GI2-61:: Junnlta llulldliiK, Dalian, Texas. Ardmore, Monday, Dec. 27, 1001 WHAT OF PROHIBITION? Half a country ago Hcvenleen s.ntos were under prohibition. They tiled It to their own satisfaction and after trial sixteen of the iiuinhcr abaudonod It. The only state that has preserved a relic of the crime Ik Maine and the very mention of the. name Insp.ros visions of hypocrisy. In these latter days other Mates it fusing to profit by the lessons of history, have attempted the experi ment and wherever the trial haB lasted for u period of six months It lallure Is stnrlliiigly apparent. In all these states the prohibition isl has become the political co partner of the bootlegger fbe upoak o.is, the blind pit; ami the private locker. Prohibition has made their lnlonce and their IiiihIiicsk possl-l-le and in return, to show their ap preciation of favors bestowed as well as In defense of their nefa rious calling, they vote for prohlhl t, u whenever prohibition Is an Is sue. Instead of the open club or saloon, which may be logulatod to be tibso lately safe so fai lis tho public Interests avo concerned. If the people Sj decree, we not these viciously un lawful cesspools of vice that thrive and flourish In the darkness of crim inality. And that Is not the worst of it In every prohibition district there I invariably strong niinoilty of men who do not bel'eve I uprohlhitlon. win regard it as an unwarranted and unjustifiable Invasion of their l "Kilts, destrurtho of the personal liberty which belongs tu'them and which cannot bo taken away from thorn if our Institutions of govern ment are to endure. These men re fuse to bo subdued. Their spirit of tcshtance is as strong and as right i us as was the spirit of tho martyr. They rottel axalnst what In their hot consciousness they leg.ird as a wrong and while they ui.i not vio late thoiuschs they will not attempt to detect or punish violations by other. No; 111,' time has never Iteen, Is nut now, and never w 1)1 be when a strong minority of liberty loving V.norlean i-lli be vanished hy th brute strength or u stionger majori'y In respect to Issues that Involve the r personal liberty. They will forever Insist that they bt left 111 ptuio to eat or drink oi wear or follow any "pursuit" which they may choose o lonj? as i hoy do not trespass upon tlm tights of others. I'or th's reason, if for no other, prohibit! in wil! never piohlblt! Tho virile ingenuity of these self styled reformcus has worked out an other cunning scheme, plausible, d rental, and as vicious as It Is luge mums! Knowing that in certain states pro li bltlon will iut carr, they sc"); io prohibit by counties, by securing the enactment ot so-oalh-d "county cptkn' laws. It cannot be that such laws are constitutional because th)' must proceed upon the theory th tt the ptliti'-ul subdivision we call county" U the unit of government. The county Is not the unit, nor can it be tnnde the unit without Jrst abolishing the smaller subdivision... I' is a combination or community of units. Tho smallest jkiIIi ial subdl vlsi u en-cted by the constitution -the townHhlp or pr line' h of no ressity tho unit nnd, as the unit, It tias tho right to Invoke tho basic principle of n republican form ri govern It ."filf without tho u'd or as of lornl character. Home rule Is the osaeneo, the governmental unit to govern Itself Ithout the aid or as sistance or interference of any othoi polltlcnl unit. The people or n pull leal unit within a county have no right to Interfere wrh the people of any other jxtlltlcnl unit within tin1 mine county in rostoei to their own internal nfTalts. And ir the affair rtt Issue aro not Internal within the unit then the only other Kovertnental power that can Interfere In the nt-ate. not the eount. There Ih no (uetioii hut wliat tin- tttnte may decide for nil of IU peode whether 111 lixltnnt may ho iniuiiifncUirel and Hold or either, hut If the Mate neglect to ,'terrHe Its preroKatlve to loKllatc for nil of lt people then the people of tnoh municipality must he left to do- i lile for llicnisclvctf. The Mute having neglected or refused to dech'e the niat ter us a Mtate iHiie It becomes a local Issiiu to ho determined by eaeli org.v tilled loeallty for Itself.
