Stanly Enterprise, J. D. BlVINi Own cm and Edito. Ea end at Pootoffieein AlbenwW a sccond-elM matter. THURSDAY. - Sep. 21, 1911. Those who have followed the re ports of the murder mystery of Hen dersonville in bo me of our news papers will observe that North Caro lina journalism is not far removed from the yellow variety, and the presence of an element of sensation is all that is necessary to cause them to full in line. What happem-d in Maine on Mon day of last week seems yet to be an uncertain quantity. The Prohibition ists conceded their defeat on the night of the election, but later re turns indicated a victory for them. Following this reversal was yet an other which pave the "wets" a ma jority. Press dispatches of Septem ber 14 indicated a "dry" majority of 356. So the matter stands, and only the canvass of votes by the Govern or and his council will determine whether Maine's constitutional liquor prohibitory amendment has been repealed by the people or not. It is calculated that there was one vote for every thirteen of population. WHEN TAFT IS SILENT. The automobile has passed beyond the realm of merely expensive toys, and is now being reckoned as one of the factors in the industrial and so cial life of the future. The largest year of sales was 180,000 cars at an average retail price of $1,533. Next year is forecasted for 210,000 cars at an average price f $1,110. With the telephone, good roads, electric car lines, and other former luxuries re duced to a plane of practical need it is easy to dream of rural life in the near future bringing town and country together, with odds largely - .in favor of home-life in the country, It is the fool driver who is making the automobile unpopular with a cer tain class, but sanity will come this as it did in getting used to the bicycle, and in time farmers them selves will adopt the more hasty means of travel. In fart, realities o: to-day stem but as the dreams of yesterday, and whatever new strange thing the future has in store will occasion no surprise. hflitor Hanks, of the Hickory Democrat, in explaining for benefit nf the Charlotte Chronicle the reason for his editorial columns being a lit tie shy at times, gives a partial list of the country editor's weekly expe nonces, which finds an echo in the of lice of every Weekly in the State. Here is the list: Writing the editorials and the lo fats; reading the exchanges, reading uo proors; urumnnng up all the ads., often requiring three or four visits lo me same advertiser; writing some or me ads; estimating on job work; superintending the job office ami me delivery of the work; order ing stock; writing the mail Thurs days ( J ;;( papers, keeping the subscription list straight; keeping me uooks ana making out the state ments for the local and foreign ads. ana ior the job work and subcrin- tions; soothing the subscriber whose feelings are hurt, and collecting from me icaow who wont pay the col lector. Hiding rough-shod into this schedule, comes a troop of those Highwaymen, and Unforeseen Inter ruptions, and holds a man up any- wnere irom an hour to three-quarters of a day.

He is one of the central figures now in public life, being prominently men eti as a Democratic candidate for the Presidency. Certain Points of Tariff Board His tory Which He Will Probably Not Refer to. Washington, Sept. 18.- On ' is swing around the circle President Taft will tell the people it was neces sary for him to prevent a reduction of 'the cost of living, because the tariff board hadn'treported. Here is some tariff board history that the President will probably not refer to. The tariff board was created Sep tember 2ti, 11)09. On June 7, liMl, 21 months later. Congress tailed for whatever data the board had collect ed on wool, and was informed the board had nothing to report. What was the ta ri tf boa rd doing during these ill months? Soon after the appointment of the board, its chairman, Henry C. Em ery, established headquarters in the private residence of Frederick Hale, son of Senator Eugene Hale of Maine, who has been known f"r years as one of the most powerful defenders of ultra protection. InOctober, 1110, it was announced that "the work of the tariif board" was to be boomed at a series of ban quets. For three months the 1A queting campaign occupied the time and the atention of the board, .nong the hosts was the Arkwright club, the leading association of high pro tection manufacturers of the coun try. Then on February 1, l'.M 1. Chairman Emery was the guest ol the National Assaciation of Wool Manufacturers -the wards of Sched ule K with William 11. Wood on one side and