SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 15.- i97 THE DOPE GUT OUT OF IT NOW There was a time when people who didn't want whitkey abolished insisted that to pro- hihit it would mean to bririfj on the market I VHHH M"3 'IVIIi MKMIVtllV 9 Witt pocd principally of whmkey. But that day ha paed. Under the Harrion anti-narcotic law nothing to ? imply make "drunk come can be o!d. The far-famed Peruna no longer be guiles The New York Herald, which is agin prohibition, writes this editorial : That the distilling of whiskey must ccac. but that the distillers will be al lowed to produce alcohol for medicinal and industrial purposc,js a piece of news well calculated to hearten the disciples of total abstinence. But tftc second thought, in this a in other caes sounder than the first, causes fearsome apprehension as to the medicinal and industrial uses to which thi alcohol will be "put. That it will enter more largely than ever into the concoction of patent medicines. cannot be doubted, The elimination of whikey will give a decided impetus to the ale of the various '"bitters" and "tonics' and "wncrcign remedies' which have ruined the stomachs of o many professed teetotalers in the rural districts. The con sumption of these nostrums, especially in prohibition states, has always been enor mou. and the ills that they are warranted to cure unlimited. When no disease is to be combated they are consumed under the pretense that they "tone up the system or "purify the blood. That whiskey often becomes a tyrant is admitted by every rne except its slaves. In this connection we mav remember that in the forum sccnc'in "Julius Caesar a citiren fears that ahorse tyrant than the one murdered may come m the tatter's That micht have bten forceful a few vears fT. There wa atiawhert Ferula Hftet - ttr-WtteTf. Kcggi Dandelion Bit- ftr, ancJ ,hc fa mous Checkers made by John L. Casper made a world of prohibitionists drunk about twice a week. But that has been prohibit ed alo. Peruna doesn't carry the magic it once did. and celebrated Congressmen no longer write testimonials lellintrof the delichts of the ry jnc mere wnuio oe no more arunxs. ui The mg that would have been timely before the passage of the Harrison anti n4rcotic law. o If you smell likker in the water maybe it got there via the sewer. Who can tell. Never Again. At midnight Saturday night all distilleries in the Unilrd State stopped making whiskey. Thr theory, i that hundreds of millions of grain are consumed in making alcoholic bev erage, and to conserve the food supply the litillerie will be forced to cloe down, with the exception of making alcohol for medicinal and scientific purpose. This will in no way decrease the consumption of whikey, because in bond and on hand is enough of it to make the nation drunk for forty year. The price of whiskey will go up, making il a hardship on the man with the thirst or the continued jag but Old John will still be in evidence. But it i an opening wedge to national prohibition, and that is what the nation wants. Il i problematical, however, whether this move will cheapen foodstuffs. Perhaps not. It will, however, leave the nation a larger sup ply than otherwise. We progress, and when the government finally learns, as it will learn from this experiment, th.t it can raise revenues in other ways, the whole people will conclude that it i bctterto make no more strong drinks. The talk about disarmament, while a great thing, i not as great as to have a world free from strong drink. And the war is bringing thi about; therefore, if nothing else is accom plished, it will not have been in vain. o Marksmanship. Mr. Dempscy Bullock, of Wilson, who is interested in the conscrvatfon of cows, writes us a letter saying he is glad to know the wo men of Greensboro arc to form a rifle club. He cites the fact that recently in Kentucky a woman shot at her husband and killed a hun dred dollar cow, and thinks that a rifle club will perhaps perfect the markswomanship of the fair sex. - This is another angle to the thing. Wc hadn't thought along the lines of cow conserv ationbut if it is possible to so direct our wo men's skill in shootfng that they will not kill; a valuable cow when they shoot to kill their husbands something worth while will have been accomplished. , ; X JXB AT TBI KXWI TA2TDI AJTZ OH T BATHS WHEN WE PLAY POLICY GAME The Wilmington Dispatch -wants to know why a man should be criticised for expressing his honest opinion. It asks: . If Judge' Boyd considered the federal child labor law unconstitutional, , why should he be criticised for so deciding? " He is entitled to the credit of acting con scientiously and in accfrdance with his convictions on the law governing the case. Since the morning stars first