, and what we are sure will
meet the approval of every citizen.
This public grouftd should be free'
to every body at all times, but when
used for entertainments of any kind,
a small rental or percentage should
be charged, to create a fund for
keeping the place in good condition
and repair. It ought to be large
enough to provide room for some
outdoor games, and provide ground
that could ba id io traveling shows
that may visit the city, The enter-
prising city of Commerce, this state,
has a most beautiful pleasure place
along the lines herein suggested,
and which has been so managed as
to pav for its maintenance, and a
fair interest on the money invest-
ed. The ground for such a pub-
lic recreation and rest place, we are
assured can be had at no cost. 'We
understand that if the ground on
the south bay shore is wanted for the
purpose suggested, that the Town-
site company will convey its title in
so much of the reserve as would be
needed free of cost. If this is cor-
rect then we should lose no time in
taking advantage of the opportunity,
and quickly provide this one great
need in making Palacios still more
desirable and attractive as a pleas-
ure resort. Our suggestion would
be that that this could best be pro-
vided by the organization of a local
otook company, who would place
the management of the property in
the hande- of one man who would
keep it in order, and collect the
rentals.
Such a place as we have in mind
should be well illuminated at night,
and the profit from a refreshment
stand on the ground would more
than keep it up and pay for the ser-
vices of the manager, and earn a per
cent, on the investment. It should
be large enough aud so planned that
it would serve as an opera house,
and should be furnished with stage
and scenery for light theatricals and
summer operas, and could be de-
signed so a9 to be enclosed for like
use during the winter. With suit-
able provisions of this sort for the
comfort and ease of the general
public, aud for entertainments, the
name aud fame of Palacios as a
pleasure result would become still
more widespread, and draw many
people who do not visit us now just
because we are lacking in these ac-
commodations and attractions which
are essential to a fully equipped
pleasure resort.

Final Sunday Rally
The coming Sunday will be fhe
last before the election on the adop-
tion of Statewide prohibition, and
there will be two big meetings at
the B. Y. P. U. auditorium in be-
half of the cause. At three o’clock
in the afternoon Hon. Quincy Mor-
row, of New York, an orator of
national fame, will speak as the
representative of the Anti-Saloon
League. In the evening Rov, Dal-
las A. Williams, pastor of the
Methodist church, will give the
closing address of the union meet-
ingunder the auspices of the churces
of the city. Both speakers will
be greeted by large audiences.
There will be more meetings during
the week, but they have not yet
been definitely arranged for. They
will be advertised by hand-bills, so
that all may know the time aud
place, and have the opportunity of
attending. We have only to add
that if the remainder of the drv ter-
ritory of the State has worked as
earnestly and enthusiastically Tor
the success of prohibition as- have
the people of Palacios, the amend-
ment will win by 100,000 majority
or better. From all reports it is
evident that the whole staie is
aroused and that there will be a
large vote polled, and the bigger the
vote the greater the majority for the
amendment will be.
Palacios Boat Wins In Corpus
Christi Regatta.
Captain G. W. Hicks went to
Corpus Christi on the 4th with bis
trim yacht, the “J. T. Hicks” and
entered iu the regatta in the large
yacht race, and won first money,
$200, with about seven minutes to
spare to bis closest competitor.
There were five other entries in the
race; the only ones that mado a
show alongside the “Hicks” were
the “Carrie L.” and “Lady Gay,”
both of Corpus. The race was over
an 18 mile triangular course, the
“Hicks” making it in 2 hourB, 14
mioutes and 35 seconds, or an
average of over 8 nriias an hour.
The “Carrie L.” a Corpus boat, and
the favorite in the race, made ^he
course in 2:21:06, and the “Lady
Gay” in 2:48:30. Capt. Hicks also
won first in the long dive contest..
He came home the last of last week
very much satined with the result
of his Fourth of July celebration.
Capt. Hicks brought with h i m
copies of the Cnrmio nepers giving
accounts of the boat races, but they
studiously avoid mentioning where
the “Hicks” hails from, leaving
those not posted to infer that the
boat helongs to Corpus. But thi3
isn’t true. The boat and her master
both belong to Palacios. Capt.
Hicks has received a very tempting
offer to go to Galveston aud enter
Lis boai against tuts prize wiane** nt
that city, and one that has never
been defeated by any boat in her
class on this coast. He -will take
advantage of this offpr at any early
date. Of the regatta at Corpus, the
Daily Caller of that city has this to
say:
The yacht race for vessels of 20
feel and oyer, was by far tba most
interesting and spectacular event of
the kind that has been held in these
waters in many years. All of the
vessels enlered in this race were of
Some Heat In Kansas.
A friend senus us a copy of the
Democrat published at Hanoyer,
Kansas, dated the 7th inst., which
tells something of the intense heat
and protracted drought witu which
that section of country is being
afflicted. This paper states that
there had been no rain since May
21, and that ou dune 24 me ther-
mometer registered 114 degiees,
and there has not been a day since
that the thermometer did not go
above the 100 mark. For the first
seven days of this month the Demo-
crat states that the thermometer
readings have been 104, 101. 104,
104, 100, 108, and ill degrees. In
addition to this the nights have been
so hot that comfortable rest and
sleep have been impossible. What
is true of this one particular place
applies to the whole State of Kan-
sas as well as to many of her neigh-
boring northern States.
While the thermometer was scor-
ing above the hundred mark in Kan-
bo.0, inere was a very ditterent con-
dition here on the delightful gulf

words of praise were spoken for
the “Alamo” and her crew for the

people on the boat.
Friday, June 80th, the young peo-
ples Sunday school class, of Dunbar,
met with the young people of Prairie

Market Review.
Houston, Texas, July, 12:—The
cotton market has developed into a
weather market and prices are hing-
ing on the reports of precipitation
over the cotton belt. The past
week witnessed a slow downturn of
cotton prices and unless hot sunny
weather comes to bull the market
prices this week will continue to be
weak.
Precipitation over the cotton belt
has been heavy, an excess of rain
falling in the center of the belt. Io
Arkansas and Louisiana the heavy
moisture has had the tendency of
increasing boll weevil damage, al-
though so far Texas is singularly
free of the pest. Added rain, how-
ever, undoubtedly will increase the
ravages of the weevil and this sit-
uation will more than offset the ef-
fects of the reports of moisture in
the cotton market.
Picking is becoming general and
in many places gins are ruuniug on
nearly full time.
In the other markets the heavy
rains have seriously affected busi-
ness. Elberta peaches are arriving
from North Texas and it is under-
stood that several carloads will
reach Houston before the week-cud.
The peaches are very fine, but the
shipments will not be as large this
year as anticipated.
Trade in oranges is restricted.
California fruits are becoming more
general iu this market. Big ship-
ments of cherries, plums, apricots
and peaches have arrived.
The potato market whs firm.
Stock is hard to get and prices are
well maintained, ranging from $1
to $1.75 per bushel.
The demand for young chickens
suffered a slump. The chicken
market was unchauged for the week.
Receipts are smaller, but prices are
well maintained.
