Charlotte Observer.
The Stanly Nows-Hemld brings
information Os the death of Mr. John
S. Turner, at his home across the
line from Stanly in Cabarrus Coun
ty. Turner was a private with a
war record of distinction. He served
in Barringer's cavalry and along in
1880 wrote a series of articles for
The Concord Sun of experiences in
Barringer’s brigade that was no
doubt preserved pi many libraries
as a valuable contribution to Con
federate history. Editorially. The
News-Herald adverts to the incident
of the minnip ball Smashed into a
bridle buckle, which was graphically
narrated in The Sun. the buckle and
the ball being yet preserved in his
•family as n memento of the cavalry
battles in which Turner was engag
ed. General Rufus Barringer was of
ten heard to remark upon the sin
gular dash and bravery of the
Cabarrus county cavalryman . and
the general had assessed Turner’s
contributions on cavalry history as
the best that had been produced to
that time. It had been his determina
tion to print Turner's stories in book
form, but that purpose never accom
plished, more's he pity.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
The 19th Must Aid the 18th.
Monroe Journal. .
j Speaking in Raleigh the other day.
the president of the Woman's National
| Committee for 1 .aw Enforcement, de
■ dared that the Nineteenth Amendment
| must come to the aid of the Eigli-i
j teenth Amendment, in other words,
that the women must save prohibition.
The remark was occasioncu by the
terrific assault that has been started
upon the Volstead law. This assault
has been growing in intensity and
breadth for some time. It ; s having a I
very bad effect upon the enforcement
of the law, and poor enforcement in
turn increases the opportunity for
arousing discontent, especially in the
minds of the thoughtless. A big news
paper syndicate is now conducting a
straw vote on three questions: En
forcement of the law as it is, modifica
tion of the law, and the manufacture
nnd sale of wine and beer. Os course
everybody who has a grievance of any
kind against prohibition is voting and
1 this makes the vote appear to indi
-1 cate that the country is against pro
hibition. or at least str'et prohibition.
Rut necessarily the voting is mostly
| done by people in the larger cities
[ nnd is far from conclusive. The
straw voting is merely a ruse to stir
up dissatisfaction and to impress c:»n
--t gress.
Coming Bark as an Issue.
Tlte New York World, the chief
newspaper spokesman against prohi
bition, defines the purpose of the straw
vote and of the wets generally in this
way; "The practical effect of the I
poll is to make prohibition a major j
issue in the election next fall, and
barring unforseen foreign or economic |
crisis, the major issue in American
politicm for some time to come. The
poll shows that the time lias come for
the liberals to make an organized ef
ford to break the control of the Anti-
Saloon League in Congress. They I
may not be aide to do so this year, ’
but they can certainly weaken the dry !
and strengthen the wet roprosentaCon
in Congress. Then they can organize
for 1928. The drys ought to under
stand that the wets have no intention
of trying to force liquor upon com
munities that prefer to remain dry.
Those states which choose to remain
Volstead standards should certainly do
so, and there can be no objection to
Federal assistance in preventing the
importation of liquor Into bone-dry
territory. What the liberals should
ask for is determination by each state
of the prohibited alcoholic content nnd
Federal assistance in the mainten
ance of that standard. They should
ask. in short, for states' right with
Federal co-operation.”
Have Got to Go Over It Again.
There seems to be no present Inten
tion of the wets to attack the amend
ment for a long time to come- Cer
tainly this would be useless for it is
inconceivable that three-fourths of the
states would vote for an appeal. This
is a ease where the small states have
as much power as the large ones. The
small states are rural and dry. The
'arger -cities, where the wet desire
rages most strongly, arc all in the
large Rtates. For this reason there
ran be no hope of repealing the
amendment. Rut when it comes to the
Volstead law and its enforcement, then
the matter of changes and the large
states have more power than the small
ones, except in the Senate. Hence,
the World points out. the fight is to
be made at present to get as many
wet members of congress as possible
now and two years hence. So we are

“No one has any right to speak
with authority of Canada who has
seen only the East or the West.”
It was Her Excellency the Lady
Byng of Vimy who made this
statement recently at a luncheon
of the Ottawa Women’s Canadian
Club shortly after her return from
a trip across and through Canada
over a matter of some 8,000 miles.
Accompanying His Excellency the
Governor General, Lady Byng had
visited practically all parts of
Canada meeting at every stopping
plax the warm welcome Canadi
ans everywhere reserve for “Byng
of Vimy” and his charming lady
and, not less important, becoming
acquainted with Canada’s un
rivalled and never-ending succes
sion of scenic glories.
