Bears tke Signature of ANOTHER REASON. Our Correspondent Makes it Plain Why we Should Not Vote For Whiskey on May 26th. In seeking to portray the moral evils of intemperance our public speakers, so far, have failed to mention -the dreadful condition of the descendants of men, who have fallen below the level of a brute, from the constant use of intoxicants. We find many in dividuals who repudiate, with vehement scorn, the doctrine of hereditary, yet they ' will push their investigations to the limit, when they essay to raise poultry and stock soulless things that are here to-day and gOxxe to-morrow. We need not dwell on their inconsistency but proceed to prove to all unbiased persons that it was no idle threat when we read.in Holy writ that "the sins of the fathers shall be visited on the children to the third and fourth generations. " Some of you old people recall some one you knew fifty years : ago, who boasted of the immense 1 quantity of spirits he could drink ; exit from the stage of life, We goto our insane asylums, and look with compassionate wonder on the low browed, jib bering idiot, and the question forces itself on the minds of un- j thinking ones Why did God so ' afflict this innocent one, that he should be born into the world with a smaller measure of reason than the beasts? The answer j comes singing do wn the1 ages. j "Be not deceived, God is not 1 mocked; for whatsoever a man ( so weth that shall he also reap, " land his innocent children must, ! perforce reap it too. The dear Lord so tenderly pleads with His creatures, to insure the health of i their descendants by keeping His" commandments, but we ' cooly appropriate the blessing obedient ancestry, and flatly deny Uis right to transmit the evil that comes from prenatal dis obedience. No amount of growl: ing, however, will ever change one jot or tittle of the law that visits the iniquities of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation. The best weapon with which the. prince of darkness is fighting for the liquor men, is the imperi ous belief that dominates a large majority of our citizens, that this whole nation would be a -grave yard if we could not get whiskey for medicine. Many people be lieve that it is a panacea for every ill that flesh is heir to. The latest scientific research has brought to light the incontrovert ible fact, that nine persons are destroyed by whiskey, to one that is even temporarily, relieved from pain by it, and the pain is accentuated when it returns after the use of any stimulant. The person that takes whiskey as physic, or for, any other cause, never possesses the same power to resist disease that he had be fore; and no child born of drink ing parents ever possessed the vitality of children whose parents were tetolers. A very popular excuse that is offered by some men. against the desired' movement is, that per sons who Want liquor are going to have it, and if it is driven from public towns and cities the coun try will be filled with ilicit dis tilleries, and we will have no pro tection against its ravages. . In the name of reason we ask what protection the police force in cities afford to country people, when the husbands, brothers, and sons come reeling home from one of those "Christianized death traps" that are still the fashion in some towns? The question that confronts us is, not shall this, or that, or the other man have the means to des try his life, beggar his wife, and children and bring untold suffer ing on unborn generations, but must the honest, temperate God fearing voters of our grand Old State continue to receive blood money for revenue? The ques- will be answered to our everlast ing honor or shame on the 26th. of May. Men may be so exceed ing conscientious (hear oh ye angles!) that they cannot cast a vote -without knowing the out come, but if you absent yourselves from the polls, even take on an extra supply of this 'blind tiger whiskey", that you sOj;abhor(?) that you are rendered hors de combat, you will still be voting, for "he that is not for us is against us." If you can so far forget your obligations to coming generations as to fail to cast a vote for prohibition, for sweet pity's sake don,'t essay to repeat the Lords prayer, or might make the inhabitant of the bottomless pit shrink with derision to hear you say: "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

To the Editor : I am prepar ing rather carefully a fulFand dispassionate review of the ob jections made to State prohibi tion in North Carolina, but there is one matter about which I can ! no longer keep silent, and which it may be as well that I must omit from my review, as I am less in clined to treat it dispassionately.- I refer to the statement which liquor dealers have, made over and over again, in substance if not in words: '"The strength of the liquor in terests is in the country. We admit that you prohibitionists will carry the towns, but we are going to sweep the" rural dis tricts. We used to have the ne gro to stand by whiskey and save, it in every election, but while we haven't got the negro any longer, we are banking on him to take the negro's place." . ' j This is the claim, farmers of North Carolina, that the liquor men have made from the begin ning of this campaign. What do you think of it? WTiat of this studied and oft-repeated insult that the farniers, the intelligent country people of North Caro lina, belong body and soul to the whiskey sellers, and may be counted upon to step into the poor, ignorant,, venal negro.'s shoes as the great refuge and stand-by of the liquor interests? For this reason, if for no other, the farmers of the State should redouble and then redouble again their efforts in behalx of prohibi