WOODROW WILSON
AND PROHIBITION
George Thornburg Explains
President’s Stand and Pre
sents “Grogan Letter”
Editor Journal.—1 saw today
the proof of a circular which
is being printed and I presume
will be circulated broadcast ov
er the state, containing a pic
ture of President Wilson and a
copy of h's letter of May 1,
1911, written to Rev. Thomas
D. Shannon, Newark, N. J., in
which the president declares
himself in favor of local option,
and the argument is being used
in this circular that the presi
dent is opposed to statewide
prohibition.
This shows the depths to
which the liquor people will
descend. This letter was writ
ten while the president was
governor of New Jersey, and
was written to a citizen of New
ark, N. J., and in regard to a
state where1 prohibitionistswere
fighting for local option as the
best thing they could get. It
was written May 1, 1911, But
on July G, 1911, President Wil
son, in answer to a letter writ
ten him by E. W. Grogan of
Byers, Tex., said:
“My Dear Mr. Grogan: You
mistook me if you thought that
I was treating your first letter
as a communication of a poli
tician or if you supposed that
1 was trying in any waytoavoid
the important question you put
to me. The reply I made was
made in all sincerity. I believe
that for some states statewide
prohibition is possible and de
sirable, because of their rel
ative homoneg. neity. while for
others I think that statewide
prohibition is in t practicable.
I have no reason te doubt from
what I know of the circumstan
ces that statewide prohibition
is both practicable and desir
able in Texas. In my reply to
you 1 was only trying to state
what I think must always be
kept in mind, the wide diverg
“iiMURIC!”
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY IN CHEMISTRY
This is a recent discovery >f Doctor j i
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids’ >
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
K. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce’s
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those |
easily recognized symptoms of inflam
mation— as backache, scalding urine '
and frequent urination, as well as sedi- '
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the 1
blood has caused rheumatism, it is ;
simply wonderful how surely "Anuric”
acts. The best of results are always *
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism t
in the joints, in gravel and gout, and
invariably the pain: and stiffness which ,
bo frequently and persistently accotn
pany tfie disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and , t
Bimply ask for a 50-cent package of
"Anuric,” manufactured by Dr. Pierce, ‘
or even write Doctor Pierce for a free (
sample. If you suspect kidney or blad- <
der trouble, send him a sample of your ^
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce’s chemist will examine it, then '
Dr. Pierce will report to you, without <
fee or charge. ’ .
Note :— French scientists affirm that
1 Anuric* is thirty-seven times ne re
active than lithia in eliminating uric '
acid, and is a harmless but reliable r
chemical compound that inav be sat .
given to children, but eh ml be c-, j '
only by grown-ups who aetuallv wish to I
restore their kidneys t ■ perfect health, i \
by conscientiously using one b--\ — or \
more in extreme case-—as "Anuric''
_(thanks to Doctor Pu ree's achievement)
is by far the most perfect kidney and '
bladder corrector obtainable.

DON’T LET YOUR SWEET
POTATOES ROT
The sweet potato is too valu
able to permit to rot when it
can be saved so easily and with
no expense. If sweet potatoes !
are carefully handled without
severe bruising at time of har
vest, are properly assorted with
the rotten potatoes thrown out
before storing and are well
ventilated for ten days after
hilling they will not rot. Where
potatoes are grown for home
use only it is not necessary to
have an expensive potato house.
The home potato hill proper
ly managed will always save
the potatoes,The details of this
method and others are given in
bulletin No. 124 of the Arkan
sas Experiment Station which
can be secured by writing the
College of Agriculture, Fay

FALL PLOWING TO CON
TROL WEEVIL
To protect next year’s cot
ton crop, destroy the feed and
hiding places of the boll weevil
now. Weevils stop feeding and
hide in old cotton stalks, burs
and bolls and other trash with
the first freeze. Destroy their
food supply and shelter before
the freeze by plowing under
all rubbish and cleaning up the
fence rows and corners. When
freezing weather comes the
last generation will be exposed
and great numbers will be de
ence of conditions which makes
it impossible to reply to any
single question rike those of
prohibiting in terms which
would fit the whole country.
With much respect,
“Cordially and sincerely
yours,
“WOODROW WILSON.”

