Col.Fairbrother Takes a Sur vey of the Politico-Prohibito Situation in North Carolina and Draws a Few Deduc tions Therefrom Which May or May Not be Correct. Fairbrother's Everything. Different reports come from Salisbury where the Democrats who are ppose'd to prohibition held a meeting a few days Rfrn T t in rlnimitfl li c mnrv tVtnt. thuru was not present a corporal's guard; Hint. A. Hpnnt. hn IF i nun rocTUinrloH nnr! Representative Morton was practically " ...... alone in hia scheme. Ljrus Watson wrote a letter which was read nnd which was to the point; but it was un derstood that the meeting was a fizzle, pure and simple. McNeil, of Fajette ville. writes a letter to his home paper concerning the meeting and he paints things in more hopeful color than given out by the press representatives, but from what can be learned there was nothing much, if anything, doing. The object of this meeting was to get an expression from the Democrats who are opposed to the Democratic party submitting prohibition to the State; it was to organize and attempt to raise funds and maintain a literary bureau, to the end of arousing the masses to a sense of duty. But when one figures on this proposition there is nothing in it. The Democratic party is committed to the prohibition mensure. The leader of the pnrty in the Stnte are all com mitted The Democratic olatform which 'be State convention will hand out an' vhich it will order swallowed withon any questions being asked or answer', will declare for prohibition. and the ha d full of patriots who see their liberty or the toboggan will look in vain for a emedy inside the party. The Democratic party in North Caro lina believes the time has come whe this State must be prohibition. It be lieves that the Nation should pass laws topping the importation of whiskev within the State; it believes that thpeo Ie should vote out likker for all time ind in order to keep a howl from readi ng the clouds, it submitted the question ind ordered an election in May. It didn't wait until the regular elec tion: that wouldn't be politics. Neither id it it propose to submit the question f wet or dry in the State, but it pro- mses to keep the SO per cent, of territo ry it already has dry and have the whole state vote on a few towns. In other words the Democratic party proposes to force on the people of North Carolina what a few leaders want, and the rank ind hie are not consulted and not con- iderd. so far as that is concerned. And the rank" and file will not kick ver the traces on the whiskey question. that is a moral proposition and a man tnusn't make any noise when the morals of his State are being discussed. He is tot allowed to think for himself and con dude as he irresistibly would that regu- 'ation is the only way to restrain an vil: he is supposed to shut his eyes. have his sentence read and then do the bidding of the leaders self appointed and elf chosen. This is the situation. If Mr. Morton and Mr. McNeil and Mr. Watson do not like this program they have a chance to kick over the traces; to get into the Republican party which doesn t care much what it does, u any votes are in sight but they dare not do this, because were they to 'jine" the rads they couldn't be heard any longer. so they remain between the devil and the deeD blue sea: write letters; call con ventions and resolve and re-r solve and will die the same. Right on the eve of the proposition of Mr. McNeil to open hia literary bureau and flood the State with literature op posing prohibition comes the announce ment that the Denver convention will in all probability tack a prohibition plank on the National platform and of course that would end the heart-ache, if not die sorrow. The Republican party has lieen the party in other years that -tood for temperance laws; Democracy and whiskev erstwhile went hand in hand but Democracy is now posing as a tee-totaler and the Republican breth ren are sweating blood in an endeavor to head off the wide-spread sentiment against whiskev, i here ' is no use. 1 hings are upsiue down and the two great parties; the . . . two parties which have been so long in existence and which have become so con tradictory are up against it, and Mr. Hearst with his Independence League is going to do a stunt this year wortu while. We note the Washington Star in its cartoons recognizes Mr. Hearst and wonders what he is going to do, and even the New York Sun which hates rlearstand Hearstism says in its Sunday paper editorially "As a plain matter of fact, without reference to the wider circuit of Hearst ian activities or hopes, Mr. Hearst 1- at present an important factor in the poli tics of iew lork Hearst has announced positively, that he will have a candidate of his own in the field and it must not be forgotten that Hearst almost carried the State of New York and he did carry New York City. His platform was said to be the soundest and best of any platform ever