A Review of the Effect of the Watts Bill by Mr J W Bailey- To the Editor: the most signifi cant feature of the situation with re gard to progress in the temperance cause in JNorth Carolina is this: THE l'EOTLK HAVE THE QUESTION ABSOLUTELY IN THEIR HANDS. If they desire prohibition in any city or county they can get it If the'friends of prohibition are really aroused, they will not fall back now because the London bill has been de feated, and wait for another General Assembly. They will go right on with the battle. It is far wiser to establish prohibition by vote of the people than to institute it by act of the Ueneral Assembly. If in any city or county the peo ple are not ready for prohibition and they are not ready in many they may now go forward into a campaign for dispensaries with a view to destroying the saloon and making way for prohibition. Let your disappointment in the General Assembly be expressed in this manner rather than in com plaints. Many members said, "the people are not ready"; others said, "leave it to the people." It remains now for the people to vindicate us who spoke for them and said, "the people are ready and they have spoken." The sentiment that has aroused so magnificently should not die now; the battle lies all before us. We have fighting ground; and we can sweep the State. Indeed, if we shall not, I shall be willing to admit that the Geueral Assembly guaged the proportions of the demand for tern pcrauce legislation more accurately than I did. I lay it down as a rule that it is unsafe to institute prohibi tion or restrictive measures in coun ties or cities that would not vote for them in a fair election, now that the ballot has bsen purged, So far as practical advantage is concerned, I do not regret .that the burden of proof was not put npou the advocates of the license system. In my 'judgment this would have given them, not us, the advantage. It would have forced them to get up a petition; and the side that gets up the petition gets np the first and most thorough organization. 1 did wish our commonwealth to take high ground to declare for prohibition to recognize the moral forces. But so far as practical advantage is con cerned, we have lost nothing consul arable here. We have this advantage: In local option elections the advocates of the accuse system must carry a majority of the votes cast in order to win, On the other hand, the temperance forces may divide between prohibi tion and dispensary. But from any point of view it is desirable that the oponents of the saloon in a town or county shall act together and present a definite policy, it will be unwise to institute a dispensary where pro hibition can stand; it will be Joulisn to institute prohibition where noth. in.T less than a disnenaur nan atand. They say that the Watts bill not a temperance measure. That re mains to be seen. I regard it as measure that will make decided Iv for the progress of temperauce in North Carolina. It was desperately opposed by the liouor men and desperately auvocatea ny the friends of temper ance. Of coure one may argue that me nunneries ana saloons win oni remove to incorporated towns, think that there is more danger that tuey win move deeper into the back woods and become blockade enter prises. I am sure the towns will not tolerate them. There are 618 regis tered distilleries in North Carolina now. I think the Watts bill will re duce that number by two-thirds or more within a year. And I fear that many of them will become un registered distilleries. Moreover, the Watts bill is supple mented by the Revenue Act, which lays a heavy license on distilleries and on wine-selling. This will also serve to cnt down the number of distilleries, and make the local wine business far too costly for;the cross roads store. I reach the hope, therefore, that uie nans act as m suinus win: (1.) Reduce the number of distil lerics considerably. (2 .) Improve the envrionment and conduct of distilleries. (3.) With the assistance of the Revenue Act put the wine-sbopt out or Business. (4.) Abolish the rural saloon, save in incorporated rural towns, which must be protected by county com. missioners. The WatU act permits the manu. facture of brandy, but the Revenue Act puts a tax on manufacturers that sell brandy and suffers its sale only in unbroken patkages of five gallons o more. I have found many conservative men in tn ueneral As sembly rood church members that declare a brandy clause must be inserted in any prohibition act. take it that our country preachers nave quite a campaign of education to ware on this line. xnis raninas me mai in toe en- CURE8 CAMOEB AND BLOOD POI SON.

The blockado business must be choked out by alert public senti ment. So must the wine, cider and brandy business be guarded. I count, too, on the moral leaders of the people to clear the fog raised by those who cry out that the inaction ia based on patent distraction and is commended by sound sense. It is also in accord with the progress of temperance in North Carolina. Such progress as has been made tnese ten years has been made in the country largely, upon petition of the people for the incorporation of churches and school-houses with a view to ridding- thoir communities of the presence of distilleries or saloons. I have feareu much for the small incorpoiated town. But there is at least one way to prevent the saloons und distilleries from settling down upon them, that is, to make tne matter an issue in the election and elect a board of county commission ers that will not issue license. Either do this or call an election for the entire county. In my opinion, the sooner we compel the public leaders to face the issue, the better. We have all to lose by dallying. This may likewise be said of the Anti-Jug law. Any county that wants it can get it bv electing men pledged to get it. The General As sembly will not hesitate to enact the law for any county whose representa. tivns advise it. The London bill did not past the House or Senate because it could not develop sufficient strength. The Watts bill passed only by the most strenuous efforts. Uu three occa sions it was practically defeated, but its opponents seemed not to recognize their success. The prestige of the Democratic party carried that mil through. I doubt if even that could have carried a stronger measure. The people must choose temperance men li mey want temperance u-jjio- lation. There are a good number of teni' peratice men in the Assembly. But some of these were unwilling to pass the act without a vote of the people. I do not doubt the genuineness of their attitude. There were men who made a pretext of the "leave-it-to-the- people" argument, but those men did not make this argument effect ual. Genuine temperance men did that. Now that the ignorant black vote has Wn eliminated, none of us should be averse to referendums or initiatives. Without them the hope of actual Democracy is surrendered, For my part I must rejoice in every opportunity to develop the spirit of Democracy in North Carolina. The Watts act will also serve to make prohibition or the dispensary svstem offectual in the towns. Pro hibition was made a failure in Ral eigh by the establishment of saloons just outside of the citv. This can now uo more be done. In two years we can and will sweep the State for prohibition and dispensaries, and as a consequence a General Assembly will be elected that will iindvrsbind that the people aie in earnest and that will hearken to their ietitious in this and other such matters. 1 cannot close this letter without thanking the people in eveiy quarter of the otate who have so freely work ed with me. I would also thank Senator Londou, who gave his name and character and energy to our bill Senator Brown, who rendered in. valuable service day after day, and finally brought the bill through the committee witn a favorable report; Mr Josephus Daniels for his person. al assistance given in unstinted de gree; and to the News & Observer for its magnificent work. I have not known one issne of a Ivorth Carolina paper to have so great and immediate effect as that memorable issue early in the struggle. I feel constrained to say, also, that the committees, on 1'ropositions and Grievances heard us with mnch courtesy, and I thank their chairmen especially for their consideration. Mr Vann stood for leaving the mat ter to the counties. I am sure Mr WatU would have encouraged stronger measure than the Watts bill if he had thought it could be carried. His refusal to encourage amendments on the ground that his lull was as strong at the House would -bear was justified by the great difficulty with which all the friends of immediate temperance legislation combined cariied his bill through. bineerely, Josuh William Bailey, Chairman Anti-Saloon Leagus.

He thinks schools for the negro are a great mistake. He savs they are spoiling him.
