the following proposition.
The Anti-saloon League of the
state of Oklahoma is continuously
making the declaration both at home
and abroad that the Oklahoma pro-
hibition law is the best law ever
written.
The Anti-Saloon league has had
the benefit of an administration in
perfect accord with its views and
willing to assist it in the matter
of enforcement to the fullest possi-
ble extent.
The first state legislature was in
perfect accord with the Anti-saloon
League and voluntarily Massed an ap-
propriation bill carrying with it the
sum of $50,000 for the purpose of
enforcing the prohibition law, every
dollar of which has been spent for
that purpose. The second legislature
appropriated the sum of $.".0,000,
000 of which had been spent on
the first day of June, 1910.
At least fifty per cent of the county
offli lala throughout the ent re stat<
have been in accord with the Anti-
saloon league in both their endor
ment of the law and their wilii:
ness to assist in enforcing it.
vVlth all of these forces working
for the one end and sincerely and
energetically to enforce the prohibi-
tion law, the people want to kno
what is the result.
There is not a city in the stai
where liquor is not sold in large
WORDS OF XDVK'i:
To Young Men Who <io Wrong and
Are Sure to Heap Sorrow—It
Pays to he Manly
A case before Esquire Edmiston
last Monday developed a state of af-
fairs that is to be regretted and such
acts must cease in this community.
It is much easier to act manly than
to act the opposite and it always
pays To obey the laws of the land
and observe the rules of good socie-
y is the best policy under all cir-
ummstances and it is no honor to
any young man to figfot. Especially
is it unmanly and disgraceful to dis-
religious service, and besides,
there is a special law and a heavy
penalty attached. From the evi-
dence in the case of the State against
Dick Powers, it appears that Powers
assaulted Carl McCain Sunday night
at a religious meeting being held by
the Adventists in a tent on the Etch-
ison farm northwest of Piedmont.
Judge Edmiston bound Powers over
under a bond of $:!00, to appear be-
fore the county court at El Reno.
In the afternoon Orvil McCoy was
arraigned and tried before Police
Justice Jennings for assault upon
Merle Hess at the same time and
place ami received the same sen-
tence.
MotJh gave bond and will later be
tried in El Reno. In this trial the
boys will have to employ an attorney
and run the chances of spending a
year's time in jail. In any event,
whether cleared or convicted, it will
be an expensive proposition and we
are sure they now see plainly that it
Is a losing game, no matter how it
ends. Merle Hess, charged with as-
