slilutional oaths ns Ihcy doubtless
will then efiicient laws which will
bo uniform throuhgout the State will
bo passed to enforce the amendment
Wo are at all times dependent upon
governments governors and legisla
tures to obey the constitution and if
by chance men were elected who
would not do so Texas would make
short work of them The Legislature
could never have been compelled to
pass any local option laws and it Could
now wipe out every local option law on
the statute books by violating the con
stitutional oaths of its members
The amendment will become effect
ive on the second Tuesday in January
it does not repeal a single local op
tion law now on the statute books but
by its very terms preserves hem until
modified or repealed
The only laws i nrelation to the
liquor traffic which will be repealed
will be those by which liquor can bo
sold under a license Therefore until
he Legislature 1ms passed efficient
laws for the enforcement of the
amendment we will hold fast to all
laws in force when the amendment is
adopted under this proviso of the
amendment All laws in force when
this amendment is adopted providing
remedies penalties or forfeitures in
relation to the manufacture sale or
transportation of intoxicating liquors
shall remain in full iorce and effect
until modified or repealed
Until efficient laws are passed by
the Legislature to enforce the amend
ment it will be unlawful to sell liquor
after lie second Tuesday in January
in territory theretofore wet and we
enn rely upon writs ol injunction to
Stop such sales and criminal prosecu

THE JEWISH HERALD
dry when the amendment was adopted
wo can enforce all the laws in effect
at that time prohibiting therein the
sale of liquor
The fears which are expressed by
some especially by Antis who have
ought local option and locol option
laws that the benefit of these laws
and the numerous decisions of our
courts construing same will all bo
thrown away need give us no con
cern The Legislature will simply take
all the good local option laws which
have been passed by prohibitionists
and with which our Anti friends aro
now in love and make them applicable
to the entire State with such other
laws as may be though wise and
necessary ICvery lawyer of any at
tainments will ell you that a law
which has ben held valid for a locality
would necessarily bo held valid when
made general for the State as the ap
plication of local laws always present
more serious legal difficulties than
general laws Further the many ques
tions which relate to the technical
manors in connection with calling and
holding oft repealed local option elec
tions will no longer be involved for
unlawful sales ot liquor
Our Anti friends should not fear
hat our local option laws will be up
set and the sale of liquor by boot
leggers take the place of the licensed
saloon When adopted the amend
ment will simply put the brewers
liquor dealers and saloonists out of
business in Texas and then the pro
hibitionists of the State will only have
to contend with the bootleggers who
are today more numerous where liquor
is licensed than where its sale is pro
hibited These bootleggers will be
easier to handle then because they
are especially ollensive o our anti
prohibition friends and if they are
sincere we will join hands and consti
tute a resistless majority in every lo
cality to rid Texas of bootleggers after
the saloons are put out of business
License and regulation have been
ti ied and have tailed The amendment
will give us Statewide prohibition
which we believe to be the only ef
fective remedy and which the people
of Texas are entitled to try in an ef
lort to rid our State of the baneful
influences or the liquor t nil fie as lo
which There are none so low as o
do it reverence
