AT Characteristic Utterance of the Fam ous Civil War General Is Master piece of Parental Character Building Advice. The Liquor Problem. H. D. Parker in the AsheviUe Citizen. To suggest a plain, common sense method of dealing with the liquor question may seem the height of temerity in the face of the. vast prejudices and polit ical conjurings. Nevertheless, the writer is convinced by the teachings of a world-wide expe rience and close study that the time is really ripe for the appli cation of first-class business methods to dealing with what is no longer a problem but as much a part of the social organization as the tariff and the currency and public service corporations. In the teeth of a prohibitioiary law there is a very large sum in hard cash annually sent out of the state for liquor, and illicit stills grow up like mushrooms. We get bad whiskey and bad re sults and lose the money besides. The liquor trade of the state deserved the severe lesson they got. They failed to run on proper lines the buiness put into their hands by the state; dirty politics, lawbreaking, social evils, adult erated liquors, all were rightly charged to their discredit. Zeal and emotionalism have had full expression. The lessons taught by former methods of control, the results of he prohibitionary law, the varying uses of alcohol, and human progress toward rational compromise, all point the way. We find a parallel in the past se vere struggles for religious liber ty, trailing through blood and torture of extremes to individual freedom of thought and conduct in moderation. I aim to make of us a sober, free people,- rising above the cant and hypocracy of a make believe, which is really lawless ness. We can attain to a hiffh standard of self-respect and con- T T tfr i . . m u.;; ii. wakeheld, ol V t:, ' ;Tm be ln Morganton, ' .

Lee, recalled to mind a private letttr of the famous general written to this son, under date of April 5, 1852, -when Custis Lee was a cadet at the United States mili tary academy at West Point, and which was found at Arlington house during the Civil war, says the New York Sun. The letter throughout is characterized by conciseness, concin nity and clarity, and on this account should find a place in any anthology as a masterpiece of correct English and a model of parental character building advice: "Arlington House, April 5, 1852. "My Dear Son I am just in the aci of leaving home for New Mexico. My old regiment has been ordered to that distant region and I must hasten to see that they are properly taken care of. I have but little to add In reply to your letters of March 26, 27 and 28. Your letters breathe a true spirit of frankness. They have given myself and your mother great pleasure. You must study to be frank with the world, frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say what you mean to do on every occasion, and take it for granted you mean to do right. If a friend asks a favor you should grant it, if It is reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot. You will wrong him and wrong yourself by equivocation of any kind. Never do a wrong thing to make a friend or keep one; the man who requires you to do so is dearly purchased at a sac rifice. "Deal kindly, but firmly, with your classmates., You will find it the pol icy which wears best. Above all, do nni armpnr to others what you are not.

Then the other ex treme of prohibition was rushed into. I suppose desperate dis-! eases require violent remedies. ! However, cutting off the whole leg because of rheumatism in the ' big toe is hardly wisdom. The liquor interests had their turn, ing beverages. They do not pro duce drunkards. The "alcohol ics" all come from the distilled liquors. The low percentage, brews of malt or wine are daily consumed in enormous quantities by the people of America, Eng land, France, Germany, etc., and the. vast majority of those people are of moderate habits. Our aim therefore must be to discom-age the use of high percentage liquors by making it difficult to .ret them, while freely providing 1 w percentage liquors. The first thing is to put distilled spir its in a class by themselves. In my plan all liquors containing over 4 per cent of alcohol in classified and controlled under the "high-percentage schedule," manufactured under high licensed FJid sold at high prices in order to check consumption. The brewed beers, wines etc., con taining not over 4 per cent of al cohol are classified ar.d controlled under the "low p rcentage sched ule." manfactured unded low license, and sold at low prices. The next point is to provide against the sale of raw spirits and adulteration. Purity and maturity are of first importance, and every package of liquor shall bear a label guaranteeing (1) percentage of alcohol (2) exact nature of contents (3) age limit (4) purity. No distilled liquors to be sold under three years old and no malted liquors under 6 months old. Inspectors to ee that liquors do not leave ware houses until age is attained and also to periodically visit and in spect retailers' premises for adul teration. Retailers of low-percentage liquors.

It is an insult to our common in telligence to say that our view of this subject must be either be sotted or bigoted. Seventy-five to eighty per cent of the adult population are neither hard drinkers nor total abstainers Wants to Confer With Them in Ref erence to Distribution of Crop Funds. Washington Dispatch. Aug, 4th. Representative bankers of 59 arge cities in the agricultural regions of the south, middle west and Pacific coast, were invited by becretary McAdoo today to come to Washington to confer with the treasury department re garding the distribution of the $50,000,000 of government funds about to be deposited in the national banks of those sections to faciliate the marketing and movement of the crops. This unprecedented step, which will call to Washington bankers from the centers that will finance the handling of the great crops soon to be harvested, is designed to give the secretary irst hand information and advice as to the specihe and relative needs of each of the farming districts. It has been tentatively decided to place the deposits in the fifty-nine cities to be repre sented at the conference. Invi- ations were sent by the govern ment to the presidents of the clearing house associations in each of the cities asking them to send representatives or commit tees to Washington to discuss arrangements for depositing the big sums. Treasury officials declared that the entire $50,000,000 which has been offered will be deposited if the situation demands it. It was explained that care will be taken o prevent any undue inflation of the circulating volume of money and that the govern ment would deposit onlv what was needed to assist in moving the crops, with the stip ulation that it must be returned to the treasury as soon as the need shall have passed. At tha conference with the bankers Secretary McAdoo will discuss the amount needed and the dates to be named for the gradual re turn of the money to the govern ment. The department expects to begin making the deposits before the close of August and gradual ly to feed the money into the se lected centers as the demand grows through the crop moving period. 1 - ' j Ulllliivlu iiui wwfc ,-w and it is now time for the large : That fact alone is sufficient an j i . 1 T I - i maiontv of the people, who are moderate in views and conduct, to find o workable compromise on sound sensible lines. The first step is to take the matter entire ly out of politics. I would have a liquor commission puDiicauy elected every 5 years, composed of 5 commissioners, subject to referendum and recall, and with privilege of re-election. Choose men of the highest character and pay good salaries, say $7,000 or $8,000. When we reflect upon millions of dollars annually leav ing the state and the need to put men above temptation we shall realzie the necessity of installing good machinery. Divide the state into 5 districts and have sub-commissioners appointed for cities of over 5,000 population. Stipulate that no officer shall mix in politics nor canvass for elec tion to the commission. The ma chinery will demand much care ful construction. Now let us turn to the subject matter. First, in regard to alco hol as a poison. High-percentage alcohol "produces symptoms of poisoning, but it is not so deadly a poison as, say strychnine. Yet we Uoe strychnine in small doses as one of our most valuable med icines. In the same way lo.v percentage alcohol is not a pois on. Light beer and wine contain ing up to 4 percent of alcohol are tonics and only mildly stimulat svver. The moderate arinKer is in the vast maionty and it is time for that majority to rule and establish a rational scheme of control. MOTHERS! HAVE YOUR CHIL DREN WORM3?
