Ganderbone's March Forecast
The ides of March willeame again,
When Caesar's blood was let;
The toes of Bryan will hide ont
Behind the parapet;
And when he sees them luiking
there, .
He'll guess their fell intent
And run just like his friends all
hope
He'll run for President.
The candidates Republican will
pass the stand again, and the port
ly form of Mr. Taft will show a
handsome gain; the whiskerlets of
Hr. Hughes will float upon
the breeze the fleet that sailed Ma
gellan's Straits will cruise the wes
tern sea*; the infant boom of Co -
Ulyou will grimly yield the ghost,
and the fleet will run the banquets
on the other Latin coast.
Another lot of foreign counts,
and busted sports and old. will come
across to marry more of our dead
easy gold; a count will marry a mil
lion cool, and a discount two or
three, &ud gokland and girl (and
horse laugh lotld) they'll all put
out to sea; aud whilt the Goulds
give Boni one—just one— more
chance, alack, we'll all steal off and
kick ourselves quite low down on
be back. fj
The country papers will get used'
To Uncle Sam's mandate'
That they may not hold readers
who
Are not paid up to date;
But the Government will not as
sist
At squaring things, somehow,
With old subscribers made so mad
They never will pay now
March was the first month of the
Roman year, aud was named from
Mars, the god of war. Mars look-'
ed like a twin brother to Richard
P. Boboon, and he v. as 111 €" regular
Roman delegate to the Peace con
ference at The Hague. He was
supposed to be the father of Rorn
nlus, the founder of Rome, but he |
not: he was only the young man's
godfather. In ancient warfare it i
was customary to place a good
bronze bust of Mars on the field \
and theu fight for it.
The comedy of life will be about
what it has been—the men will la
bor day and night, and the wives of
men will spin. They'll have a club
for every day, and never cease to
go; they'll learn to talk of many j
themes their husbauds do not know;
they'll hear a lecturer from Greece I
another on Japan, another on the \
Renaisaoce, and several on man;;
they'll hire a lot of loug-haiied
freaks to make them erudite, they'll
work oa papers everv morn, and

WILL RESENT INTERFERENCE
North Carolina Will Give a Solar
Plexus Blow to the Natioal
Liquor Dealer*' Association'
(Duplin Journal)
Several liquor dealers of the
Statemetin Wilmington Monday
to perfect a State organization of
the liqnor dealer, which, acting in
concert with Tbi National Liquor
Dealers' Association, will furnish
-amoaign literature and speakers
to fight State prohibition in the
coming election, May 26th Liquor
dealers from Salisbury, Wrtiston
Rocky Mount jind ®ther towns
were present
The chief campaign arguments
of the liquor dei lers will be, (1)
that prohibition Joes not prohibit;
and (2) that thi election will not
effect present prohibition territory
in the State.
If prohibition does not prohibit
then why should the National
Liquor Dealers' Association be con
cerned. The fact that they will
furnish money, liquor, literature
and orators for the campaigu is the
best evideuce that prohibition does
prohibit and that State prohibition
will the more prohibit the sale of
liquor in the State.
Second. If the great tnajorffT
of the people in the State want
State prohibition as the electiou
will fully demonstrate, why will
not every section of the State
(whether wet or dry now) be af
fected alike by the election and
State prohibition prevail. If the
Legislature wisely left State pro
hibition to a vote or the people re
gardless of any political differences,
have not the people a right to get
tie the question of State prohibi
tion by their votes? Aud who shall
question their right to do so? Shall
a National Liquor Dealers' 'Asso
ciation outside the Stata question
the right of the yeople of North I
Carolina to vote their State fori
prohibition and yet argue that pro- 1
hibition does not prohibit?
When did NurtbCaroliua give to 1
tl>e National I.iquor Dealers' As
right to say whether
its should .submit a
State prohibition law to its own j
people aud yet reserve the riftht to j
prohibition territory now satisfac
tory to its people? This campaign j
will be simply the National Liquor
Dealers' Association's campaign.
The Wilmington Messeuger, which
is fighting State prohibition states
that "the State Liquor Dealers'
Association which it is understood
will become affiliated with The
National Association with the pur
pose cf fighting against the pre:-e»t j
prohibition move inept in North
Carolina" practically admits as
