Fifty Year Old
Mother of Sixteen
Sent to the Gang
It Is refreshing to know flint our
efficient prohibition officers have fin
ally t'liuglit somelssly with unotlier
quart of home brew, and esjs*cially is
it i*ni'oiirnging to learn that il was a
young Arkansas mot tier of fifty years
suffering, denials and disappoint
ments, tla* mother of sixteen children
at Fort Smith, Ark.
A leniency plea by defense counsel,
who cited the woman’s large family
and her clear record, brought little
sympathy from tin* bench, as .lodge
Frank A. Youmans replies —“It is too
bad that Theodore Iloosevelt is no
longer living.’’ The man fond of big
families and in sympathy with erring
parents.
(Mir comment is the very fact that
prohibition officers are permitted to
sound an alarm upon the door of a
mother’s domicile, the sanctum sanc
toriuin of American freedom and un
cerimonously molest her, even shoot
her down within her own God-given
reterat. Is enough to condemn them
and tin ir whole works as being of
the devil instead of being in the in
terest of righteousness. We have nine

Hoover HadlTNigger
in the Wood Pile
We thought there was a nigger in
ihe wood pile when Southern states
wont Republican last fall. Florida.
Texas and all other Southern states
that went Republican are up in arms
mil introducing resolutions and proc
amations against what Mr. Hoover
;iiows as ‘‘brunette's" around our
family table. Georgia -crackers did
lioir resoluting last November. Our
comment is, we don’t object to no
ody having a nigger in their wood
pile—in fail, that is where lie should
lie and that is where they are pleased
to be down here in Georgia. You don't
have to eat with a jack-ass to prove
here ain’t no difference lietween you
It's where lie does a tiling and not
>vli!it tie does that makes us Georgia
Tuckers feel kindly toward the Jack
ies as well as the nigger.