sang in heaven there have been discords, and since Man as sumed dominion over fowl and beast and all living things he has handed down his opinion. Those -who arc not under oath to protect the Constitution do not understand that a federal judge or any other kind of a judge cannot al low himself to be swayed by popular senti ment. He has an oath to protect the Consti tution, to uphold it, and no matter what the people may think about child labor, and no matter what the Supreme Court of the United States may say, the Keating-Owen bill is clearly against the provisions of the Constitu tion as it is written. There is no doubt about that but there is doubt as to what the.Su- fremc Court will say. Running along the ines of progress, it may say that Congress has a right to pass such a law, but under the writ ten constitution it has no such right. It has a rieht to pass a law which would say that child labor should not enter into products offered for interstate commerce, but this law says that if a child is indirectly connected with a mill and has nothing to do with the lawful product of fered for transportation it may be denied the use of interstate railways. That is stretching the point. In fact, the government argued that the bill was not to regulate commerce, but to prohibit child labor. Therefore it is simply migt making right, and Congress wanted to "put it over. That is all there is On that question, and the chances arc the high- est triDunaj win cnaorsc .congress. yLf, - The kicker, the knocker came into the world just like a otato ,bug. He is here. His province is to object; to take the other side; to prove that he is right and you are wrong. There arc men who will argue and "betyer fivcdollars" that white is black and black is as the driven snow. I.ay down a clean-cut proposition, no mat ter what, and there is some fellow who "doesn't know about that" and who will "sup poMn' the case. All these things are a part of the universal programme. The law books are written and the laws arc made to entertain two "sides, or three sides if there arc that many dis satisfied. Go into court and hcar the lawyers profoundly expound the law. Both sides have the precedents and citations at fingers tips and tongue's end. They prove what they con tend, and there is no question about ft. Whether it is talking the tariff or talking politics, the fellow wedded to his side knows he is right, as the other fcllor Itnows he is wrong. Judge Boyd, under oath to uphold and pro tect the Constitution, presumably the most sa cred instrument in our keeping, found, under oath, that. the Keating-Owen bill was uncon stitutional, and so stated. And the person who criticises a judge who has done his sworn duty is an ass and undesirable citizen. o The one-man street cars recently put on by the Public Service Company look like the proper thing. Why use two men when one answers the purpose? Conservation of labor true, it is. o Can't Be Done. Commissioner Hoover says he cannot fix the price of meats, and therefore the honest farmer will still look you in the eye and ask nineteen dollars for a frying-sizc pullet and allow that "times is hard." But it is suggested every where, and no one seems to fall for "the sug gestion, that if the women of the country would organize, nationally, and pull off about thirty meatless days say, two a week for a few months that prices would go down. And it seems reasonable. Pull off enough meatless days to top the sfaughtcr houses for a time. Insist that every loyol woman join the order and on certain days all over America have no meat to cat. The people could stand for it. and to stop the supply of meat in a nation like this for thirty days would mean that there would be an accumulation of live stock that would surprise every mathematician on earth. It is a proposition that can be carried out. Greensboro women cannot act single handed. It will take a national organization, it must be perfected but wouldn't it cost too much? But what difference about the cost if conserva tion of food is the end sought f fThe, money will not be wasted, but certainly the meat would be saved. But where is the patriotic woman in America who has the nerve and the price to launch such a movement? Possibly doing some Red Cross and hasn't the time. o : The pardoning businss is being overworked. But it is an ill wind that blows good to nobody. and out of this will come eventua ally a Pardori- j - - , '. ing Board. ESTABLISHED MAY, 190. THE INNOVATION STRIKES EUROPE ine unuea states nas ior a long umc nciu. j , the exclusive on the unwritten law and its eh- ! V;. forcement. But last week there w-as a case in ? ; ' England, when Lieutenant Douglas Malcolm' j -: was being tried for the murder of Anton i ... ? f . Baumbering