Vice-President V. S. Clark on the other. The plan finally adopted for esti mating costs is the plan which, at thia tinner Kmorv a A vwnl t t n t. itit ! And this is the board for whoso re port all tariff revision must be held up! (Government by Stealth. The Taft administration is ev n unpopular with the army bf govern ment employees in Washington. While they are not saying anything publicly, they are very bitter he cause of the many rules inaugurated under Mr. Taft which enjoin them from appealing to Congress for any improvement in their conditions. Jl' the clerks should criticise their con ditions publicy they would be dis charged. The object of the administration in resorting to these harsh gag rule ! methods is to prevent a leakage of information which might prove in jurious to the Republican party. The administration managers ili not permit any government em ployee to give out information t- newspaper men until it has been O. K.'d by the head of the depart ment. The following otlicial order j signed by George Oris Smith, direc tor of the (ieolgical Survey, gives nr. idea of the Kussiau-like censor?; In p j attempted in this department: j "Rule "2. That no interview shall in ; granted without securing from Uh j person soliciting the same a promise I that he will, before submitting th ' material to his publication oiVuv. present a copy of his mamiM-ript to the director for approval. So far as is known among news paper men in Washington, imlhiru so drastic as this in the way of pn censorship was ever attempted be fore in America. Democrats Keep Promise. Iast November Maine elected i state-wide primaries. That promise has just been fulfilled, exactly as the Mame Democrats promised it would be. Three years ago the Republicans of the nation elected William H. Taft to the presidency on his personal pledge that he would revise the tar iff downward. President Tuft has turned down two opportunities to keep his word. The Democratic legislature of Maine did after election what it promised to do before election. Mr. Taft has but exemplified the old publican rule of forgetting promises as soon as an election is won. COUNTY NEWS THIS WEEK. New London, Sept. 19. Neal Lef ler spent part of last week in At lanta.

Kansas has been reduced to such a I point that I have not seen a drunken man in the city of Topeta, a place of 50,000 inhabitants, durinp the last twelve months; that I do not Mne any recollection of having seen a drunken man in my home city of Lawrence, a place of 1,000 people, for several years; that in making a rampaiirn throughout the entire State and delivering public address es to ninety-two counties I do not re call seeing a drunken man during the year. t assert that crime has decrease in Kansas under the influence often perance legislation. I will show you hy the records of our penitentiary that we had 72-1 convicts when the prohibitory law- was passed, twentv- iinie years ago; that lAtwilhstaml- i.ig a steadily increasing population the record shows that after two years of prohibition the number de cnased to OiiS; that since that time the population has increased nearly 100 per cent, while the numlwr of cinvicts has increased only seven teen per cent. And here let me add that we have no capital punishment in Kansus and hence prisoners for murder become permanent occupants of the penitentiary to be carried on the rolls. At the present time more that fifty per cent, of our county jails are without a prisoner under conviction. Last year forty-nine of the 105 coun ties did not send a prisoner to the penitentiary. We have only one con victed prisoner in our county jails for 7,000 inhabitants an almost un believable fact in criminal statistics. And the Attorney General cstimatt s seveiuy-nve per cent, ot these pris oners are in jail for the violation of the prohibitory law; of the StiO con victs in our penitentiary only 1 !.' are natives of Kansas. Chief Justice Johnston makes this statement: "The closing of the si loons and joints has hat! an excellent effect upon the morals and material interests of the people of the State Among the consequences of prohibi tion are better homes, happier fami lies, higher standards of intelligence and education, and, of course, a grea; reduction of crime. No statement or proof is needed to suppnrt the claim that these results follow the closing of saloons and the effective enforce ment of the prohibitory law. Tlu v are the natural and inevitable results and these have been realized in Kansas." W. A. Johnston, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Kansas. TRUTHFUL ADVERTISING THE BASIS OF SUCCESS.
