Vice President Fairbanks and party

present to hear him'
'Tis the last filmy shirtwaist on the
streets left alone; all its network com-
panions to the closets have flown.
'Neath its soft open lattice blue goose-
flesh is seen where the eye slyly pierces
the lace threads between. Soon the
fair but vain wearer, so proud of her
bust, may lie under the quoting of:
"Dust unto dust," for the demon pneu-

breeze whispers: "You'd better skid-

to give the best service to their consti-
tuents and to the state. The test ap-
plied by the prohibition radical is not
how capable and honest a candidate
should be, bnt is he willing to pledge
himself to constitutional prohibition,
pulled out regardless of greater and more impor-
tant constitutional needs. Even
though he may personally be in favor of
a rigid control of the liquor traffic,
b ut in a different manner, he is put
on the black list and marked for
slaughter.
This is not only un-American, and,
contrary to the fair, just and dispas-
sionate attitude that should be taken
on all questions by level-headed men,
but it seeks to restrict and subordi-
nate the making of the entire constitu-
tion to the wishes of a few persons,
championing a single cause.
If constitutional prohibition, were
known to be an absolute and unqualifi-
ed solution of the conditions it seeks to

position of the constitutional prohibi-

true.
The injustice of tuth as policy as
that for which the constitutional pro-
hibitionists are contending would be
just as great if it were supported by
75 per cent of the citizenr of the fu-
ture state. Every citizen of the Unit-
ed States has inalienable rights of
which he should not be deprived, how-
ever strong an organization there may
be to oppress him. The freedom of in-
dividual rights is the foundation of all
good government, and its suppression
for any purpose is always wrong. Yet
this is just what the constitutional pro-
hibitionists are trying to do in Oklaho-
ma. The offense would be no less if
they were asked these special privi-
leges for an income tax for the initia-
tive or referendum, or for any other
form of law. Every man's vote belongs
to himself and to no other person, and
no other person or number of persons
be permitted to interfere with it.
