A K«» Yoric offtMi
d»Uwrs fxc ^ b«st essay ot not te
exceed gfteen hundred worte upcn tie
subject of what witt happen after titis
irar. The IjouisviUe Coorier-Joortutl
datmed the prize for its essay of tvo
vords, Wars,” and a good
miany ^ us would be witliris to give
the briUianl paraerapher the moiiey.
But th»e is a ntOTe serious side to
the prapositiou.
Of course nobody , knows what will
liaptken after this war; there is. no
way of knowing. We have no.prws-
dents by which to be govenied, 1%ere
have been no other wars like this oiie.
But it is dragging along toward its
end—of ought'to b^-and all of us are
interested in what I; ;gHng to happen
aftei-ward.
Are w;e going to have a stream of
inuhigrants pouring into this country ?
Are the people of Europe going to be
burdened with war taxes, and are
they going to find , life so altogether
unpleasant in the scai'red and marred
world they now know, that they are
going to seek relief from it all and
come to these shores, or are they going
stay at home and help, to repair the
dai^ge? It niight be worth something
to us to have an answer to the ques
tion. - ,
There are those among us who be
lieve that there will be little migra
tion toward this country after the war.
They base their belief upon history,
for it is a W3ll known fact that after
a war the scarcity of labor in the
country tends to keep the men at
home, to recoup the damage. But this
war Bas i'een ku ni.uch greater +>Mn
other struggles, the damage ha? been
so great, it will requii'e so long to re
pair the damage done, and it is going
to require so much money, that there
are those also among us who believe
we shall be overrun with the unfortu
nate people of Europe.
Then, another question which can
not be answered, is that of the state
of commerce aftsr the war. The
'.vorid’s .supply of manufactured pro
ducts, fur iii.'tancs, ■.%':!] have-linen used
up when the war eiuls. Everything
ni.>ide by man will be needed. It will
require years for all of the factories
of the world to catch up with the de
mand, if al! of the projierty destroyeJ
is to be re placed. So from that stand
point, every iudu.stry in the land ought
to be running over-time as .soon as
the ivar endj.
But tt'here ai'c the people of Kuropc
going to get money with whicli to re
place the things that have been ties
troyed or used up by war? That is r
lucstion which will have to U’. s>«;U'cd
liefore we figure too seriously upon
worki-wide era of prosi>erity. U is in-
evitable that the people of Europe will
be bankrupt when the war is over
with few exceptions, noliody have
used up, as a genera! thing, all of the
funds they have on h:iiid. Their busi-
ntihes have been shot to pieces. Thesr
trildf is gone. The working men must
all he in debt—so deeply they will
iever get oat. So it is a serious thin^
to think about—cifter the w;ir is end
ed.

sAer voiMi that of the Fedwsrf Re
serve Boarii. This iwiiucAl org»mzs-
tion is distinctly and entirely sn ^|Sci'
al body. It is made up wholly of
Federal office holders tutder the pre
sent regime. Its duties are to keep
up the song of how well off the Unit-
,«d States is; to i^rtray constantly
a better business outlook, and as
8trohg:ly as dieretion permits, to in
sist that good business is the develop

This organization of sweet singers
of prosperity has had .an interesting
and a pictureque career. At first it
was confined to the membets of the
Cabineti These were sent forth into
all parts of the land at short intei^'ah
to preach the existence «if good times
and the blindness of the people who
could not see the prosperity . that
Demcfcratic policies had brought into
existence. One one of the Cabinot
members spoke their little piece, and
then expectantly waited for the change
in public sentiment that they assumed
was certain to come as the result of
their efforts.
But this sentiment did not material
ize. It became necessary for the
White House to take further steps.
New recruits were accordingly mustei-
ed in, and new forces put to work to
find, a prosperity. The bank examin
ers of the Treasury were appealed to
for reports, and from these there was
made up et statement that proved to
the satisfaction of the Administration
that the country was going along pt
full speed on the road to gouu tirriCi.
Now comes the Federal Reserve Board
with a statement of the financial con
dition of the country, one that is sup
posed to show flourishing business
condition.?, but which neglects to state
how much present conditions are due
to the war abroad.
What difference this is from the
Democratic cmsade of 1912. In that
campaign the air was lilled with songs
pitched to the opposite tune. There
were frenzied periods aboat the av.'fi’l
social, economic and industrial condi
tions which made the United States an
unfit place in which to dwell, unless
the IHmocratic party v/as put in
charge of affairs and p.;moeratic poli
cies put in effect at once This coun
try Was growing richer, and the poor
poorer; where high taxes are high liv
ing co.'st .sapped the subslEnce of th^
toilci'. There wei-e shriks of anguish
over the totttriiig liliorties of the peo
ple and the perils of the situation.
Today this -same Democratic party
is busy endeavoring to convince the
country that the outlook is, that some
time in the future there will be the
same praperity in the nation that ex
isted in 1912. That party is now loud
in it*! deiiunriatioii of any one who
daro.'.' to refer to idle workmen, silent
faclorie.':. Unused freight cars and fail
ing r.venucs. It is centering its at
tention upon attributirig whatever in-
dustria! depression may exist to a war
which has turned an apprpathing de
ficit in oar e.vchange account with for
eign nations into an enormous trade
ba[»n«tt
But .sophistry cannot long hoV.l
sw'.iy in the United St.ates. All of th«
office holders in the la.nd. joined tn one
loud chorus, cannot be-cloud either
the facts or the: issue. Their singing
of the prosperity ss off the ^^7
and the people know it. And thi.
knowiedjte cannot be taken away ly
any irvsacts on the part of the Ad
ministration.

