In 1304 the prohibition forces in j
North Carolina met in Kaleigb toj
consider ways and mean for carry-;
lng on their work. I
Senator Simmons made it conven-
lent to be on hand and made a speech j
to the prohibitionists stating he was!
in sympathy with their movement,!
etc.. and ho and other Democratic j
politicians persuaded the real proai-j
bitionist in the State that the way toj
'secure prohibition would be to place j
their cause In the hands of the Dem-j
ocratic party.
Have the Democratic politicians
lived up to their promise made to the
nrohibitlonlst of North Carolina? I
Isn't it a fact that the Democrats
have used prohibition, and in some
Instances the church as a stalking
horse for them to ride into office and
then turn Ueir back on their friends?
Let's see what has been the Dem
ocratic record on prohibition. We
will quote from some eaiinent Dem
ocratic authority:
"The Raleigh Times says there
are 'seventeen places in Raleigh
where anybody can get drink
any time by paying for it.'
Charging also that the police do
not try to enforce the law
against these offenders. The
Times further remarks:
" 'There is one man in Raleigh
who claims to have made $10,
000 in one year on the sale of
whiskey since the prohibition
law went into effect, and his
place didn't have the name
"saloon" over the door."
"A bad record for the State
capital Statesviile Landmark."
Rev. H. M. North, in the course of
a sermon at Edenton Street Metho
dist Church in Raleigh said the "con
dition in Raleigh is deplorable." The
Wilmington Star has reported from
time to time of the enormous illegal
1 ...V. 1. 1 4- n ... n mW.
Charlotte papers have reported sim
ilar conditions in that town. Golds
boro Record reports similar condi
tions in that town. These are only
a few of the instances, but judging
from the statements in the papers,
the same condition exists to more or
less extent in practically every Dem
ocratic county in the State.
The Lincoln Times, a Republican
paper, states that it has information
to the effect that "liquor is flowing
almost like water" in certain parts of
Lincoln County and that some of
them have become bold enough to
carry it from house to house through
the neighborhood and retail it to the
thirsty at night. Lincoln is also un
der Democratic "good government."
They have claimed that the prohibi
tion law is a good law. If they think
so, why don't the Democratic officials
show their faith by their works; ev
ery law on the statute books should
be enforced. If a law is a good law
it should be enforced for the good it
will do; if a law is a bad law, the
only way to show that it is bad is
by enforcing it. Therefore, there is
but one rule for good government,
and that is to enforce every law on
the statute book, good or bad, and
by doing so, good will result there
from, either mediately or immediate
ly.

he say, 'that the President will

President ha not communicated
to the Hon. Reed Smoot hb pro
gram of revision. Certainly Mr.
Taft ha not talked about 'the
recommendation of the Tariff
Board, for Its business is to col
lect information and not to
frame schedule for transmission
to Congress through the Presi
dent. As to Mr. Taft' refusing
to sign bills that provide for
lower rates than those 'submit
ted by the Tariff Board, we feel
ure that he has not told Senator
Reed Smoot what he would do if
such bill were sent to him.
"It must be clear to lesser in
telligences than the Senator's
that if the Tariff Board is to rec
ommend rates and the President
is to ask Congress to accept
them, and again If the President
is to veto bills providing for low
er rates than those submitted by
the board, the board must be
bigger than either the President
or Congress. Mr. Taft's concep
tion of the powers of the Tariff
Board does not invest it with
even the shadow of a legislative
function, although the Demo
crats seek to make it appear
that he wants to force upon Con
gress the conclusions of the
board.
"It may be presumed that the
President will form his own con
clusions from the information
obtained for him by the board,
and that he will urge such revi
sion as he deems for the inter
ests of the country."

THE SOUTU'S GREAT FUTURE.
Mr. Frank J. Gould, in an inter
view published in the Manufacturer's
Record, says:
"I would rather invest in the
Southern part of our country
than elsewhere, for, In my opin
ion, that is the section to share
more than the North, East, or
West in the future enhancement
of value. I have great faith in
the broadest development of the
whole South. Moreover, as the
South is now but at the begin
ning of its real upbuilding,
more profit is to be made from
the increment in values that will
inevitably take place than in the
more developed sections of the
North. In this respect it might
therefore be called a virgin coun
try, promising the largest profits
to careful investors."

REVISION OF THE TARIFF.
The Democratic papers for several
months have contained articles on
what the Tariff Board would recom
mend to Congress through President
Taft. Many of them have claimed
to have inside information as to what
the board will recommend, while as
a matter of fact the Tariff Board wil
make no recommendations but wil
report to the President the difference
in the cost of production in articles
here and abroad and President Taft
will then make his recommendations
to Congress from the data furnished
him by the board.
The appended editorial in the New
York Sun on "The President, the Tar
iff Board and Congress," seems to fit
the situation and we reprint ' it in
full, as follows: .

THE SQUEAL OF THE SIMMONS

It is amusing to watch the squeal
ing and squirming of the Simmons
organs about Marion Butler's Raleigh
speech. They are all declaring that
the circulation of this speech .will
help Mr. Simmons, but forthwith all
of them proceed in the next breath to
deliver a tirade of abuse against Mr.
Butler. This is noticeable and very
funny, to,. begin with. The kind of
abuse dealt in all of them against
Mr. Butler bears the same ear-marks,
as II it came irom one common
source.
In this general tirade of abuse,
they always charge that "Mr. Butler
betrayed the People's Party." If it
were true, as they charge that Mr.
Butler betrayed the People's Party,
we would like to ask what that has
got to do with whether Mr. Simmons
