The San Antonio Express
says: “The Austin Tribune,
while a staunch antiprohibition
organ, does not believe that pray
er and whiskey go together. The
following comment is made on
the fact the antimass-meeting at
Fort Worth was opened with
prayer: ‘For an example of an
absurd and ridiculous situation
we cite the invocation at the Fort
Worth anti convention. To ask
for Divine guidance and the
blessing of Almighty God for the
perpetuation of the liquor traffic
seems almost sacrilegious. Keep
whisky if you will, because it is
inexpedient to deprive us old
soaks of our toddy, but mock not
at religion in so doing.’ ”

Results of Good Work.
The New Library Workers find
that after settling all bills they
cleared $136.00 on the dinners
served last week to the visiting

Expenses were quite heavy, as

were required, and a quantity of
provisions, to supplement the
very generous donations of eat-
ables that were sent in.
In addition considerable cut-
levy was bought, and trestles
made for the tables.

pared for the work, the ladies