submitted to the people, and in this year of grace there are thousands 01 men wondering what to do, and Hearst, as the New York Sun well says, "might not only uoll the vote of his attached follow ers. but also become in every State the refuge of the indignation and despair o, many American citizens whose business or livelihood has been ruined or is tnreat ened." So if Messrs. McNeil. Watson and Mor tor, et al are looking for a place to ride in safety they may be forced to wit until Mr. Hearst s chariot passes Dy. it will be the most attractive thiug on wheels this coming campaign and it is a surprising thing to know the number of conservative people who are thinking that his party is the one that will save the country. While Hearst all along has been ac cused of being yellow find sensational; while he has advocated things that caused men to shudder, it stands ancon- caused men iu buuuuci, ouuo .wU- tradicted that the platform of the Inde- pendenee League was tne oroaiest ana of anvthintr before the American ceoole last election and it was so sound KJ W MU J 0 " - - and so inviting that the majority of the people in New York State almost ac cepted it. This time Hearst will not head the ticket but a man of Hearst's choice will head it and the League will surprise the world Not only in New York, as the Sun points out, is Mr. Hearst an important factor just now but in tne nation, tiecause it must follow that his following will carry the balance of power and in the mixed and confusing situation between Brvanism and Taftiam there will be uo choice and Hearst' . Independence League will look good to millions of the dissatisfied and disgusted. The Beautiful. Eloise Dare.

Richmond News-Leader. One of the ridiculous development of editorial inconsistency that we see in some Southern Democratic news papers is a demand that the Philip pines should be treated like white people. The Columbia, S. C, State a ew days ago was pathetically elo quent in its denunciation of an American orator at Manila who told lis American audience that a very ittle independence was all that was good for the Philippines. The State resents with fervid indignation our assumption of superiority and wants know what would have oeen thought if a British officer had made a similar allusion to the American residents of Boston just before the beginning of the revolutionary war. The funny part of this is that the State and some other Southern Dem ocratic newspapers, If they had their way. would trv m the Philippines xactly the experiment that the New England people tried on the South after the civil war. Years were need ed to persuade Massachusetts tha le Southern negroes were not equal to the white people, were not ade quately civilized, were not fit for self government. Taking an adverage and judging by the reports and his tories, the Filipinos are not half so good or so trustworthy or capable as t he Southern neeroes were in 1808. et the action of the white people in assuming superiority over the i ill pmos and in accepting the task and utv of guiding them to cmhzatior and capacity is rebuked by the StaU as arrogantand insulting insolence he same blind fanaticism, the sam atuous inabilty to appreciate fact. mt forced t he horrors of reconstruc tion on us would foree worse horror on the Philippines if the State and ther newspapers which think like it ad their way. By the way, was the State one of lose enthusiastic and hysterical con temporaries which proclaimed Agui naldo to be the equal of George Washington in courage, character. statesmanship and majesty? Would MakeEm Balk. Stateeyille Landmark. The editor of the New Bern Journal is evidently one ot trie Morally Stunted. Anyway he's trying to defeat prohibition, ifear him: "What more fitting opportunity thau on the 2Gth of May to make the election doubly moral, for every voter for prohibition, who has not done so, to sijrn the temperance pledge. Let the temperance people have at every voting precinct m North Carolina pledges to be signed by each voter as he casts his votefoi State prohibition. The moral effect of this would be incalculable. I' would be a double binding force. D would be a ballot declaration againsi the liquor traffic, sustained by th pledge to Almighty God that ever voter would live prohibition and so there would be temperance in Nortl Carolina that meant morality. Well, doesn't that jar you? Th. Journal editor is trying to mudd the waters. He evidently knows that car loads of people who vote for pro- libition will do so with a mental reservation to take a nip when op portumty offers. On one occasion a victim of the drink habit who ha about reached the limit was urre by his friends to take a whiske cure, tie refused, tie mid neara, -m-tr m IV 1 he said, that if one took the cure an ever again took a drink death wa certain, and ne didn't propose to ti himself ud m any such fashion. fco with many of the prohibition voters.

