JOB aAXE BY AIX DRUGGISTS DEMOCRACY , PROHIBITION ; POLITICS. A Question Upon Which All Good People Can Units tor 6eneral Good. Hon. C. B. Watson, once the democratic nominee for Governor, and some half dozen others say that the present prohibition act is ' undemocratic ; while Mayor Boy den, Chairman of the. Demo cratic Executive Committee of Rowan County, one of the half dozen or so, declares it political. Governor Glenn and all the State officials ; U. S. Senators Simmons and Overman and our representatives in Congress; our State Judges and Solicitors ; Ex Governors Jarvis and Ayoock, the democratic State Senators and Representatives who enacted the measure: the three tried and true distinguished democrats now candidates for the nomination for Governor and, at least, vo per cent, of all other democratic of ficials and leaders with practically the whole democratic press disa- gree with Messrs. vvatson ana Boyden and their little band of whiskeyites. With one voice these declare the measure both democratic and republican abso lutely non partizan entirely moral and economic. Most re publicans agree with these in this declaration, and heartily join hands with their democratic po litical opponents in support of this measure whioh is absolutely devoid of a sintilla of party poli tics and whose success will be for decided betterment of the morals and of the material interests of the whole people. All the Christ ian denominations entertain the same views .and tneir ministers, officials and leading members vie with each other in support of a cause which is for righteousness and morality. Which are oorreot? Watson, the oft defeated democratic can didate, and Boyden who, as chair man of the campaign committee of the liquorites, is manipulator of their immense election fund, or all the leaders of the Demoorat party and most of those of ' the Republcans and all the religious denominations? While heartily agreeing that the measure is non-political and non-sectarian, and rejoicing that all political parties and all relig ious denominations stand togeth er for the success of this creath moral and economic reform, some who are deceived by the sophis tries of the opposition, may pos sibly be led to see the right and do it, if their attention is directed to the principles of true Democra cy and true Republicanism. The fundamental principal has been formulated thus: "A gov ernment of the people, by the people, for the people." Simply stated it means "The highest good for the greatest number." Judged by this principle, who that acknowledges it can hesitate to vote against the liquor traffic ? If a true democrat or a true re publican accepts the fundamental principle it must cause him to vote against that which benefits only those engaged in the traffic and injures al other men, women and children. Based upon that fundamental, these necessarily follow: 1. Laws that encourage and foster education, virtue and re ligion, and which condemn and punish as far as possible, ignor ance, vice, immorality and all wrongs to the state. Consider! Who can hesitate what vote to cast? 2. Personal liberty not h- cense, r uu iioerty to do as one pleases, limited however, by law to the point that no wrong be done others or the state, which means laws forbidding any traffic or occupation which miures the public or creates a monoply to tjre iujury of all except those en gaged in it. 8. Local self government properly understood and inter preted to those vitally interested in any particular act to have the right to vote for or against it whenever the subject matter equally and materially affects a township only, or a county, or a city, or a state, or the whole re public. This question equally effects the whole state, therefore the whole state is consistently permitted to vote together upon,tutes but tnere ifJ only one 0Xl-m it. The state is the unit in this ' nal- Ife is bealing, soothing and question. Considered in the light of dem ocratic or republicanpriuciples the question is manifestly non-political, as it is non-sectarian, and is neither undemocratic or unrepub lican but is both democratic and republican and essentially moral. Our mayor, the happy possessor of two chairmanships- essentially incompatible and the chief man lpulator of the campaign fundB of the liquorites, says the question is political. He should see that while there is really no partisan politics in it, that his own party is responsible for it, and that the policy of that party for the last forty years has been growing and surely leading up to the point current, for which the last demo cratic General Assembly is solely responsible, and not fight his own party's policy. But probably it isjwell, as it is, for after next Jan uary when the demoralizing iquor traffic shall, by the will of the people expressed on the 26th, for ever cease in North Carolina, and Rowan county has given a major ity and possibly from the city also against the mayor's side, it may result in putting him out of politics by his putting it in now. Brother democrats, let no one be deceived by the action and opinion of the chairman of our party. Remember that he is also chairman of the whiskeyites. Respectfully, J. N.
