FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1897.
There are a great many peo-
ple who stand ready to advance
argument that it isn’t right to do
right, if it costs anything.
Congress will now proceed to
pass a number of laws for the
benefit of the down trodden, op-
pressed million airs and trust
magnates of the United States.
, We shall have open saloons
for two years more, aad the boys
will probably make enough in
the meantime to pay the ex
the next election, and
' not feel it. 5;>- .
It makes us tired to hear those
Democrats, who voted for Me-;
Kinley, abusing him for his
tariff views. They knew his
views when they voted for him,
ami have no grounds for abuse of
i him.
The boys wilTbe safe now from
the “bold storage.” The licensed
saloon won’t- hurt them, be
cause the petitioners who wanted
prohibition repealed an? going
to see the laws against the sa-
loon enforced!?).
Nevada repealed a prohibi
tory law and substituted a
license, to please a lot of thugs
and toughs, who wanted prize
fighting legalized—and Nevada
Immediately rose in the estima-
tion of—-nobody.
Now that we shall have
censed saloons for two more
years, watch those fellows who
wanted prohibition repealed be-
cause the law was violated, and
see how strenuously(P) they will
demand that the laws governing
saloons be enforced
Class legislation is of more
kiads than one, and it is about
the only kind of legislation that
we have these days. A bill for
WHAT HAVE WE GAIRED, OR LOSTT
Last Saturday- the people of
Fannin, county decided by a mi-
nority vote to again license
men to sell whisky. We say a
■bainority vote advisedly, * for
not k third of the voters of
the county cast their ballot for
the saloon. That many of them
did not vote is their fault, it is
true, and those who did not vote
against the saloon must bear the
responsibility for its presence in
our midst, as surely as if they
had voted for it.
As soon as thq court can count
the vote and ^ publish the result
for thirty days, the county will
begin to issue license for men to
conduct legalized bouses where
others may buy and drink intoxi.
eating liquors. Now what have
the law-abiding, peace-loving
citizens of this county gained by
the change? We understand
fully, we think, what the men
who sell whisky have gained, but
these men are not in the question.
What have the majority of the
people gained? A number of the
men who ware friendly to local
option two years age took no ac-
tive part in the recent campaign
because, they said, the law had
not been properly enforced, and
they saw no U5e of keeping such
a law under those sire instances.
Will matters be improved under
the license system? Are there
not laws to be enforced under
that system? Will not the same
persons whose duty it was to
enforce-one Taw, be the same
whose duty it will be to ■ enforcb
the other? If they have failed
to do their best to close a “cold
storage” under one law, will they
attempt to enforce the law
against a saloon for selling un-
lawfully under another law? Will
those who have kept thejf liquor
in a cold storage fail to patronize
a saloon? We think not. Then
what have the people gained in
in this rpspect?
But those friends of the saloon
who grieved so much ever the
loss of revenue, tell us that we
have gained at least the license
fees for public revenue. Well,
we have. If we have as many
licensed saloons and beer halls as
we had two years ago, the tax
payers $f the county will re-
ceive for county revenue $5,450
a year, or say about twelve cents
a head for each man, woman and
child in the county. That is an

poor chance of be- duoe a coin muni
coming a law, if' it antagonizes
the interest of any influential
class.
If you want a law made, or
want a law repealed, get some
strong class to support it in the
first case and oppose it in the
latter, and the thing is done.
Our law-makers too often seem
to be serving the classes, and the
people—oh. “the people be
d-d!”
—*--
That'the “cold storage” pays
much better than licensed
saloons is proven by the fact that
a “cold storage” keeper from b
prohibition county, where the
people have just decided for a
second time to have the law, has
rented a house in Bonham to
open a licensed saloon.

For The News.
As you pass under the bought
of the haw tree and smelL its
fragrant blossoms, there is some-
thing in their sweet perfume, in
the bright warm sunshine that
reminds you of just another
such a day a good long while ago,
and you let ’ memory take
scent from the blossoms, and
trace it all up just as it was on
that dear day.
It starts at th* old homestead
at Aunt Cary's on one bright,
warm Saturday afternoon in
April. Cousin Mamie and your-
self have been permitted to
spend the night with Aunt Bettie,
and Aunt pary hag pressed you
up in your cleanest and prettiest
clothes, and you start on your
journey, 4 distance of about a
mjle and a half, through skirts
of woods, gl&delaftdg.. §qd haw
thickets.
How calm and clear the day
was! just enough breeze for the
tender buds and flowers to
breathe, and keep them swaying
gently, • .
“Mamie,” you say, as you near
the little creek on your way,
“let’s wade some. Do you think
Aunt Cary would care?” “She
migb4 Freujf ” “But we won’t
wade in deep water, and it gjjl
be so nice, and my feet are nearly
parched; won’t you?” “Yea.
Frank, but what if I .should fall
and soil my clean clothes?” “But
you wont, I won’t let you,” and
she lets you take her little hand,
and you begin tf> yade slowly in
the pebbly-bottom stream, too*t-
ing down at your feet through
the clear water. “O, Mamie!
see wha\ a bright, pretty shell in
there. , Won’t you stand here
while l w$4e ia aQd get it?” And
you let lose her hand and vqU
up your trousers until they will
not go a round further, and you
venture in. The shell glitters
up through the clear water, and
it does not lpok deep, bht it is,
and the first thing you know you
have slipped into water up to
your waist. „ Cousin Mamie
sefeams and Starts toward you,
but you are not (scared, and soon
find footing, and walk, out into
shallow water. But oh, your
clothes! What will Aunt Bettie
say? What "Will Aunt Cary
say? And your stout little heart
_ urst out
crying.. It
takes jour hand and leads you
out on the dry bank, where you
God, bless her; you know she
was, and you say again very low
and tremulously, “God bless'her!”
and hope her sweet, patient
spirit is in a brighter,1 better
world. She was ndt angry with
yew for getting wet, on the con-
trary, you thought she-was
awfully sorry, for you noticed
when she laid out some more lit-
tle clothes for you to wear while
yours dried* there were tears in
her eyes. It -did hot occur to you
then whose little clothes they
might, have been, anyhow she
soon had your clothes hanging
by the kitchen fire, and you and
and Cousin Mamie were as frolic-
some and happy as could be.
Uncle Thackary came in, and
he, too, was glad to see ^ou, and
kissed -you both, and danced
cousin Mamie on his knee. After
supper Aunt Bettie popped corn,
and told you stories, and such &
time, such a time! Such a sweet
night’s sleep, and such pleasant
dreams! ' • , ,
0, memory, how you t©nph>.fpy
very heart strings, and awaken
thoughts of those pure,
days that never, never can come
again!
Long ago Aunt Bettie and
Uncle Thackary have heep laid
side by side over there in *the
little graved yard. Aunt Cary,
too, has gone to join them. j j
And Mamie, you know not
where she is. She married sev-*
years ago, and ^riqth§r han<| than
tyours is leading her. Perhaps
over safer grounds; you don’.t
know; you hope so. Anyhow he
has led her Out of your life,
away, far away, you know not
where.