To Save Game Birds. Dying Breeds to K- Defended Throughout all the Land Sportsmen Back Audubon Campaign From State to State Bird Butchers Opposed With Big Market Lobby. New York, March 18th. Until all the mating birds of spring may fly from their winter home to the North to rear their young, safe from the pot shots of unsportsmanlike and market hunter?, anational campaign against spring shooting will be carried from State to State, it was announced here today. Acting on the protests ot sportsmen and the warning of the Department of Agricul ture, the National Association of Audubon Societies has undertaken to make a last stand for the existence of the dying races of American iranie birds in eviry State in which shoot ing during the breeding seasou tenot forbidden by law. In Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey and Okla homa a determined fight is today being carried on against the com mercial interests which are organized to fight the movement. That the most desperate measures have been taken by the men who butcher birds for the market to pre sent protective legislation in these States as well as the twenty others in which the law still leaves the game birds" easy prey while beeeding, is known today. Although tins market 'obby has always been active in op posing laws which threatened to urtail their gains in any particular State, the possibility of such a reneral protection throughout the country has aroused them to finance widespread and unscrupulous fight. To pit against this rich and selfish nterest, the Audubon workers have simply the moral support of sportsmen and the general unselfish lesire of the people to save the game birds from extinction. From January first on to a reason able open season in the fall is the period in which protection is to be asked for the mating birds and their vouug. In fifteen States and nine Canadian provinces the game birds ire already shielded by law during thiscritcial time. Unless such meas ures are taken at once by the remain ing States the Government authori ties have agreed that game shooting in this country will soon cease to ex ist and every species become extinct. On the Legislatures in tbe Dakotas, Wyoming. Iowa. Nebraska, New Mexico, Illinois, Indiana, Penn nivainia, Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and all the Southern States will depend the life or death f American game when this matter h brought before them this year or next. In each of these States all the niouev and influence of the com mercial bird killers, is always at ork for their short-sighted policy f exterminating slaughter for to norrrow's table. "Every real true sportsman is be iind us in the fight for the dying run birds of this COUlltrV." said William Dutcher, president of the inimi.1 , 14 1 issuciuuuu ul us urnuquuit-vir, i-i Brodway, today. "We will makeour stand for these game species just as faithfully as we have worked for the protection of the non-game birds. If every patriotic citizen will take his dace with us to defend the birds tgainst rapid extinction, we shall be quipped to oppose all the selfish in terests that money can buy and the xruesome story of the wild pigeon, 'he heath hen. the Kskimo curlew ind the Carolina paroquest species, xterminated by the wasteful greed of man, will not be repeated. Tbe Prohibition Bill. flandleiuan Central North Carolinian. The Carolinian yields to none in loyulty to the cause of temperance, ut is of the opinion t hat temperance :an best be promoted through the reatiou of healthy sentiment against ntemperanee througli the teachings f the churches and in the home irele, by lesson and example, aided by wholesome local option laws, iuch as we now have on the statute books of the 'State, rather thau through theenactment of prohibition laws, such as the prohibition bill passed by the recent special eession of the Legislature. Men cannot be legislated into righteous deeds. If we are to improve the morals of our people and make our citizens more temperate, let the virtues ol tem perance be proclaimed in thechurches And above oil let it be enforced in the family, that parents both by word and example may inculcate in their children both temporal and spiritual which spring fromahfeoftemperai ce and sobriety. The whole question of temperance has long been up to the various towns, cities and communities throughout the States. They keep saloons if they want them, and tney have the privilege of votiug them out if they do not want them under present local option laws. What could be fairer? Drinking is no Ionsrer popular as it has been in the past. The great world of business bas set it seal of condemnation on the man who drinks. Corporations and business institutions turn him away, even the saloon keeper will not have him when he offers his ser vices, ine man wno annus is at a distinct discount in the industrial and business activities of the day Why not let the temperance problem solve itself as it is doing as fast as time can roll, against intemperance? Why all this turmoil and strife, and expense over the fetate? A severe cold that may develop into pneu monia over night, can be cured quickly by taking Foley's Honey and Tar. It will cure the most obstinate Backing cough and strengthen yonr lnngs. The genuine is in a yellow pack ate. Sold at Parker's Two Pmar Ptow.
