Governor Craig in one of the most enthusiastic advocates of gook' roads in the State. In his letter, which was reproduced in yester day's issue of the Daily News, he laid particular stress on the effc that good roads havo in improving community life. It is hoped thu j after tomorrow night's meeting at the Elks' home, plans will be pe fected whereby Beaufort county will make a start towards securiit better highways. The cost of building them, when compared to tli j benefits* to be derived' because of tbern, is so insignilcnnt that it is : constant subject of wonder on the part of visitors to this communit; why we have not gone to work long ago and kept up with the othe progressive counties in the State. However, we believe that the main reason why we have lieen sonu what slow in building better highways. i? because the right steps wer never taken at the right time. But now. with "good times" in tli offing, no more auspicious time could be chosen than the present. THE ASSOCIATED CHARITIES. The Associated Charities is a local organization that is accou plishing much good in Washington at tho present time, and heartil deserves support, from our citizens. During the last few weeks, the organization has been especial! busy and its officers and members have done much good in relievin those who are in need. They have provided a number of childre with shoes, who otherwise would not bo able to attend school. The, have also had the money, required for school books, refunded to thos parents who were unable to purchase them. They havo given foo and clothing to several sick families and they havo done a nutnb< of other thiugs towards" bettering the condition of thoso in poverty The association is doing a big work in Washington and some v? our people who ride around in automobiles and who aro well sup plied with the comforts and luxuries of life, should not be urged t donate to the fund of the association. A contemporary wants to know how to pronounce the Russia) town, "Zswexichs." Tho "L" is silent, as in the English wort! "onion." THE PROHIBITION AGITATION. One of the finest editorials it has ever been our pleasure to rea appeared this week in a paper written exclusively for newspape offices. It was headed "A Temperance Talk to Newspaper Men," an was written by Arthur Brisbane, generally considered as the be* editorial writer in the United States today. We give below a fev of the best thoughts brought out in the article, and we earnestly urg our readers to read it through to the end. The trouble with our prohibition legislation is the fact that i Increases drunkenness. There are many prohibition editors ? no* all of them teetotalers. Some advocate prohibition because the* think it pays, some because thev lack information. A majority arr sincere and earnest. They should welcome information. The population of Italy is 35, 23ft, 997. The population of Maine is 742,787. There is more drunkenness in the State of Maine than there is n the whole of Italy, and for this reason: In Italy there is no prohi bit ion, there are no teetotalers and nobody drink* whiskey. [n the statu of Maine the so-called prohibition law compels every one who drink* at all to drink whiskey because whinkev can W- hiddei and sol ?l secretly. Beer and the light wines, which do not cans' drunkenness and are used by other nationalities without intoxication cannot l?e hidden and are not sold in a prohibition state. In Maine, prohibition keeps beer and light wine* from the peopl< and they drink whiskey and get. drunk, and the same is true oJ Kainsm. where you may read now. after years of prohibition, th interesting but uncertain statement that "drunkenness seem* to l? on the decline." Many editors, including William J. Bryan, advocate prohibit ioi and praise the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson. T)o they know tha Jefferson urged particularly liberal treatment of brewers on th ground that good light, beer alone would drive out the whiskey tha was killing a third of the population 1 And do they know that the brewing of light beer actually has diminished drunkenness just a; the driving out of the light beer and light wine increases drunken ness? It is easy to agree with the prohibitionist if you happen to knov the subject that you are discussing. To see a boy go wrong througl whiskey is nad, but that is no reason for encouraging prohibition which multiplies the use of whiskey and increases drunkenness. Prohibition means hypocrisy, evasion of the law, bribery. Teeto talism, like celibacy, is highly honorable, but reserved for a few Prohibition means whiskey, means the state of drunkenness, against which Jefferson protested when he spoke in favor of light beer and wine. ?.

But let us not illow the teetotaler'! enthusiasm Or the prohibitionist's sincerity, ombined with the Ifypoorisy of publie officios, to bring back whiskey s the national driii, aa it waa in Jefferson's day.. If you try by" law to keep men from drinking any stimnlant then ?hey will get whiskey, which can be hidden. But if you permit and. as Jefferson said, "enoourago" light hear and wine that other nations take without injury and; in my opinion, with great benefit, you will bave uo difficulty in preventing bv taw the wide use of alooholic poisons, whiskey and gin. Why; not attempt that which can be accomplished and which will nroduce real temperance, instead of attempting the impossible, play, ing the game of the distiller and putting the country on a whiskey ''asia. Wlieu a man has a favorite hobby St is bard to make him. get off nd walk the hard road of s commit! Sense. The prohibitionist is not *ond of facts. He does not relish the statement that Maino is more Irtuiken than Germany, with fifty-one times the population of Maine; vansas more drunken than "Germany, with thirty-seven times the jopulation of Kansas. But "facta and not hopes count, and the onunon sense of Thomaa Jeff ergon is worth considerably more than lie pergonal^ and joijjisaT theories^ot Vv illiani J.