tion. Let the country vote be so decided, so overwhelming, that never again will friends and hire lings of the saloon dare insult the sturdy farmers of the Old North State-by such a reflection upon their manhood and their honor. It was 'the farmers of North Carolina who won immortal re nown at Mecklenburg Court House. It was the farmers, of North Carolina who gave to Ala mance and Moore's Creek' and King's Mountain their undying fame. It was the farmers of North Carolina largely in the Civil War who won for North Carolina the glory of being "first at Bethel and last at Appomat tox." To say the sons of such sires have now degenerated into the willing slaves of saloon-keepers and whiskey interests, and that they may be counted on to take the negro's place as the tool and cat's paw of these men this is a slander, which, as their spokesman, I cannot too bitterly deny nor appeal to them too strongly to hurl back at its origi nators. A few months ago I stood on the old battle-ground-' at Lexing ton, Mass., and saw the statute of the ploughman there that marks the spot . ' . "Where once the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard round the world." To the farmers of North Caro lina I would now appeal to repeat the deed of their fellows in Massa chusetts a hundred years ago and more. -A world-wide movement is now on against intemperance and its cowers of darkness. On ! the other side of earth the Celes tial Empire of China is making a determined, heroic effort to shake off the galling chains of the opium habit, one of the worst forms of intemperance. In far-away Eng land the growth of temperance sentiment is only less pronounc ed than here. In our own land, North, South, East and West are agitated as never before. But North Carolina, remember, is the - first" State in the present temperance revival to vote by ballot on prohibition. In all the other States the question has been decided by legislative act and now the whiskey interests are claiming that North Caro lina's vote will show that the peo ple, that the country people, are not behind this movement of their leaders.- North Carolina, there fore, is the touch-stone. Its voice is eagerly awaited in all parts of America, the reverberation may even reach to Europe and Cathay, and if our rural population will but exert itself to the utmost', it may be said of North Carolina in 1908 as it was of Massachusetts in 1775, that "Here once the embattled farmers stood i And fired the shot heard round the world." Seen in its large significance, therefore; the May 2Gth election I affords. nob only tli3 ooc?F,icn for ja crushing rebuke to V-2 most violent recent insult to the farm ers of this State, but it is also the supreme moral opportunity of fered them in this generation. That they will prove themselves worthy sons of their sires when the test comes, I have no doubt.

One would think that every Democrat would like to win at the coming national election, and that every Republican would have similar feelings about the success of the candidates of his party. But this does not seem to be the case, because so many voters are wrapped up in the personal politi cal fortune of some particular candidate. There are passionate third termers who can see no one but President Roosevelt as fit to . be chief magistrate. There are ardent Bryan men who would rather see the Democracy defeat ed with Mr. Bryan heading the ticket than to win with Governor Johnson, or JudgeGray, or Judge Harmon. Such voters generally care nothing for the success of their party, or its principles, but are ready to follow their favorite son to the last gasp. In 1904. thousands of Demo crats voted for Mr. Roosevelt, be cause Mr. Bryan was not renom inated for the third time, and thousands of others stayed at home on election day. Yet Judge Parker was an eminently honest and nble Democrat, and would undoubtedly have been one of the best Presidents. He had always supported Mr. Bryan, and, in fact, subscribed to his campaign fund in 1896; bu'- because Mr. Bryan did not control that " convention Parker was shamefully cut by those who should have supported him by all the ethics of political parties. Quite likely many Republicans will refuse to vote at the coming election if Mr. Roosevelt is not nominated for a third term, and there is every indication that a still larger number will vote against him if he is nominated. The question of tariff reform or other .great issues does not in fluence the action olsuch Demo crats or Republicans. Their minds are moved by hero wor ship, though their hero may be of practically no service to them, or, as in the case of Mr, Roose velt, is a reformer who has ac complished butlittle, though he has promised much which he has been unable to perform. It would be so with Mr. Bryan if he should be elected. He could not bring about government ownership of. railroads. He could not induce three-fourths of the states to agree to amend the national con stitution for the national referen dum, nor could he influence Con gress to do other things that he promises to stand As far, at least, as Democrats are concerned success should be the first desire; for without it Democratic policies cannot be put in practical operation. It is not so much who shall be nominated as who can be elected. If Mr. Bryan cannot unite the party, and that seems certain, what is to be gained by nominating him to be defeated? Another Demo cratic defeat will entrench the Republicans in power for another decade, and their policies of plundering the public will be more than ever fastened on all alike. The most ardent friend of Mr. Bryan can hardly desire such a catastrophe. Miller. Mrs. S. Joyce, 180 SuVlivan St., OJaremont. N.