lea you far away from tposs o}j|
scenes. Some hand, you knew
nojt whose, is still leading you.

On the fourth page of the
present issue is reproduced an
editorial from the Dallas News
that is Veil worthy the careful
consideration of every citizen of
this country. The article is head-
1 • “Startling Increase of
Crime,” and is an array of figures
showing the terrible increase in
the number of murders . in the
* United States during the past
- few years. Figures could have
been given to show* proportion-
ate increase in other grades of
crime also. The News very ably
draws conclusions as to the rea-
sons for this increase of crime,
and suggests the remedy that
will prevent it. No man who
has taken the least thought on
these matters, or who has ob-
served local conditions, can fail
.. to agree with the News on .the
stand it takes. We commend its
course in this matter, and trust
the responsibility for the crime,
l or the suffering, for the sorrow
that these saloons will cause?
And where is the man who says
they do' not cause all, these
things? • Where is the man who
will affirm that the people who
voluntarily license them to do
these things are not, in some de-
gree, responsible, for them? ' If
robbery were legalized, would it
be any the less robbery? If
murder were made lawful by
statute, would it be any th*e less
murder? If th^ sale of whisky
is the source of much evil, will
it not still produce evil, though
it be legalized? Have we gained
anything for sobriety, for the ob-
servance of law, for the improve-
ment of the morals Qf the com-
munity, for the real benefit of
the people, by a return to the
license system? None of these
things have we secured.
Will we lose anything? We
think so. We will lose the re-
spect that many people had for
the law; we will lose the respect
many people had for the law’s
officers; we will lose by en-
couraging a law-defying ele-
ment to believe that they can
triumph over the law and over
the will of the * people when-
ever they See fit, and which be
lief they will not be slow to use
further. And more than this
we have loet a battle waged for
two years, and lost it when vic-
tory was easily within our reach.
Do you ask what that Victory
was? It was a victory over the
organized liquor traffic. For two
years local dealers, backed
by wholesale men in Dallas and
other points, who are backed by
the distillers and brewers of
America, have done everything
in their power to make the pro-
hibition law odious. They have
sold whisky in violation of law,
given it away for effect, estab-
lished “cpld storages” and run
them at a loss, all to bring about
a re-action of public sentiment,
and thus bring back the licensed
saloon. They were whipped,
and if the people of this county
had retained prohibition, these
fellows would have had to practi-
cally give up the fight, and they
knew it. It is a‘costly mistake , ,
*e have made, and cannot J0’* g<!t
present 3 pitiful aspect. “Don’t
cry, Frank, it will soon dry, and
won’t show much, and mamma
won’t be mad I am sure, if we
tell- her.” “Mamie, let’s wait
here in, the sunshine until they
dry a bit; won’t you?” So we
sit down on a carpet of fresh,
new grass near a ba^r tree,
whose blossoms perfume the air
for yards around. .
She sat just in the edge of the
shade, where the dancing shad-
ows flecked her golden hair,
while you, with your bead In her
lap, lay stretched in -the sun
shine. Above you was the clear
blue sky peeping through the
hawblossifims, and mingling^vith
the blue of Mamie’s eyes that
looked down at you so sweetly,
while her little hand smoothed
back your hair and wiped the
tear stains from your etteek. At
last your eyes becoine heavy,
and gradually the blue canopy
fades, and you are almost asleep,
When Mamie sighs ^nd feels o
your damp clothes afiff wonders
if you had not better be going,
and then sheis startled by a frog
that begines croaking near by.
“Frank! Frankl what was that?’
“Only a rain frog, Mamie.”
Why does he halloo, Frank?”
The News did all it 6Qu14 fo
get the people of Fannin county,
to vote for prohibition, and is
glad it did. Had a full vote,
been polled the saloon * would
have been ‘‘gat upon,” but the
friends of, the liquor trajpc votecl
and the other fellows stayed
home.1* We shall have to abide