the Shannon and Grogan let
ters. The difference was in the
condition in the two states. Mr.
Wilson commended the move
nent for local option in New
Jersey, but for Texas said, “I
relieve that for some states
datewide prohibition is possi
>le and practicable. I have no
•enson to doubt from what 1
inow of the circumstances that
tatewide prohibition is both
micticable and desirable in
Pexas.”
Both of these retters were in
ull harmony with local self
rovernment and also with state
vide prohibition. Those who
mow the history of prohibition
n any dry state knows that the
irst effort was for local option
hen for total prohibition. The
ame positions then taken by
’resident Wilson would justify
avoring local option, then for
otal prohibition. The same
•ositions then taken by I’resi
lent Wilson would justify fav
ring local option in Pennsyl
ania and statewide prohibi
ion in Arkansas, which is
loubtless the position of the
'resident at this time.
I’sing one of these letters
without the other wholly mis
epresents the president’s posi
ion. Every man, whether a
irohibitionist or not, who
ants a fair deal and who
could resent this wrong to the
'resident of the United States

stroyed and few will be carried
through the winter in our fields
to attack next year’s crop. Now
is the time to do effective work.
Remember plowing under
waste materials in the fields
before December 1 will not
only help to control the boll
weevil, but it will do much to
maintain the fertility of the
soil.
DON’T BURN TRASH
The most expensive, yet the
quickest way to get rid of trash
and crop remains in the field is
by fire; however, this practice
cannot be recommended. The
best farmer never burns any
thing that can be used as fer
tilizer. It is true that fire de
stroys great quantities of plant
food and too much of our soil
fertility goes up in smoke every
year.Our soils need the organic
matter which this rubbish will
supply. This material Will sup
ply a great deal of plant food
for the next crop. While de
caying it will also supply food
for many beneficial organisms
and this same rubbish will op
en up the soil and permit the
free circulation of air and mois
ture which with the help of
these organisms will liberate
new supplies of plant food.
Don’t burn but turn under the
trash before December 1 and
cut down next vear’s fertilizer
bill.
TAKE C ARE OF STOCK
Make preparations now for
providing your livestock with
shelter this winter—sheds to
keep off the cold rains are
enough. Sudden changes in the
weather coupled with exposure
will cost more than this cheap
protection.

HENRY FORD ON
USE OF LIQUOR
The following is taken from
a pamphlet issued by the Ford
Motor Company.
“Alcohol,’’says an exchange,
“will remove stain from sum
mer clothes.”
“That is true, but it also re
moves the summer clothes, also
the spring, the autumn and the
winter clothes, not only from
him, but from the wife and
family as well.
“It removes the household
furniture, the eatables from
the pantry, the smiles from the
face of his wife and the laughs
from the innocent lips of child
ren. It removes happiness from
the home. As a remover of
things, alcohol has no equal.”

TRY II! SUBSTITUTE
FOR NASTY CALOMEL
Starts your liver without making
you sick and can not
salivate.
Every druggist in town—your drug
gist and everybody’s druggist lias noticed
a great falling-off in the sale of calomel.
1 hey all give the same reason. Dodson’s
Liver Tone is taking its place.
“Calomel is dangerous and people know
it, while IVnison’s Diver Tone is perfectly
safe and gives better results,’’ said a
prominent local druggist. Dodson’s
Liver Tone is personally guaranteed by
every druggist who sells it. A large
bottle costs 50 cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case of liv.gr
sluggishness and constipation, you have
only to ask for yonr money back. „
Dodson’s Liver Tone Is a pleasant-tast
ing, purely vegetable remedy, harmless
to both children and adults. Take a
spoonful at night and wake up feeling
fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid
stomach or constipatisi bowels. It
doesn’t gripe or cause inconvenience all
the next day like violent calomel. Take
a dose of calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak, sick and nauseated.
Don’t lose a day’s work! Take Dodson’s
l iver Tone instead and feel fine, full of
vigor and ambition.

GOVERNMENT WARNS
AGAINST GASOLINE
If you don’t think gasoline is
dangerous, listen! Accurate re
cords have shown, says the La
dies Home Journal, that the
I average weekly toll of gasoline
I fires in the United States has
been twenty persons killed and
sixty injured. Many of these
fires have originated in such
common home processes as
cleaning clothing and gloves.
Uncle Sam’s experts have pre
; pared a booklet showing why
gasoline should be handled
| with the utmost care, and what
precautions to take in using it.
This expert advice should be
in every home, garage or other
establishment where gasoline is
used. This bulletin is free as
