The farce of prohibition raids in this, vicinity is a joke
that all advocates of true temperance apparently take
A lightly. Just why one or two places in the
oe : ‘back mountain region are raidied and a
OH, YEAH! dozen or more are allowed to go scot free is
Af 4 a question that only the prohibition officers
can answer. Plain it is, however, that the
: Jolte | is not on the raided bootlegger. The public is the butt
of the joke and just so long as it votes “dry” and drinks
“wet” it will continue to be the butt of a joke that is costing
it annually millions of dollars for a monster crime bill and
millions of dollars for extra taxation. Unless we are all
hypocrites it is time that we took time out to consider the
~ prohibition question. If we are heartily for it, then we
~ should see that the law is enforced in our community, even
if we have to present the evidence against the bootlegger.
ae we are against prohibition in ‘spirit, but for it at the polls,
itis time that we quit playing the hypocrite and took a defi-
nite stand on a question that is of greatest National i im- |
portance.

The continual bombardment of cigarette advertising
. from every billboard, radio, newspaper, magazine and barn
j or ; throughout the country is revolting, even to
THE, the inveterate cigarette smoker.
"WHITE Cigarettes are justsas bad today as they
_SLAVER ever were. More people smoke them to be
sure, but that doesn’t change their status
“as far as health is concerned. Even the most blantant
advertising of the companies reveals that there must be
something wrong with cigarettes. One company adver-
tises, “Kind to Your Throat,” another “Not a Cough in a
~ implication of such advertising is that some company’s
cigarettes do injure. The general impression given all
smokers is that all cigarettes injure.
Millions of dollars have beeh spent on cigarette advertis-
ing. No wonder they are popular. The companies have re-
sorted to such tactics as sending out cards to reputable
~ physicians throughout the land asking them to fill in cards,
return them and a carton of cigarettes will be returned to
the physican free of charge. The unsuspecting physician
fills in the card, and soon finds that one of the big compan-
ies is using this signature with thousands of others to say
physicians endorse cigarettes.
The real facts are, and we never see them in print except
‘in ‘medical or scientiflc journals, that the cigarette is
largely responsible for cancer of the throat. This terrible
disease is 75% more prevelent in the throats of cigarette
smokers than in non-smokers. While there are thousands
of bright young men and women who smoke, their future
lies behind them as a rule. They drop out of business at an
age when the non-smoker is at his best. These are the men
‘who die of heart failure on the street, in their office or in
their homes. They die at an age when they ought to be in
“their prime.
Japan fully appreciated the danger of cigarettes to its
youth, and in 1900 passed unanimously a law forbidding
their use.
‘We do not believe that it is necessary to stop the manu-
fatcure of cigarettes or to prohibit their use but we do be-
the facts pertaining to the effect of cigarettes upon health
and that newspapers and magazines whether they carry
cigarette advertising or not should publish these facts with
headlines. The close relationship between cancer of the
throat and cigarette smoking is common medical knowl-
edge, but there is hardly a newspaper, magazine or radio
station in the country with the courage to publish or broad-
cast the facts through fear of losing valuable cigarette ad-

capitalism that cannot feed the work-

LETTERS....
TO THE
....EDITOR
506 S. Oates Street,
Dothan, Ala.
Dear Editor:
I am enclosing money order tor
which please renew my subscription to
The Post for another year.
I am enclosing account of the death
of Mrs. Gessner, who lived in Dallas
and vicinity for a period of over fifty
years.
Respectfully,
Peter Gessner.
Mrs. Peter Gessner passed away
July 1st about 9:55 at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. J. W. Levy, of Dothan,
Ala., following a two weeks’ illness.
The ‘end came quietly and unexpected-
ly, the attending physician and loved
ones having entertained hopes that
she was improving. News of her death
spread’ quickly and cast a gloom of
sadness over her circle of frieneds.
Her passing removes from our midst,
one of the most devoted mothers and
true friend to all. The deceased was a
member of the Methodist church, al-
though during her last years her
health was such that she was unable
to take an active part in religious
work.
She is survived by one brother, C.
R. Gordon, of Buffalo, N. Y., her hus-
band, Peter Gessner, one daughter,
Mrs. J. W. Levy, of Dothan, Ala., one
son, Dr. B. A. Gessner, of Baldwin
City, Kansas, and 3 grandchildren. A
beautifull and useful life is ended.

DeartEditor:
Kindly answer this item which ap-
peared in the Dallas News of the Sun-
day Independent.
’ Are We Outclassed?
“Yes, when it comes to expecting
encouragement or financial support
from the Dallas would-be-fans.”
I for one do not think the Dallas
nine is outclassed, as they have, with
the exception of one or two players,
the same team that has taken the
pennant for the past several ‘years.
This fact was not very encouraging
when there was no money or sports-
men among the would-be-fans to hélp
swell the collections in order that the
boys may be given a dinner or at least
some trophy such as the other teams
were in position and had promised the
players in event they had been vic-
torious.
If these fans who are so ready to
criticize the Dallas Nine would come
to the games and give or make their
noise there instead of on paper and
possibly part with a small contribu-
tion ,it may be some encouragement
to the boys.
Dallas nine I believe is the only
team not having a diamond available,
in order that they may at least get
practice one night during the week
Have these fans ever stopped to think
what a handicap this is to any team
whether they be good or bad. Speak-
ing of collections what about the tick-
ets Tommy Reese had issued in order
has the
thatthe town sportsmen had an op- ¢
portunity to show what they would do
to help finance the Dallas Rural Nine?
I believe I can safely say that since
the first appearance of these. tickets,
when Charlie Gregory won the $2.50
(Gold Piece) which the team chanced
off after the game, there has not been
enough sold to at least pay the price
of one baseball. Who pays for these
baseball supplies? Not the loyal fans.
Tommy must dig down in his own
pocket or else meet the criticism of
the opposing teams. That has been the
case for the past two years and those
who know him know that he has al-
ways had such in interest in baseball
that he would not see the boys with-
out this equipment.
he be expected to furnish these when
no other manager in the Rural/League
is called upon to do such. For this
fact, the townspeople turn pat in such
a crowd that it is pot necessary to
ask an ingivraal to dig down.
Let that soak in you would-be-fans.
Come on let us hear your noise on the
field ané not on paper. Give the boys
some encouragement. Remember the
Dallas nine works for everything they
get, no yreaks given them by the um-
pires or any one else.