“I feel I have some plea to come
to speak to you on Canada”, said
Lady Byng. “I come as a sort of
■edwsrHsinir aaant 4a boar at «ou
j to have the fight all over the country,
except, perhaps in the very dry states
where at pneent, at least. f|-w tvet I
eamiidntes. will appear. The hope of
the wet movement at present is to
modify the Volstead law, which de-1
lines intoxicating liquors and provides I
for the enforcement of the law. The
constitutional amendment does not
define.intox cating liquors, but merely
prohibits the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquor. It thus leaves
congress to say what is meant by in
toxicating liquor and the courts to
construe any law lliat has been or may
be passed. It can thus be seen that
should the wets succeed in getting a
majority in both houses of congress
they could pass laws which would
largely nullify the prohibition amend
ment itself. If they could do this their
next effort would be to repeal the
amendment and thereby put the whole
question back on local option where it'
was before the amendment was pass
ed, and under which 98 per cent of the
territory of the country had already
gone boae dry and a large majority of
the population also. If tbewets could
open the large cities for the sale of
wine and beer thy would probably be
satisfied so far as law was concerned,
but with wine and beer legally manu
factured and sold the lawless element
would be able to Hood the country with
hard llqu&r. for these would be no
means of effectively discriminating in
the enforcement of law.
The Public Is Easily Fooled.
I Everyone who knows much about
1 the art of manipulating public senti
| incut can very easily see the workings
|of the tight against prohibition. It is
easier for self interested minorities to
control this country than it is for the
honest and unthinking majority. Tile
wets contend that the prohibition
amendment was the result of the man-
I ipulation of a minority, but this can
' not be true, for the fact must unques
-1 tionably be that there are Inoi-e drys
than wets in this country, head for
head, or at least that there have been
more. But here is where the shortness
of public memory shows itself as well
as the inclination of the masses to be
whipped about from one position to
another. It was easier to gain prohi
bition than it is to maintain it. The
masses will not long remain in n posi
tive state of mind. They become dis
satisfied with what they have and are
ready to follow the suggestion of
change. Behind the wet light is, as
there has always been, the self inter
ested people who wish to make money
out of the manufacture and sale of
drink. These furnish the money for
propaganda. It is this class that we
had hoped to nee forever put out of
business but it seems that they have
not been. Arranged behind these are
people who wish to drink. Next to
these come the so-called personal lib
erty people. Then too. there has al
ways been a large element who think
that liquor of some kind is necessary
in. sickness and at other times. Then
comes the element who are always for
ajty change. All these are making a
great fuss about prohibition’s failure.
It never occurs to them that if pro
hibition were a failure and they could
t?Vt all the liquor they wanted they
would have no d : ek against prohibi
tion. The surest indication that pro
hibition is reasonably effective is the
cry that these people put up against
it. But these forces are able to raise
a great clamor and the noise makes
a great impression upon the popula
tion and they begin to think that the
tale has turned and they turn with it.!
that you go west and visit there.
I know the terrible question of ex
pense but let me tell you. it ia well
worth it. I do so regret that
people will go to the south of
Prance or some seaside resort,
rather than view the beauties of I
Fthe Canadian Rockies and of Van
couver Island.”
Lady Byng described her first
. view of the Canadian Rockies. “It
' wa. bo great an inspiration. I
cannot convey the beauty and
wonder of that undulating line ris
ing out of the mist; that endless,
unending chain of marvelous
mountains and the valleys below in
colors of aquamarine and emer
alds.”
The opinion of Lady Byng re
garding Western Canada is not
that of a mere passerby. With the
governor-general she has been all
over the country, going by motor
where the rail and river do not
penetrate.
“There are _ those,” said Lady
Byng, “who visit Canada landing
at Quebec, passing on to Montreal,
proceeding to Ottawa, and Toron
to, _ who have gone away giving
their view on Canada. Such views
are always defective even if some
times they are not wholly unfair
and unjust. Canada’s bigness is
evident on the map, but its actual
size is only realized through direct
contact and acquaintanceship.”

BIG EASTER CROWDS
Next Sunday Will Mark 172nd Ob
fervanee of Easter Custom By the
| Moravian Church.
Winston-Salem. March 28. TV
I early morning Easter celebration
I next Sunday will mark the 172nd
I observance of the custom in thin
particular section, the find service
of the kind held by the Moravian
church in North Carolina having
taken place on Easter Sunday, 1754,
jtiat six months after the arrival of
the first band of Moravians from the
statae of Pennsylvania- But that
celebration was not held in the town
of Salem, as the first settlement was
at Bathabara, five miles we9t of this
'city. Salem was not settled until
nearly 10 years later.
Last year the Easter service was
attended by more than 30,000 people
and should the Easter season bring
fair weaather it is predicted that
the attendance this year will be
larger than ever before.
For weeks now have the bands
from the various Moravian churches
of this section been practicing and
not singly but have met on different
occasions an a united band.
AH of the hotels here have reser
vationp that will take every avail
able room and boarding houses are
receiving inquires from various sec
tions of the staate.
The number of ushers this year
has been increased to 500 in an af
ford to properly handle the crowd
and arrangements have been made
looking to an enormous attendance.
