V .HE MORNING, STAR, WILMINGTON, N. C.; "FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1920. TWO Mew Faces Oh Old 1 Evil Mean the Same Old Thing ickly 4n these days mites disregard of conBtltutional law maKes - easy me i5''" tlve radicalism. That is why serious minded persons view with alarm, the flagrant disregard of Jaw which ad dicts to strong drink, display. One reason why Great Britain is safest of all the European nations from the red flood is the ingrained respect for law which has ever charac terised the British people. No land loyal to law can be submerged by bolshevisra. Changes, great and funda mental, may come; but they will come by constitutional processes. If the , use or strongr drink so un dermines a person's respect for law and constituted authority that he will defy all the officers and statutes of the land in order to secure, drink, then it is clear, that, for the sake of the very foundations . of organlzedsociety, the drink habit cannot be. too soon elimi nated utterly. John Barleycorn is the world's champion begetter of lawlesshess.- Thus today we face "The Evils of Intemperance," not in the obvious and familiar' forms of the hurt done to the individual drinker; but in the broader aspect of the menace to society and to the Institutions of civilization. V.tAffl mAVA SO flU that even Sunday school lessons muit have an up-to-date moment. Lesson "helps," written more than a year ago. do not apply today. When the international lesson committee chose the present lesson they hadin mind only the evils that ensue to the individual in the use of Intoxicants. They little dreamed of the changed conditions that would exist" when the lesson should come to be stulded, and the new crop of larger evils that would have to be considered. Behold! IVe have a temperance les son with all of the United States legal ly dry; and a large part of Canada; and with prohibition to the fore as a living issue in even Great Britain and other countries so dissimilar in tem perment as the Argentine republlcl When In Europe last year, I found the prohibition legislation in Canada and the States a more general topic of con versation than the league of nations Itself. The immeasurable achievement is to be credited to the temperance movement: it has put the question of total prohibition upon the map of the minds of mankind. Everybody perceives, more or less vaguely, that the world cannot con tinue half wet and half dry. In these standardized days, and in this era of easy communication, a liquor-selling neighbor partially nulifles the prohibition- laws by any state, province or nation. An Urineighborly Snarl One. country does not care to be the liquor saloon of another. It does not comport with the dignity of . Canada to be the source of an illegal' boot legging traffic with the United States. Canada's own "dry" provinces resent the nulification of their laws that the "wet" provinces make possible. Troubles of countless 'kinds follow in the trial of booze; and this irritating and potentially dangerous form of un jieighborliness is one of them. Even the honorable man who himself ap proves of the -sale and use of Intox icants cannot view with equanimity this connivance at the violation of law. It is destructive of good citi zenship in general. Since nations and people are nowa days so tightly bound up together in the bundle of life, prohibition which is the present acute form of the temperance question--has become a many-sided world issue. Either it will have to be discarded where It now exists or else it will have to be adopted everywhere. Theoretically, the advocate of "per sonal liberty" has a good case which falls down before the modern sociaj consciousness which prohibits . the white slave traffic and trade in habit forming drugs. Whatever hurts any considerable portion of the people must be given up, in the interest of the general welfare. "No man. llveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself." ' The Bis Politician's Viewpoint Recently I was talking in Washing ton with a high official of the Amerl con government, himself a leading candidate of the presidential nomina tion, and the subject arose of the "wet" issue's fighting . in the national earn' nalgn. His remarks were so sane an Dig that I repeat them: "You cannot persuade me that the American people : are going to decide a national elec tion, at the mo8t critical period of the world's history, when the destiny of humanity is at stake, upon any such trivial point yas the percentage of alcohol that Is to be permitted in beverages. The hour is too grave for any little thing like a man's fondness for liquor, to be made the issue in a presidential election." That viewpoint-fs entirely jsane and reasonable; yet I fear that my eminent friend did not take sufficiently into account the demoraliaingr effect of booze upon "politics and individuals. "Practical" politicians by the hundred are - basing their activities upon -the "wet"or "dry'' tendencies of candidates and parties. It was a sad. day for democracy when liquor entered politics. Shame lessly open to the gaze- of the world !s the fact that the American states that are "wettest" that is, laxest in law enforcement, are those where In politics have been most notoriously corrupt. Careless citizenship, which has tolerated vicious partisanship, is now reaping a reward of lawlessness that Is possibly worse, In the largar view, than individual drunkeness. Boose and Bolshevism Beyond question, the largest issue on the world's horizon today is that :f bolshevism. And bolshevism is funda mentally a substitution of class-privilege and class-hatred for even-handed Justice for all the'-'people, whatever their calling or condition. Bolshevism is built upon lawlessness. Whatever pro- ROOTS RETURN MAY INFLUENCE HARDING WHITE SOX VICTORY ENDANGERS INDIANS Brooklyn and New York Rest Before Big-Battle NEW YORK, Sept. 23. Only a half game separates the Cleveland Ameri cans and their Chicago rivals, after the White' Sox victory today in the first game of their important series." It was the first defeat in eight games for the Indians and also Chicago's seventh con secutive victory. By winning tomorrow Chicago would go fnto first place wltha percentage of .62838 as compared with. .62758 for Cleveland. Bagby for Cleveland, had pitched two shutout games previous to his appearance In the box today. The New York Yankees, who are two . and one-half gsmes behind Cleveland start a four-game series here tomorrow with Washington, to be followed with three games at Philadelphia. - In the National league, Brooklyn and New York rest! today for their two game series, starting in Brooklyn Sat urday. The two borough rivals also will play three games at the Polo grounds next week. -Brooklyn has a lead of five games and can clinch the pennant by defeating New York twice. The Cincinnati world's champions, elim inated from the ace 'yesterday lost their fourth straight game today. (Continued from . Page One.)

