Mr. An-1 the Grand Lodge. At this session COMMENTS ONI PROHIBITION. HEATING BY ELECTRICITY." Senator Simmons Had the Nerve Others Lacked.- Republicans Solid For It. Extracts From Charlotte Observer Washington, Jan, 18. The Simmons interview Jias caused considerable talk, it is believed that the Legislature will' paes a State-prohibition law. The Repub licans in the Senate and House, about twenty-five in all, it is said, win De ior sucn a dux, as none-4 of them come rfrom counties where liquor can be sold. Judge. Pritchard's stand in theAshevilie fight will help to bring the Repub licans together on this question. In giving his opinion on State prohibition Senator Simmons has taken the lead in a fight that is brewing. There were others who wanted to do just what he did but lacked the nerve. The North Carolina delegation in Congress is interested in the subject, but as a rule the individuals do not feel called upon to speak for pub lic consumption. It is generally admitted that the principle of giving a State prohibition by an act of the Legislature is wrous. but those who are in politics see the wisdom o getting on the bandwagon, Judging from events that have gone before, no one with common political sagacity can fail to see what is coming in the State. " The forces are gather ing in Raleigh to storm the Legis lature and everything points to a successful attack. A recent letter from ex-Governor Jarvis indicated the temperament of the State on the question of prohition. Sena tor Simmons beiDg about the wisest North Carolina political leader of the present time, knows that his letter is timely ; ' and it will have much to do with the action of the Legislature, as he is very popular with leading party men in all sections of the State. Raleigh, Jan 18. Chairman John A. Oates, of the State Anti Saloon League, said today that the convention here next Tuesday A New Order of Things Which Science Has scientists nave settled among themselves that a hot body dif fers from a cold body in that the very small particles or molecules,' of which it is composed, are ina state of rapid to-and-fro motion or oscillation. Increasing the temperature only ' serves to in crease the violence of these mol ecular vibrations until the body is melted down or evaporated. When a body is deprived of all its heat the oscillations entirely cease. Therefore it becomes ap parent that energy must be trans mitted or work done on the mole cules before heat oscillations can be produced. If a body is warm ed at the fire the heat energy is transmitted. If two pieces of steel ajp heated by friction, work is done on the molecule? by the application of power. Heat developed r by electricity is.no exception to the above prin ciples. In the transmission or coal energv to Lheat there is al ways a great loss, while electrical energy can always be converted en tirely to heat. This fact alone was sufficient to lead the scien tists and inventors to the develop ment of electric heaters and elec tric cooking devices. The principle of heat by elec tricity is very simple.

SenatorSimmons Thinks the Time Ripe for Such Action. His Reasons United States Senator F. M. Simmons, Ex-Chairman of the State Democratic Executive com mittee, probably the most able politician ia-the State, gave out4 the following in Washington last Thursday night : . "It must be apparent to every one that the- sentiment in the State in favor of prohibition isso overwhelming that nothing cau prevent the adoption of State pro hibition as the policy of the State. This may be accomplished in one of three ways.; by an aci5f the Legislature at the speoial session, which meets next Tuesday, or by its submitting a constitutional amendment to the people to be voted upon at the next general election, or by an C act of the next Legislature. "Whatever may be the views of some as to the effectiveness of the local option provisions of the Watts law in bringing about ulti mate prohibition, it is evident that a vast majority of the people is unwilling to await the slow pro cess of this method ; and that we are to have State prohibition" in the near future by one of the three ways I have mentioned seems V be certain. "I have hadsome douM about what the extra session should do with reference to this matter, but after thorough and deliberate con sideration it seems to me that un der all the circumstances, giving full consideration to the interest STATESYILLE AND IREDELL COUNTY.
