SOME BROWN SCRAPS
Reasons Given by Hon. J. L. Brown
For Favoring County Prohibition
We all should have a reason
For ever thing we do,
And as I have some reasons,
I’ll give the same to you.
In seeking legislation,
lam sure that we should
Seek such legislation
As would do our people good.
We should seek to move the evil
That may about us stand—
As the still house is an evil,
Let us drive it from our land.
And so in order to do that I present
ed House llill No. 121 which prohibits
the manufacture, selling or giving
away of any intoxicating liquors in
Independence county.
Some may ask, what is your reason
for seeking county prohibition? Why
not work on a broader scale and seek
state wide prohibition, which will also
give us county prohibition? My reply
is:
First, we are working for state-wide
prohibition, but we do not know that
we will get it, and we do not want to
trust too far to an uncertainty.
In the second place, we do not know
how far a state-wide law will reach.
It may prohibit the sale, but not the
manufacture of whiskey. If so, then
the distiller can arm himself with a
government license and keep the stench
under our nose. But if House Bill
No. 121 becomes a law the smoke of
his torment can’t go up inside our
county lines. So it will be better to
have our county protected, even in a
dry state than run the risk of having
it unprotected in a wet state.
Conditions demand that our county
have such a law, even mougn an inner
counties have whiskey Why? Be
cause we have at Batesville the oldest
college in the state. Hundreds of
ciiildren have been gathered in the
Odd Fellow* Orphans home; hundreds
more will gather at the Masaaic Home.
A whiskey maker or vendor can not
enter either of these lodges. After the
Odd Fellow or Mason is dead, shall
their orphans be carried to and rock
ed in the shadow of a still-house? I
trow not. I think the Masons, Odd
Fellows and all other good fellows
throughout the county want not only
the egg broken, but the hen that lays
the egg, drove off the nest. If we tell
our children we do not want them
snade-bit let us not raise snakes in
our back yards. If we tell our boys
we want them to be sober, let us drive
the drunkard-makers out of our coun
ty. The temperance folks have to
flghteverv two years under local option
to keep whiskey down. The men in
the fore front of the battle for whiskey
are men that own and run distilries.
They form the back bone of whiskey
opposition. Do we want to stop this
war? If so let us pass House Bill No.
127 which will do it.
If the majority has a right to rule,
and you say it has, whiskey men ruled
when they were in the majority. They
made their whiskey and run their sa
loons, despite the protest of tlie minor
ity The table has turned; the pro
hibition folks are in the majority at
this time. It is a poor rule that will
not work both ways. Let whiskey
men now reap what they one time
sowed. Let them eat the fruit of their
doings. Let them take up their beds |
and walk. Yes, but you say they will J

Some petitions have come in
That’s long and thick, not short

Send yours along.
Just ask these men in Arkansaw
To stand and help me pass this law
To stop this wrong.
Yours for sobcriety and a good gov