That tVie inter-state commerce com-
mis^h and federal authorities will
begin an investigation of the shipment
of liquors into North Carolina ui^^r
false pretends, is the belief of lo^l
authorities who. expeist to aid, if such
an action is taken.. Yesterday a bar
rel of Hquor was received here un
der the pretense of apples, while in
Greensboro a barrel of liquor was de
tected billed as seed potatoes, lii tha
eastern part of the state it was found
that a large amount of liquor had
b^n shipp^ in a common wooden
coffin. The last iMntioned false pre
tense case was thought by the au
thorities to have been the most ori
ginal, “dead men tell no taiea,” idea,
ever-brought to light in the handling
of the coffin juice traffic.
It iij the belief of the local authori
ties that the inter-state commerce of
ficials and the federal authorities will
make rigid investigations and it is be
lieved that many violations will be
unearthed.
. For several weeks tile officers of the
various cities in North Carolina have
been attemptiiig to find out how li
quor was being shipped into the state.
The finding of the liquor in the coffin
and the barrels brought about the
necessary knowledge and in the fu
ture regular inspection.s \vill be made
to stop this scheme.
It will how be up to the liquor re
tailers to find a better plan than they
have h»(l in the past. Up until th;
pre.=;ent time the officers have succeed
ed in blockinjr thoir every move and >.t
now geents as if the handlnrs of li
quor wiJl have to use their thinkini;
apparatus toward concocting a better
idea.
If the inter-state commerce a;>d fed
eral authorities can find out who ship
ped the liquor into this state they can
have them arrested under several dif
ferent cha.'ges. However, it i.s believ-
e'l that in cach in.'tanco the liquor was
nhipped under ficticious n.-imc.";.

Sixty Hate of Boom Get Mixed Ui»

Barrel of Virctnia Apples.
There seem.s to be an enormous de
mand for whiskey in Durham, and
that .the liquor dealers of Virginia
and the blind tigers of this city a;-e
resortiiig to ingenious methods to
snuiggle enough booze into the city
to satisfy this demand is a fact that
wjis brought to light yesterday after
noon by the officials of the local Set-
board freight depot.
There wa^ received at the freight
depot yesteiiiay afternoon a barrel
marked; “apples," . which was con-
s.igoed to a Mr, J. Floyd of Durhiim,
but when an Inspector of the Sea
board freight office became suspicious
and opened the barrel to find out
why it .weig|\ed -so much more thari
an ordinary liarVel of apples, he un
earthed a method of side-stepping the
new Grier quart law. The barrel a*,
both ends \v:vs tilled with apples but
in tha cenijr safely stored away;
were si.'ciy pints, of Sunny Brooii j
whiskey. '
The barrel of apples and booze w.is :
turned over to the police, who will j
attempt tu get hold of the party to i
whom the a.upies were shipped. - How- !
Ver no one .•ieem.s to know of a J. I
Fioyd, and it is thought that this is:
•.SOMKTHiNG ELSE BE.VUTIFUU’

local blind tiger was to have receiv'id !
the gixt.v pint.s. The liquor traffic in j
Durham curtainly received a bad |
blow when the sixty pints got int.)]
the hand.^ of the police, and those j
who have been longing for a draught i
of the “bujf juiL’e” will continue wiui 1
an unsiiti.-rficd craving.

There is a very genera! disposition
to know what has bocome of Great
Britain's mastery of tho sea. It looks
a.s if something was the matter wh'.n
vhe cannot protect her own shipping
on htr own coasts, and then wants to
know what the United States is go
ing to do about it when a Brit.ish ship
is destroyed.
Of course, if Germany thinks w^e
will stand for it she will just keep
right on doing it.
