AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE.
Some Expressions Concerning the Attitude
of tiie Anti-Saloon League.
To the people of North Carol in a :
There is a proper and not urr-
natural publjointeresl as to the
present policy pf the North Caro
lina Anti Saloon League, and in
response to this feeling we have
thought it advisable to issue the
following public statement.
By an overwhelming majority
the people of North Carolina have
declared for the suppression of the
liquor traffic in this State.
The State Anti-Saloon League
stands simply for the enforcement
of this expressed will of the voters
confidence to the General. Assem
bly elected by these voters to see
that in no particular shall the
verdict of last May be abated.
We do not ask for more than
the people have declared for, nor
the people have'deolared for, nor
do we expect less. The people
having so unmistakably declared
their wishes, it becomes the duty
of their lawmakers to provide in
all cases the proper, legal mach
inery for enforcing their , newly
expressed, will, and for punishing
all violations of the new statue.
Seeing that the enforcement of
the law is now in the hands of
our own State officials, we call at
tention to the fact that in most
counties no compensation is now
allowed sheriffs for breaking up
illicit distilleries, and we earnest
ly ask for a general law providing
for the payment of $25 for each
capture made by a sheriff, a policy
which has worked successfully in
Cumberland aud other counties,
and without which the machinery
is manifestly inadequate. Be
yond this we ask nothing.
We do not believe that the
whiskey interests can bring any
strong pressure to bear upon our
lawmakers for any weakening of
the present law, but we do not
think it amiss to warn our people
against agitation for seemingly in-
nccent or unimportant amend
ments. To make one change will
open up the whole subject affesh,
and offer another much-coveted
opportunity for the whiskey for
ces to spend mcney in an effort to
corrupt miblio sentiment, We
have seeif indications, for example
of a plan to use the apple growers
as cats paws the liquor interests
insidiously endeavoring to arousw
a spirit of dissatisfaction among
them in the hope of weakening the
law for their own ultimate advan
tage. We warn our farmers
against these schemes : we cannot
afford to make a hole in the dike
which might lead in the end a
bringing down the whole flood of
corruption and intemperance again
upon our homes.
It is our belief that the people
of the State, the Anti-Salocn
J eague, and the General Assembly
are alike resolved upon what has
become known as the "stand pat"
policy. Let us have no hurtful
agitation, and if it come, let the
blame be upon the heads of the
whiskey element.
If they seek to violate the law,
swift and sure punishment must
be noted out to them. Upon this
point we ask all good citizens to
be alert. It is the duty of every
friend of temperance, of course,
to see that our prohibition law
is thoroughly enforced, but it is
not more the duty of the temper
ance man than of any other good
cit zen. It is now one of the
State's statues which every offieiial
and citizen is sworn to support,
and whatever his original attitude
may have been, it is as much the
duty of every man to support the
Prohibition Law as to support the
laws against gambling! theft, or
arson. The same penalties pro
vided by-law for failure to enforce
these last named laws are also a
vailable in the matter of prohi
bition, and the duty of every citi-

of the United States District court
a transcript of a damage suit for

against the Southern which Judge
Ward of .Superior court recently
refused to remove to the Federal
court. The suit was mstitated by
Mr. Roueche some time ago. He
retained as counsel Craig, Mar tin
& Winston of this city and A. H.
Price and Bismark Capps of Salisbury,-
The "question .of "removal
from the state to the federal
courts was raised and Judge Ward
refused to move, Coursel for. the
Southern Railway therefore filed
a transcript of the casa in tbLgive entire satisfaction, and we
United States Circuit Court here
and at the proper time the ques
tion of whether or not the case is
properly in the federal courts will
be argued. In the meantime
counsel for the Southern appealed
from Judge Ward's decision not to
remove and the Supreme court
will pass on this point.
The suit for $50,00 grew out of
a head-on collision between extra
No.. 12 eastbound and No. 11 at
or near Swannoa station one Sun
day aftrnoon in 1906 Peter
Roueche was engii.eer of train No
12 and sustained injuries from
which he has- never recovered. A
number of passengers were severe
ly jolted or bruised as a- result of
the collision, while Conductor
Hough and a brakeman were kill
ed. In suing the Southern the plain
tiff names L. D. Flack, O. T. Hall
man and L. Sumner as co defend
ants and counsel for the Southern
alleges that the plaintiff sued
these persons not because he hop
ed to recover from them but for
the purpose of preventing the re
moval of the case to the federal
courts. In its answer to the alle
gations of the plaintiff the South
ern denies liability to the plain
tiff. Asheville Gazette News.
zen is the same in each case. Auy
negligent official should be
promptly removed as provided bv
tbes tatue.
Good citizens everywhere should
also let their city officials, sheriff,
deputies, and their solicitors know
that the better public sentiment
of the commuuity is behind law
enforcement, and in such cases
even a determined minority, act
ing with the lw as a club, cau
secure the same thorough-going
enforcement which is expected in
strong prohibition communities.
The moral agument for prohibi
tion has been too often stressed to
require further mention here; but
we do not think it unwise to add
that considerations of patriotism
have been no Isst potent in bring
ing the people of North Carolina
and the South to the new policy
ot statewide "prohibition.
As a part tf our progress in
striving fir industrial leadership
and because the first consideration
here must be the development of
a strong,- efficient paople, the
South in the same spirit in which
it resolved upon an educated
citizenship, has also . unalterably
resolved upon a sober citizenship
And baviug put our hauds to the
plow, we appeal confidently to the
patriotic men and women of
North Carolina to see to it that
there shall be no looking' back

mittee of the North Carolina

absolute faith in the supreme, vir

HOW WILL THIS WORK?
A Bill to Regulate the Shipment of Booze.
It's a Hard One.
Representative Langley, of Ken
uckey, will introduce Monday the
interstate liquor shipment bill
prepared by the Anti-Saloon
League of America to obviate the
objection of unconstitutionality
urged against the Littlefield bill.
The objection to the Littlefield
bill, was that it made interstate
shipments of liquor subject to
State laws immediately upon
crossing the boundary. This was
claimed by its opponents to be an
attempted delegation of congres
sional power and therefore uncon
stitutional. The new measure
prohibits the shipment of liquor
to any State, territory or district
of tbe United States, where such
shipment could not be legally be
made within the same, It is de
signed to protect both prohibition
States and dry territory within
local option States. Washington