THE DESIRE OF EVERY WOMAN SEE NO DEFECTION OF DEMOCRATIC WOMEN County Chairmen Are Urged to Get' Out New Voters (Special to The Star) RALEIGH, SepJL 23. The women of North Carolina, as a whole, will support the Democratic ticket, In the opinion of leaders of bot hsexes In the capitol who have been making a study of the situation that has de veloped as a result of the ratification of the Anthony amendement. Any sug gestion that the women will "scratch the name of Cameron Morrison because he did not work for the cause of suffrage is discounted by the party leaders in the state. It is believed that at least 75,000 women; wljl g t,o the polls and so far, nothing' has Happened to cause the leaders to fear the division will not be as well defined and the ma jority as great as would be the same nnmber of votes among the males. It is regarded as probable that the Republicans will poll a larger propor tion of their feminine strength In the first election than will the Democrats. The minority will take advantage of the opportunity for i Increasing its strength in the state and will seeto It that the new voters Inclined to Re publican ideas and ideals register and vote in the November election. In view of this, the Democratic chairman is urging that all Democratic women register and vote. - County chairmen are especially urged to impress upon the new voters "the necessity, for the exercise of their -right to vote in November.- ' San Francisco has more telephones In proportion to population than any other large city ' Horace Greeley reached New York with $10 and four years later founded a weekly newspaper. v STOP!

(Par Value $100.00) This Stock is Fully Paid, Non-Assessable, Voting, Tax Free in North Carolina ' Purpose of This Issue r - ' T To provide funds to enable the Pepsi-(Cola Com pany to. install and operate additional syrup factories, to supply Pepsi-Gola syrup to bottlers and fountains, and to otherwise promote the business, fifteen thou sand shares, common stock, par value one hundred dol lars, is offered to the public. .. ; ' It is the intention of the Pepsi-Cola Company to locate the syrup factories in cities where there are sugar refineries, thereby saving freight, charges on sugar, which will average over $1.25 per barrel, basis of new freight tariff . City delivery of 100,000 barrels of sugar, producing 6,000,000 gallons of syrup, would effect a saving of $125,000 freight charges on this item. Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans and Sa vannah are considered advantageous locations on ac- . count of nearness of sugar refineries, and excellent transportation facilities aswell as low rates. Outlook for-the Future The soft drink industry on account of the restric tion of alcoholic drinks, is growing by leaps and bounds. Several hundred additional bottlers have made applica tion for franchise to bottle and sell Pepsi-Cola, but limited facilities for manufacturing and transporta tion difficulties have caused these applications to be de emed. The bottlers and fountains in North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee and District of Columbia have been supplied from New Bern factory, but not without difficulties. The busi - ness of iheseiottlers is too well known to require more thaxfmexe mention ; each is owned and operated by a local company, which acts independently, under license from, the Pepsi-Cola Company; their success has be come by-word. ; History of the Company Some twenty years ago, C. D. Bradham, a drug, gist of New Bern, N. C, after much work and research, originated the formula by which Pepsi-Cola has since been made and marketed. Realizing the possibilities of the drink as a popular beverage, ten thousand dol k Iars was paid in by stockholders, and from this modest investment it has grdwn to its present proportions. Management of the Pepsf-Cola Company is in the hands of the same men who organized it over twenty years ago. They all expect to remain.
