Some time ago an article ap-
peared in the News-Herald written,
presumably, by one of the brewery's
outpoBts, who claimed he had solved
the problem of the prohibition ques-
tion, "license the drinker!" 1 pass
this by without comment, as it is
too ridiculous to be discussed. And
now comes one Geo. Harnett, coun-
ty commissioner, falling back on
the old plea, that the taxpayers
are overburdened with taxes
through the enforcement officers.
Well, if the officers are at fault,
Not an experiment, but an "ASSURANCE," Supported by the

get after them, and not strike at
the enforcement laws.
Suppose Mr. Commissioner, you
would fail in your duties a3 com-
missioner, would it be good policy
to abolish the laws governing your
office? The people of Oklahoma
have said twice, by their votes, that
they are opposed to the saloon and
its galling bitterness, and if the
present laws are inadequate to con-
quer the foe install yet more strin-
gent laws. If officers fail in any
particular to do their duty there is
a remedy. Apply it, as In any other
case of maladministration.
And again, if the evils were to
be summed up on both sides , it
would be easily seen on which side
the greatest amwnt of evils exist.
The cost and evil practices on the
side of prohibition is but a drop
out of the ocean compared with the
cost and evil results from the li-
censed saloon. And every good and
law-abiding citizen should stand up
against the worst enemy that ever
existed in any country.