a pseudo count, that the unwrit ten law was introduced and no other claim jfjl, made for the vindication of the murderer and j : the unwritten law went. Malcolm was found j j ; not guilty in Old Bailey. Court, and tbjs was t the first case ever tried in London where the j unwritten law was the sole defense. The judge, in telling the jury what to do i explained that the unwritten law was not a. law, and said: - ; The unwritten law is opposed to the--most elementary principles of British jus- ; tice. The" husband had no legal property V in the body of his wife. She .was mis-4 r tress of her own destinies, and if she chose; to-give, herself to another the husband was v ; not entitled to murder or 4;o punish the " : sin nf thr man to whom she went. The jury then brought in a verdict of ac quittal, which was received with loud cheering ' in the Court, the cheering being taken up by . ;. the crowds in the street. ;x;M It may be true that legally a man has no -'-: legal property in the body of his wife, and it , may be true that if the husband kills the wolf that comes to prowl and destroy the sanctity. -I ; of his hearthstone he is guilty of murder in - the first degree, but whether true or not, and . " . whether law or not, the average jury isn't go- ; . ing to hang a man" or punish a man who de stroys the destroyer of his domestic happiness. :X ; ; There -should be a written law. That is r . why there is an unwritten law. ' The law ' ; should give every man the right to "defend the sanetitv of his home.--There is no reason whv i; uuiaina. - iruc, il ia.tv.es n lung tunc iu jjcl xu Englishman to. depart from the customs of his ; -r, fathers, but now that London has accepted. ; the unwritten Jaw we may look for a few more murders of high degree. '- "fi It may be, as the English judge laid it down, ?fe that if a wife chooses to give herself to an- Ki'; . other the husband has no right to punish the 7 ;?J man to whom she went, but, take it from us, .. it seems to be understood that the husband . ' ; " has the right. In the case of Harry Thaw. this fact was forever settled. Thaw was an, V; imbecile;, he was dangerous to society; yet White had gone into his home and allured his child wife from that home, and the jury knew . it. No matter what Evelyn had been; no mat ter what Thaw was; that old unwritten law which is firmly fixed in this country was ap plied, and Thaw escaped a death he richly de- served on general principles. Wherever the outraged husband appears or the outraged woman appears there will always be found a jury that will disregard what the judge says and find the offender not guilty, when it knows he is. And that ishy the law should be written. The men who knows his home has been destroyed isn't satisfied with simply procuring a divorce. He feels that the man who entered his home was to blame, and ' he doesn't figure that possibly the wife was ; more to blame than the man. So he wants to go gunning forthe snake that crawled into -his home, and he goes gunning for him, and ; often he kills him, and always, so far as we . know, if the facts are plain, the murderer goes , free. This being true, why not write a law V and make each day an open season for the man ; who destroys the home? After all there seems to be no mystery: to .:-' j the King murder case If what the New York h,;'fj officials say is true, it is all as plain as the peri ; ? 1 scope on a submarine. The story now is that vp j Gaston Means had Mrs. King tied jup to pay ; him large sums of money; that she had paid r them and refused, -perhaps, to come across . -'. .' t with more. The fact that she was killed isn't surprising, and if Means didn't kill her he pos- v , sibly will have to prove how she met her death. ;- It is a dirty mess and promises to be quite a .; sensation. That Concord gets the date line may make Atlanta' weary, but every now and . t , v, then North Carolina pulls a stunt' worth while. . -r: O - .U''-; ':;0;.; The Open Season. 'S-JMa Washington sends out word that the open j season for decr is now at hand. In fifteen s ;x;l states the law says it is all right to shoot-;si1 them, but down here we have a special: law, ' , and but few deer. Down Manchester way X 1 ,; ' there are plenty of deer; down east ther are bears and all kinds of game. But why an open ; ' season, for the killing of a species of animal 1 - -almost extinct? Why not close the season for "V. twenty years and give the wild game a chance? ; .. Simply because . the sportsmen help make the . laws. . 0 . - And up to this time the State has not sent ' ;; Dr. Summers a check for good behaviprl v .ItV.- , looks like he should be eiven a check for at : P" least a thousand dollars to reimburse - him while) he isn't practicing medicine.
